Not a false narrative. I said and believe what I said. There are plenty that thought there would be zero drop off, they even said it. They won’t admit it now, but they did. Don’t believe me? Ask around.Stop with this false narrative, NOBODY who follows us expected anything close to the same. I don’t think expecting to be around .500 right now and finishing there or slightly above was too much to ask/expect. Everyone can point to State and their falloff last year and say “see it happens” but I guarantee they had the same hand wringing conversations on their message boards last year as well. I also guarantee that they expected to take a step back from 2021 replacing Jordan, Allen and a plethora of other guys but they didn’t expect 9-21, even with some of their injuries.
I think CTV is just getting some experience for these pitchers. He is a great coach and we are going to have to depend on these guys in the future. Get them out there and let them go through the process...I am all for it. Plus it pisses off the Hogs Fans.Seems Kirby only brought in for one batter, of late and thats it
Last sentence, most important at this point today!I think CTV is just getting some experience for these pitchers. He is a great coach and we are going to have to depend on these guys in the future.

Many of the ones moaning, myself included, wouldn’t have expected 25-5 with everyone returning let alone losing everyone. Last year just doesn’t happen but once every decade or so in this league. Baseball schools like Vandy, LSU and Scar have 1-2 conference seasons like last year, period. Nobody expected to be fighting for our postseason lives 35 games in, no matter how much of a drop-off they expected. Anyone who called this preseason was just being a contrarian and didn’t believe it themselves.Not a false narrative. I said and believe what I said. There are plenty that thought there would be zero drop off, they even said it. They won’t admit it now, but they did. Don’t believe me? Ask around.
