Reid isn't that far off defensively

amazing that people can watch a team absolutely explode, score the most runs all season and then call for a lineup change barely 12 hours later
I think it’s pretty obvious that we need to make a change with Hal. I’m not requesting some major change to the line up. I simply changed a few pieces to allow for a better batter to enter the line up. It would be different if I was talking about removing a +.200 hitter. We are talking about a kid who is 0-20 in the last few games. At this point he needs a mental break. Also like another poster mentioned he did not look comfortable at the plate.
IMO, Hal’s glove doesn’t over come his batting at the plate. Reid is a serviceable 3rd baseman with a better batter. Also, this allows Gio to enter the line up and he has proved to be a better batter with better speed than Hal.
Btw, this is a message board right? A place to share your thoughts?

Hughes should try using a smaller bat like Broussard did. It has worked wonders for Brandt and it can’t really hurt Hal.

Hughes at 3B is an asset. Even more so when the rest of the lineup hits. The OP is arse backwards. It’s when you have hitting like that last night when you should feel comfortable sacrificing a bat for defense. Not the other way around
Far from arse backwards. I agree Hal is a great 3B who gives you some great range and probably gets you some outs that Reid wouldn’t get you. However, Hal is batting .175 in college baseball. Can you please name a previous player that has batted under .200 this late in the season and continues to play because he offered a good glove. Hell I would be good with Hal being a .230ish hitter. Right now, his glove doesn’t outweigh the automatic out that he is in the line up.

LSU had timely hits but they don’t get into those situations without SB walking batters, errors and misalignments. LSU only walked one batter and turned a few DPs keeping pitch counts down and shortening innings.

Hal should just lay down a bunt every at bat

Probably won’t happen in many 9-1 games.

What did the extra base hits look like?
I’m entitled to my own opinion, I simply don’t think Hal Hughes defense outweighs his batting. Can you answer my question regarding the last time LSU has a player hit under .200 and stayed in the line up?

Your a jackass if you think Hal Hughes and Stevenson had any comparison at the plate.
Posted on 6/1/19 at 10:45 am to GeauxTime9
You’re*
And he hit 0.190 at the plate in 2013. Why did he play? All of the offense around him.
ETA: 0.193/0.218/0.289 to be exact. Nearly the same line as Hughes whose OBP is 0.278

I don’t think Hughes will have the same turn around that Stevenson did, but it’s an absolute fact that these same conversations were had about him on this very board in 2013 (and most of them centered on our current first base coach being the replacement).

Stevenson had a lot more upside to him. There is a reason Stevenson is/was an MLB player. Call me when Hal sniffs the league.
We are getting away from the main point
Reid is a better option at 3rd. Now, I love the idea of Hal coming in late in the game for defense.

So you clearly did not watch LSU baseball in 2013.
