The hitting is better and will get better as the season goes.
The errors will correct themselves.
Like I've said before, the dumpster fire is the bullpen. If we can't find a reliable arm to close, we will have a losing season. If we find a couple of reliable bullpen arms, we might make a regional.
We'll know one way or the other in the next 3 weeks.
The beauty of this win streak is that even with some woes, we are finding ways to win, especially late in the game. For both games that we won against Maryland, we trailed going to the bottom of the 9th inning. Against Nicholls, we got a two out hit that broke a tie in the 8th inning. Last night against McNeese, even though we almost blew a huge lead, we responded with 4 runs at the top of the ninth to clinch the win.
So even with the issues we currently face, these guys still have fight in them. I’m not sure if I could’ve said the same for this team last year. Just imagine what we can do once we start clicking on all three ends.
I think if before the season we were told that the hitting would be better but the pitching would be a work in progress... we would take it. Knowing Robe's track record for pitchers, it would seem that the pitching will get better.. unless we simply don't have the players.
I'm just looking at some regional programs that are usually pretty darn good and they are off to slow starts as well. Coastal Carolina is 12-2 and clearly the class of the SBC and that is where we should be as well. But here's a look at a few other programs fighting through early season struggles.
Southern Miss 5-5
Houston 4-7
Rice 6-8
SELU 5-8
Troy 6-6
South AL 5-5
Wow other regional programs, Tulane is 10-3 & LA Tech is 9-3. These are programs that usually start off good and did. We need to fix our problems soon. I would have expected better with a new stadium and an additional coach.
This is the second class we recruited from the new stadium. Maybe 1.5 class because there’s probably some fall guys that signed on before we started playing in the spring.
We have been recruiting with the rendering and construction of the stadium for years and it’s been complete for 2 years now.
