This bat change should eliminate the 10 run innings and stuff like that. Sounds like the games will be quite different this season and fewer Creede Simpson moments. Good thing they made that great video for this season. Next year the "moment" will likely be a squeeze bunt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-71187993028280222782011-02-19T00:58:20.426-06:002011-02-19T00:58:20.426-06:00And by Saturday, I of course meant Sunday.And by Saturday, I of course meant Sunday.Andy Bitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653266257744434147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-29575841973065903692011-02-19T00:58:05.134-06:002011-02-19T00:58:05.134-06:00I'm actually writing a more in depth story on ...I'm actually writing a more in depth story on the new bats for Saturday.<br /><br />The basic idea: the new bat regulations make them perform more like wood bats.Andy Bitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653266257744434147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-85283304402774600992011-02-18T23:56:41.735-06:002011-02-18T23:56:41.735-06:00The NCAA passed legislation deadening the bats.

FSU and LSU both reported only 3 homers hit through all of their practices. <br /><br />I think this helps Auburn. Our coach is a small ball, play for one run guy. Last year there were times when he seemed lost with all the long ball hitters he had in the lineup. I like his chances much better in the new environment and believe me, these bats have created a new environment.MikePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-87115131390543906442011-02-18T21:50:36.907-06:002011-02-18T21:50:36.907-06:00I don't follow baseball, but I've heard a ...I don't follow baseball, but I've heard a lot about these new 'tone-down' bats.
