Saturday is now a double header at MTSU beginning at 1 pm.
Yes, Their facility is very nice. Cages raise up and there is a full turf infield to use.

nothing shows that we need a hitting facility better than this season
A lot of truth there.
A lot of truth there.[/quote] How much would a good indoor facility cost?
A metal shed building would run you about 200-300k. School isn’t going to build anything without it fitting into the aesthetic of campus so you’d have to tack on probably double.
Personally, I think they should build an indoor complex with batting and pitching cages, practice range for golf, and an indoor track and field.
Jobu say he do his part. Defense must back Jobu up.
The bats finally came to life. Down 6-0, we had a 2 run HR from Sherer and then a grand slam from Nichting to tie the game in the 8th Then we manufacture a run for them.
We have our 2 best guys going tomorrow so lets play some defense behind them and take the series.

CCU built theirs for $1.2 mill.

CCU built theirs for $1.2 mill.[/quote]Theirs was open-air concept right, so if we wanted something more on that level, cost would rise (walls/brick and HVAC system).

Pitching cage? Is that like a batting pen?
We could have built 20 indoor batting facilities with what it cost to build that 150 seat tennis stadium.

They serve the same purpose rook. Sorry I didn’t refer to it as a pitching pen. End of the world. You could speak to the point of facilities but that’s never your style.

Trust me, I’d like nothing better than to donate enough (specifically) to upgrade baseball.
If someone donates money for a specific purpose, do you want the AD to turn it down or try to convince the donors that their purpose is wrong?

I heard years ago that baseball players raised money to upgrade the old baseball field. Supposedly the AD redirected that money to something else. This was 5 or 6 years before the new baseball facility. Do we have a double standard? EVERYONE knows the AD hates the baseball program.

Never heard about that baseball deal.

I heard the baseball story from some former players. Perhaps they all made it up.

As bad as I dislike our management decisions- thats not a valid story
