I guess the long time posters who seemed to care about the baseball program in the past have simply thrown in the towel. Bama plays what was probably the most important game of the year tonight and there is simply no one here discussing it. I guess that is what happens when the Tide pitching issues 9 walks and loses this type of game. The lack of a pitching coach really rears it's head against the good teams. Bama's pitchers threw nearly 200 pitches tonight- unheard of . The bullpen (except for Burroughs) has been ridiculously bad 5 out of the last 6 games.
I feared blowing that 8-2 lead in the 8th inning at UT was going to put this team in a tailspin- and that is exactly what has happened. The criticism of Gaspard on this board in the past has been well documented and deserved. This team has real talent and I thought they were close to making a run to hosting a regional. Hope they can turn it around the next 2 days. Just wished more people seemed to care- I know that they used to- but I also understand why some long time supporters have wavered.
