Man what a weird game. I'm sure Alabama is happy they won but both sides have to be a little frustrated with how they played. Other than the pitching Friday and the offense in the second half of the game yesterday, we haven't really played super well this weekend. A little disappointing considering what we're capable of I think.
Early on yesterday the offense was trying to be aggressive with Alabama's SP throwing a lot of strikes... But it resulted in a lot of bad swings on hitter's counts like 1-0/2-0. Really picked up in the later innings though and a tremendous job getting us back in the game. Rock & Moss have been ultra consistent and Thompson has really provided a huge lift this weekend. Claunch has started to swing it also, some big hits yesterday, I know he had the chance late as well but awesome to see him heat up.
It's definitely an important game today from a win/loss standpoint, overall record, conference record & just the difference in how you feel leaving town... But it's also important from a bigger picture perspective in terms of gaining more consistency as the season goes on. Need to come out today and play better baseball especially in terms of defense, doing the little things & just a clean and sharp game... Really nice to having Dallas going today and hoping for a solid all around W.
