If Louisiana does not get a national seed I would figure it went to some SEC school.
They could have had a better record by having a bullpen that isn't struggling so much. We have no true closer that can come in and throw strikes and get outs, lately your stress level goes up when we have to depend on the bullpen to hold on to the lead the offense built.
Now if the opposing team gets on a rally, that's one thing, but when its walk after walk, throw a few wild pitches and hit by pitches in there and its very frustrating.
I promise you Coach Robichaux is very concerned with the Post Season coming up and the way the pen has been pitching.
The only teams that really beat the Cajuns by hitting was Alabama game 3, WKU game 1, and TXST game 2. People can bash me all they want, but Robichaux is saying the same thing being an ex-pitcher himself, it's driving him crazy.
I always fill bad for our starters that hold a team down for 7 innings and hangs on to the lead but his pitch count is getting up there, so you go to the bullpen to get the final outs, not just give the other team the game because no one can throw strikes.
They better get it together soon or we are going to have to build big leads to bail the bullpen out which should be the other way around.
Well, we donated you guys 7 runs last weekend with our top 25 defense. So we appreciate the help in the 7th.
if I was a Cajun fan, I would be glad I got out of there with two wins. If ASU doesn't screw up a bunt and give up 3 unearned runs, we win Friday.
Wow, well you coach doesn't seem to think that way! Clearly he thinks the Cajuns put pressure on the opponents defense. Of course our bullpen gave you a gift as well Sunday, using your mindset. I chose to believe Astate and UL found ways to win those games.
