    You referenced the years 2018-2021. Well I believe a truly exceptional player and leader named Jake Mangum set the table for work ethic and approach by example and that was carried forward by Tanner Allen. We seemed to have lost that succession following Tanner Allen in my opinion.

    That is a fact! Only one reason!

    Can't believe you are making excuses 34, this doesn't sound like you. It all goes back to coaching and who is in charge. Players play the game when a coach brings them to the school and makes out the lineup.

    Last and next to last is the problem.
    We sucked in everything. shitty defense-shitty base running--shitty hitting--and for sure double shitty pitching. what i am worried about is the bucket sitting Coach who looked clueless all season. It took half a season to change SS. After 4 years -why didn't he know Hancock had a week arm.Did he really think he was a SEc catcher? To keep playing Alford at third was also a head scratcher. Dump lemonis asap and let's get a real coach.

    I agree. Mods need to delete anything in here that isn?t about the transfer portal and we need a Monitor of the Portal updating this thread every hour
    Tack it to the Top if necessary.

    Full disclosure: I was guilty of straying as well.

    It's very much a possibility.

    What about the D-III Pitcher OF THE YEAR from Belhaven. He has Stinnett hair and throws sidearm/submarine. Tops out at about 85 mph.

    Cravey just a tad better than that. 10-2 record this year, 3.10 era, 6'6" 240 pounds, 92-95 fb, great changeup and breaking ball. Only a sophomore. 7 IP against usm today, 1 run.

    Would immediately make our outfield and the top of our lineup one of the best in the nation. Mershon, Montgomery, Hines, and Jordan......no team would get through those 4 without giving up some damage.

    Do we think Amani Larry plays his Senior Year?

    Seems he could play another year and have much greater success.

    If not Mizzou has a 2nd baseman with similar size, +300, similar power and better fielding in the portal.

    Trevor Austin, 440 On Base Percentage and similar plate discipline.

    Does he bat right or switch hit? Because we saw our troubles with our lefties against Left Handed pitching.

    The days of few LH pitchers and the need for more LH batters is waning. Lots of left handed pitchers going to college now when before they were a premium out of high school and got MLB contracts.

    You had me at sidearm/submarine.

    Although we have Cam Shuelke coming in and he throws with multiple crazy arm angles. But he's an actual draft prospect.

    Also played with Highfill and Tommasini.

    Montgomery can also pitch as well potentially. Stanford tried to make him a starter. I think we might be able to potentially use him as a relief pitcher like we used Thigpen back in the day. At least we probably will look at it.

    Perfect Ron Polk type player. Ron always recruited players who could play other positions and pitch. He wouldn't hesitate to swap players around and bring in someone from the field to throw some innings. Did it all the time.

    Mizzou has two pitchers in the portal that are immediately helpful

    (1) Austin Troesser - reliable experienced reliever- huge upgrade over KC and Enema. Nice innings:bb ratio and 220 OBA. Agriculture Major!

    (2) Chandler Murphy - grad - Arizona and Missouri experience. Starter and Reliever. National Recruit from HS.
