Postgame Reactions: Auburn takes the series at Mississippi State (5-9-26)

Hang on, let me ...

I want to take on your point, because look, if we can't go to our cars today saying that we're guaranteed to be playing here in a couple of weeks.

I would ...

No, not at, not at all.

And, you know, we left here Friday night and, and I thought we looked like the much better team.

And, and this is why baseball's so crazy.

I thought we were the much better team f- Thursday night.

Last night I left here saying these teams are even.

Today I leave here saying Auburn's better than we are.

Yeah.

And that's the ... that's just, that's where you are in this game with baseball and just how the maturation of the weekend.

And, um, it is a g- a good weekend for them and, a- today, I mean, it ... [laughs] After the game's over with we got 250, 300 kids running the bases, and I felt like that was [laughs] the most effort I saw all day.

And so, anyway.

I mean, it really was.

I mean, it, it was kind of an ...

I mean, it's c- you talk about the non-compete, it, it kind of felt that way.

It kind of felt like they just-

Yeah

... weren't, where they were just kind of going through the motions.

And it was every single facet of the game.

The pitching staff really struggled.

They couldn't defend very well.

The offensive approach wasn't there.

I thought the first two innings w- kind of told you the tale for the day.

You know, you get five guys on base with two outs, and they were so good with two outs on Thursday night, they were non-competitive.
