Neither can Gilbert. Saw him in action in Biloxi where he had no business behind the plate

There's A reason Skelton is catching and it's not because he's good. We don't keep throwing him out there because he's a stud it's because we think Gilbert sucks. Period. Henderson isn't stupid. He wants to win more than people here.

The best move is to get Stovall in at Catcher IMO. Move Westburg to 2nd and Foscue back to 3rd. Skelton is hitting .191 Gilbert is .217 .

Henderson put us behind the 8 ball the second he filled out the lineup card tonight. Every coach wants to win, but that doesn't mean some of them don't make stupid decisions.

I don't know more about cooking than an expert Chef, but I know what tastes good.

Henderson knows more about baseball than me, but he's made a couple of DUMB ASS decisions tonight. Aight?

Discussing baseball w you is a waste of my time. I'll pass in the future.

You don't really discuss anything. You just say trust the coaches. There's a good board I can direct you too.

Yes...he does. Or so it seems.

Is this not the full premise of sports message boards - we all know more than the coach

[HoopsDawg]

Attaboy LA, that was a bomb.

I don't know why people don't get this.

If Gilbert is any worse than Skelton, we are wasting a scholarship on Gilbert. I find it hard to believe that Gilbert is that much worse. I mean Skelton is batting under .190 and is an average catcher at best.

Well, if you are going to start Skelton, you absolutely have to pinch hit for him there and let Gilbert catch the last 3 innings.

There is no reason Skelton should have hit in that AB.

I agree we are wasting a scholarship on Gilbert but there's nothing anyone can do right now. And I disagree about Skelton- he's not average. He's bad.

I'm fine with moving Stovall behind the plate- that's probably the best solution that we have right now.

I wish someone would ask him why we don't do it?

Stovall is the best defender we have so we move him and get no better at catcher. He's 5'7". You don't catch at 5'7" your blocking frame is next to nothin. So you've made second way weaker and catcher the same. Net loss. We suck. But it's because we can't hit. Period

He was Gatorade player of the Year in Alabama as a catcher. He was rated highly by Perfect Game as a catcher. He caught a little as a freshman and he even caught a couple of innings last year. Height is not that big of a deal if you have the quickness to block balls. The biggest issue with this team is WE CAN'T SCORE RUNS. I promise you, Foscue, Westburg or Allen can play 2nd base. We have to figure out a way to get another bat in the game or we are looking at 4-26 in the SEC.
