Gents, regular season is over and I think we can agree our offense did very, very not terribly. LSU leads the conference is almost every offensive stat
1st in batting average (.310), on base percentage (.440), slugging (.568), runs scored (522), hits, (569), RBIs (478), home runs (115), total bases (1042, total plate appearances (2332), sacrifice flies (32), and hit by pitch (119)
2nd in walks (331).
the only other offensive stat that means much is steals. we are 14th (28). not a fast team or much of a small ball team obviously. Doc had a good point when he said this could be an issue in postseason.
hats off to our Tigers, this is one of our greatest offensive teams ever and certainly our best since the '96 to '98 gorilla ball teams.
Pitching. not as dominant but much better than the last 3 weeks looked like.
1st in wins (42), loses, and batters struckout looking (170)
2nd in strikeouts (604)
3rd in batting average (.227), wild pitches (53), hit batters (46), and home runs allowed (53)
4th in saves 13), hits allowed (400), walks allowed (220), doubles allowed (73), and triples allowed (4)
6th in ERA (4.70), runs allowed (272), and eared runs allowed (244)
these stats are pretty solid as well but took a hit the last three weekends.
Geaux Tigers! first game Wednesday morning vs USCe or UGA. both played us well this year
