What do yall think the weekend rotation should be?

Nola
Gausman
Lange

I'd rather him fight through this now while the competition is easy than to bench him and watch as Reid struggles to play baseball.

I dont recall Reid struggling in the field or at the plate. His only downfall is he is slow....Slaughter makes Bryce work at first base. (Granted a few of his short hops were some long throws)

For now, I think Beck is fine with short doses.
When he got pulled Sat he had lost the zone after that stint.
He could potentially build up to be a starter but I would leave him in the pen for now.

I think Veitmeier will get a shot, could have used him against Texas

The key to the pitching staff will be getting Labas and Storz to contribute this year and it would be nice if Aaron Nola Jr would throw strikes.

With the current roster, you don't have a ton of options, you just have to hope the guys you are counting on can deliver and I think Hess and GIlbert will

I've seen Slaughter struggle to play baseball enough.

He only has 4 Ks. Slumps in baseball are real. Hard hit balls are outs and swinging bunts are hits. Broussard isn't a 0.500 hitter and Slaughter isn't a 0.043 hitter. He's our best defensive option at 3B while Smith is out. He needs to keep grinding at the plate. It's 7 games. We gave Trey Dawson more time than that.

Hess
Gilbert

yep.. this is what it'll probably be.


i miss last year already.

quote:

Well Slaughter sucked last year too.

Yes. A freshman hitting 0.257 is just like a soph who can't hit 0.210 vs midweek opponents.

quote:

---

Chris Reid has been more consistent at the plate when he gets the opportunity. Don't care about his bat speed or other stat caster bs.

---

So you don't like facts that prove you wrong. Got it.

He had 24 at bats last year.

Batted .287 as a freshman.

He had 24 at bats last year.

Yep. With just 5 hits... all singles. I remember seeing him face Georgia's ace that threw 94 mph. I watched him swing twice when the ball already in the catcher's mitt.

He also had 4 groundballs hit his way. He booted two of them.

How many strike outs did Slaughter have last year? How many did Chris Reid have when he was playing consistently as a freshman? Just wondering. I didn’t look it up
