Well yeah, if we come in 13th or 14th in the SEC in 2023, obviously Lemonis should be fired. That's been the case for about a year now, and tonight's result doesn't affect that statement (other than making it slightly more likely).

None of that has anything to do with doing little things right and having a good culture. This is year 5 with an experienced bunch and we dont have either of those. We have been mentally weak with this staffs own hand picked players since the Vandy series in Omaha. Staff has had plenty of time to fix this. We are the worst team in the conference for going on 2 years with the most commitment in the league. It?s unacceptable

We're looking at a Nikki situation on the baseball side IMO. We don't have a head coach with the balls to do what needs to be done. And what coach is doing a good job? Cheese's catchers suck and he hasn't recruited one here. Foxhall is shit. Gotro? He's as good as we've got. Lemonis just sits his pizza eating ass on the bucket and watches. Does he even make a decision? I don't think he does.

Wrong. This team needed that win. You put Dohm in to start the eighth if you're willing to put him in next batter. He stuck with a kid one batter too long. That tying run doesn't score without the leadoff walk. Ballgame!
But you're right on the other.

I'm not the highest paid pitching coach in the country (at one time). Check back after the season. I'm not going to say we finish in last, but we'll be bottom 3 or 4 in the SEC.

You missed where I said he hasnt brought one in. Meaning we've got no one right now. He's not recruited to replace LoTan. His FR catcher is struggling back there. His experienced one isn't good. Doesn't even have a backup really. This staff pissed away some great years in our program recruiting wise.

I didnt challenge this- I challenged where you said his catchers suck - his catcher last year and the year before didn't. And Of course his freshman catcher is going to struggle at times. Talk about unrealistic

Let me sum tonight up.

We lost because our freshmen who are talented played like freshmen playing their first SEC game on the road.

Loo gave up four in the first and then settled down like normal. To me, that technically is where we "lost" the game IMO. Take away that inning and we win 5-1.

Now extra innings- Highfill has to block that pitch. He knows a slider is coming. HAS TO keep it in front of him. Can't remember if he was on one knee or not but no catcher should be on one knee in that spot. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. Next year- that's something that Highfill will be better at.

Well....let's talk about reality here.

The only way I see Lemonis fired and we clean house is if we have a losing season again. Personally I think we will have a winning season barring unforeseen injuries like last year.

If we have a winning season and miss the postseason- then I think we fire Foxhall. Gautreau could very well end up at Tulane next year- they are awful this year. 3-14 awful. I wouldn't be surprised if they go in a different direction.

Make a regional but go no further- we may make some changes depending on how certain position groups perform.

SR or better then staff stays intact barring a coach getting a head coaching job.

Despite tonight the team is playing better. If I had to guess we probably at the very least have a winning season and probably at least make a regional. We have enough pitching to make a run IMO.

Decisions like that are why Foxhall is on the hot seat. At least part of the reason for that.

He was on one knee I pointed that out in game thread and that's a huge no-no for me with runners on base. It prevents you from moving quick enough to block.

Guess it's just coaching pitchers and catchers for so many years that i constantly watch em both to see what they're doing right and wrong lol. Just habit at this point in my life lol. I taught my catchers they could only go down to one knee with less than 2 strikes and no runners on. 2 strikes you gotta be ready to block and with runners on as well. It's become a bad habit in the last decade or so, going down to one knee

It's the new trend and has to do with the angle at which a catcher receives a pitch, the thought being it helps you steal a few strikes. I'm not a fan.

We also don't present a target for our pitchers. We flash our mitt here and there, but dont hold a target. It's sloppy.

You are right we are sloppy behind the plate. We don't get set and most of the time catchers still moving when the pitcher is delivering. Umps hate catchers that don't get set quick and it will cost you strikes like it has us. I'm not a fan of the trend of one knee at all. Fine with less than two strikes and no runners on but I've seen to many passed balls and pitches not blocked over the years by this. You just can't block a ball from one knee especially if it's to the opposite side, it's almost impossible to get there.

I agree, but it’s the thing now. Watch other games and he’ll even the WBC. All catchers are doing it. The video I saw the other day said they are being taught now that runners don’t matter as much as stealing strikes. Walks are up, stolen bags are up, throw outs are way down…

Correct. The analytics say that stealing 3-5 strikes a game is more valuable than throwing runners out.
Personally, I think it's lazy.
Also, with the mew zone in college ball, stealing strikes is not as prevalent anymore.

As a ump that?s total bs. You are more likely to get a strike call on a marginal pitch if the catch only flashes his mitt. Why you ask, because most umps get in the habit of seeing the mitt move and call it a ball. Also the catch going to a knee makes it easier for the ump to see the bottom of the zone. You can steal pitches on the bottom side of the zone this way.

