More good news

[Coach34]

Highfill hit the portal and McPh and Burns announced they are staying. Now waiting to hear from Foster

[Cooterpoot]

And I'd expect more VERY good news shortly too

Yep. Our middle infield and starting rotation are about to get better.

A lot. It's nice when plans come together.

[Santiago]

What are the thoughts here on Chance returning ?

[Thick]

I would think pretty good.

[Coursesuper]

Very high.

[Cooterpoot]

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!

[Santiago]

The entire lineup may all bat over 300 this next season

[Commercecomet24]

I don't like talking bad about players but I couldn't watch another highfill at bat anymore and he was a passed ball waiting to happen! Happy about Mcpherson and Burns, we needed both to stay and I understand we have some more help on the way!

[Coach34]

A wave of Va transfers just dropped

Thats great but I would rather have a bunch of 275 hitters who know how to hit when there is a man on 2nd and 3rd with no outs than a hitter who hits a single HR once in awhile. Face it we sucked with men in scoring positions/

If we were down by 7 runs and it was late innings, and we had stranded 27 runners throughout the game, you could count on Hines to hit a solo shot with 2 outs.

yes, but I will take a lineup batting north of 0.300
Pressure on pitchers, opposing coach has to consider, more threats. They cannot pitch around hitters for the next guy.
This lineup will be a gauntlet.
edit: some 2 out hitting is just luck of the ball having eyes. But I agree, we need contact hitters with runners in scoring position.

[Cooterpoot]

The BOOMS just keep hitting. It's like D-Day around here!

My problem with him was it never seemed like he was serious out there. I felt like I was watching a really big Little Leaguer.

That?s so true

[Todd4State]

Really high. But he may not be guaranteed to start.

[Travelingdawg]

Anyone want to post a list of the committed?
Thanks

It's posted in the transfer thread but it's

James Nunnallee-OF UVA
Vytas Valincius-OF/1B Illinois
Tomas Valincius-LHP UVA
Chone James-UT UVA

[NWADAWG]

A lot. It's nice when plans come together.

There's an A-Team gif needed here.

[KB21]

I hate to say it, but if Chance comes back, he?s going to have to fight for a spot on the field. If we are able to get Teel and Ford, it?s going to be tough for Chance to play with them and Nunnallee around. It?s a good problem to have.

[Pedrioa is King]

He won?t play. He?ll be a pinch hitter. Need to move on.

[Pancho]

If this goes the way I think it will, Chance is in a tuff spot.

[Todd4State]

He won?t play. He?ll be a pinch hitter. Need to move on.

Probably depends a lot on what happens with Ford. He isn't on the same planet as Ford but at least he is a solid player that can be productive.

I agree, remember a few bashing him a couple years ago. I like him and he is much improved. I wish him well and the best. He had a solid year.

My guess is Ford commits to Tennessee and then promptly signs pro.

Very possible.

[bigbub50]

Loved chance’s low k rate. He gets his money out of every at bat. True dawg. I think it would hurt him to transfer because he loves the maroon and white that much. And he held down center field. If he leaves cause he doesn’t have a spot, I will be following him very closely and cheering him on. I got a feeling in my gut he will be back and hold down a corner outfield spot.

[Coach34]

Beans coming back depends on the draft. Nobody is drafting him with that terrible arm. Frei is going to be the one to watch. We soooooo want him to return. If he does- he will start. We will also add quality OF'ers that are really OF'ers to our team.

I dont think Sullly gets drafted but it is possible. I would fire my scouts if they convinced me to draft Beans

Leave it to you to tear down a kid who busts his ass for this program every damn year. We know his arm is limited, but leave the kid alone. Think of your own son when posting nonsense

I'm sorry the truth bothers you Sir. I just seem to have a problem with it. Just like when I say Little 34 is limited offensively in basketball but a plus defender and Little Wool throws gas but cant locate in baseball. Both my kids bust their ass too but the truth is the truth

[ZedFedder]

Bryce (Brian?) Chance has turned into a really good college player, and that is what he is. A really good college player. Would love to have him back.

[Quaoarsking]

Who is Beans? I thought Chance was Trout?

[Coach34]

Who is Beans? I thought Chance was Trout?

I called him Trout because of the way people built him up relative to what he really was.

However, he is somehow nicknamed Beans. Which to me- is actually funnier than Trout. So Beans he is

We need a nickname index stickied at the top of the board.

Though kid that gets more out of his ability than most, love that kind of kid, but what other roster outside of Mizzu or USC east does he make? This is a business now.

[basedog]

34, he want get drafted but he has turned into a decent college ball player. I hope he comes back. Dude was one of the few clutch hitters.

[Thick]

I think he?s got good baseball IQ. Yes his arm is weak, but he?s a proven SEC ball player that has been a solid contributor. Every team needs that kind of leadership.

[Coach34]

If he wants to remain a Bulldog- I'm 100% for it. His Dad is a great Dude and a Dawg and he has been as well. But he is easily replaced if BOC does his job. One thing that could help is if Frei gets drafted and bolts. Thats the wild card

I hope they are both back. U can't have too much talent.

How does the 34 player roster work next year? Is it a hard 34 or is it divisible?

[TALL DAWG]

Y’all do realize Chance was one of our best hitters for the last month or so of the season, correct?

[Coach34]

But he wasnt for the first 2 months of the season. He did get hot for sure. He hit .250 in postseason including 0-10 in the Regional. He just aint "that guy" when it matters

Buttttt 34 u said @ wait till the weather warms up". Sooooo..... What did he end up batting. .330 plus I think.

[HoopsDawg]

Not exactly sure what you mean by divisible but it's a hard cap of 34. Gotta be at 34 by Dec. 1st.

[sack07]

I think he is asking if you have to provide all 34 with full scholarships. I think this is the case. You used to could divide up your 11.7 in baseball.

[HoopsDawg]

No. You don't have to provide 34 full but you can. And yes you can divide however you see fit. Up to the schools unless the conference makes its own rules.

[HoopsDawg]

We will provide 34 full. I imagine some schools, maybe a lot of schools, will provide less.

[sack07]

Probably a big reason we pulled OConnor. Would be interesting to see what UVa does.

Yes. I agree. UVA cares about Lacrosse and other sports.
