My top three disappointing teams
Here you go:
3) 1989, we were #1 most of the year, we were loaded with depth and talent only to lose on Sunday in the regional at the Dudy to North Carolina. I think we had 6 total losses for the year!
2) 1985, 4 major league all-stars, a wicked shot off the bat into Gene Morgan's leg pretty much cost us Natty.
1) 2022, season isn't officially over but it seems to be over. After winning a Natty, celebrating like it was going out of style, injuries to our pitching staff plus the high expectations with "most of the line-up back except pitchers, we have been so inconsistent and total flop thinking we would make another run to Omaha!
I always considered 84 better than 85

1984, 1989, and 2016- all probably should have been in Omaha. Those 1980's teams ended up essentially finishing the equivalent of a Super Regional today.
Our 2021 team IMO wasn't as good as our 2019 team. 1985 was probably the best team in that field that year.
It's like that in MLB too.
So as far as MSU baseball if we make a Super Regional I consider it a good year.
In 84, we had Bobby Parker at SS. In 84 Palmeiro hit 29 homers, Clark 28
