Yep agree with you on all that!

That one had to sting his ass. And then he said, the loss was a kick in the nuts right in front of her to the guy reporter! Fun times in Nashvegas!

I thought the interview was hilarious! He was mad as he could be and yeah his answers had extreme snarkiness and condescension in them! It was fun to watch him suffer!

Why they threw a fastball down "Broadway" was dumb. I was thinking when Hunter came to the plate, he wouldn't see anything good to hit. Everyone knows to throw braking balls off the plate to him except Vandy. What a bomb!

I hate to say that I enjoyed watching the pain in his face and the distain for the one female that kept asking him questions..... hahaha Gold!

If we host I think Lemo has earned his stay and I will be perfectly fine with that. I just do think there?s some question marks about his coaching. Maybe he?s learned his lesson and going forward things will be great. That?s what l hope for anyways. I love the dawgs.

If he had to do it over, he'd do the same thing. Hines' splits vs Lefties are terrible, but he got one. We've been on the wrong side of too many "That's baseball" moments for the last two years. About time we get on the right side of one.

We're 12-9 and realistically should be no worse than 15-6. We're in a good spot to host, right now, but had we taken care of business against Florida and OM we'd be fighting for a national seed. I was confident we'd found a closer until Hardin scared me on Saturday. He got right again yesterday. If we can keep him where he is and keep ramping up Ligon, our backend could be night and day from where it was a month ago.

Right. He struggles with lefty breaking balls no reason to throw him anything else! Glad they did though lol!

I think it's safe to say Lemonis is back next year for sure now, sans a MAJOR meltdown from here out. Can't complain, he's earned it. Is that best for us long term? Meh, I still have doubts, but it will play out. No use worrying about it at this point. Best thing is to just hope we win every game we play, as always, and enjoy it.
