It was bad weekend of offensive baseball. The pitching was good enough to win the the series, if not sweep. But the bats went cold. It happens sometimes. You wish that it wasn’t this late in the season, but I believe this to be the outlier, not the norm. I know it pains some of you, including Possum, for the teams to do well. It doesn’t give you much to complain about. I get labeled a sunshine pumper simply because I choose to not dwell on something I have zero control over. I suspect Meade, Wolgomot, Godwin and the rest of the staff know more baseball than this entire message board combined. I trust them to put us in the right spots to make a run in Montgomery and beyond. We have a little time to get right again. The bats seemed to come back to life late Saturday and some yesterday. I just hope we can adjust to what the scouting report on us at the plate. Record doesn’t reflect it but that’s a good Tx St team the took the midweek series against a very good Texas ball club. One thing Meade has shown he isn’t afraid to mix things up. Good pitching and timely hitting will win a lot of ball games.

We have the pitching depth for starters. Ross was our Saturday/Sunday starter last year and Brady Fuller was Friday night guy before injury last year. He hasn’t been has good since the injury. We just have to be more consistent with throwing strikes. You are lucky to win when giving 12 base runners. Win 4 of the next 6 to finish the regular season then 2 in the tournament and we will be at 40 wins. I get that. We just need to win these next two series (sweep is nice but 2/3 works) I said before the state series we needed to go 10-5 over the last five conference series. We are 7-2 over the last three conference series.

We didn’t choke. It was a good game against a good team. As good as this team has been recently, there is still some flaws with midweek pitching. We can still go tonTexas State this weekend, take 2 or all 3 and be just fine. I can agree with this. Our weekend guys are excellent. However when you get into tourney time, those mid week guys are the ones who keep you going while the others are on rest.. need to sure them up We have the pitching depth for starters. Ross was our Saturday/Sunday starter last year and Brady Fuller was Friday night guy before injury last year. He hasn’t been has good since the injury.

We simple just need to throw strikes and put the ball in play and good things will happen.

At minimum we need to spilt the next two weeks. I told a buddy we need to go about 10-5 over the last 5 series. We are on the way to that. Agreed. As of today, every game we have left is against a Quad 1 or Quad 2 opponent (factoring in home/away status) except next week's Alabama State matchup. We have an OK RPI, but it can get a lot better quickly if we get and stay hot. Even the Bama state game could be big if they win the SWAC. The Auburn loss is looking bad.

If we take two out of three this weekend, that RPI will skyrocket. I'd settle for one, though. At minimum we need to spilt the next two weeks. I told a buddy we need to go about 10-5 over the last 5 series. We are on the way to that.

Don’t wanna be negative Nelly but down 12 with a quarter and a half to go… is it the typical bright lights we can’t handle em Battled but missed too many shots down the stretch.

Big game in Huntsville tomorrow. It will be well attended so a little bit of a playoff atmosphere Toyota Field is cashless and clear bag. Also parking can be bought in advance for a discounted price through the clutch app.

Ole Miss star running back has entered the portal. He’s from Montgomery and played at Pike Road. I doubt we have a shot but never say never.

Stadium concessions get an F. Way too expensive for cold food. I absolutely love Protective Stadium (and Legacy Arena for that matter), especially in comparison to Legion Field but the concessions are unreal and not worth it, that I would absolutely agree with. What do you like about Protective? I’ve been three times now and have hated it each time.

Wonder if they add an athletic fee to student tuition or whatever. I don’t believe we use them do we? We did for on campus students. I don’t know about satellite campuses. I don’t think online did. I say make online and satellite campuses pay as well.

IF he leaves, has anyone thought about any candidates that should be on the short list for replacements? I haven't given it an ounce of thought until now. Matt Moore and Dell McGee

It is new. If you enter the main gate to get to most of the seats you have to walk up three levels of ramps. Concessions are awful and don’t move quickly. No parking. It’s my most hated stadium. The Vet is a million times better. So what level seats are the best to avoid those ramps. Jonesy sees dollar signs every time I push my fat arse up the stairs to my seats. Enter the stadium from the back gates. Use the north gates. Can’t post pictures from the app but here is a link to the map with gates.

I’ve never been to Protective. It’s a dump? Isn’t it relatively new? What makes it a dump? It is new. If you enter the main gate to get to most of the seats you have to walk up three levels of ramps. Concessions are awful and don’t move quickly. No parking. It’s my most hated stadium. The Vet is a million times better.

Is this field 99 yards, too? 🤔 No that was legion field lol. That still ticks me off. Never been to legion field but it can’t be worse than protective. It’s awful.

By the way when purchased tickets said would be emailed closer to event. Does anyone have idea what or when that means? I received a ticket in my digital wallet for a 12/1 game vs stAte. I called to see if it was a place holder for the title game and if I needed to do something with it to claim the game ticket. I was told that those were sent in error due to a “glitch” and that actual game tickets would be coming. I look for them to show up tomorrow or Wednesday. My credit card hasn’t been charged yet, so they haven’t processed yet. I just checked my Apple wallet and it says the same. But I know my card was charged. I’ll give it a few more days before I call. I want to say there was a glitch last year as well.
