I think Andrew is more disgusted than any of us and that means he is really upset.

Maybe bats are tired. Bench ALL starters, ALL of them for next game. Could reserves do any worse? Can’t score fewer than zero runs.

Plus he has 27 home runs. I saw one thing that listed him as pick 1/1 for the 2024 draft.

Looks that way.

we don't have the offensive horsepower to last long into the post season. And we don't manufacture runs well either. This is a good team but it's not championship caliber. I'll cheer hard for them but I'm not getting my hopes up with a run to Omaha.

The final out was just symbolic of the entire series--Vandy hitter dinks it, Florida makes the tough play. Game, set, match. What a dismal weekend.

I didn't get to watch any of the game (Mother's Day - related), but followed it a bit on my phone. How was the home plate ump? I ask because he's the son of a friend of mine (not a super-close friend, so you can be honest and it won't hurt my feelings).

Ball/Strikes looked good today. I didn't have any issues with it at all.

Started 13-2… have since gone 4-8… And if Arkansas sends at least nine players in Nashville… Will lose two or more of those. So we will finish on a 4-11 or 5-10 slide. I’d have to double check but I’m pretty sure you’re right, that’s the worst team in the SEC the second half of the season. Certainly the most jarring collapse.
