The negativity is because what we are losing from is stuff you shouldn’t lose from at the college level. The stuff we lost from has nothing to do with “rebuilding” it’s all stuff that should be natural for a D1 baseball player.

Base running is something you should already know when you get to college. Catching an underhanded ball thrown to first is easy or throwing to first with two outs instead of trying to make a tag. Those are all things that don’t require “rebuilding.” You are literally always taught on 2 outs to get the lead runner or the easiest bag. You are never taught to make a tag because so many things can happen on a tag.

Those little things are frustrating and embarrassing if you want to be a “good” team you can’t make those mistakes. It’s fundamental baseball.

That stuff happens when you play 70 games, especially against the #1 team. Most of our guys are playing everyday in the SEC for the first time. I just don’t get the day to day negativity when it’s a long haul like basketball.

Hopefully they fix it today, but mistakes like those against good teams will continue to lose us games.

You played college baseball, I think you have mentioned. Did you ever make an error or strike out in a critical situation?

Not on a routine play. Strike out is different. Have I made errors? Yes. It happens.

The errors that occurred should not have happened. The Miss play by Moore shouldn’t have happened. That is fundamental. Plus Moore got called off twice during the game and never got out of the way, which almost caused even more issues.
