Watch Cann's post game interview from tonight.
He talked about how LSU was built to win the SEC and then he says "we're going to build that here too."
Edit to say- based on the interview I think he wants to kick Georgia's ass badly on Tuesday.

It's not hard to get fired up about the future:
- we have one of the best young coaches in the country
-there is no way we lose 8 arms and kick 2 players off mid season again
-we already have a solid class coming in
-we have some solid pieces to build around for next season
-we have a team that almost scrapped their way to an SEC title, who will be out to prove it wasn't a fluke
I think this is the beginning of a great run of MSU baseball.
The future is in place with this coaching staff to provide nothing but success !! It's not hard at all too see this!! Yes we're all down and upset pissed about the last 6 games but overall so far this season has be very good!! Season is not over just yet maybe this team has a run in them!! #hailstate

Most definitely got to have plenty of pitching. Getting those guys back, provided they're healthy, will make us better immediately. Be almost like having an extra class of pitchers come in.Quote:

So instead of having to break in bullpen guys...we already got experience for guys like Gordon, Barlow, Ashcraft, and even some really good signs from Parker Ford lately. Add that to Self, Price, and Rigby and you've got a lot of reliable arms and some potential starters to add to Pilk & McQuary. That's not even mentioning the injured guys returning and any instant impact newcomers.Quote:

Mangum
Gridley
Stovall
Macnamee
Vansau
Who is going to fill the rest of the lineup?
Skelton
Alexander
?
If we were at a 3.80 ERA vs 4.80, that's a 5-10 win difference. Couldn't agree more.Quote:

Who are some examples of our pitchers we have had with serious arm/elbow injuries who have returned to be bad asses?
Lots of guys return now to top form from TJ. It just takes 16-20 months is all. They should be ready to go.
Having Gridley, Stovall, and Magnum back in the middle would be huge for next year's team.Quote:

Most return in 12 months with their stuff but lack the same feel or command. That usually returns in about 20 months.
For this reason, my guess is that the majority of the TJ guys will return & help our bullpen where they can use their stuff in short stints.
