Agreed and while it may be way too early in the season to be worried about this, the thing that was alarming about last night was the fact that Memphis really didn't pitch that well at all. Our batters were able to get ahead of the count all night long so we did a great job in forcing the Memphis staff to throw us good pitches, and I think that we got 10 guys on base from walks/HBPs, . The problem, though, is that even when we knew what they were about to throw, rarely was anyone able to do anything with those pitches. They may as well have been teeing them up for us at times, but we'd just pop them up or fly out over and over again. That seemed to be what Cohen was pissed about in the post game interview more than anything else, and hopefully he'll get that worked out or else put those guys on the bench.
Bradford was horrible, horrible, horrible at the plate last night. It was almost as if the Memphis staff breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped to the plate. Bradford personally left 6 men on base last night. If he gets even ONE hit last night, it's nearly a guarantee we bunt in the 9th and are able to tie it up.
Let's recap Bradford's night.
1st inning-Ole Babe Bradford comes up to the plate with the bases loaded, one out. First pitch swinging...popped up to the 1st baseman. Senior leadership moment 1.
3rd inning-Slugger Jose Bradford comes to the plate with Wes Rea in scoring position (maybe) on 2nd base. Two outs. First pitch swinging...popped up to the shortshop. Senior leadership moment 2.
5th inning-Sammy "Say it ain't Sosa" Bradford comes to the plate with Pirtle in scoring position on 2nd base. Two outs. Struck out swinging in 4 pitches. Senior leadership moment 3.
7th inning-****** Bradford comes to the plate with men on 2nd and 3rd. Two outs. Struck out LOOKING. Senior leadership moment 4.
9th inning- "****, it's better if I don't swing" Bradford...doesn't swing. Bradford is walked on a full count. You know the Memphis coaches were pissed after that pitch.

right now we are overrated big time This team is hitting like a bunch of vaginas
Time will tell what we have. But right now not impressed at all. we should be 4-0 if we are #2 in the nation. all the preseason hype may be the problem. i wont be overly concerned unless after 20 games we are 10-10.
