I just have to say that it has been great for the past nine months having the WatchEspn/SEC+ channels to view our games on TV.(with the aid of the Apple or Roku box). This been very enjoyable to watch so many games on the big screen.

SEC+ is one of my favorite channels.

We must give up 6 or more runs to get him out of the game.

 

[Cocky4SC]

How is he a Friday night starter lately? No command and bad pitch selection

Hilarious. Posters have stated far less than this and you have drilled them for being negative...even seen you jump on the name-calling bandwagon. I guess it's ok to call out players when it's you who's doing it.

O no I'm just coming over to your side. K

 

[Cola G'Cock]

Serious question: how have we gotten this bad?****

[scifiguy94]

Funny, last time we won a Friday night game was Friday 13th.

how many outs?

 

[Cola G'Cock]

Okay, but what is he doing to make pretty good batters fail to hit

and good pitchers look terrible?

I is amazing a team with what appeared to have a lot of talent to progressively decline like this. At the rate they are going, they should just concede the rest of the season because this is not fun for anyone.

Dang it...we knot it up at 3, I go out to the fire pit to burn some boxes, junk mail, non-essentials, etc., come back and it's 7-4.

Now 8-4.

I never shoulda left!

I concur. Looks like this team is done.

Sorry...we still only have 3...they're still batting in the 5th

I am not trying to be negative but truly don't understand how a

team of highly recruited players could just collapse like this. We are playing poorly in all aspects of the game.

This is more than a slump; it is a collapse.

Re: I am not trying to be negative but truly don't understand how a

It is a "collapsing" coach to be more accurate, not just a collapsing team.

 

[Cola G'Cock]

Okay, specifically what has the coach done to cause the collapse? I am

as frustrated as everyone but trying to figure out what has happened.

 

[uofsc]

I don't even get mad any more. Just surprised when we win.

 

[Cybercock]

Re: Okay, but what is he doing to make pretty good batters fail to hit

Not sure what talent we ever "appeared" to have. I think this is where you are mistaken.
Talent is going elsewhere.

Are you blaming the decline on the trainers?

 

[Cola G'Cock]

Okay, I may have been wrong about our talent. Thank you for the

objective response.

 

[stevestrat2]

Somehow this is Whammy's fault!

 

[Cola G'Cock]

No, I am not sure what the reason is but as a poster above said, maybe

we never had a lot of talent on this team and my expectations were unrealistic from the beginning of the season. I just thought our recruiting had been good and expected a lot more than what we have seen in the last few weeks. I may have been wrong.

Holbrook has been called one of the best recruiters in all of college sports-not just baseball. We have talent. Did you see the money Crowe turned down to play here? We aren't "coaching up" the talent.

Pretty sure we just brought in one of the best classes in the country and our previous classes weren't chopped liver.

 

[sclawman77]

Yep, and if we aren't bringing in the necessary talent that falls on Holbrook. 3 years removed from a 3 consecutive national title series run. We should be bringing in the cream of the crop as far as talent.

[Cola G'Cock]

That is what I thought too. I know we lost some good players from

last season but never dreamed the drop off was this much to have a team playing like this.

Again, I am not out to bash coaches or players but just trying to understand what has happened to our team. We have become a very bad baseball team.

 

[Cocky kebo57]

Re: Okay, but what is he doing to make pretty good batters fail to hit

I bet will Crowe is wishing he had taken the money now.

 

[Cola G'Cock]

However, his performances lately have not been anything to brag about.***

I personal felt we would go down some after 2 NC and a runner-up. But this is bad.

 

[Cola G'Cock]

This has to be killing Ray Tanner but he is now ultimately responsible. He

desperately wanted the AD job. Now, it is time for him to earn his money.

 

[stevestrat2]

so we have 3 innings to score 8 runs and shut them down.....battle?

Has Ray said anything about how things are going this year, or any comments towards the season at all?

 

[Cola G'Cock]

I am not aware that Ray has made any comment at all about this season.***
