Really disappointed with Rhoades and this "safe" play. No real commitment to winning in baseball. It was all hot air. They even reference how this year is indicative of TJ's good years. Ummmm, hate to break it to ya. But that means in your good years you're not making the tourney and are a .500 team with a losing record at home, losing record on the road and have absolutely zero buzz about the team.

The only thing that might hold my interest for this team next year is if they sign Benes as an assistant coach in charge of pitching and recruiting since they just lost one of their assistants.

I think it is tough for a guy on the job for a little over a month to make a move. Mizzou baseball has had three men coach the program basically since World War II. I think he did a good job recruiting even as a lame duck. Hopefully he can do even better with a legitimate contract.

With an open spot on the staff and my thought that TJ is close to retirement, I hold out a sliver of hope that we can throw some serious cash at Vitello and make him head coach in waiting or something. That would be the ideal situation.

I don't mind this move. Looks like We are going to make a significant increase in the baseball budget. With more money for recruiting, travel, & assistant salary pool.

Even with a new coach those moves would of had to happen in order to even think about being competitive.

For his part, Jamieson continued to perform his duties during his week in limbo. Jamieson was spotted recruiting in St. Louis last week during a high school playoff game between CBC and Francis Howell Central. `


I'm from St. Louis. I think there's pretty good ball in St. Louis, just watered down because of the number of options/teams. But there is life outside of St. Louis TJ. Just ask the national freshman pitcher of the year. You know, that kid that is pitching in a super regional for the #1 ranked team in the nation. Also happens to be from Missouri, just apparently the wrong side of the state.
