It's an issue getting into post season play.All of our pitchers, in a game like this, should be hyper-focused on the strike zone. Dare EKU to hit the ball.
I think he will be in the infield, either second or 3rd.Smith will be on the field starting next season...somewhere.
I'm also hearing good things on this next class,especially the pitchers.not to mention any freshman recruits.
I've seen Anderson play some 1st base in the scrimmages. Beard could end up at 3rd,the middle anchored by Knap and Smith,while Wescott and Anderson slug it out at 1st base. Of course,Beard could end up in the outfield too.I think he will be in the infield, either second or 3rd.
Hopefully at SS....mover Nap to 2nd. Add in Anderson and Reid and you have one heck of an infield.Smith will be on the field starting next season...somewhere.
We have Hawkins, King and Humphrey and I forgot Benson is listed as an OF. I can’t see moving Beard to OF as he is not a speedster as evidenced by his lack of stolen bases.I've seen Anderson play some 1st base in the scrimmages.

Yeah I was just thinking out loud. I don't think lack of speed would be a factor as we see with Masterman in left.We have Hawkins, King and Humphrey and I forgot Benson is listed as an OF. I can’t see moving Beard to OF as he is not a speedster as evidenced by his lack of stolen bases.
Beard also doesn’t have the power that Masterman has either..Yeah I was just thinking out loud. I don't think lack of speed would be a factor as we see with Masterman in left.
Ok, I’ll bite. What does power have to do with playing OF?Beard also doesn’t have the power that Masterman has either..
Bianco needs to get some hits this weekend!Metzinger had a helluva game last night. Didn't want it to go unnoticed. Two top 10 type plays in the first couple innings that really extinguished any early momentum by Eastern and a 3 for 4 night at the plate.
It's that time of the year and he seems to get going at this time.
Hope to see it continue this weekend and see a couple other guys really get themselves going. Rushing really is dialed in too.
I've talked quite a bit about the veterans on this team leading this team into this post season. I was having a little bit of of a pep talk with Masterman and him before the game last night,primarily because I didn't want to see EKU come in here and screw up a lot of hard work and success this team has shown since last year but also because if those two guys get hot,it puts the offense in another category.Bianco needs to get some hits this weekend!
That’s why Masterman played the OF because you needed his bat. You can’t DH him because of the situation with Rushing/Payton/Bianco. He also turned out to be an adequate OF. Otherwise you may have seen Hawkins in there.Ok, I’ll bite. What does power have to do with playing OF?
Kind of what I was getting at. If we're talking about having the strongest middle,maybe there has to be a different spot for Beard. Maybe he's just full time designated hitter,Idk.It certainly appears the options of Knap, Beard, Smith, Anderson provide a wild array of opportunities.
Agreed. I would love to see Westcott at first; but, I could see Anderson there is Westcott isn’t hitting as well. I wouldn’t mind seeing Beard at 3B, Knap at 2B and Smith at SS.Kind of what I was getting at. If we're talking about having the strongest middle,maybe there has to be a different spot for Beard.

I don't think Smith will be riding the pine next year. If so,he probably won't be here.
