Heck of a play.

 

[patdog]

I'd never heard of this kid 2 weeks ago. He may be my favorite player now.

Not sure I've ever seen such a ninja move at such a high rate of speed. Changes the whole game if he gets tagged out there.

 

[Bill Shankly]

That was THE play of the game. WOW!

 

[Bill Shankly]

My understanding is he is second generation MSU on both sides. Love seeing that!

 

[WilCoDawg]

He’s a twin with older twin sisters. His parents hit the lottery.***
He’s considered a senior which sucks. Hopefully he can garner an extra year since he spent 3yrs at NWCC.

Playing hard and giving up his body.

I’ll take that any day.

Absolutely, especially since it was a super risky move to send him there with no outs. Anybody else on the team and it’s probably an out and a big momentum killer that I’m not sure we would’ve overcome.

Agreed. Never seen a play at home like that one. Absolute athletic play.

 

[MeridianDog]

Incredible player. Happy to see him play. One thing for certain. He puts everything into the effort he gives.

Good MSU Representative.

According to hailstate.com he’s a sophomore eligibility-wise. Maybe a senior academically.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

Can he play 2nd base ??

 

[She Mate Me]

He just moves like an incredible athlete. I really hope he can hit well enough to stay in the lineup, because his ceiling is very high.

 

[The Peeper]

I sit in LF and every inning he trots out he has a big smile on his face, he interacts w/ fans, gets a bite fo eat occasionally and genuinely seems to be having a blast

That’s an awesome clip..

One of my all time favorite Diamond Dogs is Luis Pollorena. He'd do anything for his club. Skinner reminds me of him that regard.

I’ll never forget Cohen using Pollo as a pinch hitter against LSU in bottom of the ninth in Hoover and thinking he had lost his dang mind. And then Pollo ties the game on a sac fly and we win in extras. I seem to remember him scoring a walk off run as a pinch runner a time or two, as well. Just a great Bulldog.

I feel like one of those was in the Supers at UVA. Or maybe his at bat just tied it up or got us the lead.

my sentiments exactly. I hope Skinner gets that hammy all healed up, maybe he can play first some while working on it....just a thought. I’d trust Skinner doing anything, much like Pollo, if we could get his bat back in the lineup....DH or first sounds good to me for a while until he’s ready, of course I wouldn’t want him replacing Luke at DH so first it is....Skinner and Leggett would be much better on the right side if you ask me, taking their bats into account. And I’d tell Skinner not to hit it on the ground...
