I figured his SEC average was a lil higher

If you had bet me that Nola's SEC average is lower than Jacoby's average I would have lost that bet.

Lsu finished the SEC season 3rd in fielding and team ERA as well as 4th in batting avg...Teetime eats a lil crow and glad Ty Moore given his shot at 1st and allowing Katz to go back to RF..Made a huge difference down the stretch....See you in Omaha....

Wow. That is an amazing statistic. I wonder if any SEC champion has ever had a run differential that was this low.

This stat has to say something about:
1) the job our coach did managing the games
2) how mentally tough our team is

Of course, it may say that we played really poorly in the SEC games that we lost.

Yes, you're correct. Katz looked like a liability at 1st in the last and most important series of the year

I'll get killed for this but we had to have a lot of luck to win the SEC this year. Last year we lost many close games but this year a bunch of breaks went our way. We are a good team but far from dominating like some of the teams we had in the past.

We're like 37-4 when scoring 4 runs. That's pretty fricking stout.

yep

I'd say it was more a matter of Florida & SCAR not being able to close on their games this year. Statistically speaking, they were better than their records this year--ESPECIALLY the Gators. The wheels came off for Kentucky too.

I really wouldn't call LSU's season lucky this year. A team that is 7th in the conference in run production, but that also backs it up with the type of pitching talent LSU has, is going to win exactly the kind of way that LSU often won.

Also, LSU's defense was probably better than statistically indicated, (A) because LSU didn't play Tennessee, and (B) because LSU had more of an ability to shut down the other team when it was necessary to do so--i.e., LSU had more closing power.
