Still searching at a couple of lineup spots going into SEC play. RF is still up for grabs and they haven’t been able to settle on a DH. I’m not a fan of Pelletier at DH, he just hasn’t swung the bat well. Think Hindle against LH pitching and Hudson Brown against RH pitching may be our best lineup.

early season wins were nice, but the ish gets real this weekend when SEC play starts

Hindle has been out since Saturday. Think he had pretty much settled in as the guy before that. i'd guess he's back at some point this weekend.

I think this series will be telling.

Both teams have taken care of business in the OOC, and neither team has really tested itself against good competition much.

Georgia has shown a penchant for giving up chunks of runs early In games but then exploding late to eek out some close wins against lesser teams.

UK has been hot and cold at the plate. We run rule teams sometimes, but then struggle to even score 2-3 runs the other days. UK's pitching has been consistently good to great (with the exception of the 9th inning meltdown against Wofford in game 2).

I think a realistic hope is to win 1 game, but anything more than that would be a great outcome for a road series against a top 10 SEC team.
