o.k. i guess. its not really that big a deal.. we all know that baseball is one of those sports where losses are much more common..

no so much talkin about um losing earlier in the week to ark state...

the indians may be a pretty fair team.

but losing to illonis cental chicago.. damn that school doesn't even have bleachers at their ballpark..

for who???

for us.... anytime you lose your top 4 starters, and 2 of the most productive offensive players in the conference, you're going to have a dropoff...

It's called "reloading", all the good programs know how to do that. :lol:

i would say we did, but we're nowhere near what we were last year....

Like I told you last year, last year was UM's "year," if they didn't do it then, it would never happen again. :lol:

never know, our recruiting has been great the past few years, like i told you the other day, Satterwhite has all the potential in the world, he improved to 3-0 yesterday, 6 innings, 4 hits, no runs, not bad for his 3rd ever div. 1 start. Granted, it was illinois chicago, but he's still got potential. TB had an off night friday night, didn't pitch his normal self. Lance Lynn has thrown well today so far.

State wins 5-4 over Arkie St.....finishes the sweep.

good to hear, maybe Ms can have 2 good baseball teams this year

Postby **Greenhead22** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:04 pm

MSU and USM I presume ? :lol:

Sure isn't DSU and probably not UM. :lol:

never know, still early in the season, i'd hate for us to at least end up competitive and bring out the closet rebel in you :lol:

Answer to question posed to start the thread. Not much. Still too early in the season to be getting too giddy or too depressed. Lots of baseball left to play.

UM swept Maine recently, an NCAA tourney team last season. And took 2 of 3 from EIU, also an NCAA tourney team last season. Not too bad for a young baseball team.

Rebs will travel to UCLA soon for a 3 game series, which should give us a pretty good indication of where the team is at this point before the start of SEC play. UCLA has done pretty well so far this season against some traditional baseball powers.

Rebs have some young arms with talent who need a little seasoning. Also have some young talented hitters who should come on stronger as the season progresses.

Arkansas State has a couple of former UM players coaching them --- Keith Kessinger and Brad Henderson. This is probably the reason they have played so well against us the last couple of seasons. Go figure.
