That's what some of you have said about 2017-18. And, that's what the winning percentage was in those two years.

Regional good? No.

But if you think .600 ball is ____ting the bed and bad baseball, you need to get out more.

We've played some bad baseball this year. But guess what? We've played some bad baseball in the past, too. And,, we've always turned it around.

We will turn this around as well.

But get a hold of yourselves. We havent been ____ting the bed the last three years.

I’m gonna tell you BOP, .600 baseball isn’t good. It’s not horrible unless your goal is being a strong regional contender. If that’s our best we never needed a palace to play in.

Consistent starting pitching is what’s needed the remainder of the year. We have gotten to the point offensively that we can be serviceable. Coach Wells has done a great job with these guys to get this offense on track the last 10-15 games. But it starts on the bump. We gotta be good on the mound in order to compete. The silver lining is the young guys have been thrown into the fire before some were ready and hopefully they get better with time. I still think we can upgrade the talent at some positions

He's taking things out of context in order to sell his point. .600 in itself is not bad baseball. That's 100 wins in a major league baseball season. It serves his narrative because missing postseason doesn't. The goal is to make postseason, plain and simple. It all goes back to the "Status Quo" thread during the offseason. In 25 years, we are still talking about how we haven't missed postseason 3 years in a row. Sounds like the definition of status quo rather than improving over a quarter century. At what point to we expect not to miss 2 years in a row? Not miss postseason? That would be improvement over time. Can't win a title unless you're in the tournament. Chances of winning a title reduce exponentially when you aren't consistently there.

31 games since the 1-7 start. We've gone 18-13 (.581). And nothing shows that we'll eventually get over the .500 hump for the season. The next 11 games on the schedule are the toughest 11 on the schedule; 8 of them are away from home.

We’re not MLB. Those teams have a common draft. In college sports there’s not nearly the balance of power. There’s more dynasty programs. Then high quality competition. Then the rent a win teams. We’re not waiting to become one of the rented.

Apparently none of you have ever had to clean ___ out of a bed, which is more his point I believe.

I'm not taking anything out of context. I'm pointing out .600 baseball isn't ____ting the bed.
It may not be up to the standard set by this program, but let's quit acting like this program is in the ____ter.

It isn't.

Oh, and since I started this thread by reporting something I believe to be a positive, let me follow that up with we will be signing more players in the period coming up.
