#41 looks to be missing on his spots by 18-24" right now.

Skelton isn't hitting under .200.

Its time to find somebody else to play LF. Geez, we are nearly 1/3 the way through the season at this point.

I like Rowdy, but at this point, he is hurting the lineup badly. He does not look comfortable at the plate at all right now, and is late on most swings.

Well Rowdy was up in the inning before, however a player’s stats this early in the season don’t mean a whole lot, his pop up frequency is concerning right now though, would probably be better to go with someone else until he stops doing that but hard to get him in a rhythm in such a short season

Well here you go. Comparing no out man on 2nd and 1 out man on 3rd... even 71% chance of scoring at least one 05-08. 73-71% in 2011-2012 in favor of man on 3rd 1 out. You may say “golly gee that proves it” but it overwhelmingly does not because you can’t successfully sacrifice at a 95% rate, not even close.

I would go ahead and bring in Cole Gordon rather than have White face the tying run.

Keep in mind that is for MLB, better defensive players and on average worse hitting than college, Rowdy isn’t really a 0.200 hitter, but is obviously struggling right now. Don’t think we should be playing guys on a major college team if we think sac bunting is the best option for them

Dude hit a shot to the right corner. Mac comes down with it after running 50 yards to get it. What a snag. Going into the top of the 9th. 4-2 dawgs.
