Plus, this is pretty sorry if true.
Skenes would not have gotten us to Omaha. You still have to win more than 1 game a weekend. He would have made our Team ERA close to what LSU's was this year, but we'd still be 9 spots worse than them in scoring (#1 vs #10) and worse on D. We wouldn't not have scored more runs than we gave up earned runs in SEC play, as an example. We would have made the tournament and probably hosted but wouldn't have been able to go anywhere with itQuote:

Amazing how much better our offense would have been when our guys could actually bay not down 10 runs in the 3rd…Quote:

I'm not seeing why we'd have a better ERA than them this season
That's a theory. I can flip it around and say our opponents would have thrown better pitchers later in the games if the score was closer, therefore our hitting often faced weaker pitching than SEC average.Quote:

We may not. I was talking about getting to Omaha. We absolutely would have had a shot at Omaha with Skenes and Cade in a regional and super regional formatQuote:

I'll be surprised if this gets worked out. Kid is getting hit from too many sides.
You mean gets worked out for us or he works his ass somewhere else?Quote:

It stinks because the dude is mega-talented, but in the world in which we find ourselves, some dudes are just going to do this.
He and Alford are best friends. May just be testing the waters. Could follow him to UGA.
Good thing we held on to Lemonis so that our good players wouldn't transfer!
Lemonis has turned this program into dog shit in two years. But at least Big E can still drive his ass around.
If Lemonis can't sign big portal guys, his ass is over. Our administration & baseball cigar boys 17d up too.
We do less with more under Lemonis.
