State of MSU at the Midway Point of SEC play

[Coach34]

Many of you know baseball at all levels much better than me (Starting 7th Grade Second Baseman in '68, but many games attended since!). My question, How in this world are we now 2 1/2 years past a NC and have so many holes in the lineup, questionable Bullpen with no closer, no 3rd baseman, questionable 2nd baseman, backup catcher that has thrown no one out, little hitting in order 6-9, no DH, no bench, playing guys left on left batting or hitting 0.00 or others less than the Mendosa line? Heck you have to add the batting averages of a couple of the past weekend's disaster to even reach the Mendoza line. Looks to me the wheels are still off, except maybe a couple back on since 14th followed by 13th in the league. Also appears to me the league is top heavy, ala MBB in the NCAA tourney.

This is an example of taking a fine tooth comb to us without even looking at the other SEC teams and things they have going...Our stats compared to the rest of the SEC are solid

Hitting? All Games- 7th in Avg, 9th in OBP, 9th runs scored, 7th in BB's and 4th in fewest K's...SEC Only- 8th in Avg, 6th in OBP, 5th in Runs scored, 7th in BB's and 5th in fewest K's- so basically top half in almost everything in SEC-only games....these stats conflict alot with your post

Pitching? 6th in ERA...7th in BA allowed...5th in Runs allowed...6th in BB's allowed...8th in K's.....SEC-Only? 5th in ERA...4th in BA allowed...4th in runs allowed..9th in BB's...9th in K's

Fielding? Tied for 1st in the SEC and one of the best in the country

People acting like we suck simply arent paying attention or just stirring the pot because they want a change no matter what happens

So except for fielding about mid-pack or so? You're right. I don't watch other teams unless I am at the Dude watching us play them. I don't care how they are doing against other opposition in football, MBB, or baseball. I just care about how we are doing and if we are playing to our potential and hopefully winning when we should and being competitive and interesting to $upport and watch. Don't claim to be an expert, just a 55 year plus fan from my youth. Hail State and sweep AU!
