Benefactor
Do you think it's time to let him go?
No coach is perfect. They make mistakes. Let's keep it real. We went on the road against #5 and got a win. Yes we had a great opportunity to win the series and we failed. But we're still on track. Keep the faith.
He is a good coach with a good career.
But he better learn quickly the SEC is next level. With the games on the line this weekend ? He went 0-2. He got lucky in G2 with a blowout,
Well, at this point, if we are in a competitive game with a good team I expect us to lose. We are currently 0-4 in those situations. Just being honest, going into the 8th with the game still tied and our offense sputtering, I had very little hope of winning.Quote:

This is maybe the worst take of the day. He got lucky in G2? If that's the case, he must have been unlucky the other 2. Pretty sure he knows the SEC is next level since he won a natty against them but whatever.Quote:

I?m not around the team every day like the coaches are so maybe there are good reasons for the moves they make; I?m giving them the benefit of the doubt.
BUT, if Foster and at least 2 of the freshmen don?t figure it out real quick, we are going to limp into a regional (hopefully). Forget hosting.
Our relief pitching is a major disappointment at this point.
Agree with this, and our offense was a major disappointment this weekend. I know Arkansas has an outstanding pitching staff but scoring 4 and 3 runs in 2 of the 3 games was hugely disappointing given we are supposed to have a Top 5 offense in the country.Quote:

At the end of the day, we've blown 4/5 games against elite teams, but ALL of them were tight and winnable. I mean a ground rule double cost us one of those, bad luck is a bit at play here. We are still messing with the lineups and pitching roles, but once those get set I think the team will gel better and be able to get in a rhythm. Hard to succeed when guys are being shoved in a new situation and think "oh crap this is an audition I need to shine" instead of confidently playing the role they've already proven they can.
I think there's a lot of room for improvement, and I'm optimistic we'll get there. Where the ceiling though I can't say, depends on catcher and relief arms
I think you bring up a great point about guys trying to prove themselves when getting their opportunity. I think thats one of the reasons our offense struggled this weekend. First SEC series, high expectations, the 6+ runs scored record, not beating Arkansas in 8 years, etc. Our guys read the internet too. First series is behind us and we took 1. Hopefully we get the lineup locked down and they can relax and just play the game.Quote:

This is definitely a C34 burner account.Quote:

Its posts like this that epitomizes how insanely irrational, emotionally unstable, and clueless our fanbase really is. Truly remarkable.
Much truth in this statement there is.Quote:
