He'll have some weekends like this again. He'll also have weekends that he carries the team.

It is psychological. Purely a mental block. He presses and if he knows what is good for him, he will get this figured out before the end of the season. He can’t have the added pressure of the impending draft like next season and tank further.

What’s his average with RISP?

He's hitting over 400. He has multiple hits in over half the games. He sucked against Baylor and La Tech. He's been very good in CF. This place is miserable.

He is hitting >.400 with RISP in his career at LSU? Wow. Didn’t know that. It was a problem last year and against the 3 decent teams this past weekend.

WHAT IS HIS AVERAGE WITH RISP IN THE SEC?

I’ve looked for it as well so was hoping a more stat savvy person than myself could intervene without me going game by game lol. He’s a hell of a player and I’m glad to have him I know that.

You can judge it this way:
In 2021, Morgan and Crew had the exact same number of hits and RBIs. Crews had 3X the HRs at 18 than Morgan at 6.

That is averaging in SEC pitching. Thus far the team has seen SEC level of pitching this past weekend and his LRSP seems to be high and Ks in high leverage situations seems to be high.
I’m not going through all the box scores either.

How many of Morgan's HRs were multi run? Because most of Crews' weren't.

What a stupid way to look at it.

You're the 3rd person ITT to say it was a problem. I'll ask you the same thing I've asked the others:

Do you have anything to back this up?

List them. I’m genuinely curious what evidence there is to support any of these claims.

Strangely, no one seems to be able to prove it. Maybe you can.


Prove what? That he didn’t drive in a lot of runs despite all those homers?

I don’t know the reason, but it’s not just because he batted lead off.

Possible reasons? They pitched around him a lot with men on base. He led the team in walks which is a sign of that.

It’s interesting he had no sac flies. Doughty had 6 and Dugas 4. Morgan 2, even though he batted lead off more than Crews did.

Or maybe he just had bad luck. Who knows, but we all know the guy is a good hitter. I know early in the year it was reported his average with risp was not good.

He was t-3 on the team as a true freshman.

I'm not asking for your opinion on why he wasn't successful with risp. I'm asking for proof that he wasn't successful with risp, which is an opinion apparently no one is able to support with facts.

That was my point. His RBI total should have been a hell of a lot higher than it was with that many HRs and then NOT ALL BEJNG LEADING OFF OF GAMES OR INNINGS.

You’re an idiot or didn’t watch the games last year to know the anomaly in his average with RISP.

It was freaking discussed multiple times last season. Unfortunately, for college I can’t find a website to give advanced stats.

Ok YOU PROVE EVERYONE ELSE WRONG ABOUT HIM HITTING WITH RISP frickING a-hole.

The only anomaly in this discussion is the number of solo home runs Crews hit.

So more discussions without proof. Sorry scooter, but the Tiger Rant bitching about something doesn't make it a fact.

I have no idea why you're melting about this. All I'm asking is for something other than you and other idiot Ranter opinions that Crews can't deliver with risp.

Apparently that's too much to ask.

He had a great year hitting. He hit with power.. He did not have the number if rbis you’d expect him to have with so many extra base hits and homers.

He was third in the SEC in batting average
He was third in slugging pct.
Tied for fifth in doubles
Fifth in homers
First in total bases
Tenth in walks
RBIs not in top 15 (15th had 55). My quick count had him tied for 33rd. He was not amongst the leaders in this category.

Almost like having roughly half your at bats hitting behind 2 guys who barely hit .250 and a 3rd who was well below the Mendoza line can limit your opportunities to drive in runs.

Weird.

True, but Morgan batted in the same spot in the order more times than Crews did and matched Crews’ rbi total with 12 less homers.

Batting first only partially explains the lower rbi total. Other reasons came into pksy.

Prove your opinion he is a .400+ hitter and his average is that or better with RISP….

by the way, why do you think this was? It wasn’t because the bases were empty when he came up to bat every time he hit a HR. It was a source of commentating all last year. But keep on.

So? How many of Morgan's RBIs came from Crews' 64 runs scored? How many of Crews' RBIs came because of Morgan's 64 runs scored?

Blaming a dude who hit 18 home runs, the majority of which were solo, for not driving in more runs is kind of ignorant.

I do. It’s because the bottom half of our lineup had such a huge hole that he never had the OPPORTUNITY to hit people in. Not sure how that’s so hard to understand

RBIs are a useless stat to judge players on. It is a function of men being on base when said hitter is up.

Decades of data tells us that hitter’s tendencies do not vary much in what fans deem “clutch” situations vs non clutch situations.

Good hitters generally hit well, bad hitters generally hit poorly.


The right question would be why weren’t more men on base when he hit HRs? Or how does he prevent the other team from pitching around him with men on base? All this is stupid

Please keep referring to the "source of commentating", A.K.A the Tiger Rant, as your proof that he struggled with risp.

That same "source of commentating" is bitching about him this year and he has 14 RBI through 12 games.

I can say this. My very unofficial stats have him at 7-15 through the OU game with RISP for a .467 average. Not doing last year too much work lol.

7-18 for .389 average with Texas and Baylor included.
