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.
We've had a couple of injuries which threw the rotation off. But any pitcher in the pen should be able to come out the bullpen and give at least one good inning.
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 feel 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.
