Significant changes have to be made this offseason. The postseason results of the last two years are unacceptable.

The cold hard truth that nobody wants to acknowledge is that football is scared shitless that they can’t keep up with the deep pockets teams like Texas if limitations aren’t put into place. Therefore, every spare dime is being diverted back to football, hence the basketball and baseball teams are getting support, but not generous support. They can’t contend for the top talent because they can’t pay enough. We can play with the good teams, but not the elite ones. We have to be excellent talent evaluators and find diamonds in the rough. Until NIL is reigned in, that’s probably the best we can do, especially in the SEC.

We’re swinging at the first pitch every time

Unbelievable

A DP would sure be nice here

Closer can’t throw a strike

Only question for me is who replaces big Nelly as the bust arse hustle guy who gets everyone pumped up with his enthusiasm, energy and effort? I think we will miss Grant’s impact from that perspective more than people realize and it will be hard to replace. Poster child for Oats hard hat guy. Hell, he’s hustled himself an NBA draft slot, possibly even late 1st round. I want to clone that guy because I don’t think we replace him and I don’t see anyone on the roster that can even attempt it.

Dumb question maybe and I don’t watch every game but I’ve seen a fair share of conference games this year.

Is anyone else getting to OKC by having a bell cow pitcher that you throw incessantly and a small ball, slap hitting offense? Because if there is, I haven’t seen them. Murphy is great at obtaining NC level pitching. He sucks arse at recruiting and developing hitters. He wants to win every game 3-1 and you just can’t do it that way anymore.
I never will forget the super vs Hawaii in 2010 that was a look at the future. Bama threw the stud pitcher against Hawaii in game 1. The Rainbows were heavily tilted towards offense and hit 158 home runs that year. One girl had 30 on the season. The Bama pitcher shut them down and we won the game 8-0. But the Hawaii bats woke up and they won game two 8-7 and then hit a walk off 2 run shot with two outs and won the trip to OKC 5-4.
Hawaii’s game plan still wins, Murphy’s doesn’t. Just sayin’

Die, will someone kill this thread... Make it go away! The obsessions over Milroe is unhealthy. The fact people find a way to discuss Milroe almost every week is concerning. Bury it. Kill it. Quit making all of us suffer. It's not fair.

He’s still the most recent QB to complete a pass in a game for Alabama and until that changes, he will be discussed.

Ok, I’ll go with you on the “Murph has earned the right…” thing. He built that program from nothing into a national power. For the love of God, look around and realize you are riding it all the way back down and you’re not helping. Step away from the game gracefully with your legacy mostly intact. Don’t be one of these idiots that hang around too long and tarnish or flat out destroy your accomplishments.

I think the left fielder is getting off too lightly. If he doesn’t see the ball, an infielder had followed it out there and could have made the catch or he was uncertain he could get under it in time and checked up. In that situation, either is inexcusable. Diving for the ball and not making the catch is probably no more damaging than letting it drop in front of you. Have the confidence and the hustle to make the damn out!!
