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.

I don't care what our batting average runs, how many runs did we score, that's the bottom line. As for the above quote, doesn't that count all of the midweek games? We scored a ton of runs against the Wake Forests, Jackson States, UNOs, etc. Did we rank 4th in the SEC in runs scored during SEC games only? If so, then I apologize for being misguided. But I thought we pitched pretty well last year but couldn't score runs at all when it mattered. I remember a few late inning losses, but I thought we lost a lot of low scoring games in SEC play.
