    Some people are raising the bar

    On where we are as a baseball team and it?s not fair to Lemo. Earlier this season everyone would have been pumped at the idea of winning 14 sec games. Now we have people moving the bar saying if we don?t host then it?s a bust. That?s not fair. Some of you just want Lemo gone. We could host and you will still move the bar. Just stop. Good coaches improve after tough years. He has. We are a MUCH better team than we have been in the last two years. Enjoy it. Accept Lemonis actually a decent coach and drop it. If we don?t make the tourney I?ll eat my words. But if we make the tourney the man has done a good job this season. If we don?t make it then fire him and I?ll be the first one to say it. But stop moving the line.

    There are so many threads of them saying no way Lemon makes the NCAA's it doesnt matter. There is no bar raising.

    Lemon failed in the portal
    Lemon has lost the team
    Bucket, Bucket, Bucket
    State should never lose in baseball
    We had 4 coaches in 4 years-there is no way that had any kind of impact on the program.
    There is no way we will win 14 games and make the NCAA Tourney

    You might want to stop singling out players and saying they shouldn't see the field.

    Bad look for you as a minister bringing a holy message.

    A couple of guys that were considered of no worth to this team have since had big moments that contributed to wins.

    There was some dude saying Lemon should be fired if he starts Bryce Trout then Bryce hit a 3 run homer to turn the tide vs LSU.

    I can deal with him at DH vs LHP's in the 8 hole. 5 hole and in Left is just bad coaching

    And to add- Lemon did it again Sunday and Trout went 1-5

    Just stop. That’s so played. That has nothing to do with the point at hand.

    My stance still stands that he needs to make a super regional or at the least get put out in the very last game of a regional. No excuse to not be a top 32 team at least once in 3 years at MSU.

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion but if we make the tournament, he's not getting fired. Nor should he.

    I'm not concerned about hosting. He needs to make a Super Regional though unless he wins the SEC or SEC Tournament.

    We'll see how is plays out.

    I’m not sure why people are upset with Lemonis this year outside the Austin Peay series. Everything else has been fairly good and we are definitely trending after that to make a regional

    Braden Montgomery > Bryce Chance. Lemonis had 2 opportunities to get Montgomery and failed both times

    If we barely sneak into a regional and don?t advance or go 0-2 in regional play I can see him getting shown the door.

    I like Lemonis and hope he wins big this season and beyond here but I don?t want to get stuck in a middle ground of non interesting subpar baseball all because he made the tournament after 2 of the worst years in MSU baseball history.

    It's a message board, I don't see the problem with being right or wrong, but to keep beating the drum on ones opinion is not good. I think some of you folks aren't married, LOL.
    I do think we all want Msu to win. I know I do regardless of who is the coach.

    I'm one that doesn't trust him to turn it around, but your bar is higher than mine. If he makes a regional at all, even as a 3 seed, I'm personally ok with keeping him another year. It would be improvement, and that's all I really want to see. The last 2 years and the first part of this season weere stale turds with zero improvement. Now, if we were a 3 seed and he got fired, I wouldn't cry.

    If we're a 2 seed, I can't see him getting fired. And I'm fine with that. But we need to get back to our standard of being in the conversation to host most years going forward.

    The OP is wrong. I've said all along (and so have many others) that just barely making the Tournament is not enough for Lemonis to keep his job. 14-16 has never been good enough. It's host (or at least barely miss hosting) or get out.

    What happens if we make the regional as a 3 seed playing say in Hattiesburg and lose 2 straight? Pretty sure it would be a tough call, but maybe not. In today's world coaches are paid good money and fans expect more. I read on ED all the time about how "we Msu fans" except or do things in typical Msu fashion. In saying this I hope we win and make some noise, as many have stated "let the season play out".

    Hope we win the series against the Aggies!
