Bottom Line. Reason we weren’t better was pitching!!

Data showed we were avg to above avg at the plate.Definitely good enough to get into tournament. Pitching from starters to relievers was abysmal.
Even with the lousy defense we played (except Monster/ Curiel ) you can’t walk as many as we did. Don’t care about Ks. Too many free passes

This has been discussed before. When you lose so many games scoring 8 runs or more…. not a good thing

Wait the pitching wasn’t good?!?

Aight, KC. You're bringing a bit too much Sunshine energy.

Thanks KC, I didn’t realize this.

There were a few games where that was not true, but for the most part, it was.

Offensively, tigers were fine. Defense and pitching was brutal

We actually scored more runs in SEC play this year than last year.
2026 - 195
2025 - 183
But we gave up 98 more runs this year
2026 - 231
2025 - 133

Well, yea… I think everyone knows that.

Pitching was bad.
Defense was sloppy as was the overall play on too many occasions.
Slightly above average hitting is not going to cut it.

Hmmm. Yep.

Losing all three top starters at some point with one all SEC had repercussions on the bull pen. Said it all season. You can’t have Schmidt, Evans and Moore out the last series as an example with Evans and Moore out for 2 weekends and moore out nearly every one.
THEN to top it off lose Brown. Just can’t absorb that with how thin from a depth standpoint. You have to remember the reduced roster AND losing 35 to the draft in 3 years with all those pitchers last season. It happens.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was wondering why other teams kept scoring a lot of runs but I couldn't quite pinpoint the issue.

Looks like Jay relied on "strikeout" pitchers too much to fill the roster. I remember him bragging about last year's pitchers having so many SO's, in pre-season and thought this team would kind of be the same type of pitchers.
However, we had too many "Cam Johnson" types that would strike out 2 an inning, but would walk 3, have 2 WP, and 1 HBP an inning. Not to mention the occassional HR and basehits per inning with a Passed Ball by a catcher mixed in.

Pitching was hurt by injuries more than they weren’t capable. Had to ask guys to fill roles they were never meant to be in. The ball doesn’t always bounce our way no matter how much you want it to.

You don't have to be a baseball fanatic or scholar to come up with this bottom line. Stevie Wonder could see from the first few weeks of play, especially when we played supposedly inferior state teams, that our pitching would cause bitching among our fans.
We sucked all year long with ineffective and inconsistent pitching.

The McNeese game was the first indicator.
