20/20 Baseball

I think you’re really selling football short. It was real good season for a first year coach and a damn good recruiting class.

Didn't we win the west and go to the first ever Conference Football Championship and go to Bowl again. All done with a depleted bad defense coming back for first year coach which got to UL too soon to have a early signing period, so he had to wait on what did not sign and try to fill holes! I would say coach Napier and his staff and players did an AWESOME JOB!

The learning curve should be steeper. We had to undo a lot of damage done by the previous hitting coach. Cantrelle was the canary in the coal mine. He picked it up faster. He, Breaux and Windy will be able bring the new guys along. Don't underestimate the coaching going on between players in the cages and bullpens. It is significant.

Also, if the talent coming in really is better, then those guys could pick it up quicker, since we are no longer telling hitters to forget everything they learned about hitting in the past 12 years.

I am getting pumped again!

You’d be wrong, but it’s subjective so you could be right. We finished tied for 4th in wins. You can sell East and West to your hearts content. We played every team except one and tied for 4th in wins. That’s not awesome.

Exactly, some like to only focus on negatives. With what Napier had to work with he got the players to buy in and in my opinion got the best out of his team. Can’t ask for more than that. Really excited for the upcoming seasons.

If these juco boys and a freshman or two can actually pitch, we might be in the black next year. Hoping we bottomed out today.

Wasn't surprising when it was mentioned in Diamond Club by assistants that they know a complete overhaul is needed. They signed a lot of JC arms (still are) to come in and take over next year. More coming in than roster spots open just going off departing seniors, so younger players will be going out as well as is common. It'll just be more than normal. It's an unacceptable season to all involved obviously

How do you get to the point where the guys doing the recruiting know you need an overhaul?

Breaux
Cantrell
Toro
Windy
Brandford
Perrin
Young
Bougouis
Burke
Savoy

I see 3 on this list that should be cut.

Question, when was the last time Robe was offered another job ? Has Bab ever been offered another job ? Outside of A&M, has Talbot been made an offer to leave other then the rumored Houston offer as a recruiter. Why hasn’t anyone offered Freeman a new gig yet ? He’s going into his 6th season as a volunteer. Point is many successful programs in all sports lose coaches to other schools for better opportunities, higher positions, more money etc. Never seems to be the case around here.
