Not that it matters, but why was Corey pulled?

I don't like getting sent to LSU but there is one way to make sure that does not happen for a generation. And that is to get sent there and end their season.
That would be great, but that won't happen with this team.

LSU's first two starters are pretty darn good

Why? It may happen whether Tulane wins or loses here. Why are you convinced Tulane can't beat LSU again in BR or Omaha for that matter when the record is 2-0 this season? Just asking.

Well, he is much more optimistic that those here. Oh, well. We will be travelling. To where, no one knows, at least for the time being. Last year we were thrilled to be IN the tourney. That was last year. But it is progress, albeit small progress.

No, it's more than that. We're ranked, a clear 2 seed, and a conference champion.
I was thinking on the scale of baseball expectations at Tulane. Those expectations are Jones's fault. If you can call it a fault.

Seriously why are some of us always so negative nelly. I'll never understand it. This team has had a fabulous season!

I'm not sure what you mean. We met reasonable expectations for improvement. We are not a baseball power anymore. We're getting back there.

Because we can't hit good pitching.

Carthon Ks. UH advances. We are eliminated and await the NCAA postseason committee's decision Monday night.

We find out tomorrow at 7 PM if we will host.

Your unhappy final:

UH 6-12-0

Wave 2-9-2

I don't think we can because we have reverted to the early season slump at the plate. We can't beat struggling teams playing for their season, why would we think we'd beat one of the hottest teams right now. We caught them at a good time.

Tulane beat Tim F***ing Linceceum when he was the best college pitcher on the planet in NCAAs.

Why don't some of you folks ask the players and coaches if they expect to lose and just plan to mail it in for the playoffs?

I don't think anyone thinks they mailed it in, just not good enough.

That is EXACTLY what I meant when I said "small progress", which I would think matches your "reasonable expectations." :roll:

One thing that would help out a ton on offense is Hunter Williams remembering what got him to the #3 spot, which WASN'T swinging for the fences.
