That seems like an odd fir for them as I thought they were all about the 3 ball.

I think they are projecting a bit, instead of looking at resumes.  Our resume is outstanding and the pitching numbers are still great.  If they have been astutely observing our team they see a Sunday guy that has faltered the last month, Will McEntire not looking like they guy from Feb/March, and an anemic offense.  If they can get a couple hitters hot and lock Molina/Mc back in, this team is as good as any.  We've been saying that about the offense all year, though, and I'm not seeing signs of that changing.

I can't believe Auburn didn't dogpile or do they only do that when they lose?

This just gets me, every time: 

Grand Canyon University (GCU) is a private for-profit Christian university in Phoenix, Arizona. The university offers degrees in over 200 areas of study and is administratively divided into 9 separate colleges.

The only thing to say it is not a diploma mill is that it is accredited.

D1 poll looks silly to me when who played whom where is considered. However, I don't mind being in a similar position to Mystik Dan going into the stretch.

Quote from: raz1965 on Today at 11:52:09 amI think we have 3 starters if not 4 on the roster now, and the portal still has a few left that could be impact players, can't get em all. Cal will not take players on talent alone, he is looking for good people, with good chemistry, team players, no need to panic ever time a player is off the board. We know Cal wanted  Garrison at some price but then let him go at a bigger price we believe. No NIL budget is unlimited.

And sometimes the recruit believes that they're worth way more than some of those schools recruiting them, do. In a lot of those situations it's not that the school doesn't have the NIL funds available to afford the athlete, it's that they "choose" to go in another direction, rather than overpaying for the kids signature/services.

Staving off elimination, Auburn baseball continues to assess its future

By Matt Cohen


QuoteAfter Javon Hernandez slid into home for the winning run in a cathartic, chaotic temporarily season-saving 10-9 walk-off win over Ole Miss and his teammates raced out with him to celebrate in the outfield, outfielder Mason Maner's mother Allison ran up to the top of the stands to give out hugs to fellow Auburn parents.

This year — this spiraling, fading year — has been disappointing and frustrating. It was an Auburn team that started the year receiving preseason top 25 votes that now needed a win with two weeks to play just to keep its long-shot chance at the 12th and final spot in the SEC Tournament alive if even for only a few more days. Maybe that's just as hard on a mother...

Auburn fell behind 5-0 then took a 6-5 lead in the 7th. It gave up the lead in the top of the 8th. Then took it back 8-6 in the bottom of the inning. In the top of the 9th, Auburn allowed a three-run double to Ole Miss' Andrew Fischer giving the Rebels a 9-8 lead before Auburn scored two in the bottom of the 9th to win it.

It was nonsensical. An encapsulation of this season gone haywire.

Auburn is now 4-20 in SEC play. It needs to win out over its final six SEC games and have one of Ole Miss or LSU lose out just to get the final spot at the SEC Tournament. LSU and Ole Miss play each other in the final series of the year. Auburn is two SEC losses from tying a program record for conference losses in a single season.

The moms haven't had much to cheer about...

"Some of this will pay dividends at some point down the road," Thompson said Thursday. "We found some anchors to hold on in some of these young guys to get experience may before they were supposed to. That will help us at some point. Hopefully, it's now. But nonetheless, whenever we get there, that will help us transition to get ready for next year."

With a combination of injuries and struggles from those Thompson had expected to rely on, the Auburn head coach has turned over his roster in search of younger faces and faces without much playing time to find a spark, to build up for next season with time ticking down on this seemingly lost one.
