Do the subtitle of this song, please.

 

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

I really do think having the 'big' opening game does a disservice to a team like Wisconsin that wasn't really able to 'gel' last year and had no opportunity to play or even have much in-practice contact prior to a big matchup with another Top-20 team. I know there's a lot of dislike of the non-conference cupcakes as fans (though I believe there's a big difference between 1-AA schools and the Cincinnatis, etc. of the world), but it really did serve as a legit tune-up for conference play.

 

As such, I expect the opportunity to work out a lot of kinks tonight, which hopefully sets them up well for another big game next week.

Yup. I'm not a fan of playing 1-AA and Little Sisters of the Blind and such, but opening the season with a conference game just feels off. We've come out against LSU and played well in openers (but like you said, they are coming off a weird Covid season), so I guess we'll go from here, and see what happens.

Mertz just can’t do anything right…figure out how to handle the ball off. Jeez man.

 

And why is Eastern Michigan coached by a bunch of mechanics?

 

Put a few patches on them and you'd swear he was working a pit crew for NASCAR.

 

It’s just all the greater because their coach totally doesn’t look like a football coach and really looks like some guy who would work on your car.
