Does he have more homerun power than Theriot?

Did it seem as tho him and Hanover had a couple of miscommunications throughout the game?

I can recall 2 or 3 when Hanover took Nola's ball or vice versa.

But overall I was impressed with him.

Austin Nola is just as good as Tyler Hanover.


But hanover is a great hitter, good defender.
Nola is a good hitter, great defender.

They were both going for the ball but if the 3rd baseman can cut it off he's supposed too because it gets to him first.

Yeah, it may be the 3rd time they play together in game. More games will bring better chemistry and they'll know each other tendencies and capabilities.

Position looks bright when DJ leaves after this year!

Nola made a play in the hole for the second out in the 5th that was amazing.

I know the play you are talking about, I wouldn't say amazing, amazing was the CF for southeastern catching that ball, but it was a great play

Theriot liked to hit homeruns that would bounce over the fence.

I'm sure Nola can actually hit them over.

wrong!!

Hanover has to come across and get any ball he can moving toward 2nd base. For one its easier for him b/c he is moving to 1st and Two it is a shorter play.

Nola will be fine.

He hit like 5 HRs while he was at LSU. I think that Nola has more power potential than Hanover or Theriot. You gotta love Hanover's all out approach to the game
