I would call Elijah Macnamee, or others from mentally tough teams in the past, and have them come in and speak to the team. I would emphasize that what they've done the last few weeks is unacceptable and off brand for this baseball program. That if they feel "okay" about losing 2 at home to Mizzou and getting skull dragged in the first two games of the SECT, then they may ought to go ahead and GTFO now because this place isn't for them. I would look the veterans in the eyes and tell them how much they're going to regret not stepping up and demanding more from themselves and their teammates when they're watching the CWS at home while knowing they had the talent to be there and win it.
Then I'd tell them that if they aren't willing to put in max effort, neither will the coaches. And I'd say "you guys let us know when y'all are ready to practice like a team that is on a direct mission to win a National Championship this year. You know my number". And walk out. Leaving nothing but the players in the room to decide how they want the story to play out this year.
