I think Hess needs to go to the bullpen because we have a locked in #3 and they need the depth.

I think Slaughter needed to be benched because he was pressing way too hard at the plate and "K"ing even more than usual.

So I agree with the moves PM made here...


But why the hell does he have to BS about the reasoning?

He tried to say that having a 4th starter has hindered bullpen development... WTF??? Our starters have thrown 153 of 258.2 innings this year. That isn't some exorbitant amount. It averages out to 5.1 innings per 9. It's not like the bullpen hasn't gotten enough work. Why say that crap?

Then he said that Slaughter was benched because of his defense... Think about that for a second. Slaughter's defense has been great and imo wasn't seeing a drop off. He still has zero errors and made a couple ++ plays the last couple games he played. Why is it not okay to say he was benched because he hasn't even been hitting balls in play?

The real question is why do the BR media just lap up everything he says instead of questioning his silly excuses?

Ding Ding ell gets it

Make no mistake he's not someone who I would bring in with runners on just yet but he can eat up innings and offset the loss of Norman to an extent.

If he's to be a starter in the SEC next year he needs more work than midweek starts.

Yea that made no sense Slaughter is the best first base man LSU has had in years.

I called the exact same BS on his excuse.

Notice every move he is making does not address or acknowledge how bad the offense has been recently.
