For the people throwing in the towel WAY too early

This team has the experience and talent that can match any other team in the country, but they have underperformed in "must win" games with 4 SEC series left. For people throwing in the towel and saying its too late to catch fire, laughable.
Series @ gumps: They are flat out bad. 2/3 would be a disappointment. We sweep with one game being close.
Series Vs. USC: National TV for 2 games, the box will win us this series. USC's only SEC series wins are against Tennessee and the gumps...combined 7 SEC wins.
Series Vs. Auburn: Great team that has swept Florida and just took 2/3 from Arkansas, but their ace is needing rest already due to past injuries. We will need to play like the team we all thought we were. Comes down to a massive rubber match.
Series @ State: Andy has them hitting. Or at least Rooker hitting. After seeing the way they "swept" the gumps I like our chances, but wins are wins. Tough environment, but we have been there done that. 2/3 IF Lange is vintage in game 1.
We also play the tourney, where CPM excels. If wins are needed for a natty seed, there will be opportunities. These guys didn't all come back to play like this; and negative feedback will only make it worse.

We heard all the optimism about football when Miles was coaching but in the end, his tendencies and bad habits won out. Just because you wish something or talk optimistically about anything doesn't man it will happen. You have your theories about how this season will play out and it may happen but I have 8 years of Paul letting us down in the post season to back me up. I have 8 years of piss poor pitcher management, cold bats in the post season and season ending losses Houston, Stony Brook and etc. It's not that we lose in the post season, it's that other teams are more consistent and look far better than us when the season is on the line.
Explain that to me and what Paul has done to change it. Then I may buy in your your carefree optimism simply because you wished it.
In the end, Paul will go down just like Miles. He will even have his blind followers supporting him and saying we are crazy, who is better and etc. just like Les.
No change = same results

It's basically over for this team. They just aren't that good. I am not saying they are terrible but they have too many issues to make a real run. Going into the year expectations were to have a deep Omaha run. That just doesn't happen with a team that has very shaky hitting and unreliable pitching. At this time just getting to a super looks like the high end projection for this team.

It all comes down to who's playing their best ball in May.
UVA's 2015 Championship team needed the last weekend of their season to even make their conference tourney.
I feel these next 2 weekends can/should allow us to gain some momentum going into Auburn and State.

I don't think this is a crazy statement. But, at what point in the season (any point) was this team playing good enough ball to make it through a super regional?
In my opinion, we haven't see that all year...and it's not that early.
If this team turns it around, we will be seeing baseball above what we've seen all year. It will be a true change...not just putting the pieces together.
I struggle to find the strength of the team. It really looks like we have one elite bat and no elite arms.

I was thinking of making a "Still on the Bandwagon" thread, but this one serves the purpose.

wtf is negative feedback? I hope you aren't talking about the fans bitching about our hitting and our pitching. if you are, I just have one thing to say..."our players are pussies if they let negative talk affect their performance". the negative feedback they ARE INDEED getting is not being able to bring a run home with players on third base with zero to one out. that sir, is pitiful performance and has been a huge problem all year.
i'll be happy to dish out negative feedback. our pitching has regressed badly, esp in big games. our walks are way, way, way too high which indicates we have huge control issues.
so yes, I have thrown in the towel. we will probably make a regional and may even host it. imo, that's the very best we can expect this year.
and, by the way, it has been a characteristic of PM coached teams to improve as the season progresses. this ain't happening this year. I honestly do not blame him for this teams shitty play. our seasoned veterans, pitchers and hitters are letting this team down big time. right now, I think it would have been better had they not returned and we let the youngsters have the team.

The last thing these Tards here want is for LSU to put it together and make a serious late season run. That would mean they were "wrong", which is really all they care about anyway. They would have to stay off this board way too much and have to eat too much sh*t for being negative clowns all the time. A much improving LSU team that they've already buried would be their death march.

Mainieri in the paper after the KY series:
“We have the same SEC record we had through 18 games a year ago and we finished strong last season, so this season is going to be defined by how we play over the next few weeks. Things can change so quickly in this league from week to week, and we still have 12 very important conference games to play, along with our three remaining non-conference games.”

Yeah we still have a shot at a national seed... if we go on a 12-game winning streak leading into the Miss. St. series

They gave State everything they wanted in Starkville.

No, not even close. Give it up, this ship has hit a reef.

If we don't sweep Bama I will officially throw in the towel on this season.

It's pretty much a must sweep this weekend
Posted on 4/24/17 at 1:00 pm to HoldThatTiger225
I'm not throwing in the towel already, but we don't have a QB, and I still don't have faith in Coach O. It's going to be a long fall.
