re: Random statistics for LSU baseball to-date

other SEC teams have only hit into 6-10 fewer DPs but have struck out an additional 125+ times more than LSU.

Well if theres that big of a difference between LSU and the rest of the SEC in strikeouts then I stand corrected. But generally speaking double plays absolutely kill teams that can't hit for power. Look at the Bama game Friday night for example. We kept getting the lead off man on and kept hitting into DPs and couldn't get any runs across. Hell we somehow even hit into a 6-4-2 DP with Slaughter coming home if I remember right. If Bama doesn't implode later in that game and we lose that series our regional hopes are in desperation mode. Leading the league in double plays when you're also near the top in sacrifices does not look good and we don't have the power to make up for it. Not to mention 1 out > 2 outs.
