re: Official Adam4848 Baseball Preview Feb 11th (SEC Preview) *PAGE 25*

He just does weird things with players and game situations that don't make any sense. The guy really does not understand baseball percentages at all, and he also often misses the bigger picture about preparing players early in the season for late season roles.

I think I've said for a couple of years now, the guy reminds me of a Steinbrenner type. He's authoritarian, and he makes a lot bizarre quirky decisions that don't make much sense, but at the same time, he is absolutely in control of his program and focused on winning championships. You gotta take the good with the bad.

Also, I'm not sure if he's a nice guy IRL or not, but at least with Mainieri I know that he'll always protect the PR image of the program and not embarrass the fans, and that's something I respect very much.

I do think he's got a great shot at challenging for a national title this year, or at least as good a shot as any other team. So unlike last year when I was kind of worried about the hitting, this year I'm much more positive. I think this team will be really really good.
