| BSB/SB ⚾ Baseball Takes Both Ends of Friday Doubleheader to Sweep Ole Miss

[Bammerboy321]

Sac fly brings another run in. 8-0 Alabama

 

[Bammerboy321]

Another base hit for Alabama. Shelton dropped one right between 2nd and 3rd. Bases loaded again.

 

[Bammerboy321]

This team is so fun to watch

 

[Bammerboy321]

Going to the T4 now. 8-0 Alabama

 

[Bammerboy321]

Oh great infield play. Gets Alabama put of a jam. Still 8-0 Alabama

 

[Bammerboy321]

Andrew Pinckney with the save in the outfield! 8-1 Alabama, but Pickney just robbed OM for a 3-run homer

 

[Bammerboy321]

This ump has the craziest strike zone.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Boom. Nice strike out by Banks. 8-1 Alabama going to the B6

 

[UAgrad93]

12-2 BAMA in 7 innings!!
Offense pounds out 14 hits, 11 walks and only 2 K’s.
McMillan goes 5 2/3 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 run

 

[Bammerboy321]

Need to sweep the series here!

 

[Bammerboy321]

If we sweep, we'll be 16-14 in SEC play with a top 10 RPI. Win a game or two in the SECT, and we absolutely should host.

Jackson has a very good chance of getting that interim tag removed and becoming the HC.

Seniors getting honors before game 2…

Jackson has a very good chance of getting that interim tag removed and becoming the HC.

While he has done a more than admirable job to date with these guys since the dismissal, I’m not so sure Byrne will take off the “interim” tag.
Just too many unknowns to be honest and I don’t think Byrne can run that risk. This is an older roster and with NIL and transfer portal, some guys could make a move. Throw in the draft and even more could be gone. Not saying Jackson isn’t a good coach, it certainly looks as though he is.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Really, really happy for this team.

[UAgrad93]

Final Day deciding A LOT as far as seeding goes for Hoover next week!! Log jam at the top and at the bottom!!!! Chaos!!! BAMA could finish anywhere from 5th to 9th I believe.

Congratulations men! Now let's take care of UK.

It's definitely going to be one of the tougher decisions for Byrne after the season. We're on track to host a regional for the first time since 2006. So Jackson will have that on his resume, along with the possibility of a trip to the Super Regional, which will be Alabama's first appearance since 2010. Usually I would say the interim coach being hired is pretty lazy, but Jackson is proving to be a really good coach. But he's also got a pretty experienced squad that is (rightfully) pissed off and playing great baseball now. Can he sustain it?

I'm also seeing that the Louisville HC says he'll coach anywhere that is committed to baseball. If we decide to fork up and give him the power, then I'd obviously be more in favor of him than Jackson.

Said it before, but it's a crucial time for the baseball program. Usually it has been Florida, Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt as the top dogs. But now auburn and Tennessee both have hired good coaches. In a few years, Texas and OU will be in. So hiring the right coach is critical. Byrne cannot fuck this up.
