re: Chris Reid is having a nice season

quote:I agree with Project on this. That Reid is playing well enough to play because he gives you more today. But he won't remain when Smith returns. And Slaughter will continue to get opportunities for the reason we've spoken about 100 times.
The relevance is that he was given the opportunity and played himself out of the lineup. Had he produced, he would have never been removed.
I thought the following was interesting looking through some old stats posted on twitter. 2 players.
H/AB (avg):
45/181 (0.249) vs 49/200 (0.245)
OBP:
0.304 vs 0.322
XBH:
19 vs 11
Both have sub 0.750 OPS. Slaughter vs who?

Deichmann?
Posted on 3/20/18 at 2:48 pm to lsufball19
Yep. Deichmann through his first 181 ABs as a Tiger (those were the stats readily available) which was through May 13th of his sophomore year. The difference being the 8 more XBHs. Obviously significant. But just as much so was that we were very thin at 1B/DH at the time with 8 other players batting above 0.300 with guys like Romero and Kramer stepping up big. So we had room to let Deichmann grow and figure things out. He ended up with 41 Ks that year.
And those struggles paid off. He finished with 9 more XBHs and significantly increased his average, too. Although the OBP remained below 0.350.

PM was unloading the bench and all Missouri wanted to do was fill up the strike zone and get on the bus.
So like I said PM unloaded the bench, Mo. was ready to get out of dodge, their pitchers threw a couple of meatballs and the game ended.
If PM thought the game was in reach he never would have used Moffit as a pitcher, and left him in to give up two more runs.
And I doubt Mo. was using front line pitching either. They subbed in the field and threw a bunch of back line pitchers in there.

If you think Slaughter is Deichmann, you've lost your mind. I suggest you look at those stats a little closer.
Posted on 3/20/18 at 3:03 pm to ell_13
Diechmann led our team in XBH & HR's for most of that year. We know at least thru 4/26. And at the end of the year.
He was never as bad as Slaughter was. Cause even at his worst he was providing power.

I agree. Slaughter has the hands and lateral quickness and agility to play the infield. Not nearly as stiff an athlete as Deichmann.

But one of those 3 was a HR vs Cinci so there's that. But seriously. I never said he was "as bad as" Slaughter. Just thought it was interesting. He wasn't leading in HRs through 4/26. He was tied. And Kramer lead the whole way in XBHs until the very end. Like I said, Deichmann's June was insane. (ETA: I may be thinking of doubles here. The stats I'm looking at have KRob with 18 XBHs and Deichmann with 19 as of May 13th, so you're probably right).

Well that, and the fact that 107 of Deichmanns AB's were in SEC play. In those 107 ABs he was hitting .271 with 8 2B, a 3B, 3 HR, 18 RBI, 10 BB and 20 SO.
Slaughter's career numbers in SEC play are 8 for 39 (.205) with 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB and 14 SO.
How can you look at those numbers and say they are at all similar? Would you like Deichmann's first 39 ABs of SEC play to compare?

Point is Deichmann was stuck with because he flashed. Had a 500 slg or near it going into May. Slaughter would prob still be playing if he had flashed previously, outside of just exit velocities

Meh, Slaughter is pretty stiff & it shows especially when he hits

quote:I'd say he has flashed it. We've seen it from the HRs he has hit. The difference is that Deichmann was beginning to do it more frequently, and again, we had an issue finding a first baseman. Our options were Bryce Adams, Bryce Jordan and Deichmann. So even though he still didn't look at all ready those first 2 weeks and even the 4th week vs Ball st (2 for 12), he still was getting a chance into SEC play starting with a 2 for 8 vs Bama. Many people were starting to give up on him by then.

He only had 28 post season ABs where he hit .250 with 1 HR.

Through his first 39 SEC ABs Deichmann hit .359 with 4 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 3 BB, and 6 SO.

You do realize that Slaughter was on pace to strike out 65 times last year if he had the 260 PA that Deichmann had right?
Posted on 3/20/18 at 3:35 pm to LST
Deichmann had 62 last year. Good company.
But 51 walks.
