Questions you'd like to see Cohen asked tomorrow

And for the love of all that is MSU can we please not turn this thread into an argument of how much we should bunt?

That said, here's a few I'd ask directly:

1) You used a ton of different lineups this year. What is your philosophy around creating a lineup? ...follows up of What kind of impact do you think a stable vs. fluctuating lineup has on the players?

2) What effects did the new balls have on the staff, particulary Ross who struggled for most of the year

3) With our team speed, looking back should we have run more?

There are some things you just can't ask in a presser and get a good answer to - i.e. why do we suck at baserunning or a roguedogue question about elbow positiong of hitters.

1. why bat a punch and Judy-cleanup when He only has 8 rbi all year?
2. why bat the fastest player behind the slowest player.
3. why bunt a man from 2nd to 3td when your batter is left-handed and a ground ball pulled will advance the runner plus give yourself a chance for a base hit?

What exactly is causing the pattern of regression/lack of big steps in improvement in many of our players?

Do you think we need to focus more outside of MS for more polished athletes that don't take 3 years to get meaningful contributions?

Are you going to hire a hitting specialist?
