    Our team acts entitled at times

    And I don't like that. Saw it against Mizzou and you saw it today.

    If we play like we did today against Tennessee I hope MSU refunds any fans that bought SEC baseball Tournament tickets. Complete horseshit effort from everyone on the team and the coaches. Worst performance since USM 2018. And that was because our coach was chasing tail. What's Lemonis's excuse?

    And then the player's throwing "That's baseball" at us? Bullshit. That's awful baseball. What a **** you to the fanbase.

    I don't think this is a great team and I think our staff chose to mail in that game today. If we don't show up tomorrow (I assume our starters go now) then I fully expect to fall short of Omaha. I don't like the fact Lemonis teams have gotten run ruled both tournaments he's coached. That's a bad look. It's one thing to lose. It's another to fail to compete or even look like you give a crap. We should've rested guys like Logan Tanner if we were going to mail it in.

    I’m confused by your post. You are on record saying it doesn’t matter but yet u are complaining regardless how we lost?

    So why do u care? I suppose tomorrow doesn’t matter either for you.

    Btw Todd, I think it’s just this team and they are what they are. We are young overall, especially pitchers. Hopefully they learn and we get some help going into next year.
    Honestly I’m surprised we have won 40 games, we are iffy and up and down at times for sure. Today we were bad in all phases of the game.

    During the Mizzou series we learned something. At this point, it is what it is. My grief is over.

    That said - Florida shelled two very competent pitchers. That's where they got the runs. With better defense, we play 9 innings but still lose, all other things being equal. Also the Barco kid is a big time prospect, 1st round pick type player. He was the #14 national prospect out of HS. We were not shut out by a Samford walkon.

    I was one that was hyping B Smith as the secret weapon, so I was very wrong. RPI is #8. So we are hanging to a national seed by a small margin. We might be playing at the Notre Dame super regional with barking dogs and lawn mowers in the background. No worries, we win that series in a Sweep.

    It is kind of remarkable we've won 40.

    Brandon Smith had good stuff today. UF did a great job and we made coaching and fielding mistakes in the first 2 innings and things got out of hand. Then Brandon started leaving it over the plate in the 3rd.

    Meaningless game at 9:30 in damn morning. I'm sorry, I'm not going to judge anything with a ridiculous start time like that. There are 3 suitable stadiums in Birmingham - they could avoid crap like this with a little effort on the part of the SEC. Play 2 at Rickwood and 2 in the Met, and run a shuttle bus for the RV people who bitch about it. They are 18 miles apart - there is no reason to not do this.

    The loss doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The way we didn't give a shit does matter. Seen too much of that lately.

    I hope it's meaningless. 0-2 could cost us a national seed.

    So that Tennessee game just potentially became a National Seed playoff. Especially if Notre Dame do well in their conference tournament.

    Guess between that and the big 12 tourney would seemingly have a factor. All 3 Texas schools are ahead of us now. Rpi wise that is. That could swing tomorrow.

    I have never seen grown men freak out so bad. We were all saying no one gave a shit about the tourney and some even said let the starters sit and ply younger guys. Then we mail it in and everyone freaks out saying we don’t give a shit and Lemonis is back to sucking!! Good lord people. Chill out! Make up your damn mind!!
