one note on the "young team" thing...

the pitching staff is not young.

Brigham, Larkins, Chafin, Sherrod, and Corbin are juniors.

Kolek and Kilkenny are sophomores.

only 2 freshmen...Dox and Miner...have pitched more than 10 innings

Strike One said:

For weeks we've seen that our batters with very few exceptions (Shew, Bedford, and occasionally one other) cannot hit any pitcher who is better than a regular number 5 pitcher of an SEC team. We're otherwise overwhelmed by fastballs thrown over 88 mph which are located anywhere except right down the middle, thigh high. Also, all except 2 or 3 guys always look amazingly surprised when the pitcher throws them a sharp breaking ball when they're down in a 2 strike hole in an a bat. What in the world are they looking for in that situation?!!

Last year we were so proud of the job Bolt did with our hitting lineup but this year's crew including Foster and others really need to stop over swinging and start hitting many more balls to the opposite field, especially breaking pitches moving away from them.
Exactly. If they hit for some power then you can excuse striking out but these guys are just overwhelmed. Most seem to hope for a walk. career backups is what they are for good teams. I think we will need an outstanding pitching performance to get a win this weekend.

Sophomores aren't young? Especially ones that didn't pitch too terribly much last year?

I wish Larkins were healthy and ready to go. And that Martin could've kept up his great pitching from Summer ball.
