Deggs on the Great Scott Show - 3/21/22

Please tell me he didn’t say this…

He didn't, I was poking fun at how when he was hired his stories were always a little too coincidental to me. (I. E. He actually did find a ticket stub while running, and the story of being in church when it was time for the "Peace be with you" hand shakes and he turned around and someone was wearing Cajuns gear in Texas or something like that)

Perhaps I am being too skeptical, but man, this dude's stories around the time hired were wild. Then I remembered that he was also peddling a book and motivational speaking engagements before taking the job here and it sent my skepticism into overdrive.

I at least respect the fact that at the 5:00 mark he says it’s all on him. “When a team with good players and talent levels doesn’t play well, that’s on me.”

Curious, what is everyone’s take on how good Troy is in relation to the rest of our conference schedule?

Troy is a very solid ball club. They swept Indiana the weekend before us.

Troy is indeed a solid team, but not great. Our next series is with South AL (15-3) who is very strong at everything with a microscopic team ERA two full runs less than us at 2.65. Their slugging % at .435 is 40 points above ours. We have our work cut out, but we seem to play better at home.

The series after that with GA Southern would appear to be easier with an ERA above 5.

Troy is better than everyone probably thought. I think their pitching is more consistent than ours, but i dont think they are great. They made us pay for our defensive mistakes at the plate. They are on the upswing for sure.

I know they’re on the first year of their head coach. According to some here, that means they’re rebuilding . So we just got swept by a rebuilding team.

Rebuilding, but rebuilding at home. I kid, but seriously, we look more tentative, less hungry on the road.

This team is more different on the road, compared to home, than many other Cajun teams and not in a good way.

I think that has everything to do with a team following the lead of their coach. He's an emotional manager, and they need that emotional push.

Appreciate the feedback, guys. In the games I’ve been able to watch I’ve seen potential, but little to no consistency. And some high level talent, but little to no depth in a lot of areas. I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t see us winning a lot of conference games with the amount of fundamental errors we seem to plague ourselves with every night.

Sloppy play is the one thing that stands out now for sure
