Let see what happens.
With oak's postgame comments about Woodson and Raymond's antics today, I doubt either of those two start tomorrow.
We are going to have to make a decision on infield D vs offense at some point
I think our fans have a higher opinion of Wyers than the coaches do.
He's solid, but it took him 5 games to get in the game (he went 4-4) and hasn't done much other than 1 AB since then.
Woodson is the SS.
I think it's Woodson's to lose.Quote:

Nobody is disputing your post. But what we see with our eyes is that while Woodson has great hands- his is not a SS. He is a 3B. His range is literally Westburg. Wyers is a legit SS- but he wont hit like Woodson. That is the fight BOC fights daily
Woodson has to hit better than 261 to justify his defense. At 6-4, he could be another 1B since Reece is locked in at 3B. February in the season is too late for a position change.Quote:

He tried to pimp a long fly ball that was dropped on the warning track. A good coach would have subbed immediately. Our Genespage scorer calling it a double is ridiculousQuote:

I think he will be fine once he gets settled in.
He pimped it, but it looked gone. Honest mistake. The LF could have caught it, but it would have been a nice catch.Quote:

Yeah. The ball doesn't carry very well at Dudy Noble in February. And the two players that pimped home runs are both playing at MSU for the first time.Quote:

I missed it, what did he do.

I am more pissed about the outfielders running into each other that according to BOC they make calling fly balls a priority. Even if the batter did run it was always going to be a double.Quote:

If Woodson starts to mash, it will change the equation
Last year, Cupp was supposed to be Ozzy with the Glove and ok with bat. Turned out to be Buckner Glove and Mendoza bat.
Sanders can probably hit 320, plus glove, but limited mash.
This is true. His arm strength is a concern.Quote:

MSU can put 7 to 8 experienced right-handed bats on him. Sully, Chance, Vystas, Woodson, Frei, James/Milewski, and Bevis. Assuming Ace and Teel are nailed starters.
Shitty Lefty on the Bump today for Delaware. 7 RHH in the lineup.
This guy is actually probably their best pitcher.Quote:

We'll platoon first and second base with Bevis/Stallman and Frei/Wyers
I think Ace and Woodson pretty much have 3B and SS settled. Gat may play some SS if Woodson struggles some but all in all I think Ryder has been OK.
We have four outfielders with Chance, Teel, Nunnalee, and Vytas. And then we'll see if Parker can factor in...maybe Mershon some too.
Noah is the DH and has that locked down pretty much.
It looks like our bullpen roles are getting settled too. Webb at closer, Davis as relief ace, Sweeney in long relief. I'm sure we'll see Pitzer coming out of the bullpen soon as well. And Gleason has been very good. Would like to see Dane Burns step up. And then of course we have our freshman unicorns and I think there is a very good chance 1-2 of them factors in later in the year out of the bullpen.
Charlie struggled again today.
