That's only because the Mizzou fans who generally post here are either not knowledgeable about baseball or are infected with the Mizzou fan curse of seeing everything in the worst possible light. I've been accused of being excessively optimistic about MU Baseball, but mostly that's because everybody else is so pessimistic.

Or some of us have learned not to pop off before winning anything. I don't know who you were directing this too, but I would imagine there are a lot of Mizzou posters here that are knowledgeable about BASEBALL as you say. Had you qualified it to say knowledgeable about MIZZOU BASEBALL I might agree with you. I would grant that you probably know more about MIZZOU BASEBALL, particularly it's history, than most. But I think there are enough people that know enough about baseball to know that we will win some SEC games, but probably lose more games than we win in conference, maybe pull out a couple series and finish this season somewhere in the bottom third of the conference. Tell me where I'm lacking in my knowledge or being pessimistic with that?

Frankly, I didn't understand the hoopla about one win against SC. It's baseball and teams won't win them all and teams won't lose them all. It was one game. I said it before somewhere, but the bigger thing to me was the entire series showed me something even though we lost 2 of the games. Mizzou was close in both of the losses and if the fielding wasn't dogshite at times and the team could execute with runners in scoring position, we could have won another of the games, but that's the difference between where Mizzou is right now and where the other teams are. They do those things and Mizzou already has a track record this year of not doing them. Hopefully that changes, but right now, that's where it's at.

I respect you passion for Mizzou baseball and knowledge of it's history, but to equate that to meaning no one else is generally knowledgeable about the game is just wrong.
