WTF was that
I stand corrected. Someone can sweep us
Boy, only sport we don't suck at, and we still get put in our place when facing highly ranked teams
Hey. Could be worse. My buddy drove up from Fairhope with tix to all three games.
Just can't play Georgia pitching with this umpire crew rewarding any curve ball again and we'll be fine.
And Georgia won't hit this well in Omaha which is where we'd have to see them again.
Nah. They exposed every phase of State?s game. Bad bullpen, Bad Defense, weak hitting against quality pitching.Quote:

We'll be OK, but we're not going to be the #1 national seed like I hoped 48 hours ago. We'll still host and we could absolutely get hot in June and make a deep run.
Doesn't matter where we spend it, we miss stateQuote:

A&M put 18 runs on this Georgia team on Sunday. Five runs today was never going to cut it. And that is to go with the one pitiful run we scored last night. This series sweep has much more to do with our offense and catching issues than our pitching. And scoring runs when you are down 10-2 is good but teams don't pitch the same way up 8 runs that they do in a tight game.
I don't think that is at all likely now, we will be lucky to be host and national seed is out of the question. Only way is we get on some incredible tear and that doesn't look to happen. this team appears to be digressingQuote:

Currently 7-5. Should be able to recover the next 2 weeks. Don't like us having to face lsu 2nd half of season bc they will figure it out. 4 tough series in a row after SC. I say 15-15
Agree as far as national seed that ship is about to take up anchor.Quote:

Nah this weekend as taken the wind out of my sails. We will most likely lose to TN
Need to win 7 or 8 in the next 3 series.Quote:

Just need 8 SEC wins from the next 18 to make a regional.
Next weekend Tennessee Vols, new umpires, and maybe the batting can be adjusted. A team that got swept by Vandy. Should do much better.
UGA hitters will crush a mistake into the stands, other teams will just get a line drive single.
I've definitely lost some confidence in this team. Our offense is not nearly as good as I thought it was earlier in the year and we have a major issue at catcher plus being down McPherson. I thought we were definitely going to be a Top 8 seed type team but not so sure of that now.Quote:

Now if they also lose the next week to an unranked team at home, then suddenly there's some big concerns. But assuming we bounce back, I don't see any reason why we can't expect to still be a top 8 national seed.
Jay just said there might be some shakeup in the lineup.
Losing McPherson really hurt us this weekend. No one is talking about it but Sweeney really to me cost us this game as much as anything. He has to pitch better. He was horseshit today. We scored five runs and usually that is enough. It's hard to hit when umpires are calling balls strikes. That's why we look "tentative" sometimes. Umpires were ass all weekend and I hope we complain to the SEC and this crew doesn't do any of our games the rest of the year. They absolutely affected the outcome of this series in a negative way. They're the poster boys why fans want ABS. I didn't even think their catcher framed it that well. He scooped everything and they bought it every single ****ing time. I would love to see the reports from our tech on how the umpires did this weekend. Too bad someone from MSU doesn't leak that. I'm sure it was CB Bucknor bad.
Yeah, I don't know about that. What metric is predicting us to win 13/18 the rest of the way? I mean, that's .722 winning %, and we're currently at .583.Quote:

Noah is going to have to sit a game I guess unless there is some rule that you have to sit out longer for multiple ejections within a specific time frame that I don't know about.Quote:
