We could not hit like that even against those Quad 3 and 4 teams early in the year with Lemonis screwing around with the best lineup.
I dont disagree with this. His attitude when dealing with the entire team now certainly has helped. I'm just saying no big changes were made. The guys are now playing the way they were expected to play. Beans has a 16 games hitting streak now. Before that he was batting about .200 in the SEC- that's been a huge lift to the offense the last 16 games. Frei playing everyday made us better. Pitchers coming in and pitching better has made us better. It's just a few guys here and there playing better ball has gotten this team over that hump it needed
