: Until recently, ASU missing the NCAA's was an aberration.

: Before CTS, ASU missed:
: 2012
: 1999
: 1996
: 1995
: 1991
: 1986
: 1985
: 1980
: 1979
: 1974
: 1971
: 1970...

: 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?


Smith canr compete with Esmays record. ASU missed 2012 only because of ncaa violations from Murphy.
