That's him!

I hope the optimism that some of you guys have will rub off on me. I have seen so many baseball games over my life following the Dawgs at home and away. I am just just stunned after winning the Natty how far we fell off the cliff. I hope to regain confidence and get back on the wagon that I fell off on this past year! But in saying this, I'm in a wait and see mode and honestly I see we will be better but not sure how much. Also, when things are as bad as they have been the last two year, the noise I heard on read about players and even my grandson, I decided not to attend games.
After saying all this, what I saw was poorly coached team and lack of certain positions in recruiting the last few years. I truely hope Lemonis is what many of us thought he was and not some lazy coach who let the ship sink. We are a baseball school!

We're probably getting the guy from Sacred Heart as well.

What happened to the 3b from Gonzaga?

He would be a great acquisition.

Now ya'll are seeing some of what Homedog was talking about. Like I said, we've got a shot at a good portal class. Just need to add a couple pitchers to the guys mentioned and we'll all be happy with that group. Got to get them in first and that's a couple weeks away.

Need to add more than a couple.

Cade McGee (now a Texas Tech Raider) was a 293 hitter with 6 HR at Gonzaga; he does have a 100% fielding percentage but so few chances, he seems like a DH. I think you aspire for a slugger at 3B and you could accept a Tommy White non-fielding percentage.

I think I rather have Amani Larry return, he would hit 320 and 10 HR in 2024. Let's see what the draft does.

MSU also has Hujsak that can play 3B. I bet Hujsak kills it at 3B, his 900 fielding at VCU is better than Forskin, Mershon, and E5 this past year.

If the secret commitments are Holman and Montgomery, MSU is at least playing Supers next year.

Just talking smack here, the Skenes deal at LSU worked for a Championship because (1) Skenes was uniquely awesome. That is why we were hoping that he would be a Dog and he created a stir when he tweeted about Aaron Nixon joining MSU. (2) LSU had other arms and great players to complement Skenes.

Heading to 2024, MSU has a really bad pitching staff overall and the bullpen is an atrocity. A super transfer (like Skenes) would help, but Chase Burns is not Skenes. He could become that good, but you can't say that Chase Burns is going to win 90% of his Fridays and go 8 innings like Skenes. Burns had a losing record and bad ERA as a starter. Does not mean that Burns is not going to get better and dominate 2024, but he does not guarantee a solution.

The best option (if we really had an option with Burns) would be to improve the overall pitching talent with 5-or-so solid players to help Parker succeed. That alone would win 7-to-9 more SEC games. You are then hosting regionals with quality depth and could easily be a 2024 Omaha team.

Having to coach up a whole group vs get a couple studs. Rather have the studs and actually coach the group we have and see what they are made of

Get Holman and two or three more and we're good. Pitching coach will improve our current guys. We get back a couple who were hurt last year too. And we could possibly add more depending on who is available.
Holman is the huge piece. He alone gets us to post season assuming our young guys make the expected move in improvement. Not sure what Cade is doing (Base can tell you more than me) but the potential is high.

Coming back wouldn't help him much anyway, or at least I don't think so. I'm sure he has gotten good advice.

Cade wasn't showing in the top 250 picks last I looked. I figured he was gone regardless but didn't want to put my foot in my mouth saying so. Can't blame him. Wonder what NIL would be for him though.

I don't think it matters what round but we shall see. I can't speak for him but I don't see him coming back. Baseball is only fun when you win all the time, the last two years wasn't what he has been associated with, LOL Just saying, a lot was going on.

It sure as heck wasn?t fun for me the past 2 years. I guess all the fans that kept showing up were there for the atmosphere and drinking because they couldn?t have been there for the baseball.
