BB Final: LA 5, App St 6

I'm going to get blasted for this but the personal issues that Tony and Bab went through, while unfortunate and terrible, are not an excuse to not do your job. People deal with personal tragedies and struggles all the time. If they become too much to do your job effectively, you resign or take a leave of absence. Coaches leave the field all the time due to personal reasons. They come back if they still feel they have it after things are sorted out. It is very unfortunate that things happened the way they did, but you can't hold a program hostage especially when it is in the most critical time in the program's history.

Agree 100%. Softball coach went through something much worse.

We built a park like a major program. We charge prices like a major program. We play like a mid major program.

Which is all that matters, you don’t punch your ticket based off your stadium or ticket prices. Doesn’t look like it will be an easy fix. We aren’t good now and don’t see any reason to believe next year will be better.

Gerry Glasco is one tough dude.

So do we ride out 2020 in the hopes that 2021 will finally get better? Is the fan base really going to sit through another year of Tony ball like this? As long as Robe, JT, and Bab are in the dugout, does this ship really get corrected?

We lose a ____ ton of players off this team.

I actually agree with this...my only issues are the backhanded comments about being a life coach, not caring, etc...while we all may not like the current results, the man has earned enough respect to keep it “professional”

Some of it is uncalled for and I'll take responsibility for saying some things out of frustration at times. I also am not naive enough to believe that some of his comments aren't jabs at critics either. The building men aspect is great but usually is a byproduct of winning in other programs. College sports have gotten to a point where you can't really build a successful program on problem children. I'd be willing to bet good money all of the top 10 teams in the country have coaches that teach their players how to be men after baseball.

Oddly enough, you can't predict whether that is good or bad...

Cant answer that but I’ll have a decision to make come renewal time. Im sure a lot of people will. I would imagine Maggard will want to have a conversation with tony at seasons end about the plan to turn this thing around.

And that’s my frustration, if we were young and doing some of these things it would be one thing but we aren’t young. Majority of guys we are running out there have played a lot of ball. So play some young guys and see what you need to address personnel wise going into next year.

Not capitalizing on 2000 was on the administration, we'll all give tony that. Not capitalizing on 2014 is on him.

That is a true statement.

It looks like that has started with Hannie, Camp and Frank getting playing time this weekend.
