Forsythe shouldn't be playing

[sleepy dawg]

Forsythe is putting up one of the statistically worst seasons I've ever seen from a hitter. In 27 at bats he has 4 total bases. That of course gives him a slugging % of his batting average which is .148. I don't think I've ever seen a player continue to even get playing time with numbers that bad in the rare case there is even a player with numbers that bad. There isn't a fielder who's ever lived that can justify that person batting. At this point, it's very hard to believe that if he plays SS that we wouldn't be better off DHing him instead of the pitcher.

He's the SEC version of Pete Kozma.

[basedog]

He is still a very young player; Hope he continues to work at his hitting cause his fielding is outstanding.

People forget what he did in the CWS last year and not just with the glove. Give him a few more outings and let's see. It's not like Yeager is any better.

Yeager, who's probably our 2nd worst hitter has probably been about twice as good at the plate as Forsythe.

More times than not, Lemonis has been correct when waiting and letting a guy hit his way out of a slump. Clark was 0-16 at one point.

And also, literally nobody who cares about our baseball has forgotten what Forsythe did in the CWS last year. Overall though, that's been an anomaly to the rest of his entire career.

The thing is though, Forsythe doesn't appear to be in a slump like Clark. It just looks like this is the kind of hitter Forsythe is.

[Coach34]

Well Foreskin worked hard in the weightroom and got his weight up from 151 pounds to 153 pounds

[Schultzy]

We don’t even beat Campbell to get to the CWS and win the Natty if not for Forsyth.

Yeager has a grand total of 2 more hits than Forsythe.

[Apoplectic]

He?s had his chance- portal him

[sleepy dawg]

Yeager has a grand total of 2 more hits than Forsythe.

That's true... and 4 more runs and 5 more walks and more doubles and less strike outs.

Forsythe has an OPS of .348 and Yeager of .510. 1 is bad and the other is absolutely abysmal.

The biggest thing is that it doesnt look like Forsythe put in the work at the weight room or the batting cage since last June.

[Tater]

Lane has a higher OBP than Clark and Leggett FYI

[vv83]

and that is why he's out there

[SilentSteel16]

Yeah people don’t realize it but he has WON more games for us than he has lost in the 9hole slot. He is an exceptional SS. You get what you get in the box but his glove is MLB level, bat not so much. Great play by the young man though. I liked seeing Tepper come in under control …. That may be of note later in the year.

[Leroy Jenkins]

He makes plays in the field that no one else can. How many runs is that worth? I don't know, but if he saves a run or drives in a run the net result on the scoreboard is the same.

[SilentSteel16]

Like I said, he has won more games for us than lost. There were several in the CWS last year that he won from the infield dirt.

Seriously, is there any player on our roster that played last year that you can say is playing better this year? I feel like all of our players AND coaches have just taken vacation since last July. That's what it looks like anyway.

[Saltydog]

I rest my case.......He just won us this game........
