Texas AM and Kentucky....

[baileydog]

Of course the year we are firing on all cylinders....Kentucky and Texas AM are, too.

These 2 teams are the real deal. I have no idea how our series is going to go with either one. We will see what our pitching is really made of with those 2 series.

Both are road trips. Going to be tough.

I'd give the nod to the teams at home. If the series was In Fayetteville, I'd think we win.

I agree.

Dang, I thought A&M was in Fayetteville.

Hagen probably won't go undefeated this year with our bats, but Hagen + Mac/Gaeckle are going to give us as good a chance as anyone every Friday night. Then we just gotta win 1 of 2 Sat or Sun to take the series. We can definitely do it against both of them but we're going to need our bats to show up and need one more closer we can trust to develop. We were counting on Dietz being that guy, but that's looking less likely with his injury.

We have a good team.  Not a perfect team, those do not exist.  And we've seen enough SEC baseball to realize the home team ends up getting JUST a few critical calls per game to eek out a win.  You do not get a lot of gifts on the road.  I agree A&M and Ky will likely wins these 2 series.  If we learn to hit under pressure, we do have a chance.  Right now the hitting is putting enormous pressure on the pitching and this could eventually bring down the pitching. The good thing is we get to see the end results. We will be whining or cheering all the way.

UK has played a similar schedule to ours.  A&M is more the real deal at this point.  And I'm fine if they earn the #1 overall seed in the NCAAT and the burden and curse of it.  We still have some answers to find before the postseason.

A&M and Kentucky both have more favorable schedules than us down the back stretch which significantly helps them:

Final 5 SEC Series:

A&M
Alabama (AWAY)
Georgia (HOME)
LSU (AWAY)
Ole Miss (AWAY)
Arkansas (HOME)

Kentucky
Tennessee (HOME)
USCe (AWAY)
Arkansas (HOME)
Florida (AWAY)
Vandy (HOME)
*8-1 on the road in SEC play

Arkansas
South Carolina (AWAY)
Florida (HOME)
Kentucky (AWAY)
Mississippi State (HOME)
A&M (AWAY)

Ours is definitely backloaded including where the series will be played.

That Kentucky and Arkansas series is gonna be crazy this year with the hiring of Coach Cal.
I'm sure they will have extra motivation to beat us. To bad it isn't at home this year.
