The sec tournament is a 5 day with no break tournament. It’s the longest stretch of no days off that players have dealt with all season. It’s going to put a strain on player and especially a pitching staff.
it’s not about the rest between the end of the tournament to next week. It’s about keep guys on track, keeping them in a routine and having them ready to go for that regional.
the top teams will be able to do this
Give us a travel ball and strength training lesson again old man. It’s clear real baseball discussion flys over your head once you leave the coach pitch level
SEC coaches just voted him 1st team All SEC, but I'm sure you're right.
They also voted Tommy white 2nd team.
when a guy that is hitting 341 with 23 homers and a 1100 ops while playing stellar defense can’t make the 1st team… kinda waters it down doesn’t it?
team performance is the trump card is all the awards given out by the sec in all sports
go look at lebanons numbers at alabama and compare to mershon… both inside and outside of conference. And you’ll see.
btw: USA Today put out there’s along with another publication. Neither had Mershon included on their lists
but congrats to him. We get screwed in other sports on awards. Glad it went our way this time

That's just sad & pathetic. Yet, I don't wholely (wholly?) blame them. Scouts, GMs, & the money ball saber metrics cult want this.
What can happen when the ball is put into play? The list is endless & it forces the defense to, ya know, defend.
What happens when you strike out, especially looking? Nothing. You're at bat contributed nothing towards the team goal of scoring more runs than the other.
If you strike out in situational hitting, as in trying too hard for a deep sac fly bc that's what your team needs, that's a bit more understandable.
But becoming an almost automatic out, how are you helping?
People keep worrying about our pitching. Our pitching has been pretty decent recently. It's our hitting that has not been consistent. We need to have some more consistency in our order. We don't necessarily need the long ball, but we usually play this park well because it does play well for teams who hit for balls in the gap, and we have a pretty good history of hitters who make a few hits in the gaps.
I think we have enough pitching to win this tournament or a regional. Our relief pitching. has been better. I just wonder if we have some clutch hitters.
Except too teams DO bring their top pitchers back on short rest Sunday.
5 games in a row with 4 days rest is nothing. Many of these players won’t get 4 days off in 2 months starting in July.
When your body has been trained to play 3 games, take 2 days off, etc for 16 straight weeks. Then your asked to play 5 games in 5 days with no days off… it’s different. We can agree to disagree
and top teams don’t bring back their top arms on dunday
last year vandy, a top team, threw a guy making his 3rd career start in the championship
year before that a 53 win Tennessee team threw a guy making his first career start for the championship
year before that #1 Arkansas started a true freshman in the championship
Top teams don’t bring top arms back on Sunday on short rest. They keep them on their normal routine to stay ready for regionals
Btw. Even in the cape. Teams get 1-2 off a week. It’s extremely rare they play more than 4 games in 4 days schedule wise.. And it’s rare for players to play every day as well.

I think we're about to find out just how many Hoover wins are going to be required to host.
We beat Ole Miss tonight, there's 1. We'll win either Khal's or Loo's start, that'll be 2. If the bats wake up maybe we can take both and that'll be 3.
I don't see us going W tonight, then L and L. We haven't lost a Friday and Saturday combined yet this year.
