Don't you think the ONLY chance we have to salvage this season is to change coaches NOW.

With a new coach, the UTAD has a fighting chance to sell tickets (and popcorn) and we could give an interim coach a decent tryout.

No new coach but they shouldn't be paying that guy more than about $40,000 a year.

No coach could do worse than Raleigh.....going 1-4 at home in 1 week against Eastern Ky, Binghamton, and Kennesaw is truly pathetic and embarrassing....that warrants an immediate termination of the coach

It would also prove that Mike Hamilton is serious about baseball and succeeding in baseball.

How could it make the situation worse?

The Vols were down 0-2. They tied in 9th...actually leaving bases loaded with 2 outs for chance to win. But later won in 11th.

So we went 2-2 instead of 1-3 against two TERRIBLE teams.

So, just to be clear, when we lose it's because of Raleigh, but when we win it's despite him?

Stuff happens. Looks like we left the weekend better than we started. Let's give it more than 2 weeks.

Finally, a voice of reason. Baseball is a game of ups and downs. Everyone just sit back and relax. We'll find out what this team is made of when SEC play starts. I , for one, still have high hopes. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? I DONT THINK SO! Haha! GO VOLS!

I don't know that Raleigh is that great of a coach, but you can't tell too much about a team this early in the season. To me, it seems like this team has potential, they're just inconsistent.

You may be the only person in the United States that would not recognize that as a quote from the motivational speech that Jim Belushi gave in the movie Animal House. You should check that out. :tease2:

In all fairness you can certainly see how well a team is coached from the get-go.

With that said when you play teams like UT did this weekend, you're going to get their very best. These types of games are tough on the more talented team. It's hard to get up for sucky teams you play at the beginning of the year.

Is it am excuse to play .500 against them? Hell no, but it does happen.

I haven't been able to see too many of his games, but it seems like we need relief and mid-week pitching to come around, and to figure out some dead-outs in the middle of the lineup.

From seeing gametrackers and notes here, it seems we have no problem getting guys on and over, we just can't do anything with them once they're there.

This point in the year pitchers will always have the advantage.

But the get 'em on, get 'em over and get 'em in is a lost art in college baseball today. Too many people waiting around for the 3-run bomb. Todd Raleigh is one of those who is waiting around for it.

Aluminum bats will do that to you. Make a brother scared to bring that heater in too.

That'd be ok if you had guys in the lineup that could hit the 3run bomb. I might be wrong, but our runs must be coming from the bottom of the order getting on, and the top getting them around. I can't figure how we leave that many on.

I wish we would pick a line-up and stick with it for more than one day. I've never seen the advantage to shuffling the batting order every single day. Someone help me with that, please!
