It's a damn shame

[KurtRambis4]

we couldn't solidify our Sunday starter, earlier in the year. Our inability to do so, until 4-5 weeks into the slate, may have cost us an SEC title.

Unfortunately, we are in the position of relying on a mediocre OM squad to beat a very very good A&M.

I would say that the easier solution would be not to pull your No. 2 starter with a one run lead and under a 70 pitch-count on the road... but Kevin O'Sullivan may have the brilliant idea to make that very move in a similar situation and cost his team the SEC championship. So, that's not the best example.

That is just part of it when you don't have that player to start the season. You have to find him. We also had a lot of errors on Sundays early on for some reason.

Bigger pity that we didn't take care of businesses against the milkmen. Should have never left it up to TSUN. Man that was poor performance on SBW.

This team was very much a work in progress early in the season. I think Cohen and Johnson have done an outstanding job getting the team to come together like it has. Really, a better job than we had any reason to expect (probably even better than engie thought). Sure, I would have loved to have had the team in March we have in May, but that's just not easy to do with so many true freshmen and new players contributing so much.

We are playing well at the right time....

In an odd way, I don't mind this team having something left to prove (at least in their own minds) after the regular season. How many times have we watched teams achieve a goal before it's all over and let down?

Yes, at this point, this team is better than I thought it would be. Though the only real surprise is Mangum and the fact that it's Pilkington stepping up instead of Breaux, Small, Ford.

Even though I always base that opinion on as much as I can possibly gather and interpolate, it's really damn rare that you can go player by player and have them all live up to expectations. Equally as rare as going player by player and having none of them(sans Robson) live up to my expectations last year.

Agreed. We didn't play good baseball on Sundays for about a 4-6 weeks. It was very easy to say "the pitching sucks", and im as bad about it as anyone, but the reality was we would get beat in at least two of the three phases each game.

Anyway, here's to 6 shut out innings from Pilk today.

There's a number of instances

we can analyze, and say it could've altered the outcome.
