Yep, we gotta take it one game at a time, we aren't consistent enough yet to look ahead, but "we" fans can* LOL. Gonna be a tough series this weekend, but first Memphis Tuesday.

Auburn is a really bad team, as far as lacking the pitchers, and a few hitters they typically have.
Glad we got the sweep.
Really need at least 1 win v. vandy this weekend
We have 2 starting pitchers. After that, not much. We won two close games against a terrible auburn team. C'mon guys.
Crazier things have happened. In 2022, Ole Miss was 22-17/6-12 (SEC) at this point in the season coming off losing a series to us in Oxford. They then lost 2 of 3 to Arkansas and entered May 7-14 in SEC play.
Then they somehow worked their way in as the last seed in and won a Natty. The gods of baseball have a weird sense of humor.
Whoa there big boy! I really like the toughness of this team but they have a bunch of holes in them.
Positivity is not welcome here. We may have be the only fanbase in America that openly roots for failure by our sports teams.
We just need to take this thing one game at a time. We still have glaring issues, i.e. 3rd starter and closer, and we make FAR too many baserunning mistakes for a team with Omaha aspirations. Nice to see us win a couple of close games this weekend. Hopefully Hardin is starting to solidify himself in the closer role
We actually have a good team for a 3 game series. We get into a Regional and we just need to stay in the winners bracket and we will have a chance.
You just pissed off the dead indians. Quick, someone sacrifice a goat or something!
Let people enjoy, dude. Let them soar.

I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar"

We are improving that's for sure. Which are we? The team that swept a putrid AU squad or the one that lost 2 of 3 from a lousy OM team? We've been impressive in a bunch of wins and totally listless in many, many losses. No DH, crappy bullpen, 3-4 ok hitters and clueless little leaguers running the bases. Our SP and D seem to be pretty dang good though. Who knows, and I hope you're right... but I'm missing the IT factor.
What, like as a guest or something?
And had we played two 9 inning games it might be different too. Sometimes you need a break and we got it. I'll keep saying this is a regional team but I don't see anything beyond that unless we catch fire. The hitting has been disappointing, the pitching hasn't been other than no closer.
I think we may have found the closer. As we saw in 2021 you can go deep in the postseason with two starters especially if one is a true ace and a legit closer.
I'm not saying we are going to Omaha. But if we play really well against Vandy and win the series or sweep all of a sudden we're in good shape to be a 2 seed and maybe even steal a host bid with a strong finish and no hiccups along the way.
Have to beat Memphis first though.
