Have they changed the bats/balls from last season? I remember a lot of people complaining about them.

I think everyone should post their projected starting lineup. I'll take a stab first.
C-Garner/Collins/Walker I fully expected them to split time all year unless someone just outright takes this position. Cohen claimed he was impressed with all catchers this fall. Don't be surprised if you see Randolph behind the dish either. He had a very good defensive fall as well as hitting .316. This position is honestly anyone's guess.
1B- Wes Rea
2B- Pirtle
SS- Britton/Heck We should have a good battle going here for SS
3B- Humphreys Highest batting average this fall. He's going to be a freak before he leaves.
LF- Henderson
CF- Bradford
RF- battle between Robson/Armstrong/Vickerson
DH- Detz/Garner/Walker- A lot of this will depend on match ups and who isn't catching.
Friday- Woody
Saturday- Fitts
Sunday- Hudson
A lot can/will change with our staff and rotation like it has every year under Cohen. Someone new and unexpected always emerges.
Super excited about this season, grinders. I got a chub typing this.

No -- they passed legislation to change the balls -- but will do so slowly to protect schools that have already ordered tens of thousands of dollars worth of the current balls. The first time the new ball will be used, I believe, is Omaha 2015.
The BBCOR bat standard is here to stay. That said, MSU dropped or 25+ year relationship with Easton this year and will be using Adidas bats -- and we're the only team in the country that I've been able to confirm has got them -- which is, I believe, kinda cementing our role as Adidas' flagship baseball school. The Adidas bats are on the ragged edge of the standard and are MUCH "hotter" than the Easton or Louisville Slugger versions.
Obviously, they can afford to push the boundary, because they aren't mass-producing them yet and a failed certification wouldn't really be a big deal -- whereas the major companies have to play it safe, since a failed certification could potentially really damage them with a recall...
