Texas A&M (10-9, 0-3 SEC) will likely drop out of the top 25 rankings in nearly every media outlet by Monday afternoon after losing its SEC opening series vs. No. 17 Alabama (19-1, 3-0 SEC), dropping all three games due to a combination of poor piching out of the bullpen and an even worse performance at the plate.
For the third time this weekend, Texas A&M's starting pitching has not been the issue, as Myles Patton, like Ryan Prager and Justin Lamkin before him, provided enough on the mound after allowing just five hits and one earned run with six strikeouts. In his relief, Weston Moss allowed four hits and Alabama's second run of the day while also striking out four.
Allowing just two runs is good enough to win on most nights, but Texas A&M's offense produced just four hits, including Jace LaViolette's 0-4 showing despite making contact during nearly all his at-bats.
On the other hand, Alabama pitcher Bobby Alcock had an outstanding start, lasting seven innings. All of Texas A&M's four hits came during his time on the mound, which included eight strikeouts. At this point, it isn't surprising that the Aggies finished 0-3 to start SEC play, and this weekend's road trip to Nashville to face Vanderbilt (15-5, 1-2 SEC) doesn't make things any easier.
Lastly, while Texas A&M's bullpen and lack of consistent hitting continue to be issues, fielding errors are also a primary culprit, as the Aggies have committed 23 errors in 19 games compared to 51 errors last season.
Texas A&M will host A&M Corpus-Christi on Tuesday, March 18 at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on SEC Network+.
Texas A&M will face Vanderbilt on the road starting Thursday, March 20, at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will be aired on the SEC Network.
