Baseball, It's not over yet

I know that we've had a tough time since SEC play started, but there are several positives and things always can, and generally do(for better or worse) change.

We've gotten swept twice, it sucks. But these sweeps were at a top 20 team and all were very close. It sucks to lose close, but it's better than being blown out. Florida is a great team and two of that series were very close as well. It sucked losing 2/3 to Georgia, but they're a top 30 team as well.

We're young, our leaders this year were our young players last year. The team is still meshing. They can either rally together as a team or they can fall apart. Let's hope for the former, it's happened plenty of times in the recent past.

Our relief has been hurting, but our starting has been solid. Let Eades and Jones get more comfortable, they can seriously contribute to this team down the stretch. Remember, two of our main contributors at relief last year went down with injury in the off season and another contributor left the team. We knew we were going to be down at relief(and probably pitching overall) coming into it. Luckily, we've also been surprised and impressed by the starters. Hopefully, Matty and, recently Berry, can get some kinks worked out and get us a few saves.

Luck, we haven't had it. Timely hitting requires experience and leadership, two areas that we are lacking in at the moment. It also falls under luck. Things change and our luck can't get a whole lot worse. If we can't have it the whole season, I'd rather have it late than early.

There's a lot of ball left to be played, and we will see what this team is made of in the next 2-3 weeks. Luckily, baseball season doesn't end in April. I'm still looking forward to the rest of the season.
