Laf G7: Louisiana vs Arizona

[Turbine]

Throwing out a pitcher on 2 days rest will never count as "they were better" in my book.

Monday, game 6, Steve hit the hardest ball of the day, ran the bases well and willed his way to home plate. He provided a spark offensively. In game 7, Arizona was supposed to be throwing out tired arms, we expected Ming to start, and Steve hits pitchers with velocity. His first at bat, he mashed a ball that was unfortunately, within reach of first base. He also missed a HR by a ____ hair. Having his bat in the lineup was the correct call. I don't care what happened on Sunday.

you know how i know you dont pay attention. that ball was caught by the second baseman, and thrown behind conrad to get the double play.
there also wasnt a spark offensively from anyone the entire day, save clement. just stop

Kennon is a very good second basemen. I would be in favor of moving him back to that spot, predicated on other movements on the roster. He's one of the best athletes on the team.

Steve Sensley was not a liabilty in RF this year. He has the best arm in the outfield for sure. He picked a bad weekend to have a tough go of it. If you remember, Robe wanted to DH him early on because his defense wasn't there yet. I think he got much better defensively, but in big moments, guys press, and those bad habits show up again.

We have a lot to look forward to.

I agree with you. I'm still not fully over last yesterday's losses. But I'm optimistic about next season. We lost the 2013 regional championship and came back in 2014 on a rampage. I see no reason we can't have that same attitude next year with another dominant pitching staff on tap. Gonna miss Carter. And just hope we can grow a little on offense.

Bring on the new stadium and let's make it another National Seed year. I want a Super at the Tigue. It's attainable.

Kennon should be competing for an infield spot next year. If Robbins leaves, we will have some available spots up for grabs. I really hope Robbins stays.

You're right. They were in an exaggerated shift. My mistake.

Agree to disagree. Sensley runs the worst routes to fly balls, is lackadaisical (happened last night), and is very uncertain on first instinct off the bat. His arm is PLUS PLUS, but glove and instinct isn't quite there yet. His bat improved drastically as the year progressed, he became a tough out going deep into counts. No hard feelings toward the kid, just calling a spade a spade. Herrington would've locked down the misplayed fly balls this weekend (Keenon's over run ball in Game 1 and Sensley's miss that his him directly in the mit). This is only two blunders from the weekend. I can name a few other mistakes but I'm over it.

Great season, they fought hard.....tough to swallow when you feel you've punched your ticket to the SR when you crush Zona's face 10-3, then they come back and stick it to ya.

Agree on Herrington.. Who, as I've said here many times, was my favorite player on the team.

Eric was a MAN. Loved having him on the mound. Who's gonna step up and be our long relief stud next year? Maybe Hogan? Or do we give him an opportunity to start? Is it too late in Wyatt's career to move him to the pen? Would love to see him come out the pen with his fire and attitude.

That double Sensley hit in game one was a spark. Arizona just did their job in not letting it spread fire. Same thing with Clement and Robbin's home runs.

Guy was nails, no doubt.

Child abuse. Ginkel is obviously a future draftee.
