If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 3:00 PM

The seed would indicate yes.

at the beginning of the year no, but in our current position I'll be disappointed if we don't make it out of our regional, and still slightly disappointed if we don't make it out the super, even though Duke is a tough team.

How could and ACC Championship be a disappointing season.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We went from barely hosting a regional to a national seed


Jun 1, 2016, 3:09 PM

I obviously would like to make it to Omaha and at least expect a Super, but everything so far has far exceeded expectations and I'd be upset, but in no way would call it a disappointment.

A better question is, who predicted a Nat'l seed this yr?


Jun 1, 2016, 3:17 PM

Answer: Nobody.

Monte has more than met expectations in his first year.

The best is yet to come.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Screw Calford.


no not all! We have far exceeded my expectations this year


Jun 1, 2016, 3:18 PM

Now next season might be different but I just wanted us to get to host a regional again. That plus 40 wins and two out of three vs coots makes it pretty good

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 3:21 PM

Heck no. We have gotten this far with basically 1 above average pitcher, 2-3 decent pitchers and a bunch of inconsistency from the rest of the staff, not to mention at times horrible infield defense. If we are able to find a couple of guys to come out of the pen next year Omaha will no doubt be the benchmark. This year however, being a national seed far exceeds expectations so anything more will be icing on the cake.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It would be disappointing and you're lying to yourself


Jun 1, 2016, 3:22 PM

to say otherwise. It wouldn't be anything that should make anyone mad though. Lee is playing with house money right now.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

GO TIGERS!!


Re: It would be disappointing and you're lying to yourself


Jun 1, 2016, 3:28 PM

Given our draw in our regional, yeah, we "should in theory" advance to the super.

I have no expectations beyond that, really. Of course, beating the coots is always awesome, isn't it?

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Screw Calford.


I think any national seed should expect Omaha...


Jun 1, 2016, 3:25 PM

...that said, if we don't make it (as long as the Capons aren't our undoing) then not getting there will not diminish from what has been an enjoyable ride that has kept DT at bay.

badge-donor-20yr.jpgbadge-ringofhonor-revdodd.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Of Course it is!


Jun 1, 2016, 3:45 PM

If we don't win a National Championship in EVERY sport we compete in, I'm disappointed...

...but that's because I'm not sure how to separate my 'unrealistic expectations' from disappointment... still!

;)

GO TIGERS!!!!

Whatever choice(s) you make makes you. Choose wisely.


It's on the hats


Jun 1, 2016, 3:47 PM

therefor not getting there is a disappointment.

That said, this team has already far exceeded my expectations and every media prediction.

Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 3:48 PM

Was I disappointed when we lost in the National Championship? Yes, but it only lasted a day. I will always have that feeling no matter who Clemson is playing, but the lingering feeling even thinking back over the years that creates the real disappointment.

Of course!! I'm still hurting over the football Natl champ.


Jun 1, 2016, 3:53 PM

But both have had incredibly successful seasons that we Tigers should be proud of.

I'll be disappointed if The Tigers don't make it. Just like


Jun 1, 2016, 3:57 PM

every other year...

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


no, but with one caveat


Jun 1, 2016, 4:19 PM

if the Chickens come to Clemson and beat us and THEY go to Omaha. THAT will cause a major disturbance, even more than if we lose to West Carolina this weekend.

And you know why.

Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 4:19 PM

I dont think so. You get to put a banner up this year in a year when making anything postseason was meant to be a stretch. Losing the regional would be a bit of a downer since we are set up to host a super but we brought home a big trophy and are hosting a regional. Big time progress. Good year

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 10:47 PM

Championships brings elite recruits whom may feel they could make a different if the regional doesn't go as planned. And, that's a (PLUS), not a disappointment for FUTURE PROGRESS.

Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 4:20 PM

I don't think so bc, there wasn't many giving us a chance to be in the ACC tourney, and surely not the regionals. Nobody in college baseball including our own ever gave thought to us being in Omaha. I want us to win, and I hope that we keep winning, but I wouldn't be angry or upset if we went no further.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Gonna be really hard to beat UNCW out of Columbia in a best of 3


Jun 1, 2016, 5:36 PM

We did beat them twice in the regular season, but only by a combined few runs.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There has to be some separation between being personally


Jun 1, 2016, 5:46 PM

disappointed vs considering the team to be some type of disappointment. The 2008 football team was a disappointment. This baseball team has been the polar opposite. I'll be a little bummed when/if we are eliminated (and even more so if it's the Coots that beat us) just as i always am when any season ends, but in no way at all will i be disappointed in this team.

And i believe i heard last week that roughly 55% of national seeds make it to Omaha. It's not like a team should be "expected" to make it just because they are a national seed.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

thank you for the favor of a well-thought out response....


Jun 1, 2016, 6:51 PM

my gawd, sometimes you're just ### sure such responses

can't be found on TNET at all.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not IMO. Look at where we were 365 days ago.


Jun 1, 2016, 5:48 PM

If you'd have told me this time last year that (or rather after hiring CML) that we'd be hosting a regional, I'd have had a hard time believing it. I think I heard Sturgis say it on radio yesterday, but we're "playing with house $ now". Anything on top of what we've accomplished thus far is just icing on the cake IMHO. Will I hate to lose if we do? Absolutely! However, I'd have taken hosting a regional if you'd have told me that at the beginning of the season.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


If We Don't Win Our Regional Yes It Would Be


Jun 1, 2016, 8:40 PM

If we lost Super Regional it would be a bummer, but this team has over delivered already

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: If we do not make Omaha is it a disappointment?


Jun 1, 2016, 10:24 PM

Not a disappointment at all.

Plying with house money now. The team isn't as talented as the UL or UVA teams they beat. Probably not the FSU team either, we just have their number. Plus in the tournament hitting 1 for 20+ with runners in scoring position was bad. We can't do that at our park. Durham was a hitters park. DKS is only if the wind blows out.

I expect to get through the regional if we beat WC. The Super will depend on who it is against. If it's the dirt peckers anything can happen in rivalry games. If it's anybody else in their regional it's very doable.
