I think losing Donahue had more of an impact in the CWS than losing Heimlich did. Just my opinion. Wait... You think a meh left fielder who was only batting an empty .258 and wasn't even a full time starter was a more important loss than the best pitcher in college baseball who most outings provided a guaranteed win with even a single run from the offense??? Wow. OK... BTW, did they ever say what the team rule was that Donahue broke? Must have been pretty bad missing the entire CWS is a pretty stiff penalty. He is playing in the cubs organization now, A ball, still bopping a long as an utility guy with an empty 250ish average, looks like he is striking out a ton as well... i think the rule he broke had to do with weed....or was that just a rumor? |

I think losing Donahue had more of an impact in the CWS than losing Heimlich did. Just my opinion. Wait.. what? (internal monologue is making that old west saloon screeching phonograph needle noise). I like many of your posts, but that's an ice cold take Donahue .258 0 HR 18 RBI, struck out 29% of the time, even worse in Pac-12 play and was essentially a part timer down the stretch last year with LF a combo of CD, Anderson and Kwan slid over when Cary went to CF.. Perhaps this gave him more time to smoke weed. We will never know. Luke: 11-1. 0.76 ERA .172 BAA. Allowed 10 earned runs on the entire season, never more than 2 ER in any start. Best college pitcher on the planet last season. All the awards ultimately went to Gingery from Texas Tech who had an ERA almost a run higher, fewer K's. As an aside, Gingery has dark hair- which is extremely disappointing. #Wilkyfacts |

I'm just saying the way everything shook out, Luke's brilliance would've been mitigated by our lackluster offense. Our pitching overall wasn't terrible, but our starting left fielders didn't record a single hit in Omaha last year.
