Baseball short stuff: Plenty of blame to go around for Arizona's sub-.500 start

Arizona’s 11-14 start to the college baseball season is distressing because Andy Lopez’s junior class, all veterans of the 2012 national title team, haven’t produced. That signals another year without postseason play. Junior outfielder Joe Maggi was hitting just .263 through Friday, although he went 2 for 3 Saturday to lift the mark to .318; he led Pac-12 hitters with a .388 average in conference games last season. Junior catcher Riley Moore, a first-team freshman All-American in 2012, is hitting .207, and junior pitcher Tyler Crawford has an ERA of 9.78. That’s big trouble.
