Since we had a walk off win in the first round, I think we need a thread!
So we have USM today at 4. I’m off work, so if this is on tv, I’m gonna take a baseball nap.

May be at 6 if this Texas State and Georgia State game doesn't find a fitting conclusion. There has been some GREAT baseball at Riverwalk, and it's a testament to how good this conference is.

I think it’s the fact this thread even exists.
Or we could encourage Skyler to have a quicker hook. Five straights hits — maybe after three, you start to pull?

What I mean is that our coaches are leaving guys in too long. It has happened quite a bit lately. Stewart should have been pulled a batter or two earlier against App yesterday, and Fruit shouldn’t have come out in the 9th.
Today, Ross gave up five consecutive hits. Maybe he should have been pulled after the third in such a tight ballgame.
I know there’s believing in your guys and I know there are depth concerns, but the margin for error in this league is too small. Read the room.

From an Ugly standpoint this kind of feels like LSU. Nobody gives up this many runs after dominating the game early.

I don't care how many strikeouts they get or what their pitch velocity is... none of that matters when you can't keep anyone from scoring runs.

Wow. That got ugly fast. Hope they recruit some pitchers next year. I want to recruit a new coach that knows what he's doing, but I know that won't happen. Meade better have a MAGICAL frikkin' season next year! He better have Jeannie, Samantha, and Gandalf in the dugout AND angels in the outfield! We better see super regionals next year or send him a moving van. I'm so goddang sick of excuses.

We finished third in the fifth best conference in the country, making a Regional and y’all want to fire him??? You guys are a hoot.

Because what happened this year is the way it's going to stay. Somewhere in the top half of the league, never winning the regular season, crapping out at the end of the season, blowing the tourney, no invites. Not to mention blowing off P5 games, ALWAYS losing the series to south, and it's not going to get better. If it does, I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm out of hope and faith.

Well, look at all the rest our pitching staff is going to get before the Regional.

We finished third in the fifth best conference in the country, making a Regional and y’all want to fire him??? You guys are a hoot. I get it. It’s so frustrating being on the cusp of awesomeness and not consistently get there. Making a regional in year 2 is a good step (if we indeed make it — I think we will), but this may be one of our weaker teams to have that accomplishment: 1. Only two solid starters with a complete lack of a third trusted arm. 2. Only two decent arms in the bullpen, and those get overextended so they’re not quite as effective as they can be 3. Some of the weakest fielding in program history. I’d like to say our RPI positioning is solely based on an 11-0 start, but you can’t look at those things in a vacuum. These boys have earned a regional spot, I think, and we should celebrate and enjoy it. We have enough stacked against us as a P5 school. But this team has a lot of holes to fix to reach that level of consistent regional appearances we all desire.

Wait, is the regional invite on the desk right now, or are we just talking about it?

Knee jerk post, as usual. Swig an adult beverage or two, sleep on it and Monday is a new day, Jeez.

But with this team’s gross inconsistency, it would be a miracle if we got out of it. But I’m in country, so if it’s in the South I’ll be there cheering. Anyone know where they’re predicting we are going ?
