We have the same mentality in all of the big 3 sports ....charmin soft
Just another year of the Diamond Dawgs tucking their tails while the rest of the league is peaking. Also, Duplantis is creeping up on Jake.
Total team effort bed shitting. All aspects.
Every time the team feels pressure they fold. Hitters (LSU and now), fielders (LSU), and pitchers (multiple examples). On the road there's more pressure and we struggle more. You can really tell in the hitting... all the sudden it's like nobody wants to take a pitch and they bit on everything. 0 ability to recognize spin because they wise it was a FB, zero effort to stay on the ball and drive it because pulling it gives them a better shot at a HR, zero effort to work the count because that would mean you have to face the pressure of the at bat for longer. On the pitching side of things we have very few pitchers who don't crumble under pressure. Just pathetic. If we don't fix our mindset we'll lose on the road to whatever SR team is hosting us.
We’ve allowed a true freshman QB to shut us down who’s only win is against Arkansas Pine Bluff. Let that sink in. He pitched 15 pitches against Vandy and gave up 7 runs. Our inability to blow this game out early put a ton of pressure on our pitching which eventually the dam broke.
Seven innings of shut out baseball to a guy who is going to get his first SEC win. This team won’t even make it to the Supers. No ****ing way.
**** this team. I’m not watching this misery.
A game like this makes you think back to the USM game where we went scoreless for 10 innings. It also makes you take a look at that strength of schedule which is 54th in the country and start to wonder just how good we actually are. UF, Bama, and UT are not very good. We beat AU when AU was without 2 of their weekend starters. Lost 2 of 3 to LSU, and get swept by Arky.
Shit, bring in Cerantola and let him get some SEC experience.
How embarrassing. Get this clown show out of the Top 10....they're not worthy.
They're better than this.
How do I know? Because they've done it before. But all weekend- poor approach at the plate, poor fielding, not attacking hitters...that's all mostly controllable. Emphasis on mostly. What I mean is- you may strike out but at least make them throw you 8-10 pitches to do it. You may give up a hit or a home run as a pitcher- but at least have it be because you went right after the hitter and attacked his ass. Baserunning- that's about being smart, knowing the fielders and their abilities, and trusting your coaches.
Our SOS is KILLED by scheduling five SWAC teams- which was stupid on whoever's part. Especially with La Tech basically begging us to play them in a game. So don't go by SOS especially when our RPI is in the teens.
My how times have changed. Looks like every post in the game thread isn't required to be 100% positive on the baseball team any more without firing up the polyannas. Seriously though, I have been concerned about some things with this team for a few weeks. We seem to be dominant over weak competition but have struggled against teams with roughly equivalent talent. Per what I'm seeing, we don't have enough dependable pitching and our defense on the infield is not as good as normal. If our hitting stops, which it has this weekend, we become a very average team in this conference if that.
I been telling you, Lemonis sux. It ain't over yet! He will get two years to completely run us in the ground!
And another shit bat for Mangum. Shit Show for the Ages!!!!
We peaked early it appears
This whole can't play unless we are disrespected manta by our team is fake and it's a mark of pussies. We aren't competing at any level of the game right now. Talent isn't the problem.
EXPOSED!!!!!!!!!!!! Bunch of sad individuals!
I’ve never seen us play as poorly as we did this weekend since early in the year last year. Horrible approaches at the plate and not adjusting, horrible job on the mound not attacking hitters, and inconsistent play in the field leads to get pounded and swept. We have to play Gilbert at third. I much rather just make the routine plays and be average there then make spectacular plays but also commit costly errors. Halter made an outstanding play but then errored an easy double play ball that opened the flood gates for that 8 run inning that basically ended the game. If he makes that DP at most we are down 2-0.
I'm not going to watch this team next weekend. I've seen enough at the beginning of our rough part of our schedule. We won't be hosting a super this year.
An old friend told me right after Lemonis was hired that it would take 2 years to truly see that Cohen had bombed on baseball and football. the clock is a ticking.
Only ****ing inning we've competed in at bats
Lemonis got schooled this weekend on how to coach and when to take pitchers out by DVH. Dave Van Horn is a much better coach then Lemonis is at their respective careers right now. No doubt about it.
I got quite the reputation for being a "melter", and it's probably deserved. Just a little reminder though... in 2013 when we played for a natty, we got swept by vandy. In 2016 when we won the sec, we got swept by aTm. In 2018 when we were in the cws, we got swept by vandy. Crap happens... let's see what we do next week before we bury this team. Carry on...
