Last year I was very sad that our young shortstop that did so well but got benched transfered. I am starting to see a trend where young kids play and do well only to be benched in favor of a less effective player. I would not be surpised to see some of our freshmen transfer after this year thinking that no matter what they do they will not play. I have no idea who Tucker is sleeping with but for him to stay in the lineup and Rupp and Keys to sit makes no sense. Why does Buckner not get a chance to field. We have players on the bench that deserve a chance.
 
What? Tucker is the only one who looks like he should be at the position he is playing, except catcher, and center field.
 
What's up with Torres? Hate to call him out, but he was error-ridden in the infield and didnt seem to make the plays that longer, more traditional outfielders like Keyes (or Lusson, Kyle or Jordan) might make.

Is his bat that great? Why not Keyes? He's a nice long OF like we're used to and everyone raves about his bat. Don't see him with multiple E's.

If not, seems we should put that in the Kyle Walker experiment bin.

HOOKEM
 
Any time I doubt Augie he proves me wrong. Each time he has made me more of a believer in him. This team (defense, pitching, and hitting) has really dug a hole for themselves and I truly hope he can work his thing to get them back on track.
 
Augie is the reason that we've had such great teams. Lot's of talent doesn't always mean lots of wins. Somehow these boys have got to take control of these issues and come together as a team.
 
Cramming Torres into the outfield makes no sense to me. Hopefully it doesn't make sense to Augie anymore now.
 
I don't think anyone is "slamming" the players, at least not in a personal manner. Just talking about their incredibly poor play on the field.
