    One thing that kills me is Mangum swinging at every pitch. I mean one AB, the catcher had to get up on his tip toes to catch the pitch, he still swung (I’m exaggerating lol, but it was VERY HIGH. The catcher did have to stand all the way up though.)
    And I said yesterday that we need to put Westburg and Anderson in the lineup, see what they can do. Do you agree?

    Hard to believe as a JR that he hasn't improved one iota in pitch selection than he was as a FR. He may even be worse.

    How many coaches has he had since he was a freshman? It's a revolving door of people, it has to be a major factor in why our juniors seem to all be poorly developed.

    They have a different coach at every level of the minor leagues too- that doesnt seem to hurt players does it?

    Thats just an excuse. Magnum chooses to be undisciplined, People like that can't handle getting behind in the count- makes them edgy so they try to be overly aggressive and hit what they can. It's just poor baseball

    I think Poole should be 2nd. Mangum swings at everything and if a runner is infront of him he'll hit into a DP often. He should be leadoff to utilize his high average and + speed, and to minimize the risk of a DP.

    Put Pool 2nd- he's not as much of a DP risk, and you can still bunt him like you said. Only then if he gets thrown out, we have Mangum at 2nd instead of Mangum on 1st and 1 out, which his what you'd have if you put Mangum at the 2 in this hypothetical
