If you have no other option but Thompson, what do you say to him today?

Assume JJ and the hitting coach have a sit down with him this morning. What do you say? What extra can you do to help between now and 6?

Watch more tape, extra BP, tee, grounders? Bring in a hypnotist? He's a kid, you know his mind is shot and he's playing on his heels.

It's a one game series, everything that happened before has no bearing on how you perform today.

Be a goldfish.

JT will be OK today. I'm flying in a San Diego Slump Buster for the San Diego Slammer.

1 base clearing double and a single incoming.

The team needs rest - mental and physical.
They've had a much harder path to this series than Florida.

Block out the noise and just make a play when it comes to you...... also... swing hard, you might hit it.

Nothing. You fill out the lineup card and you let him go play.

You take him aside and remind him that life is more than baseball and that at the end of the day, its just a silly game.

Oh yeah. Lotta pressure. You gotta rise above it. You gotta harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness. Energy. Block. Bad. Feel the flow Jordan. Feel it. It's circular. It's like a carousel. You pay the quarter, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and AROUND. It's circular. Circle, with the music, the flow. All good things.

His defense has been solid the whole time. He had a rough game. shite happens. But I do hope his bat gets hot for at least this last game.

Right now the kid needs confidence. Jay prolly has a pointer or two from his at bats or plays defensively but really its about building up his confidence.

Na, 8 hole is your worst hitter. 9 hole we want on base for top of line up. So usually an avg hitter.
