People do not understand this point at all when they're wondering why some players are kept and others are not. It's why the NCAA rules are terrible- they not only barely give college baseball anything- but they also tell colleges how to spend what little they have. And if we cut a scholarship player we lose that scholarship money for the year. And correct me if I am wrong- I believe the NCAA will not allow a scholarship player to be cut based on performance in any sport. If I recall and am understanding correctly that was part of the reason why Alabama fired Greg Goff- he threatened to cut guys that were on scholarship for them in team meetings.Quote:

Also- we need to stop pitching Leibelt. He has gotten more chances than anyone it seems like so far this year and has not had a solid outing yet other than Jackson State.
Even though Preacher was wrong about who the pitcher actually was- he was right about who it should have been.
You can cut em without announcing why. And you sure don't have to start them.Quote:

At this point, I’m only comfortable thinking we win 6 or 7 SEC games this year. I think the 2015 team would sweep this team
Dang, looking like no NCAA tournament play in basketball or baseball this year. :(
Name that playerQuote:

Answer- Tanner Poole.
Dang. Probably see him at om next seasonQuote:

The current question is not why we didn't cut him but rather why is he getting so many appearances given the way he has performed.Quote:

I know its baseball and we always get better as it goes but Jesus H Christ we are awful right now.

Well, here is a chance for Alexander to be a hero.
bases loaded for luke alexander
here we go
Big moment for LA- bases loaded
Drew the walk.Quote:

And apparently Mangum will still swing at anything even as a JR. Horrible plate discipline. Not sure why anyone ever throws him a strike.
Dude can't throw a strike and Mangum gets up and chases 2 out of the zone and K's. This is going to be a really, really ugly loss.
3 terrible swings and a K with bases loaded from our team leader
McNeese is like 1-6
Luke has now been been on base 4 times in last 7 PAs with 2 doubles with 2 RBIs. The last game was unofficial, but the point remains. He is producing... his OBP is right at .350
They lost 12-1 to Texas State. Texas State is also their only win, 1-0 barn burner. Dayum.Quote:
