I really can't see this team hosting a regional. We were just way too over hyped
coming into the year. Yeah, we've had some injuries that haven't helped (Young, Shelley, Cox, Brown???) but I'm not sure how much overall effect that's had. The bigger issue is the experienced guys that have either regressed or not shown any improvement whatsoever. I'm talking about guys like Detz, Rea, Holder, Robson, Hann, Britton. Vick has been a major disappointment and hasn't lived up to the hype and neither has Woodruff. Let's not even discuss our catching woes. Our much hyped frosh class hasn't produced like many thought, but it's early for them so they have plenty o' time. I did think Hudson would've been a major contributor though. I'd start playing the youngsters like Garner, Humphries and Collins. They can't be any worse and they are our future. Plus, they have a lot more pop than some of the guys getting p/t ahead of them.
I disagree with you on a lot of things but 100% agree on the lineup. Shit, it's time
to try something else cause what we're doing just isn't cutting it.
Sure we were over hyped. We were ranked as high as 2 in one poll and top 10
in virtually all the others. Our pitching is statistically about the same as last year and while the defense is better they aren't enough to make up for our lack of offense. We heard all fall about how much better overall offensively we would be and that we would have more power than last year and that we could easily overcome the absence of Frazier and Renfro in the lineup and that Woody would be dominant and so would Hudson. Yeah, we were over hyped.
