re: Thatcher Hurd will be a huge key for us in post season

A walk per inning doesn’t tell the whole story. He has been hit all over the yard, and he also hits batters. It’s not the later innings that batters are getting to him, it’s right off the bat. Always saw more hope for Little to turn it around because he was so good early and isn’t coming off an injury. At some point, you realize that it is very unlikely that Hurd becomes something completely different as SEC play moves toward completion. Would love to see it, but I’m more resigned to hoping he just needs another year of continued recovery and experience.
