    We would not have a national championship without Will Bednar or Landon Sims. Those two won us that CWS.

    Will Bednar- 18.1, 22Ks, 3 ER
    Landon Sims- 8.2, 14Ks, 1 ER

    It amazes me people forget Bednar turned into Superman went 3-0 in Omaha. I guess its because he was a Lemon recruit that they forget that

    21 of those Ks came in game 1 setting CWS record for a game. Bednar was in a zone.

    Bednar was a top 5 pitcher on the planet for a two week stretch. I do not think we will ever seen anything like that again. Bednar went to a place that only about 2% of pitchers can go to.

    Obviously. But without TA we don't even make the CWS. He was the Alfa leader.

    I don't think anyone has forgotten this. But that only carries your job for so long.

    You told me that Lemonis didn't coach pitching. All credit to Foxhall.

    TA is a good dude. I?m not sure why the hate. I haven?t seen him say we shouldn?t have fired Lemonis

    I could see him coaching as well, he?s definitely a good hitting coach. And if you listen to him talk, he?s not anti-analytics. He?s anti it controlling the majority of baseball. It needs to be a balance.

    There are certain things that just can?t be measured.

    That wind in the first texsa game was hilarious.

    The back foot slider in the champ game was the moment i knew we were getting another special pitching performance. If we'd have let him go the distance he'd have thrown a no hitter, I have no doubt.

    The back foot slider is still just absolutely incredible. He literally made the guy swing at a pitch that hit him.

    That's what you have to have to win a NC. The hottest pitcher in the CWS. For once it was one of our guys. And we had the best closer as well. Those two things.

    Tanner Allen also hit the biggest home run in MSU history and Tanner Leggett had the biggest hit in MSU history as well.

    You know, the funny thing about baseball is I think once a team has achieved something it makes it easier to achieve IMO because the National Championship monkey is off of our back now. I think that's a big reason why we lost in 2013 even though we had a better team than UCLA. Our guys you could tell were pressing because they knew winning a NC would be the biggest thing in MSU sports history at that time.

    I think that's gradually happened with MSU. We made it to Omaha in 1971. Then we won a game in 1979. Then we had the best team there in 1985 and finished 3rd. Then we made the finals in 2013. Then we won it all in 2021.

    So, maybe we will something similar to that. At least similar enough to win it again.
