My guess is Siary will get the start. You still have Davis, Hardin, maybe Ligon, and maybe Stevens who can go tomorrow. You also have Loftin if he is healthyQuote:

So you?re saying we?re not good..Quote:

Nolan Stevens, Mikhai Grant, Dylan Cupp, and Highfill are not a bad nucleus to build around. You also will have Chance coming back as well as Downs. I mean if you fire Lemonis who is going to turn it around? All those kids will leave and you are in an even worse situation. It is a double edged sword.Quote:

We will see. If they beat us, oh well. The stupid streak had to end some time. We do not need to let one series define our season, which we have done the last two seasons. We need to focus on stacking wins. Tomorrow is just the next opportunity to do that.Quote:

Yeah, they're great.Quote:

With a loss tomorrow, I see no better then 7-9 SEC rest if way. I see 7 -8 the last 15. With no sweeps by State losing 5 of 6 to Vandy and Arkansas. So I see 3 more series wins unless State wins tomorrow. A win tomorrow gives us a shot at 15-15 SEC which would definitely be top half of the league. A loss tomorrow could also start a tailspin.
All I see is you rooting for us to lose, which you are doing. I understand the frustration, but tomorrow is a new day. If we win awesome and if we lose it is not the end of the damn world. People are paid a bunch of money to make the decision on Lemonis. When the time comes that decision will be made.Quote:

At least how I would roll a lineup out for tomorrow
He should have been. Do you think a good coach would be clinking along making bad decision after bad decision?Quote:

If it were true, McKenzie woulda got the start tonight. It isn't trueQuote:

I do believe that a 2 seed will save him because I do not think Selmon cares about baseball, and since it is not a revenue producing sport I cannot really blame him. When baseball can give him an 8 figure check every year then he will start caring a lot more.Quote:

Maybe you are right. We think every coach is always going to bring in transfers and in baseball transfers are even more of a crapshoot than the other sports. I do agree that next year is a down year though. Like I said, I am not arguing with anyone Lemonis should be fired. I have wanted him fired for two years.Quote:

Maybe not in the grand scheme of things but to the majority of the Fanbase, tomorrow just became a Must Win!
#45 in rpi. Only lsu and Missouri are worse.
We'll see what the baseball shareholders have to say and how they feel. We're going to just have to let it play out regardless obviously.Quote:

We're not playing UAB. That game got cancelled. And Alcorn and North Alabama might be cancelled too. North Alabama certainly will. We'll probably play Alcorn because they're an in state school.Quote:

Tomorrow does not need to be treated any differently than a Sunday against any other team.Quote:

So Baseball better get right real quick or Selmon's tenure will be a short one.Quote:
