re: Softball Super Regional Preview Against FSU

Beth would bench Sanchez.

This will not happen and as seen this year production has nothing to do with it. I'm with you, Sanchez will play somewhere no matter what.

quote:

It was crazy how Doyle saw first reps at 3B all fall and spring practice then ended up never playing there.

---

Agree, the overwhelming, undying love and opportunity for Sanchez despite performance has been as strange as the Cunningham deal to me. Especially when we have obviously better options. The insertion of Sanchez and making sure she is in the line up no matter what has changed this team significantly and I don't think in a positive way.

No way Sanchez sits next year. Remember that I'm calling this, she will be the new Quinn for 2018 and 2019.

quote:

I really like Sanchez and want her to start and do well.

---

Therein lies the problem, I want her to do well, too, but it just hasn't happened.

quote:

---

Beth would start her the entire season then sit her down next season.

---

No chance Beth sits her. She will be a 3 year starter.

Change of subject

Suppose Serret is injured or sick and cannot play? Who else practices at shortstop?

---

Haha, can't change the subject because it is all twisted together.

That happened regional week and Sanchez and Jaquish (yes the All American catcher) were moved to SS in front of Dawson. That should tell you everything you need to know about the plans for Dawson.

Not to take away from Dawson at all but I think Doyle really could shine on any position on the infield. She played SS a lot and has seen reps their in practice.

That is funny! I cant imagine either one of those two playing SS

At least Quinn was adequate on offense. Not a superstar by any means but she was never bad.

---

You mean bad this year? Quinn was absolutely awful the last two years. She has had her best year this season by far but she is still never met the team average in hitting or defense. Quinn may bring intangibles but she is at her very best average for us.

quote:

---

sub .250 hitting and sub .920 fielding is completely unacceptable.

---

Apparently it is acceptable because there has been no interest in going another direction. Not only acceptable, but at the expense of much better options that would make this team better.

I still believe these types of decision not only hurt us this season but will hurt us in the next season or two as well.

To be fair, practically everyone looked completely lost and ill prepared at the plate. I hold Dobson accountable there.

Serrett can blast a ball, they just need to clean up a few kinks with her. No reason she shouldn't bat over .300

I always stated she should at minimum put up around 5-10 homeruns easy a year.

We have a lot more power than what Is show cased. We need more homeruns power. Doyle probably will see much better numbers next season. She gets to travel and play for team USA this summer so I expect that to elevate her game as well.
