Crap. Bad luck piss poor umpiring again Ags. Next inning.

FIFY

The fans of SEC baseball certainly deserve better. Not saying a competent Blue would change the outcome today but horrid officiating hurts the enjoyment of the game.

---

Definitely changed the ballgame today. LOTS of callled strikes that were balls. LOTS of balls that were called strikes. Made our boys start chasing pitches because they didn't know where the zone was

---

Anyone catch the Bama- OU game ?
OU runner thrown out at plate after an obstruction at 3B which was not called.
They showed the replay and the 3B umpire was watching the ball in flight to 2B from the catcher and didn't even see the obstruction. Why are you watching the ball? That's not yours .. your eyes are on 3B

Then the idiot SEC announcers said " yeah that wasn't obstruction"
lol.. literally the definition of obstruction

It's becoming increasingly difficult to root for this team when it is so blatantly obvious how poorly it is being coached. I will continue to root for the players as they seem to be fighting to right the ship. But the coaches need to figure it out fast or get out of the way.

Bad coaching decisions have cost us quite a few games. Just absolute head scratchers.

I'll never understand the people that put no blame on the players and 100% on the coaches.
Is this on coaches… absolutly
But it's on players also

Never fails .. on any level a team wins and it's due to the players and a team loses it's due to coaching lol.

Coaching in baseball at this level and MLB is so overrated. You put the players out there and they either get hits or don't. They make plays on defense or don't

It's not like football and basketball where scheme and play calling plays a much bigger part.

What is our pitching doing to develop our staff?

This is crazy. The same coaches go to different places and consistently win. It's obvious they are doing something the others aren't. And I'll let you in on a secret. It's mostly mental.

Not a fan of turning on a young coach confronting adversity for the first time. Firm believer everyone should be given the chance to endure failure and see how they learn and respond. Some of the greatest leaders all have faces failures which aided in building their character and success.

It's tough to admit that Earley and crew are just not assets in the dugout at gametime overall. The Moss decision yesterday just feels like a fluke honestly. Even our batting order is such a question mark to me. I am not a professional baseball coach so I always try to defer to them but man....such a headscratcher to me.

But hey, Savannah Bananas vs Party Animals is on now (Youtube streaming) playing at Braves stadium! So still time to end the day on a fun note.

Couldn't disagree more. Learn the HCing ropes and pay your dues at McNeese or San Jac. Prove your ability to lead and motivate.
With this talent it should almost be on auto pilot.

This times a million!!!!

11 runs should win the game every time.

Thanks Lance for starting this thread and for doing play-by-play.
Thanks trouble for taking over PBP when Lance had to leave
Thanks jkag89 for the updates
We really appreciate it

There were sparks today, no doubt. The home runs and grand slam were absolutely electric. And I'm super happy I got to witness both Laviolence's record and Caden's return with his opening home run in person.

But there were a lot of demoralizing moments today as well. Lots of head scratchers. We knew Kentucky wasn't going to dodge pitches. Why not start throwing outside?

And then home plate ump didn't help matters, either. And he CLEARLY knew he ****ed up when Earley started jumping his ass. Yet no change.


This years team is like a car wreck, it's ugly to see, yet I can't stop watching it.


Anyway, at the Dixie Chicken with my dad. And life is good. Been a great father/son trip to College Station this weekend.

That would definitely be the preferred approach, no disagreement there. But that wasn't the hand he was dealt. Doesn't take away from the fact that I believe some latitude should be offered for early failure because that apart of the game. And I disagree this team should win on auto-pilot. Like I have said before we are only returning 3 of the top 10 offense from last season (now 4 that Sorrell is back). Can't say this is the same team.
And thats not even touching pitching and the loss with CC and Asch.

Idk man, a coach that just left a national title runner up is coaching a team that barely made the tournament last year and has them top 10 in the country. That team he left now stinks pretty bad.

Something isn't "clicking" with this team. We go from undisputed #1 in the country to most likely not even making regionals.

Is Earley not able to transition from being the "fun uncle" to leading the program? Did the players get too big of a head thinking they were the best and now they're only playing for themselves and not as a team?

Lots of questions about this program that we probably won't get answered.

can't argue against that. No matter how big of a *****burger he is, he has demonstrated that he js a generational coach. What he has already done at tu (and what he accomplished here in the short time span) is more than enough validation.

No doubt there are program builders. No doubt there is a skill for finding and bringing in talent. But GameDay coaching with the same team from last year? I don't buy it. I played baseball my entire life and teams all practice the same.

Please define "your whole life". Because the coach I played for my freshman year in college was awful and the guy I played for my sophomore year won significantly more games with essentially the same group of guys.

How long ago was this? Baseball isn't just batting practice and ground balls anymore. Hell the two college teams I played for did a lot of very similar things but everything we did was ran completely different. The voices in the cages are different. The drill work is different. The strength programs are different. Those two programs were vastly different than my HS program.

Just look at the coaching styles of the two teams playing this weekend. One team just wants to get guys on so someone hopefully hits a HR and brings them in. The other one is constantly trying to play for one run an inning. And to say the in game coaching isn't much, just look at how it always seems Earley makes the wrong decision with pitching changes and PHs. We have a guy on this team with 1 AB on the year. He came in for that 1 AB (which is also his first action in a college baseball game) with the game on the line. What in the world are you expecting to happen there? And I don't fault Earley. He has never been responsible for making those decisions. He is learning something new every week.

Do you really think he changed up practices and the routine up that much from last year? I just don't think so...

Baseball is a huge mental game and I think these players just put way too much pressure on themselves talking **** in the offeseason and that pressure is causing them to slump.


THiS YEAR, I Blame the players more than the coach. Not saying coaching is great but he can't be screwing it up this much imo
