re: Raph Rhymes hits/avg records watch (updated 6/10)

expecting someone to hit .500 like that is always asking too much, regardless how how well they've been doing.

That's why I said atleast 7 games. 10 is atleast 7

i know you said at least 7. you could have said at least 5 too.

Well I was trying to be semi realistic

so you pick the first few weeks of the season. His average was not .500 in march. his average has dropped about .35 in the past 2 1/2 weeks, though. He went 2/12 against Vandy, 4/13 against USC. That's a .240 average the past 2 weekends, so yeah he's struggling a bit. No one ever said he sucks or anything, but he's going through a bit of a slump that was bound to happen eventually based on the law of averages.

Do people realize that Rhymes is about to set an LSU batting record that may not be broken in our lifetimes

no, we're completely unaware

15 hits away. I think he will
break the most hits record if we keep
winning

The key is to play 9 or more games the rest of the way. He is averaging 1.78 hits per game.

If he at least keeps pace the rest of the way

8 games = 14 more hits (ties record)
9 games = 16 more hits (record)

It is very possible.

On to the regionals...

Great timing for a bump

Records look great, thanks for adding.

How did he do yesterday? Wasn't able to watch.
