Not a very good team losing in short order to 3 and 4 seeds. Shows just how terrible our team was dropping 5 to those guys.

Not a good team at all. Hell, I think we could have scored more than 2 runs. Of course, we'd have given up a hell of a lot more than 4.

We would've given up more than 4 in just the 8-9 innings in each game

If the SEC still played the 7 inning double headers we might have made a regional.

Probably not worst two seed ever. The baseball committee lately is a clown show so I'm sure someone was worse. It would be hard to top their total distance covered geographically in getting bounced 0-2 though. Bakersfield to College Park, MD has to be over 2500 miles. You'd have to go 0-2 against Maine/San Diego State or Washington/Miami, FL to top that.

Maybe not even the worst #2 seed this year. East Carolina lost to #3 Columbia 6-3 and #4 FIU 2-0.

Maryland is good.

I completely forgot they moved to the Big 10.

If I understood correctly on the TV wrap up, their pitching may get thin even in the winners bracket. Today and tomorrow could be interesting in L.A.

No idea why Maryland would want to move to the Big 10 or why the Big 10 would want to add them. The ACC made out great on that deal, though. Huge upgrade to dump Maryland and replace them with Louisville.

Big Ten revenue > ACC revenue

Maryland with DC area viewers > Louisville area viewers

Those were the reasons. The bigger conferences aren't adding teams because of quality in the Athletics. It's all about viewers and dollars now.

Same story with Rutgers and the New York City/New Jersey markets.

This was not a very good team. One of the better coaching jobs by Bianco to get this team to the postseason. I look forward to next year.

Cohen got this UM team into the tournament as much as Bianco did. Without him, you're 26-26 and sitting at home.

Ole Miss baseball takes another step back next season. Losing Sucks Orifice and his power will hurt more than anything. Christian Trent and Jacob Waguespack will be drafted and leave. Brady Bramlett is a draft-eligible sophomore who may leave as well. Those, in addition to Scott Weathersby and Sam Smith, accounted for a whole lot of inning, basically all of them. The remaining positional guys are mostly role players as well. Will be interesting to see them without Sucks. If Bramlett does not come back I will predict a losing record for them.

Sucks Orifice? For Christ's sake, Goat. Oh and bye.

How many teams did you beat 4 times? I was really just joking. I agree this was probably Bianco's best coaching job, because this was probably the worst team he's had. Of course, he get's all the credit for not having much talent too though. It's been a long time since both MSU and UM have been this bad in baseball.

I'll never make broad predictions about position players year to year, because so many at this level take big steps in one offseason.

Our 2014 team is a great example. We had a lot of guys who had done very little in 2013. Bousfield hit 0.253 with 2 HRs, Orvis 0.237 with only 3 HRs, and Allen only 0.231 with 4 HRs. They went 0.336 with 6 HRs, 0.294 with 14 HRs, and 0.339 with 7 HRs in 2014. Austin Anderson also made a decent jump moving his slugging percentage from 0.386 to 0.454 between 2013 and 2014.

Then you have Benitendi at Arkansas who went from 0.276 with 1 HR last year to 0.390 with 18 HRs this year.

Point being, if you're returning hitters, you can't project based on the previous year, because some guys do just figure it out.

We are losing a good bit on the mound though. We've got some young guys with potential, but we'll have to have a number of them step up to be really good next year.
