    No swag, no fire, lack of leadership, I don't see the old baseball "tradition" I'm use to seeing in players! No excitement but when a team is on a long losing streak they except losing more often than not. Surly 34 since you are a Coach you understand what I'm saying. I'm for giving Lemonis a chance to turn this thing around, but he better be making some changes quickly. But it looks pretty bad right now. I'm pulling for this team to win, I'm just not happy with what I'm seeing and I am not sugar coating the truth. Oh, I understand in baseball sometimes the better team doesn't win, but losing like we did to open the season makes me wonder that maybe we were not the better team.

    I see that we may be missing leadership/passion. But we are playing hard. Looks like a real lack of confidence

    And that's why we need a need coach. They don't have confidence in themselves or their coach...at least that's what I see.

    Let's be honest.... Winning fixes everything.
    We have not traditionally had the administration with the sack to pull off a move like that. Maybe Byrne, if he had stuck around, would be willing to go against the MSU norm and hire an asshole. But definitely not LT, Loafers or Cohen.

    Hell. LT would have been pacing the floor of the Hump with his face burning red with all of those “wife beater” chants. Our ADs have been some gutless SOBs. Now is the time for Selmon to show that he’s not one of those

    The players have quit. All you have to do is look at their approach to the plate. They DGAS.

    More like a real lack of talent. How many players do we have would start for Arkansas, LSU or Florida? Thats on Lemonis and GoThreaux.

    Do the players actually give a damn about this season. Seriously they are hitting like they have been only playing jr high baseball. I don?t ever recall a State team throwing and hitting runners in the base path thus allowing the runner to make the base twice in one game. Really bad. I also do not understand the evaluations of players recruits transfers. The players Lemon have brought in are NOT good players except for a couple. And definitely not M over S standards and capable of competing in the SEC the best conference in this country.

    What the problem is right now has nothing to do with talent unless you think GA Southern, Air Force, and the Pee are all out recruiting us. We are getting pushed around at our house by lesser players and teams. One offs I get but we look like our football team playing Bama every day.

    I doubt any of our so called draft picks make it past Double A. In fact, our 2 studs in the middle of the batting order both could have played the Role of Beau Gentry in Clint Eastwood's movie "Trouble With The Curve"!

    Yet he constantly ripped a 9 win football coach ad nauseam. Bringing up stats and past history to argue his point. Somehow none of that matters with Lemon.

    If you were playing for a coach that finish dead last or 2nd to last in the conference the past 2 years, you would t have any confidence either.

    Almost like Lemo isn't a good coach and should have been gone last year.

    Like you say THIS (year 6) is the year he should put up or be gone. I think it was last year. Year 5-especially in the Portal era- os PLENTY of time to fix any roster issues the last staff gave you. Especially after the disaster of the '22 season, he should have been fired after '23
