It would be bad for the Conference if we only had 1 team in the post season. I just hope the Cajuns didn't peak too early and the bats and starting pitchers can get it back together again.
The Cajuns have a tough 5 game week. It would definitely help our RPI if we went 5-0 for the week, but that will be a tough task with 4 out of the 5 games being on the road.
I'm sure ASU is gonna want to beat us bad and are going to be ready for us in Jonesboro. With a sweep ASU could pull within 1 game of the Conference lead which is going to add fuel to their fire.
It looks like another stressful week and weekend coming up. I don't have any fingernails left atter this past weekend. I never thought I would see our hitters held to 1 hit and that was a bunt single.
Plus the Cajuns will be without Coach Robichaux for game 1 of the ASU series. I would hope the Conference would review those umpires, they have everything on video. That first base umpire was pathetic.
I'm just glad that the game wasn't close when they made such terrible calls. I played baseball all my younger days and I don't think I've ever seen an umpire call someone out at first with such confidence being right on top of the play looking at the first baseman's foot on the bag.
So both teams go to the dugouts since it was the 3rd out. Well, there coach comes out arguing that his foot came off the bag. So not only does he overturn his call but both teams have to come back on the field and the opposing team gets a run.
This call was amoung others he missed, such as the TXST first baseman making an unassisted play but while running to the bag he tosses the ball toward the mound before touching the bag.
And as far as Coach Robichaux bumping homeplate umpire Hudson, it looked like Hudson leaned into Robichaux and brushed his arm, its all on tape and ESPN3.
Like I said, it didn't affect the outcome of the game, thank goodness, but we did lose our Coach for 4 games since the homeplate umpire said he was bumped twice. You get suspended 2 games per bump. These guys were terrible!!!
These guys don't belong umpiring Little League and that's being serious.
