I'll say it again. That Ole Miss team had a bunch of injuries early on. Once they got healthy they went on their run. Completely different from this team, which just sucks.

Injuries vs youth and inexperience, there’s more than one reason teams can improve as the season goes on. The results the last two weekends still were not great, but there were still signs of improvement. They actually produced late in games and showed life even in the losses. The game today would have been a 10-run rule in prior series. That doesn’t mean they are a good team and I think there’s close to zero chance they make a deep playoff run. If they don’t continue improving, they won’t make the playoffs at all. I’m just not giving up on the possibility of improvement. I’m also not discounting the random nature of baseball that can produce unexpected results in short series.
