It's a combination of factors. Lost 6 seniors and a lot of pitching and bats. And the biggest intangible is leadership that has not been picked up by anyone yet. Mix that in with a new coaching staff, poor weather that has allowed sparse practicing(especially important with new players, new positions, and a new staff), a tougher schedule than they have ever played, and the record reflects all of that. They just need to have some fun, win or lose.
