The problem is that routine plays kill us in very close games.Ya, honestly, pitching and defense have not been the problem. Score 8 runs in 5 games, run youself into outs and you lose 4/5 (if not all 5) every time at the college level.
I hear ya, and I consider bad base-running as a big part of the lack of run production.The problem is that routine plays kill us in very close games.
When you have bad at bats you can't take it onto the field.
The hitting has been atrocious these last weeks, but the fielding and base running have been just as bad.
I'm guessing Torres isn't playable at third?I hear ya, and I consider bad base-running as a big part of the lack of run production.
Let's hope Cuvet isn't taking his slump to the field w him, but it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe DH him until he breaks out of the slump, but I am not sure who you put at third.
He looked Ok there the few times last year, but then who plays 1st? That's a lot of the problem w this team ... not enough depth or utility players/athletic baseball players. At least Cyr tried to help w his move to the OF.I'm guessing Torres isn't playable at third?
Well I think if you switched Torres to third you probably play Cuvet at first. That is sadly true.He looked Ok there the few times last year, but then who plays 1st? That's a lot of the problem w this team ... not enough depth or utility players/athletic baseball players. At least Cyr tried to help w his move to the OF.
Torres can play third. He also played some 1st in high school and that opened up third for Cuvet.He looked Ok there the few times last year, but then who plays 1st? That's a lot of the problem w this team ... not enough depth or utility players/athletic baseball players. At least Cyr tried to help w his move to the OF.

Bad fielding has been plaguing the Hurricanes for years:I hear ya, and I consider bad base-running as a big part of the lack of run production.
