Not sure if this is true, but possibly MacLeod and Bednar have been good when they're on, and really bad when they're not, and so those bad nights hurt their stats a lot while not costing many L's?
Similarly, Sims is probably worth a few wins without his pitching stats counting a lot towards our team aveages. The first time we have a lead late in an SEC weekend, we're going to get a win out of it. But that doesn't do a ton for team pitching stats because he's been used sparingly, so he moves the needle a lot with those limited innings.
Other than that, yes, it would appear to be some billy bean type stuff going on somewhere where we are maybe undervaluing some stats.
FIFY OLE MISS HAD a strong 1, 2 punch..... no more. Hate it for the kid though.
