Our middle relief is very bad. This is very noticeable compared to last year because of the next fact I've noticed, a far more concerning one
We cannot hit the ball with runners in scoring position. We just can't. Our hitting in general just seems incredibly sporadic.
Another observation, other than Varnadore, there isn't anyone on this team that can get the job done consistently when ahead in the count 0-2. I cannot comprehend the sheer amount of times I see basehits out of 0-2 counts. Just disgusting.
We are very inconsistent in all areas of the game right now. Our impressive wins just don't seem that impressive anymore, and we are reeling.

I think Coach "Pawl" is a dieing breed.
He's a great hitting coach, but the days of gorilla ball are over. They were 10 and 6 years ago when they first reduced the bats, and they are even more now after the last change.
They are basically swining wood bats now that have a smaller sweet spot than the much debated hickory bats.
IMHO, it'll ruin one of the few things college baseball had going for it, but arms are in high demand.
And just for the record, the arms in the state of Alabama either go pro or go somewhere else. The best two arms I have seen are at Pelham and Bibb, and one is going to MSU and the other is going JuCo in hopes of getting drafted after his first year.
