Seems pretty simple to understand what I'm asking since I quoted what you said.

Then who since PM took 2 years off and maybe still does.
If my gibberish translation is correct I'll tell you Grewe was the recruiting coordinator from June of 08 through May or June of 11. And now LSU doesn't have a recruiting coordinator.

No .. Our hitting sucks .. Our pitching and defense has saved us all year long .. You go to the games .. right ?

Naturally developed....what do scouts think about their natural ability? How about Nola's approach? The improvement from Ross?
How about Jones' digression this year? Or Edward's inability to develop into a consistent hitter? I've been watching him roll over balls to short for three years now. At what point does Tyler Hanover quit hitting pop ups to shallow right? Why is Grant Dozar still swinging at every high fastball after seeing them for four years? When does Arby Fields quit swinging for the fences every single at bat since he hasn't hit a homerun all year and has shown very little power? Better question, why does he have the same approach and long swing with no strikes as he does with two? Why do we continue to be a dead pull team when seeing nothing but off-speed stuff on the outside third of the plate and knowing that the bats don't have the same juice?
Either we have some of the most stubborn hitters who either can't or refuse to make adjustments according to coaches' suggestions or there's an apparent and very concerning lack of necessary coaching going on.

Hanover is the biggest disappointment I think. He's about neck and neck with Fields at the plate IMO.

Never said it was special, but he has been solid and is one of our best producers. How much should he produce based on his talent? How much more would he have produced with a better hitting coach?

I don't feel like reading the thread, but it all falls on fricking Javi. I'm sicking of Mainieri keeping his sorry arse around. Kick that sack of shite to the curb and offer Stony Brook's hitting coach however much he wants.

I do go to games. I'm not at all arguing that our hitting is our strong suit, but you're a clown if you argue that 4th over team batting average in the SEC sucks.

I'd love to see where we rank with RISP

Catman, I agree with you 100% about both Grewe and Sanchez. We lost Rooney and Godwin to UCF and replaced them with these two questionable hires. LSU baseball deserved much better than Maineiri hiring friends and family, and we are going to pay for that until Javi is gone and a real hitting coach is hired. We have seen how quickly our pitchers improved once a real pitching coach was finally hired. Thank goodness for Coach Dunn and the entire pitching staff or this team would not be where they are at this point in time.

Probably not great since we're 2nd overall in SEC in grounding into DP's.

Jones is the biggest disappointment on the team to me because he actually does have ability to draw from....he just hasn't carried over the approach that most of the rest of the lineup has. Sanchez needs to do a better job of getting through to him.
As for Edward and Dozar, they aren't full time players for a reason. Hanover has been affected by the new bats more than anyone.
We can go back and forth naming players that produce/have produced and ones that don't/haven't. The bottom line is our lineup just isn't overly talented right now, and the results we've had are because of approach and experience.

Just because they did away with a title doesn't mean someone isn't in charge of recruiting. Agree or disagree?
And forget parsing the criticism...do you or do you not think he bears any responsibility for our ineptitude.
In short, who in your view is accountable within this program since you are so adamantly defensive of Sanchez?

Buck stops with head coach. Always has always will.

Better question: How much has the pitching staff produce based on talent? How much more did they produce with a better pitching coach?
This argument is pointless: Sanchez is a failure and should never have been hired to begin with. You cannot tell me you support his continued employment.
I know you know the game. Way better than I do. I don't see how you can look at this any other way...

LSU ranks 4th in the SEC in batting average and 1st in runs scored.

They've both pretty much been full-time for the past month or so. More concerning is that they've been in the program and under Sanchez's coaching for 3 and 4 years now, respectively.

And yet, we've seen no change in his approach. Is that on Hanover or coaching? I'd argue coaching.
