    Was channel surfing around to several SEC games and it is just plain obvious every SEC team has players taller and bigger than us. And they have muscles! Perennially lowly BAMA, UGA, and TENN all look like bigger and better clubs than us. KY has a pitching staff that rivals their basketball team.....6'11" / 6'9" / 6'7 / 6'5" and they rip the cover off the ball with Luke Becker and Tristan Pompey. Every SEC team has at least 2 or more pitchers as good as Pilkington. We may be lucky to win 3-5 SEC games this year. This is so sad. The once great SEC program waddling in the bottom of the barrel. And Vandy lost all 3 of their games in Houston Classic where we won all 3. Go figure!

    I'm not sure what the infatuation is with some MSU fans and the height of our players is. Kentucky got ripped this weekend by Arkansas. You don't want tall middle infielders usually unless it's an exception like a Cal Ripken. Stovall and Skelton are really the only players that I would consider short for their position- and I can certainly live with a second baseman being 5'8".

    If you look up the height and weight of our players I think you would find that this is more perception than reality. And again- freshmen are not going to be as developed and filled out as another teams juniors and seniors.

    Play them anyway. Gotta see which ones are our future. This year and maybe next is already blown so it doesn't matter.

    Length doesn’t always equal power hitting. I know some tall baseball players that couldn’t hit a beach ball with a 10 foot light pole

    We should fire the whole staff. They won’t be here after this year anyways.

    Yea, I’m saying just because you’re tall doesn’t mean you can smash.

    Yeah, I followed you. Just saying acuna is little, but a power house. I watched him in Mississippi and did not think he would generate that kind of power

    Yeah, we're young and I get it but other than Mangum and Stovall we don't have

    another position player that would start for any other SEC West team. We're atleast two years away from being decent in this league.

    Now ask yourself exactly why that is.
