Yes nice series for Lamar. I am thinking anywhere from 3rd to 5th seed. If things go Lamar’s way today 3rd

Another nice win for Lamar. Now hopefully a seeep tomorrow to be 13-11 and at least move ahead of McNeese. The only one above 7th that they took series is Northwestern, so I don’t know if that would put Lamar 6th or better

Not haters, just facts

Very good coaching staff. That is why they played like an HISD school last season. Certainly they will be better, I don’t think they can be any worse Losses FFM, Dayton, PAM, PNG, TC wins GP, Willowridge WOS, Silsbee, SF big ? Marks also if a good coaching staff why is record not very good in years there?

Sounds like a big plus for the Bulldogs, however same coaching staff, so look for a 2-8 to possibly 5-5 season for the Bulldogs

Need 2 more wins and be ahead of McNeese and hopefully some others. Nice to see the bats come alive and some nice pitching

They need to win all 3 to avoid being 12-12 and tied with McNeese. A play in game vs them in Lake Charles would not be good. I do not see them being above 6th or 7th. They just don’t have the pitching. Do not be surprised if they go 1-2 vs HCU

Another lackluster performance by the Cards, again playing down to their level of competition and again poor pitching and not much hitting or runs we will see tomorrow if they split or go 0-2 hopefully they can win 2 of 3 from HCU

Another good season expected for the Raiders, however they will not make it to state, possibly 3rd round

I see no improvement under Hooks. She has not had a winning season yet(not even close) Her recruiting has not been good. They will continue to struggle under her guidance because the pitching staff is extremely weak and the hitting is about the same as the pitching and way too many errors This is where we differ

You are probably right Bruder - 6 seasons. Record 167-174; conference 86-72 only 1 really bad season Hooks - 5 seasons. Record 73-161; conference 37-72. 4 of 5 seasons really bad If current AD keeps her, then he and the Lamar administration do not care about the softball program. I believe this season was the only season they have went to the conference tournament unless she did the 1st year with Bruder’s recruits Davis record if better but nothing to show for it. I believe he has only won 1 game in conference tournaments

Just got spanked 8-0 5 innings

You are correct my friend, however season wise 22-34. Much better than last year but still really bad. How old record at Lamar is really bad It is going to be interesting to see if the new AD cares about all athletic programs at Lamar. If he does, then we will see Lamar looking for a new softball coach. If not we will know that he doesn’t care Hopefully he will get rid of Davis also

Yes 1-2 is better than 0-2 Either CC that is 3-1 vs the Cards this season or Nichols that is 2-1 vs the Cards Look for a 21-34 record

I totally agree with your post. You hit it right on the head with your assessment

219 in lowest runs and 233 in runs per game is not good. Again the starting pitching is not the problem, it is the bullpen that struggles when they come in. I agree with you that the hitting and runs the Cards score is not very good. I guess the real question is why can’t they play well vs weak teams You can tell me that the weak SLC is in the middle of the pack in NCAA D1, but I bet only 1 team from the SLC goes to a regional and will be seeded 3 or 4, so I don’t think the committee thinks too highly of the SLC

Wow the Cards are now 28-20, which means they will have a winning season this year. They have a season where they beat Baylor, Houston, Kansas State, Texas A&M, and TCU, but have won only 2 of 7 conference series. They have also lost to weak teams like Penn. They simply can’t find their identity this season They have 7 games left before the tournament and I look for them to win2 of those, 1 vs SFA and 1 vs HCU with a 30-25 record and either 7th in conference or 8th and sitting at home. If they had any pitching and played above the opponent level, they could win more, however they don’t do that, they play down to their opponent level

I am all for Nederland getting him. Their QB’s last year we’re about as bad as you can get!

I hope you are right. I see Altuve, and Brantley, who is the 3rd starter out. who are the 3 pitchers. McCullers was absolutely horrible in the WS last year. He is certainly not the answer. Are the other 2 the ones that just got hurt. However, the starters are not the problem, their are 2 relievers that are not getting the job done Again I hope you are right

Well they are either going to face Nichols or SEL, so their season is done. 0-2 in conference tournament

I don’t wager, but if they don’t start playing well soon, it is not going to happen As of today, they have no one hitting, not scoring many runs, and 2 or 3 relievers that are pitching poorly right now and as the season is progressing, they seem to be playing worse Baker keeps putting in this DH that is hitting about .120 and strikes out a bunch, but he keeps playing him Do not be surprised if I am right

Wow, you have runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs in a 3-2 game and you strike out looking. How poor is that A&M CC is 3-1 vs the Cards this season I guess the question is will they 0-2 or 1-2 in the conference tournament The Southland conference has to be one of the weakest conferences in the NCAA D1 to allow 20-32 Lamar to finish 4th It is time to get rid of Hooks. Her record is atrocious at Lamar

They are not going to make playoffs this season because no one is hitting the ball and keep putting in a couple of relievers that are weak

Yes I know Thank you That would simply mean season is done and unfortunately that could happen

If they are tied with HCU going into the final series and lose 2 of 3 then they can be 8th
