Are the bats off to a slow start or are we a weak hitting team?

Team average .231

Team OPS .689

Sluggish start or close to the norm?

It's both

A poor hitting team that, even for itself, isn't hitting well looks real bad. That's what we saw over the past week (minus Sunday)

Do you think guys like hughes, travinski, bianco, and dugas will keep getting at bats if they dont hit? If no, then obviously itll get better

Off to a slow start because they are a week hitting team.

There have been 8 different lineups in 8 games. There is no consistency both by players or by design.

If I heard correctly that Florida team that won the CWS in 2017 (who we lost to in the Finals) didn't have a single hitter that hit over .300. Our strength will be our pitching if they can all stay healthy. That said, I think there are at least 4 guys in this lineup that can/will hit over .300 (Cabrera, Garza, Mathis, Beloso). I think the bats will come around especially when it warms up.

I'm skeptical on the bats this year. But let's give it some more time and re-evaluate. Still far too early to tell.

8 games is not enough games to know what type of team they will be. It could be a sluggish start or this could be a team that just isn’t a very good hitting team. The talent is there to be a good hitting team but they just don’t have a lot of at bats.

2019
Avg. .273
OPS .768

ERA 4.64

2020 ERA 2.54 (obviously haven't faced strong competition yet)

So yeah there is work to do but plenty time to get it done.

LSU has been a weak hitting team crossing over multiple seasons. This isn’t new. Mainieri makes his Mainieri rally during the SEC tourney to either fall flat on their faces or have a good tight knit squad to make a run like they did in 2017.. they haven’t had a Purely dominant team in all phases since 2015.
