Virginia Commonwealth (Forest City, NC @ McNair Field)

Has Luke been given the green light to play again?

This is how baseball works

you get regular at bats, you find out what kind of player you got:

Number 1 - Prater -- Getting garbage at bats and was hitting around .200 -- regular at bats equals close to .300
Number 2 - Wilder -- been getting garbage bats in the 9th -- in lineup to see regular at bats -- 2 hits today
Number 3 - Parks -- was batting below .100 -- in the lineup, he is up in the .150s

Make you wonder doesn't it? 

Yes we got players batting around .200 or below that have gotten regular at bats and maybe this was not their years.  They still in the lineup.  
Yes we got other players that leash has been too short and they lucky to get an at bat until today like Wilder

Next if you keep making errors, you probably not in the right position.  We can't say names when we talk bad, so I won't.  

Don't know what you call it, but it if it looks like it and smells like it, it probably is.

I hope the Coach will learn from this year.  If it's broke, you need to fix it.  You have those backups for a reason which is to come in one someone isn't doing good and to make for competition.  I don't know because I'm not at practice, but I bet ain't no competing for playing time.  If you don't compete in practice, how can you compete game time.

Will-I-Am



 

This is what Mr. Roland has been saying for most of this season. If you are hitting below 200 & have been in the lineup for almost the entire season, it is time to take a seat on the bench & let the newcomers have a shot at playing. For most of this season we have had 3 players starting just about every game & should have been sharing playing time with the newcomers on the team. The more I watch the newcomers play, the more I agree with Mr. Roland. Coach Mo did not take advantage of the talent on the team & therefore played politics with some of the players. For whatever reason, Coach Mo did not put the best nine on the field for most of the season.
