Poole batting third
- Thread starter DreadNought.sixpack
- Start date
Struggling mightily at the plate so far - two strike-outs swinging. Didn't make contact either AB.
Two strikeouts so far. I don't see how he plays in front of Vansau, McNamee and others. Sad to say but he is an automatic out.
I'm convinced Coach Can just loves to watch him strikeout. He has nooooooo chance at the plate. I'm a big fan of Coach Can but he's just wrong on playing Poole and I don't care if he's a college coach and I'm a regular Joe.
If y'all can't see that and think Coach knows something we don't then your wrong just like him and your going to constantly watch him be bad at the plate. This isn't Juco anymore.

Well you guys know I am not one to criticize players or coaches but he just has bad mechanics.
I had a kid I coached in 12 year old ball. His name was Junior. Great kid with a super attitude. But he didn't start playing baseball until he was 11. Had a terrible swing. I worked with him on the Tee, soft tossing, etc... just couldn't get that swing out of him. Anyway, the kid struck out nearly every time he batted but twice. We only had 10 players so he had to play and bat. So this one time, his upper cut swing caught a pitch flush. And I mean flush! The ball landed in the trees about 280 feet away. His only other hit all season hit the fence in the air and never got 10 feet off the ground. I say all that to say, apparently, Poole is Cannizaro's Junior. He is just waiting for that little league swing to put one in the pine trees beyond the LFL(where of course I grilled hot dogs back in 1970).

UPDATE!!!
Hunter Vansau replaces Poole in RF to start the 5th inning.
We may have seen the last of Poole until he stops trying to pull those sliders.

So Mangum is down from .406 two weeks ago to .357 and Rooker is down from .450 After Friday night to .423 so far tonight and both are 0-3. Did we recruit this pitcher Trimble for USA?***
So we replaced Poole with Vansau in Right Field, but we replaced Brown with h Blaylock in Left. Is that like Cannizaro sticking a finger in the fans eyes? 
What's the point? If you make him mad, we'll lose on purpose? I don't like this at all. We aren't a team that's really good... we have to compete with all we have for 9 innings. This is garbage
I feel like we just completely gave up on this game while down 3-0. We are batting pitchers and pitching outfielders. What good is resting our starters for 3 innings in a mid week game going to do for the weekend?
Also this: I'll be OK if Poole doesn't take another swing this season.
