I could give a rip about intramurals. But I think that Selmon should extend Lemonis to a lifetime contract so yall will stop bitching about him.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:

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.
