AU64 10,122 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Wow...I turned my back for a few minutes to take care of some business on the phone and come back to find 5 more runs on the board. Must have been a bit ugly if they were unearned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerPaw1 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not good... This is what killed us last year was losing these midweek games. I am really concerned about how we will do in SEC play. We have yet really to go out there an establish ourselves as head and shoulders better than the light competition we are playing.... Very disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCTiger2011 1,278 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Not good... This is what killed us last year was losing these midweek games. Too true. After looking at our RPI/RPI projections, I don't buy into the "We have to go 14-2 in our opening stretch or we're done, the sky is falling crowd" but our midweek play MUST improve this year if we are going to make any noise. I think our magic number coming from the SEC this year will be to get to 32 wins (it's a homemade Java code that has matched up decently well in previous years, definitely not Joe Lunardi of baseball well, but yay it got me an A for a class project well). Right now, if we win all our non-SEC games and go 15-15 (VERY tough to do this year) in conference, we will have 36 wins, so we're definitely walking the ledge with little room early in the season. Oh well, one game at a time, chop wood this weekend, and get the brooms out to right the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It's gonna be a long baseball season. Depends on your expectations. Every game is a new experience.....in baseball the worst teams beat the best and win some series and JMO but this loss does not necessarily indicate anything about the future. Coaches always use the mid-week games to develop pitchers and some of the younger players. Seems a couple of the pitchers could not "get over" a two out error and let things get away. Pitchers have to learn to suck it up after an error.... bear down and get the next batter......which they were not able to do yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,405 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 My biggest concern is the RPI. Of some folks on here are right then we are basically one more loss away from the season being a loss. If our ooc schedule won't get us in the post season with more than a couple losses then it means we have to ace our sec schedule and sec tournament ... That doesn't stand to reason if we can't win these midweeks ... I need to stop watching AU sports for a week or 2. Maybe the equestrian and gymnastics teams will save the athletics season ...

AU64 10,122 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just a note to the uninformed: AU's gymnastic team is ranked #11 nationally. Not bad for a program that has to recruit EVERY athlete from out of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a program that has to recruit EVERY athlete from out of state. And....#11 nationally equals #5 in the SEC. How many SEC teams even have a gymnastics team? Is 5th also last? Our losing streak to UAT had reached 109 straight matches the last time I saw a report on it. Don't they have to recruit out of state also?

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I know, no more "fire JJ threads" but I'm allowed at least one such post, yes? May read oddly, but horrific football, basketball and an avg baseball start notwithstanding, swimming NOT winning the SEC this year pushed me over the edge into the JJ is now fire-fodder crowd. Death, taxes and Auburn men will win SEC swimming. Until this year. 2013 baseball and football could change my mind again, which is really important b/c I'm sure The Powers are monitoring me as THE bellewether of AU fandom.
