This statement regarding a warm seat has been made 1000 times on here already and the season has not even started. There are going to be legendary meltdowns on this board.
Nothing Wrong with Expecting 100% Effort and determining that wasn't given last year.
State should not be in rebuild mode given the success prior to last year
With the amount of resources we put in baseball that could go to more important sports, Mississippi State should never be in “rebuilding mode.”
So just your average baseball season on Sixpack.**
Very true. This thread is a perfect example. We got people on here saying we should never have a rebuilding season. Just a dumb statement in any sport but especially college baseball where there is more parity than any other sport.
I'm in line with this. Bottom of the league is never acceptable. Never. Two back-to-back seasons missing the post-season is never acceptable. Never. I don't want to hear **** about recruiting either. Tennessee has proved that you can build a great team in one years time in this age of college baseball. If Lemonis is the great recruiter he's made out to be, then he should be able to do the same. I know Foxhall won the assistant of the year two years ago, but his *** should be on fire going into this season. Jake should feel some heat as well. Our lack of pitcher development is disturbing. We'll all find our pretty soon if this roster turnover worked and if the train is back on the track. But another sub-par season is completely unacceptable.
I agree with you guys that we shouldn’t cycle so hard down, even in a rebuilding season. And you bring up a very valid point about the transfer portal. However, do you think Lemonis might would have brought in other pitchers had he known our Friday and Saturday night guy to start SEC play was Preston Johnson and Parker Stinnett? It’s not like the pitching staff he rolled out there much of the season was the plan. I know a lot of you guys won’t to say injuries are just an excuse and I guess that is where we agree to disagree. Obviously, he can’t keep having injuries detail a season.
Don’t disagree with you at all about last season and needing to reload in the off season. We all thought pitching could be a strength last year. However, I still don’t think State should have been that talent poor in pitching. There shouldn’t have been THAT big of a drop off as we saw.
