Didn’t expect it.

Of the SEC squads that had to hit the road, this was the more winnable regional.


For who? Not for us.

The only way we had any shot to win a regional was to find a way to win the first 2 games. Our pitching depth has no shot winning a double elimination tournament if we go to the losers bracket.

Tech's redone stadium is really nice looking.

Except for that blasphemous carpet.

Yes. Point remains, Ruston presented a better chance.

Well, yea, La Tech was the lowest of the national seeds.

It should not have been a surprise to anybody that we didn't win the regional. If it was they didn't watch us play or know about our pitching injuries/depth.

NC State is probably going to win it and they're a really solid roster. Arkansas will probably dispatch them, but they've got some pop up and down their lineup.

A regional bid was our ceiling for any Bama fan with a clue.

Would have lost 20-4 tonight. We had one more pitcher that may or may not have been good for 6 innings and then literally nobody,

Alabama maxed out this year with their best two pitchers going down before the season. They overachieved IMO. Troll thread.

If by some stretch we would have made it to tomorrow against NC St, we would have been pitching position players.

We're not mad. Team did all it could do. Lost our 2 best pitchers for all of SEC play and the postseason, including a Top 10 pick. The ceiling was pretty low.

Getting back to Hoover and the NCAAT was a pretty big step, especially after those injuries.
