Caraway cannot throw the ball across the infield,(2 errors )Trosky should be in the starting lineup Folks in this board only care about hitting. Until an E hurts us badly. Then the Trosky 2nd guessing will start. Plus the stellar D the guy had some of the biggest ABs in the last 3 weeks. Ok... quick finish/edit between innings... Trosky isn't a dead spot in the order and might be the best infielder. Trent was a .850 (?been a while?) fielder when healthy. And, a better DH choice than either of the 1B. |

I think you bank on time back in the game he gets hot. Trosky is going to be nails on defense no matter so let Caraway get back to speed and if the situation gets hairy Trosky comes in on D. |

I always thought it would've been better to bring Caraway back as a DH too. Although do you sit Macias/Turley so he can DH? Probably not. Hopefully it's just first game back, getting used to playing in the field again issues with the throw across the diamond, but I also agree Guerra should have picked one if not both of those throws. I think Guerra's glove is a bigger question mark than Trent's, we just happen to have a better back-up plan at 3rd than we do at 1st.

Caraway out for 2 months. Surgery. Works his butt off to get back. Gets out of bed and gets 2 hits, 2 runs, RBI, and a stolen base. Makes a great play at 3rd that should have gotten picked by Guerra. Realistically Guerra could have made it a long hop. Then gets a high chopper where he feels he has to rush and throws another easy pick to Guerra. Let’s let the kid get settled. He helped the team win today.

Just looking at it 6 of 8 errors by Caraway this year are on balls not picked by 1B. Got to make the throws but help the kid out at least a little. Jesus put Tanner Smith or Webber over there when they aren’t catching. I bet Caraway could pick his own throws. |

Any decent 1st baseman picks both those balls. 100% this...was right behind 1B tonight and both balls should have been caught...Tulane's 1B picked about 4 similar balls |

Kasper played some 1B his Soph year I think...

Period. Every single one is a routine play. An average 3B makes those throws with regularity. Should you have a 1B that can pick better? Sure. But they shouldn't have to on a regular basis. Trosky 89 chances 3 errors and has made much tougher plays in fielding .966. Trent 37 chances 8 errors in very routine plays, fielding .784. Come on... the kid is talented, but it's not on the 1B. |

Caraway back sure makes the lineup difficult. Wish he could play first base.

It's not either/or.....Caraway has to make better throws, and Guerra needs to have a better glove at 1st. Our defense looked like a high school team last night, and Irvine will make us pay for that slop. |

Kasper played some 1B his Soph year I think... Kasper started three games at first last year and played first in a fourth game. Krieg is the best defensive first baseman that we have but with the worst infield arm. Kasper would probably be an even worse choice at first than Guerra. |
