I say we score 8 runs here in the T1 and sit Grissom until tonight.

Right, but if you put 1 for national champs, 2nd for runner up, 8 for CWS attendees, 16 for super regional losers, etc.

And that’s a charitable chart. If it showed our progress in the postseason, the blue line would be no lower than 32.

Consider yourself lucky.

Does anyone have 2 tickets for Saturday (May 1)? I want to take my 2.5 year old to his first baseball game.

I still don’t understand the hand wringing over drawing Auburn. They had a high RPI, yes, but you can get a high RPI from playing and losing to good teams. At the time of the regionals, they had a worse winning percentage against the top 50 RPI than, say, FSU. They had just happened to play (and...

One of my favorite quotes of all time.

Well, I'll answer your question, and I hope that you'll answer mine. I'll break it down in to three phases: recruiting, regular season performance, and post-season performance. I would give CDH an 'average' for recruiting. Yes, he has delivered great classes and he deserves credit for it...

Nah, I don't want to win it all every year. I just would like to win more than 0 of our last 9 regional appearances. And I didn't know you had to be a coach to criticize a coach. I bet most of us have never been politicians, but I'm sure most of us have criticized them.

I do think an average baseball coach could’ve taken the talent on this year‘s team (4 top 220 picks) and led them to one losing regional appearance, two missed postseasons, and one losing record in the past three years. Don’t you?

The “last four in” in March Madness are usually 12 seeds. 12 seeds reach the Sweet 16 about 15% of the time.

I felt like we were begging teams to intentionally walk English to get to Radcliff. But I don’t think he came to the plate in the right situation.

As to what has to change, I don't know - it seems to be several things that vary every year. Certainly we seem to rack up pitching injuries at a high rate. But the pitching was good enough this weekend to win. This year it seems to be lack of a killer instinct. No sweeps. Not fielding a routine...

They're good questions, but no one wants to answer them. Everyone wants to pile on me if I suggest has coaching has something to do with our woes, but no one wants to state how long we have to get 'unlucky' before coaching may actually reveal itself as the issue. Care to take a stab at it? Is...

Let's assume all of you are correct. We're unlucky in the postseason. We get tough draws. We have untimely injuries. Opposing pitchers have their best stuff against us. How long do you let this go on? When is it acceptable to call for a coaching change? Is no super regionals in 13 years...

I would get your argument if we were just talking about one or two regionals. But we’ve had plenty of failures with plenty of different yet talented teams. And we’re not even talking about our recent trend of not making the tournament at all. I started following GT baseball in the mid 2000s...

I’m not sure whether it says more about his pitching or our batting (or our base running, for that matter). Anyway, we’re going in circles. I think Williams was the obvious choice, and apparently whoever decides such things agrees. Peace out.

It really comes down to this: Does Auburn win this regional without Steven Williams? In my book, the answer is no. At the very least, we're playing again tonight. If you can make the statement that "a team wouldn't have won a championship without [x]", you give the MVP to 'x'. Simple.

Is this supposed to make me feel better?

You say this, but the post you quote specifically comments on his performance outside of that swing. You realize he had half the RBIs for his team last night right?
