It's time to readjust unrealistic expectations for our Baseball team
Fact is, we lost a TON from last year:
With Ginn now out, that means we lost our Friday, Saturday, and Sunday starters. Woth Smith injured that means we lost 1 of the 2 really promising Fr arms we saw last year. No Barlow, Leibelt, Gordon, or White, and something is clearly up with Eagan. we have ZERO of our SEC bullpen guys from last year.
We returned nothing off last years staff. Self and Price are it, and we need them to take a big step forward to be anywhere close to the guys we lost.
On O, yeah we should be better than we are but as far as proven SEC level hitters we have Westy, Foscue, Rowdy, and Allen. Hatcher, Jordan, the catcher who's name escapes me, Cumbest... those guys all showed they can be SEC level dudes but none of them were there last year. And let's not forget Rowdy, Westy, and Allen have all had their fair share of slumps so it's not like they're super reliable week to week.
We also lost all the leaders on the team.
Fact is, hosting a regional would be a really big success for us. We wont compete for the SEC championship, and I dont see a national seed being a possibility.
Next year we should be loaded, but this year is a rebuilding year
