    Not ranked in baseball America or d1

    Without that number by our name and #49 in rpi, I don't see much of an argument for postseason play.

    Realistically you have to go 6-3 in your next 9 SEC games. If that seems impossible it is because it basically is with what we currently put out on the field.

    We aren't very good, but we could still sneak into the tournament. We've lost a ton of games that could have gone either way. I actually thought we were about to go on a run, but obviously that didn't happen. We just might find a way to win enough to be a bubble team then win a couple in the SEC tournament.

    Regardless, barring a miracle deep run into postseason, it's time for a change.

    I think it is time for a change regardless. We need a new voice. Lemonis tenure has run its course.

    I’m sure we will put off announcing a head coach search and letting him go. We will let it linger on until the baseball program is a smoldering ruin and then decide to do something for the cheap in true Mississippi State fashion.

    Have you seen us play in the SEC tournament with Lemonis? I have just as much faith for us to win an SEC tournament game as I do a wet fart in church on Easter Sunday

    I don't think that fits Selmons personally. We will see though.

    We don't deserve to be ranked. Realistically, we had a great chance to win each and every SEC series we have played so far, but we've found a way to lose 3 of them.

    Good.

    Rankings are a curse for every major MSU sport except the Vic Shaeffer led WBB years.

    What time do they announce the bracket today on who made the NCAA Tourney?

    What time did they announce it last month when you were beating your chest over the LSU series win?

    Sure, they can suddenly become a new team, but as of now, they aren't a tourney team. Not sure that's controversial.

    Sweep Auburn and we are back to 10-8 and right no path. Even 2/3 puts us 9-9 and still on path to make the Tourney. I hate we lost the series but we were in control of it until the B8th of G2.

    Nothing's changed. Got to take the home series and hopefully get a shot to sweep

    Here is the other thing, even if they are a tournament team is Lemonis back next year? I just do not see it.

    Idk, maybe. The only thing on our resume that looked tourney worthy was a winning sec record and being ranked. Now both of those are gone, and our rpi is even lower. I will admit to not knowing a whole lot about baseball tourney selection, so perhaps someone could give me an example of a team in our spot that made it.

    My word I thought you'd still be racking your brain try I g to think of ways to say you were wrong on this team, I didn't think you'd double down on "there's still a chance!" Lol. But fair enough I guess, there's certainly still a possibility we get into a regional. We won't be in the host conversation as you've been saying, but we might make a regional.

    But again, the "standard" is higher than "barely make a regional". It should be "be a top 15ish team and in the host discussion". He has epically failed that the past 2 seasons. If he even slightly fails this season, he should be gone.

    That is scary then. Because it is entirely possible he makes the tourney. I mean we were legitimately two more wins against A&M and probably one in Hoover from being last year. And we led one of those A&M games in the 9th. This team is considerably better than that team. If you wanted him fired Saturday then why would you not still want him fired then.
