We needed a sweep to make up for FL. They are not very good. But I guess that says something about us too.

Our bullpen cost us the game….once again…..for the 3rd straight year. We have no alphas. We have a bunch of front runners. We have no one with the balls to demand the ball in crunch time.

Where was the clutch from the big boys tonight? Non-existent. Hines with runners on- zippo! With nobody on 1st at bat or the game - K. Last at bat of the game solo HR. In between. Leaves a small village on the base paths.
Jordan will play in the big leagues even though he is a strike out machine. Hines might get to Double A. Then he will be playing American Legion ball until he is 45 like his old man!

You can be pissed about our hitters all you want, and you have every right to be. But we had a 7-3 lead in the 8th. This is once again on the piss poor bullpen. Just like it has been most games the last 2 and a half years.

Lemonis can't recruit. That's the problem

I do think they win the series tomorrow. State had a chance to bury them and proved "scrappy bunch" only goes so far.

We literally lose at least one game like this a weekend.

Don?t disagree about pen being not good but he?s got to block those 2 balls - weren?t even tough balls to block

The whole team is at fault here. Multiple innings with bases loaded and can't hang big crooked numbers. Leading 7-3 in the bottom of the 8th and pitching gives up 4 runs. Jordan dropped a ball he should've caught. We let the leadoff guy on from the 8th innning on. Long can't block. Larry fumbles away the last out. Stevens had a double play ball hit to him and he pulls Mershon off line. I mean all around pitiful effort.
And if the whole team is at fault it points back to the man in charge. How anyone want to keep Lemonis at this point I don't get. Who cares if we make a regional. It's clear he doesn't get the most out of his team

If we make one final play at 2nd in bottom of 10th or 11th we win the game.

Lemonis is 25-49 since we lost the previous staff's players. Lemonis is AIDS

The best thing that can happen to our program is ridding ourselves of lemonis.

No. He can't coach. Who puts a random freshman at DH to start a rivalry game? Leaves pitchers in too long- leaving Schuelke in too long with an umpire that couldn't see his pitches- whose fault is that? Why is Larry still leading off? NONE of that is on the players or their abilities. The coach is there for a reason to push the right buttons. Lemonis literally sits there and just lets whatever play out.
And I got the sense after last night he got cocky and was like "oh they'll figure it out because we almost always beat them." Well that attitude gets you beat. Starts at the top down.

Dude I get your mad, but he has recruited some damn studs. Bednar was the alpha of alphas and he recruited him. Dakota Jordan is an insane talent. He found Stephen in the portal. I hate Lemonis more than anyone on this board, you yourself have said I go overboard with it, but to call him out for recruiting is the wrong lane completely. Call him out for his game management fine, but recruiting is the one thing you cannot call him out on.

He can't do anything. He's a weight around our necks... he's pulling us down. I'm fine with losing out if it gets rid of the problem - lemonis

And don't get me started on Jordan and Hines taking donkey hacks with two strikes when all they have to do is put the bat on the ball. Neither one of them hit enough home runs to offset their strikeouts to make it worth it.
And the hitting coach does nothing to even try to change it.
