Our path to a Regional...

[Todd4State]

Stevens has thrown 4 pitches since March 12th. I dont think we are going to use him in a pitching role

And not doing stuff like that is why they're about to get fired.

[Todd4State]

Have they considered having Cupp lead off?

And they need to just stick with Sanders at second. Same offensive production but better defense than Reeves.

1. Cupp- highest OBP on the team. Give him a chance to lead off.
2. Noah Sullivan- best hitter and has more walks than K's
3. Reese- leads team in home runs
4. Downs- great power numbers and breaks up left hand hitters
5. Nolan Stevens - has second highest average on team
6. Chance- needs to see as many fastballs as possible
7. Hines- he can use the whole field!!!
8. Highfill- best catcher we have and is leading team in steals
9. Sanders- hitting almost .400

This is what our lineup should be.

We win either way now... if we do somehow turn it on and make a regional after this start, then lemonis did a good job and gives us hope he's the guy. If we don't make a regional, we get a new coach.

We would have to win a regional pm the road for me to have hope in our staff

[Cowbell]

I like the Kohn/Stone paring. That gives us a good shot on Fridays.

Preferably paired with an offense that can mash

We should be 3-0 on Friday's/game 1's. We're 1-2.

[Cowbell]

We don?t have the pitching.

We have one starter.

Yep - we are pitching middle relievers in starting roles. We should set aside $1M for two starting pitchers. It would be the difference to make up for below average coaching

[Cowbell]

We should be 3-0 on Friday's/game 1's. We're 1-2.

The problem with this team is they always lose games they should win but never win games they should have lost. There has to be balance in that to even be average.

Like Cupp at lead off. At least give him a shot like you say.

Hate where Downs and Hines are. However appreciate the out of the box thinking.

Both games we lost and had the lead and couldn't figure out that Hungate and McPherson didn't have it.

It's a management issue.

I don't like him hitting there either to b me honest. I'm just working with what we have. I don't know if Hines can handle the pressure.

Hines has been the best hitter on the team the last 8 games

[TALL DAWG]

You lost me at regional

[BuckyIsAB****]

What about a path to the mythical regional final?? Its about as legendary as Loch Ness or BigFoot

[Todd4State]

Yes but can not handle pressure. I want to keep him where he is so he can continue to rake.

Hunter needs to stay where he is. I'm still perplexed why Freis hasn't seen more PT. Heck he was pretty dam good at leadoff then Lemon just took him out of the lineup,.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Settling bullpen roles and finding a lineup would work wonders.
Season is half way over. FIO

This is the truth. Lemonis refuses to define roles until April every year. I understand not giving up on a kid after the first weekend, but these roles should've been defined and a lineup settled on in March.

The sad thing is, the Lemonis apologists(and there's still a couple out there), will tell you this. They'll say we are young and next year is our year.

18-12, This was my super-fan maroon prediction when I thought we had something more than just Pico ready to compete. So 14-16 is about where MSU ends up, with original assumptions. That's with winning 6 of the last 7 series. Key is Evan Siary being #2 and winning. Ligon has to be replaced as #3. But Pruitt and Davis are not the answer. In 2024, MSU needed a good transfer Starter rather badly last summer. Arkansas got Zack Root and the Bettlejuice kid. Completely whiffed on transfer Starter.

Pitching is the biggest factor to reach 14 SEC wins.

Nailed it!
