Good chance today for an RPI boost. UF is pitching a freshman LHP who has been pretty good this year. It'll be interesting to see if we start Cumbest in LF with our lefty heavy lineup.

We really need a win today so we can get UT. I feel like a head to head win could help us leapfrog them in national seeding. Especially a head to head win with probably both teams number 1's going.

the analytics don't agree with what we are doing though. We just automatically shift no matter the situtation. Analytics don't say shift on a righty with a man at 1st base unless you have tons of data that a guy is a dead pull hitter which there's no way we could have.

Shifting is who we are at this point. If we're shifting, I'm trusting our staff is pitching to that shift. Shifting isn't always what gets you beat... location of pitches does too. Now granted, I have no idea on my radio is we were pitching to our shift, and I also have no idea if Florida hitters should be shifted on

We're pretty overrated in some areas. Outside of Sims, you don't have a guy that you can 100% trust. Mac and Bednar are good when they're on, but they're inconsistent. The rest of the bullpen can be good at times, but it seems like if one thing goes wrong, it spirals out of control. We don't have the mental toughness that teams of the past have had. The top of the order is good, but we just have too many holes, and our defense is atrocious. So yeah... we can easily get beat in a regional.

Cooterpoot
05-26-2021, 10:35 AM
We lead the world in K's but the defense is the worst I can remember, and pitching has been very inconsistent minus three guys.
We chose not to throw our Friday guy in game one like everyone else. I'm ok with that. Let's get some extra rest.

If Leggett is going to make errors then just put James back at 3B. It's honestly more advantageous for us. It gets Cumbest in the lineup and Clark out of LF, where he doesn't look comfortable at all.

Also, is it just me or has Tanner looked pedestrian behind the plate for about the last 3 weeks? I don't know that he's thrown a guy out since OM.

Why not rest him here? It makes no sense to me. He's really struggling defensively and he's better than that. Put Hancock back there and rest him. This one is over.

Hell we treated it like a midweek in the pitching dept. It probably wouldn't have been a bad idea to let him DH today, and get Clark at 1B. Of course that would've meant taking out either Leggett or James.

We lead the SEC in wild pitches by a wide margin. 12 more than the 2nd place team. All of that is not on the pitchers.

In our recruiting, I think we need to put more emphasis on defense

Well, our defense hasn't been good since this staff took over. We need to change how we work fielding too. But think about this, you have 2 former 1B in the outfield today and a former LF in CF. C at 1B, former MIF at 3B. FR at SS.

Lemonis really needs to look at Cumbest in LF, James at 3B, and Clark at DH. It makes us better in every way except defensively at 3B, but even there it's just a small dropoff.

Landon Jordan leaving screwed us. He wasn't going to set the world on fire, but he solves a lot of these problems.

And the good news is that if he looks bad, they'll just run rule us and we'll be out of there quicker.

I love shifts. I think they're a huge weapon. With that said, I wonder how much scouting opposing batters we do. Are we shifting bc of spray charts or sorta guessing?

The company we hire to do our advanced analytics on the other team's batters gives literally every stat imaginable.

This. I've been saying James has to play in the field. It's the only option. And his hitting fell off when we pulled him off the field too. Screw defense. We aren't good regardless.

Cerantola works too slow. He comes set and stares at the plate a good 3 seconds before he throws it.

Grip it and rip it. Stop thinking.

Our problem is, and it's been a problem all year, is that we have a bunch of front runners. We have 3 or 4 DAWGS on our team who will get in people's faces and battle til the end. Those would be TA, Sims, Bednar, and Rowdey. The rest are still living on the backs of the 2018 and 2019 teams.

We need some guys with some F You to step up and be another leader.

What about Davis Meche? He can prolly hit 230 and it would be good to get him experience. Our 3B situation is unprecedented for me, we look like an intermural team at times.

In 2016, JC moved Gavin Collins there and felt a bit exposed, but Collins had a solid season. In 2019, MSU had Marshall Gilbert out there and he looked good. Gilbert was a catcher until then.
