Dawgs vs. Cats - Game 1

[BeardoMSU]

Even the announcers want to see Sims, lol.

[HoopsDawg]

Who we got on the bench? It may be time to try someone else rather than Hatcher

You got Pimentel and Clark. But the better move would probably be Cumbest to RF and Allen to 1B. But I'm not sure if Allen has worked at 1B all year.

[maroonmania]

Allen needs to go back to 1B, try Cumbest in RF and put Hatcher on the bench...

At this point you have to give someone else a shot. Not sure if TA is ok with going back to first but if he is then I would be good with playing Cumbest in RF. At least I feel like Cumbest can get better with more ABs. Hatcher is worse now than he was as a freshman.

Pimentel is likely the only option. Kellum Clark might could play first base, but he hasn't been healthy. Hell Cumbest is huge. See if he can handle first base.

Heck, TA has played a lot more 1B at MSU than RF.

[BeardoMSU]

Now the ump wants to squeeze, lol.

That's true, he's not terribly good at 1B though.

[BeardoMSU]

at least we got the lead man.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Hatcher is up. Inning over.

Hitting 218 overall and 150 with RISP. Also second in K’s.

[BeardoMSU]

That's true, he's not terribly good at 1B though.

Probably better than RF, lol.

And that move lets us have both Brad and Skinner in the OF.

He has but he's not a good defensive first baseman. Plus he's short. But at this point, you can't be choosy because Hatcher absolutely sucks at the plate. I'm open to anything at this point.

[BeardoMSU]

Pick off!!!

[chef dixon]

That looked easily safe on that replay

[Bulldog1]

That's true, he's not terribly good at 1B though.

He's not but that move would be our best possible lineup.

[msstate7]

I went back and looked. Entering this season, Hatcher was 98/341 (.287) with 25 extra base hits. He's better than he's performing this year. Come on Hatcher, get going

[maroonmania]

Nice pickoff! I will say that BS doesn't look to have the control the last 2 appearances that he had before that. He is missing his spots.

[msstate7]

Safe

Pimentel is likely the only option. Kellum Clark might could play first base, but he hasn't been healthy. Hell Cumbest is huge. See if he can handle first base.

Todd thinks Lemonis would not make the change but...

A freak natural athlete like Cumbest could play 1b.

If Prince Fielder can play 1B, Cumbest can play 1B

[BeardoMSU]

Squeeze. **** you ump.

Well, we went to two CWS with TA at first and Hatcher is nothing special defensively.
