Why no interest in our baseball team?  Two posts on our series against Gumps.

I watched every game (although admittedly cut last night short to watch UFC)

LSU took the series on the road today with a 12-3 beatdown.  

Our starting pitching is, well, sub par.  Our pitching as a whole though is actually in the top 4 of the conference.  Saturday night was a debacle.  Honestly, Blake Money probably shouldn't start again until tourney time when we've used all our pitchers.  I'd start Fontenot over him and hope to get 4 innings from him. 

I guess inflation affects all kinds of Money.

Defense is still rough.  JT is a liability at SS.  Skip had a guy that committed more errors at SS than even Thompson, but that guy hit around .400 and went deep a LOT.  Thompson has like 16 errors (officially) through 46 games.  That's with the wizard at first base saving quite a few more.  

But.......the team can hit overall and really any spot in the lineup can go yard.  Having to face Crews, Berry, Doughty, Morgan, all in a row.....that's gotta be scary for an opposing staff.  Pearson and Little Stevenson can rake too, and JT seems to be coming around a bit at the plate.  TMac is on fire at the plate.  If he and Thompson weren't such liabilities on defense we'd be great even without a solid starting rotation.  We're pretty good as is.

There we go.  Great analysis.
