In the few games he's had I've seen significant growth in his play.

The tards that were hammering him earlier.. just wow.

Nobody was hammering the kid. It was pointed out that there would be growing pains and he probably isn't ready for SEC play at this point.

Besides, with suh-vik crushing the ball and throwing lasers behind the plate we can afford to bring Pap along slowly.

Freshman year for catchers is really hard. They have to learn so damn much. You can tell he's got talent though.

Agree %100.

Can't wait for next year after he has a full college season and a summer league under his belt.

Anyone who played like he did in the second BC game--Gibbs, Matt Heath, Brad Cresse, God Himself--would have taken criticism and rightfully so. He went 0-3, allowed 3 stolen bases, dropped two called third strikes, failed to hold on to a tip in the fourth that would have been another strikeout for Lange. It wasn't his best game to say the least. The criticism was warranted. He has rebounded nicely.

The fourth inning from the box score:

quote:

Boston College 5th - Adams, Jo struck out swinging, reached first on a wild pitch (1-2). Adams, Jo stole second. Sauter, S singled up the middle, RBI (1-1); Adams, Jo scored. Palomaki, J singled to third base, bunt (0-0); Sauter, S advanced to second. Hernandez, G walked (3-2); Palomaki, J advanced to second; Sauter, S advanced to third. Butera, B walked, RBI (3-2); Hernandez, G advanced to second; Palomaki, J advanced to third; Sauter, S scored. Cronin, J struck out swinging (2-2). Shaw, C singled to right field, 2 RBI (1-0); Butera, B advanced to third; Hernandez, G scored; Palomaki, J scored. Strem, M grounded into double play ss to 1b (0-0); Shaw, C out on the play. 4 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 1 LOB.


Woof.

As a former catcher I understand why he is having a little trouble with block balls this year. How many 95 mph balls you think he had to block until getting to college? Lol.. Some people on here are so quick to judge highly touted freshman before they have time to adjust. I agree 100% he will be a great one. He has an effortless swing and on effortless cannon for an arm. I think he will be LSU's next All-American catcher.

Still needs work on his throws to 2B, but he has improved.
