We're getting better. Bottom line.
All of the pitchers looked good tonight. We didn't walk the house. Didn't have to use Auger or Fristoe. The guys that have been slumping got right for the most part tonight and we tied a school record for home runs in a game. Most importantly we got a win. Kind of wish we didn't have the run rule in place to get some freshman pitchers like Walker and Cheatham some work.
A lot of us have been critical of the coaches this year including me. But I can tell that our players have been making some adjustments and that goes back to coaching. I don't want to pat them on the back until June but if this team keeps improving like they are we'll make another run in the postseason.
Hopefully we'll add Tepper to the bullpen along with Auger and Fristoe. That's two good outings for him in a row. The biggest thing was seeing KC Hunt pitch well. If we can stretch him out we can essentially use him like we did Preston last year or we can possibly start him and move Preston back to the bullpen. It's a work in progress though. We can tread water in the meantime and I'm sure Hunt will still be available out of the bullpen which helps. Good to see Brandon Smith pitch well too.
Don't worry about RPI right now. All we need to do is win games. If we do that we should make a big jump the next two weeks. Heck winning one against Arkansas caused us to jump 30 points. If we keep winning we'll get in the regionals and that is the most important thing to do. At 18-12 and 4-5 in the SEC- we're in decent shape.
I'm expecting our guys to come out confident this weekend against LSU. Always a big series and no exception this year.
