Simply because we we don't have as "dominant" of a staff as we did 2 years ago....that team was LOADED with big talent and the team ERA was like 2.55 iirc...insane numher for CBB...and which is obviously 1.3 runs a game better than this year..but it is stupid to measure this year's team against a GREAT past staff like that.
This staff..despite what it looks like...still gets it done against the field...and that is a quantifiable fact...they are just barely higher than the #1 team ERA.
And as Marco said, there are only 8-9 teams in all of CBB with and ERA under 4.
We are "Dominant" against the field...and that is what matters and how this staff should be judged.
And that staff in 22...despite all it's talent and that ridiculous ERA..still lost to Notre Dame in the Supers because..
That's just baseball..
