Glad that you are into moral victories. Is Kingston your daddy?

I didn't see a sad effort these last couple of games. This team is capable of beating the best and losing to teams we shouldn't. No predictions here for any CWS play. Anything can happen and we're very streaky.
I did. Did you not see all the unforced errors?? They let #11 seed LSU beat them twice. They blew big leads. Today the blew an 8 run lead, 8!! IMO sad effort!! If you think it was a stellar effort, Good for you!!
I think we played 5 days straight and beat some of the best teams in the country along the way. LSU has 40 wins and is a good baseball team who got a day off yesterday. They also beat many good teams this week. We made errors. They made errors. We lost a close one.
Super weird that we can survive that many days of a tournament and go further than anyone would have guessed yet finish up feeling like we are worse off than I thought. Didn't see that coming
Well said. It sucks to lose like that. Gotta come back with same intensity next week and shore up the defensive miscues.
Maybe you are correct. I am just pissed at how they lost, this team should have beaten LSU both times!!
It's definitely not the way you want to lose! I'm not going to put it all on the players but I wouldn't want to guess how many times pitchers go through fielding a ball and throwing to first base, it should be instinctual, but pressure factors in, that's baseball. Same thing with getting your glove down at first base, I played 3 or 4 years of Little League, I can't remember hearing anything more than "keep your glove down" I assume Casas thought the hop was going to come up and it didn't, but if he had kept his glove down it would have saved a run or two! It's the same thing at third, if you can't field a ball cleanly at least try to get in front of it and keep it in the infield, they don't call it the hot corner for nothing, I would think a ball is hit harder to third than any other position, it's a tough position, I played a little and having one get by you can get in your head. I think Kingston realized that and pulled LeCroy for that reason, unfortunately, Ellis wasn't much better. I guess my point is you can coach certain plays to death and in a split second the player has to make the play and sometimes it doesn't go your way and then again maybe our guys just aren't up to top SEC baseball standards.

Done deal, he is fired! ... and the players that stay here just got better
I don't want to give Ray too much credit because he hired Kingston but he did the right thing. Too much inconsistency, poor player development, poor fundamentals like fielding errors and weak leadership.
Nope. It was something I had previously pointed out in a post that you liked. But we can rehash it again if you want.
Guess the sun does shine on a dog's ass sometimes. Really didn't think Tanner had the b*lls to fire him
I just LIKE all your Posts (lol)Nope. It was something I had previously pointed out in a post that you liked. But we can rehash it again if you want.
