First and foremost, I would love for the other plugged in posters to post here. Just not much baseball talk after that beatdown on Sunday. I'm also not planning on doing this every week.
Anyway, here are some thoughts from the weekend.
The Good- The bats did a lot of work with 0 Homeruns. Listi, Paino, Jarrell, Cam, and Fingers crossed Purify played well. Hope to see more Crighton and Ciufo did the job. Bissetta needs to hit better or he will be left behind. But Gaffney needs better plate apperances but at least drew a couple of walks. I'd like to see more Priest in the lineup.
The Bad - Pitching... Knaak started hot and then burned out fast. Darden is either good or bad and fortunately he was great. More McGovern? Should they see about making him a starter? Can he handle starting and increased volume? Garris, Dvorsky, Mahlstedt looked good in relief. So did Allen and Bailey in limited work. Titsworth was fine.
The Ugly - McGladdie- I thought he has a few bright moments LAST year and seemed to be doing well in camp but boy did he have the worst weekend outside of Leguernic and Fitz. The only one with an error + other bad throws to go along with some bad plate appearances. Also, I know that one weekend of batting stats is too small a sample size but he just didn't help Clemson at that tournament. Leguernic and Fitzgerald just an awful start. Hopefully they can turn things around but not great.
Starters should be
1B- Gaffney but needs to get that .154 up in a hurry.
2B- Purify
3B- Paino
SS- Ciufo
C- Jarrell
LF- Listi
CF- Cam
RF- Crighton
DH- Priest
Friday - Knaak
Saturday - Darden
Sunday - ???
Relief- Garris, Dvorsky, McGovern, Titsworth, Mahlstedt, Allen in no particular order.
