Jacoby went 0 for the weekend against a very weak auburn team. He's struggled all year, continuing his inconsistency from last year. At what point in time do you sit a guy for a game or two to let him clear his head and get a fresh start? I don't want to hear all of the garbage about him having better at bats, taking more walks, making solid contact, etc. At some point, he has to start getting some hits. I've always liked his potential, and his defense has been great. I hope he can break out of this slump, because he's got the tools to be really good. Ross's struggles have been discussed, but what do y'all think about Jones?

1. He has been having better AB's
2. He does need to start getting some hits.
3. He won't be benched.

Who've you got that's better to replace him?

Don't overlook the presence of JaCoby's glove in this lineup, either.

you do know there's more to baseball than hitting, right?


it's like saying "Katz/Rhymes/Bregman committed 3 errors this weekend....time to see the bench??"

Too good defensively and he will come around. He is looking at more pitches this year and has had some pretty good at bats. Hopefully it will click, but you don't bench him just yet.

Not permanent, just for a midweek game. Clear his head. It happens a lot in baseball when a guy is slumping. I'm not saying we have someone better.

I think keeping him in will help him opposed to benching. His glove is better than any who could replace him. Considering we are 22-2 i don't think at this point we're dying for any extra help at the plate so when he does start hitting it will be Lagniappe at the plate.

there are different ways coaches go about boosting productivity besides benching a great player!
