Looking at it from a different angle concerning the baseball team's dilema

Its true enough our bullpen cost us big time in Hoover Friday. But, I blame our lack of being able to take advantage offensively did as much or more damage then the lack of arms. We are not built to try to stave off a close game. We don't have enough quality arms, especially in tournament play. Yesterday against Fla we mis-fired on chance after chance, either hitting into double plays or striking out. Really it was a combination of both. In 4 games in Hoover we scored over 5 runs, once. When you look at that our starters on Wednesday and Thursday were plenty good to win. We've got slots in our offensive game that needs improving as much as our arms,

We faced some

pretty good pitchers, too.

Walks.

We peaked too early, boys. Hopefully we get out of our regional and make the super (doubtful), but either way, the Cann is full time cruitin by June 12.

Yep, thanks Tanner Poole.

Think we ran out of bad SEC teams to play.

UT - 3 wins
Bama - 3 wins
OM - 3 wins
South Car - 2 wins

Ark - 4 losses
LSU - 3 losses

If we would have lost the series to Kentucky, I would openly be speculating if Mullen was coaching the team.

I don't think that's the

case at all. We just beat a talented A&M team, not to mention what we did in the tourney. To me it's clear, our young arms just ran out of gas.

50% Poole, 25% lovelady and Alexander (depending on the night), and 25% the pitching situation. Ok, maybe not that heavily weighted on hitting, but it's been bad.
