There is a few guys that are talented enough to hit for average and have some power. But for Most of these guys, they are average college hitters at the moment. Nothing more or less.

If RJ was at State for 4 years seeing sec pitching, that dude would be a well rounded hitter. Hancock and James can hit for avg with some power. However Hines, Cumbest, Clark, Tanner ... they will never be Tony Gwynn or Jeffrey Rea. They are big guys with big swings. Doesn't matter who the hitting coach is.

In case you haven’t noticed Mule hits 300 with power.

Who do you want with more at bats—Luke and Logan or Clark and Mule? I’ll take the 2 that might hit a homer.

I agree ... but the same could be said for our SS position ... I'm sure it's not easy when platooning for either guy to find a groove ... at least Lemonis is giving one of those players more playing time to try and work it out - but it isn't the one with better power numbers - the other has NO POWER hits

Been saying it all year. His swing has gotten some bad habits. First of all his back leg is stepping out of the bucket which is leading to his backside dropping. This is why he?s hitting so many lazy pop flies and roll over ground balls to the pull side. That?s all you can really do with that swing unless you are late on a pitch out over the plate and make solid contact. Would think one of the paid baseball coaches could notice what a beer drinking fan at home with only one view of the game can see every game.

Eta. Also been saying put Slappy in 3-4 slot to increase his ABs and have Yeager on base for his bombs.

Who was it that called me out for saying Slappy could approach 25 HRs with some hitting coaching and would be a pretty good pro? He may approach 20 with the uncoached swing he currently has. I believe KP echoed those same words during last nights broadcast.

Same lineup today except Davis is in CF and James back to 3B.

Haha ... way to go yard Luke 😆

Need to jump on this pitcher early. He is not comfortable at all.

It can still be a quick inning even after the Elko homerun 😂

Done

This is unbelievable... have we ever given up three homers in a row? I'm going fishing

It's not humane to let this team continue.

So there are players that don’t stare dumbfounded at good pitches to hit.

Preston throwing batting practice. He isnt' dominant enough to get good hitters out when he leaves the ball up.
