3/26/24 Game 25: FIU 6pm ESPN+

Way to get it done. Felt good that we finally took care of business in a midweek.

Could also be the wiring needed to set it up for the umpires to look. If I remember correctly, it was about $15K that Morris refused to spend.

Trust me. FIU doesnt have the money to spend $10k+ on baseball wiring.

Was looking rough for a min, but per the m.o of the season, we came through late.

Didn't get to listen - how many runs would we have scored realistically had FIU not kicked the ball around (which apparently we did as well)?

And it looks like Long had another nice game at the plate - that would be huge if he can jump start the bottom of the order w his defensive run saving ability.

You couldn't play worse in all aspects of the game besides hitting than FIU dud tonight

Urso vs Jimenez’s continues to be a battle of incompetence.

Hot takes:

OF is now set with the emergence of Cyr in LF and Long with big hits the last 2 games.
Now that he's back Perez will catch most nights with Scanlon as DH.
Crowther has proven capable of retaining the midweek role for the moment.
Urso is somehow the better option at SS with his knack for getting on base.
Carrier could continue getting a spot start at DH but should be out of chances.

Not so sure about Perez assuming the catching position.
Kulikowski needs at bats. Carrier with his 38% strikeout rate doesn't warrant a starting role.
When was the last time we had such bad SS play? Urso gives us a better bat right now. I was surprised to see Fernandez even make the travel roster last week.
I have started my Clemson prep already.

Mostly agree but would only let Perez C vs LHP, i.e. Scanlon vs RHP w Kulikowski at DH. And nobody's proven they should be mid-week starter yet IMO.

Carrier is striking out at a 40% clip - he's had more than enough chances and hasn't gotten it done. High ceiling, but he's running out of time to break through as you mentioned.
