Anyone know what the program record is for a season?

Schloss has built a team that is tailor-made for playing at Blue Bell in April, May, and June

i.e. the heat and south wind

How many times have Jace and Braden gone back to back?

Not enough.

Yeah, 128 is the number I saw on baseball cube (obviouslynot an official source). But everyone seems to be going with 125 on here.

We probably need to shoot for 129 then and adjust our countdown.

We are currently averaging 2.08 HRs per game. At that pace, we get to 129 in 25 more games. We have 18 games left in the regular season. Then post-season.

Hoe far behind uga are we?

Georgia has 94.

However, in conference only we have 33 to their 31.

I know. I had also forgotten about Porter being on that team. Further, we have gone from Ty Garner to Kaeden Kent. Now I'm thinking we need to find a kid of a former Astro player every couple of years to keep upping our season HR record.

It's almost like he planned that or something

This is a good article that shows how changes in bats have effected college baseball over the years. It was written by one of the guys who developed the BBCoR standard.

What's impressive is that our team is chasing a record that was set at nearly the peak of Gorilla Ball. The label of the x-axis is misleading because it showed that the Ball Exit Speed Ratio (BESR) standard was implemented in 1999 just after the peak occurred but it was after the season. Also, I believe the home runs per game shown is really home runs per team per game although that's not stated. The chart is also dated since it ends in 2017 and the trend at that time was upward.

Can you imagine LaViolette batting with an aluminum bat?

What is the actual ideal target, though? Is it a certain number of home runs per game, runs per game, or a certain batting average? Or is it just a few high profile games that people find distasteful due to too-low or too-high scoring, that causes the governing bodies to (over-)react?

I don't know. I thought that the move away from aluminum bats was due to player safety concerns. But for myself, I don't care for a steady diet of 10-8 type scores.

My understanding is that BBCOR was about player safety, as a solution to increasing offensive power in D1 teams.

My personal taste is that I would like to see fewer homeruns, but higher batting averages. Having more men on base makes the game more fun to watch. So, bring back the raised-seam balls, and maybe relax the bat weight limits a little.

Great chart. 1989 is interesting.

I prefer homers and so do chicks.
