The information that I have always received is that Davis refuses to let his assistants coach. The pitching coach may be a good one, but if the head coach tries to do everything himself it doesn’t matter Lamar needs to get rid of Davis, even if you have to buy his contract out and please get rid of Hooks also

It didn’t take the Cardinals long to head back home Another 0-2 conference tournament showing under Davis tenure 4 errors and poor hitting again Davis coached teams are now 1-8 in conference tournaments. His coaching record at Lamar is poor also It is time for Lamar to send Davis and Hooks packing. It should be obvious that they can’t get the job done

Well it looks like Lamar made a safe trip to Lake Charles, however someone forget to load the bats. The pitching was actually pretty good except for the starter, but the hitting stumbled As usual Davis teams are now 1-7 in conference tournament play and I look for them to be 1-8 after tomorrow and headed home for the summer The interesting question is will the new AD make changes in the baseball and softball programs or will they keep Davis and Hooks and continue to settle for poor performing programs

I will only complain if they lose 2 straight. I believe since Davis has been at Lamar they have only won 1 tournament game

Doesn’t matter, basically same coaching staff, so anywhere from 2-8 to 5-5. This is not hating, just truth and reality

It’s working

I agree with you. I don’t like the idea of the tournament winner outcome either. You play all of those conference games and determine the regional qualifier with just a few tournament games. IMO, the conference champion should get the bid and do away with the tournament ( at least on all the conferences that only get 1 team to regionals)

Oh thanks, I was thinking that it was Northwestern that Lamar had won the 1st series

Looks like. 4 seed New Orleans won the series vs Lamar and that is only 2 teams at 13-11

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
