You contradict yourself. Bailey Landry is a slapper. You either like her or you don't. You cannot group all "slappers" together anymore than you can group players of different tool sets together.

I love Bailey Landry - she's a "hitter". She is no longer a "slapper".

Your entire post was pretty vitriolic. Note, I said IMO.

I see. Your definition of a "slapper and all its variations" is what matters. Nobody else can attempt to define a "slapper". You, more or less, just stated that any hitter in baseball or softball is a "slapper".

See, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one - you and me no exception.

You have power slappers and you have touch and go slappers. You have slappers that are somewhere in between. The good ones succeed, the bad ones don't just as any other offensive approach at the plate does. Teams need base runners to be driven in and speed slappers can provide this. Some of these same slappers can then drive the ball when needed, some cannot.

The idea that one style is obsolete or that a certain style is more successful is totally dependent on the skill set or "tools" of the player utilizing this approach. You painted with a broad brush and included some very uninformed statements while painting.

"Uninformed"? You are so lame with your insults. I will be sure to avoid you in any future threads. I do not use a fine hair thin brush or a 6" paint brush. I ordinarily would not have posted a reply. However, in this case, you are seemingly pretty intent on slamming my previous reply. See, your lame arse words like "uninformed" totally matter.

What your attempt to describe a "slapper" could mean to you is that Babe Ruth was a "slapper" with 60 HR (albeit a power slapper in your verbage). Note he also drove singles to the opposite field with half swings.

What that could mean to you was that Hank Aaron was a slapper with 61 HR (albeit a power slapper in your verbage). Note he also got half swing singles throughout his illustrious career.

See, your def. of slapper and my def. of slapper are not quite the same. How many HRs of your def. of "power slapper" does the LSU softball team have at this point? Bailey Landry has graduated from being a "slapper" to being a "hitter". IMO. Wanna argue with that? Go ahead. I am looking for "hitters" to improve the success with our LSU softball program. Not "slappers". Again, just IMHO.

LSU needs "hitters". All top softball teams have them. The NCAA college softball champion will have "hitters". Yeah, not "slappers". "Hitters". Stick around. You and 18 Just hide and watch.

I just posted my opinion. Will not respond further in this thread. Back at you with
