Lamar Baseball 2024

[myrecordwashorrible]

Battle of my alma matters. LU vs. UH in just a few.  Nice to see the birds with 4 games in a row against Big 12 opponents. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Winning streak comes to an end. Cards fall 6-4.  Left 11 runners on base as they out hit Houston.

OU next for a 3 game Easter weekend set starting on Thursday.

Cards knock off #25 Sooners 12-10. Ugly game with 6 combined errors.

Big win.

LU with a 13-8 win over OU. Go for the sweep of a ranked Big 12 team tomorrow!

Wait, this must be a mistake. No way this can be happening according to spidersal.

I have noticed he only posts when Lamar is losing.

Not sure there has ever been a more negative poster in the history of this site.

Negative?  He's just pessimistic,  gloomy, and cynical.  That's all. Give em hell Uncle Spidey. 

I hope even Spidersal can laugh at this one. When Lamar is able to get out of a bad situation or gets a big hit, my father and I will often look at each other and say, "take that Spidersal"  then laugh at own ignorance.

You 2 tickle me with some of your post.  Yes Lamar is playing very well right now and has 2 Hugh wins against OU. The pitching seems to be much better this season and they are scoring a bunch. The only 3 really bad games were against A&M, South Alabama and Baylor. I hope they keep it up. The key to me , will they continue playing like they are against OU or will they play down to the level of competition in the SLC. Hopefully they will win it all with a very good record and possibly get a 3 seed in the regional round

You tickle all of us with all of your posts.

One has to laugh at your posts or be miserable.

You 2 can tickle each other all you like.  😝  

I'm just here for the baseball. 

[spidersal]

I simply tell it like I see it. The good with the good and the bad with the bad. Unfortunately the Lamar athletic program and the Bulldog program has been really down the past few years. You may not like the bad post , however they are usually spot on. Call it negative if you like, but I call it reality I do appreciate y’all’s posts and keeping up with all sports

[myrecordwashorrible]

Approximately 10 minutes until game time.  A sweep would be outstanding.  Tough task, but lace em up and play ball!

[myrecordwashorrible]

Birds sweep!!  6-3 win in the finale.  

Has LU ever swept a series against a ranked opponent?  

[spidersal]

This has to go down as one of Lamar’s most impressive sweeps ever. Keep it up Cards. Lamar is playing very good baseball now!

[Extra Base Eagle]

The boys are playing good ball right now. Norman was fun, but SHSU in town Tuesday. Another big test.

Love to see the Cards playing well. At this pace we may see a Beaumont Regional that would be amazing

Would love to see that too.  HOWEVER, not only mighty early, the strength of schedule (SOS) will hurt tremendously.  Latest RPI (Boyd's World as the NCAA utilized is not updated yet to my knowledge) has LU at 41 with a SOS of 240.  The SOS won't raise much or any for the remainder of the season. SLC opponents are scattered from 120 to 230 range, thus no real bump and few strong mid week teams left. Also have TSU that is very low and Alcorn with the lowest RPI (305) in the nation. 

A 3 seed, as a 2 seed is essentially the same for tournament design purposes, would be great.  Have to agree with my Uncle Spidey on that one.

Well we have to get there first before we can get a seed. Lose the conference tournament and we will be out again. 4 out of our next 5 conference series are at home.

Not exactly. If Lamar stays hot and possibly finishes the season out as regular season conference champs and doesn’t lose a series against a bad team or lose a series at all. They will be an at large team

[myrecordwashorrible]

Birds and Kats in a midweek contest shortly.

SLC has on occasion sent 2 teams to the NCAA tourney. Long odds with the conference's present strength. However, IF LU can sustain this run, for the first time in years, midweek games may actually matter.

Yes, I base part of it on SOS and part on reputation of them and the conference.

Lamar is actually ranked 35th in the USA Today coaches poll so a few people are noticing them.

[myrecordwashorrible]

Birds flying high.  Move to 23-5 on the season with 11-3 win. Strong pitching performance.  Also, 14 hits with 8 extras base hits including a triple and 3 round trippers. 

McNeese this weekend at home.
