It's America's Team, and feel free to start your own game thread without mentioning the best team in MLB if you like.

Love this baseball team

We're peaking too early.

If we can get Wood and Carter rolling, I'll feel a lot better about the pen.

The thought has crossed my mind. 

Diggs isn't hitting, Molina and Tygart are struggling a little.  The team isn't exactly firing on all cylinders.   

[hit_that_line]

I could see Tygart ending up in the pen if he struggles today.

We're peaking too early.

I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind.

However, we've also played the 4 worst teams in the conference in addition to playing a home-heavy schedule. We've played 29 games and 23 have been at Baum-Walker, including 3 of our 4 SEC series.

The going will get much tougher as we play better teams and hit the road. Lot of baseball still to be played at places like Tuscaloosa, Columbia, Lexington, and College Station. And that's in addition to playing Texas Tech, Florida, Missouri State (which is always a dogfight), and State at BWS.

Hot start, mid season lull drop a couple series, crank up end of season.

Peaking?

I've watched every game and thought, "My God, when we start playing up to our potential we will be unstoppable."

We have guys that are still working through injury.  Guys that are still trying to find their groove.   We still have a lot of upside.

How do I get tickets to Macke's Baseball Landing?

They put them on sale for each weekend's games at 9:00 am the Monday before that series.  You buy them online through the ticket office.  I think they're still $35 each.
