This seems to be the case in football and basketball so has it spread to SEC baseball and roster management?
People need to stop acting like losing midweeks is something unique or new to this season and Lemonis.
1992 was my first on campus season. We had a solid team that went 40-22/15-9 and hosted.
I watched us lose to Bellhaven (NAIA), William Carey (NAIA), South Alabama, Mississippi College (DII), La Tech, Jackson State (SWAC), and North Alabama (DII) all in the same season. That's with our HOF coach in his 19th season.
We lost 13 OOC games that year. We had no business playing NAIA or DII schools - and we lost. Baseball is just a weird sport where those things happen.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

Yep 100%! And as I said people on here need to quit comparing baseball to the other sports. In football or basketball you can give the ball to your best player every single time you need a big play. In baseball your best pitcher is not always on the mound or your best hitter isn't always at the plate when you need a big play. And even if your best hitter is up, he can be pitched around or walked and that negates him.

Pretty sure we even lost to MC in 85.

Yep. And that team was the most talented team we ever had. IMO.
