Third best is still good enough to start in the outfield. I would play Langeliers, Griffren or Vasquez other than Langeliers she is more consistent with her bat than Griffen and Vasquez. My opinion or just my view her bat doesn't make up for her fielding at SS or third base. I do think Heath, Davis, Mattie/Falterman should be our everyday outfield. If you have to play her in the infield play her at second although Langelier has made some incredible plays and makes it hard to move her. JMO this team is too good not to have an everyday SS. But this is all opinionated answers to the question. My question to you is 1. do you feel she is our best option at ss if not whom do you think and 2. do you feel her bat is the best at our options at ss so she should play there. I ask because you do know more about this team than I do I just see what we put on the field (not being sarcastic really just want your opinion )
Yes, Maddie is the best option at short stop. So, she made an error at short in the App game. Errors happen. At the plate, now that she is in the seventh hole and not the second, her batting average will increase. If you think Alexa should be at ss instead of at second, maybe you didn't see a couple of incredible plays she made at second today.
Finally, you say her bat doesn't make up for her defense. She's hitting .287. Griffen is at .255. Vasquez is at .163. Last year, Maddie hit .369. The only reason she is down this year is because she was hitting second behind Mihyia most of the year. Her job was to advance Mihyia which didn't always mean getting a hit.
1. As of now Maddie is our best option at SS. No way do they move Alexa now. She has played at a gold glove defensive level.
2. Yes Maddie would be the best option. She has more hits, runs, steals, better batting average, better on base percentage and less errors than Alexa, Kylei, or Cissy.
You would play Cissy? She has the lowest batting average and lowest fielding percentage on the team. You did get the outfield regulars correct.
Griffen has only made two errors Maddie has made two errors all I'm saying is she scares me every time the ball is hit to her. I'm not knocking her I would never knock our players. I did state that it would be very hard for me to move Langelier but if she's the best SS on the roster than I would play her there she is by far the most experience SS we have on the collegian level. My concern and maybe no one else cares is that we are too good and too late in the season not to have an everyday SS which is one of the most important positions on the field. JMO
Right now, the best team we can field is the lineup you saw today, with the exception of maybe Piskos at catcher, but I really do like Valdez behind the plate.
Piskos and Campbell are such important leaders on the team, that it is difficult not to have them in the lineup, but position-wise it is hard to fit them in right now, because Credeur is absolutely raking and really can only go at the DP position.
Is it MYadavis or MEEyadavis? The Announcer does not seem to know.
