Of Note: If we lose tomorrow that will be the 5th straight year that we have failed to finish above 500 in league play.

That's bad. We knew these last four weeks would be tough, but 2-8 so far is just unacceptable.

5 straight conference home losses is what stands out to me. I never expected to win series @LSU or @South Carolina, but to continue to get trampled at home, is what is so frustrating. Good teams defend home field, and we are simply not a very good team right now.

Yea we're a shell of the team we were earlier in the year. Unfortunately that script repeats itself most years. We always seem to fade down the stretch.

Ole Miss just beat A&M, so now we'll be seeded 7-9. With a win and an Arkansas loss we'll be 7, if Arkansas wins too we'll be 8. If we lose and Kentucky wins we'll be 9, if they lose too we'd be 8.

I'm back to where I was in the Tallahassee regional last year. I want Gaspard gone. Other than 2010, we've limped to the finish line every season.

Unless we go get an elite coach somewhere I think we should stick with Gaspard.

I agree. Look what AU's high profile guy got them this year. At least we are in the SEC tourney and will probably make an NCAA somewhere as a 2 seed..Probably FSU or ULL

It's just frustrating. We see the same story play out every season.

my suggestion is to not get so attached to a lesser sport like baseball at Bama and you wont be disappointed. I would much rather put my emotions into bama SB because at least they have won something worth bragging about..Plus girls in tights look better then guys in tights.

Yep. For better or for worse, there's still no way Gaspard is going anywhere anytime soon though.

I have no idea why Dax Norris is our pitching coach. He doesn't needed to be. He was actually the hitting coach and then moved to the pitchers when Andy Phillips came aboard. I believe Norris plays a big role in recruiting, so I don't necessarily want to see him go, but we really do need to hire an actual pitching coach. Like one who has actually pitched or coached it before.

Gaspard's biggest flaw is how horrible a coaching staff he has constructed.

If Arkansas beats Missouri today (likely) or we lose, we'll be in the 8-9 game against Kentucky. Only 'drama' will be who is the eighth seed and who is nine. If Arkansas loses and we win, we'll be the seven seed and play A&M.

All of the first round games are single elimination, correct?
