We are 4 games into the season. We need to let it play out.
Here is the truth.
Vandy and Wake Forest both lost to Austin Peay like teams last night. Does it mean they are terrible? No. It is the same for us. We lost, but it is obvious we are improved in a lot of areas.
On the other side of the coin, though, we HAVE to be concerned because of the last two years. You cannot have those type of seasons, lose a game like this, and act like it does not matter. It does.
Can we still have a great season? 100%. Do I think we are better? Yes. Does losing this game cause heartburn and doubt? Yes, it absolutely does.
We shall see.
It is also how you lose. One pitcher having the game of his life and holding us to two runs (it happens). Two separate pitching staffs that are nowhere close to SEC caliber, very worrisome.
Pitching seems like it is going to be back to at least acceptable if not good. Shitty hitting when facing shitty pitching and we have problems. I don't care if we have 3 starters out, our backups should still be good enough to rake a shitty pitcher. That doesn't even talk about the Little League base running.
hey, i like ludacris*************
You folks melting over the loss last night is pathetic its the same people over and over too which is even more pathetic
More truth. Vandy and Wake Forest finished in the Top 20 last year, buying them a couple of mid-week losses here and there. The past 2 seasons, State finished 14 and 13 in the SEC, buying Lemonis ZERO grace period for unacceptable losses and poorly prepared lineups and no discernible improvement in the portal.
Lemon gets the same leeway Vandy and Wake does. It's about where you finish this year- period. If we lose in a Regional final to someone in June he will likely return. That's what all this boils down to. Get it done or we will make a change. His job wont be decided until May at the earliest
This putting us another full year behind in our recovery while going in to 2025 which we all know has the possibility of being a complete rebuild due the draft picks from this team that you assure us we have. And if they are smart they will definitely sign even if they are 15th round or later so they can get proper training and improvement after suffering under Lemonis staff for 3 years.
Friend made 800k/yr at TN. They ran him out of town, he took a paycut to $700k at SC, and then his buddie Bobo hired him at Auburn for 700k. Auburn ran him out of town, and he took our job for 475k. Now he's the OC and OL coach at WKU. Sounds like a real up and up career path for him
