But this team I think is getting higher quality at bats overall, compared to last year. Our numbers w RISP bears that out. Our home run pace will probably actually drop once we get into ACC play and face generally better pitching than some of the lesser teams we've played thus far in the tournaments. This isn't at all a downbeat thing, just stating the obvious. I love this team's potential.
