These two are 1 and 2 in the sec in hr's. Reed has 3 in the series now for 19 total. Orvis has 2 for 11 total.
I really wish we had a power threat.
Before you tell they're playing in little park think back to Orvis' shot at dudy noble. Both of these guys are legit.
Wes Rea was supposed to develop into that type of HR hitter, and everyone thought it was going to happen after all the solid strides he made last year. Instead, we are getting the Wes Rea of his freshman year.Quote:

We just don't do the little things. Terrible botched play on that chopper.
Orvis has a 15-game sec hit streak. I'm jealous of the kid...Quote:

I wish we had it too. We will going forward IMO... If Cohen would unleash them together...Quote:

That's why there's a "position" known as DH. Wish Cohen would check it out and realize it's to get a badass power hitter who sucks on D into the lineup, not an extra midget slap hitter who's prone to K or popup.Quote:

Renfroe one of best hitters in NCAA - got on base a lot and was a threat every AB. Got pitched around a lot. Rea came up a lot with runners on base = more pitches to hit. It's plain and simple to anyone who understands baseball.Quote:

Interestingly, he's only viewed as a borderline 1st-rounder as of now.Quote:
