I saw MacFadden batting in the 3 hole and in the first inning he would come up to hit with the first 2 batters on base and be asked to bunt with 2 strikes! A player would have to slip when your best chance of raising your BA is NIL!
I also find it interesting that the head coach would say, “It is the fiirst time all season that Eamus looked comfortable all season.” The Tulane line up change daily and no one could have been “comfortable” not knowing what roll to play on any given day. When Emaus batted in the 2 hole his freshman year, Tulane went to the CWS. This year when Eamus batted in the 2 hole, his average was 478 and OBS was 555! Why would you move anyone with those numbers?

His average was rising when the injury happened. Tulane has moved him to third because of the mobility problem associated with the ankle. He is a blue collar player that has gutted it out and will continue to give the Wave a chance to move on. I don’t think there is a more under-rated player in the country than EMO and he will be a find for a Major League Team.
