1-30 (his only hit, an infield single to the shortstop) 14 strikeouts. 4 errors in the field.

Jay Johnson even tried to make his at bats worth it by having him bunt. Can't do that either.

There is zero evidence he'll turn anything around. In fact, that second error was so stupid that it looks like he's losing his mind and it's only going to get worse.

The whole game changed with the GS which wouldn’t have happened had JT got the an out on the ground all he booted. Johnson wouldn’t of had to punt the game like he did so yeah he’s the biggest reason we lost he might as well had given up all those runs

He has now become both an offensive and defensive liability. I know he is just a college kid and is putting 100% effort in his game, but he is hurting the team.

I hope he plays over his head tomorrow.

He is 1-31


If he's this bad and still starting then we obviously don't have anyone better, and that's scary.

His at bats today looked better than they have been. He drove the ball deep just too much air under them. Hopefully he can get it turned around for tomorrow night. A couple hits would be nice.

All we can do is hope and pray because he is our shortstop and will be tomorrow. Here's to hoping he can clear the demons from his head and get going!

People are really going to be upset with him if he single-handedly loses the game for LSU tomorrow night.

He’s playing like a beer league slow pitch softball short stop right now.

THIS!

AND some are quick to point out he was so good defensively this year when statically he was really bad and really bad all 3 years. He led the SEC in errors this year again. Fielding % he was 15/16 of the starting SSs in the SEC this year with a fielding % of .927. The only SS worse was Mississippi State's and there is a large gap between Florida's SS Rivera who was 14/16 at .960. Rivera is at least near the top of the SEC in batting average 0.352.

I get it Johnson doesn't have a better option at this point and making a change in the final game for all the marbles does not make sense. Let's hope he has a clean defensive game tomorrow and maybe mustard one hit that is clutch. That is all we can ask. I'm pulling for him.

Thompson is cooked. The coach has a responsibility to the team to hold him accountable for not preparing to play this week. His play for a guy at his level of talent is inexcusable.

I can live with his lack of hitting as long as he plays damn good defense, which he has done most of this year. But dammit boy..... stop giving them one pitch outs.

At what point should he sit? Feels weird one player can play no matter how bad a slump that wasn’t a major producer to start
