re: 2018 UGA Baseball Thread (39-21, 18-14) / Season ends in the Regionals

Not too shabby

Going to go ahead and break our rule of no positive feelings/comments with this post so go ahead and blame me if things go awry after this. I think most here remember how hard I've been on Stricklin the last few years but I really have to commend him for how he's changed his coaching style this year, he's really done a complete 180. Had a conversation recently with a good friend on the team about what's been different this season and it's definitely encouraging to see how much Strick has changed his coaching style this year. No longer is he breathing down the players' necks, screaming at guys for minor things, or having 4 hour practices after a loss. He's really taken a hands off approach this year and the mood on the team is much more relaxed than it has been, and that appears to have made all the difference because this team isn't really any more talented than they have been the last few years. It sounds like it took having his neck on the chopping block for him to make this change, but better late than never.

Now let's see how many we can take from UF this weekend

Me too. Lived about 1/4 mile from the field and watched from the green house. Best summer of college.

My understanding is that bringing in Pete hughes as a volunteer coach was a big move on Stricklin part. Having him around to bounce ideas off of has led to a lot of the changes in approach in style and attitude. Sean Kenny has also been a huge improvement for the pitchers. If you saw Kristofak just pitch the shite out of techs lineup last night, you can thank Kenny’s development for a lot of that.

And the 08 Super Regional is far and away one of my most cherished memories. I too am in some of those pics. Hope that if we host in any way that the greenhouse does it right with a full speaker system and their best heckling job of the right fielder they can muster.

D1 baseball has us as the #4 overall seed. Thats quite the jump.

Got to win one this weekend at least, especially since we only have a 2 game lead for not getting a bye in the SEC Tourney.

Also, this might piss some off, but this weekend, we need to be cheering for Vandy at Tennessee, Missouri at South Carolina, and probably most importantly Tech needs to win at least a couple at Virginia to stay in the RPI top 50.

If we want a national seed, we need to go 4-3 in our final 7 games. Split the UF and Arky series and beat Presbyterian. We’ll host either way, but it’s be awesome to nab a national seed.

Wait wait wait, Hobnail watched from the green house and WG lived in River Mill? I've cracked beers with both of you at some point.
