There weren’t a lot of positives to take away from the diamond this Easter weekend, but one was the emergence of Rory the Dog.
Since its opening night of SEC play with a shelling of No. 1 Arkansas, the Crimson Tide’s injury woes on the mound, a brutal schedule, and lack of timely hitting have the Crimson Tide program in a serious funk. Alabama sits at just 2-7 in the league after facing three straight programs ranked in the Top 6 of Baseball America’s Top 25.
This was always going to be a slow rebound for Coach Bohannon; no one seriously expected this to take anything less than a 3-5 year turnaround.
