A mystery solved

PrintUntil this weekend, I had hopes for our offense. Our BASEBALL offense. No more.
Details after the jump.
We have four home runs in 24 games. One every six games. I believe we could take batting practice in a hotel ballroom and not break anything.
Four regulars – Tant Shepherd, Paul Montalbano, Jonathan Walsh and Kevin Lusson – are hitting under .220. Combined, they’re batting .198 while scoring 35 runs in 299 plate appearances. None of the four is a freshman.
We’re averaging 5.3 runs per game, with the toughest part of the schedule ahead. Last year’s offensively challenged team averaged 6.7.
We’ve played two 15-inning games and one 14-inning game (plus two others that went extra innings). The pitching is letting us hang in there, but . . .
Among Big 12 teams, we’re ninth in hitting (ahead of only Kansas).
Based on the above, I believe I’ve got an answer to one of the pressing questions of recent months – the whereabouts of Greg Davis. He’s calling plays for the baseball team.

GD surfaces again?
I thought I saw him multitasking at the ’Zona game.
TCU is probably licking their chops over the hitting averages.
We have a 12th man and he's Bryan Harsin

Too many foul balls
With GD, our hitters are instructed to aim for either foul line unless they’re playing the corners. Hey, if they’re giving us the foul line, you take what the defense gives you.

I laughed
Numbers are down across the country.
Last year’s team was 18-6 (4-2 in conference), the year before when we went to Omaha, the team was 17-7 (4-5 in Big XII) at this point.
I hate to say it but, it has got to be as easy as hitting a free throw.
Or counting to 4 (uh 5)
