I’m shocked he was so confident last week. Did he not realize what 3/4 would do to us ? Thats really surprising for someone whose job it is to cover this.
Think I’ve heard him mentioning his projections are based on what they think will happen. They had wake as a 8-9 seed last week because they had wake winning that series against NC state.
Welcome to this team’s reality, gentlemen. Coming up short. Relentlessly.
When he's reporting facts or breaking news, he's the best. When he's giving opinions, you have to take anything he says with a huge grain of salt. His opinions are mostly biased garbage.
Our fans have been all over Teddy Cahill for not being nearly as confident of our hosting chances as the D1 guys and it now appears that Teddy maybe knew what he was talking about.
Yeah, that was wildly optimistic. We’ll be a tough out as a 2 seed somewhere. No way this team decides to magically start to step up up in Hoover.
Oh I actually think our pitching is generally fine. It’s the offensive depth and poor situational hitting and base running that is the bigger concern.
No idea who Teddy Cahill is, but we were always going to be borderline at 4-0. And with this team, 4-0 was never a given.
That too.
I think we’ll repeat what softball did this weekend. Stephen beats the 3 seed, Cintje loses a close game vs the 1 seed, then the 3 seed takes us out pretty easily.
Yes! We going 0-fer! Clutch is not in the makeup. Need Elijah and Mayor...someone to get it done and pull everyone the right way.
I’m thinking it’s the blown leads. Austin Peay, Arkansas twice, OM, Florida twice, South Alabama, Vandy (which we came back and won). Loo and Stephen really elevate our stats because they have been so good.
Our pen is trash and we don't have a 3rd starter. With Hujsak healthy, and Powell at C, our lineup is pretty decent.
This. We have 2 good starters. We don’t forget to play or become less clutch on Sundays. We don’t have a quality arm going to the mound on Sundays.
We all want to win this year, and we can. It’s the whole of the program that is concerning.
Yes everyone could win if they always scored more runs. But at some point you need a pen. We blew a 4 run lead against FL and OM after T8. We blew a 6 run lead to Arkansas after 3 innings. If you want to be good and have really good years you have to win those n
You just described a sixpacker.
And UCSB moving to 10 in the RPI.
It’s not one of our all time great pens but Davis and Auger have been very good and others have had nice moments. Our starting pitching on Fridays and Saturdays has helped a ton.
We’ve finally seen a little life out of the bottom of the lineup. Powell, Larry and Pulliam have hit 10 HR’s since Hujsak went down. Not bad.
One issue lately is Mershon is struggling again. He has to pick it up.
I would accept us just using “ghost man” base runners like it’s a kickball game on the playground with a handful of friends
he went 6 for 15 last week