We got outbid for two studs.

My advice as a fellow MSU fan, do not accept this excuse. "Sorry this is your (you fans) fault"

LSU got those two studs, not Kentucky, not Ohio State, or VMI.

Plus, we not talking MSU ranking 15th in the nation and wondering why the team is not top-5. We are talking about scraping enough wins for Hoover. We are talking about a tournament that until recently, we considered irrelevant and a warm up for regionals.

Yes, season has to play out and maybe the optimist like TNDawg will look like geniuses. I will gladly eat crow.

If we make the SEC tourney and a regional then I could at least tolerate giving the staff another year as is but right now I'm not confident in that. To make a regional we will need at least 14 SEC wins with our inexcusable OOC losses. 14-16 in the SEC for this team is a pretty lofty goal. I see the odds on that as somewhere south of 50-50.

Everyone that says baseball is a marathon not a sprint is right, and those who say that things can turn on a dime are also correct, but trends also matter especially so in baseball and we have been trending in the wrong direction for quite sometime now. Last year was awful and this season so far is the same tune next verse. This program is not in a healthy place and if this current iteration of it wins double digit games in the league this season it will be an accomplishment. I?m not sure if this team is worse or better than the sum of its parts, there is so much propaganda getting pushed to sell tickets and premium seats you don?t know what to believe. I find believing is easy and knowing is hard. Guess we?re beginning to see the truth of it.

Plus amateur pitchers usually are not good enough to hit a spot without a target.
Bianco is the best catcher coach in college baseball. Watch his catchers. They do the one knee think too but have a big open target right up until the pitch is thrown. They hold a target a good 3 seconds. We do it .5 seconds.

Exactly right on all points. I don't like om but bianco is actually a pretty good guy. My youngest son is working at a baseball training facility and is the pitching coordinator(the guy that owns it is an om guy who is in the Phillies organization). My kids talked with bianco a couple times and bianco just sent him one of the official team jackets lol. Don't worry he ain't switching allegiances and we NeVER will be anything but Dawgs in our family but was a nice gesture by Mike.

That is awesome 24! Best of luck to your son. If I had a son I would want you to Coach him up. LOL.

Plus amateur pitchers usually are not good enough to hit a spot without a target.
Bianco is the best catcher coach in college baseball. Watch his catchers. They do the one knee think too but have a big open target right up until the pitch is thrown. They hold a target a good 3 seconds. We do it .5 seconds.

People forget it's a dual position. The pitcher and Catcher must always be on the same page/ Remember Maddux always had his own catcher.

Thank you, Base! Means a lot coming from you! There's people that know way more than me, in fact I think I'm becoming a dinosaur. Appreciate you and always respect everything you say!

My Dad was a huge baseball guy, although he only coached mainly little league, he coached same team close to 20 years. Won lots of games, his secret was the “old” NIL rule. He would go after the Dad of a player who was coming in the league to help him coach. LOL, worked a lot.

Exactly right on all points. I don't like om but bianco is actually a pretty good guy. My youngest son is working at a baseball training facility and is the pitching coordinator(the guy that owns it is an om guy who is in the Phillies organization). My kids talked with bianco a couple times and bianco just sent him one of the official team jackets lol. Don't worry he ain't switching allegiances and we NeVER will be anything but Dawgs in our family but was a nice gesture by Mike. My kid just got offered a GA spot at ull for next year to if he wants it. He's a sharp kid, been rehabbing his torn labrum and I'm hoping he gives college ball one more shot but I think he may be done.

Lifting him up in prayer- Good luck to your boy and his recovery

Trainer at the facility just hung his spikes up after his 2nd UCL tear - was pitching lights out last summer in Indy ball when it happened too

Two kids I know (2027 and 2025) just had theirs repaired by Dugas in Birmingham - both catch and pitch

Thank you so much! I appreciate that. I almost wished he had a ucl those can be fixed pretty easy but this labrum thing is a bear to overcome. He was rolling in summer ball and in the fall at Gulf Coast then he tore it and tried to come back to soon in spring and it just kept biting him and he just got tired of being in pain. So he's taken year off trying to get back but he's really gotten into training and teaching at this place and he's enjoying a lot and making good money so he may have found his future. Plus he's working with some really elite guys and networking with some serious coaches and making a ton of contacts.

Those 2 young men you talked about getting surgery got it done by a good one. Prayers for their recovery.

My apologies for rambling so much, didn't mean to ruin the thread.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
