HEY EVERYONE, WE JUST BEAT JAX ST!!! WAKE THE KIDS! TELL THE NEIGHBORS! GIVE SMARTT A BIG RAISE! WE'RE IN GREAT HANDS FOR YEARS TO COME!
What? Jax St had a losing record?
What? They already beat us once before this season?
How does any of that matter?! If you're not singing Smartt's praises by now you're just a negative nellie!

In my book anytime we beat that cess pool called Jax St it's a good day
The day is over now

You jest, but it was a win against a higher RPI team.

You jest, but it was a win against a higher RPI team. Troy's #156 RPI, defeated a #128 Jax State. We also lost to them earlier this year.
I'm not impressed.
I like the 4-game winning streak and am hopeful. But I'll wait and see what Troy can do against Florida State this weekend. It will take a new level of intestinal fortitude from this team/staff to beat them.

Or intestinal disease on their part to beat them. Hey it’s baseball, anyone can beat anyone on any given day. I have witnessed games where guys nailing pitches at folks and flukes by one team allows them to win over superior teams. So fortitude or gastroenteritis, we will take either.

Every program has its ups and downs. It hard to keep 18 to 21 focused and consistent. Yes, we want to win and that is always the goal but sometimes roadblocks pop up.
I say Coach will right the ship. He is a good coach.

I don't think Smartt is a bad coach. I am worried about the inconsistent results though. It feels like Troy is losing its baseball edge that it once had before. It no longer feels like we are the caliber of Coastal Carolina or ULL, who seem like they are always competing to win the SBC or seem crack the Top 25 every year or two.
This is his 6th season as HC. Only one season were we in the mix to win the SBC. Besides that though, we've been out of it. Under Smartt, we are 5-6 against Samford, 5-5 against Jax State, and 7-10 against South Alabama. We're falling behind among our in-state peers.

Beating FSU 1 out of 3 is better than getting swept but winning series is what baseball is all about, so going 333 is not what I am looking for as a fan! If we beat the 20 th rank team 2 out of 3 than we can build on that and it is huge for recruiting and momentum!

If we beat the 20th rank team 2 out of 3 than we can build on that and it is huge for recruiting and momentum! If the way the Trojans competed in all three games in Tally are any indication, we may have more to cheer for the rest of the schedule? The two L's were hard fought. The Seminoles were glad to see Troy leave!! (Barry McNight) Quotable – Head Coach Mark Smartt
"Our team played well. I hate that they didn't get rewarded with a series win, but Florida State earned the win today. Bay Witcher was great in the start, he gave us a chance to win. Ultimately, we couldn't do enough offensively throughout the series to win two out of three. I'm really proud of how we played here. We played the No. 20 team in the country toe-to-toe for three straight games. Give Florida State credit, they won the series two out of three."

Win the East Division title, or win the SBC Tournament, and I'll take a piece of humble pie.
Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up. I already did that, and was left disappointed. Just like football. Just like men's basketball.

Just like football. Just like men's basketball. That wouldn't even be enough for me. Remember the year Cunningham got the basketball team to the NCAA tourney? It was the worst year of Sun Belt basketball ever, as I recall. Even if he wins the tourney, the SBC will start improving next year and our team won't improve with them, and they may get worse. Kinda like another Troy team I can think of...

But facts, who needs them!
