HE pitched out of his mind in Omaha, the rest of the season he was who he was. Not good, when he lost confidence he unraveled fast. This season, nothing has changed.

quote:
There were reports saying Bingham could be an All-SEC caliber player. He hasn't been in the starting lineup the last few weekends. Currently hitting in the .270s

This was just a misevaluation of talent. He is not an SEC caliber player, He was and is not Berry.

quote:
Kling was suppose to be a guy that was going to make the biggest leap from the 23' roster. Sitting in the .220s

Just is not a good hitter

quote:
We assumed we would get the Neal that started in the opening day lineup in 23'. His approach at the plate is terrible.
Travinski was the senior leader, he disappeared in the second half of SEC play

The catcher was supposed to be our deepest position. That has proven to be untrue. Neal is a liability behind the plats, Milazzo has cost us games as well and Trav, as you said has been downright bad the second half of SEC play

quote:
Pearson was going to turn into a seasoned leader, he's still batting in the .230s

This one is a head-scratcher because it seemed like he was coming on at the end of last season. He still has had a few big hits this year, but to bat in the .230s does not cut it in this conference

Overall, this season was going to be a huge step back. None of us expected it to be this drastic. We are horrible in the field, cant hit the ball and our pitching outside of Jump and Holeman for the most part is absolutely atrocious. The misevaluation of talent is mind-boggling. Jay hit the jackpot last year with White and Skeens, he needs to do the same after this year. We need to get good pitching, more than one or two guys, and we need SEC-caliber hitting. Either that will come from the freshman or the portal. We need to pretty much clean house, the talent is just not there.
