This what every other team in talks with Montgomery will say ?you really want to play your last year of college baseball with a team that hasn?t made Hoover in the last two years.? That is going to be hard to over come.

[Cooterpoot]

Montgomery is going to be a tougher pull now. I?m preparing myself for that disappointment as well.

I?m still not doom and gloom on this team next year though. If Parker brings some magic pitching dust, we could still finish in the middle of the sec pack and make a regional. Maybe it?s my maroon glasses, but I still think this team without Montgomery can make tourney.

I can't see postseason play without Montgomery. Pretty much the entire staff has to make a huge jump, plus our lineup isn't incredible without him. He's a huge piece! We gonna have to score a boat load to win.

Can?t and won?t argue with that view. It?s not looking good.

Well, if what u say or think then whatever money was available for zHolman should go to Montgomery also.

What a disappointing closure for 2023. Why didn’t we sign pitchers at least in Juco this spring? I think not having pitcher coach on board right after season set us back. Think how long it took to get Parker.

I think we better focus on football now. 8 or 9 wins would be nice. Making noise in NCAA for men and women basketball would be awesome!

We picked up a stud from Juco and another good arm.

Names? Not being a dick I'm just trying not to double count arms. Like is the "another good arm" the guy from Miami? He's a Cade Smith replacement

I agree with the end. Spend the baseball NIL on another sport, or just bank it till next year to help the new coach.

Even of we landed Montgomery we don't have the arms. We need waaaay more innings of pitching than we have. Why spend money on Montgomery to go 12-18 when we could spend it helping a good coach and let baseball go 10-20? Either way we're looking for a new baseball coach

[Saltydog]

Oh well looks like the ship sailed on Holman. No surprise IMO. We should've fired the great recruiter in May but then we had to keep the recruiting class together right or so some would lead you to believe but no worries, Lemo has a plan.

Well hell, a little sliver of somewhat positive news.

[Really Clark?]

I would spend whatever it takes to get bullpen help. The big armed lefty from Louisville would be a good start.

Well we should have plenty of NIL funds left to offer. Can't believe the Memphis 3B or the Miami pitcher required a big NIL payout.

We have more than enough money even adding Montgomery in the mix.

[Coach34]

You keep saying "2 best SEC pitchers" like that's what we went through.

In 22 we lost outer best arm, but Preston Johnson was our 2nd best arm.

We'll disagree there. Simmons had not allowed an earned run before he blew out in 2022.

[Coach34]

3 seed/barely a 2 seed. Parker will improve some arms, but the lineup won't be better and the staff will still be really bad overall. No starters to chew innings = bullpen gets weak really quick

I think one thing to keep in mind is that we will probably be WORSE in '25 than we will be in '24. So if Lemo can only get us to a 2 seed that fails to make a Super, then what's that say about '25?

With Montgomery- the line-up will easily be better in 2024.

Highfill 24 > Highfill 23
Hines 24 > Hines 23
Jordan 24 > Jordan 23
Mershon 24 > Merson 23
Larry 24 at worst equals Larry 23
Montgomery will at worst equal Clark and is likely a better defender
Hugesak will have more power than Led. Doubt he matches him in average or obp
Our Cali signee at DH could exceed Hancock 23....would not surprise if so

Line-up will easily be better with Monty

[BuckyIsAB****]

We will not be back until we torch the barn

[The Federalist Engineer]

Montgomery belongs at MSU, we even have an iconic building named for him.

[No BS Dawg]

All signs point to another disappointing season forthcoming. Sure, the guys we have will be better. Everyone else?s will too. Lemon has done and added NOTHING to suggest otherwise. Coming to terms with this now will make it somewhat easier to handle when it all comes to fruition and we start the rebuilding process with a new head coach in May 2024.

He threw 4.1 innings in the non con lol
