Troy Caupain needs to decide once and for all that's he's done losing. We've lost 22 times in the last 2 years. That's is a ton of losses, especially for an AAC team. I know it would drive Bulldog nuts when Caupain would smile after making critical mistakes. To me, it's a sign of immaturity. Hopefully with his career dwindling down, we see a more cold-blooded, methodical leader in Caupain. We saw it more towards the end of the year, but he has to play with those kind of guts in every game. And he needs to demand it from his teammates as well.
I think we might see Kyle Washington as this kind of leader as well. He doesn't seem like he's messing around. |

Yes Waite. I am. Show me a guy who smiles, and I'll show you a guy who loses. It's about the level of intensity and confidence. The only time he should be smiling on the court is when he clinches a conference title. I'd be willing to bet that Evans and Washington won't smile a single time after a mistake.

But to judge someone based on how they react to situations you have never been in is something i tend to try and not do. Since, I cannot say how I would react in a situation I have never been in, nor never will be in Not to mention, why nit pick the best player on the team? Not saying Caupain will ever be the Joey Votto, but thats like saying Joey should never smile after a strikeout, you would never see Jay Bruce do that. People react to situations differently, it really has no effect on how they play, and really doesnt mean anything. Sometimes they smile because they didnt like the call, sometimes they smile because it was a great pitch, sometimes they break their bat, sometimes they chest bump an umpire.

Really, is this what we've got to argue about now? Different people react to things differently, who knows what is in his head. Who cares what his face shows, what is important is what he does going forward, and learning from the situation.

I'm not saying he thinks mistakes are okay. I'm saying it shows a lack of confidence/swagger/whatever you want to call it. A Bearcat senior leader needs to be an a**hole on the court. Excuse my language, but that's just how I see it. I know Caupain has an outgoing personality and is a good kid. I'd just like to see the late-season mean streak all the time. |
