: Until recently, ASU missing the NCAA's was an aberration.
: Before CTS, ASU missed:
: 2012
: 1999
: 1996
: 1995
: 1991
: 1986
: 1985

: Even with Esmay, the program was at least in the hunt.
: This season, with the purposely designed soft schedule for the pre-conference portion, the record was an illusion.
: With the short squad, the failure to develop pitching, the really poor record against the quality conference opponents, how can anyone - especially Ray Anderson - argue that the program is on a positive upswing?
: I can't tell that recruiting is improving - but I will acknowledge, it is not terrible. Having a short squad is inexcusable.
: But ASU is no longer competitive with the elite in college baseball. I have no confidence that CTS will get the program to the expected level. is this now the new norm - competing to (perhaps) hold on and make (forget hosting) a regional, every so often, and then getting bounced?
: The question for Ray Anderson - on what basis do you believe CTS will re-establish ASU as a premier college baseball program?
Tracy is a magician. He talks about ASU losing a close one on Friday, that could have turned on any play. Then he talks about getting beaten like a drum yesterday, but the score doesn't matter.
I am so tired of his crap. He will never admit he is simply getting outcoached and he does not have this team prepared. He loaded the schedule with creampuffs so he could rack up a few wins and not get fired mid-season.
The question is whether Ray's ego is too big for him to correct his enormous error and get rid of this fraud.
Go Devils!
