Yep. Too many empty spots in the lineup.
We're getting better hitters coming in. But we have to wait on them to grow up.
Our approach sucks. But I think that's more about the general baseball environment all over than a MSU only thing.

We are 15-3 the last 18. I know y’all know that but realize that those numbers can and will switch at some point. We are the better program but this year we are at best equal to them. Doesn’t change our future projections with 1 game

I know we don't have the best talent on offense but what bothers me the most is our total lack of plate discipline. We are near the very bottom in the SEC in BBs and just today, I bet we had 5+ strikeouts today swinging at balls from Nikazy that were literally shoulder to neck high. Balls that we had no chance of making contact with. As stated, just a terrible approach as we are way too aggressive at the plate given the hitting talent we have.

A perfect season you just go straight to winning the whole thing because everyone else forfeits.**

We're seeing the exact same thing. It's like we're making up our mind to swing before the ball is even thrown.

Our approach sucks because our hitting coach is a scout. Not a hitting coach

You can't help but say dumb stuff can you.?? Going into the weekend we had the fewest k's by a mile w marginal hitting talent. Yeah he sucks. Fire him... I've read your posts a d you can't be a good preacher, and suck on football basketball and baseball post. Maybe softball is your cup of tea. But I doubt it.

This^^ so foxhall sucks too? He had a first round talent wet the bed. Crap happens in baseball. It's not all cut and dried and way too many factors. Way too many. Ultimately, the coaches are paid to put a good product on the field. But not everything is within their control.

He'll find a way to blame today's loss on Cohen's wife.**
When you're playing an online character/personality, you commit to it, lol.

This. We're second in the SEC west top 5 in the country, our staff is doing a bang up job. Baseball isn't football, it has ups and downs just the nature of the game. What you do in baseball is search for consistency and to win each series, ain't going undefeated in baseball lol.
