Come on CajunRage, here you go again. I don't see many giving Coach Rob a pass in this thread and for the same reason Coach Marlin isn't getting it right now, it's their recruits and pretty much the same staff.

If both miss the post season this year and next both should not retained

Guys don't forget Robe has a track record. Never missed a regional three years in a row.

We have to win the tournament to make a regional same as basketball If Robe can't do it well he needs to feel the heat same as Marlin.

Again, I'm not here to argue. But you can't put it on Robe or Daniel when a young pitcher doesn't understand how to waste a pitch. You can't put it on the coaches when your (supposedly) all-everything SS can't throw out a guy on a routine ground ball. Can't put it on the coaches when your 4 hole hitter gets plssed when he's asked to bunt with RISP.

I definitely see some decisions I can't understand, though.

That is the most frustrating thing about this early start. I went back and looked at the hitting stats through the first six games and it's clearly improved over last season's first six games. The pitching is close to the same in ERA, but the one glaring decline is the defense. I just don't understand why Cantrelle has declined on defense, we should be better in the outfield and we haven't been.

The hitting numbers give me hope right now and the bullpen will thin out come conference play. The defense is my major concern now, but I still have some confidence it will improve. There is plenty to be concerned about, but we are only six games into the season and I'm not ready to pack it in yet.

Yes, I'm still waiting to hear how Marlin has the deck stacked against him......

You were waiting because I was at church. The equivalent of 27-7 and 16-2 in baseball gets an at large bid out of the sunbelt. Not the same in basketball.

I don't see it right now, both still have enough support from the administration to at least get another year for certain.

No, actually it's not just the record, but your record against 1-50, 50-75 and 75-100 RPI and schedule strength. That's a huge difference in my book.

[Dad04]

Using your right fielder to close game 6 of the season, with a 1 run lead on a Friday, tells me and anyone paying attention, the coaches don't think anyone in the bullpen can get 3 outs before giving up 2 runs.

If that's not the case, then why was that done? This is something Cajun fans are unfamiliar with. Very troubling for someone with scar tissue from the last two seasons.

That's my hope, that this team comes together by the half way point of the conference schedule and plays it's way into a regional. If not, it's going to be another long season.

It’s 2019. We shouldn’t be in a position to “hope” they turn it around at some point in season. We are in this position because of a lack of preparation from the coaching staff, mainly the guy at the top.
