Need some help

_ Better facilities means better players. _

That isn't always the case...more money into recruiting budgets would get better players not necessarily better facilities.

Better facilities is as important for baseball, as any other college sport. Take a look at the improvements other programs have made since our trip to the World Series in 2000. This is not the only reason we have some concerns, but it certainly is a major reason.

But facilities alone won't recruit players is what I mean. It helps but unless you have the money to go out and find the players do the facilities really help that much?

I have a mixed feeling about that issue. While our facility is not a dump, the bottom line is winning. Some say facilities bring kids, but so does winning. We are a mid major that has a better than average facility. Take a powerhouse like Miami. There facility was small and not anywhere close (imo) to what ours is until A-rod dumped a ton of money into it. For a while we did one major upgrade to our field every year, but over the past 2 or 3 we havent done anyhting major. When you go into a home of a student athlete, and tell them we have made a regional for the past 10 or 15 years, that matters. They want to win, and winning brings exposure to them which in turn raises there draft status....which is what they are ALL looking for

_ You are TOTALLY correct!. If we had played this weekend's two games in a prettier ball park, we surely would have won. It would have helped us hit better for sure!! _

We did hit much better in that prettier ball park last week at Alex Box Stadium!

_ Chad Keefer is our best hitter by far. Our best lineup is probably as follows

1. Fontenot SS
2. Whipple LF
3. Keefer 3B
4. Hawkins 1B
5. Griffen C
6. Benzel DH
7. Smith RF
8. Olasin CF
9. Bostick 2B _

I the players you have listed, but I would have Fontenot hitting 9th and Olasin leading off. Also Hawkins is a liability at 1st base. I would put Benzel at 1st and let Hawkins DH. Fuslier, Bowman, and Harst should be our top 3 replacements. Hicks should never play again.

There is no single lineup. The lineup will and should vary depending on whether it is a lefty or righty on the mound ... as well as the arsenal of the given pitcher.

We've (once again) reached the perfect storm of athletic aggravation. The skies have darkened...

I'm just waiting for a press conference...
