Forsythe will be really good for us next year. He's really turned his hitting on the last half of the season
Maybe not, but this team this year is more lemonis' than last year's. He should in no way be absolved of this train wreck. He drove this.Quote:

They suck, period. RPI doesn't lie with this sample sizeQuote:

Total inability of the power guys to just simply get a single, much less hit a line drive.Quote:

Oof. 8-2. Was hoping we would close the gap by the time I got back.
You nailed it 7. When all is said and done, as with any organization at this level, everything eventually settles at the feet of one person. He needs to fix this shit and he better not dick around with it.Quote:

1st/2nd no outs again. Let's not blow it like last inning
Take heart. We closed the gap on the End of this abomination of a season. Lemonis burned any good will he had with me for staying his ass on that ball bucket all last year while the players coached themselves to a NC. He hasn?t made a right move this entire year. He lucked into a built team and now we are seeing his players and his coaching come to fruition. Maybe Florida will come calling when Sully retires. It worked before.Quote:

We are winning 5-2!! That is, since I've been watching. Too bad we started off down 6-0.
As I've said all season - lemonis gets full credit for last season and this one. You can't pat him on the back for last year, and at the same time not give him credit for this one. He in no way should be fired or anything crazy like that, but make mo mistake, this is his babyQuote:

I don't disagree with that. But some of you guys just sit here and take every chance to criticize without acknowledging respect for the guy. I will take 10 seasons like this if it means a natty every 4-5 years. And the fact he doesn't have enough pitchers left (which is partially on him for recruiting). If sims was healthy, we'd be pushing for a regional right now.Quote:

Luckily, we managed to score another on a ground out before Tanner got a legitimate hit to drive James in.
But at least State got some positive results out of it.
What talent Lemonis attracts from the portal and how we perform next season will tell us a lot about Lemonis. This is his 3rd full season as our HC but the first time he has faced any real adversity. Lemonis was handed Mangum and Allen but he is now going to have to find some players like that on his own.Quote:

Seriously, we do not have ONE pitcher on this entire staff that you can really count on from one appearance to the next. Closest thing to that at this point might be KC Hunt but I don't really feel great about anyone on the entire staff.Quote:

He kept us in the game, he pitched better than our starter tonight. What else do you want from the pen - Tepper. He was terrible most of the year but has turned in several good outings past few weeks. I didn't say he was our best pitcher. Reading comprehension.Quote:

Good grief Kellum! Just giving them free outs with terrible approaches on hitter counts
Looks like there may be a little fight left in these boys after all

Glad Kam saw a pitch, lol.
