We are now #15 in rpi

[confucius say]

I really hate having 2 mid-week games now that SEC weekends have started.

Agreed. Da hell is that? Then we won't have a midweek game the whole month of May.

[confucius say]

Any idea on the time frame for Billingsley's return?

What's his injury?

It's always amazes me how the attitudes change on this board when we win.

Not with certain people, unfortunately....

After Arkansas, I was convinced we would go 0-30 in the SEC...now, 27-3 (sarcasm)

A few weeks ago:

(1) Cody wasn't hitting
(2) Cyr, our original #2 weekend starter just left the team
(3) We still had no Sunday starter
(4) Our 2nd hole hitter became a strike-out machine
(5) Columbia gave us hell and shelled billingsley
(6) could not hit La-Tech pitching and blew a late inning save
(7) 4 guys were hitting sub-Mendoza
(8) there was talk Cannizzaro was not working well with Henderson

We just swept the best college baseball team in Mississippi history, just ask them.

Our guys at the bottom of the lineup have to give us something if we're going to make a run in the postseason. Rook, Grid, Mangum are great but they cant do it every game. Lovelady played outstanding against TSUN

I think somebody said on ED earlier in the season (before the Marrero suspension) that we didn't need Lovelady. He has done a good job behind the plate, and also if they would check out his batting average, it ain't too bad.

They would probably say that the reason was because mistakes were made. ******

I think he hurt his ankle in practice. According to Cann's press conference, he should be back by the South Carolina series at the latest.

Well, apparently Ryan Cyr was the problem the entire time.**

I do think that was a turning point though. Cann put his foot down and earned the players respect. And to be honest I think suspending Mangum got their attention more than anything. They've certainly responded well since then. I watched us play in person against USM and then this week against Memphis and to me, it looks like the energy level is night and day between then and now.

It will be interesting to see how we finish out the season but I feel pretty good about where we are right now.

Amazing turn around. Keep it up!

Lovelady is sharper on defense and batting- seems he does better without the platoon shuffle.
