"We did a lot of good things, but we did a lot we can clean up,” Glasco said. “We’ve got to work on our baserunning. We work on every day being a nightmare and being super aggressive. When you do that, it’s really hard to run the bases correctly. It’s easy to run the bases if you’re going 80% going around them, but when you’re going 100%, you’ve got to make split-second decisions. We’re going to get a lot better at that.”

Glasco has to learn how to coach third base. He is hurting this team…

You need to learn softball and how aggressive base running works. Glasco does not run the bases.

Making kids take wide turns at 3rd when the ball is in the infield is not aggressive, it’s stupid. Learn the difference.

Look at it like this. These first 5 games have been against teams that aren't that good. It is early in the season so Coach Glasco has a chance to try and work on some stuff (base running wise) to see if it works against weaker teams. This will give him a good parameter to see if he can really push the envelope against better teams and better defenses. Most of these base running issues where on the players. We also had mental errors, like when Coach Glasco gave a runner the steal sign twice and they missed it both times. That is frustrating also. Coach and the players will get better.

So you really think Glasco was deciding in the moment how wide a turn the base runner would take. You think he has a remote or what? This may be a teaching moment for the next game but not an in game coaching moment. Learn the difference. No matter what, I suspect you would be eating cheese. It’s the RP way.

We played some pretty good teams this weekend. We will play some great teams later in the season. But I am very excited about how good this team could be.

Sorry but in reality, none of the teams the Cajuns played this weekend were very good. All were rebuilding with marginal talent. The UAB starter in the first game on Friday was legit but after that, their staff was was very weak. The North Texas staff was devastated with the departure of Trautwain and Tulsa was, well, just Tulsa. None of their players could hit quality pitching like that which the Cajuns have and none had any quality pitching, with the exception of the first UAB pitcher, so none of those teams really provided any test for the Cajun pitchers or batters this weekend. Cajuns did what they needed to do and run ruled every game but one.

It was nice to see softball dominate weaker teams again. This week will see who this team really is.

I agree, although compared to other schools in the belt, the teams we played were tougher. Just look at ulm, they were perfect through the weekend too, but played nothing but HBCU's. I'm excited to see how this team plays against top notch teams in the next coming weeks

Sorry, what I should have stated was that all of the teams that we played are traditionally pretty good teams (with the exception of Texas Southern).

You might be right about rebuilding, I was just stating that they are traditionally decent teams. It's not like the tournament was made up of really bad softball schools.
