    Bet you it is Skelton defense or framing that is keeping him in lineup. Have not gotten to watch much, but I bet it is the case.

    Yeah, I mean Henderson has said he is better at communicating with the pitchers, but we have to get something at the plate.

    I'll be surprised if we dont score some tonight- I dont see NM State having a deep pitching staff- but we are going to have to score. Not starting a veteran like Laloosh just makes me wonder wtf?

    A Jr SS in the SEC Batting in the 5 hole hitting below .200 is a problem .. it’s time to start hitting or go with the freshman

    That freshman can't hit any worse than FoamBat. It's nearly impossible. About time to roll with him

    Bet he can field worse. This team will win or lose with pitching and defense

    I'd rather play the young guy and get him ready for next year. Bring in FoamBat late in games for D

    You've got a good point, but I doubt it's a huge drop off

    Not ready to give up on this season just yet. If we do indeed collapse, sure, play the young guy. I think this is a low 2 or 3-seed in a regional though

    Have not seen the kid field, so no idea. I do doubt that Henderson is playing Alexander if the kid is just as good fielding and can hit better. Has Henderson had a problem with playing young guys in your opinion?

    who is giving up on the season? The freshman could easily hit .200 and play a solid SS. FoamBat doesnt really give us anymore than that

    No, not really. How many freshmen do we have in the lineup tonight? 3 or 4? I just don't giving him a shot- see what he's got.

    We can't have a shitty SS when SEC play starts. If I was Poppy Hendo, Foambat gets these 2 to break it. If he doesn't, he is benched. Go with a freshman and give him the wknd to get in the groove. Maybe that's what LA needs is a gut check. We already have 4 in the lineup. This yr seems Moore like a rebuild than last did.
