Next 8 games on the road...some tough opposition too. Can we salvage a couple of wins, maybe go 2-6 on this trip?
Arizona is 0-2 vs. CUSA this year, losses to DBU and NMSU. But they are also on a current 8-game win streak, so they appear to have righted their early season woes. I'm hoping we can maybe steal one out there.
Trip starts tomorrow night at ULL, weather permitting.
Go Dawgs! surprise me.
5-3 would be huge
4-4 would be manageable
3-5 is what I expect
But I could easily see 2-6 or 1-7 with this group
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
The team by themselves with their talent could go .500 or better. The problem is the serious lack of good coaching and anything resembling game winning coaching strategies. Burroughs won’t steal bases and he won’t bunt unless it’s a ridiculously obvious situation. He basically never tires to catch anyone off guard and play a game aggressively. Burroughs is the text book whatever happens, happens blah baseball coach. Louisiana high school baseball coaches are way better at scheming wins and taking the game to the opponent than Burroughs is. He come closer to pulling a rabbit out of his _ _ _ than to upset a favored home team. Go Dawgs do it yourselves or prove me wrong LB.
I agree, I think we are in 5 out of the 8 games late and coaching has us end up 3-5. Now whether that is them costing us a chance to pull it out or flat out causes us to lose from in front.. I won't try and predict.
An interesting and very sad state of affairs is that Warren Nolan has Tech projected to finish the year at 30-26. That means statistically speaking Tech is expected to go 5-17 the rest of the season. They also have the Dawgs going 9-15 (6th place) in conference which means from the current 6-3 the team will go 3-12 from here on. Now obviously all these presumed games have to be played out on the field and nothing on paper counts ahead of time, but what is real and undeniable is the perception of what a pretender to a legit baseball program Tech is thought to be.
Someone in another thread the other day mentioned they saw good things and a 40+ win season. It made me a little bit depressed, because I can see the potential wins on paper, but watching and listening to the games, it's hard for me to see those win materialize. I hope I am wrong.
I can’t imagine anyone thinking we’d win 40. Maybe it was the discussion about 40 not being enough? What brought up that discussion was that we were half way to 40 before the midpoint of the season.
Not only did they think 40+ wins but they think the staff has the team progressing...
"I'm encouraged where the team is at thus far. We are good, but not great. Have a few good tests coming in the next few weeks Arizona, DBU, ULL again, looking forward to seeing how we handle the competition. Lane is up for the job, the coaching staff has the team growing. Lots of baseball left. I expect we will get to 41-43 wins on the year."
He’s a proud WBB fan and Holtz lover. There are your signs.
Apparently I missed this statement whenever it was said and by whom, so please catch me up. ThanksOriginally Posted by DallasDog
Vs ULL 0-0 after 1 with Tech walking 2 and making an error. The Dawgs did good to get out of a bases loaded jam.
If those two replay angles they showed were all they had, there's NFW there was enough visual evidence to overturn that safe call on the bunt.
Would have scored easy on that shallow fly. SMH.
Tech starts the game in innings 1 and 2 with runners on 2nd and 3rd and can’t get a hit to score.
#6 and #10. Both 6 year players, can't get a base hit or a deep fly ball or even a 1 out grounder. #10's average has gone down 50+ points in the last 10 games and some "experts" think Comeaux should be the first out when we get Davis back.
