Alabama Baseball Disaster

[Marshal Dillon]

Well, at least we aren't getting blown out every game, but losing to JSU? Ouch! First year coach with key injuries so I am gritting this one out.


 

There is no solace in statistics for the University of Alabama baseball season. There are already 26 losses this season. The Crimson Tide has lost all six SEC series, and its last 10 conference games overall.

There are 11 one-run losses against just two wins. Seven more losses have come by two or three runs. Head coach Greg Goff knows the numbers.

Bama is a football school.  Get over it...

It is killing me the team has regressed to this point. CMG was ready to be replaced because he was stuck in a mid-SEC pack. We made the SEC Tournament every year and was a bubble NCAA team most years. We have fallen off the charts. The worst team and record I can recall. Looking at the record book confirms one of the worst teams in our history.

I expected Goff to perform much like basketball with CAJ. Not much improvement in the first year but no slippage to be bottom either. I expect a lot of energy and hard play. Pitching should be our strength and it turned into a weakness. CAJ showed us in year one the future looked good. I do not see that with Goff.

It is highly unlikely he will be let go after one year but it would not surprise me. There is no reason Baseball cannot be a consistent NCAA team.

I refuse to accept we are a football school only and other sports do not matter. Alabama should not accept losing in any sport much less one of the big three men's sports.

WRONG!! This university has had outstanding sports programs now and in he past. Five National Championships in women's gymnastics, 5 trips to the College World Series, the most wins of any team in SEC baseball, the 2nd most titles in SEC basketball, National Championships in men's & women's golf, National Championship in women's softball, and overall excellence in sports. Alabama is much more than a "football school." Get over it and appreciate the school for it's accomplishments.

We lost Game Two to LSU last night 7-4. We are now 2-18 in SEC play. We have lost 12 straight SEC games. 0-7 in SEC series. We are on pace to have the worst SEC record since the conference expanded to 30 games in 1995.

I am  and  about this at the same time. No excuse. We do not have top SEC talent but we should be winning some games. I am worried about this coaching staff. They do not seem to have any idea how to win games. We have gotten worse as the year goes on.

I'm sure missing the good old  days when coach Jim Well was regularly winning the conference championship, the SEC tournament and  going to Omaha.

Maybe someone could tell our coaches that if they were to score more runs than the other team then it would give our teams a better chance to win?

^^^ THIS^^^ I don't care how good of a coach you have, if there is no talent on the team then don't expect any good results. I think Bama suffers from the scholarship situation in the conference big time compared to some of the other teams that have a state lottery but with that being said, Auburn seems to find better talent than we do and they have the same scholarship problems that we have. The teams that have the lottery in their state have a big recruiting advantage over the ones that don't.

Goff has had a terrible season but I think his cupboard was pretty bare when he came in. I'm not making excuses for his success this year but I do think until he can recruit better talent then we can't expect much better results from the team and I don't think the fan base has much tolerance for that to happen. I also think the fans thought the new stadium would bring good players just running to get to play at Bama and again look at the contacting difference in the scholarship programs that are being offered. We can thank Title IX for much of what we have today scholarship wise as well and I'm not blaming the ladies, just saying the SEC could do a better job of the scholarship program or the State of Alabama can vote in a lottery to even up the scholarships being handed out to compare to our neighboring states.

We have basically the same players we had last year. We have two of the weekend starters. We lost a great defensive catcher and we are weak at that position this but we get a better bat at catcher this year. Gaspard was 15-15 in SEC play. I expected us to be competitive this year. We are a joke. I think poor coaching has a lot to do. I certainly did not expect 15-29 and 2-19.

We are at a disadvantage with schools in states with lottery scholarships. That is a different discussion. My concern is we just went from a respectable program to the bottom of the league. Heck, we are the 5th best team in the state this year behind Auburn, South Alabama, Troy and Jacksonville. It is hard for me to blame this on CMG.
