Sitting at 23-6 and 6-3 in the SEC, it feels like we are just a big ole maybe...
We have tinkered with the lineup, the weekend rotation, roles in the bullpen and have done a good job of mixing in some of the young and exciting bats. I tend to think the Carl's Jr sweep was more of an outlier that occurred because of a lot of fluky stuff (dropped 3 routine flyballs which led to something like 12 runs, routine throwing errors, dropped balls in the infield, etc.). I just think these guys are more talented than what happened there and if we play that series 100 times, I believe we win 2 or more way more than 50% of the time, but in that 3 game series, it was a total disaster.
@WestNashDore felt like we were at best a 15-15 team and that he'd take that and run to a regional as a 2 seed. I disagree with that, but I really don't feel like I know a lot more after the Mizzou series.
I felt like we really had something going with this lineup:
Austin - Leadoff
Jayden Davis - 2 hole
Kozeal - 3 hole
Espinal - cleanup
?

Vastine - 9 hole
I do wish Corbs would go back to that first 4, seems like he agrees with Vastine at the bottom of the lineup.
Anywho, I do think this team can still be a National Seed, but I'm not sure how realistic that is at this point. If we go win 2/3 at LSU, I think things begin to look a little more promising.
Current thoughts?
