Maybe I’m wrong and we have a bunch of below average to terrible hitters. I don’t think that’s the case though.
I don’t mind the Butch Sonny back and forth. In fact I quite enjoy it. I am just thankful these aren’t threads talking about women’s sports. Unless your daughter is on a team or your a coach for the sport. Interest in it just weird from my POV. nttawwt
The Golloway/Butch debates are some of my favorite banter on this board and are done 99% of the time tongue in cheek... not totally serious.
19-5 last night. @cookedw, are we back to being a great hitting team again? TIA
Now that we have another data point, last night, I feel, proves my position just a bit further. We absolutely murdered Alabama A&M. The mental thing never seems to bother them when we play trash teams. I guess it could be mental. But I'd only say it's a mental thing after our guys realize that they can't hit against decent/good pitching. Maybe we have good hitters (at least potential ability wise) but we just don't have the right hitting coach to teach them how to do it.
I dread this weekend series. Hope the guys fool me. Feeling like we are in a bit of trouble.
We've hit some good pitchers this year. 7 hits of Hjelle (reigning SEC Pitcher of the Year), 6 off Sikkema, 6 off Kentucky's closer (who had been good all year before that inning), 6 off Plassmeyer. And I don't think they have a mental issue against weaker teams because they play free and without pressure and with confidence. I think any pitcher that shakes their confidence is the biggest problem, and I consider that a mental issue, or not being mentally tough or resilient enough.
We finna go on a monster slide if we don’t win the series this weekend.
Gonna suck to get swept at home by a bad Miss St team and then swept at Bama if we lose this weekend series.
Perfect Game has Mize as their mid season Pitcher of the Year. Probably means he gives up 7 ERs in 3 IP Friday at Arkansas.
