Is there any correct way to answer that question? It seems that everyone has their own ideas on the subject and it weighs heavily on your personal coaching philosophy. In the Panthers’ three-game set with Arkansas over the weekend, Eastern gave up a total of 35 runs. Of course the Panthers were going up against a Razorback team that is now on an eight-game win- ning streak, is undefeated at home and is close to being ranked in the top 25. So it appears that in this case good hitting prevailed. But what is true sometimes, is not true all the time. Case in point. Look at major league baseball over the past few years. Which teams have been the most productive in the mid to late ‘90’s? If you had to pick a candidate from the National League it would have to be the Atlanta Braves. And the representative from the American League would be the New York Yankees. The Braves have the best pitch- ing staff in the majors. Any of the five starters could go to any other team in the league and be the ace of the staff. Last year the Braves’ top three Lacey Buidosik / Associate photo editor starters had three of the lowest Junior Eastern wrestler Mike Russow takes down a teammate Monday during practice.
