over success on offense. This crap play was bound to happen, and especially with so many frosh and even veterans but with little experience. We all need to remember not much was expected by the "experts" pre-season as we were picked down in the order of the SEC east, much less overall. But we got Dolly and ended up with two stud freshman pitchers. And who could have predicted the season Trey is having?

Early on all the pieces were falling in place. we were getting most of the breaks. Those 3 starting pitchers were lights out in every respect. Look at our offensive numbers before wooden bat night. No realist could expect that kind of performance from a team level to last. There have been recent signs but too many got carried away with the hype. We went from home run records to warning track power in Lexington.

Maybe the team lost some focus amid all the hype. Who knows in baseball. Maybe the freshman pitchers who are not as developed as older guys are getting tired and now have shown some signs that they are not super human. Again, who knows. Odds are we will probably lose the game from last night. Odds are we will salvage game 3.

Way too early for the chicken littles. This is a talented team. They needed to be challenged and to bounce back. The regionals, supers, and Omaha will definitely challenge, so this series should be one to learn from..to grow. to know how to get smacked in the mouth and bounce back. Odds are we will. Now they have the opportunity. They did it against Bama and again against Aubie.







I expect us to win game two.






every respect.
