re: Weird to anyone we have a guy hitting .363 on our bench?

I know we've discussed this at length, but it really is kind of crazy that Foster is hitting this well, and we arent talking about 10 at bats, he's had 44 at bats. Its possible he drops off and hits a rut, but until he does, he should be playing. And Stevenson still looks lost.
Defense!
Seriously though, I'll always take good hitting over good defense. I could be wrong, I don't follow the college game much, but outside of catcher, hitting > defense.

He can, but no one will listen to that. Its absurd someone is hitting over .350 and isnt in the lineup

Problem with that is, in college, so often now pitching > hitting. Low scoring games are more often decided by defense/errors.

DH Rhymes
Will. Not. Happen.
Rhymes is a Senior and with his ability to get drafted he has to have a position. Mainieri won't pull Rhymes to DH.
I dont get this. Rhymes will not be a high draft pick anyway. We should be playing the best team available to win for LSU and not have an agenda for attempting to boost certain player's draft stock.

I think people are taking rhymes for granted in left. He may not have the best speed or arm, but he's been reliable and you know exactly what you're getting with him. The change would have had to be made early in the season at the latest. Switching positions in the outfield isn't as easy as some people may think, so throwing laird/foster/Mac in left this late in the season would be a mistake.

By the infield
Foster's snafu in the outfield, although not an error, cost us an extra run as well

Oh well in that case Bregman needs to be benched

Point being if Foster was in the outfield we'd probably be giving up more unearned (or earned, unearned) runs.
Posted on 5/15/13 at 12:54 pm to thunderbird1100
Thats absurd
Posted on 5/15/13 at 12:54 pm to thunderbird1100
Never heard of an earned, unearned run.

Already gave an example with Foster himself

If true, it's understandable then. Like I said, I don't know the college baseball game
Posted on 5/15/13 at 1:02 pm to Jcorye1
It's true. The bats don't help either.

So "habit" is one time?
No, there were two other bad misplays off the top of my head (Saturday South Carolina, Saturday Florida) and he hasn't even been out there that much.

He has a habit of turning singles into triples.
Dude misplayed one or two balls, same thing both Stevenson and Laird have. Foster has a way better arm then both of them and above average speed. Not seeing how Stevenson is head and shoulders above Foster for playing time. Bat and arm are both in favor of Foster!

Do you think Stevenson starts the rest of the year at center?
It's starting to look like it. With Laird in right. I think we gonna run into trouble when we face good pitching with Laird and Stevenson in the lineup.

He misplayed ONE fricking ball.

He's misplayed more than one or two and hasn't had anywhere near the number of chances as the other two.

Getting good jumps, taking the correct routes, running down fly balls, and cutting off balls in the gap prevent far more runs than a good arm. When Foster can do the other things as well as Stevenson/Laird then his arm will become a factor. But to this point he has proven to be inferior to the other two defensively.

He's a fricking train wreck out there. I thought last year it was just being a freshman, but he makes terrible decisions in the field
WTF....name one time other then him diving to try and make a play that he has been a train wreck please! Laird dove for a couple earlier in the yr and missed as well! Does that make him a train wreck in the field no hes our best outfielder! Foster imo opinion would be saving a run rather than giving one up on a misplay percentage wise in right field with his arm on a base hit and Laird and Stevenson don't have a fricking prayer of throwing a man out at the plate on a hard hit single. Laird throws like a 10 yr old!

Everyone knows his defense is inferior to those two. The question is, is it inferior enough to keep him out of the batting lineup when Laird and Stevenson struggle with the bat.
