  1. I still don’t quite understand what South Carolina was thinking when they hired Mainieri last year. I’m sure he’ll get a second season but he’s about to be 68 and there is no excitement around that program.
  2. I think it’s as simple as 3 teams (UK, A&M and Mississippi State) are 10-14 and two of them play Missouri over the next two weeks and the other (Kentucky) doesn’t. That is who is likely to be left out. 13 SEC teams get in.
  3. Considering the number of teams already with 11 losses (several of which Texas holds the H2H tiebreaker over) and Tennessee/Vandy having a matchup upcoming, it feels like Texas can’t finish any lower than 5th if I’m doing the quick math correctly. Top 4 gets the double bye in Hoover IIRC.
  4. Are we sure LSU is a really good team? Their signature series win is against Tennessee who doesn’t look great themselves. Swept by Auburn, series loss to Texas, series loss to A&M and played no one worth a damn in non conference play.
  5. Kentucky will have to find 3 wins over the next 2 weekends to have any hope at a regional. Oklahoma at home and Vandy on the road. Going to be very difficult.
  6. Tennessee is in serious danger of dropping their 4th series in the last 5 weeks.
  7. In the rankings? Probably not. And that’s okay honestly. Get the #1 target off the back. Probably still the #1 overall seed in the tournament projections though.
  8. Georgia-Arkansas, Georgia-Texas, Texas-LSU, Texas-A&M, Tennessee-LSU, Ole Miss-Tennessee, Vandy-Georgia, Georgia-Auburn, Auburn-LSU Big time matchups all won by the home team. If you look at the heavyweight matchups this year, you have a huge advantage playing at home. Several of those were sweeps.
  9. We were blown out before we even had a chance to throw a punch on Thursday and Friday. We were outclassed in every sense of the word and I am highly skeptical a motivational pep talk earlier in the week or a hype video would have changed the outcome. It’s just really hard to win on the road in this league. Time to move on. We allowed ourselves a mulligan with how we played for 21 games up to this point.
  10. My hot take for the day is I really don’t think LSU is that good. I don’t see them as a slam dunk Omaha team some do.
  11. Maybe it’s the glass half full thinking but the swings have been much better today up and down the lineup.
  12. We have good arms but we don’t have premium stuff as a staff. We have 1 guy who throws harder than 93-94. Everybody else is getting by on pitch-ability and breaking balls. That doesn’t make hitters shake in their boots even if they are good pitchers.
  13. Burns should have never been allowed to start this inning. Really bad pitching management today with the best pitcher in the series fully rested and available.
  14. Just gonna let Volantis rot down there? Burns shouldn’t have started this inning and definitely shouldn’t have got another batter after 2 walks.
  15. It got to the point where it was hurting recruiting. It is still the most pitcher friendly park in the league by a mile.
  16. Their hitters are better. Really might be that simple.
  17. This is the best lineup we will see this year 1 through 9. As stated above you can’t expect a college pitching staff to go an entire season without walks becoming an issue at some point.
  18. For someone who throws 96 Burns just does not miss a ton of bats. The swings always seem comfortable.
  19. Not even the batter thought that was out
  20. Grubbs has no feel for his fastball today. All breaking balls
  21. Only need 17 today to match our 2021 Arlington record of 46 in a weekend
  22. Hard to believe he was seen as a huge draft risk 2 years ago out of HS.
  23. Gasparino and Borba will get the point. No reason to prolong punishment. Also, trotting out Duplantier and Winfield sounds not fun.
  24. I think an ideal scenario is Grubbs gets you into the 5th or beyond and Volantis takes it the rest of the way.
