Here We Go Again?

The Auburn men's baseball team just finished on the wrong end of a sweep at the hands of Florida State. Auburn played tough, losing the first three games by a combined 4 runs before losing 10-1 in the Sunday finale.

They have not made the SEC tournament since 2003 and finished no better than 5th in the SEC West since then. Head coach Tom Slater's SEC record is 32-58. 32 and 58! This includes two straight last place finishes in the West including last year's 8 game losing streak to start the SEC season. This is unacceptable. Auburn, at a minimum, should be making the SEC tournament every year which also guarantees an NCAA tournament bid. This is an incredibly young team without a single senior on the roster so growing pains are to be expected but another year like 2007 shouldn't happen again. The schedule is long and the SEC is always tough but this team should be competitive and make a run at the tournament. WRAS isn't expecting a SEC championship this year but wants to see progress in this team, a last place finish again in the SEC West could and should facilitate a change in the head coaching position on the Plains.
