  1. Great attitude and statement. But I don’t know if have the pitching. Still you never know.

  2. Within less than a week of his replacing Mike Garret back in August 2010 the very first thing Pat Haden did was sack Chad Kruetter and placed Frank Cruz in as interim coach and then replaced, in February 2013 replaced Cruz with Hubbs who, in two + years time, has Troy back to the NCAA playoffs for the first time in 10 years.

    Great seeding out in Lake Elsinore – 1st game against VA w. host UCSB vs. San Diego St. this coming weekend.

  3. Baseball is a funny sport– get bombed one day and win 2 straight games against the same good team

    Still, it is 60% on the pitchers, and SC probably is a bit short.

  4. Who recruited the juniors, redshirt seniors and seniors back in 2011 – 2012 which is the team today. It was Frank Cruz mainly. Know he had his problems off the field. Haden’s gigantic offer to Savage gives you an idea what he thought of Hubbs. Haden had no choice at that late date to hire anyone else in 2013 when season started.
    Guess the other 63 teams are not in the tournament to win it all.

    • Good points – then again maybe just maybe Hubbs hire will be akin to Garrett’s per Pete Carroll – time will tell.

      • Steve B is clueless (off the field problems)….he is correct about FRANK setting the table…but there were no off the field problems. (btw….he’s a good friend of mine…..visits this site occasionally). Haden is the guy responsible…..an arrogant horses rear end…
