Can they provide a catcher?

Analytically there is a lot to like about our team.

We have a .331 team BA. We have multiple guys with OBP% over .400. We have 68 XB hits already on the year, we had 187 all of last year. Teams are batting .174 against us We have a team ERA of 2.81, which includes JT Schnoor's impressive 81.00 ERA. We have 3.5:1 K/BB ratio.

We just have to cut down on the bad starts, either offensively or defensively. Against USM in Hattiesburg, OSU, and Arizona our starters were bad. And against Troy we left the town of Crawford on base.

Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for you.

You're not wrong. He did do most of the LOB'ing that night. It just sucks because he's far and away the best defensive option we have at 1B. We need him to hit. We don't need it to be like Hatcher

Some of these rankings are absurd and shows you how good the SEC is. We're top 10 in the country and in all but one we're between 3-5 in our own conference. That's just absurd.

If I'm not mistaken, we have had the tying or winning run on base in the 9th inning in each of our 4 losses. The fact is that we lost all 4 games. However, we could easily be sitting here with just 1 or 2 losses and everybody would be feeling differently. These things tend to even out. We just need to keep hitting well and pitching well.

Well the first 6 weekends are going to be a meat grinder. We play 5 top 20 teams in the first 6 weekends. If we can come out of that 10-8 or better then I think we got a really good shot to host.

There are a couple of holes in the current lineup and other than the 4 losses our schedule consist of pretty weak baseball teams minus USM using a bullpen game against us. I'd put very little stock in this past weekend they were bad. Show me the analytics three weeks from now.

[State82]

I'd put very little stock in this past weekend they were bad.

Not even very little stock. Zero stock. We had no business playing that team. No idea what the reasoning was but I assume it was a favor for someone.

The entire SEC played turds this past weekend to get ready for SEC play

[StarkVegasSteve]

Not even very little stock. Zero stock. We had no business playing that team. No idea what the reasoning was but I assume it was a favor for someone.

Kentucky-Wofford
Georgia-Columbia
Arkansas-Portland
Tennessee-St. Bonaventure
Oklahoma-Sam Houston St
South Carolina-Morehead St
Vanderbilt-Xavier
Texas-Santa Clara
LSU-North Alabama
Missouri-Binghamton
A&M-New Mexico St
MSU-Queens
Ole Miss-Jax State
Bama-Prebyterian
Auburn-Old Dominion
Florida-Harvard


No one had any business playing the teams they did, except maybe Vandy and Oklahoma. Xavier and Sam Houston are complete dog shit. That's the point of these early season non con games. It's spring training.

This is dead on. We had what 20 strikeouts and double hits of Troy and invented a way to lose. We are very close to being real good.

Any team we beat sucks and every team we lose to is good. Except USM because we beat them and they lost to us. This is because we only beat bad teams and good teams beat us.

We have a .331 team BA. We have multiple guys with OBP% over .400. We have 68 XB hits already on the year, we had 187 all of last year. Teams are batting .174 against us We have a team ERA of 2.81, which includes JT Schnoor's impressive 81.00 ERA. We have 3.5:1 K/BB ratio.

We just have to cut down on the bad starts, either offensively or defensively. Against USM in Hattiesburg, OSU, and Arizona our starters were bad. And against Troy we left the town of Crawford on base.

I thought our pitching against USM in Hattiesburg was pretty good overall. We allowed three runs and the issue there was we got shut out.

Yes, Hines was bad against Troy but again that was the game where if we don't have pitcher tryouts we probably win 5-1. I would have understood Schnoor pitching against Jackson State but not against a top 25 team.

Starters were bad against Arizona and Oklahoma State- I agree there. Also, again Fortenberry had a bad game turning a win into a loss.

So the biggest issue to me looking at it in general is we have to do a better job of evaluating who our starting pitchers should be and also when and how we use relief pitchers early in the season. Guys like Schnoor should have made an appearance against Manhatten- not a top 25 team. In the meantime we're getting Luke Dotson multiple appearances early including twice in one weekend that we easily swept.

To be honest, if we had the 34 man roster limits or whatever they come up with we're probably 13-2 right now. It feels like we have almost too many pitchers and we can't spread the work around enough.

[Todd4State]

It won't be like Hatcher because we have Stallman, Stevens, and Frei that can all play first base. It looked to me like Hines has made some adjustments at least for this past weekend and it has resulted in him getting more hits and doing more damage. We'll see if that continues but it is encouraging. He was staying back way more and he was using the middle of the field way better. I thought Hunter was very solid this weekend.

[Todd4State]

Well the first 6 weekends are going to be a meat grinder. We play 5 top 20 teams in the first 6 weekends. If we can come out of that 10-8 or better then I think we got a really good shot to host.

This is true. This weekend vs Texas is really big. If we win that series I think we're going to be in good shape for the rest of the year. Even if we don't win still good chance we'll be Ok.

[Todd4State]

He needs to be hitting 8th instead of 5th/

Maybe lower than 5th but I don't think he needs to be 8th. His batting average has climbed up 40 points in one week. And despite his struggles he is tied for fourth on the team in home runs- same number as Noah Sullivan and he is 5th on the team in RBI's.

If he can continue to stay with the same approach he used against Queens he is going to do some damage the rest of the season.

Agree. He swung it well last weekend. Let's hope it continues.
