Vanderbilt Series

This series showed the world that we mean business. We were as focused as can be. We lasped late in game 3 but we are human. Matthew Britton was the star defensive player. He gunned down several runners and showed excellent glove work. Seth Heck was the offensive star. He is an on base machine. Batters 1-5 are good right now. Vickerson, Detz, Rea, Pirtle and Heck.

The starting pitching was outstanding. I would go with the same three until something bad happens.

The only concern I have is catcher. We need Gavin Collins to be more consistent at blocking balls. He is the best we have.

Lastly, we needed to win this series. We need to reestablish ourselves as the team to beat in the SEC. We took a step toward that this weekend.

Arizona weekend

Well, we didn't exactly do well. Saying goes you always learn something in a loss. We learned plenty.

Woodruff: what are the coaches going to do? Keep starting him hoping he turns it around or put him in bullpen? Friday we will know.

Batting lineup: we got to hit better. We have to play the guys who can hit at the moment, who is hot.

RHP Paul Young

Well, it is bad news. He has to have Tommy John surgery. He will have it tomorrow in Birmingham. He would have been a great addition to this years staff. But, he will rehab and hopefully be back by middle of next spring. Some players can come back quickly.

As for as 2015, I see him coming in and giving us a few innings. Good luck, Paul!

Weekend recap 3\2

Well, we hit another gear. The stabilization of the defense was the main factors, I believe. The two most important positions got settled: shortstop and catcher.

Shortstop: Seth Heck is the answer. He doesn't miss a grounder and not a bad hitter either. He us what you call a baller. He and Pirtle will become a tag team at MIF.

Catcher: Gavin Collins is the main starter. Will throw runners out. A cannon for an arm. He will be a great hitter down the line, not bad now. SO only once. Cody Walker a JC guy is a solid catcher too. A great defender.

OF: just really solid play by everyone. Vickerson, Bradford, Henderson, Armstrong, Brown and Robson. We do have the best group in the SEC.

Pitching was stellar. Roles are developing. Woodruff did struggle but he has to continue to go through the tough time. He will be great. Mitchell of course outstanding, just gets outs. Those two are a great combo.

Sexton and Hudson are getting better and better. As long as they go 5 innings I am fine w it. They are winners.

I bet the SEC rotation for Georgia will be Woodruff Fitts and Bracewell, until those freshmen can get experience.

DH- Reid Humphreys made a jump this weekend. He must bat every game, he and Garner are your DH's.
