We got our asses beat. We only have two starters and our pen sucks. Hitters look just like they did before they got hot end of last season. Basically, we look a lot like we did before post season last year.

It happens every week in MLB and the SEC is the equivalent of MLB in terms of competitive balance.Quote:

I think swagger is the problem in this case.Quote:

The season isn't over, baseball is a game and season of up and downs, we will be in a region, last year proved anything can happen.
Funny how we hired Fox and pretty much everyone was giddy over the hire, he didn't recruit a single pitcher.
I never thought we were a top Super Regional team, so I'm not totally shocked about this past weekend.
We will hit again, probably not enough to overcome our pitching to make CWS, but in baseball who knows.
That's Baseball, I'm pretty sure we will win 40 games and have a winning record in the Sec.
Oh this weekend was brutal, can't imagine the ride home on the bus a player or Coach.
I would say settle down, let's see how the rest of the season goes, players have to make plays and Coaches have to keep the players motivated somehow.
I will just suffice to blame it all on the Thursday-Saturday series. Our players need their full week's rest and the SEC refuses to give it to us. We are 1-5 in those series with the lone win being a one run victory on a Thursday night where our fatigue at the end of the game almost did us in. We should just refuse to play any more series starting on Thursday!***
We played like shit because of the environment. Tanner Allen all but says it in Steve Robertson?s interview with him. They laid down in front of a raucous crowd which imo is why it?s important we have both the regional and super regional in Starkville.Quote:

Biggest problem we have is mental midgetry. Lack of stones from this team. History is on our side in that department but every team is different. These guys need to grow some.
We laid down at home in front of LSU too though.Quote:

Lol, I don't think I've ever seen you say anything but positive. You definitely aren't wrong, but I found it funny you getting on to our pen.Quote:

After the U of Auburn weekend, i have faith in Small, Ginn, Liebert, and sometimes in Gordon and Plumlee.Quote:

Last year, Cole Gordon got hot. He was a big key to us making Omaha. Someone is going to have to get hot out of the pen or we are in big trouble.Quote:

It was 16 but who's counting. You know, kinda like if Renardo eats 13 hamburgers. If he eats 3 more does it really make a difference.....Quote:
