That kid threw with basically zero effort. Nice talent to come in.
Until we hire a new staff, this is as good as it gets. Our talent isn't as good as a TN team that had no program 5 years ago. We keep screwing up our lineup and struggle with the bats.
Pretty fun time in Hoover considering our slump we were in. Nice job by the pitchers. Get some rest and get an edge to you.
The reason why Tony V is 8-0 against Lemon in the last 8 is bc he is a relentless recruiter.
YepQuote:

Lemon’s be all end all year is next year. If we start hitting better Omaha is within reach, but that has to start next week
And why he would never consider our job.Quote:

I think we could be so much better with a different approach. We need a lot more scrap.
And how many guys have really improved since they have been here at MSU? Not many. Hines and Jordan taking Daddy Hacks all year.
We need to use Campbell's offensive philosophy. Need to grind out AB's and focus on getting on base and causing havoc and then the power will come with it.
Im really getting on the Gotro must go train.
How do you make Hines and Jordan worse?
They're not that much better than we are. We just don't maximize and develop the talent we actually have on offense. It's not like they blew us out or anything tonight. We lost the game because our second baseman who should be our DH made a poor decision trying to do too much and they stole a cheap run.Quote:
