Great comp. Certainly, Bregman is a similar talent to the guys in that lineup.

Alex Bregman, one of the world's best baseball players, is 0 for 2 right now. I wonder if they should bench him, or if he should just hang it up and call it a career. He obviously can not hit.

This is your statement. So obviously you mean to say that I am being unfair by posting that the group that includes Hughes is performing poorly.

So either you are saying that the people in the group I posted, including Hughes, are like Bregman and one would be foolish to bench him or them....or you are saying Bregman is like those listed in my post. You can pick.

Or you were just being silly.

Hughes as .150 or so in summer league with like one extra base hit in over 100 at bats. We are to believe that his lack of performance is an anomaly...just like Bregs.

Yes, you did. This is the part where you become disingenuous and say you did not make the comparisons of our poorly performing hitters to Bregman. But you did


I simply pointed out that a baseball player (ANY baseball player) having an 0 for 2 or 3 day isn't a reason to come cry about on a message board. I'm sorry though, I shouldn't have assumed you weren't a complete moron. Should have known as much when you said the same Mathis playing third base was the catcher Mathis from last season (who isn't on the team anymore btw).

Not once did I mention Hughes. You brought him up. But that was the point of your post anyway, wasn't it?

If Hughes would have been 1/2 or 2/3, your arse wouldn't have been in this thread at all. It's the same song and dance every single thread.

What if you were on average below the Mendoza line for a career? Is that reason to be concerned? Or did Hughes and Bianco bat over .350 like Bregman did his freshman year. Or did they have a slugging percentage of .590 like he did this year. Just trying to figure this out.

You want Hughes benched in practice? What the hell do you expect them to do? Not bat him? Kick him off the team?

Of course it was, being that I listed his name in my first post.

Actually I would have, I would be praying he kept up the production.

You can believe what you want. You can cast whatever light you want on it, but if we have another year with 4 outs in the line up we will not be where we want to be.

When you see a group that was underperforming, and they continue to underperform it is alarming. Just as when you see Marceaux was dominant, and Henry has velocity to burn..it is a good thing.

Facts don't have feelings.

Hughes isn't below the Mendoza line for his LSU career btw....but don't let that stop you from crying like a bitch after going 0 for 2 in practice.

You have a hard time with being sensible dont you.

I would like to see him not hit .150 or what ever over a summer, I would like to see him be able to steal bases, I would like to see him offer an offensive threat of some kind. It appears he is our SS, we need more out of him. We dont have enough offense as it stands now to have a complete black hole. I would hope and pray he would say the same thing about himself.

You draw that conclusion from a 5 inning practice? Perhaps you missed most of the other practice reports. We have plenty of hitters at, or well above, .300.


Mathis (you know, the dude you thought was the catcher from last year) has rarely gone a scrimmage without at least one hit. Bianco has about 500 home runs. Willis has been tearing it up.

And he batted over .200 his freshman year, in more at bats. He is not below .200 on his CAREER, which is what you said.

Stats don’t tell the whole story most of the time, but Labas and Marceaux were every bit as good as their lines indicate.
What pitches are in Labas’ arsenal? From what I remember, people really liked his changeups. Is that what he got all those Ks on today?

Good fastball. Sharp curve and a wicked fricking change up is what I remember

tigerfioot - you cant argue with that guy. You have a great point. You never even said you were really referring to the Mathis from last year. He’s using it as deflection from your point. Still.

He’s got great posts but goes postal when something is deemed offensive. He’s a big fan of LSU baseball though it appears. Your point has just been beaten to death is all. It’s the proverbial elephant. It’ll work itself out. He has to practice. He’s nowhere close to Bregs, but has never been hyped that way.

Let him get classless and curse. You keep trucking and keep on with your rant.

I rarely post, but thought it interesting.

He’s got to be less than .174 even during scrimmages.

the offensive firepower demonstrated by Mathis and Hughes over the past years should make me more patient with them.

Mathis has never played here fyi. You follow California juco ball that closely?

Well to be fair going against the likes of Labas and Marceaux can’t be easy especially in a controlled scrimmage.
