Shewie confirmed

You think they may convert him to OF in minors?

 

[GAVol]

Might as well issue a press release saying Shewmake is batting 9th Opening Day.

I don’t think he’s a full time OF. Maybe they will let him play all over down there and we see him up soon

To learn LF

 

[zjcvols]

big kudos to Shewmake. Didn’t seem like he had any shot at a job and went out and earned it

 

[zjcvols]

Also horrific job by AA not having a better plan for SS. It’s one thing to leave LF and hope guys with a track record turn it around. But inexcusable we didn’t have a more secure option at SS

He needs to play every day at this stage of his career but I imagine he’s first up for an every day role for any non Mike injury.

I hope it’s 8th because he’s likely to be a near zero offensively starting out and I’d like someone with a pulse to turn it over to the meat of the order

This is why I’d flip Ozzie/Mike 2nd and 9th depending on Right vs left

But the Ronnie/Olson Duo is strong

Bat Ozzie 9th and then have Eddie/Shewmake back to back?

I would prefer they bat 9/1

Ronnie Olson Riley should be stacked. I’d prefer it 2-4 but the priority is them batting consecutively

What I would do and what they’re going to do are two different things .. I’m not sure which you’re asking for. They’re gonna bat Shewmake 9th if he’s the starting SS

Works too

I was asking what you would do. I assume they’re gonna go TDA/Eddie/Oz/Shew

This is irrelevant considering they’ve been hiding a top 5 pick talent on the bench

 

[C/O]

I still anticipate weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I'm expecting an L and hoping for the best. Turnovers will undo this team I think.

 

[zjcvols]

It’s hilarious to me Julio got double what Mike got because one was a top 5 player and the other was a top 100 player even though they are they were the exact same player last year

Bottom line is that they are just way to inconsistent to make a run in a single-elimination tournament.

I've been too negative on them; after the Mizzou regular season loss I said they would only win 1 or 2 of their remaining games and they managed to win 3. But I don't see how they go much further by scoring zero points for 6 minutes at a time.
