I'd be curious as to what our hitting stats would look like if you compared the first and second half of last year to the first and second half of this year. I feel like we were better than last year at the start of this season and worse than last year at the end of the season. But not sure how reliable that impression is as we aren't nearly as bad statistically as I would have thought this year.
This is from memory - but I'm pretty sure we started SEC play last season very slowly. I remember we were hitting in the .230s around the mid point and there being several posts about "timely hitting has bailed us out, we aren't going to make any noise post season playing like this." This season we seem to have been more consistent between first half and second half - but the pitching has gotten worse not better. But, yes, we were on fire the second half of SEC play last year.
