re: Softball game 3: #11LSU 2 VS #22Ole Miss 3 Final

True i forgot about Vidales

So Sanchez is out at third probably. Why not put Nicky on third? If her arm is strong enough why limit her to second base?

Doyle or Jaquish needs to start at 3rd.

100% agree.

Well if Nicky has the arm for it why cant she do something other than second base?

She's a great athlete she probably can but I said Doyle because she looked good playing there the other day.

Doyle looks great at third

Give me an example?

From last week:

quote:

These line ups have become a joke. We have four starters hitting below .200 in SEC play.

---

But coaching 101 tells you Springfield has to be playing even though she's hitting .063 in SEC play.

quote:

---

Same old tired line up

---

This was from a game where Doyle and Springfield started by the way.

quote:

---

Earth to staff: Be creative and make some changes.

You post something similar after every game despite changes being made. Wake me up when we finally attain your lineup Nirvana because so far you've poopoo'd half of all 10,000 available combinations.

I believe the staff bought in to the notion that she is somehow a great athlete that didn't know how to play or the old "she is not from Cali so she must not be very good" stuff. Perception is sometime reality.

Do you still believe this by the way? It's back from when everyone of your post was Dawson related. Surely Doyle would still be parked at cleanup.

So tired of reading this bullshite!

Simple line up

Andrews IF
Landry RF
Doyle 3B
Jaquish C
Quinn 2B
Griggs CF
Serett SS
Springfield 1B
Dawson DP

Now this lineup is only good for about then next 15 games. As I believe and have said many times Andrews and Dawson's success is a small sampling and I am still not sure once the word gets out on them, but for now, they definitely belong in the lineup.

Andrews was needed at leadoff as Griggs is not a lead off hitter. However, since she has moved her average has gone down each game. Her defense is suspect because of Her arm. She covers ground, but is scary as hell when she throws it.

Landry what can you say about a kid that is leading the country in hitting Defense is well above average 2 errors last year and this year

Doyle future star in the making. Let her take her lumps, she will be one of the best hitters to wear the uniform. Signed as a 3rd baseman and everyone you talk to will tell you she is unbelievable over there

Jaquish Like to see her swing more, she seems a little selfish with walks, we need her to swing and strike fear in the other team. Her catching is the best we have. Satchel cannot catch nor can Cunningham, so this is her spot for rest of year

Quinn Has done a great job this year. Emotional leader, has out performed all expectations. Her defensive game is better, but she still gets to first on bunts way too late and the same on dbl play balls she is late getting to second

Griggs Needs to stand and hit. To slow to slap and was horrible lead off. Was told tonight she was one of the best hitters on Jr.USA team, but they said she never slapped. Her defense is above average and has a very accurate arm and quick release 0 errors

Serett her swing is a mess and needs a lot of help. I don't think we have the coaching staff to help her. But she has lightning fast hands. She should be able to hit. Her defense makes her someone that cant come off the field mayne the best defensive SS in the conf.

Springfield This kid has ton of power. However, with the swing she is being taught, she will never ever see her potential. Again, she needs a hitting coach. She plays a very good defensive 1B and she is our best option

Dawson right now she definitely deserves this spot. She plays hard and can make defenses make mistakes. She needs to be at 9 for her speed. However, I still think she is an out when the word gets out on her. However, right now she is proving that she deserves to hit. As for her defense, I just dont know where to put her. She just isn't better than ANYONE on the field defensively.

Sanchez. Average defender and subaverage hitter. Not sure why the staff seems to love this kid

Thornhill. Just not the caliber of talent that needs to play everyday. She is a good bench depth type person that can play multiple positions. Just not a starter in the SEC

Satchel. Another probably nice kid, but another kid like Thornhill. Just doesnt come close to having the talent to play in the SEC

Goursich. I dont think she can pitch at this level. Not the same caliber of a pitcher as Smith,Walljasper,Or Hoover. Hope she can hit.

Thymes,Cunningham,Savoie,and Wienberger. Seeem like happy role players. Can't see anything else with them.

Now go ahead and tell me how off base I am

I agree she shouldn't be starting at all right now, but I have watched Sanchez for years. She played internationally, she has a lot more power than people even realize. I watched her play along with Jaquish and both were blasting balls over the fences all summer. I just think her hitting mechanics have completely regressed and have failed her this year.

I think we can all agree on who the 9 players should be. The order is debatable but its not going to matter until the other things get fixed. Springfield really can hit a ball but her mechanics have gone backwards and her swing just won't work at this level.

Quite simply if part of your magic bullet is inserting the production of Doyle and Springfield, you probably shouldn't be complaining so much about what plays regularly. That goes for anybody, not just you. It's pretty obvious we're picking among a multitude of bad options right now yet people are acting like we've got Ruth, Gehrig, and Mantle wasting away on the pine.
