12 starts 73 1/3 innings 50 hits 14 earned runs 16 bbs 106 k's 7-1 Record. If they continue anything close to this we will definitely be a #1 seed and hopefully a national seed.
This. It's one thing to be happy when the bats come alive against Pitt at home...but to extrapolate that out to our bats supporting our starting pitching when postseason play comes against tougher teams...ehhhhh...I mean...maybe that will happen, but we haven't seen much so far to support that it will.Our weekend starters are Omaha caliber. But even with those guys we got swept at home against an Omaha caliber team. It's not enough.

I can't emphasis enough how much you overrate the importance of one series.
People keep saying one series. It’s a multiple year trend.
It got us beat in Starkville last year and eliminated in 2015&2016.
How about making routine plays when outs are desperately needed? Or hitting a cut off man so a runner doesn't advance from 2nd to 3rd? Laying a bunt down to move a runner into scoring position? I have zero confidence in any of those details that win you games against good teams. Their is so much wrong with this team at the moment and all of it falls on Dimare's shouldersMost postseason teams we'll see have great starting pitching too. Maybe not as good as ours, but enough to keep them within hailing distance against our hitters. If great starting pitching was the ONLY thing it took, we'd be an Omaha lock right now...however, there's more to the game than that.
Let's just say it's Super Regionals, after 6-7 innings both teams pull starters (maybe 8 max). As of right now, does anyone have great confidence in our bullpen and hitting in late innings to pull off a win? If so, why?
I know, right? If only there had been a few series we could have won against teams like #4 Florida, #8 UNC, #5 NC St, or #8 Louisville during the season last year that would have allowed us to host that Regional. We would have won in Regionals for sure.No. Playing one of the best teams in the country at their place got us beat in Starkville last year.

Oh........there were series like that? And we went a combined 3-9 in those series?
