We cannot judge the hitting from this weekend's game. We were hit by pitchers 10 times and also had a handful of walks. That is abnormal. Give the team a few weeks before deciding that the bats will struggle or not.

I don't think we did enough with the 'gifts' we were given (walks, hbp) I also thought there were definite oppurtunties to bunt but Manieri is so insecure about the bunt thing he refused to use it more. The days of the long ball are gone and the bunt is a tool college baseball teams will have to use....

Our starting pitching is awesome, but the bullpen is what will determine our season. The SEC will be tough and we'll be in everygame with our starting pitching but they can't go 9 everyday. I thought we looked balanced at the plate and like we were trying to drive linedrives through defense instead of over it, which is an improvement from last season.

We don't have a legit 1st baseman, Katz is avg at best with the glove.

It's still early, and the competition wasn't very good, the 'gifts' won't be as frequent once SEC play starts, but we have plenty time to get better!!
