Gautreau staying in Starkville

[confucius say]

Thank goodness. This is good news.

Butch and Nick Mingione went from assistants to HC at SEC programs.

JG must like his position and what is to come, good for MSU

Oh I know. As I said- “interesting”

[Cooterpoot]

If goat would have lost Allen, Hancock, James and pick one he'd look like a clown too.. Js...meaning last year. I can pick four from this year if you'd like

Foxhall didn't lose that this year. He lost two proven pitchers, & that's being generous since Stone wasn't great last year.

This is true.

He lost his ace. The guy who was the scheduled 2, for 6 weeks. Our best reliever coming back, a guy in auger that was not bad and geeing better before injury, And A guy that contributed in the finals of the cws Call it what you wish.

I don't get the bashing of wanting Foxhall fired this year. Yes he made mistakes, but his biggest issue was lack of arms especially in the pen. Injuries make anyone look bad.

Season is over, time to move forward and don't lookback, it's what coaches and players do. I know this is a message board but it's the same ole song and dance with the bitching. Just saying!

Btw, some of you guys sound like some of the parents I heard at a travel ball tourney for 13-14 year old this weekend. One parent bitching cause his son wasn't playing the position he told the coach to play him before he signed up for the team. 4 games in one day is WAY too much!

And to add, just because a guy is not proven coming into the year doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to lose them. I mean Bednar and sims and Johnson and Harding weren't proven coming into 2021 and it would have killed us to lose them.
Losing augur and Simmons were killers to your pen. Sims obviously. Hunt for half the year was a significant loss, and stinnet added insult to injury.

Nothing to see here...

Always love your posts, Base, and I agree with all you just said.

Have some rep 24! LOL, I wanted to yell at some people at the tourney, "There is no crying in Baseball", same for a few players. I can't stand watching kids or players at any level or any sport dragging around, walking around with no sense of urgent, my wife keeps saying "kids ain't the same when you played or coached"! I'm like no, parents ain't the same! Even the dang umpires dragging around.

I think injuries and lack of development were kind of 50/50 causes for the woes of this staff. Obviously losing Sims and Simmons early were absolute gut punches. You could probably argue the Simmons loss cost us the Tulane series. But we still blew series at UGA and at home to LSU where we still had a relatively healthy pen due to lack of development of guys. Had Fristoe or Tepper developed like we thought they would this year then either would have been a natural choice at closer for us.

Jake makes plenty of money, gets to kind of do his own thing (mostly), his health is good and his family is "thriving" in Starkville. Don't be surprised if he stays next year too.
