Monroe starts a pretty good pitcher Friday night. Knowing kids on the team, they are frustrated! They are a much better offensive team than they are showing. I believe for the most part the right kids are in the lineup. They just need a game in which they get double digit hits, score 7+ runs and have fun. The losses add up and take a toll on the kids and the coaching staff.Thanks for the updates guys. I was sure we would be around 6-2 worse case by now. This is not a good sign for the rest of the season. I see they started a guy with a 7.50 era so very disappointing we could not hit this guy.How good is Monroe we need a sweep in a bad way but definitely got to get two. It is very discouraging when we can't put good teams on the diamond and the the basketball court as we do on the gridiron every year . Getting to the dance and the regionals every year should not be a problem.
Goff is a joke and in WAY over his head! In his first act our new AD needs to realize Battle made a big ... mistake AND pull a 1980's Steinbrenner and relieve him of his duties. Our kids deserve a hell of a lot better in all aspects....
We got to find a catcher. Webb just cost us a run and possibly the game. Couldn't block one in the dirt and then can catch an "intentional walk" toss.

I made it known I don't think Goff is the right man. However, at the end of the day I support the kids..,.

I agree but my point is simply that we should be competitive in all sports and not just average or below average.Hard to compare basketball and baseball with football in Tuscaloosa. 2 different worlds.

Yea, that is the best I can tell also. Granted it almost has the appearance they are trying to figure some guys out. I know they are new and all and the players are new to them, so hopefully they will have it figured out soon. Not sure it will completely matter in the end. Time will tell. I do know that recruiting college baseball is not an easy job as the draft robs your program and then others just don't pan out. But, lets look at UF and see what they do, they manage to get guys on campus, but their coach was already a major proven commodity. Goff will have to make that name for himself at a major school or risk being thrown on the junk pile in 2-3 years. Unfortunately, at that point if he isn't successful, the new stadium wears off and ....That was just sad to listen to. And look, I am not running down Jax State. They usually have a good program in the OVC, but they do not have a $40 million dollar brickpile and our head coach probably makes more than their staff.
So being optimistic, I am just going to assume that xCMG sucked the life out of the program totally and go on from there. This year we will most likely have our worst win-loss record in two decades and there's no telling how long it will take for us to get back to being competitive.
I get so tired of this kind of thing. We have had two games where we put runs together, a couple of so so games, and a few where it was painful to watch. Eight games in and I wish it was already over.

I think we do have more talent than you think. Doing some research, Webb was the top catcher coming out of HS in the state of Tennessee. DeVinny was all state in HS (TX) 3 years and freshman all B12 at K-St before transferring. Other positions are the same way. Regardless the defensive lapses need to be addressed.Goff has coached 8 games with Gaspard's leftovers. Judging him right now is not exactly fair. And this team is void of talent in many areas.
I agree it was time for CMG to go. However, Goff is doing a pretty good job of demoralizing, beating down and sucking the air out of the sails as well. I''ll stand behind my comments/opinion as it comes right from folks in the dug out. Goff is mentally abusive and I wouldn't let my kid play for him. I feel for the kids b/c unless you are one of his 3 or 4 'chosen ones', the game is not fun right now.That was just sad to listen to. And look, I am not running down Jax State.
