This is what I said.

Considering Slaughter can get in exit velocity close to 110, I'd have him at a 75 for college.

Working with the combo of Ochinko and Gibbs, they may have him trying to increase his launch angle. I know Ochinko has already been helping streamline his swing a bit.

I guess only my flaws are pointed out

I think this team is going to surprise the **** out of some people. LSU is being counted because of the rotation. It’s time to sit back and watch...

Not true Adam. You get lots of credit for your hard work and knowledge (even from ell), but you make mistakes like the rest of us. Of course that makes for great "discussion". When it all boils down, we are all Tiger fans.

I agree with you here.

That’s all that’s in the tweet.

ETA: Watson had multiple 105+ hits. A few were just below that list at 106.4.

I enjoy and appreciate the great insight on Tiger baseball every year. But from a LSU Agriculture grad who has been writing newspaper columns for 40+ years, please take my suggestion with the good will intended. You need a proofreader! All writers do. I certainly still do. A proofreader would prevent the constant separating sentences with commas. Either make them sentences with periods or use connectives like “and”, “but”, “so” etc. I’m not attempting to be the dreaded TigerDroppings grammar police.....although I did take English in the Quad as well as Beef Production one street over......but please make a good read an easy read. Again, your insight is the best.

Trust me I don’t intend for this to be proofread by professionals ever. It’s my thoughts jumbled into a mess which I try to organize best I can for a message board. Thank you for the thoughts. I was never and English major and it’s shows but life will go on.

I've seen better proofreaders walking across the Quad.

You put together that jumbled mess with ellipses out the arse that you probably thought was a coherent paragraph and then have the gall to demand the OP have a proofreader?

(Sorry, ell, I couldn't resist since this thread is now apparently about spelling & grammar mistakes.)

Touche Russian. Agreed that this should not be about commas and grammar, which are some my many weaknesses. Math is more of a weakness though, so lets stay away from that.

Josh Smith isn’t a top 5 prospect in 2019? We must be loaded.
