Same player responsible for all 4 unearned runs. She is probably our best offensive player not named Bishop, and we need her in the lineup, just not playing third base.With Canetto out for the season, we already have 4 players in the lineup hitting under .200. Might as well play Riley Reynolds at 3rd and DP our 3rd baseman. Just a thought.

Another would be to play Griffin, who was a highly regarded defensive ss in HS at short (and also brings some pop with the bat) and play Robertson some at 3b. It looks to me like Dot may be too close to see the forest for the trees in regards to Amader. Her athleticism and arm would say she should be outstanding at 3b, but she is not. Brittany Lee is another young player who would probably be an upgrade defensively. Why we used her at dp the other day is. Jaclyn needs to be dp or maybe lf.oldflame wrote:final score was 6-0.

oldflame wrote:Here's a question. If DR thinks Griffin is a better defensive 3b than Amader, why not start her and have Amader dp in place of Emily Sweat and her .094 BA?Sweat is swinging the bat better than her BA indicates. She got robbed of a hit with bases loaded Saturday when ball hit a runner leaving 1B. yesterday, she ripped 2 hard hit balls right at first baseman, who made good play on the ball.
