Ruh roh, Foxhall. But even still, while I don't love all the things he does - injuries and such, you know?

I've actually been OK with our pitching recently all things considered. We lost our elite front end guy with Sims but have still been getting decent starting pitching without him. Hunt has emerged as a quality bullpen arm, other guys have their issues but at times have gotten key outs for us.

The offensive consistencies are the bigger issue at the moment. In 8 of our 10 SEC losses we've scored 3 runs or fewer.

One other problem is we don’t have a legitimate lead off and second place hitter. Yeager is okay but would be much better in the 3 hole and maybe Hancock second, but even that’s a stretch. James down to 5th he’s not a your typical second batter in the lineup. We don’t have any singles hitters who hit a consistent .300. That and pitching is our Achilles heel this year.

Dude it's pretty obvious through these last couple of threads that the problem is pitching. The stats bear that out, and reality does as well (we'd have like 5 more direct wins had we had any semblance of a bullpen). That last part really can't be argued.

We can improve in on the mound and at the plate, but if I had to pick one for the most direct impact, I'm picking the mound.

Overall we are 2-12 when we score 3 runs or less. 3-14 when we score 5 or less. We've scored 3 runs or less FOURTEEN of our 39 games. That's essentially 1/3 of our games.
We've scored 4-9 runs in 11 games--of which we are 8-3.
We have Fourteen 10+ run games, of which we are 12-2.

Score less than 3= 2W vs 12L
Score 4 or More= 20W vs 5L

I said it a few weeks ago and I'll say it again..... a decent offense can overcome blunders like the 1st inning last night.

how do we lose 2 games scoring 10+ runs? Pitching maybe?
last year we were 10-0 in 10+ run games. So we’ve had 4 more 10+ run games this year.
we only had 13 regular season last year.

This.

We will win more games if . . . we get hits with runners on base.

Perfect example of what the pitching injuries have done to this team….

We are out here trying to develop 5 pitchers this season. I'm here for it

Pretty sure you already alluded to this, but the problem isn’t pitching….it’s pitching injuries. You can’t lose half your arms in the weekend rotation / bullpen (including the best pitcher in the country) and expect anything better than what we’ve gotten on the mound. Nobody is 15-deep with SEC caliber pitchers…which is what you’d have to be in order to absorb the monumental series of injuries that we’ve had this year.
