Wyers should get a start at SS tomorrow.

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
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

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.
But he has to tighten up and fly straight. Oak's quote, "that's not something I'm going to tolerate in this program."

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.
Woodson seems to be getting hotter, so it's a funny time to pull him. But SS defense is something key to achieving big things.

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 ridiculous

Woodson is the SS.
Gatlin Sanders got most of the time at back up SS in the spring. I would not be surprised if that's who BOC rolls with if Woodson needs a day off. Wyers is mostly going to be at 2B although yes, he played SS at Bryant and I think we will see Wyers play more when we are facing a LHP.
Woodson has made some mistakes but his first weekend was pretty rough at the plate and he has gotten his average up to .261 in a week and overall his defense has been adequate and he has made some nice plays at SS. It's also really his first time starting in college so he is making a little more of an adjustment coming in from a different program plus having a lot of expectations placed on him. 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.
DNF in February contains HRs. You gotta hit it like Parker to get HRs.

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.
And to be honest I was very pleased with the number of home runs we hit today. That bodes very well for the future. We should have guys that hit at least five home runs or more from each position group.

I missed it, what did he do.

What was the issue with Raymond?

False. Wyers is a legit 2B.

This Dallas series is great test. If dudes wig out and make big Es then changes will happen. Normal business.
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.

And that's the thing with Gat. Outstanding defense but literally zero power. And this year he hasn't hit very well so far either.
