We have got to eliminate the free bases. I don’t care if Handi is having to come in and pitch. I’d rather see pine tree solos than any more walks.

This.

Last night up 16-1 I would’ve had to tell my pitcher, “if the next 10 guys hit bombs off you, this game still isn’t tied. Throw a strike.”

We were so bad offensively the last two years, bottom 50% nationally 2017 and bottom 10% 2018, it just feels like we are back.

This season we are 135th on base % and 99th slugging nationally.

What a load of nonsense.

We’ve been losing games all year long putting up 5+ runs. Did the teams from the last 3 years not hit against worn out pitchers down the stretch? Discrediting a team’s offensive stats because they are facing tired arms like EVERY TEAM IN THE NATION EVERY SINGLE YEAR is “we need more practices” level silliness.

This offense in 2017 and we are a top 10 team, hosting a Super.

I dunno bout dat. This is a 100th ranked offense. I do think if the offense we have in May played like this since Feb. you win that bet. Probably top 20 team.

Somebody shudda got fired right there.

LMAO. I’ll take the 2017 offense and that pitching against this weak azzz conference of 2019 and we win the Sunbelt Tournament. That’s for sure. Keep dreamin little man.

2017 pitching stats were top 10 in everything. Hitting coach should have been fired June 1.

He did it "inside" of his first season.

I don't think Deggs' was called on to do that.

Wells has done an amazing job.

What you said is key.

Historically this team will be judged by the average stats of the whole season. The truth is there is little batting resemblance to the attitude and production of TeamFeb and TeamMay.

The offense was in free fall for literally years. That turnaround is significant. The offense of the last month is a potent weapon.

We likely lose 6 or 7 at the end, but the system remains....I hope.

My only real hope is that Wells stays. What we have seen this year with the bats if freaking phenomenal.
