And 3 or 4 were on Hunter Hines
picking up where we left off, not good at all
That's what I was afraid of w/HH. I could see this ending up with someone else at 1B and him being the DH again.
It’s a wait and see for me this spring. But someone has to say it “we talkn bout practice man”!
Lemonis has 3 things going for him, 1 obviously is the championship (which we should have won already not sure how much he really had to do with it) we have owned OM with him and 3, something that isn?t mentioned is that Mangum speech after Louisville put us out. You would have to think Mangum knows what a good baseball coach is.
But me personally I would have pulled the trigger last May. I am going to support him but I have 0 faith we will be better. If we lose some games early it will get very ugly for him. There was some serious heat coming from the chair backs last year. A loss to a mid major will be all it takes
Hines should have been starting every game at 1B about halfway through the SEC schedule last year when the writing was on the wall that we weren't going anywhere. That's 100% on Lemonis for not making that move and getting him more game experience in the field.Quote:

I mean, we haven't settled on our roster yet. Lots of folks playing that won't be.
I arrived late but was told Dylan Cupp took a fastball to tge head. Any info on that?
What I saw said he walked off the field and appeared ok. Wonder who hit him?Quote:

So our pitching staff hasn't changed....?Quote:

Yes, but do you expect them to be able to make the move.Quote:

Lemonis won a NC and then had two bad seasons. Now he is at the point where if he turns this thing around he deserves our full support. If he makes a regional we keep him. Anything else we have to start looking elsewhere. Our schedule is brutal, but he did this to himself so he needs to figure out a way to at least win 13 or 14 games to get us to a regional
you want to be the man you have to beat the man. Dawgs haven't beaten much lately.
Same guy who won the 2021 CWS also got run-ruled twice in the 2021 SEC tourney. It's anybody's tourney who gets hot on the mound when you get to the Regional Format. If you are a 1 seed at home the draw matters as much as your coaching ability.Quote:

Basically, yeah we can probably get a decent defensive first baseman out there, but what would that do to the lineup?
2nd best Baseball movie. Of you want a poster boy at 1st base look at Freeman. A 6'6" skinny gut who can do a split and stretch to get the ball thrown over his head to get the gut out where a 6'1" guy wouldn't.Quote:

heard today people are really singing Hugesak's praises so far this preseason
He is very unlikely to be fired if we make a RegionalQuote:

Nor should he be. If he doesn?t make a regional he should beQuote:
