Game 3 vs the Dirtbags

[bruiser.sixpack]

I keep seeing people post: “well we lost 3 starting pitchers and the best player ever” as an excuse.

In 2017, we lost 3 quality pitchers and and one of the 3 most prodigious home run hitters in school history and promptly only lost 2 non-con games and went to Omaha in 2018. Then, in 2018, we lost more quality arms, solid hitters and fielders, and in 2019, for the first time in school history went undefeated in non-con games and again went to Omaha. We lost “leaders” from last year’s team, but we have 5 guys that should carry us even if the four new guys give us nothing. Not a one of them has nutted up and said “okay, this is my team and we ain’t gonna stumble and bumble through non-con on my watch.”

In 2018 we started 3-5, losing to Texas A&M Corpus Christi & McNeese State. We finished #4 in the country after an improbable trip to the CWS. It's a little early to be panicking.

Engage in hyperbole much?

I clearly stated the SWAC loss wasn't great, but it is a fact it was a mid-week game vs our mid-week pitching, and TSU has lost 3 games where they scored 5 or more runs. 5 of those 9 losses coming in were @ OU & @ Wichita State, both solid baseball programs. You really need to chill out and let things play out a bit or you're gonna have an aneurysm.

Lol Who’s not chill? You can be incredibly chill and point out Pollyanna BS. “Not Great” isn’t accurate. 17ing awful loss that will 17 us later is more accurate. Midweeks matter. Especially those that will be 250+ in the RPI and the way these guys are playing it won’t be the last one.

Last year half the fanbase wanted to bench Rowdy Jordan because he slumped so bad for about half the year. He is a streaky hitter. Always has and always will be more than likely. We have 2 other guys batting over .300 just like they always have. We have Tanner Allen who has been hurt. We have Hatcher who is slumping. Everyone else was a spot starter or is brand new to playing every day. Look around the SEC. LSU is struggling. Vandy is struggling. Arkansas has struggled some. It takes time for these young guys to get better. Florida went through an entire year of it last year. We have been an anomaly in a great way, but we aren't going to just hit on all cylinders every single year with this much turnover. Eventually it catches up to you. We may end up in omaha or we may end up as a 3 seed somewhere. I have no idea. I do know it's way too early to start acting like a full blown idiot.

I'm not sure where you get your facts, but the 2018 team lost 9 non conference games including a nice selection of the piss ant Louisiana schools. 2019 team was outstanding in non con, but did lose to USM.
