Amazing that has gone away. I wonder why?
Amazing that has gone away. I wonder why?
At least we don't have to put up with Rocky for at least a week
We beat them last year too, and sucked. Careful speaking too soon, it's a long season. I'm sure he'll do just enough to keep his job while we still suck. Hope I'm wrong. Liked what I saw this weekend. Didn't like the shitty losses we already have to bad teams this year.
lord let the season play out before you get a rotator cuff injury patting yourself on the back. by the way you predicted we would go 1-2 this weekend!
I'll still be surprised if he's still our coach come June. But willing to let it play out, unlike you. I'm also basing my thoughts on the last 2.5 years as a whole, instead of just one series. But, hey, we won the series against LSU and looked darn good doing it. I'm enjoying it. I just do it differently than you. If this is what makes you happy, knock yourself out!
Maybe he gets his a steady stream of his own players in and we move past the last 2.5 years and get back to being a respectable program. I would like nothing more. But the 2022 and 2023 seasons will never be erased. They happened, and he owns them forever.
lol- I've bookmarked the threads. Should be a fun SpringQuote:

I hope State goes to Omaha and we still fire his brain farting ass! That crap today when neither coach had a clue while Cijntge was walking 5 straight batters to get us in a tie game was epic mental retardation! The hitters bailed his bucket butt out!
He walked 5 straight? HmmQuote:

But he don’t own 19 and 21? Got itQuote:

If he has more weekends like this one the only way he won't be here next year is if he decides to leave on his own. Which would surprise me. But then again Pat McMahon surprised me too so I guess anything is possible.Quote:

As I said last week some fans are going to find out that pitching and defense can win you a lot of baseball games. Now we're adding offense to it and we're kicking LSU's ass.Quote:

To be fair, he was almost out of the inning and had been cruising prior. Not an excuse, but I can see why they weren't prepared. The ump did us no favors, if they didn't shrink the strike zone he is out of the inning with no damage.Quote:

To me if anything, it is more a reflection of Parker and what he has done so far with the pitching staff, and not Lemonis.
Our pitchers putting up zeros in the run column, take pressure off our hitters also.
The more we succeed this year, to me, the more Parker seems to be the guy.
I have not posted on here before now either way about Lemonis. But all we can say right now is he finally had to pull the trigger and hire a good pitching coach.
Oh wow, you bookmarked them?! Dang, you are so awesome!!!! Wow, a bookmark!Quote:

I mean, if this is what makes your Spring "fun", then maybe you should reevaluate your priorities in life.
Didn't say that.Quote:

If we actually got real confidence back against LSU, we will be fine.
Exactly. I like what Cohen said one time. He said you really need at least 7 reliable pitchers. 3 weekend starters, a midweek/swing starter, a closer, a set-up guy and a relief ace. That's probably a minimum and with the potential for injuries you really can't have enough pitching.Quote:

We've had some rough games on offense but relative to the rest of the SEC we're better than most other than in home runs.Quote:

And on defense we are fourth in the SEC in fielding percentage.
It's possible. A&M has a staff ERA under 3 and they have 6 shutouts as a staff on the season already. They also have two absolutely elite hitters that can take over a game.Quote:

This was dead bat time, so even decent guys with +4 ERA where liabilities, like +7 ERAs today.
Even in 2016, that had the best starting Corp in recent memory, the Bullpen was not the best. Humphries closing was stressful as hell.
