Shriner's College Showdown Weekend Thread
We’ll see what happens as more new players enter the program, but it just feels like part of the Tulo hitting approach is sacrificing some swing and miss for power and putting the ball in gaps. Been that way all 4 years he has been the hitting coach. The lack of walks this weekend is going to drive Schloss crazy. That is one of the things his A&M teams lived on.

The new trend is hitting your best all-around guy second in the order, right? Conventional wisdom says you want them to get as many AB’s as possible. I wonder if Belyeu could end up there at some point this year. The small ball game under Augie and to a lesser extent under Pierce meant we usually had a guy who could bunt and handle the bat well in the 2 spot.

He wants a high OBP guy up there with some pop. He had Grahovac lead off for A&M much of last year. The only other options that make sense are Mendoza (13 walks all last season), Winfield (strikeout prone) and Rodriguez (freshman). I guess maybe Farmer too but small sample size. Rodriguez seems like an obvious choice once he has some more AB’s under him if he shows he can handle it and cut down on the swing and miss.

Listening to what Schloss said pregame and postgame on the radio and you can tell he is not thrilled that he inherited this tournament on the schedule. Said Texas isn’t afraid to play anyone but we should always be opening at home in basically a tuneup series and that “we’ll see what he is talking about after this first year in the SEC”. Then said after the game that we “didn’t open with some team up north who hasn’t been outside in months.” He definitely doesn’t sugarcoat much.

I guess I shouldn’t talk too much because our schedule would probably look similar if we weren’t committed to some of these non-con tournaments before Schloss took over. Will be interesting to see when the metrics come out but my guess is we will end up playing one of the 3 toughest non-con slates in the league. Our only layup is Dartmouth while most other teams have 3 layups and 1 semi-tough weekend.
