    #10 highest paid coach in America. He's just not producing for that salary.

    If it weren't for Justin Parker we'd be really bad.

    We got swept at home against a good team, games were pretty close, so about what I expected. We'll win some like these but we aren't going to host unless the easier schedule gets it for us.

    You expected to get swept at home? We are now 1-7 against any team with a pulse this year. That sucks.

    I did, why did you not? We're 35-58 in the SEC since we won the title.

    Yes, but 17-13 last year. Was hoping 2022-2023 were in the rear view mirror. Maybe not.

    Seriously? He's a major reason we got swept.

    Coach that Big Mouth Cohen couldn't get 3-0 over mid-pack Big 10 coach from Indiana(who won our NC with 4 other coaches' players including some Alpha dogs who several other coaches could have won with this bunch). Serious question, if we ever do let Lemonis go, will he ever coach in the SEC or another conference that plays big time college baseball or does he just sit on the multi-millions if he has made good investments? If we have a horrible baseball season(again), and baseball revenue falls, will the university be able to fund our football program this fall?*** We still have a beautiful $60 million dollar baseball stadium with a 4 star restaurant in left field to feed opposing fans and their players.***

    This is our program now and the odds of Lemonis getting fired if he makes post season is nothing. He might not get fired if he misses it either with the settlement hanging over our broke asses. Hell, they're about to build the Lemonis Shrine aka a restaurant at The Dude.

    2 things that I just don't understand. 1. The Lineup is always a work in progress. If you have a player who is slumping then sometimes you move him around the order till he finds his spot. 2. There are 2 positions where the players def skills can outweigh his batting, SS and Catcher/ If you have a SS who can cover and shutdown between 2nd and 3rd and throw a dart to 1st then put him leadoff where he can walk or bunt to get on. Guys like that are super quick. A catcher who can block and keep balls from going past him and who can throw a lazer to 2nd from his knees is also a keeper, 7th or 8th. If your 1st baseman is a blackhole esp with RISP then he either goes to 7th or 8'h of you find someone who is 6'4" or taller who can stretch and can hit and put him at 1st. There is no excuse on keeping Freis on the GD bench. The guy was money in the Leadoff. Heck if he has a big vertical leap put him at 1st. All he has to do is throw the ball to the pitcher.

    There are only two careers you can totally be a failure at and not be fired, apparently. A meteorologist and Mississippi State head baseball coach.

    If 99% of us failed at our jobs as bad at Lemonis, we would have been fired years ago.

    We need football to show a good jump and invest there, Fingers crossed lol
    Until we start hitting fans in the pocketbook for that damn outfield party, I'm not worrying much about baseball. It's about sharing sausage and getting way more than football fans get for their money. That's got to stop. Our delusional baseball fans can't even see we're barely better than USM and OM baseball is right on our heels. It's not an elite program, it's a 17ing party and more about the damn stadium.

    I love baseball, but this isn't 1985. For me to worry about an elite baseball program, football has to find footing and the football fans are getting killed money wise to basically help pay for baseball. It's time the people getting cheap rides in that outfield pay up big if they're so called omitted to baseball.
