Poirrier is a liability everywhere except the plate. He doesn't play focused. He makes constant mental errors, and doesn't look fluid at 2nd at all. I was the first to advocate sitting Bostick, but I strongly retract that statement. Poirrier has GOT to be taken off the field.
So far, the trends of this Baseball team have taught us this:
If we don't pitch lights out everytime out, we don't really have a chance to win.
We're averaging 3 errors per game, and 2 unearned runs a game. Can't win like that. Also, Tyler Frederick needs to get more playing time. With the naked eye, he looks like a traditional ball player. He plays hard, he looks competent at the plate, and his defense is better than most of our starters. It seems like the only consistent hitters in this lineup are Jordan and Fuse. Everyone else is streaky or inconsistent. No one in that lineup scares you (even Poirrier because he's a strikeout waiting to happen the other 6 times he's making outs - .380 something avg). Geith has been average against good teams, which can still improve. Hopefully, with some experience, he can pull himself back up to the early Sunday starts.
The good news is a handful of our young players look solid at this point. Fuse is coming on, and when the freshmen are getting chances, they at least past the eye test.
I'm still sick to my stomach thinking about the bases loaded on Sunday and 2 batters watching 3 strikes pass them by. I'm so sick of this team not competing at the plate. Something is not right in Lafayette concerning baseball guys..
