Obviously we lose seniors Massanari, Holder, and Harvil as well. Pallazzone & McRee will be back as starters. Praying next year will finally be McRee’s year to prove he’s the phenom we thought he was when we signed him. Honestly, i’m not entirely optimistic.

As Ching noted, just with the loss of Mass, Lewis & Poythress we lose 63 homers. That’s enough to stop your heart for a minute.

We’ve gotta do something about our pitching. Good God, that was the most glaring problem the entire season. We used to be known around the country as “UGA – University of Good Arms.” Excited to see what the incoming freshman Montgomery will do, but we need 4 or 5 just like him. We do have 4 good left-handers coming in, 10 pitchers total. We’ll see how they measure up against the SEC though. Brady, Eller & Perno have really slacked off w/ recruiting the best pitchers which concerns me greatly quite frankly. Just good will not cut it anymore.

One last comment: i really wish Perno would shut his mouth when talking about our kids in the press. Its low rent to call a guy out like that publicly and its not the Georgia way. Perno needs to handle that stuff in-house. Expressing his frustrations about college kids in the press looks like he’s making excuses for bad play and for his coaching failures. He needs to remember, the buck stops with him…literally.

Great post as always Groo!
