There aren’t sufficient words. Ok one, no.
That has nothing to do with their draft position. They possibly could have skipped college and been drafted. They are not drafting a team. Only an individual. Winning is good but not what makes them an MLB prospect.
We hit 91 HRs and scored 441 runs. Way more than our opponents. We just couldn’t pitch enough strikes to win consistently. It’s not that hard to understand.

Still too many walks, I’ll concede that (31) but 85 SOs in 64 (more than any other pitcher) innings is pretty damn good. 4.2 ERA (1.5 points lower than the team average). Major progress made year over year.
Underclassmen typically use that last year or two as leverage for a better contract, in that they CAN walk away and play college again. It’s about leverage in the draft not necessarily success statistically.

However, with Curiel, Milam, & Brown, might be better off walking away after this season. Here’s hoping they get offered crappy deals.

Typically MLB teams don’t really care too much about team wins and losses. But it does matter some.
Ha! Genetics exploitation???

Why is the sky blue some days and not others?

The question should be do we have coaches that can get the desired results. The answer is yes but not always. It takes overwhelming patience, which scarce here. Enter the expression, “that’s baseball”.

He was hired because of his attention to detail and his ability to coach hitting. He’s a winner.

Nothing about that has changed. When we have pitchers that can spot the pitches (we didn’t get that done this season) we win,…..a lot.

Coming off losing, likely, the best two pitchers in college baseball, we had a mountain to climb in that area.
Ha! The signs were there very early. We walked, hit batters, and wild pitched our way to an unprecedented pitching collapse as opposed to previous CJJ seasons. But we now have a better foundation to build from going forward.

I personally don’t see winning the SEC regular season as the primary goal. It’s a great way to build a national championship team though.
I have full support for CJJ. It doesn’t take many words.

I love his brand of baseball. We are always competitive at the plate. And, when we have pitchers that stay around the strike zone, we win.
In the SEC? Nah. If he didn’t get injured his stats would have been ugly. He didn’t walk as many but was knocked around a lot.

A&M, Georgia, & Florida would have blasted him into the dugout.

We need waaaaay better pitching than Moore.
He’s already said a few times that coaching pitchers is what he likes and isn’t interested in being a head coach.

I certainly don’t need any more proof that this man can coach baseball. It’s such a fine line between success and failure most of the time.

Anomalous problems with walks, wild pitches, HBPs, and errors, but this team has been competitive. I have enjoyed watching every game, disappointed with the outcome more than usual but still a very strong brand of baseball.
If you believed that somehow we would magically, immediately, replace, 350 SOs from two guys, and 40 HRs from 2 guys, no matter what preseason polls listed, then you’re just not thinking clearly.

My only complaint, albeit a very mild one, is that we didn’t can the transfers that weren’t contributing earlier and worked with our freshmen and sophomores.
Pretty close to right I think. The only other mention would be that Evans was primarily a bullpen pitcher last year. Coming in as a Friday night starter may have been too big if a transition. The coaches would know more about that than a spectator. It’s a different approach to pitching as a starter much less a Friday starter. Teams come in with their plan for what to do at the plate still fresh in their minds.
The vitriolic nonsensical comments need to end this season.
We are getting set for another deep run or national championship next season. You can see it developing just like in 2022. Keep your eye on this next recruiting class.
Road games are kinda that way. At least when close calls are involved. It’s not supposed to be, but it is.
Geez. You can’t really be that unaware. We saw Anderson the year before. And both were not great at the beginning of the season last year. They improved significantly as the season progressed.
Demanding things is easy. Success just isn’t.
We’re going to be beasts in 2027. CJJ just needs to have a more focused portal class. Experienced pitchers.

I think coach can get freshmen to hit at an SEC caliber. Our underclassmen have been impressive.
However, if I’m being honest, even though we have limited success this year, it’s still a great brand of baseball we have seen. A new trend, inadvertently, may be emerging. We have bucked the formula with position players. IMO, we just have too much inexperience on the mound.

Maybe we should have gone younger with the lineup earlier. But, that kind of breaks the mold of conventional thinking that to win you have to import experience to win. But there is no denying the underclassmen exciting to see.
