I would kill to have an AB type player

No one has blamed him for our record. And u answered ur own question earlier. There are 13 other SS in this league better than him.
Team LA keeps telling everyone how good he is and give him time. And we all keep waiting for him to do something , anything and it hasn’t happened yet.
Told y?all during opening weekend this team was not good and was not going to be good. Got called out for it. Doesn?t matter who is coaching. Upper classmen have an extremely low ceiling.
One day y?all are going to learn to listen to what Confucius say.
Bottom line and will get off Belmont.
But if your the Miss State baseball program , you can not run out the worse or one of the worse SS in the SEC unless that kid is a freshman.
Our program is a damn mess. John Cohen better deal with it.
I'm not going to get into the LA stuff- but the fact of the matter is we lost because we started a pitcher who has an ERA of over 30 and he get lit up again. And if we started Keegan James we have a better chance of winning the game. No matter what LA or anyone else did or didn't do at the plate.
This team is going to have issues hitting because of all of the freshmen- so I'm not going to sit here and say that offense isn't an issue. Because it is.
That said we do have some pitchers who have performed this year. We've got to throw those guys more and Leibelt and Neff a whole lot less. Especially with us lacking offense like we are. They've gotten their chances and they haven't performed and they need to sit until they figure it out. We need France to be in the rotation, Billingsley to go back into the bullpen, Keegan needs to be the midweek guy, Cole Gordon Blake Smith, Riley Self, and Denver McQuary need to be used the most. Pilkington and Small keep their spots in the rotation.
That Mingione recruiting rearing its ugly head
Bench Belmont. Opens up a spot to put Allen who may be our best pure hitter. Then that opens the DH spot.
Use Jordan, Anderson, Macnamee, Vansau in the 2 OF spots and DH. One of the FR playing in one of those 4 spots at all times. See what shakes there. Hopefully it’s the 2 FR winning 2 of 3 spots and Mac and Vansau platoon.
Watch Westburg...if the OF/DH group above doesn’t produce move Allen to Lf, Stovall back to 2nd, and put Westburg at SS.
Mangum in CF, although it wouldn’t kill me to bench his ass at some point bc he gets himself out swinging at everything, Hatcher at 1b and Foscue at 3b should be everyday constants.
Let Gilbert and Skelton fight it out.
Oh and fire Poole as our ****ing 1b coach. He almost allowed Stovall to get back picked from CF on his single bc he didn’t say shit about the CF coming up and throwing behind him. If you’re gonna stand in the coaching box Tanner then ****ing do something while you’re there.
Time to go young already and it’s obvious.
