jluvah 664 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm sick of this. Routine plays in EVERY sport we can't seem handle! Do we have anybody on any team who is clutch? Are we just happy to compete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we just happy to compete? No. And, I'm not sure I can call what they've done this year as "competing" lol. Just not a good baseball team.

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just like with football last season, Im trying to find something to look forward to for baseball to build on next season. Other than the possibility of a Keegan/Mize/? rotation, I can't seem to find much room for optimism right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the possibility of a Keegan/Mize/? rotation, I can't seem to find much room for optimism right now. I'm a gluten for punishment and I'll keep going to games but I don't expect much out of AU in baseball anymore. Not a quitter but this is just a good decision.

Yea, replacing an entire outfield and having to build basically an entire bullpen and actually find 3 true weekend starters on top of teaching people how to catch ground balls...I do not envy the coaching staff.

Also, forgot losing starting SS, 2B. So at least 5/8 new position players will be starting next season. Maybe more if jobs are won by newbies in fall camp.

PUB78 1,358 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 This team just doesn't know how to win. Butch has a lot of work to do to get this team ready to play competitive ball in the SEC next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the most error-prone infield in the SEC ....by far.....should be a good thing IMO. It's a shame (and I can't imagine pitching in front of them) but as a tight game goes longer and longer.....you just know in your gut that someone is going to boot a ground ball or throw it into the dugout at the moment when it will do the most damage. We've had two years of poor infielding.....Butch should be happy to have the chance to start again though quite a few of those errors will probably be back next season. I won't name them but you can look 'em up. I'm hoping Buentello comes back....a pretty slick fielder and a serious bat, also Robert, Palacio, Foster and some other guys who showed good promise. If they play fundamental baseball, there is no reason the team should not be improved next season. And a moment while I get on my soap box.....ah, there..... Butch is getting a pass from fans this year.....who probably won't be so generous next season if the team persists in letting so many close games get away.

PUB78 1,358 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 You think he needs a total free pass if they get swept by Bama today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 You think he needs a total free pass if they get swept by Bama today? Probably so.....he's not going to turn this team around in a day....or likely in a couple weeks. If you look at last season's defensive stats they are not much better than what's going on....same guys making the errors. He inherited it.....was not able to make it better......I'd hoped for improvement but that might have been too much. I'm guessing errors are a mental issue...all of the players are very good athletes, no question....just something they can't seem to shake off. So.....I'm thinking we just forget this season and see who he can bring in to tighten up the defense and pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat them 10-1 in Montgomery and this series in at THEIR PARK. We are also 7-1 in the Capital City Classic since it was renewed. Let me translate for you. That means we've WON SEVEN and LOST only once. Research is your friend and its way past time that you actually did some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
