Wally Pontiff Classic vs LSU Preview | The Grind

When you can't even put the ball in play consistently with runners at third, you can't expect to be anything better than mediocre.

This isn't on the coaches. Too many guys on early and in scoring position. Bad execution all around

You have NO CLUE what you're talking about.

Jeremy Talbot is a technical hitting coach. He's a "fixer" of swings. He is a classic over thinker.

Matt Deggs is a guy that instills belief and knows how to call a game from the box. Totally different coach, even though they run the same system. Chip Kelly and Mark Helfridge run the same system too.

Correct. Deggs is also a strict disciplinarian. Talbot is laid back. Same system, different implementers. The man seems more significant than the system from what I gathered.

How many men we left on base? I'm guessing 7-8. Most in scoring position

The runners who were at 3rd with 1 out in the 7th and 8th were the most frustrating. All season Talbot forced his hitters to bunt in questionable situations and then in a 1 run game in 7th and 8th inning he doesn't even attempt a bunt with runner on 3rd base?!? Man oh man...

You really want to see this line up face post season arms? This same offense who consistently gets shut down by mid-week guys? I know that is is possible for the Cajuns to turn the corner at anytime but at this point we have a pretty large sample size and it's very clear that Oir guys are petrified to be at the plate with a runner in scoring position.

Sooooner or later this team will figure it out. I hope it's bf the conference tourney. Or it will be a crappy Memorial Day.

When you get a baserunner on with 0 outs, you score more than 50%, according to the announcer (even though he was a terrible announcer at that). We did that how many times tonight and couldn't get the guy home. Had runners and scoring position and couldn't get them home. Antchak gets a 1 out triple and we get 2 BAD strikeouts.We were 0-8 with 2 outs at the plate

[raginsaints]

Our 2-hole hitter is slugging .282; he has 2 extra base hits all year long
Tyler Stover is an every day player who's hitting .210.
Handsome Monica was supposed to be a big bat in the middle of the lineup, he's slugging .297

As a matter of fact, we only have 3 guys who are batting over .300 for the year and one of them (Lott) doesn't play every day and 1 guy slugging over .500 and he's our leadoff hitter.

I don't care how well you pitch, if you hit like _______ then you're not going to win.
