Bama Baseball

[2Stater]

Bama lost 9-1. Bama gets swept by the Dogs. The season is over at 30-26. We do not make it to B’ham for the third year in a row. We made some progress this year but we have a long way to go.

Very disappointing. Not sure how we can play so well with the OOC schedule and tank so bad against the SEC. I understand that the SEC teams we played were all ranked teams, but we got the crap beat out of us in most those games. Another sucky year for baseball.

What's next best to winning the SEC baseball tournament?
AUBURN GIVING AWAY A GAME AND GOING HOME.  

No. 5 seed LSU beat No. 8 seed Auburn in a 4-3 come-from-behind victory that ended on a wild play that scored two LSU runs from an Auburn wild pitch and eventual throwing error.

LSU had runners on second and third with one out and was down 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth. With pinch hitter Chris Reid at the plate and reliever Brooks Fuller fresh from the bullpen, Fuller hurled his first pitch short and in the dirt.

Auburn catcher Matt Scheffler blocked the wild pitch, but as he tossed his catcher's mask and searched the ground for the ball he accidentally kicked it towards the first base dugout.

LSU's Giovanni DiGiacomo scored the tying run from third while Auburn first baseman Rankin Woley scrambled to the ball. Woley grabbed the ball, slid and errantly threw the ball over Scheffler's head and towards the third base dugout.

Auburn third baseman Edouard Julien sprinted to the ball but LSU's Drew Bianco was in full sprint and well on his way to crossing home for the winning run.

This year did not go the way any of us wanted. Coach Bo is having to rebuild the program. IMO he is making progress. The SEC win/loss total of 7-23 is terrible but the non-conference record of 23-3 is outstanding. The SEC is as strong top to bottom as I have ever seen it. The SEC is by far the premier baseball conference in the NCAA. According to Warren Nolan we played the 14th SOS and had an RPI of 40. A big improvement from last year even though the conference win total does not reflect.

Coach Bo is know as a top recruiter. Last November in the early period he signed 14 new players for next season. The signing class is rated #10 by Baseball America. The SEC has 7 teams in the top 12 recruiting rankings.

I am optimistic that we will see improvement again next year. Coach Bo is slowly getting his players in place.

The Crimson Tide's class is rated No. 10 by Baseball America, joining six other SEC teams that rank amongst the publication's top 12 classes in the initial rankings. The Tide cemented its standout recruiting class with nine of the 12 high school players signed being ranked in the top 10 of their respective state by Perfect Game USA. Five of the Tide's signees hail from Alabama, including the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 players in the state. The 2019-20 class also includes players from the states of Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee and Wisconsin, in addition to one Canadian from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Alabama's coaching staff helped secure some of the top players coming out of high school and the junior college ranks thanks to a combined effort from assistants Jason Jackson and Jerry Zulli along with Bohannon. In the class of 14 signees, Alabama welcomes six pitchers, five infielders, a pair of catchers and one outfielder.
