Added a few guys to your post, basically made it so that everybody with 30 or more at bats is listed.

White, Travinski, and Pearson have all dropped in performance from last year. Travinski has had double the ABs this year so far than he did last year and only has 2 more HR and RBI than he did last year. White actually has more HR already than last year in SEC play, but less than half the RBI because he doesn't have Crews on base dang near every time, and he hasn't been coming through when there are guys on.

Braswell has been a big upgrade over Thompson in average, but Thompson ended up with more run production at 7HR/26 RBI where Braswell has 0/7. Again, must not be people on base for him, hitting .350 should have more than 7 RBI in 21 games. Braswell also has a slightly better fielding percentage.

Jones this year and last year are very similar. He's on pace to have about the same average, BBs, Ks. Already has more homeruns, but again less RBI because of all the solo HR.

The big difference from this year to last year is the OBP. Last year, even your guys with lower averages were .400+ OBP. 8 guys over .400. This year, only 3. Last year, none of the top 11 hitters below .300 OBP. This year, 4 of the top 11 hitters below .300. So guys at the bottom aren't getting on base, Bingham and Kling who have led off most SEC games aren't getting on base much. Milam who has been 2 hole or at the bottom isn't getting on base. So when the hitters come up at 2/3/4/5, bases are empty nearly every time, hence the lack of HR other than solos and lack of runs scored.

Also, last year we averaged over 1 less strikeout per game, and we already have as many GIDP in 21 games as we did all last year in 29 games. 18 Sac fly/Sac bunts last year as opposed to 8 this year. Not moving guys around and producing runs. 236 BB and HBP last year (8.14 per game) to 103 this year (4.9 per game). All those little things add up over the course f games. If you go back to those games that we lost especially early in the year, give us 1 less strikeout, 3 more BB/HBP, a sac fly somewhere and not ground into a double play somewhere...chances are we have a few more wins.

Runners LOB? Last year, 271 LOB (9.34 per game). This year, 162 (7.71 per game). So we are leaving less guys on base this year...just getting less guys on base this year.
