Homers

[litmachog]

How many homers was that for the weekend and have we ever hit that many homers in a weekend series before?

That was totally awesome to see.

13 in the three games

I love that Kentucky led the league in homers before the start of the series.  NOT NOW!!

Didn't every starter except McFarland hit a homer on Saturday?

Fletcher

And did Koch? I know he did Friday but don't think he did Saturday

[fishes2000]

That's right. 7 out of 9 homered on Saturday. There was so many over the two days hard to keep up with. Got to add Plunkett homer in first game of the day.

One of the greatest hitting series by a team I can remember seeing. Just hope we, as fans, realize that it won't be like this every weekend!  Great start for our SEC schedule though.

8 players hit homers this weekend.  5 hit 2 this weekend.  Add to that,  Martin who hit only 1, hit two in the Texas series so he hit 3 this weekend.

We are now #2 in the country at 39 home runs. Tennessee Tech is 1 ahead of us at 40.

as on opposing pitcher it has to be a bit unnerving to facing a line up this deep. that has to give our hitters a bit more of an advantage.

Hogs haven't hit enough triples. Somebody pencil in requests for MORE TRIPLES.   Especially when the bases are loaded.    I've been screaming for them but these young whippersnappers aren't listening

There was a point in game 2 of the DH where you could easily see that Kentucky's pitchers were doing everything they could to keep from having to throw over the plate. Any time one of them did - well, you know what happened. Every time a Hog got a hit, especially a homer, you could see the pitcher make a motion to the dugout with his shoulders and arms like "What can I do?". Lewis, in game 1 of the DH, was cussing into his glove a number of times after long hits or homers. That's when you know you're in their heads. They stopped pitching and began throwing to avoid being hit.

I hope we can do that same thing to Florida this weekend.

Well Kentucky took back the conference lead with 7 homers last night.

Maybe we need to play Kentucky again.
