I got a feeling Kenny Baker might have been a great under the radar hire that people are going to look back at and go WTF were we thinking with their negative takes...
Their backchannelling for a head coach failed because they had what sounds like a short list of 3 and one was unrealistic, one said no, and one looks like he is going to MSU….
instead of being reasonable and having a real process they are instead going to make the same mistake as last time and let the pipedream of Early keeping the core via NIL and player “development” win the day.
How many of their big “stars” are returning? Who thinks they will be able to now moneywhip players from the portal to choose A&M and Early in particular to be their last stop before the MLB draft?
Last year they could sell hope and the illusion of the unknown. Now they have the specter of being swept by Mizzou and the dark cloud of almost firing their HC hang over their heads…
I don't like how soft baseball has become, but those are rules now.
You got to atleast try to mask it. Just like the various hard slide rules into 2nd base now. It is not the game we grew up with, but it is the game these kids have been around forever.
