re: With everyone healthy the lineup I think will give baseball

Every post you have made has been about Hampton. Obviously you are very close to him. I’m a huge Hampton fan but he hasn’t earned his playing time yet. I would love to see him win a spot. Huge ceiling for him. He hasn’t done it yet. Sometimes the players and the parents need to look in the mirror instead of looking to blame coaches

He’s made appearances in 5 games this year

No relation I don't know him or his family. Just know he's a special talent that seems to be overlooked.

Not playing in games for the fans to see him is not the same thing as being overlooked. I am sure the coaches are looking at him plenty they just like the guys that are playing right now more than him. Who shouldn’t be playing right now to give Hampton more playing time?

As a fan I like domination. Not participation trophies. Patriots didn't win this year because of participation. Tampa Bay got that win by dominating. I like that kind of sh*t. So excuse the hell out of me??

You just really don't want him out there do you?

I absolutely do want him out there because his ceiling is high.

I see PH & DH rotate at clearing of the bench time & the kid just isn't getting any reps.

He appears to be getting reps based on his spot in the OF depth chart. Clearly the coaches have him behind other guys.

You don’t think he’s had the opportunity because you haven’t gotten to see him in games as much as you want to. The coaches see him in practice every day; they aren’t going to choose to not play a guy, just because. I think everyone would like to see Hampton get more time in games because of his ceiling both at the plate and in the field but the OF is stacked.

Gio CF
Morgan 1st
Crews RF
Doughty 2nd
Beloso DH
Dugas LF
Arnold SS
Millazo C
Thompson 3rd

Again, I love Hampton and his potential. At the same time he doesn’t deserve to be given anything. He needs to earn it. That starts at practice on the field, BP, hitting in the cages and working in the weight room. He obviously hasn’t done what has been asked. Like I said earlier, he needs to look in the mirror. If the coaches thought he was the best option then he would absolutely be on the field

It may not have anything to do with Hampton not doing enough. At the end of the day LSU is loaded with talent in the outfield. Dugas and Gio are both seasoned guys, Crews and Drost are both extremely talented freshman. He's just behind better baseball players at this point.

Yeah maybe he is lazy, he plays baseball & football and his work ethic is just horrible. A friend of mine saw him at working out with a trainer on the levy with a trainer stop to see if he was Jamar Chase.he was getting geared up for baseball. That peaked my interest even more. I'm done. 'Given to him"? Wow

Again, who should he be replacing in the lineup?

It’s fairly clear there is a personal connection here so I’m going to bow out after this post. Hampton’s ceiling is high and should he reach that potential, he’s certainly someone that can help this team win games. That however can also be said for every guy we have playing in the OF. The coaches aren’t going to sit a better option for no reason, regardless what some poster on the rant wants to believe.
