    Considering we had the fewest k's in the league your gripe is a tad ridiculous. At least in this case

    It would be highly unlikely that we would be at or near the top on backwards K's when being one of the conference's toughest teams to K. Common sense is your friend.

    Our biggest problem at the plate was leading the SEC in grounding into double plays to kill innings. We were top half and even top 1/3 in extra base hit categories- we hit for power. But DP's really hurt offensively

    In our 12 of our 21 SEC losses, the Dawgs struck out double digit times with the average being 12 plus times.

    In 2 other losses the Dogs struck out 9 times. 2/3?s of our losses were with between 9 and 13 Ks , 13 Ks happening in 8 of those 14. As you say, short of getting the actual scorebooks, no way to no how many were backward Ks. But make no mistake, thr inability to put the ball in play with RISP played a factor in at least 12 of those losses. Situational hitting is still a necessary factor in success.

    2nd in DPs to Arkansas, conference leader in ground outs

    However, in general, middle of the pack in nearly all other numbers even 2-out hitting (272 Vs 269 average), 2 out RBI (132 Vs 140 average) and with RISP (298 Vs 297 average)

    In conference only games we struck out 253 times. That ranked 5th in the league. The top ranked team for least strikeouts had 230 K's. That was UM, Vandy was second with 247, LSU 3rd with 249, Kentucky 4th with 252 and us with 253. K's in conference only games was not our offensive issue. It was very poor avg with RISP and GDP.

    How about in close games? If you are being crushed in a run-rule route maybe folks just start hacking?

    Stats could be skewed to look better because how many games were run ruled and we didn?t get additional ABs

    K% should give you what you want. Maybe someone cares enough to figure that out; I don't

    SEC only Ks divided by SEC only AB numbers would do it, but I also don't care enough to figure it out.

    Why? Because Ks are a part of what actually matters- scoring runs. And we were #10 out of 14 the last 2 seasons. It's clear we don't have a good offense. Be it poor recruiting, Jake G being a mediocre hitting coach, Lemonis screwing them up, whatever- at the end of the day we aren't a good offense under Lemonis and we underperform our recruiting rankings. That's what matters, K alone is irrelevant in the face if that
