Our catcher is prolly the best in the league. His hitting will catch on. He had a bad game behind the plate today. We have a SEC 1st baseman in Hines sitting the bench/DHing. I think Cam James needs to get away from 3rd and let Alford get in that spot. Everything i have see nadn heard is ALford is light years better at 3rd than James. Put James in CF. Cumbest is not a SEC outfielder. I think Rowdey kinda masked his limited range last year. If your not gonna have good range in the OF, you better be blasting balls out of the park or in the gaps. He isnt doing either. Half his hits are little infield hits. So technically, we have no legit CF, LF, or really RF. Skinner and Davis, who can make our defense SEC level, cant hit ****. Our legit SS who is damn good in the field, cant hit ****, and our 1B, should be the DH.
Overall, we looked totally lost at the plate. Especially when the pitcher can throw a damn change up. We only have 45 hits on the season. Think about this.. LSU scored 51 runs last wknd. They have scored more runs than we have hits... READ that again.... LSU HAS SCORED MORE RUNS THAN WE HAVE HITS... Thats is pathetic... I dont know what the hell Coach Gaeu is doing, but teaching hitting aint one...
If we are gonna be that bad at hitting, we better start playing small ball and stealing every bag we can.. We are only 4-5 in stolen bases. We need to be running every chance we get with everyone not named Hancock, Hines, or Tanner...
