re: Thompson's first 8th inning AB was a game changer.

agree. The kid battles at the plate. Wish he could improve on defense. He is a hard out.

His defense has deserved criticism at many times, but at this point he catches heat for many plays that no one could be expected to make. If we had a better option, we would have found it by now. We should be thankful that the kid has not gone in the tank and is at least giving LSU positive at bats and is helping us score runs.
