Hmm. The same Missouri team that made this A&M team look like they had quit just 2 weeks ago? Nope! A&M is not as good as what State puts on the field but they are still whipping that ass like State is a HS JV team! Dr. Jekyll meet Mr. Hyde!Quote:

A&M is just poorly coached. They actually have a ton of talent. Missouri is poorly coached and has zero talent. They also decided to rest their best pitchers last weekend which contributed to the ass kicking we gave them.Quote:

I dont buy that. Im not saying we are going to Omaha but there is a difference and it needed to be done even if we lost out. You cant sit there and say that if Lemon is here we come back after losing to OM In the first game and clutching vs UK. No reason or evidence to support thatQuote:

They had first and third with no outs and just pissed the game away. I still think we find a way in with Lemonis, but glad we made the move so we would not have a decision to keep him that we would be contemplating right now.Quote:

I just don’t understand how we can play so badly!
Yep. Helpful to reset expectations prior to the regional.Quote:

It may have been the difference in getting into a regional vs. not, but that's as far as this team's talent will take it this year.Quote:

Mizzou sucks.
Agreed. Now onto the Regionals. If I had to guess we will be sent to an ACC school or be sent West. I think there is a small chance we end up in Ft Worth but we have been sent to an ACC regional all but 3 times this century if we did not host. I would look for that trend to continue.Quote:

Generally it will go to the two seed that came out of the higher ranked regional. For example, if we are the 3 and we come out of the 14th ranked regional host site and the 3 opposite of us comes out of the number 3 ranked host site they will host. It would have worked to our advantage in 18 but the NCAA said our stadium was still a construction site so they gave it to Vandy.Quote:

We also will not be getting to a Super so it is irrelevant that way as well.Quote:

Was this our first time to be shut out this season?
No need to throw Pico they said. It'll be fine they said.
I mean did you really want to win a meaningless game in a meaningless tournament and AGAIN move Pico up a day on short rest for a 9:30 AM game? That is asking for arm issues.Quote:

Well…they can’t field balls well either.Quote:
