    You cant put a certain numbers of wins out there and say floor.

    The standard at State in baseball is make the NCAA's with the expectation of advancement to a Super or better more often than not.

    Lemon is on his 3rd strike.

    Since we have trouble beating these crappy teams, we won't be winning 14 SEC games. No different than basketball right now. Go ahead and make other plans for that first round weekend.

    All games matter, maybe that has been our problem the last couple of years.

    Just ironic that Lemonis put together this crap schedule hoping to stack wins but it may end up costing him his job.
    Wouldn't matter if we went undefeated in OOC play. His fate was always tied to SEC play.

    3 sec teams have an rpi outside the top 75: OM, mizzou, and us. Anyone think someone makes the tourney in this group of 3?

    Our pitching gives us a chance. Got to scratch and claw for runs. Plus- we are pretty good defensively- .978 fielding (.964 last year)

    Winning 14 SEC games is going to be tough, but it is what it will take to make a regional. I just hope if Lemo is let go we still find a way to keep Parker. The improvement he has made with our pitching is remarkable

    Polk was 7-7 going into the SEC his last year before going 9-21 in the SEC. I wonder what the floor is. I feel like the National Championship goodwill is all used up.

    Not sure if squeaking into a Regional as a 3 seed is truly enough, especially if we get run ruled like last year.

    This has been brought up by T&L and other entertainment outlets.

    Think someone posted their RPI is 140 to our 177. Does this mean we are underdogs at home?****

    This makes no sense.

    I agreed he should get a 3rd year. I also have agreed he should be fired if he doesnt get the job done.

    It's been funny to me to see fans criticize those that said that he would come back and should come back- which we were correct about- get also criticized because Lemonis isn't performing up to standard. When the entire stance the whole time was that year three would tell the tale. Just because we won a National Championship it doesn't mean we should act like Texas A&M football.

    If we win 13 SEC games we're likely getting in. And I still say that 12 gets us on the bubble and very likely in. Our RPI will self correct from SEC wins.

    Here are the current RPI's of our SEC opponents- 29, 9, 15, 14, 107 (Ole Miss which will easily go up), 70, 92, 8, 1, and 202 (Mizzou).

    And then OOC right now we have top 100 South Alabama at a neutral site, Samford on the road, Central Arkansas, and 107 Ole Miss which as I said should be 100 easily by the time we play them. And sure some of those teams RPI's will fluctuate but at the same time it's also likely that someone like Austin Peay and Georgia Southern will fluctuate too.

    But again- it comes down to SEC wins.

    First off, times have changed, coaches now day are paid to win now, second, we built a very expensive stadium and I expect to win, thirdly, most don't care about rpi, it is all about winning. So in saying this, he is getting third year, it's kinda iffy if he makes a 4th year. Msu has finally stepped up like a SEC program when it comes to firing coaches before contract ends, LOL.
    I hope Lemonis wins big, we host a region and win it. There is no excuse our program has been last and next to last in the Sec in baseball. I expect more from our Baseball program, I'm not use to seeing us lose and not make sec or regionals.

    We fired JoMo after 2 bowl seasons because it was obvious the program was trending down.

    We fired Arnett after 1 because it was obvious the program was trending down.

    But Lemo can miss Hoover in back to back seasons and we keep him because he "deserves" another chance? What? He should have been gone for the same reasons JoMo and Arnett were fired; they just aren't likely to perform at the level we want moving forward
