We have big problems keeping balls in front of us behind the dish. If the pitching can somewhat straighten out over a few weekends, not just one, the confidence of the team and fan base will rise.

It's concerning that Cohen said that "our players looked deep within themselves last night" after we lost 7-1. We get a gutsy as hell performance from Mitchell to force a rubber game. Britton is clutch and gives us a spark offensively and we pull him in the series deciding game for a guy that is hitting below .200. It just seriously boggles my mind on some of the moves that we make and when we make them. I know that Cohen does that, but this is an SEC series on the road, not Alcorn State.
To me Gavin Collins is a lot better than Ammirati and Slauter defensively.

Last year I think Kendall and Frazier were really good leaders. I think Cohen is trying to find and force some of the upper-classmen to lead.
