re: McNeese 0 @ LSU 16 Final

Kade Anderson is looking pretty good. Maybe auditioning for a future Sunday start?

How does a kid from north dakota end up at mcneese?

Kinda in no man’s land to me.. really good mid week dude, almost too good at times. But not good enough right now to dominate SEC caliber talent

Yep, kling is catching on. Neal too. Im not so sure on kucherak. Id rather braswell, but we’ll see if this is temporary

This season Anderson has looked good against the midweek teams and bad against SEC.

That speed!

He was 2-5 vs Vandy with 2 walks. So he hit .400 and had .571 OBP

Both hits were doubles. Kling had a good weekend. I’ve said for a long time that this team needs Kling hitting the ball. He’s too good to be on the bench.

Situation matters. He shouldve been eased in more. Starting him i think would help

I think Jay has had it with the braswell experiment, portal miss

Well, Jay is the one who went after him hard, so it's kinda on him. He is who he is.

But I think Jay was absolutely furious at Braswell's error Thursday that helped turn a 9-0 lead into a 9-6 real quick and made him burn Herring for Friday, which I think Jay thinks we win if Herring comes in for Jump. I'm not sure this is just letting Braswell sit or just getting Kucherak some midweek at-bats. Jay's desperate and is willing to try to unconventional moves.

I'm not sure this isn't a legit tryout for Kuch to get some actual playing time. I'm not saying he's going to take Braswell's job or anything--and that wasn't a great start to his night--but if Kuch finishes 3-4 and makes all the plays at short, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a start in Knoxville.

I've been around coaches like Jay before, and I really don't think he appreciated Braswell's effort against Vandy. I think that's partly just Bras's style of play, always looks loose. Fine if he's playing well, but start messing up and it looks like an effort thing, when it's probably not. But Jay knows he has to push some different buttons, and right now, Bras is low hanging fruit.

But before Lester accuses me of hating Braswell, let me just say I absolutely do not and think he's gonna wind up starting 90% of the rest of our games at short. I'm just trying to get in Jay's head. Jordan Thompson made a million errors the last 2 years, but he never came out of the lineup. Coaches don't like to sit their short-stops. But there was something different about Braswell's mistakes last weekend that seems to have really gotten Jay's goat.
