I don't really like that idea. By game four you're really getting deep in your bullpen, and it would get pretty ugly. Today was a game three and it was 10 to 9. Midweek can be frustrating, but I think it's just part of the game.
Watching it in person right behind the dugout and across from Meola, he would have been dead meat. Connover did a great job, got it in really quick with an accurate throw to the relay. Very well played.
He also said make the midweek games JV only
Relay had the ball and runner was maybe 10-15’ down the line.
At this point I think it's just a prompt to get Holliday back on his soap box.
I hope not. I know many here hate them but if we are going to keep the younger players we have to let them see a future here. We need to be disciplined to the ultimate goal to the point that we can play those kids in relatively inconsequential games without losing our nerve. There was a midweek game earlier this year where I think the top three hitters for average sat so others could play. I can see exactly where Deacon, Norman, Bowman, and Ezra will play next year mostly because of those games. I hope they can.
I'd like to slow down and give that the celebration it deserves. Our third, fourth, and fifth hitters went back to back to back to go from down 9-6 to up 10-9 late in the deciding game of a critical series sweep. That's pretty solid.
I think they are still too far away. RPI is showing #31. Maybe if they go 7-0 down the stretch, and get far in the Big 12.
