This team is better top to bottom than last years natty team

I certainly feel like our bullpen is stronger. We look awesome but saying this team is better top to bottom is a stretch at this point.

People think we had a shite bullpen last year but that’s not true. The SEC is just fricking tough. You’ll see it again this year. I love our staff but pump the brakes.

I can respect the sentiment, but I feel like it's a little too early in the season to be making proclamations like that.

It's better than the bottom of last year's team, not as good as the top.

But it's also been three weeks of baseball.

People were saying the same thing about LSU in 2010 after that team got off to a great start.

How stupid do you have to be to say fight me?

There is a good chance we drop three straight SEC series early on and that still may not necessarily give us an idea of how good or bad this team is.

The schedule really could frick us.

Man, I hope so! But, let’s wait until we get halfway through SEC play before we start saying things like this.

Pitching only

I think this team may be more balanced and less top heavy. But it far to early to think they are better overall.

What won us the Natty last year was timely hitting in the CWS, a bullpen that stepped up at the right times, a couple of hellacious defensive plays, and a never say die attitude in Omaha. You can take all the talent to Omaha you want, but unless things fall in place perfectly, you still won't win it. Time will tell if this team can do all that, but it will be fun to watch again.
