It is very frustrating how Alabama has outscored us 12-6 in the first 2 of 3 home games against them. I hope we can beat Alabama to salvage this series, but I won't be surprised if Alabama sweeps us to drop our SEC record to 0-3.
I had a few beers, but from what I remember from the scoreboard stats, almost every Alabama player was batting over 300. think we have one.
Their offense has been redhot coming into the weekend and the lineup is loaded, but BA isn't hurting us at all these two games.
Free bases in the form of BBs and Es have absolutely killed us; and of course credit is due to Bama as they have been able to take advantage in a major way.

That's 12 runs in 2 games; 11 of which were by their 6 total HR. 3 of those HR were solo, meaning the other 3 HR accounted for 8 runs. Of these 8 runs, only 2 of the batters reach via a hit, both of which were singles.
They've not really outhit us so much as they have completely out-mashed us and capitalized on our mistakes.
Frankly, this is downright sickening.
