5 year W-L record.

HolyCow · Apr 9, 2015

In my opinion the main stat to base a programs success is wins and losses.The last 5 years 2010-2014 SEC record is 67-81. Overall is 170-139. So far this year SEC 4-8. I do not expect the remaining SEC games to raise the record over .500. Any sport should not be satisfied with such continued mediocrity.We sit around 10th in many SEC team stats. Bottom line, why should any coach be rewarded for these results to open a new stadium and you know the results will be the same?

If you can, can you show the rest of the SEC? Not sure if there is a site out there that keeps up with each teams records year over year. I am just interested in seeing where we do rank versus the others. I think it will be around 7-9. Just a guess though.

Sorry... I was referring to this years team stats. You can find other year stats on SEC site. Don't think fans should settle for 7-9 either.

crimsonkelly · Apr 9, 2015

Can't argue that. For a program that is one of the winningest of all time, we should be a force almost every year (worst case 9 out of 10 imo). We are in the top 20 of all times wins (actually top 15 but aTm is 1 behind us so that will probably change this weekend...).

A couple of years ago (2013) I went through and dug out our record against HBCU's under Mitch and then dropped that out of the overall record. We wound up just a couple of games over .500. Two years later it's not going to be that much better as to make a difference. For example, we'd be 11-15 this year. And no, that's not good enough. Not by a long shot.

Grant did better than that and he got fired. Battle was going to keep him until the public outrage forced his hand. Maybe if things don't improve it will happen here.

Anybody know what Gaspard's contract is like? What is he getting paid and what is his buyout?

Here it is as of 2013. Middle of the pack interms of atthat time. Shouldn't of changed much except for the guys that have been extended/hired or fired.

Has CMG been extened since this article? If not it should be really easy to get rid of him since his contract is up at the end of the year.

This article says he was extended through June 2016. Why? SMH

SERIOUSLY???????????????????????

Suddenly, I don't feel very good.

bamamick · Apr 15, 2015

Why would surprise any objective fan that Mitch was extended? Up to this point NO ONE cared about baseball (and I am not saying they do now, though you would assume $45 million dollars says otherwise). The regionals are why Mitch is still here and why anyone would extend his contract. This year is kind of the wild card, but if we win 13-14 league games and the rest of the middies we'd finish with about 32 wins and with our SoS you'd think we'd most certainly get in once again, and if you were someone who was just minding the fort would you fire a guy who had taken your program to five regionals in six years?

No, you probably wouldn't.

You're probably right. Hopefully, what you indicated about the $45 million expenditure will add some pressure to actually host regionals for the extra revenue.

It should add pressure to win every game at home imo. Let alone host any post season games. If recruiting doesn't pick up as a result of it, then the other stuff (post season) won't happen either.

I told y'all weeks ago what you would get out of this staff this year and every other year. And this is the best talent they will have for atleast 3-5 years. Way under-coached.

NatchezTider · Apr 21, 2015

bama is severely lacking in the mental toughness/preparation department. i witnessed the first game of the aTm series in which hitters struck out 17 times with a high number of called third strikes. no excuse for that! in fact, it was downright embarrassing!! that's a direct reflection of the coaching, imo.

they don't know how to win, and therefore will seldom win that big game or put a team away late in the game. that's also on the coach. MG doesn't strike me as much of a motivator.

bamamick · Apr 22, 2015

Since Mitch has been here he has had one really good season (45 wins, with Wells' players), one historically bad season (21 wins), and three middle of the road seasons (35, 35, and 37 wins). This year we look like a team that could once again win 30-35 games if things continue on as they have been. On the one hand, that's been against a top 20 schedule every single year, but on the other, an awful lot of those wins have been against HBCU's.

Let's say that of those 173 wins, 30 have been against HBCU's. If that were the case (and it'd be close), that would put Mitch at 143-139. This year, taking away our seven wins against HBCU's, we'd be 14-18.

It is unbelievable to me how mediocre this program has been since that first year Mitch took over (of course, Jim's last two seasons weren't stellar). And of course, I give more credit to Nathan Kilcrease for even getting us to Hoover that year than I do Mitch.

It's time for a change.

Kilcrease was electric...

So, since it's been mentioned a couple of times (and I was bored), I decided to go through the schedule and separate our wins out by conference. Not going to lie, it was pretty tedious (and somehow I'm missing a couple losses -- weird, but I'm not going back through all 6 years to find them), but here's Gaspard's record at Alabama by opponent conference (taken from Rolltide.com):

SEC: 75-94 (not counting OOC games against SEC opponents or SEC Tourney games)
SECT and OOC games: 8-10 (Georgia, AU, various SEC opponents in SECT)
ACC: 5-9 (GT, FSU, Clemson)
Big 10: 2-0 (Minnesota)
Sun Belt: 13-8 (Troy, ULL, LaMonroe, South Alabama, Georgia Southern)
CUSA: 11-15 (Southern Miss, UAB, FAU)
AAC: 6-9 (Memphis, East Carolina, UCF)
A10: 2-1 (Saint Louis)
Horizon: 3-0 (UIllinios-Chicago)
America East: 4-0 (Stony Brook)
Summit: 0-1 (Oral Roberts)
ASun: 3-3 (Kennesaw St., Lipscomb)
CAA: 3-1 (CofC, Elon)
MEAC: 6-0 (Maryland-Eastern Shore, Savannah St)
OVC: 9-0 (JSU, Eastern Illinios)
Southern: 13-3 (Samford, Mercer, VMI)
Southland: 7-2 (SELA, Northwestern State, Stephen F. Austin)
SWAC: 23-1 (Alabama St, Alcorn St, Jackson St, Miss Valley St, Arky Pine Bluff)

That brings my total to 193-157 (real record according to rolltide.com should be 170-139 plus the 23-20 for this year to bring it to 193-159).

Also, here is where we rank in-conference this year stats-wise:

Batting:
Average: 9th (.258)
Runs: 9th (85)
SLG%: 10th (.350)
2Bs: 7th (28)
3Bs: 9th (3)
HR: 12th (9)
SO: 3rd (as in 3rd most in SEC play at 169)
BB: t13th (as in tied with Missouri for the least walks at 30)
OBP: 14th (.308)

Pitching:
ERA: 7th (4.47)
B/Avg: 11th (.285)
HR: 7th (11)
2B: 10th (31)
SO: 13th (110 SO)
BB: 12th (87 BB)

FLD%: 9th (.966)

Ohmygosh. Those stats would make even the most casual Crimson Tide baseball fan ill.

So, explain to me again why we had to extend his contract, mid-season? It was so imperative that we could not wait until the end of the season to do it?
