I am on the Crews Bandwagon and just impressed. first freshman I have seen live up to the hype
morgan is right behind him. neither look or act like freshman with the amount of confidence they hold.

If he didn’t want to play college ball for 3 years he wouldn’t have pulled his name from the draft last year. He would have been drafted in the 5 round draft.

Our new guys are outperforming the vets on this club, for the most part.

Crews is as good as advertised and Morgan seems to always find the sweet spot of the barrel.

Jordan Thompson reminds me a lot of Kramer Robertson (who, in case you didn't know, is Kim Mulkey's son). He and Arnold can hopefully lock down the left side.

I want to see more of Coleman going forward. He really looked good and if he continues then we may be looking at a lefty weekend starter next season. Weird, I know.

We've got to find a way to get Drost more ABs. I know Dugas hit a monster GS last night, but if he can't get more consistent, then maybe that's a spot to consider.

Going to be an interesting season for sure.

Blake Money looked good.



I just get the sense he is going to come up big for us in a crucial moment. Dude has a swagger to him.

Yup, they all looked really good. Really excited going forward.

Don’t know how many years Crews has (2 or 3)..but this kid has as much of an
“It” factor as any player (especially freshman) I’ve seen.


Crews looks more MLBy than Bregman did 2 games in.

Only because he never got any mound time as the only stud lefty in the program.

JTs game has actually zero resemblance to Kramers game.

Agreed, but his physical appearance is very similar

I don't know the difference between a short hop, in-between hop, or candy hop.

And I don't know who Ozzie Smith is.

Did you forget that I don't know anything about baseball?

Crap. Didn’t realize you as same poster from the hops discussion. I’m not trying to pile on.

For the record, I generally respond to the content of posts without regard for the author.

I was fortunate enough to see him pitch during fall ball. So sad we never used him regularly on a team with no available lefties.

I think the specifics are obvious as to who were the bright spots, but what has stood out to me is the versatility and depth of position players. We have a whole lot of pretty solid options at every position on the field. Alot of inexperience, but a lot of talented depth.
