better this year? He hit about .333 preconference last year...he is currently hitting .185. He is far worse this year and hasnt even faced SEC pitchers yet. He is def as bad as I have said he has beenQuote:

I dont know or keep up with all the advanced stats shit at the plate that 7 can tell you but hes not as bad as you say he is. Hes a plus on D too. I can agree if their is a better bat he deserves a chance but LA aint garbageQuote:

He is every bit as bad as I have said if not worse. I'll bet a night with your wife/girlfriend he doesnt hit .230 in SEC play. You game?
There is no reason to argue with C34. The only stat he knows in baseball is batting average. C34 determines player value by looking at strictly batting averageQuote:

We just don't have the pop in our lineup. We need a couple Rooker/Renfro class bats in the lineup and we just don't have anyone like that or anyone headed in that direction. Hopefully, by the time the Vandy series rolls around, things will be a little more settled. I don't think we'll make the Dance, but if we do.....then Henderson should be our new coach.....if he really wants to. That would be an amazing feat just to get us into the Dance at all.Quote:

He has 2 RBIs tonightQuote:

If he has a bad attitude and is hurting the team maybe but I don’t think this is the case.
If LA can just hit .255, play a good ss, and find other ways to get on base and contribute offensively I?d take that at this point. Hope he can.
He also made a few other nice plays at SS as well in addition to the one that you are referring to.Quote:

There’s a reason you don’t get a batting title or win a trophy for OBP. People expect you to hit the damn baseball at some pointQuote:

Our OL wore armbands that told them to block right or block left depending on the number called out because they couldn’t remember the plays. We played 7 playoff teams and beat 2 of them. The top 2 teams in our district played for the North title.Quote:

It is early in the season. I think Alexander will hit around 250 with an above average glove. 34, I hope you have a winning year next year. But it makes you look like a shithead to continue with the stupid foambat moniker. It's like you are pulling for a Bulldog player to play bad. Surely you are better than that. Criticize if you want but you are way over the line. Just saying.
Lil off topic, but why do you think diwun black won?t pan out? Not disagreeing, just curious your thoughts.Quote:

He is pulling for that. He pulled against hump the whole year, and is still pulling against renfroeQuote:

Ive said all along FoamBat can’t hit SEC pitching- and he cant
i said I didn’t think Renfroe’s bat could keep him on MLB a full season- and to date- it hasn’t.
Just prove me me wrong and u can boast. Until then- eat shit
Such a contradiction in your last 2-3 posts.
elaborate Mr Troll?Quote:
