Have you told Jay your plans?



See my quote from JJ about Yorke above. Jay didn't 100% miss on this one, but if he's being honest with you, Yorke hasn't lived up to what Jay thought he was going to be

I posted statistics that didn't fit the narrative and then people quit responding.

I like having Braun in the Lineup but Yorke does just enough that you have to keep him in the lineup. Not to mention a chance to hit one 500' up every time he steps up.

The walks yesterday were impressive. I also believe he was hit by a pitch, but can’t remember. I felt like the strike out was a shitty call inside and up.
There is a liability with him on the bases.

I hope he turned the corner like a lot of other players did this weekend. The lack of quality arms for UK on Sat and Sun was part of it.

This 100% The average baseball fan gets pissed if the big guy doesn't hit a homerun once a game and fails to look at the entire picture. I believe he is in the top 5 in the SEC in cumulative walks drawn.

Yorke has looked good at the plate against mid majors and is getting better with a good eye for strikes against SEC pitchers so far. But his play at first is a serious weakness. Not applying a tag or inability to get to foul balls to mention. So putting someone in that has little experience at first may be a wash and worth trying for the long haul of the season. What would happen if Yorke were to be hurt. There has to be a plan

He must not be ready at first since he isn't even the second first baseman.
Can't remember which one, but either Arambede or Serna started at first one geme and the other caught
