I think 15 wins will get us a bid, especially if we add to that a w in Hoover. Of course, as kelly noted above, any postseason success is a facade of the issues at hand. Yet again (AGAIN), another ho-hum season grinding to an end. Anything short of a national championship and this staff...

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/06/alabama_pitcher_jon_keller_to.html#incart_river Hard to be excited about next year. Go ahead and put another 30-32 win season in the books.

I would vote to keep him IF I knew he would fire Andy and move Dax back with the hitters (despite the outstanding performance from our starters in the regional)....but that will not happen. We lose a lot off of this years team, and I expect to be a 30-35 win club again next year. Mediocrity...

We could possibly lose our entire weekend rotation and our top 3 power hitters. The time to win is now.

It just has reached the point where it is the same story every year. We will probably limp into a regional, get blasted in two games, bank on Gaspard to make changes in the off-season (which, of course, 100% will not take place), and Alabama baseball will be in the exact same situation next...

But guys we are scrappy and try really hard.:rolleyes: If we had top end talent and were competing for the top of the league, you would never hear any moral victory comments like that. I think this is all the more frustrating because we know Gaspard won't do anything. I mean, after one of...

Is qualifying for a 12-team tournament out of 14 teams and "backing into a regional" something to be overly proud of? I agree with you that progress has been made from a year ago, that is an undeniable fact. However, comments like these: "We talked about it prior to the game today. This is...

Perhaps one of these days Gaspard will take responsibility for these losses instead of continually laying blame at the feet of the players.

I have been thinking for a few weeks now that Sullivan and Turnbull should be flipped in the rotation. I guess Gaspard knows we will get completely shut down against every Friday night starter we face, maybe that's his reasoning.

Don't worry guys, Andy Phillips is on the case: Regarding Moore: “There are a few things, mechanically, that he’s working on that he and (UA hitting coach) Andy (Phillips) have been tinkering with,” Gaspard said.

Shutout for the fifth time this year, this go around courtesy of the last place team in conference usa, sporting a 4.68 team ERA, and "it's for whatever reason", eh, Mitch? Surely it has nothing to do with what our hitters are being taught and everything to do with the unknown reasons that...

Speaking of injuries, will Wass be available this weekend? Edit: Just read where they plan on giving him some ab's against Samford/Jacksonville State next week.

Gaspard never (or rarely, that I can recall) offers himself up for blame. This is such a pathetic joke.

Good stuff as always, JoJo. I'd like to see Smith go back to 1st and maybe give some other guys more of a shot at DH until Wass comes back.

Can anyone tell me about this Blanchard kid everyone is penciling in? Like everyone else, a new season brings new optimism, but I just have very little faith in CMG after the continual slide of the program the past few seasons and lack of player development. Here's to hoping I eat my words and...
