It was obviously deserved. They need to figure out their pitching situation and could use a bit more timely hitting. Stinks they are hitting a rut towards the end of the season, though.

They HAVE to get offense rolling. Being outscored 42-17 in the last 6 conference games is not good, no matter how you spin it. Not to mention 39 strikeouts against Florida.

Bats have to get hot. Max Belyeu will be a welcome addition for sure.

Good chance to get the momentum back rolling this weekend. Need to take the series, no other way to put it in my eyes.

The overall offense is really in a slump right now and has not been lighting it up since conference play started.  The team batting avg. in conf. is .245.  What has helped is timely hitting in a lot of games, even if the hitting overall was not stellar.  For example, in the game we won over Florida we only had 7 hits and fortunately 2 were homeruns.  Also we only had 8 Ks in that game, which is below average for us.  Pitching has also had a few issues lately (all the starters were lit up against Arkansas) and I heard that Riojas had the flu last week as well, but we have not been providing much run support either.

Offense is a "between the ears" issue.  Just need to see some success and get the confidence rolling again.  Max coming back may be just what the doctor ordered.
