About where I expected after this weekend. Hopefully our pitching keeps improving.
Hope so too but our pitching has been pretty darn good this year. I know everyone seems to want perfection all the time but our pitching staff has only allowed more than 5 runs in 2 games so far this year and one of those was the first game of the year where the freshmen imploded. That's not too shabby folks.
Let's see. UNM wins 2 from a directional school that came in with a 6-5 record and no wins vs anybody of consequence, then follows that up with a 3-game sweep of SWAC school Grambling State who came into the series 4-6, having beaten nobody of consequence and having also been swept at home vs unranked Pitt, and that earns them a 4-spot bump.
We beat a very solid USA, who came into our game 9-3, with a win over UGA and a 2-game sweep of USM, sweep a 3-game series vs then #9 Oregon, who came into our series 8-2 with two 1-run losses, and we get just a single spot more of a bump?
I really thought we'd jump over Cal & NC State. UNM was able to jump over teams they didn't beat that were 5 spots ahead. Other than Oregon, who we dispatched ourselves, we only got bumped over teams that were within 4 spots ahead. Doesn't seem right to me.
I guess I am more concerned with sometimes we have problems with walks. Overall it might not be a problem but it seems like even when Hudson was throwing good we still throw too many pitches. I understand some of the freshmen having that issue but as good as Hudson has been it seems like he is all over the place.
We have a big opportunity this coming weekend to help our ranking
Let's not worry about OM. I feel this ranking adequately reflects who we really are...
Just wanted to mention that apparently FAU is still pretty damn good. They did lose to the St. Louis Cardinals 13-6 though.
