Had a bad AD and coaching selections have not been good and because Lamar is a commuter school and hasn’t won in several years they struggle recruiting good athletes

That sounds like there is some poor coaching when a D1 college baseball team continues to commit errors. I can understand a few, but they have way too many.

They hired a coach that can’t recruit and must have a bad pitching coach. They just have not competed. They are 14-63 over the last two years.

Had a chance in the 9th with bases loaded and 1 out but couldn’t come through . Beginning to have too many errors defensively and pitching staff is weak. Today they are getting clobbered, again too many errors and poor pitching. Instead of improving as the season continues, like most teams, they have a tendency to get worse or at least not improve. In my opinion, this is a result of poor coaching.

Held on for another conference win, after overcoming some horrible relief pitching hopefully relief pitching will be better tonight

Joe wasn’t so good yesterday and his era shows it hopefully he will improve

Took a nice 3-2 lead going to the 8th, however the pitcher he put in had a big time struggle. His pitches must have looked like a slow softball coming across the plate as he got totally ripped, but another series win, and a good 5-1 start, just need to keep it up

I don’t think so, I have always wanted Lamar to win. Unfortunately in the last several years they have not in their major sports. This is the 1st time they have beat SHS since 2016, so you see my point If you look at the last 2 AD’s, they did nothing to help athletics, well Born may have helped tennis. Also, I am one not afraid to state my honest opinion.

I think they usually get a lot of football players playing baseball. This is usually a good thing, but this year’s football talent level was extremely weak, so I think it has carried over to baseball this season. They should beat PAM and BU twice and hopefully split with GP and finish 3rd or 4th

Good job Cardinals. Hope they keep it up!

Very good to know, hopefully they will continue that trend since they now in conference play

Yes you are correct A&M had a down year last year and is struggling this year, but most years A&M, TCU, TT, Baylor, Texas, and DBU are pretty good and very successful in baseball. I applaud Lamar being 11-6 and 3-0 as of now, however I do not believe that 1 win has been against a team with a winning record this year and I guess HBU recruits more talent, since they destroyed Lamar at their home, so you tell me the last time Lamar’s baseball team has made it to the regional tournament

Glad you are there supporting your son and the team and glad you want them to win. That being said, Davis’s record is not very good and his recruiting must be a factor, because the talent level is just not what it needs to be for a Division 1 school to be successful. Maybe they turn the corner this year

Another excellent post Thanks for your work on this

I am glad you are at every Lamar game supporting them. Good for you, and yes I may be too critical, however I expect more out of Nederland’s and Lamar’s programs I certainly thank you for supporting them, however it seems that you don’t care whether they win or lose, you are just happy to attend

A very good post by you and you are very correct on the all time state of Lamar athletics I simply think they should be able to compete with the ACU, SHS, SFA, Tarketon State programs but they don’t. Why? And again I agree with you always mediocre, so for me their expectations are too low

Please don’t get your feelings hurt on honest observations of the major sports teams at Lamar. We all hope that they turn things around in the near future As of now they need to hire a good AD that can help to turn things around. Your observation is that the baseball team is pretty good and I respect that, mine is that they are not very good as of today, but hopefully will get better as the season

It’s not that I don’t like Lamar, I am totally frustrated by their lousy performance in all major sports. If you look at D1 rankings, they are almost dead last in every major sport and there are almost 400 D1 colleges mentioned. Football did not win a game because the NCAA called the only win a scrimmage, the mens basketball team did not beat one D1 school, the softball team is 8-60 the last year in a quarter, Franklin has a losing record in womens basketball as well as Davis in baseball Yes I am certainly frustrated and highly disappointed with an athletic program this poor

Too many excuses about injuries and covid. Face it they were horrible. Hopefully Brooks can recruit well and turn it around

Yes their pretty good that why they gave up 21 to Northwestern last night and I am sure Sam Houston State will win at least 2 of 3 at Lamar this weekend

The Dogs better get some good transfers, because it is pretty bad at the dog house. Do not expect them to make the playoffs!

Now 4-15 and probably 4-17 after tomorrow If # 50 is the best pitcher they have it will be another long losing season

I hope they find a good one Lamar really needs to go to Division2 or 3 or NAIA, because all major sports can’t compete at Division 1 level They are playing with Division 2 or worse talent Bruder won in softball, Hooks can’t sniff a win Price teams at least played close. Brooks couldn’t win 1 Division 1 game Harmony won, this one hasn’t had a winning season yet Gilligan won, Davis’s record is poor and football is just flat awful A combination of poor recruiting and poor coaching I think the WAC is very disappointed with allowing Lamar in

If you watched them last year you will understand that post. They were BAD, especially at the positions mentioned

Every time you think Lamar Baseball has turned the corner and is finally going to have a good team they get destroyed by someone Then you realize that their 8 wins have been against some weak times and then you realize that Davis can’t get the job done
