Not many college teams do that.

But ok

Our very own program did these things very well and often prior to ~2017

The Good Ole days.

Change of venue.

I think you are giving examples that are more of “that’s baseball” than inconsistency. Yes, college teams are going to have games where they just crap the bed. What we are watching with this team is double digit strikeouts from the offense AND double digit free bases by the pitching staff over and over and over. Many of us have been watching this program for decades. While we’ve had some really bad teams, I’ve never seen a team swing through so many fastballs and not be able to throw strikes at the clip we are witnessing. Unless we take these next two, we will have still failed to win a single series against a team with a winning record.

You have a good point. There is a difference between "That's baseball" and tactical miscues.

Since I've started watching, Cajun teams were built around pitching, then defense. Pitching seems like an after thought lately.

We have moved from a program with 3 or 4 solid starters year in, year out, to a team of middle relievers taking turns starting.

Nezuh has one pitch and is a starter somehow. That might work playing JMU. So Miss and Coastal will eat that ____ up.

It apparently doesn’t work against JMU either.

LOL. I guess not

JMU has better pitching than we do. Let that marinate for a while. They almost dominated us for 9 innings friday and they totally dominated us yesterday. How is that possible. I remember the statement at the start of the season that we have a much deeper staff but might lack a starter type of arm. I dont mind if we have to piece it together in order to win…if we win. But, we over halfway into this and still have no clue what we need to do. Ill say it till im blue in the face, when this program has been good in the past, we developed freshman arms. The blueprint was given to this staff. Yes we have gone the juco route to fill specific roles, sometime its worked out very well, others it hasnt. Thats the gamble with juco guys. When it comes to pitching you have to recruit pitchers, not athletic football players that pitch. We have not hit on many Connor Cook’s recently.

The pitchers we used to get won’t come here if they can’t get developed.

Especially not under Thibodeaux.

Especially not under Thibodeaux.

Or anybody for that matter who is not given the reins and let coach
