You are correct in that we cannot keep issuing free passes. We are 13th in the country in hits allowed per 9 innings. We are 137th in walks allowed. By the way, we’ve played 10 games versus teams in top 8 in the country in drawing walks. They aren’t that highly ranked off our backs alone. Morehouse already has a diminished role. Sthele is likely headed that way too. We have no closer. We only have 1 starter. LBJ will be the 2nd. If Hurley is the 3rd guy, believe in it and stick with it. Same with LBJ for that matter. And it is ok to have your 3rd starter only go 1, 2, 3 innings. If you want Burke to do that, fine. But get to it and quit screwing around. We’re more than halfway into the season. Get shit figured out. Before the last two weeks, our pitching stats were more impressive. Shaw getting hurt. Then moving Hurley out of the pen. All the way to Minchey starting, Hurley not playing and one of your top 2 pitchers when considering production/stuff not entering the series until you’re down 5-1 in the last game. These moves thus far are a net negative. Offensively we are 156 in the country for OBP. 90th in slugging percentage. Tied for 146th in runs scored. The offense is below average. The pitching and defense are not. That’s relative to the nation and relative to the conference. You can certainly make the argument that each conference opponent we’ve played brings a better offense than pitching. We have lost 3 conference games when giving up 4 or fewer. The number #20 team in the country gives up more earned runs than that per game. In todays game, you can’t lose 20% of your conference games with that little run production. Don’t forget the key point. All goals are in play and achievable.
