I think what you all do not realize is that the bats are killing us turning hits into runs. We are unable to manufacture runs the way we need to. We cannot bunt people in, we cannot sac fly, we cannot get a timely hit. It doesnt matter that you have the 3rd highest batting average in the SEC when you have one of the highest runner left on base average. Two hits and three strikeouts still equals 0 runs. You all refuse to accept this. The teams that are winning now are recruiting guys that can manufacture runs not knock the shite out of the ball. Case in point South Carolina and Florida. When they get on base they score regardless of the way they have to do it. To have a pitcher with a sub 2 ERA that has a losing record is plain pathetic. If you think that small ball would not have won twice as many games last year you are nuts. It is not small ball that failed it is our hitters that failed at bunting. College baseball players should know how to bunt.

We finished 4th in the SEC in runs scored, which is not awful. Pitching was the main problem IMO.
ETA: I am not defending Sanchez, just pointing out that the hitting/runs scored was not that bad.

Do you have a link for this, or are you just talking out of your arse like most people who try to act like they know everything? I'll stand corrected if you do have this stat, but I'd love to see it.
