OK, Matt Maloney had a good game this week but how can Craig (meant Greg) Smith keep getting overlooked for SEC pitcher of the week? He has thrown 2 consecutive complete game shutouts and over 25 consecutive innings without giving up a run.

Maloney probably deserved it since it is 'pitcher of the week " and not pitcher of the past 3 weeks. However, they could have given Smith a little love an overlooked that fact.
