Last season we went 9-21. We got swept in 4 of our 10 SEC series. A sweep is a killer. You have to avoid sweeps.

Let's say a team wins 8 SEC series (2 games of 3), and is swept twice. Your final record is 16-14 (barely over .500) yet you won 8 of the 10 series that you played. That is the power of the sweep.
