I can?t remember the last time I was this excited for a season. We have a deadly schedule but we are so so talented it?s sick. If our pitching holds up we will be hard to beat. Got a feeling kinda like right before 2016.

I'm excited too, but it isn't baseball season yet. Let's see if Jans' crew has rounded the corner
Can?t wait!
January??
Regional Host is the goal. LFG!!!!
Glad you're still kickin around, Preach!Quote:

We should be able to at least make a Super Regional.Quote:

Our rotation is much improved over last year- and whoever starts midweek for us will essentially be SEC weekend caliber for us. That should help minimize midweek upsets for us. And we have a third baseman who is projected to be a first round pick. Also we'll be much better coached- I'm expecting us to make fewer fundamental mistakes this year which should also lead to more wins.
Football has to get on it and make it happen.Quote:

We have a chance to be really good. The pieces are there and this staff is beyond competent it should be a good run, but this league and our schedule is a monster. It will be nice to watch good baseball again.
I hope the heck not.........2016 wound up being a disappointment by losing at home in a SR...........Quote:

Regional Host most times means Super. Anything past a Super takes luck. Tenn had the best SEC team in recent memory and didnt make it to Omaha.Quote:

I mean that's 7 that are better rosters. Now, none of those had Brian O'Conner. Two of those rosters did beat Brian O'Conner though.
I hear ya- but this is beisball. Anything can happen.Quote:

This roster to me is better than half of those. We've never had a top 7 on the pitching staff like this one has. This hitting line-up should be really good alsoQuote:

Of course, if we don’t make it to Omaha this year, State fans will be calling for O’Conner’s head. Our fanbase is the worst mixture of expectations and lack of understanding that I can think of.
