At some point all of the pitchers being injured are going to take a toll on State. The only team that has really tested State's pitching depth was Arkansas, and State didn't have the pitching to keep up in that series. Its not a knock on State, nothing can be done about injuries.

State couldn't score that weekend to help the pitchers out. Arkansas won 5-1, 5-4 and 6-1.

I agree that only having 6 serviceable pitchers is going to eventually get us. Pilk is a legit ace and we have a quality reliever and the nation's top closer. Game 2 and 3 starters are just prayers at this point. But they are 13-5 and lead the SEC, so they are doing alright I guess.

The interesting number to look at with LSU is they (along with Kentucky and State) lead the league and are third in the nation in Top 50 wins with 12.

Texas Tech and Oregon State are the only other teams with more than 12 Top 50 wins. Tech has 14 and OSU has 15. Oregon State is a ridiculous 15-1 against Top 50 teams.

Top 50 wins, nationally
1. Oregon State (15-1)
2. Texas Tech (14-8)
3. Mississippi State (12-8)
4. Kentucky (12-9)
5. LSU (12-11)

Early in season and Andy shook things up afterwards. He didn't come to Msu with a lot to work with from injuries and all those lost from last years team.

Our bottom order which was non existent has come a long way slowly but surely. Remember when our batting avg was just terrible?
