In a tie game, bottom of the ninth, we went down on 6 pitches. Still need some maturity and patience at the plate. In 10th, Banks at the plate with a 1-2 count. You know he's going to swing at something out of the strike zone before he walks. Strikes out swinging on 4th pitch. Still, we win the ser...

Rasmussen has really hit the ball well.

Sorry, just joking.

We have those same deficiencies!

The ball explodes off the bat when he does makes contact.

That didn't age well.

Keep living on your 7 game win streak. I have plenty to sa y after watching Tulane athletics for 55 years. I know plenty and this is a sandlot team with a softball coach. OK, expert. Maybe you should be the coach. I'm not going to argue about something so stupid. You call a 15-13 team "sandlot...

I'm not in favor as of yet to replace coaches but the guy at Lamar is the first choice.

UTSA was better than I first thought, and we are not as good as well. UTSA actually has better talent than us. We have some glaring deficiencies that other schools have exploited a lot lately. Bottom line, we are young, and the older players have regressed. The catching situation is beyond belief. ...

A first class, large and modern football operations building AND a full-size IPF

or

a baseball field

That really is the question.

I think you could have both plus a decent basketball arena if there was a commitment.

We are competitive, we could not say that last year. We have no seniors either. Brighter times I believe are ahead.

Oh it's gonna end on Aug 29th!

We played good baseball all weekend.

The game tomorrow night at 6 will be in Hammond. It will be on ESPN+. They were picked to come in 7th in the 9 team Southland. They are 11-6. They have a win over ECU. They have losses to Tarleton St. and N. Dakota St.. Don't forget wins against Cal St Fullerton, ECU and was an out away from beatin...

Extremely well pitched game by both starters. The lack of a D-1 catcher is hurting us in the field. It also might be time to sit Banks a game or two.

Two evenly matched teams, both games could have gone either way.

If we can clean up things defensively, this a pretty decent club so far.

The umpiring left a lot to be desired. Grambling SP could have been charged with at least 5 balks and they were very bad with fundamental baseball. We looked tired and I agree it was good to see some of the bench players get time and play well. A hard game to watch. Also, we need a new Play by play ...

No reason to drop a sport because we are not good at it. If that were the case we should have dropped football years ago. Might as well drop basketball.

Tough typical series against West Coast competition. Hopefully the bats will continue to improve, and we can find the right combinations on the mound.

I have no idea how many games we will win, but we are a different team.

No question. If we just get Banks to find his groove, we will really get it into gear. UCI's starter has really good stuff.

Honestly, we do not know if NW is good or bad. I still think we will see some roster moves with pitching.

mbissanti wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 4:43 pm I am good with this win and series. I see a team with potential who will get better as the season goes on. Banks still no hits. If he was on, we might have swept. Pitcher more positive than negative. The fielding is a work in progress.

Banks hit a missile today that was barely foul.

I think it is a little early to judge this team. We should know more after the UCI and UL series.

Fact: You are gonna shit the bed if Ty becomes the starter.
