Media day recap:
Obligitary content for LSU lurkers
Spring practice has gone great so far. Thank goodness we’ve had great weather. I think that’s been a major plus. Last year was really rough. We’re trying to work out and get ready for the opening couple of weekends
DVH on pitching
Right now Killian, Taccolini, Jackson, Teague and McKinney are the ones that jump right out at me. They all throw strikes. They’ve got good stuff.
DVH on catching
It’s a pretty good battle. Pennell is a pretty polished defensive catcher. He will throw you out if you give him a chance. Alex Gosser is battling too. Right now Pennell is a little bit ahead of him on the defensive side
DVH on infield
The infield is interesting, especially the middle. Clark Eagan is the most improved hitter that we’ve had and we’ve got him at first base. At second base, there’s three or four kids that could go there. If Michael Bernal isn’t playing short, he can play second. Defensively, he’s our best second baseman. Brett McAfee or Bernal will be at shortstop. Another player that’s improved and I think you’ll see this right out of the gate is Bobby Wernes. Athletically, he’s probably one of the hardest working kids I’ve been around. He can play third, short or second. He’s our best fielder
Coach Jorn on the new baseballs
The pitchers seem to like the ball. They don’t like the extra distance that it carries but they like the feel of it and the ability to spin the ball.”
I think it’s going to make a difference and make things more exciting. Offense or defense, it’s going to be a team win or a team loss for every team across the country. But, I think everyone wants a little bit more drama, especially in Omaha, you saw when guys are hitting home runs in big time moments or extra base hits to score more runs
Coach Vitello on Tyler Spoon
I think his hitting is very similar to what he had last year when I first saw him, what’s different is his presence. It’s phenomenal. I complimented him on his leadership yesterday, but I just think he has a totally different mindset and has a bigger presence.
Spoon on the team
This year I can honestly say that if I don’t get it done, the next guy will in the seven-hole, eight-hole, nine-hole. We have so many weapons in the outfield, infield too. If someone doesn’t get it done one day, someone else will go in and it will be just fine
Bonfield on the team
I just try to put in my work like everyone else and try and be the hardest worker on the team. It’s tough because if you don’t do the job, someone is going to come in a replace you and get that job done.”

I noticed you posted no pics of a batter hitting a ball.
Because DVH thinks its still 2004 and basic fundamentals like batting isn't important or to be practiced.

Saw where Bernal and Killian might not be ready for opening weekend. Hope they aren't out too long.
Can't wait to watch Bonfield and McKinney play

Bernal may be out for a while.
He was also our worst hitter last year. Might not be a bad thing to give another kid a shot. Bernal is a good infielder but a complete non factor at the plate.

I spoke with DVD about a month ago. He is pretty excited about the up coming season. He said this year they will be able to hit,but he does not know about the pitching. He also made the remark that he had alot of depth and if someone was not going to class he could park their arse on the bench.
Also watch for news about recruiting and the unfair advantages the private schools have. Apparently alot of coaches are pissed about it.

Most excitement you'll get out of batting from a DVH coached team.
