The Fresno State baseball team underachieved all season long, and then with their backs to the wall, pulled together and won the WAC tournament.
Advancing past the Irvine Regionals will not be easy, but then again, look what the Bulldogs did last year.
This team, though not entirely the same, still seems to have that fight in them. I just wonder if they have enough to not only get through this round, but make it to the super regionals and just maybe, a chance to repeat.
What do you fans out there think?
I think it is rather unlikely that the wonderdogs will repeat as champions, and almost as equally unlikely that they will get to the Super Regionals. It is very improbable with the current pitching staff they have, which is undermanned and seriously depleted. Even during a hot streak of winning and late inning homerun heroics, it is unrealistic to expect a similar feat to occur again. With equally bad timing to lose your RBI leading first baseman to suspension and also to count on numerous unproven freshmen, I just do not see things boding well for these overachievers as of late. But I could be wrong, just like many were last year, but this year seems more obvious to me that the outcome will be different. I hope I am wrong. Let's hope for a miracle.
