Renfroe bomb 3-2. UK going to the bullpen
- Thread starter birdawg

Him and Frazier are the only two capable of adjusting mid game.
You could see Renfroe adjust in his 3rd at bat and just got under a hittable change up. Then smoked the ball in his 4th at bat for a homer. You look at most of the rest of the guys in the lineup and they just can't adjust their approach. Henderson, Fullerton, Rea, and Norris all looked totally off balance and baffled by what was being thrown at them. Even Bradford looked bad although he did get that big hit to move Frazier 1st to 3rd.
Now obviously Renfroe and Frazier are better caliber players than everyone else in the rest of the lineup, but the difference between those two and the others is staggering. They are extremely consistent because they can adjust so they don't go in big slumps like everyone else in the lineup is prone to at times.

They are very "complete" players.
Somewhat of a thread hijack: Renfroe has 9 HRs right now and did not play in one of the games against Samford, either of the games against Rhode Island and the first two games against St. Johns.
Its been fun watching him "put it all together" over the last two and half years. The kid is just a great baseball player.

The lack of adjustment was my biggest problem with our first game...
When you've got a tremendous changeup guy like UK had going in the first game, you sit dead red on that changeup and stick with an opposite field approach and take the fastball and breaker. Always SIT on a pitcher's best pitch and take it away if it's of the straight variety...
