Please allow me to bring up something encouraging..
There is no team in the SEC (WEST) with more loses than we have...
Yet there are only two teams with more wins than us...
That's some good news!!

I would go:
Lindgren + Holder on Fridays, Fitts + Mitchell on Saturdays and Bracewell + Cox + Gentry on Sundays.

I like this. A lot.

You know our offense isn't as bad as I thought it would be so far this season. We don't have anyone having an insane season like Renfroe last year, but we have a lot of people having pretty solid seasons so far. And this is with Detz struggling.
If the pitching can get it together, we may be able to go on a tear.

I really didn't think this would be an issue this year. Hopefully, Butch can figure out who, when, and how long soon.

Yeah, Will James just posted the BABIP(batting average on balls in play) against us this year currently being .345 -- vs SEC average being .273 right now. This shows hitters as a whole are getting extremely "lucky" against our pitchers with balls they put in play finding holes. In general, this number regresses toward .300 over the course of a full season -- or maybe lower in college baseball with the new bats.
You can bet -- if we get a .260 BABIP in SEC play -- to go along with all the K's we're going to get -- we are going to eventually be really good overall...

Sabermetrics are educational. Particularly that split...
Posted on 3/11/14 at 3:08 pm to engie
That's the same stat he used last year to try to prove that Ross Mitchell was not a good pitcher.
Posted on 3/11/14 at 3:10 pm to Requiem For A Dawg
It's a useful stat...I think Ross is just an anomaly.
Posted on 3/11/14 at 3:24 pm to Eric Nies Grind Time
You'll never get him to admit that. To him, sabermetrics are 100% right 100% of the time and there is no questioning them.

Ross Mitchell is the bumblebee of pitchers.
Posted on 3/11/14 at 4:48 pm to Requiem For A Dawg
Yeah -- I've done plenty of arguing with him in the past about Mitchell and his lineup arguments.
To me, it's just additional useful statistics that attempt to paint a picture of reality. To me, SABR is just an extension of common stats. I like BABIP because it attempts to account for "luck" or the lack thereof -- something that I always felt was prominent in my playing days, although not really quantified back then.
Even then, it's really only useful when dealing with extreme outliers. I'd be interested to know BABIP around the country -- because I'd imagine we're a pretty big outlier...
And I think tonight's lineup is my least liked this year thusfar...

Has Brown earned himself a look as a weekend starter?

Bonner tweeted that Cohen said that Fitts is likely the Saturday guy but there will be competition for the Friday and Sunday spots.
