I like the new bats. I think Mainieri went too far in reacting to the new bats.


Most coaches in the NCAA felt the same way he did.



I agree that most coaches objected to the bat change, but I don't think most started bunting the 2 hole hitter in the first inning when the leadoff man reached base.

This.

Everybody played w/ the same bats...but not all coaches let the new bats get inside their heads the way CPM did.

I think most coaches went way to far with this. Alabama's lineup had plenty of guys that struggled hitting for average, much less power. Yet one of our best hitting (for average) Brock Bennett, who hit 2nd, was going to bunt every time Taylor Dugas lead off the inning getting on base. Drove me insane. Think he finished with something like 21 SAC bunts on the year.

Ray Tanner often does the same with Scott Wingo, one of their better hitters. Why take the bat out of one of your better hitter's hands?
