what's yall's opinion of the new infield and home plate area this year? am i wrong in thinking that baseball is to be played in the DIRT. probably doesn't have a damned thing to do with how we are playing but, you got to play ball in the dirt. ain't much on the new brick either. piss on it.

i think the carpet is an abomination to baseball. i would feel much better about it if all the foul territory minus the base paths were carpet, but the whole thing reeks of terribleness. think about it....a full trip around the bases requires 90 feet of carpet, 180 feet of dirt, then another 90 feet of carpet. so m-state-ish us to do it the way we did. im sure cohen and all the officials love it, but i cant stand it. i do however like the brick.

The turf is ok. Looks better than the filthy logo we've had behind home plate in the last few years.

The team will figure it out eventually. The young pitchers are making a lot of mistakes that cost us several runs early in the game. And I think the defense will improve greatly as the season goes on.

Holder apparently has some sort of finger issue. I hope that gets fixed soon.

We will be very good once this team figures things out. I just hope we aren't below .500 when we finally do.

I'm tired of this whole 'baseball' thing

Happening to us and ready for us to make other teams say 'that's baseball.'

At this point I tremble to think of what some SEC teams will do to us. I am imagining 17 run innings from LSU and Vandy.

All I know is it seems to be playing havoc with our catchers. They can't seem to stop anything thrown by our pitchers that hits off the stuff.
