I said before the season we would learn a lot about Foxall by what he does with Cerantola. Maybe that's not fair. Maybe no one could have done better.Quote:

Oh and screw the ncaa and I'm sorry NC state too. They knew players were sick Monday per Kendalls story. They should have been disqualified then and Stanford would have moved on as undefeated and forced vandy to beat them twice.
We are setup fine though. If we had won Thursday. Bednar would have pitched tonight. Instead he pitches we'd hopefully.
If we can win one, we'd have same number of CWS wins as Vandy so we'd be co champs right. Order the banner.Quote:

The only decent game he has pitched in the post-season was VCU. He looked like crap in the SEC tournament, against ND and UVA.Quote:

The wheels started spinning out of control after that.Quote:

He was actually 4.41 career ERA with a 5.71 this year, his worse by far and the career number was aided by last year no SEC play.Quote:

Truth is, we wouldn't be here without him. He played in some big games and is invaluable in the staff. Yeah, he lost games, who hasn't. He'll Rowdey missed a pop up last week. Cost us that game.Quote:

Fine, we have a stable of dependable guys now, right? No, we don't. We have guys aren't reliable and don't have the raw stuff either. I'm fine with the decision to move on if we had a stable of dependable guysQuote:

It's not a straw man bc that's been my point forever. We didn't have enough dependable guys to shelf ECQuote:
