Can't win with this line-up

Post by Dorewithaflare »

We have no third baseman,we are trying to give a guy at 1B playing time that no chance of doing the job. These is not a pitcher out there that you could say --now this guy can get it done. This team even with an out standing freshman class has done better than their talent. So go ahead and give the ball to your Knoxville junior an get it over with.

Yeah, it sucks that this lineup lost at Clemson last weekend. Oh, wait a minute ...

Yeah, we're just playing an unranked team we've already beaten three times this year, not one of the Top 16 seeds.

Also, we won series against two Top 10 teams (Georgia, Ole Miss) after losing the opening game, so we know how to win games two and three to win a three-game series.

Stellar grammar bud. You sound like just the guy I'd love to sit down and watch a game with. Nope. Go away.

I know Corbin wants Infante to break out of it, but it's just killing us- has all year. His defense has kept him in the lineup, but even that let us down last night. You can't have a guy strike out 3/4 times a game when guys are on in front of him....I really don't know if we have an option, however, and it seems as if every time we tried to give somebody else a shot, they couldn't make a play on a throw in the dirt or something like that.

Infante had no business playing where did in that situation and when he leads off an inning it kills us.

With Mississippi State starting a righty, it will be interesting to see if Duvall is in the starting lineup today.

Why can’t Duval play 3rd? Or even play lf and move Demarco to 3rd
