This makes no sense. Freshmen should be and are expected to play like freshmen until they are no longer freshmen. Anyone expecting a deep run into the post-season was foolishly deluding themselves with this team.

They are worse than I was imagining them being but you can't honestly say that you didn't see this being a possibility. Youve been around the sport too long and know too much about the game for that to be the case

I knew going into this season that all it would take was one starting pitcher going into a slump or going down with an injury for this to be a total rebuilding year. Unfortunately that pitcher is Lange so it hurts more.

But once again you will have to stop blaming youth next year because they'll be young all season this year. A regional appearance will be great. Hosting a regional will be far exceeding any and all expectations by me

Did you say that about Lange or Bregman or Nola (take your pick)? Those are the guys who are never expected to play like freshman. And i'm not even talking about them. The "regular" freshmen are expected to play like freshmen to start, but at some point have to shed that moniker and everyone (coaches most importantly) expects that to take place at some point in the season, especially those who play regularly. So who am I talking about? Gilbert and Duplantis... maybe Reid. We aren't so young. We play a few sophomores but no more than many other teams who are very successful. Does experience help? Of course... I said in this thread it's a legit description of this team. "Young" is not.

I don't pretend to know what will happen in the post season. I guessed at a 35-21 overall record. 15-15 in the SEC. I'm sticking to that for now.
