3 more errors this game (I think, announcers didn’t say which plays were errors tonight). In closer games this will be a big problem if they don’t fix it soon.

Couldn’t hit or pitch in games 1 & 2.

Win game 3 and moan about the defense.

Is anyone ever happy about anything?

To paraphrase Saban... if you think because you win a game you don't need to get better, you've got another thing coming. That other thing is losses

I just dont think we have good enough personnel to fix it, unless ruckert or clauss can find it with the bat

The best you can hope for is decent defense by the end of the year. I really don’t think you’re going to see any more than just decent if they can improve. Don’t have the personnel for it this year.

Man I think Ruckert has 3 errors already in limited playing time. We have the lowest fielding % in sec, most errors, fewest assist and most passed balls. Highest era and most wild pitches. We do lead the sec in strikeouts, so that’s positive.

I agree we couldn't pitch in game 1 or 2 and we struggled at the plate in game 2 but game 1 we were able to get 13 hits, 9 RBI, 4 XBH, and 12 runs is pretty productive night at the plate. Pitching was just rough outside of Cowan and Guidry's 8th inning.

Yea, because Ruckert error in yesterday's game that could be a double play but was probably just 1 out but got the lead runner, didn't lead to 3 runs scored off homerun.
