13-3 now after traveling to Troy yesterday and take an 8-2 win.

SEC play starts Friday with a 3 game set against Vandy in Nashville. The Dores are 15-3 and ranked #10 in the USA Today Top 25. Auburn sits at #19.

Ah, my bad. I just saw it wasn't at Planezmens Park and figured it was in Troy. Odd for two teams about an hour away from each other to travel up there for a game.

Welp, the season went south in a hurry. After 6 games against #9 Vandy and #1 Arkansas, the Tigers sit at 1-5. 15-8 overall.

After a mid-week game against Jacksonville State, it's right back in the grinder against #4 Texas A&M out in College Station. Yeesh!

We got them right where we want them.

Nobody comes into our house and takes 3-3 every series!

I hated getting swept by Vandy. Taking one of the 3 against Arkansas was meeting expectations. Expecting much of the same against A&M. We will gain confidence & competence as the season wears on and will be in the conversation by years end as one of the better teams in the SEC. It’s the Butch Thompson trend, and I’m okay with it.

How is the Bass team doing this year?

Not sure. I'm a baritone.

Much better since they got that Bass-O-Matic 1973

16-8 after putting a 10 run rule stoppage on Jacksonville State last night. On to College Station.

Oh goodie, Tennessee comes in this weekend ranked #4.

I agree. The SEC is a monster but we should not be in last place.

Agreed. When bats are alive, pitching is subpar. When pitching is adequate, bats go cold. I still have faith we’ll find the right formula & catch our stride.

It's like my golf game. The last two times I played? First time out, my driver was on, consistently straight and long (don't say it). My irons were really strong. But I could not putt at all. I three-putted 12 of 18 greens. That's 36 freaking strokes.

The next time? Zero three putts, I was knocking them in from everywhere. One putt on eight or nine holes. But my drives? Shank left or an awful slice. Chunked irons. Skulled chips.

It just never comes together. I'm either on in two and three-putt or on in four and drain a 15-footer. The score remains the same either way.

We did take one game. But that was an anomaly. We are in a bad place this year. I hope Butch has a plan moving forward next season. Because this season looks to be getting ugly.

We have played, hands down, the toughest schedule in the nation. Problem is, we're not really competitive. A bunch of close games at A&M, but still allowed an ass load of runs. Our pitching is teh sux.

As I eluded to, we are about a season away IF we actually have a plan. I am not sure we have enough pitching on the way to make that move up to the next level.
If not, does that mean its on Butch? Or are we just a program that will remain at this level regardless of the coach?

We are in dire need of a full scholarship plan for the two diamond sports.
