So he was Jay Johnson and Deggs was Hud?

LOL

All this is is a testament as to how bad SB pitching is. Certainly nothing to be proud of.

You are correct. Sun Belt avg. team ERA is above each conference above us in RPI, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and PAC 12.

Warren Nolan predicts us to finish 36-20, going 4-2 the rest of regular season, with a 49 RPI, non-conference RPI of 37. I don't know if a 49 RPI has any chance for at large with 5-12 record against Quad 1 and 2 teams.

Didn’t Warren Nolan predict us to go 47-9 at one point in the season? He must not know our issues. I’d be happier than a pig in schitt if we win the next two series but that is very very unlikely.

The committee assured that we have all hands on deck this upcoming weekend of conference play.

Everybody's pitching is worse than ours, though. If pitching shows up we have a puncher's chance, imo.

If we pitch like we did at JMU, probably not.

That's the issue. We are either lights out or downright terrible. Average ERA across the season tells us nothing.

IMO we are really bad when it really matters.

Our offense runs along these lines too. I won't say really bad, but we beat up on bad pitching and often get handled by above average to elite pitching.

A 49 RPI has zero shot for an at large and may not even get you in. Our SOS is horrific.

That is the issue. I don’t think team era means a lick when it’s getting thrown in our faces every time we complain about hit batters and walks. I can handle getting the ball smacked around but I cannot stand to see all the free bases. Playing state Marshall and Monroe prop up those era numbers. Just tired of hearing about it. Can someone who had looked at the stats tell me where we sit in the league standings as far as giving up free bases?

6th on walks
9th on HBP

We still have not won a weekend series against a team with a winning record, with just six games left. Our record is a little deceiving. We have won a lot of games against bad teams. Our strength of schedule is 84, per Warren Nolan
