I don?t think the line up order is doing us any favors. We need a legit lead off man... Someone needs to step up. Rowdey isn?t it. He is too streaky.
Furthermore, our approach at the plate sucks sometimes. We let fastballs right down the plate go by, then swing at a slider in the dirt. I just don?t understand. When we had 1st and 3rd With no outs, we had a chance to end them. We score some runs there, it?s over. We didn?t. Rowdey has a shit approach and then Westburg had an even shittier one. After that, it was like we lost all hope. We made errors and went back to the horrible plate approach.
I do think we pull it together at some point. The season is young. LBSU wasn?t wry good, but they were gritty. They made you pay when you made a mistake.
Now I will say, Foscue had two balls, Rowdey had one, and Hatcher had one today that if we are home or any other SEC park, those balls are long gone. That changes the game a lot.
I don?t know whether JG or Lemonis is coaching the hitting, but whichever is, we need to try the other guys approach. Lemonis was suppose to really good hitting coach along with recruiter. Something isn?t working and we need a change this year. We need someone to coach them and not treat them like the majors and let them figure it out, cause they ain?t figuring it out alone...
Now on a side note, the umps were complete shit. I mean COMPLETE shit. Cerentola was getting agitated on the mound. We was having strikes called balls all day. He even threw his hands up a couple times and was like where was that?! Even on Pimentel, he was three steps Sade at first... That wasn?t even close!!
But hey, that?s baseball. Adapt and overcome...
