Steedley out. Going to White Sox organization. That's gonna hurt.
Nooooo. I loved him. Great guy. But, totally understand that.
This late in the game will hurt us though.

Schedule is finally out. Ho Hum.

Welp, gotta win 35+ for an At Large Birth!

Tough conference slate but at least we get Stink, Coastal, Marsha, and Louisana at home is nice.
Tough trips to Troy and USM.
Troy, USM, Stink, Coastal and Louisiana in the same season? Keith Gil hates us!

Now it makes sense why there were last minute schedule changes.

Too many unknowns. OCC schedule wont really tell anything. SHOULD get a winning record out of it but a lot like all sports - lots of new pieces that will have to mesh quickly.

I'm glad we're easing our way into the season a bit. Our conference schedule is going to be a beast.

Winning season or else year for this staff as I understand it. Right or wrong I’m not qualified to say but that is what I’ve been told.

Hopefully it doesn't get to that and this a moot point.

All it takes is 1 run to get a brand new facility.

Another sugar daddy. Arky State had the worst facilities. Now they don’t. Impressive.

I did see a conceptual rendering for our indoor expansion last week though…progress.

Last season was decent up until the USM and Coastal series, then it fell off a cliff, even against worse teams later in the year.

Losing Steensma and the Saturday guy was also killer. Had no starting depth.
30 days til 1st pitch.

It will be interesting to see how quick they gel this year. Don't think hitting will be a problem. Let's see if this pitching coach is a "guru" as it's been advertised. WEAK non-conf schedule should help make the record look better early. Just like in football you have no idea how these guys are going to perform (most where late pick ups in the TP for a reason) and with most of the same pitching staff back hopefully there are major changes in philosophy being used. Please stay away injury bug!
