re: 2021 Diamond Dawgs / 31-25 (14-19) / Season over, First 4 Out

37 fricking games into the season and we still don’t know how to win. We have damn near just run into 24 fricking wins this year because we are in fact THAT capable.

This team could be a legit squad but they fricking SUCK at finding consistency in literally anything they do. They can hit but can’t score runs. Sometimes they can’t hit at all. Sometimes they blow out the #1 team in the country on the road. Sometimes our Friday-Saturday starters actually look like aces. Most of the time they’re pedestrian. Sometimes the bullpen will throw a shutout staff game. Sometimes they can’t tie their own fricking shoes without two other people to help them.

Another double digit LOB outing as well

Tate triples in 2 runs

7-5 Dawgs in the 10th

As I’ve said previously, this is who we are until Brooks and Co see fit to invest in us like our top of the line SEC brethren.

Agreed. Its embarassing looking at Foley and realizing we have maybe the 11th to 12th best baseball facilities in the SEC. At least a third of the conference seats three times as many as Foley.

W is a W right now. Go Dawgs!

We just gave stricklin an extension lol. We have been so historically bad the last decade with coaching decisions from top to bottom across the whole ad. Comical almost.

Dawgs win it 7-5 in extras. Feels like a partial loss so the way that 9th went and yet another absurd LOB figure

Jesus I don’t even worry so much about attendance figures as just not looking like a nicer version of what Mizzou has

Its something that pisses me off. When you have Ole Miss, LSU, Miss State, and Arkansas having over 10k people at a game and we can barely get 3K.

When you have thousands of students out beyond the outfield making an impact on the game, and remember what we had in the early 2000s with Kudzu Hill, and that tradition is almost gone and all any administration did to foster growth with the students was put a couple of temporary middle school type bleachers beyond right field.

It all just pisses me off.

The right field clean up was well intentioned but renaming it the Garden Club after former ADs who would go sit out there and then putting trees at the top of the hill that all but block out the houses in June told me all I need to know about what the admin thinks of the program. Latest renovation was nice but did little to actually improve the program other than allow Butts-Mehre to sell some luxury seating options. Meanwhile, can’t even expand the awning over the general admission sections to make it a more inviting space for the few people that are able to attend.

Jeremy Pruitt only was able to do what he did because he had boosters to back him on his takes and the AD knew it.

It’s going to require someone or multiple people with some notable cash to spend to put up and make demands. UGA has been the poster child of a reactive philosophy for decades now and I doubt they’ll suddenly take a proactive approach to building a current program into an actual money making opportunity unless someone pushes them on it. I would love and am waiting eagerly for Brooks to prove me wrong.
