    I'm hopeful

    We can pull a damn good coaching staff and retool this roster with better talent.

    With a competent coaching staff, this team is probably a 2 seed. Maybe a fringe hosting candidate, though we would still have some weaknesses.

    Nobody's surviving. The entire staff and a number of players are done here.
    It's a damn shame Foxhall isn't already fired.

    Not with these players. These players aren't good enough. We've got a couple young pitchers and some young talent. But this team is bad from top to bottom.

    The talent is there. We just aren’t pulling it out of them. Now there are some pieces that can be upgraded and like everyone else, we will have to hit the portal next year for a lot, but that’s common now. We have the pieces tho on the mound with Lo, Loftin, Dohm, Holcomb, and a couple more. Just need coaches.

    I thought tonight was a lot better. A blown strike 3 call on the home run was the difference.

    I also would have earholed the next guy for running their mouth the way they did after the HR, but what do you expect. We have no edge or gumption about us at all…

    LSU put out the blue print on the portal last year and how to do it. Copy them. You gotta buy them. Honestly after these last 2 years, if it doesn’t light a fire under some big donors, I don’t know what will. We are watching LSU and TN break records tonight. TN for all people. That is where State should be. Not setting records for most SEC loses in a row…

    We are a bad defensive team with a shaken pitching staff. That is a very bad combination especially with 18 straight Sec losses.

    I was hoping in the 9th inning the streak was gonna end.

    I'm just glad we haven't lost our fire. I still see us beat our chests before we K looking.

    Well, not getting our pitcher out of there before he thre 9 straight balls in the 9th inning would have been good. Next, our hitters need to learn how to hit with two strikes. Hines coming out of his shoes on strike 2 and then watching strike 3 is hilarious. The guy throwing has one pitch. Lay off everything with spin and hammer a straight ass fastball. SEC hitters can?t hit a fastball down broadway? Also, do we ever hit to the opposite field? Nope. If I were Geautreau I would tell every hitter if you hit to the pull side next game, you will not play for a month, until we have 5 hits oppo.

    That?s what I said in the other thread. At some point, talent should take over and overcome shitty coaching. If we had talent where it mattered, I honestly believe we wouldn?t be on a historical bad streak and 0-7. Are you telling me Alfords 8 damn errors at 3rd is coaching?

    Besides coaching, we need to cut bait with some players

    Now to be fair we have Stat chasers! It is much more important to watch that SOLO homerun fly out into the parking lot than it is to get that two run single to the opposite field! Didn't y?all know that?
