can you believe that, check swing at a ball that ends up a double down the right field line. Now that sums up our season so far.............

Can anyone give me one reason to feel positive about the direction of our baseball program under Serrano? This team is brutal.

I'll try to lighten the mood a little,

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Crash Davis: You be cocky and arrogant, even when you're getting beat. That's the secret. You gotta play this game with fear and arrogance.
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: Right. Fear and ignorance.
Crash Davis: [exasperated] No. You hayseed. It's arrogance not 'ignorance.'

You left your fastball in the locker room with some piece of ass. I am not some quote unquote piece of ass.

One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won't have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.

I read every game thread (thanks 66)and this doesn't seem to be a well coached team. We've stole some games against quality opponents but we make to many mistakes. Sloppy would be an understatement, I blame coaching. They should be winning the games they lose but I guess that is just basevol for now.

only high point for the vols was getting out of that bases loaded, no outs situation. otherwise, i'd been better off watching a movie.

These are some thoughts on the coaching staff regarding the question posed earlier about chemistry.

First, a little history. When CDS was hired he brought Coach Bergeron with him from Fullerton and he brought in Coach Mo. Coach Mo was managing a minor league team, but he was an assistant at UT when CDS was back in the day.

This is speculation. I think CDS thought he was gonna get the band back together and everything would be fine. Coach Mo is a very good hitting instructor and he's currently doing that at TCU, but I'm not sure he was Recruiting Coordinator material. I'm also not sure he was a fit offensively with what Bergeron likes to do. I think they underestimated how strong the SEC is and I think they were basing some of their decisions on their previous stint at UT as assistants. I think CDS has basically admitted as much, just the other day he said it took a year for him to realize that going .500 in the SEC is actually doing well.

If one goes back and looks at the misses we had in those first two years, I think it bears what I said above out. Coach Mo left, seemed like a mutual thing, I don't know the whole story maybe Deer Park, Frye or Showme do.

Anyway, Coach Aric Thomas comes in and assumes the Recruiting Co. duties and I think he's the reason we've seen an uptick in the recruiting. That said, while we are getting better players I'm not sure they fit "the system" offensively. I watched a lot of CSF games when they were in the tourney and we are recruiting bigger players, in fact even the pitching profile has changed, we're getting bigger there too.
