Not at all. Wally has been struggling and we definitely need another option at 3B
Byars has really struggled the first seven games so not surprised to see a few other guys get a chance. With McCarthy hitting a homer yesterday and Waldschmidt having a tough series, guess I'm not that surprised to see him sit this one out. Don't think that will be a long term thing, though.
I say it because it's happening in one game and these are debuts. It's pretty different than a usual sub.
Well, I am not upset with changes. You can't lose to a Wright State giving up so many runs and expect to do well in the SEC. The hitting has not been timely given how many runners we have left on base. I think it sends a message that we can't afford mediocre outings.
They are hitting the mistake pitches with authority. Love that. You won't always get them so you have to smack 'em when you do.
Side note. 15-20 students were out tailgating before the game. Really good to see, hope that grows.
Glad to see us jump on Wright State today and not give them any room to breathe.
Zack Lee has looked really good in his two starts.
Seems like the team took offense at losing to Wright State yesterday and took it out on them today. Really looked sharp other than McCarthy's slide too early. 15-0 and still 11 LOB. It is pretty obvious that Wright State ran out of pitching but the Cats pounded them into submission rather than just winning.
Not sure if it's going to work out this well every week, but if the options are Zack Lee, Ryan Hagenow, Mag Cotto/whoever else is left from the weekend, they're going to have a chance to win a lot of games on Sunday.
After today’s performance it will be interesting to see if Felker starts finding his way into the lineup more often.
Yea that was a curiosity for me coming in. Sometimes a guy is just on a heater. Looks like it was no heater for Burkes and he's dialed in.
I think it is going to be interesting to see how this schedule shakes out. So far, the only teams on our NC schedule prior to the conference slate are Elon (4-3) and Morehead State (8-0). Evansville, Wright State, Indiana State, Murray State, and Ohio are all 2-5 while Southern Illinois is 3-5 and Indiana is 3-4. Indiana State has probably played the toughest schedule so far, having played Miami and Iowa, but they also got swept by Northeastern. None of the weekend opponents have played an overly difficult schedule to start this early season, so would hope to see them with better records to start. Still, we will see how it shakes out with them in conference play.
I was at the game on Sunday, was very pleasantly surprised. Lots of clutch hitting, which was absent most of the first few games.
Crowd was great for an early season OOC game. Hope we go on a run against the soft spot in our schedule.
