Cajuns vs USA - Pool B G1

_ I must have miss this???

I feel like bandwagon king right now. I am getting jumped on from every angle. Its not like I brought in upon myself.

Just wait and see my predictions will come to fruition, they always do!

In all seriousness, I get tired of the damn same stuff after every game. Soft this, weak that. Just once I would like him to tell Jay after a game. "Jay I f*ked up, I didn't have us prepared, I made the wrong call. I should have taken Geith out after he gave up 3 bombs in 4 innings and 3 straight hits to lead off the 4th. We had a righty ready in the bullpen, but I left Geith in against the righty, it was the wrong move and they made us pay. After that we were just too far behind." Instead we get the "We weren't mentally tough enough... blah, blah, blah" ....... _

thats funny right there, i also would love to hear robe say that on a post game show!

_ If I am not mistaken, SLU has not been to regionals since 1998.

If I am not mistaken, we have not won the Sunbelt since 1998.

Once again, I will say that Robe needs to feel pressure, not be fired. He doesn't need a pat on the butt and an oh well, good season coach. It needs to be felt by him that if he goes 3 or 4 years without performing, then he is canned. We have blown games with bonehead mistakes. Games that could have given us an at-large bid before the conference tournament started. We are not going to get the athletes the big 6 get, but we can damn well compete if we learn how to play the game fundamentally. That is how teams like UC-Irvine and Coastal Carolina got there. Our issues can be fixed because it has nothing to do with talent but commitment to the little things.

Why is it Apples to Oranges? Both D1 baseball, both similar conferences, though it is a step up. He's had success, but so has Robe. At least Robe has won championships, been to regionals, etc. Also, who's to say Artigues didnt just have a single great class the last few years similar to say our class that left in 07. Robe, by all means, has one of the best incoming freshmen classes in the state and region.

Anyway, thankfully this is all hypothetical and all the "what have you done for me lately" fans dont make decisions.

Still waiting for that SLU coach to make a regional appearance. 2011 doesn't look like its going to be the year for him. Can you say 2 and BBQ?

_ one thing i agree with you on for sure, it does get old hearing Robe say we need to get tougher, well who recruited these "not tough" kids? Who coaches the "not tough" kids at practice. It is almost as bad as Bustle's football teams being young for 8 years. he needs to figure out what made his past teams tough and do it to every class. We have the talent, but it seems when we get put in a tough position we fold more often than not. _

Exactly you can't tell me that all of these kids are mentally weak. Someone has to make them that way.

When you start a kid on opening day after watching him all spring and he goes 0-6 in his first two games and then doesn't play for a month, you don't think the freaking kid is going to be a headcase the next time he gets in the batters box.

And yet we've been to 7 regionals without winning a tournament championship. Hmmmm.....


However, Robe has won a few regular season championships.

You want him to change now because you don't like it? Robe has been successful here because he is consistent in his approach. He's surely not changing to please you.

Conference...or tournament?

_ Smoke Laval was at a program with ZERO resources and went to a program with UNLIMITED resources and couldn't win there.

Be careful what you wish for...you just might get it

Trust me that little devil is sitting on my shoulder whispering in my ear, but every year when we get our a%%es handed to us in the conference tournament his voice gets lower and lower.

no just once, when he makes a mistake, he should put it on him, i think that would go a long way with the players. unless you are suggesting the robe has never been wrong,
