    "Just 4 games from making a Regional" is not a guarantee - it would most likely have to be 4 SEC games and even then it would have been dicey - but even if it were, that's 13.33% of the SEC season. That's not particularly close. That's like being 2.4 basketball wins away from being in the NCAA Tournament.

    Of course I meant four SEC games. 13 SEC wins gets you on the bubble- and likely in. 14 and you are solidly in.

    When you factor in the one run losses where we had a lead and blew it, the fact that our pitching staff had an ERA of 7 during the season and over 9 in SEC play- us turning this around really isn't a stretch at all.

    Ole Bert Stare may have been right and Haire being a Bulldog, just the wrong Bulldogs.

    I keep seeing this ultra low low bar for what "turning it around" means.

    "Turning it around" SHOULD mean State baseball- compete with the best in the conference, solidly be a host, make a Super.

    You're defining "turning it around" to mean barely squeak into the tournament with a flawed teak that can't go anywhere.

    These 2 are not the same.

    You're having to play "woulda coulda shouda" games with our pitching staff to say we could have possibly snuck into the tournament, which is still below State standards. Think about that- that's how far your standards for us have fallen

    Any time you see State baseball fans hanging their hats on being 4 SEC wins away from possibly squeaking into a regional, you know things are bad.

    What a joke.

    This "4 wins away" stuff is "MsState" football fanbase rationality bleeding into baseball.

    9-21 in the SEC means you Suck. Not making Hoover means you Suck.

    All the teams you beat to get those 9 shitty wins are thinking, "how did we lose to those clowns". You are equidistant to 5 wins as 13.

    We had a -112 run differential in the SEC. -112. In 30 games. That is an AVERAGE of almost 4/game.

    Anyone thinking we were in any way some short or even medium distance from being decent or even mediocre is completely kidding themselves. We were terrible, for the 2nd year in a row.

    To put that into perspective, Ole Miss, who was clearly the worst team in the league (or you at least assume) had a -93 run differential in conference. We were nearly 20 runs worse than them, despite the 3 more wins.

    We were closer to being even worse than we were to being any better at all.
