And let's ignore his very high fielding % (for a SS) in the previous 59 games. Is this some of your first experience with baseball?
Eeeeehhh, he's obviously going right back to shortstop tomorrow but his fielding % isn't that great.

Homan did nothing to add value today. The only time he got on it was a walk. Heck, he cost himself at least one walk swinging at balls. He extended a few innings with the glove and ran us out of another inning. Gutierrez, Gillman, Schoenvogel, it doesn't matter they would all be an upgrade in aggregate.
It's not the kids fault he is just out of his depth.

I wish that Kilkenny could've gotten the win, but Dox was clutch with that strikeout to send it to the bottom of the 15th still tied. It was fun doing rifleman 9 for Kilkenny's strikeouts.
If they would have left extra infielder in, this game would still be going....
I don't see how you pull him, but Homan needs an some serious focus adjustment: 0-6, 3 errors and a base running mistake. Have seen little leaguers play better than him.

No way you can bench homan.
As has been pointed out even as bad as he has been lately you can't move your starting 2nd or 3rd baseman to the toughest position on the field in the middle of a super regional.
Why? Because they might miss a play or not come through with base running?
No because everyone is saying "player xyz can't do worse".
Imo Yes they can. Janca has been very shaky at third base the last 2 games in particular.
Everyone just assumes you could plug shumake in there and he's just going to play a solid shortstop. It's the toughest position on the field and you can't just plug guys in and everything is fine.
And this is coming from someone who thought homan should have been benched half way through the season and given someone else a shot. I think he's a hot dogging show boat who is annoying as hell but realize we are past the point of making that switch bc we have very few if any other options in game 2 of the supers
Wow. What a game!
Frustrated with Homan, but he is SS. You take the good with the bad. He has played good defense all year. Tomorrow is a new day.
Can't wait to get back out there tomorrow night!
Janca with the clutch hit!
Kilkenny eating up 100 pitches. Great pitching for someone that had not seen action in 3 weeks.
Got to their bullpen. Would have been easier winning 6-0, but we are in drivers seat tomorrow.

I'd be willing to bet that Kilkenny is just fine with not getting the W. He's as happy as a pig in mud with being up 1-0 in the SR.
You mean the same kid who solidified the postion last year. He was a big reason the 2016 team was as good as it was.NewOldAg said:

I'm not defending Homan's defense which was terrible, but the baserunning tackle wasn't a horrible mistake. His only other option was to stop and get into a pickle. At least he tackles better than the aggie defense!

Of a somewhat different note - who plays SS tomorrow? Not picking on anyone - but that position left a lot to be desired this afternoon.
Yes, replace your SS who has played there all year. Make sure you do it one game away from Omaha, too
No, his best option was to just stand on 2ndbase.

Oh ok i thought there was a runner behind him... i stand corrected
This was easily his worse game of the year. What do we use to judge possible future results, this one game or the entirety of the season?ArcticPenguin said:How could it be worse?AggieBand2004 said:ArcticPenguin said:He shouldn'tjkag89 said:Homan will start.Hamburger Dan said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I've seen worse, then again I've seen many a college baseball game over the years.The Debt said:Quote:

I'm not on the "bench Homan" crazy train, but he did have another option...retreat on a ball hit in front of you...
I suggest you stop opening your mouth and removing all doubtArcticPenguin said:How could it be worse?AggieBand2004 said:ArcticPenguin said:He shouldn'tjkag89 said:Homan will start.Hamburger Dan said:

Could one make the argument (ignoring that the extra 6 innings were brutal torture) that by extending the game this much and still winning, we gave ourselves a much better chance of winning tomorrow?
Very much so.
Yep.Tobias Funke said:

In fact, I expect tomorrow to look like what we thought we had going early today. Ags win 10 to 4.

Can you cofeve that again?
Did you see what happened at 3rd base when Janca was benched early in the season? I think we had 4 errors their against tu when someone asked, "How could it be worse?"ArcticPenguin said:How could it be worse?AggieBand2004 said:ArcticPenguin said:He shouldn'tjkag89 said:Homan will start.Hamburger Dan said:

I think our backup middle infielders have less than 9 combined innings of playing time this season, but we want to put them in with the CWS on the line?
I posted weeks ago that ss needed to be replaced early in the season. Move Shew to short and then work someone in to play 2b. Too late now so we have to live with a non-productive player during the playoffs. Not good.
oh my, finally got home from Blue Bell Park...what an unbelievable game for the maroon-n-white. Many thoughts...
the Ags played so well offensively from the 1st inning to the 5th inning...and then were just flat out awful for the next 10 innings until Janca sent the 6,000 fans home happy with the game-winning single. So many horrific at-bats and mind-numbing futility at small ball.
thank goodness for Kilkenny. He was spectacular. Saved the day for A&M.
as for Homan...that may have been the worst performance I've ever seen from an aggie baseball player in a postseason game. C'mon man...you have to contribute somewhere...in some phase of the game. You know the staff wants to bench him, but it's too late in the season for that.
ultimately the Ags got the all-important win in game 1 of the SR. Win #40 on the season. Davidson is behind the 8-ball now.
as an aside...I think that was the longest game I've been to at Olsen since the 16-inning affair vs. the Razorbacks in 1989. That game did not have a happy ending. Fortunately today did

That bloop double down the RF line still irritates me.W said:

#1 It is covfefe.
#2 Corrected. Sorry for the typo. I roll without autocorrect.
as for Davidson...
their first baseman was great at scooping balls. Saved his infielders 2 or 3 errors on low throws.
it was very scary when Cam Johnson -- the leadoff guy -- came to the plate in extras. He was tagging the ball. His 2 doubles were almost home runs. Great job by Dox to get him in the top of the 15th.
one key strategic move that backfired on Davidson...pinch-running for their 3rd baseman 5-hole hitter. His .197 BA replacement went 0 for 3 with 3 K's in some big spots in extras

That was absolutely brutal. This game definitely tested my level of redassness. But it was great! Hoping for another good one tomorrow (hopefully only nine innings long)
That mind numbing attempt at small ball put them in position in the 15th. Great decisions since we coudnt get the ball out of the infield for 9 innings. Now if they could just steal a base.
It's too late in the season. He hasn't been this bad all year defensively. Homan has had some troubles hear and there as of late but, has generally been solid in the field. Plus, it would mess up the normal double-play rhythm. He is what he is at the plate.NewOldAg said:

Maybe a game like this will cause him to tighten things up. We live or die with him.
