AU64 10,122 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just need better hitting overall. Most of the starters are under .300 and team is about .271 starting the game tonight. Odds are less than 1 in 3 that any given AU batter will get a hit when we need it. ...in fact, I expect when the opposing pitcher is "bearing down" the odds get even worse.

TigerPaw1 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Lack of clutch hitting, poor defense, and inconsistent pitching have plagued Auburn under Coach P. It is so frustrating because you can see talent, just no production. It seems whenever guys come back for their senior years they struggle. Other teams are getting 3-4 years of solid production out of their guys and we seem to only get one. It is a long season for sure but things don't get easier from here. Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Miss St are all top 15 teams. Unless our bats heat up and our pitching settles in, it is going to be another long year for the Tigers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anywhere list our RISP stat? Be willing to bet it's at/below the Mendoza line I'm sure the coaches know but mercifully, they don't have that in the team stats. Another disturbing number is the slugging percentage which is just barely higher than the BA for most of the kids....which of course means that we get a lot of singles and not much beyond that. I was hoping Gabe would help build up the power numbers but not much yet....do our guys do an serious weight training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,603 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Again, the inability to execute basic baseball fundamentals costs us. It seems to be a trend under Coach Pawlowski. Not a trend.

autigeremt 6,629 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Game 5 of 30 against two of the top three teams in the nation. A bit early to be waving the white flag folks though I would like to see a bit more intensity...and maybe JP pulling some guys or chewing a little butt when they make these kinds mistakes. I've seen four of the last five years....and they look very much alike. If we can't win 1 game by now against the better teams in the league what makes you think we can overcome a 0-5 or 0-6 start to SEC play? No improvement.

So when LSU leaves a bunch of guys on base it's because of our pitching but when AU does the same they are "gutless" That's a BS comment and not worthy of anyone claiming to be an AU fan.

Mikey 16,603 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Two sets of stats. They prove that we're better than the likes of Alabama State and worse than the SEC teams, which are the ones we have to compete with. Since our manager can't get the Auburn team on a level with our SEC competition, it's time for a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's fair; we've had the tying run at the plate in every game that we have played so far in at least the seventh inning and have jsut failed to get a big hit. We're one swing away a lot; Hunter Kelley just doubled by the way guys; I think that might be 2 hits for him tonight; like the looks of this kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
