Cajuns vs UNO

[CrazyCajun]

We are currently in 5th place in the west, stAte has one of their best teams under Raffo, Texas State looks good as well. It will be a dog fight to win the west and flat out f’n miracle to win the league.

Well considering most teams can look at us now and expect to win, it might not be a bad thing. They can look at us, come to Russo and expect to win. We no longer have a home field advantage.

If we are still looking for something to accomplish in 2019, then we have big problems. We could have accomplished a lot in the first 16 games, but there's no drive, no passion, no desire to want to accomplish something.

The team wants to make the conference tournament. Weekends are how that's done. Midweek games are now for getting inexperienced players up to speed. Sad but true.

With the way the whole importance of the RPI model has changed over the years, midweek games have also become important for that as well. Robe was mentioning recently that some teams will throw their ace on a Wednesday night just because they want a better chance at boosting up their RPI.

Tech threw their Friday, Saturday and Sunday guy against us. I guess they felt we were a big RPI boost that they needed to win.

Tech is notorious for that kind of stuff

Yes, but that applies only to teams competing for an at large bid.

Bottom 2 teams don’t make the tournament. The past 3 years, those two teams had 10 wins or less in conference. So basically just need to 1/3rd of our conference games to make the tournament. If that’s going to be a problem, then let’s play all freshman and sophomores so that we aren’t “young” again in 2020.

They are no longer important for RPI when you start 6-10 and are pretty much eliminated from at large contention.

Cajuns are now competing for a conference tourney bid. That is a weekend only thingy.

That is true. Also, they are playing behind, in my opinion, the best Cajun pitcher I've seen in the last 15 years. That is something to play for and something to watch.

Yesterday I spoke at length with a former Cajun pitcher who played pro ball. He said Gunner is a big league arm, has huge makeup and should waltz through minor league baseball with ease.
