Baseball Lineups: 2010

[cajun2bag]

_ You must not have been watching the same game i was because Cook gave up 8 hits and 7 runs all were earn runs, and remember our SS save the game against MT on Friday nite,and 2 of the errors should have been made if we had someone who can play 1st base _

Fontnote is not a SS, would be a lot better for us if we can have him play 2nd.

He has 19 errors. He has also made several more that were not errors because he got an out on a double play,but did not get the double play. I think he can play 2nd but I hope he doesn't play SS next season!

The thing that worries me is still the hitting and power of the lineup next year. All but 1 of our recruits are pitchers so we basically have to improve hitting through practice rather than bringing in new bats. This will be the biggest area of concern IMO. Pitching will be solid with near everyone coming back. Hopefully a new or less used pitcher or 2 will step up to fill the spots being vacated.

I'm very offended by your spelling. Being a FONTENOT and all

Thats what she said!!!

I'd like to see a lot more small ball next year anyway. The Tigue is a graveyard, playing for the homerun in that park is not a strategy.

We have guys who can run, but we don't steal bases at all. bunts for base hits, hit and runs, steals and putting pressure on the defense is the best option for the kind of lineup we will put on the field next year

Smith will be the pop in our lineup, when Whipple comes back in a year he'll have pop too. We will also have a lot of speed; Fuse, Olasin, and Goulas are capable of stealing a lot of bases.

The outfield is large. WKU hit 80 bombs this year, about 1.5 per game, but none at the Tigue. Credit UL pitchers...and the Tigue. We need speedy gap hitters that can hit for average and doubles, not necessarily home runs. We will improve when the team BA is over .300 again.

First of all, when and where did you guys hear that Whip is out next year?
Next, you guys are forgetting the Porrier and Bowman will be big contributors next season, if not starters.. bringing in some corner JUCO's, so that could also play a role. Third, if you guys don't think the long ball plays a big factor, check out the HR stats for the top 3 teams in the SBC. All 3 had big power numbers. This is not your daddy's SBC. We need (at least the threat) of the homerun ball. Especially considering that our Pen will not be a dominant one again next season.

Apparently Robe commented on Mr. Bitter Whipple misses 2010. Nearly everyone else in the belt plays in a smaller ball park. The wind blows in from right at the Tigue at least 10 MPH 80% of the time. The rest of the league plays here 3 games every other year. Finding power hitters and signing them sounds easier than it is.
