One Example of Why Walker Is So Good On Sundays

Finally have a solid Sunday starter and our bats suck.

Was a great read...Walker misses the fat part of the bat pretty good...really like our freshmen pitchers plus the everyday guys...future looks good...present team is on the verge of something good...

Our batting average is exactly the same as it was at the end of last season, .295, our slugging percentage is better than it was last year, .433 vs. .422 last season and our on-base percentage is slightly better than we finished last year, .386 vs. .385 last year.

Where was it at this point last year? We still have several weekends left this year (and the SECT and Regionals) for our bats to shite the bed more times than not.

Sweet.

Our bats started hot this year and have rapidly cooled off since we entered the tougher part of our schedule.

Comparing the end of last season with now isn't a fair comparison since our bats go ice cold vs weekend pitching nearly every series.

We have excellent starting pitching and weak hitting this year, that's a fact.

Missing key stats. Hitting with runners in scoring position and productive at bats with less then 2 outs.

Once again he skews the facts:
In the SEC we are 4th in hitting at .267 and 8th in pitching with a 4+ era and 1 in fielding.

The biggest concern is the schedule gets more difficult. They haven't played Auburn, Kentucky, USCe, or Moo State yet. All of these teams are capable of winning 2/3 against us. These are toss up series at best. I would be elated with a split against these 4 and sweeping Bama. Going 9-6 in the second half would be a great for this team.
Realistically 8-7.
