That's all on Collins. That was an easy routine average third baseman play. He tried to snag it out of the air instead of trying to field it by getting behind it. He is not a third baseman. That was a little league play.Quote:

We aren't good
Blake Smith to the pen
Collins DHQuote:

Dang, leave for 5 minutes where we are up 5-1 and now tied at 5-5. Looking like I may get a lot more free time this Spring. If we go to 1-3 this season is almost over before it starts.
I think it is time to move Reid to the cleanup spot and maybe put him back at third and put Kruger in OF and DH Collins IMO.
Please don't bunt!!!
And we bunted and the pitcher can't make the play!!! Why bunt the 7th place hitter who is hot in the third inning???
Kruger is a C. He's only DH this weekend because he's got a nagging injury. I expect he & Marrero to platoon and Kruger will DH when he isn't behind the dish. The obvious solution is Hump to 3B, Brown to LF/RF, and Collins to the bench/DH depending on who's behind the plate. DH when Kruger is back there, bench when it's Marrero.Quote:

Some guys you can fix, some you can't. We seem to have more of the latter. Just gotta wait for them to graduate.
3) The freshmen battle, so I'd expect to see the biggest difference with them.
Marrero, so far, is a major liability in the lineup.
Marrero has shown nothing so far... Hopefully he picks it up soon
I have to somewhat disagree because he squared on the first pitch too. It was a well executed bunt. I think it was called from CoenzQuote:

Bart confirmed game time was moved up. Thought I saw it scheduled for 330. May partially explain the smaller crowd.
Jack "Freddy" Kruger continues his hot hitting, now 8-5.
