Grant Koch and Jared Gates are in the starting lineup today. Gates replaces Hunter Wilson at first base and I wonder if that might be the case moving forward. Wilson is a really good middle infielder, but he has not looked comfortable at first.
Jax Biggers is not in the lineup today. Jack Kenley will continue to play short.

[/quote]Our guys at 1B (including a ph) were 0-5 yesterday and left 7 on base. It seems to me that we’ve just not been getting a lot of production out of that position of late? Well, in fact we had no base hits from the 7-9 batters yesterday.
no doubt Gates may not have hit yet but he’s a much better hitter than wilson and has played great defense,that play on that bad throw from Martin was a very hard play and saved us some runs
Wilson hit the ball hard and got robbed once. He battled but he just hasn’t had a lot of plate appearances. Kenley draws a lot of walks and can sacrifice.
I like the energy Wilson plays with!
