True enough.
BTW, who has the longest win streak in history in the SEC, and how many more does MSU need to tie?
LSU does with 23 won in 2008. UK almost tied it last season, but fell short after opening the season with 22 wins by losing to UT 4-1. After starting 22-0, they went 23-18 the rest of the way and failed to make it out of the Gary, Indiana Regional....
UK also started both '07 and '08 seasons with 19-0 surges...

I don't know about the best hitter in baseball, but AJ Reed is doing a hell of a job at the plate thus far this season.
Batting .426
47 at bats, 20 hits, 5 home runs, 23 RBI, 6 walks.

Roger that - I knew a Gamecock fan would know but doubted a MSU fan would know. Kentucky lost to Tennessee in Knoxville in the first game of their series that prevented them from tying the record.
Do you remember how many SC won, (consecutively) in a row, in 2000?

In order for MSU to get the record they would have to sweep LSU...yeah not happening! MSU baseball is reminding me of this past year's football team. Starting off undefeated playing crappy teams then when they get to the big boys they get exposed! Enjoy your run!

22 as well, right? I remember it was the longest streak until LSU passed it by one....

A lot of really good hitters in the SEC, but by years end, I fully expect Frazier to lead in average.
Posted on 3/8/13 at 10:41 am to CockHolliday
The most important offensive statistic and really the only one that matters is run production. Something about which team scores the most runs wins the game and all.

By the way, you've just gotta say Rhymes at this point based on his performance last year, where the gap between the #1 & #2 SEC hitters was over .100 points.
Raph Rhymes, LS, .458
Alex Yarbrough, UM, .357
I wouldn't at all be shocked if I found out that that's never happened before in the history of the SEC.

And finally, all you people citing statistics for the first 3 weeks of this year are fricking ridiculous.
Sorry, but I just had to get that off my chest.

The team with the highest BA doesn't win it's the team that scores more runs. Who is the leader in run production? That's what matters.

Yeah, as I was going through this thread, I went back and saw Rhymes' avg vs the #2 for the whole season, but this is even more impressive and regular season conference games may be even more legit.
More than .100 higher than the #2? That is crazy.
