I know it's still early but the part that gives me the most hope is how hard and intense we're playing. A lot of folks probably don't notice the little things that make a difference between winning and losing and in baseball little things are huge. Here's just a few example: in the inning when we run ruled lsu, on back to back abs, Hujsak and Downs both beat out infield grown balls because as soon as the made contact they were head down busting their butts to first and not loafing because they hit ground balls. If they're not head down hustling from the first step thats 2 outs and inning over. Who know what can happen at that point. Against memphis tuesday night. Johnny Long 2 strikes and 2 outs, runners on second and third. Johnny chokes up and just punches a good into the ground toward first but nobody covers and he beats it out and run scores and the inning continues. Also, I've noticed Hujsak, Downs and Long especially choke up and shorten up with 2 strikes. You hardly ever see that in baseball anymore, but it's allowed them to put balls in play and get hits and drive in runs instead of taking a big swing and k ing. It's a team approach we're seeing now and everyone just doing their job and playing hard. There's many more examples of this kind of baseball this year, but due to brevity just wanted to show a few. You don't have to be beasts to succeed in baseball, just have to be where the sum is greater than the parts, and that's the kind of baseball i love watching because its fun! Add all these thing to good pitching and great defense and you've got the makings of a great team. THis is fun!
