    Good gosh…the Michigan State game is truly a throwaway. The result does not matter, so yes, hold Grinsell for Friday.

     

    Start freshmen against Michigan State, and no valued relievers?  
     

    This is one of the few advantage of being the #1 seed, I guess, is knowing what you have to do to win and being able to get some backup pitches some tournament experience while starters get some extra days of rest going into the post season.

  2. Time for Sanford to get back in the rotation, if not injured,  and build some confidence, we're going to need him in the tournament. He doesn't need to go for a lot of innings but could be a good starter or mid relief guy that goes for 3 innings.

     

    Pitching had been our weakness in past tournaments and 1 or 2 pitchers need to step up to make a deep run. Can't always put it on the offense.

  3. Now that was an excellent weekend of baseball! Super excited for this team to go out and be able to adapt to the game. They played small ball when needed and then they went on a huge run of consistent batting to mass a 13-1 pummeling in game 2. Followed by another pitching duel in game 3. 

     

    The Ducks held the Beavs to 5 runs in 3 games while they racked up 20 runs. This is a testament to some excellent pitching, feilding, batting and base running, played 3 complete game with few to little errors. 

     

    Can't forget to mention the coaching. The biggest difference in the 2 close games was game strategy and the manufacturing points off of minimal hints with minimal base runners.

     

    Every part of this team was firing on all cylinders this weekend. Now go out there and do the same on Tuesday.

    Let's be honest about the fact that guys like Mel Tucker, Jimbo Fisher, Willie Taggart, Lane Kiffin and Brian Kelly have been mercenaries that have no loyalty to anything but their bank account. As a fan of the free market I applaud them. You're worth as much as somebody will pay you. But don't act like it's any better for a coach to do this than a player. Contracts are pointless.

    Many of those coaches got absolutely rotated by their former team, just read all the post about Cristobal on this forum. How many of these coaches sat out the first spring practice?

     

    I think there's a line that he crossed and he is feeling the brunt of being the first high profile college player to do it. The team had already said no and he made a big public show of it by holding out of the spring game and their are consequences in college and the NFL when you try the hold out move.

     

    Had he just said I guess it's not going to work out and declared that he was opting out before the first practice his image would have been in much better shape on par with the coaches that are hated by their former team. Making it extremely public made it so the national media picked it up and there's little sympathy for the 20-year-old making 2.4 million a year that really hasn't proved anything yet. This generally works the same way in the NFL and his agents should have known this.

  5. Sounds like it was a great game. Wish I could have watched it but I was a little busy coaching my kids baseball team, at least it was a good trade-off.

     

    If any of you are ever in a need of a good volunteering opportunity, coaching or being an assistant coach on a little guy, baseball team is quite rewarding and is needed and greatly appreciated by all the parents.

     

    Thanks Charles for all your updates!
