Slaughter catches too much heat

I didn't know Jake Slaughter's mom posted on the rant.

Reid - though his ba has dropped he still has a .452 obp.

Coomes - just filling in for Hunter a game.

Hard to argue with this sound logic. Clown.

The slide last year doesnt help his case. That's probably where a lot of it comes from

---

It’s not. People were crushing Jake before that for his strikeouts. Also complete horse shite to blame that series on Jake.

Coomes’s errors in game 2 hurt us so much more than that slide.

I know he dropped the one in the Norte Dame series but did he drop another one?

---

Also dropped one in foul territory the next weekEND.

Yes, I have watched him drop 2 gimmes (one being the ND one). I am sure there is some Slaughter hater on here who has the other video clip(s) saved, but I dont remember which game it was.

I haven't given up on the kid, but a lot of people on here have. I think he will be provide some clutch hitting for us down the stretch.

I can’t even comprehend what the hell your attempting to say. Punctuation goes a long way.

He was a few swings away from being really hot at the plate earlier this season. Dude was crushing the ball, just hitting it right at the defenders...

Someone used this as a defense of Bain the other day in a thread where a lot of people were shitting on Slaughter. It's funny how people can be selective about the same information.

On a non-Slaughter note that I uncovered while checking some stats: The haters can just go ahead and frick right off about Beau Jordan. People are clinging to at bats from early in his career saying he strikes out too much and can't see a breaking ball.

He's striking out 10% (10 times in 100 PA) of the time (NCAA average is close to 20.5%). That's good for second among regular starters, behind Broussard.

There is no LSU regular striking out more than NCAA average. In fact only one player at all is, Braden Doughty.

Jake had 2 of our 10 hits last night but what fans will remember is he also hit into TWO inning-ending double plays with one of them in the eighth inning when a base hit could have tied the game.

---

At least he swung the damn bat. I would much rather someone going down hacking then Reid ending the inning on a backwards K with runners on the corners.

His hit led to our only run btw.
