Wait until we get past further into the season before panicking over next year.

We’re essentially .500 at the halfway mark.

It looks like the team is improving so, try to enjoy some baseball.

The shifts are about batter analytics. If the tendencies justify moving more players where he excessively hits the ball then that’s what we’ll do. The rules still allow it.

Does it always work? No.

This is absolutely true
I have plenty. I absolutely knew they would be hard to beat with mid week pitching. And their weekend pitching, which we didn’t see, is statistically on par with ours.

They can pitch it and hit it. We had a really bad inning and didn’t recover. It is what it is.

It’s all about controlling the strike zone for Benge. Walks and cookies galore….still. I wish it weren’t so.
Transfer portal and NIL money. Should be your headline.

And the teams you’re talking about are the haves. It’s the filling of rosters in multiple conferences and perennial mid level teams that is making every game competitive.

Personally, I believe more competition is a good thing. So many good games to watch raises all teams.
Well, I knew this complaint would be lodged.

Phelps had a good weekend as well, but the fact is no one had a better one than Cade. Good enough for me. Now let’s get a command performance this weekend at Ole Miss.

Yep. Too much of that so far this year. We had a similar problem in 24. JJ brought in Hernandez and that tightened up the defense.
I thought we were top 3 or certainly top 5 in transfers and NIL. I know we were top 5 in transfer talent.

But a valid point is it’s not all about the money. Player development is a priority for baseball. It’s a hard game to succeed all the way to professional. College teams are going to benefit from MLB cutting back on the minor league developmental farm system.
Inexperience. High school doesn’t require tight controls on location and pitch type. Patience for these kids is what is required while they develop next level skills.

You have swerved into a probable reason for why we are walking so many. The short answer is that it is execution.

It’s partly because pitchers have good and bad days. We have a fair amount of inexperience that adds to control issues. The pitching coach calls a pitch and location based on analytics from previous at bats by the hitter. When the pitch and location called are a small window, execution can be a problem. Loosen the window frame and it could give the hitter an advantage.

A proving ground that this is whats going on is when it is 3-0 and the pitcher puts one center cut, to me, means he can’t execute what’s called. If he misses or misses badly, to me, it means he is having trouble executing any pitch.
Take the bet. 50/50 is better than what Vegas gives you.

But it does matter how much money he wants to bet you. I’m good with 25 cents.
Oh. There is plenty to complain about. The whiners won’t miss an opportunity.
Josh Gordon is good with his 3rd base responsibilities but not always. You don’t have to be a baseball fanatic to see that. But to be fair, on two of the outs the base runner didn’t look to him.

Don’t know about the vibes but, Guidry is our best option to get 5 or six batters out without giving up anything. And like a lot of teams, KYs lineup is top heavy.

That could be what we need to get a lead. Because I think we will need to play with one today. Lots of inconsistency behind Guidry.

Every season is different especially now. Team consistency at the plate takes time. For the last 2-3 weeks we are seeing one good at bat and 2-3 bad ones. Most of the problem comes from timing the pitch up. The difference, off the bat, between a pop up, a weakish ground ball, and a line drive that finds grass is tiny. If we can improve to one good and one bad or even 3/3 we will win.

His at bats were just not effective. He could tighten up. But overall not much contact with the ball.
Wrong. He got the key 2 run base hit in the 7th to give us 7. He does need to do a better job handling the inside pitches.
