re: Stats that show just how small the margin between 1st and 14th is in SEC baseball

I guess the way I'm looking at it as being a small margin is...
Allow 3 fewer baserunners per game by either not walking batters or not making errors. About 1 of those 3 will score on average so that would be 1 less run allowed.
Get 3 more baserunners on base per game and score some of them by hitting for a higher average and/or hitting for more power and/or with runners in scoring position. About 1 of those 3 will score on average so that would be 1 more run scored.
The difference is roughly 6 net baserunners per game to overcome a 2 run scoring margin. (There are dozens of variables to produce the outcome, but 6 baserunners (hitting and pitching/defense) in 9 innings is doable - hopefully next season).

I don’t consider a 2-run net scoring difference, per game, over the course of 26 games to be a small margin.
It’s a 25% difference!

Go look at your post history and tell me you dont bash everyone here.
I'm not the only one who sees that. Do better.

Those margins look huge to me and explains our record.

0-11 against sec teams with winning We are 0-11 against SEC teams with a winning conference record.
While all the other stats are revealing and great stuff--- this is a glaring stat that should cause a J to make some off season evals with significant changes-- I know that sounds general but He has a serious flaw in process- that has to be corrected
You have to plan for some injuries, your recruiting and portal transfers have to be bench building as well as starters and for Gods Sake please explain to the whole world why you brought YORK and a couple of others into this team-
We have I think the best NCAA baseball coach but he has a very serious blindspot that only he knows.
And to echo the above comment- you ABSOLUTLEY have to have the best closer on your team--how many games did we lose because we could close out?

I can't imagine why anyone would down vote this post. As for me, thank you for taking the time and effort to post this interesting info.

Probably not going to be a popular take but we were a few small pieces away from being a very solid team this year.
Absolutely, we were a lot closer than people think. What one really good closer would have done for this team would have put them in the post season. I can’t believe out of all those new arms, no one was able to step up and take over that role.

We lack quality starting pitchers
We lack middle relief
We lack closers,
We lack pitching.
Our hitting finally came around after the A&M series. Line up changed helped here.
Our baserunning doesn’t help much and we are poor on defense. We are error prone even with the best SS.
We are a long way from the playoffs.

Yea you're ignoring the simple shite like errors. There's a massive difference between the top and bottom of the conference right now

So are you going to say why you think the SEC wants LSU to be bad at baseball? Or are you just going to keep playing the victim?

Georgia's overall pitching is not much better than LSU's other than fewer walks and much fewer wild pitches.
Which is crazy because UGA's HC is a pitching guru.

There was a a pretty big numbers difference.

If you give us an extra run and delete a run from our SEC opponents we’d get four more wins and two ties.
I just made a quick review and I didn’t take into account where we played extra innings or whether or not we were the visiting team and our opponent didn’t bat the entire ninth inning.

While the numbers seem close, baseball is not like football. If these were football statistics, we could consider them close. In baseball, the statistics are much more apart. This is what happens when a sport has lower scores.

Going to agree with you on most of this except for the weekend starters before the injuries to Moore and Evans. They were good at times but some inconsistency from Evans and Schmidt. Those 3 held there own on the weekends and gave us a shot. Everything else you spot on.
Posted on 5/10/26 at 2:30 pm to Double Oh
Moore- did he make it to the SEC games? I don’t know.
Evans did and he wasn’t good.
Schmidt isn’t good.
I define good as above average.
Looking good in our pre conf games is fools gold when we play a weak schedule like we did.

The difference between hitting .300 and .250 is .05 do you think that’s a small margin? Because i think most people would view that as a significant difference. In 250 AB that’s the difference between 75 and 62.5 so say 63 hits, is 12-13 hits over the course of 60 or so games a lot? Doesn’t sound like it but a .300 BA vs .250 is a pretty big difference.

Now this is the stat thread I’ve been looking for, I’ve missed these threads since the non-conference stat threads disappeared
