Basketball was so freaking miserable towards the last half of the season and now with this baseball season feeling much like the same.
Huh?
Basketball had big expectations (Simmons, Quarterman, Victor, Blakeney, etc) and we missed the tournament.
Baseball had minimal expectations (lost 8 of 9 position starters) and we're in line for a regional host right now.

People just love cross-sport comparisons on here, even when they don't logically work. There was someone in the game thread who was predicting the start of a baseball collapse down the stretch, not based on anything about the baseball team, but because football and basketball had both done it.

Isn't it really 7 of 8 position players, and a few who DH, and played multiple positions during the season like Foster and Chinea? Maybe it was the equivalent of losing 10 position players. Plus added a 3rd starting pitcher this year that matches up pretty well to opposing SEC teams but not all, unlike last year when no 3rd starter emerged or could perform well enough to maintain the spot? This team is about where I expected, they have spurts of good to really good play and a few too many WTF games that is typical of meshing a lot of first year starters until they gain much needed game experience versus good teams. The biggest surprise is the Lange struggles and hopefully he is trending back to last year performance-wise. The lack of a dependable all around 1B is an issue.
I didn't expect too much from basketball as many of the surrounding cast that couldn't add much with Mickey and Martin were still playing, but with the lack of defensive effort in many games I just quit watching.
