This team is going to have issues hitting because of all of the freshmen- so I'm not going to sit here and say that offense isn't an issue. Because it is.

That said we do have some pitchers who have performed this year. We've got to throw those guys more and Leibelt and Neff a whole lot less. Especially with us lacking offense like we are. They've gotten their chances and they haven't performed and they need to sit until they figure it out. We need France to be in the rotation, Billingsley to go back into the bullpen, Keegan needs to be the midweek guy, Cole Gordon Blake Smith, Riley Self, and Denver McQuary need to be used the most. Pilkington and Small keep their spots in the rotation.
The reason this team is not going to hit is not the freshmen. It?s that the jr class is not good offensively. Mac, Vansau, LA, and to a lesser degree Stovall. Those guys have low ceilings.
