Author’s note: This post got really long, really quickly. It covers the lineup shuffling that’s taken place over the past two weekends, but only focuses on hitting and fielding. There will be a second post to discuss the shuffling in the starting rotation and bullpen.
Baseball teams lose games - it’s just a reality of the sport. One good pitcher, one bobbled play, one big hit can hand a team a loss. Take TCU’s 1-0 loss to Texas A&M earlier this season. Asa Lacy was nails. Not much you can do about that. Same goes for the losses to Cal State Fullerton and Grand Canyon.
