The Virginia OF'ers are off to slow starts

[Todd4State]

Nunnalee not in the lineup today but Teel is and he's actually been worse than Nunnalee. I tell you one thing, BOC had a quick hook with Milewski. He hasn't played in the last several games that I know of.

Now Milewski I am a little worried about. He was expanding the zone too much. And James and Raymond are both hitting well although James struggles sometimes defensively.

[Coach34]

Thats what great about this team. It's so talented you get pushed to perform day after day. Good to see them respond today. Good to see us blowout a doorknob team.

Perform. Thats what is required in a Top 5 program

He hasnt seen the field since opening weekend. I'm wondering if he mouthed off or something.

He has disappeared, as much as this staff has been platooning, mixing and matching you have to figure something is up. We may not see him again.

Something's happened, other than his lack of hitting. I mean, he hasn't even pinch hit in some of these blow outs just to try to get him back on track.

He was on deck when Bevis hit the walk off versus Delaware and had caught the half inning prior.

I'm guessing this is something more than performance. Oak was asked about Foster losing his spot in the weekend rotation after 2 bad starts and responded by saying that Foster had earned his spot in the fall/preseason and 2 bad games shouldn't completely override that. Yet here we are with Milewski staring the year with 2 bad games after earning the spot in fall/preseason and he's all but vanished completely. Gotta be some sort of disciplinary action.

It's still very early in the season. Both of them had really slow starts last year. Neither really started coming around until early March. Nunnallee had a stretch in February where he was like 0-13. Then he had a breakout game where he went 5-5 and continued trucking along. Pretty much the same for Teel. They will probably come around. Some guys just start slow.

Maybe they are just like Rowdy Jordan
Edit: I see it’s been discussed after reading through the thread.

Also, James and Raymond have both been hitting very well.

Teel finally using the whole field. Getting him going is huge.

[smootness]

Do yall still think it might be better to use somebody else in the OF?

[Todd4State]

Do yall still think it might be better to use somebody else in the OF?

I hope the answer is no.

[Maroon Glasses]

Do yall still think it might be better to use somebody else in the OF?

I was a no during the struggle and I'm definitely a no after the struggle.

[Homedawg]

There's a reason teel is getting paid what he is. Oak isn't stupid Teel is fine

[Coach34]

He's hitting better but still had the hat trick today. Just saying he shouldnt be an auto write-in right now. He may get there tho

[Coach34]

Make that 4 and a crucial last one

Idk what you're supposed to do when your him on the fourth one. I wouldn't have made this double comment. That was a shit ump

Got to swing the bat. He got by on a borderline pitch the one before. He wasnt going to get 2 in a row.

Brother it was half a foot inside. It wasn't close. The crash out was justified. He shoulda just crowded the plate and got hit by it. The ump decided he was ump showing us - I don't want Teel swinging at that trash pitch.

[Coach34]

They literally showed it on the pitch cam with the box. It was on the black- you have to ****ing swing there. Especially when he let you stay on the pitch before that could have been called.
