Through the first 6 SEC games, our batting average is

[rugbdawg]

very slightly up from our average over the SEC slate last year and our slugging percentage is down. OBP is slightly up and walks are up.

The obvious difference is starting pitching and hitting in 2 out situations.

Our opponents are hitting the ball better than we are.

Sec weekends...

Friday and Saturday era = 1.35
Sunday era = 10.06

 

[57stratdawg]

Haha ouch. Yeah, we really need someone to step up on the backend. It's the biggest hole IMO.

Not much mystery why we're 4-2 when you put that stat up there. Got to find a 3rd starter and some middle relief depth.

Or we'll start finding ourselves going 1-2 on the weekends... We can't count on Hudson and sexton to win every game

If I were Bianco, I'd throw the Sunday starter Friday night this week, drop Friday's starter to face sexton, and Saturday starter to face us on Sunday.

 

[Ace-Leroy]

yep...

I would not be stunned if he did just that. I believe he has made that call more then once. I would not fault him if he did.

Damn. Bulldog 31 was spot on with "Spahn, Sain, & pray for rain." I didn't know it was that bad though.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Yep, it's bad. We have nothing close to a Sunday starter right now.

Good news, neither does anyone else except maybe SoCar and we don't play them this year.
