We are constantly told a couple things about Cohen's offense:

A) We won't ever hit for big power because we're built on speed
B) We are very talented

If "A" is true - how come the same three teams basically lead the SEC in slugging % and stolen bases?

Of course, LSU/Vandy/A&M.Florida are simply more talented than we are. That's kind of the point. Good teams have good slugging percentages. It's no coincidence the best 4 teams in the league are 1-2-3-4 in slugging percentage.

It's a huge stat for us. It's the reason why we leave runners on base. Speed and power are not mutually exclusince traits of a baseball roster.

Even though equipment is irrelevant, this is interesting to note:

TAMU & Florida : Easton
Vandy & LSU : DeMarini

Cohen's teams - at least the last two - can't put the ball in play when they need to. The teams are passive at the plate and they cannot throw the switch when they must. Why move a runner into scoring position when the next batter cannot make contact?

This team perpetually fails their assignment, so it is no surprise that they are at the bottom of the SEC. My knock on Rick Ray was that he said this is the style of basketball we want to play and then didn't play it. Same for Cohen. Part of the problem I must admit I is that they desire to play a close game and their defense fails them. So, we might say that they suck at every facet of the game.
