    Respect for 2017 - Cannizarro and Henderson

    With just a fraction of todays D1 pitchers. They never got blown out on Sunday like this, much less to dumpster fire teams. They won 17 SEC games too.

    That team had Brant Blaylock throwing SEC innings. Even Brent Rooker had pitching duty.

    We've lost 2 Sunday games by more than 2 runs.

    I would take that team leadership 100 times out of 100 compared to our current one. And where that shows up is in the errors colum. That team had 49 errors in 67 games. We've got 50 already this year.

    Rooker, Mangum, Gridley, and Cody Brown all hit over .300. Also had Luke Alexander, Stovall

    But here's some facts. That team scored 339 runs in 67 games. We've scored 327 already this year. 58 homers already this year to 59 in 2017.

    Stats tell odd stories. Circumstances and situations matter more in baseball than any sport. Least talented team I was part of as a high school coach finished state runner up that year. The relationships, seniority, experience matter and that team had that oozing from them. This team doesn't have that special spark. It's way more talented, but that special spark isn't there. We've still got the talent to win it all though.

    Get over yourselves Francis' - we hit a speed bump in a long baseball season. Shit happens. We still host our way to Omaha, quit bitching.

    If we lose the series next weekend, then fine. Otherwise, that’s silly.

    Yeah, that teams determination and resourcefulness was off the charts. We have dudes today that belong in that category like Allen and Sims, for sure.

    It can be argued that today was just a freak occurrence, many will take it that way. Hopefully they are right, optimists are frequently right.

    Radio listeners with Jim Ellis and Jay Powell today could clearly understand this team was just not ready to play this weekend. That is just not MSU baseball as I know it.

    Our RPI is going to be in the teens now. Very possible that we aren't a National seed even if we win 2 at Bama.

    This team has too many holes to win anything significant

    LF is glaring weakness
    James cant handle 3B- and is now struggling at the plate. Cerrano cant handle the slider
    Leggs cant hit SEC pitching but is solid at 3B defensively
    We are decent at SS but it's not a strength
    Inconsistent starting pitching- our ERA is creeping up to 4.53 in SEC games
    Wtf coaching decisions of relief pitchers

    This team just isnt a championship winning team. We could end up in Omaha- but this bunch could easily lose a regional as well- especially if we get a team in it that hits the ball well.
    Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is
