The Tigers open the 2024 season tonight with the start of a 3 game set against Eastern Kentucky. The SEC again looks to be the class of college baseball with 6 teams in the preseason top 10. We ain't one of em'.

The Germans ain’t even bombed Pearl Harbor yet.

Put a whoopin’ on them for opening day. I think the projected 5th best team in the SEC preseason is a good expectation as a starting point. We definitely have some talent to be top dogs when all is said and done.

Tigers sitting at 4-0 after a sweep of EKU and a 7-2 win over UAB on Tuesday. They've only given up 10 total runs in those 4 games, but are scoring right at 10 a game themselves.
Starting to tomorrow, they get a little taste. Headed to Jacksonville for a weekend tournament, where they will face #18 Iowa, Wichita State and #10 Virginia.

Excited to see what we do against some good competition. It’s been fun watching them this season so far.
Ike Irish is the truth. No other way to explain how someone is that much better with a bat than their peers than chalking it up to God given talent.

My peeter is sweeter and completer.
South of the border, yours is shorter and out of order.

Jumped on the saddle, but the saddle wasn't there.
Drove ten inches in the ole gray mare.

Battled back with a good 7th inning to take down #18 Iowa 7-5. Maners & Pierce were the difference with a solo & 2 run blast, respectively.
Today, we face the mighty 2-2 Wichita State Shockers at noon.

No problem with the Shockers.

That was a true back and forth battle. Butch said it best… they executed in critical moments a little more than we did. Very equally matched teams.

War Eagles move to 7-1 with a 12-3 pounding of Samford.
Host 2-4 UConn for a 3 game set this weekend.

Male baseball players go to 9-2 after taking 2 of 3 from UConn over the weekend.

Why are we not taking 3-3? Are we missing a quality third starter?

Our best starter gave up 6 runs in the first inning of the middle game. Shit happens.

8-4 Hump Day win over Air Force moves the Tigers to 10-2. 3 game set vs. Austin Pee-Pee this weekend. We were going Saturday, but it's looking like a 70% chance of rain, and windy. Not worth the drive.
-
BTW, Austin Pee-Pee is also 10-2, which includes taking a 2 game set from Miss. State in Starkvegas. Could be a wild series.

Good guys pick up the win in an early start due to the monsoon.

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.

Fixed.

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?

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.
-
bigger concern is why aren't we the feared team and ranked #4 ...shit needs to start changing. we're getting eaten alive in league play.

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.

Meh. Errbody else is under the same restrictions. We need playas that play for the Urgganblu.

Just lost to Alabama State

Alabama and Auburn are under the most. All other SEC Schools get some sort of assistance with this (mainly via Lotto). Especially Ga and Fla.

Dropped three to Kentucky. Our hitting was good enough to win two.

This pitching is just atrocious. Some of the worst I have seen. Starting to wonder if this is Foxhall. Same blueprint from MSU.
-
After dropping 9 of the last 11, Auburn sits at 18-17 (2-13) Georgia Tech (22-12) comes in for a mid week game, then off to Starkvegas.
-
does it really matter anymore?
-
Our hitters couldn’t even make it a game in Starkvegas last night. This is a lost season.
-
I can’t even bring myself to watch this anymore. I’m too damn old for extreme roller coasters.
-
Now that our pitching doesn’t suck, our hitters have forgotten how to hit.

Yeah, we've got uniforms, and everything. It's really great.

We did beat LSU on the road yesterday to snap a looooong SEC losing streak. I don’t think we need to book tickets for Omaha yet.

I was pretty excited to watch our baseball Tigers to start the season. That now seems like a very distant memory. Pitching coach needs to go, in my opinion. The pitching rotation needs a complete overhaul in talent as well. Hopefully Butch will take the necessary steps to get us back in the mix.

Well on our way to losing a series to a very mid Ole Miss squad. :jaw: WTF happened?
