We are way too passive at the plate.  I believe in being patient and working a count, but it has turned into passivity with our team.

Are any of these games on ESPN+, or just the SEC network?

[Matt from A700]

Inclement weather has forced our schedule, and for some reason, our opponents, to change. I think it changed for the better if you'd like to pick up an extra win or two.

I don't even think all of these games are on the SEC+ Network, I think just the games against Auburn.

Conference play should feature all games on ESPN+.

Unfortunately no game tonight, in what would have been one of our best chances for a win this weekend.

[Matt from A700]

We split today's games, a 7-0 victory over Northwestern and a 4-0 loss to SC Upstate. Maybe it was SC Upstate we should have been avoiding!

Northwestern and Auburn tomorrow. Auburn still has not played a game this weekend.

Got ripped twice today. This team is either really struggling or we aren’t as good as we thought. Savage and Childers were horrendous in the circle.

This team is senior heavy and should be much better. Pitching is not as good as it was just a few years ago. And, our bats are continuing to struggle. Overall, this team looks much like it did most of last season. That is not a complement. I'm beginning to wonder if De Long has taken this program as far as he can? Personally, I expected this program to be competing with Top 25 programs by now.

Have not heard much on the recruiting front. Next year will really tell the tale, a LOT of talent to replace!
