UL vs. USM Game Deux

[Dad04]

Team ERA is 2.52, which would be in the top 10 nationally at the end of the year. Pitching is just fine.

you sound like people a couple of years ago when people were saying, but our offense is top 7 in rushing, and we were still 6-6 in FB. is it to much to ask for a complete ball club, or do we have to settle for being good at one phase of the game?

I think they're simple saying our pitching staff is better than average up to this point, which i would agree. I would like to see us adjust better on the mound to batters crowding the plate.

Also, don't the batters have to make an effort to get out of the way of the pitch? USM seemed to just throw the elbow a few times.

I was waaaay off. Arizona State led the NCAA with a 2.9 team ERA last year. LSU was 4.01 winning the CWS.We led the Sunbelt in ERA last year with an ERA double what we have now. When we finish under 4.00 ERA we usually do well;

2005: 48 wins, 3.80 ERA; NCAA Regional
2006: 39 wins, 3.54 ERA;
2007: 45 wins, 3.78 ERA; NCAA Regional
2008: 30 Wins, 4.99 ERA
2009: 27 wins, 5.01 ERA 1st in SBC

UL has led the SBC in pitching all year, last year and most years.

Complete clubs win conferences, regionals and supers (see USM 2009). All I'm saying is that the pitching is fine. I don't know anything about rushing or not rushing.

Yeah, pitching definitely isn't our problem. Our problem is hitting and defense at 3rd base, Trask was solid at 3rd today. If he can hit the ball then our 3rd base problem is fixed, big if though. It seems like the only time we get on base is if Olasin bunts for a single.
