It’s ridiculous that this team is in such danger of missing the tournament due to losing almost everyone and playing in the best conference in baseball.

There’s been improvement, and anyone who has ever watched a game of baseball knows there aren’t 64 better teams.

This like the story of little league. Give everyone a trophy so they will feel good.

This is exactly what you get when you have parents naming their kid Cashapp or Beyblade, spending tens of thousands a year on travel ball, so they can finish 10th in a tournament and get a plastic ring every weekend.

This years team doesn’t deserve to get in this years tournament based on what last years team accomplished. The 64 teams that deserve a spot will be in and that’s that. Could you imagine a team like Coastal Carolina not getting in the tournament the year they won bc a crappy defending champion took their spot?

Why do we even want to make the postseason? To travel somewhere and get beat?

I guess we might could go on a run but we don't even have a leadoff guy that can get a hit. The batters guess at pitches and seem to want to get at bats over as fast as possible. I don't see this team making a run.

It might be better for CJJ to get some sleep, regroup, and focus hard on the transfer portal to get ready for next year.

No such thing. This isn't Boxing or UFC where there is a title belt that changes hands.

Holy shite get a grip it is their fault they are in danger of missing. Last year's team has nothing to do with that.

I’ll bet you believe everyone should get a participation trophy too.

Why should a team that is a mere shell of last year's automatically qualify for this year's tournament

You have to earn it every year. It's actually a pretty simple concept.

Absolutely not. There is no such thing as defending champions.
LSU will always be the 2023 champion, nothing to defend, this is a new year.

No one is “defending” anything. The 2023 trophy stays in Baton Rouge, and the 2023 players aren’t on the team anymore.

Nonsense. Would you feel this way if Florida was the defending champs?
