This is the best team we've ever had. Right?
I don't think it's even close....
We may have had a better "ace" several times in the past...but we're deeper at pitcher than we've ever been. We're as good on defense as we've ever been, and this is clearly the best offensive team we've ever had.

better at this point. That being said this team is capable of doing something special.

Granted, one truly all time great pitcher cures a lot of ills. Should have put "team" in quotation marks.

game series would be a little harder. The 2022 team was stout, but this years team's bats are the best I have seen.

seed.
Played FSU when they were #2, won the series and run ruled them.
This season is similar to the past 3 years. Bubble host team, lotta wins, questionable losses. Let's see how we do in the postseason. Make it to the supers, and we'll say it's Pete's second best team.
Still not on par with the Tincher teams, all because of one player who took us to the CWS.

. . . argue that we've been much better. Of course that's a big if.

If we can pitch like the last 2 days and we can continue to hit, maybe. Tomorrow will be a great litmus test. I really like this team a lot. Best ever? I am just not there yet.

Been great the past 2 games and good the rest of the year. We don’t give up HR’s as in the past couple of years. Hitting has been good but FSU has a tremendous scouting staff and I’m sure they have spotted the holes and weaknesses in all of our swings. To be the best team we have ever had we will have to make it OKC and then we can begin the discussion. IMO which actually means very little. Don’t get me wrong, we are very good but the best? We ain’t there yet. And I did say yet…….
