re: Jordan Thompson feels worse than you

---

1-30 (his only hit, an infield single to the shortstop) 14 strikeouts. 4 errors in the field.

Jay Johnson even tried to make his at bats worth it by having him bunt. Can't do that either.

There is zero evidence he'll turn anything around. In fact, that second error was so stupid that it looks like he's losing his mind and it's only going to get worse.

THIS!

AND some are quick to point out he was so good defensively this year when statically he was really bad and really bad all 3 years. He led the SEC in errors this year again. Fielding % he was 15/16 of the starting SSs in the SEC this year with a fielding % of .927. The only SS worse was Mississippi State's and there is a large gap between Florida's SS Rivera who was 14/16 at .960. Rivera is at least near the top of the SEC in batting average 0.352.

I get it Johnson doesn't have a better option at this point and making a change in the final game for all the marbles does not make sense. Let's hope he has a clean defensive game tomorrow and maybe mustard one hit that is clutch. That is all we can ask. I'm pulling for him.
