Happy to be wrong about this one. Still not sure Gil is out slump yet but was great to see Rivera have a couple nice ab's

They both stink at the plate at the moment. One is a freshman though, who I believe is a more natural hitter than rivera.

I'm not all about the wait and see approach. When kids have their chances and don't take advantage of them or make errors/boneheaded plays it's "on to the next guy for me". He isn't swinging a good enough bat right now for me to stick up for him. Outside of his grand slam he has been abysmal at...

I can't get behind this what so ever. Did you see his performance in right defensively this weekend?

Rivera, Gates, Gil are auto outs at the moment until proven otherwise. Need at leasr 1 of them to get back to last season form. My money is on Gates. Gil is a disaster and so is Rivera IMO

That bottom of the order is a black hole at the moment.

You're right and I agree I love the stolen base as well. I still would be trying more late in games than I have seen so far. But we have been burned quite a few times this season by not only bad jumps but balls in the dirt that the catcher makes a tremendous play on.

What's your thoughts on lack of aggression on base paths? Obvious stealing situations with our plus speed guys and we still aren't even attempting to steal a bag?

I pray it isn't fluky because we need all the production we can get with this lineup. He hasn't struck out much at all and he sprays the ball all over the place so I have really high hopes that he stays consistent

What about Tuero? He looks like he can run a little bit. Funny thing is both of those guys got on late in games with 1 out and didn't try and steal a bag. I would rather us be aggressive late in games and at least try and get the runner to 2nd.

Let's discuss the lack of aggression on base paths. I'm talking about one of the least aggressive team I have ever seen in college baseball on the base paths. Why in obvious steal situations when he have nothing to lose are we not trying to swipe bags? Multiple times this weekend we needed...

Bun I am extremely worried about this club. Dimare stinks beyond belief

Tuero & Jenkins are by far the best lead off hitters on the roster. They are the only ones thus far that have proven to be able to get hits off lazy grounders, soft fly balls. They find ways to get on base. They both have to move up in lineup. I don't want to see Quinones get another chance at...

He doesn't look the same. Maury that is.

As always completely agree on Slade. Gil is starting to hit the ball hard to right field. I think he is about to get going. We need to address the black hole we have in middle of lineup at the moment with Rivera and Gates. Thomas & Tuero have looked great at the plate. Especially Tuero The...

Bun what did you think of performance this weekend?

Considering that Gates and Rivera can't buy a hit at the moment. I figured one of their spots were being taken by Thomas. Also Thomas made a great play in right yesterday.

I can get behind this. No love for Thomas though?

WAYYY TO MANNYY STRIKEOUTS LOOKING through first couple of weeks. These kids are getting absolutely fooled by sub par pitching. Not a good sign thus far. Somebody has to produce between rivera and gates. Both of them are automatic outs right now. Tuero & Thomas have proved they belong in the...

I like Thomas in 2 hole but I'm surprised by the decision. I believe we are a a more complete team if Tuero is in 2 hole. Considering not one kid on the team can steal a bag and taking into consideration what an absolute monster hitter Del Castillo is. I want to see small ball implemented at...
