Approach at the plate has to be better. Swinging at the first thing over the plate all night. ULM has worked counts and destroyed us with timely hitting/small ball. Hope we can win the next 2, if there is a next 2 this weekend.

Edit…3 batters, 3 swings at 1st pitch.
Edit- 4 batters, 4 swings at 1st pitch. Hahaha
At this point I think Kermit is telling them to swing for the fences to end the misery. Let’s hopefully get them tomorrow.
It was happening early
in the game too though.

21 fly outs tonight in 38 plate appearances. Interesting approach at the plate. Win 2 tomorrow

Pretty much expected, under the current regime being a middle of the road Sun Belt team is about as good as it will ever be.

Mentioned elsewhere that our baseball program reminds me a lot of our basketball program. Just when you think maybe a corner is being turned and then take a couple of steps backward.

We really seem to struggle against bad teams lately. To start the season, we had no issue beating bad teams, now they seem to be our Achilles heel. How do we win a series on the road against ULL and then come home and lose the series to ULM, a very bad team. That is the signs of a mental break and playing down to your competition and that is coaching pure and simple. It is easy to get kids up for big games and big series, not so much for teams that everyone thinks we should beat. Again, that is coaching.

I'm afraid we'll see what we always see vs top 25 teams...get out to a 2-3 run lead then fall apart in the 8th.

The relay throw and pivot from the third baseman was flawless.

Only poor bullpen decisions score runs, for the opposition that is.
