Mikey 16,614 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Last season started off about the same as this year. Then mid-season the pitching came around. Lets hope for the same, plus this year's team is a stronger hitting bunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,406 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I commented that we’d be a full lineup hitting in the 300’s and we’ve had a few guys fall off. I think we have that capability- just wish they’d come on. our pitching is exhausting. The number of 2 strike hits we’ve given up is frustrating. also, how many times have we let the lead off batter on and a second batter home run? the sec is brutal Edited March 30 by mustache eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) Hard to judge how good the team is, after playing at #8, #1 at home, and at #4. Just get back to .500 in the SEC. Edited March 31 by SumterAubie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_M4_AU 7,853 Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 The game is on SEC Network. 4-3 A&M bottom of the 3rd, one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,328 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 This is a disheartening season so far. Pitchers are afraid to throw strikes. More frustrating is that some of our most effective pitchers are first year JUCO guys. Our upperclassmen program guys are hurting us. I like Butch a lot but at some point he’s going to have to show some fire from the dugout. Doesn’t seem like there’s any sense of urgency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,328 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Getting runners thrown out at home is becoming a recurring theme with this team. Another inning killer. Gabe needs to fix that. Edited March 31 by Gowebb11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPAC 967 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 That ball was smoked up the middle, Gabe should’ve held him @ 3rd. bases loaded and no outs….we only get 1 run. It’s gonna catch up mentally eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,328 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) I like that we’re still battling at the plate. This team is not terrible by any means but will have to earn every thing every inning. That said, TAMU is for real. Big strong and fast. Mashers at the plate and deep with pitching. Better than ARKY in my opinion.

It would simply come down to if Auburn could average over 7 runs scored. Unless we happen to score 7+, it's not likely we will win anything 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUB78 1,358 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 1 hour ago, Auburn761345163036 said: Auburn is tied for dead last in the SEC with Missouri-seems like a darn good reason to fire Thompson That is a fair statement at the present. If the team finishes 1-8 in the SEC after Sunday’s game, then is it time to push the panic button? Butch is well beloved by the Auburn fans and alumni, but his track record is not living up to the admiration. None of his Auburn teams have got close to an SEC regular season or tournament championship. Being in the CWS twice has been nice, but a 1-4 record isn’t something to brag about.

How in the world can this performance actually make these AU players increase confidence? If anything, after 3 in a row....it is likely to be the opposite effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Sunday game. We started Thursday evening and our SEC record is 1-8. No it is not “panic button” time. Us and other teams have had similar starts and turned things around. Rest assured our AD knows baseball. Take much more than close losses to 3 legit top ten teams for CBT to be on the “hot seat”. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
