The loss today kept anything from being locked as far as hosting. However, if UK wins Tuesday then they will be a regional host. Lose and maybe not. UK has to make a serious run in Hoover to get a top 8 National Seed at this point. UK went 4-6 in SEC series this year. That’s not National Seed stuff unfortunately.
I think you're right on Bama.
Auburn now ahead of us at 17-13 (though behind us in RPI).
UT is killing USC in the rubber match so they have tied us but own the head to head. I heard the commentator say that they are locked into the 9 seed in Hoover. Hopefully, we are not the 8.
Agreed on WVU and Duke, though we got no favors from Clemson and UVA this weekend.
I'm still nervous, and I worry that a Tuesday loss in Hoover may have us out.
I agree, and your logic is sound. IMO, a 4-6 series record is a black mark (especially considering two of the losses are to UGA and A&M), but the top end wins are outstanding. Also, we avoided sweeps by all of the good teams except vandy where we coughed up the Sunday game.
But, when have we ever been given any kind of a break from the NCAA selection committee? We were screwed a couple of times not getting in the last few years, we got screwed the one year when we had an outstanding year and they sent us to Gary, IN.
This year, there are 9 SEC teams with hosting resumes so I guess I'm expecting a screw job.
I was at today's game. It's sickening that Strick lost that game as he was absolutely on fire today.
I wanted to kill Ming when he tried to squeeze Burkes home early in the game. Just mindnumbingly dumb. Almost as bad as our 8th inning base running debacle last night.
I didn't love our approach at the plate today. We just could not get anything going and had zero clutch hits. We definitely had our chances.
The difference in the game was that we made two mistakes in the seventh (a leadoff walk and then a dumb throw to first by our normally outstanding SS) that were both cashed in.
Today was a very tough loss to stomach and it sucks becasuse winning this series would have put us right in the mix for a top 8 seed. The silver lining is that there wasn't a ton separating UF and UK this weekend. We could easily have won all three games. Hope the team carries that fact with them to Hoover and beyond.

I don't disagree with you, but after this year we have to give him more time. Time to prove that he's righted the ship.
The game was tied in the 7th inning and the wheels fell off when we made some questionable pitching choices. I was at the game.
He still does things that drive me insane, but there won't be a change after the season we just had. We're in the tourney and that's considered success here. I think if we host a regional, that's probably adds yet another year on to his contract.
The silver lining is that he seems to excel at using the portal (as opposed to Mcdonnell who hates the portal and is struggling b/c of it). So, maybe that will help us to maintain some success.
Mingione has no choice but to use the portal. His high school recruiting has been absolutely horrible.
