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.

I always find it funny when people bring up errors like it has nothing to do with the other team. It's what we do, we put pressure on defenses. We run every ball out, we have a lot of speed on the bases. We cause people to make errors because we keep coming at you. Ask your coach, he said he hasn't seen a team put pressure on like us in a long time. If it was an error or 2 in 1 game then maybe, you had errors all weekend and normally are very solid defensively. It's not a coincidence. Our bullpen will be fine, we have played half the season without 2 weekend starters and we are 43-7. No more mid week games left, we have every arm back, healthy and available now to get through 3 game series not 5 game weeks. We also just saw probably our best closer pitch his first inning of the year this week. We will be good.
