worried about Baseball season
- Thread starter tbaydog
- Start date
Basketball has been a little down since the sec schedule, but we're still top 25. We started 2-5 in the sec last year before finishing 9-9. I expect us to improve quite a bit down the stretch this year too... esp since Woodard and perry are getting better every game
The law of conservation of energy doesn't allow for us to have success in all three sports in the same academic season. But two disappointing but semi-successful seasons leaves plenty karmic upside for success in baseball.
I am pretty sure the Baseball team caught lightning in a bottle last year to go as far as they did. Keep in mind, they were one last week Nd sweep from having a losing record and sitting at home.
If this year’s team has just one regular weekend less success than last year we will ALL be very disappointed.
We could have a considerably “better” team this year and not have a trip to Omaha. But as an old Baseball Coach once said, “That’s Baseball!”

Any reasonable person can see that the talent was always there. We beat up the best teams on our schedule and dropped some of the worst. Prototypical of a talented team with lack of leadership. As much as you can say we got lucky, I can say we made our own luck.
A lucky team without talent doesn't sweep an elite Arkansas and Florida, go 3-1 against an elite Ole Miss, win a Super Regional at Vanderbilt, and win two games in Omaha.
Nah, we're going to win Natty's in all 3, make that 4, sports one year! "It could happen."
Or maybe, that's just the Natty Light talking.**
I have no worries about our baseball team at all right now. During this basketball season, where we all seem to freak out over each loss (I know. It's the way we lose.) I've actively tried to figure out why I have almost zero trepidation about the Diamond Dawgs.
I don't know if it's because the season hasn't started; or if I've been burned by basketball too much over the last decade. I have high hopes for them, yet not necessarily lofty expectations. I'm not in Omaha or Bust mode.
Perhaps I'm excited about a new coach & a brand new DNF. I feel like the last two years we overachieved, the core of those two squads is still on the roster, & they've learned from that.
I also love the idea that we have a full time catching coach.
Why wait to worry about tomorrow when you can start bitching already? MSU Fanbase

And we played ALOT of true freshmen. I’m cautiously optimistic that we might possibly be very very good. A lot is going to depend on how a handful of pitchers perform.
Last year was such an unexpected and pleasant surprise I'm going to do my best this year to just root for them and hope they send Jake and a few others out with another tourney run. If not, so be it.
That said, I really hope Lemonis is the guy. Be nice to check "solid head coach" off the list.
