It was obvious to me. Kentucky's closer is unbelievableQuote:

We do some things really well. But then we are AWFUL at other things. There isn't an in between for our players.Quote:

Rooker is probably the best hitter in college baseball right now but with the rest of what's around him if we make a regional and it ends there its been a successful year given the shape this team is in. We don't have enough arms an we only have about 3 or 4 real hitters in the lineup. Tough to do anymore than just make postseason with that recipe. We did a lot of little things right last weekend to sweep OM but tonight the little things were not done well and we lose. Our margin for error to win against quality SEC opponents is razor thin.
How many pass balls tonight? 4 wild pitches and some of those lovelady should've stoppedQuote:

Pretty sure Tuesday was a sign that I failed to see. We have been playing above our heads and regression in progress.
We need a win tomorrow really bad
Too many. I would be all for a change there but the fact of the matter is there really aren't very many options. It has been a problem all year. I can't get too pissed about it because like I said there aren't very many options and there are none that have proven to be better. I don't want Stovall back there with his hamstring issues. Honestly as long as they're putting out a satisfactory effort and if they have a winning season and go to a regional- which I still think we will probably- I'm fine with that from this team.Quote:

Their RPI is higher than ours so it shouldn't hurt us too much from that standpoint. It would be about like getting swept by Texas A&M last year.Quote:

This year is going to be very up and down. No way around it. We just have to keep battling and hope we work our way in as a 3 seed somewhere.Quote:

+1.Quote:

If they're tired- that's not going to affect their psyche and we basically get next week off with Valley coming in. Then we get past South Carolina and then hopefully finish the season strong. Even at the college level they aren't going to get too high or too low over a win or a loss.Quote:

As you said, as much as Price threw Wednesday it was asking a lot of him to come back in again last night.Quote:

Just seems if Pilk could have finished off that inning and at least started the next we wouldn't have had to use so many pitchers last night. Now we've already pitched Self, Barlow and Price again. Self and Price were both ineffective and you wonder how fresh either of them actually were last night.Quote:
