[Leeshouldveflanked]

Sweep Mississippi Southern

 

[Jgbishop]

Does anyone

know for sure that it is legit?

It seems that at this point, it's all just potential.

Potential that is coming off TJ for a large number of the staff... A pretty high percentage of those guys aren't the same their first season back statistically...

Make a regional as a two seed is the answer for this season IMO given the unknowns. Some reports that we should be significantly better than that, but I'm not overly confident of that on the front end. I do expect to be hell on wheels by next season though.

If they aren’t .500 or better in conference play I’ll think that’s a disappointment. Unless they win a Regional as a 3 seed or something like that.

I think we will have similar results to last year, but go about it a different way. Instead of losing games because of our lack of pitching, I think it flips this year and we lose a bunch of low scoring games because our pitching will be better and our offense will likely be worse.

Make the World Series. I thought we were a national baseball powerhouse?*

Tell Mr. Tommy Johns to GTFO

 

[thekimmer]

Logistical question regarding regional play. My understanding is that we will not host post-season play due to the stadium construction. If so, does that preclude us from getting a #1 seed or could we be the 1 seed at somebody else's place?

 

[HotMop]

play at Dudy Noble


It'll never get finished on time.

THIS! Omaha should always be our goal and we should be disappointed if we do not make it.

It's legit if for no other reason than we actually have a staff of pitchers that can pitch. Henderson made David Copperfield blush with the smoke and mirrors last year. I happen to think they are going to be pretty damn good as well, but that's FMA.

Not saying it isn't true but I haven't heard this. And it doesn't make sense to me either. We delayed start of construction this season for the camps to finish for goodness sake. And all the heavy lifting seems to have already been completed by now. All that's going to be lacking is premium seating....

 

[dickiedawg]

I'll be disappointed if we don't finish in the top 4-5 of the SEC and in the hosting discussion.
I'll be disappointed if we don't make the supers.

I'll be upset if we don't finish in the top 8 of the conference and earn a bye in Hoover.
I'll be upset if we go 0-2 once we get there or finish third or worse in a regional.

 

[patdog]

We could be a #1 seed in a regional hosted somewhere else. But I'd be very surprised if we took ourselves out of regional hosting considerations for the construction. We held up the start of construction till mid-June last year specifically so we would be able to host a regional if we could get one.

 

[KurtRambis4]

It's certainly

a full staff. Still unproven, mostly.

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

I concur. It's certainly somewhat unproven, for the most part.

 

[AusTexDawg]

Secure a #2 seed in a regional and play in the regional final

 

[57stratdawg]

I think there are more questions for this team on offense. Which should fit Cann rather well, but last time I checked we were hitting around .225 in fall ball.

This is not true. If given the opportunity to host a regional, we will host it at DNF. This is coming from a current player and I believe has been addressed by Cohen publicly as well.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

This should be marked "OT".
