If we can’t get better starting pitching than what we had this year, we won’t be good.

For SEC pitchers, Schmidt was 29th in IP this year and 15th in ERA out of this group. Of these 15, 9 were juniors/seniors and only 6 were sophomores (no freshman) including Schmidt. If his progression continues he will be a top level upperclassman next year.

Evans had much better statistics across the board than his ERA indicates. This anomaly will likely not happen two years in a row. He also will be an upperclassman.

Moore was hurt before much SEC play but throws strikes and should be a reliable upperclassman next year.

Schmidt has to give you more than 4 innings/2 ER. With the bullpen being a disaster, you need 6 from him.

Concur with this statement. However, he was still the most effective pitcher over the weekend. If the others had come even close to this we would have won two or three games.

They have a stat for when it’s the catchers fault.

You seem fairly knowledgeable about baseball, but maybe I have been wrong. If you can’t acknowledge that average or good catching will prevent a significant number of wild pitches, when compared to poor catching, I don’t know what to tell you.

Same w defense in the field. If you can’t acknowledge that average or good defense will lead to fewer balls being scored as hits, when compared to poor defense, I don’t know what to say.

The improvement at catcher will naturally come from the pitchers improving. We're setting wild pitch records right now. Those the are pitches too bad for the catchers to even get to.

The reason we have such a high number of wild pitches is because the catchers cannot execute a basic chest block of balls in the dirt. The ball gets by and the pitcher is charged w wild pitch. An average catcher would have made the block. This is equivalent to an infielder who is too slow to reach a ground ball. There is no error on the play and the pitcher is charged with a hit, whereas as an average infielder with mobility would field the ball for an out.

Good catchers and good defense are what provides a chance to have excellent pitchers. Look at the support Andersen and Evanston had in both areas last year.

Yeah, we had runner in first w no outs and batter gets a scorching hit to the RF corner. Our runner on first got all the way to second base. Unbelievable. The runner ended up scoring so coach was bailed out.

I believe the coach was running scared based on JJ quote from the previous night about making first or third out at 3b. Even the coaches are stressed out and it’s affecting their play.

I guess you forgot about Yorke’s error in the first inning Saturday that put LSU in a 2-0 hole??? And we lost the game.

He is not nimble enough to play good defense. I won’t even mention offense. Everyone else on the team that is underperforming has to sit for a while to regroup. Why does Yorke have different standards applied for him.

how those outs are made is not particularly relevant.

False. A ball in play even if not a hit can advance runners, produce RBIs, creates the potential for errors, etc. A ball in play is almost always better than a strikeout.
