He’s struggling, but he’s also been incredibly unlucky. Fully expect him to do something big at the plate tonight.

Unlucky to swing an inch too high on a breaking ball or a half second too late on a fastball? That actually is baseball.

How?

Of all his SOs, maybe 2 of them were respectable ABs

He has torched a few balls that were either just foul or someone made a great play on.

This guy plays 00 on roulette.

Thompson could come through but the fella is 0-17 or something & not like he is a top bat working through a slump.

He gets way more shite than he deserves here & is a good ball player, but you’d be setting yourself up for disappointment if this is where you’re hanging the hat.

Maybe if they didn’t make him bunt so much, he could have found something. I hated making him bunt.

What happened to the 30 year old looking bat that looked like it had been run over by a few trucks?

They have thrown him a first pitch fastball for a strike most at bats. They’re not worried about you, hit the first fastball.

He's not doing shite. Gonna have to win without his crappy AB's.

All I want from Thompson at this point is solid play on defense.
Please just give us that.

i doubt it. he has a terrible approach at the plate. he tries to pull everything and they just throw him sliders away. sure every now and then the pitchers miss and throw a hittable pitch...that he usually doesn't swing at but WF should know how to pitch to him.

ETA- he will get a hit if he tries to hit it to right center

Brad Cresse, 2000 CWS no hits until he drove in the winning run in the championship game. Anything can happen.

I hope so just for him. Feel like the struggle is affecting everything he does. He’s good player. Just his sake I want him to get cranking. His average last night was mid .250. With all the struggle where he was and where he is now, kid can hit.

when you're struggling the ball will find you or you'll find yourself at the plate in a big spot... that's baseball, actually.
Let the kid come thru tonight!

I agree with the OP. Everyone is shitting on him, but he has tatto'd a few balls that were just foul. He will get one fair tonight, hopefully with some runners in scoring position.
