At first I thought baseball being ranked #11 was crazy.

Then I remembered we have a new pitching coach, and word on the streets is the Adidas bats are in permanent storage.

#11 sounds about right. Let's go win this thing.

I noticed they were using a lot of Louisville Sluggers in the scrimmages, so hopefully you are right about that.

Rumor has it that the player will get to pick his own bat regardless of brand.

I hope we can keep our grip on Howland if this is true.

 

[LandArchDawg]

I like that idea.

Rumor has it that the player will get to pick his own bat regardless of brand.

Rumor also has it that the player will be asked to bunt unless using an Adidas brand.

Awesome! Louisville Sluggers are MUCH better for bunting!**

 

[Bulldogg31]

My two biggest issues last two years were Thompson's inability to determine/develop a consistent rotation and bullpen, and the feeling our hitters were using equipment that didn't suit them.

Will be interesting to see if it makes a difference.

That's how it was this fall at all the practices I attended.

A sick part of me wishes Robson would trot out with an Adidas bat to lead off the season, just to mess with us.

We're dropping the Adidas bats. Not Adidas itself.
