Embarrassing weekend

[Shamoan]

Wish this one had been on the road. SBW has become an exhibition of ****** baseball over the last few years. There goes the sec west and our shot at the sec title. Now, it's time to focus on fixing the problems by the time the tourney comes around and hope we don't see FAU or ATM again in the post season. They own our asses

 

[Philly Dawg]

We still have a shot at the west if we can win two out of three next weekend. Our schedule is very front loaded.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah no doubt. Might cost us a chance at a national seed though.

I don't think Hudson Sexton nor Pilkington were actually making bad pitches. Those mfers were just hitting everything. And is it me or does it seem that every big inning they had started on a screw up by the D? Our pitiful pitchers trying to field a bunt, a bad hop over the glove, a bobble in a grounder, a failed pick off. We gave up 30 damn runs and over 40 hits. That's killing a baseball right there and hard to beat a team hitting it like that. Tip your cap and move on.

I think the winner of the West will be somewhere in the (18-12) - (20-10) range.

Say we win our next 5 series (2-1). We finish 18-12 in the SEC. If we lose the series @ LSU and end up sweeping Missouri or Arkansas we still finish up 18-12. That will be enough to at least put us in the running for the SEC west at the end of the season. And if we can somehow sweep both we end up (19-11)

-If LSU wins all their remaining series (2-1) except Florida, they also finish 18-12.

-A&M would need to lose 2 our of their last 5 series to finish 18-12. They still have Vandy, Bama, South Carolina, and Ole Miss left. It's very possible they could lose 2 series.

-I really don't think Alabama and Ole Miss have what it takes this year to compete for the West.

Getting swept really hurts but it doesn't take us out of the hunt for the west this year. We just need to take care of business in a big way. We really need to find a way to get a sweep or 2 down the stretch.

I think we're going to be borderline to even host. National seed is completely out the window. RPI is #17, and the last month is going to hurt it no matter how we do. As of now, SEC hosts look to be 4 out of USC, UF, Vandy, A&M, and UM.

 

[Shmuley]

It seems we are who we thought we are.

 

[coach66]

Gonna have to tip my cap to their team. They

answered everything we threw at them. Tremendous hitting
squad they are. I still think we are decent they are just a lot
better and hot as hell right now.

 

[pmack65]

One major flaw with this team, pitching! No Sunday starter, middle relief or closer. If Rigby is the closer then use him as the closer. Problem with that there is no one who good enough for middle relief. If we had a legitimate closer we might have won today's game. TAM is a hitting machine or perhaps just against some of our relief pitching.

 

[coach66]

Tamu made UGA look silly and destroyed their Saturday pitcher who is

Legit. They are hot and you know what that means in baseball. I think UGA took 2 of 3 from USC
this weekend.

 

[57stratdawg]

BA and D1 had 5 SEChost sites last week. Our RPI is settling in. We'll likely finished between 10 and 20 depending how our last games go.

We are in the driver's seat to host.

 

[patdog]

We're gonna be a lot closer to 20 than we will be to 10. We WERE in the drivers seat to host. Now it's 50-50. Even if 5 SEC schools host, right now we're #6.

 

[Jdog.sixpack]

If You take a look at our upcoming schedule we may still find a way to play our selves out of the post season. LSU took three from Missouri. If we lose the series this weekend or get swept we may be looking at a big time slide.

 

[57stratdawg]

Jesus Christ. This is the most Bitchmade, Woe-is-me MSU Baseball fan thread of all time.

We got swept by a team that's spent the entire year in the Top 5, was a national seed projection preseason, and has lived up to the hype and now it's a bunch of "Here comes the slide!"

I think we're going to be borderline to even host. National seed is completely out the window. RPI is #17, and the last month is going to hurt it no matter how we do. As of now, SEC hosts look to be 4 out of USC, UF, Vandy, A&M, and UM.

UM is in no better shspe than we are, and we took the head to head. Right now it is UF and USC as locks to host, TAMU / Vandy as very likely and control their own destiny, and MSU / UM / LSU all in the same boat and battling for maybe one final spot. The latter three teams all need a little bit of help to get a host spot (or may need to hope 5 SEC teams are selected).
