You don't think the pitching has been exposed this year?
Alabama - 16
Ole Miss - 14
Ole Miss - 13
Texas Tech - 9
Oklahoma - 8
La Tech - 7
Murray St - 6
Murray St - 6
SE Missouri - 5
Auburn - 5
Auburn - 5
Mississippi St - 5
1/3 of the time you're giving up 5 to 16 runs. How do you think that compares to Vandy?

We have the #3 SOS in the nation. Vandy's SOS is at #84.
How do you think Vandy's team ERA would look if their SOS is at #3 vs. #84? I'll answer that for you....it would look much different.
Unfortunately, we don't play Vandy this year in SEC play, so we won't get a head to head look at how each team compares.
We've played Texas Tech, Texas, TCU, La Tech, Miss State, and Ole Miss all away from home. We went 10-2 against those teams. The ERA will be more elevated when you play great competition, away from home.
As I said earlier....I like our chances against anybody.

Already asked you before but are you adjusting for competition?

You come across ridiculous when you compare us to Vandy statistically, but dismiss the fact the we have played a much tougher schedule.

None of those teams are close to being average. I think even solid pitching staffs would give up a decent amount of runs against them. We played some hot bats this year.
That maybe the case with our pitching but I don't think the schedule we played this year is an indicator that our pitching is bad.
Our pitching is good but when you play top 5-10 competition that can rain down base hits then it will look worse than it already is.

I like DVH. I think Arkansas has the best resume.
But yall do have a pretty big hole and I expect it to be exposed in the postseason and probably during the rest of conference play too.

Post that pic of your hot s/o again. Photoshop yourself out though.

I doubt it. Teams like Texas, Tech, TCU, Ole Miss and State are good enough to make the CWS. Lousiana Tech has a good chance to make a super.
This is a tough of a schedule that any team can play.

If exposed in conference play is a winning record of 75%, I'll just have to manage

Is this the twilight zone?
We fricking SWEPT the 3 best teams in Texas, SWEEP state on the road and take a series from Ole Miss semi comfortably, although ugly, on the road.
And we're here talking about the holes on our team and how we're going to get exposed.
Are we a lock to win the CWS? Absolutely not. Are we a lock to make the CWS, no, probably not as anything can happen.
But sitting here and saying the shoe is going to suddenly fall when we just beat Mississippi's arse on the road at the two vaunted trash pits is just blowing hot air.
Vandy gets beat at home to UGA but is "setup for 3 game series"?
Not even going to entertain all of this nonsense.

Well Vandy just lost a series at home to UGA so you can have a 1.0 ERA but if you don't score any runs it doesn't really matter does it?

No doubt that Arkansas has the best resume in the country. They've won a lot of different ways, which is the hallmark of a good team. Plus, they're never out of a game, save the opener to Bama. They just find ways to win.
I think the questions around the pitching are legitimate, only because DVH is still trying to figure things out. No shame in that, most teams have plenty of questions. Vandy certainly does. The one piece that DVH has figured out is Kopps. Dude is filthy.

Sure they are and 90% of Arkansas fans would admit that, but someone acting like its some "big hole" is silly at this point.
Also ignoring the level of competition makes it even more ridiculous.

Lord at this idiotic statement.
Let me guess...aTm is going to be the first one to “expose” Arkansas this weekend?
In league play Arkansas has faced 3 of the top 7 offensive teams in the SEC out of 4 series. The rest of the series on the schedule see Arkansas play 4 teams that rank in the lower half of the league and 3 of those are in the bottom 4.
Meanwhile, as everyone slobs on Vandy’s pitching knob, they’ve faced exactly one SEC team that ranks in the top half of the league offensively and lost two of those games by a combined score of 23-3. Their other league foes rank 14th, 13th, and 12th in SEC play batting average.
You do you though...

It's not out of the realm of possibilities, but, no, I don't think A&M will expose Arkansas's pitching. We couldn't take advantage vs Mizzou or Bama.
Let's just table this and revisit to see if the pitching improves with a softer schedule or Arkansas loses a couple more and drops in the rankings.
Yall see really offended that I think your team isn't perfect. Just wild.

It reminds me of the 2012 team. We had superior pitching but struggled with our bats when we needed them against South Carolina. It put a lot of pressure on our pitching and it lost us the game.
Then the next year, we started out the season ranked first but still struggled at the plate the whole season. Didn't win the West, didn't host a super or a regional and didn't even make it out of Manhattan.
Those were the dreaded 2-1 loses. Lead the whole game then lose the lead in the eigth. We would have a chance to win in the ninth only to strike out in the worst way possible.
I think DVH learned that you can't put all of your eggs in one basket and win just on pitching. You can't win if you can't score no matter how good a pitching staff really is.

It's wild you and others, specifically Ole Miss trash are saying our team has a big hole and is going to get exposed like its some sort of certainty. We've dropped everyone we've faced, which includes 5-6 top 10 teams.
No one is saying our team is perfect.
Ole Miss goes to 1 world series, 7 years ago, which was their first in like 50 years and they're suddenly in the elite of college baseball because they're ranked high every year and always have a bunch of arms. Oh yea, did you know they wear powder blues like the cardinals?!?!
They have a stadium that looks worse than Baum did 20 years ago and its suddenly the field of dreams because a bunch of idiots throw beers on themselves in right field.
It's no different than their football fans during the Freeze, fart in the wind "success" years.

Every team has weaknesses. But if Arkansas were to be exposed then it would have happened after playing more than 30 games in.
Our weakness could be our pitching but it isn't such a problem that it is losing games. We are at the top of the West with a so called bad pitching staff.
We don't have a true Friday, Saturday or Sunday staters but this staff is deep enough with upperclassmen that DVH can pull and plug them in depending on who we face.
