Mangum and Allen both picked on bad dirt reads in first. I'm calling dugout mtg after this defensive inning and ripping assholes.

Mangum and Allen both picked on bad dirt reads in first. I'm calling dugout mtg after this defensive inning and ripping assholes.
Jones catching and Hatcher DH
Usual lineup otherwise. Plumlee p
Plumlee can't locate in the zone. He's doing the job he's intended for. Midweek.
This pitcher is clowning us
We have our heads straight up our ****ing asses. Spring break and already in Gainesville. Look like ****ing horseshit on defense and running bases.
Woof, rough night for Foscue
Man in 3rd and no outs and Foscue and Jones have horrible at bats. This is a shitastic mental performance.
Great job Hatcher battling and getting the run home. Up 2-1
We have had some brutal ab's
It's just that game where no one is mentally in the ballpark. Lemonis is probably cussing them all. And rightfully so.
Foul ball just broke a window in the pressbox. And it was brand new! **
Yes. Midweek game with what should be a minor opponent.Quote:

Score?
4-1 now and we are opening it up.
4-1 btm 5Quote:

Hatcher having a great night. Cumbest looks like a freshman.
Those clouds in center field look nasty. When are the storms supposed to get to Starkville?
ThanksQuote:

Yeah not complaining. But we have to be mentally tougher than to come out and not be mentally prepared to play today. Yes we knew we were gonna win and we were a day from traveling to open the sec but teams that win championships are mentally tough in situations like early today. Learn from it and move on but learn from it.
There's no rule against pulling them out. We were shit the first few innings mentally and weren't ready to play. Someone somehow woke us up whether it was a Sr, Lemonis, Ginn or somebody. But we woke up and pulled our heads out of our asses. Championship teams have to be mentally stronger than everyone. Learn from the start of this game and be mentally stronger.Quote:

No I'm not. You play against the game you don't play an opponent.Quote:

18-1...we handled our business and you obviously don’t realize how long a baseball season really is.Quote:

Only negative was the way we weren't mentally there the first couple of innings. I've covered that.
Now it's for real. Need to go to Gainesville and shove it in their asses. Take at least 2 and announce our SEC presence with authority.
I do. Relax and we handled our business for 7 1/2 innings. I absolutely know what the hell Im talking about. Shit it happens but as a coach it's what you have to rail on them about. This isn't Dixie ball. I don't give a shit who you are playing the way we were absent mentally early is a coaching point I promise you Lemonis is hammering their asses with. No way in hell hes saying it's all ok I know it's a long season and y'all were looking to Florida.Quote:

Hatch showed today. Need to see it on a weekend though to believe it. He did this last yr too. But I thought he could be a player last yr and he just never caught up. Hopefully a light bulb goes off bc I believe he has talent.Quote:

Funny thing is we will have some melt if we lose 6-8 in conference. Baseball is a weird game. You will lose and there ain’t shit you can do about it even if you play well
19-11 and we are at the top of the league and a lock for a natty seedQuote:

The way it?s going right now with Hancock and Jones..we?re gonna have to move one next year. Guys can hit and we also have Ethan H. coming in next year out of Mobile who is the real deal. I?m excited about what the future holds for our program.
