SEC Batting Avg's FYI

[Bulldogg31]

Rooker .371
Vansau .342
Brown .337
MacNamee .321
Stovall .306
Bragg .300
Mangum .299
Gridley .290

Lovelady .231
Poole .222

Alexander .165

I hope Cann figures out a way to get Vansau and MacNamee in the lineup at the same time, and I could see Bragg pinch hitting for LA anytime after the 5th.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Ouch.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeesh.

 

[KurtRambis4]

And yet some think

hitting is our problem, over pitching...

Not that .299 is bad, especially being injured for a huge chunk of that, but does .299 make leaving early very unlikely for Mangum?

 

[Hoover Dawg]

With decent pitching, we probably beat Morehead, Marist, La Tech and one of Auburn. We'd be sitting at 37-13 (18-9) Instead, we have fans talking about how our hitting cost us a game at Georgia.

It sucks losing to Georgia, I get it, but this isn't the time to bad-mouth our hitters.

 

[msudawg12]

Mangum will be here next year

 

[Bulldogg31]

So we should have won both games 1-0?

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Our issue this weekend was about timely hitting

We got enough hits, but we left too many on base, had boneheaded baserunning, and UGA mad several outstanding defensive plays.

 

[ShrubDog]

Winner

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Point is that winning 4 more games due to pitching, instead of 1 more game due to hitting, means that pitching is the problem.

Kinda disappointing I had to explain that.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

In all fairness, Vansau hasn't had to face much LHP.

 

[mcdawg22]

I don't see how this is hard to comprehend, maybe a byproduct of the fake news era? We are third in hitting 13th in pitching. If you have to stand on one side vs the other let's just say walks are the problem. We do it less than anyone else at the plate and do it more than anyone else on the mound. Y'all do realize even Hall of Fame hitters disappoint you two out of three times at the plate right?

 

[Joe Mayo]

I'm not jumping into this past weekend pitching vs hitting argument but I saw this stat and laughed.

Alexander 15-91

Vansau 13-38

Vansau has 2 less hits than Alexander in 53 less at bats. That's just unreal to me.

 

[Shamoan]

One thing Alexander has that Vansau doesn't....pics of cann's wife and/or mother.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Alexander is to Cannizzaro as Holloway was to Mullen.

 

[Original48]

Unfortuantely baseball has two Holloways...Alexander and Poole.

Figure out a way? It's not that complicated. Start MacNamee in RF and DH Vansau. You can bring Poole in for Defense in the 9th if you like.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Looks like Cannizzaro agrees, along with moving Mangum out of the leadoff spot.
