AAC Conference Tournament

[LawGreenie]

If we can get by Cincinnati (big if), we have a chance to win a driver's seat game for the first time since the 2008 regional in Tallahassee, where we beat Bucknell, who had upset FSU.

We haven't won a driver's seat game in conference tournament play since 2005. CUSA did "pod play" for a few years, but I don't recall our record in money games being good in that format either.

Roller, if we make it to Omaha, I’ll come pick you up and drive you there

You'd have to backtrack, so I'll meet you halfway.

Cincinnati coach mentioned as replacement for Ohio St coach that was ousted today. Maybe they will be distracted

9 AM start in what I imagine will be an almost completely empty stadium. Is the early start an advantage for the starting pitchers, hitters or irrelevant?

Their starter shut us down when we played them. We need a good start from Carmouche and to get to their starter early. Lose this game and we are done. No way do we have enough pitching to get through the losers bracket. Win and we probably still don’t have enough pitching, but at least there would be a fighting chance.

In the non sequitur of the year, with a good 50 spectators occupying a several thousand seat stadium, the AAC Tournament is sponsored by Ticketsmarter.

8-1 final. We left a ton of runners on early and they put it away by hitting home runs to left with wind blowing out. Mercifully this will be over soon and we can bring in a new coach.

It will be interesting to see how quickly the role is filled. I hope it's not until after the regionals.

[Baywave1]

I do if it means we get a D1 HC who gets his team this year into NCAAs.

With luck, he brings a current player or two with him like the Arizona guy did for LSU last year

[FW]

I doubt it will be filled until after the regionals

Who is the coach from Texas State (Sunbelt Conference). The AAC may be an attractive switch for that coach if he is any good.

Could he possibly be a good fit at TU although he may not know how to handle TU's high cost for education, ie handling scholarships?

That's Steven Trout. He has been mentioned around the forum before. He's a young (37) up and comer and a hot name on the market right now. He has a Jim Schlossnagle connection. Also played at tcu which may give him a little private school insight.

As you point out a move from Texas st to Tulane comes with some institutional challenges. He has also only been a head coach for 3 seasons one of which was the covid year. His 2021 squad wasn't very good but obviously they are killing it this year.

Justin Hill from McNeese St. is in the mix.

I just said he's in the mix not saying he should get it.

Finally put Lambert in. Minder 0-7 The only Green Wave player to not get a hit. Put literally anyone there or move some guys around the field. You will not survive playing guys for defense. You have got to get someone in the lineup who can hit regardless of their defense. Ulhman has a long way to go to be considered a HC. A long way!! I like the shakeup in the lineup, but why has he waited so long since he took over? You can really see how terrible Jewett was with the small ball Tulane did today. He didn’t play to win.

[NJwave]

Great effort today. They could have easily mailed it in, but they didn't. Banks is going to be so darn good. Hopefully it is at Tulane.

[Roller]

We play again on Friday at 1:00 (Eastern) against either ECU or Cincy.

Uhlman would need to win the national championship to be considered

I’m not sure who you are using over Minder at this point. Neither Hebert nor Morrow have hit. Lambert is hitting below .200. I’m glad he did some nice things today but it’s hard to fault Jewett or Uhlman for not using him much.

Linn, Groff and Englehard are all injured. There is no magic button for Uhlman to push. The best he can do is mix up the order of the lineup and try and generate runs. He is trying to do that.

No one said Uhlman should get it . Hell no one said he should even get consideration. Not sure what you intended with that response to what I posted.

Good to see them come back and win. Robinson pitched well last Saturday and only went 5. Time to follow it up with another good start on Friday.

Could be Johnny Wholestaff at that point. Robinson is only good for 4-5 innings so we will have to go to the pen at some point. We can hope Banks can pitch effectively, but his bat is starting to heat up and we can’t afford to take him out of the lineup.

I was agreeing with you. We are on the same page. I know I came across rather harsh in the beginning, but I had enough of Jewett. There are some folks on this forum who I have seen love Tulane baseball like I have always loved it. I’m excited to see who they choose. Hell I wish I could interview them. I guarantee I would ask all the right questions like most of you guys. We need to put together a list of Google search type questions these coaches have failed to know. I also have my own personal list of coaches I would love to see come to Tulane, but most of them love where they live and are either wanting to retire or raising young kids in a smaller town. I would rather see these young men get a coach who isn’t trying to be buddies with their players. This coaching staff you can tell are buddies with their players. These young men need a mentor who believes in them and will go to war with them, but you have to first have a coach who has been to war. Praying for a coach who is a good solid person first.
