You just knew he'd be back for us
Our lefty ace who has been out for the most of the season came back this week and........

I think what some are forgetting is that these baseball players are people, and people sometimes have things going on outside of the games which might affect their performance in said games. And even more so in college than the pros, we the fans have no right to know their personal business.

Pete, beautifully said. Everybody on the board please understand and just give this great kid all the support you can. There is no doubt in my mind Ross will succeed. There are going to be challenges to work thru, but there are going to be games like ULL. Just pull for one of your own.

I don't think that anyone has suggested that we have the right to know the personal business of Ross. I hope nobody thinks that's what I was doing.

I don't think you or anybody else suggested that. I posted the original question asking if it was an injury, mechanics, mental or the pitching coaches fault. By mental, I meant more like not trusting his stuff and trying too hard to make the perfect pitch or like the Yips that Steve Sax, Rick Ankeil or Chuck Knobloch went through in baseball or David Duval in golf.

We are all huge Tulane fans or we wouldn't be on this board. I also get the impression that most of us are good people as well and recognize that at the end of the day it is just a game.

My answer is long enough that my wife no longer finds my love of Tulane baseball endearing. Last night she asked if Tulane sports were more important than our relationship. I think my response was something along the lines of "way to roll the double play, Colletti."
