They’ve lost their three best/most experienced pitchers. They’ve now lost their whole season’s RBI leader.
Moreover, as SEC stats go: they’re tied for 11th with UT in BA. They’re 11th in Slugging %; 12th in base hits and total bases. They’re only 5th in ERA; and they’re not #1 or 2 in any major stat category – except saves.
Yet they lead the SEC West and are playing for a sweep of an arch rival this afternoon.
It’s attitude and fight. They take advantage of the opponents mistakes most of the time. I hope the rabbits foot hangs around. The injuries have piled up pretty high. DVH has made the right moves and keep winning.
