A&M. No baseball team is good enough to deserve 41/50 votes from head coaches to win the title.


True. They predicted Wake Forest last year and without checking I'll just assume they won it all.

Go to bed baby back bitch. Really, just quit following sports. You’re in such a hurry to get ahead of the curve on dogging the teams you supposedly support…pussy.

We got picked a few years ago and didn’t make Omaha. They can have that bad mojo….

You do realize that your baseVols aren't exactly leading the SEC in CWS National Championships.... don't you.

The A&M team was the national runner up and essentially 95% of the roster is back combined with a top 7 recruiting class.

Wake on the other hand, was all hype and speculation.

The reality is I do not know what this year holds, and I certainly do not like being #1 out of the gate. It never works out. Pitching will make or break us.

I want to figure out what demon Bianco made a pact with to make that happen. They realistically shouldn't have even been in the field that year and won it all. Unreal.

Being the preseason favorite has been bad juju for damn near 3 decades now. I'm perfectly fine with staying away from all that.

Wake returned damn near everyone from their final four team and landed the #1 transfer pitcher Chase Burns.

The devil allowed him to win it all but on one condition that you will have bad seasons from now on.

Got your knee pads on baby boy? I used to go to the Arkansas page for info, but all I see lately is bitching and moaning from you punks who don’t have a fricking clue….come up here and tell the players and coaches how shitty they are. No? Didn’t think so keyboard women warriors.

I don’t see it either with what they lost. I could see them being ranked and buy that but they’re in basically everyone’s top 10 and I don’t see that


Maybe it’s because the people who run all these websites have actually taken time to explore the roster instead of just being like “hmm Condon gone they suck now”

Our team was 70% transfers last year too and the whole team raked. We led the SEC in OPS. Condon & Collins were definitely a huge part of that, but it’s not like they carried us as many in this thread have implied.

Phelps, Goldstein, Alford, Branch, and Hunter all return with 75+ ABs and an .850+ OPS

Phelps is a Top 20 MLB prospect at the moment and sat at 1.140 OPS as a freshman last year.

For pitching, Finley & Smith had poor overall numbers but clearly turned a corner in conference play. In the last 7 weeks of SEC play, Kolten Smith had the lowest ERA, most wins, and most strikeouts among starting pitchers in the SEC, which is why he was named preseason All-American by Baseball America.

On top of that, our transfer class was consensus Top 5 and even #2 in some places. Plenty of bats, plenty of arms. Tons of experience.

I think you’d have to be wildly unfamiliar with the roster to say the team isn’t Top 10

Lol….you and Dweebie…if you’d worry more about being fans than getting up votes on this shite show you might garner interest. Meanwhile I’ll call you out for being counts.
