I am very impressed with Forrestsr . That guy swings a mean bat and doesn't miss a pitch - fast ball, curve , slider , inside, outside, high, low ...Just goes with the pitch and hits to all fiields ! Imagine what next year will be like with more of Canham’s type.

So Abel has to lose Friday nights after this right? Nope

so the first 4 hits Abel gives up is a toejam cycle? we hit 2-27 (.074) as a team and score 5 runs, all unearned?
for a change it IS better to receive than give!

He can do that....but he has to do it every outing, and its catching up to him. When we face the other teams ace, runs are typically at a premium. Abel in current form is too inconsistent. He looks more like a Sunday guy, imo. We got lucky tonight because USC left Esqueveda in too long.....no way he shouldve faced Claunch.

I think he's the best hitter on the team. For all the reasons you mentioned, and his takes....he rarely swings at bad pitches. Just a really solid approach.

Where was Meckler tonight? Canham loaded up the lineup with righties tonight against USC’s lefty starter. Hit some balls hard, but right at people. I expect we see Meckler tomorrow.

How do you beat the nickname Donkey? Donkey is a hitter, just that simple. Note he does play a decent 1st Base.

Donkey can definitely play ball . He is great at first base - even though he may be just a tad slow, ranging to his right. Still way too valuable to DH though ! He needs as many AB's with men on base as we can get him! A one - two punch with Melton would be a defense's worst nightmare ! Go Beavers !

My take is this win cancelled out the Friday loss to UCLA where we squandered a lead in the ninth. We were outhit and their starting pitcher was keeping our guys quiet til they left him in too long. Funny game sometimes.....we get 5 runs on 2 hits....albeit the four errors by USC allowed us to get the W. We’ve had our share of tough losses so this helps take some of sting away

imo, Meckler is an everyday guy in this lineup. I think he's done more than enough to prove that.
