I have yet to look at the schedule but I know we have Arizona St and USM our next 4 games.
Buy or Sell - This will be the last time we are over .500 this baseball season.
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Sell, but not an easy one.
I think we’ll have a nice run where we do something like sweep Alabama and win games 1 & 2 against Ole Miss and get our hopes up and think we’ve righted the ship, then we’ll get blown out in game 3 and lose to Southern (just Southern, not USM) and get swept by Auburn and lose the Governor’s cup again.

Sell.. I think we get 2/3 from ASU and maybe our nuts will have dropped by the time we play USM.
I'm no confident either way. Flashes of young talent but that doesn't equate to wins down the stretch. Maybe in two years but if we don't make post season run at least a super then lemonis might not see them make it
We will see Ross Dunn Friday. He was at FSU alway year. He was on a low pitch count last weekend. Only threw 46 pitches. Struck out a bunch last year. Walked a good bit too. Big talent.

Sell.
Btw, ASU had a losing record last year and Oddibe McDowell is 60 years old and not traveling with the team.
ETA...
Pat beat my meat to it.
Damn autofill

But points to you for bringing up a name I haven’t heard in years. How is that guy 60 years old? Guess that means I’m getting old too. He was a hell of a player.
McDowell was actually even better than I remembered. Forgot he won the Golden Spikes, a year before a dude named Clark...

Oddibe McDowell inducted into College Baseball Hall of Fame | ASU News
Oddibe McDowell was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame over the Fourth of July Weekend, the College Baseball Foundation announced.
What about Bob Horner. He’s even older at 65. Won Golden Spikes and then went straight to the majors with the Braves. Those ASU teams back then were loaded.
Sell. We are quickly coming to grips with the reality that many of our returning players are not going to get it done. Look for a full scale youth movement in the next few weeks especially on the hill. I look for us to be a middle of the pack team in a growing up year and will hover a few games above the .500 mark all season.
I'm gonna Sell. This team reminds me a lot of last year's team. We finished 26-30. I think this will be a rollercoaster of a season.
Sell, I'm ever the optomist but I think we will finish the above .500. Lemonis understands the gravity of the situation and last years players aren't getting it done. Last night gave me more hope for the season.
Sell, so much talent in the young crowd. Highfill needs to start at catcher. He’s better than Luke. We will have to go young on the pitching staff. Watched Lofton Tuesday. He is going to be very good along with Cijnaje, who is going to awesome. (I spelled that correctly?). We might win a few more with a youth movement; not the older guys.
If I had to bet the farm at this early juncture, I'd say we're looking at sub 500 this year which infuriates the hell outta me but I'm still hangin' on for hope's sake we turn the SOB around.
This is wild, I think we’ll get the pitching situation somewhat righted by moving Cijntje and Loftin to weekend starters by the time SEC play starts. We’ve been hitting well, and defense will improve
It will be a rollercoaster. A lot of 'that's baseball" shoulder shrugging throughout the season.
It will only truly suck if we don't get into a regional. It will kinda suck if we don't do well in said regional.
I'm resigned to the ride: enjoy the ups and scream you lungs out in frustration on the downs.

Buy, it is all about pitching and we just don't have it. It sucks and I hope I am wrong but sometimes you just have to look at it as we are who we are and I haven't seen a jump in pitching since last season.
