Ole Miss is a tough hitting team.
And their pitching has been much better than ours, so it was going to be a low scoring game w/ Nikhazy and Broadway pitching. We don't have guys like that.
This game is a microcosm of the season. Good pitching until they have to face the top of the lineup a 2nd time. Skipper was great, they just let him pitch a little too long. over 3 innings for him seemed a bit to much for a reliever.
But he has been our most consistent, and Butch went with him.

Bullpen depth was going to limit our success from day 1, but this is the result when Owen, Fitts, and Greenhill get sidelined on and off for the entire year.
I don’t see things getting better next year either. We’re going to lose a lot of production.

We have recruited heavily on the pitching side. These guys will need to produce. We can't have starting pitchers lobbing 87 mph fastballs. The hitters in this league are too good. I am looking at coaching to get guys in who can compete.

If all remain committed we have a decent hitting group coming in the next signing class.
As good as Butch has been with arm care the past couple of seasons have been weird. And yes we have signed a lot of pitchers that need to develop and be weekend contributors.
You expect a kid coming in that throws 88-90 to increase 1 mph velocity each year and with college level instruction to increase spin rate as well.
