I?m all for giving him a break get it together, but he has to hit too.

I?m all for giving him a break get it together, but he has to hit too.
Sorry should have put under current thread
How many strikeouts and rollovers is he? Especially with runners in scoring position?
I get that, but hopefully this is temporary and he gets back to productivity
I agree. I'd like Hunter to get right and make lemonis keep him in the lineup
Nope, we are a better team with him watching. We have lacked the depth to replace him in years past. Now we have the depth to move on.
He gets the bench again today it looks like.
I'm shocked. Thought Lemonis would pencil him in. But I'm ok with it. He's a hole in our lineup right now.
I'm not. Lemonis needs to get his point across. Hines is either putting too much pressure on himself or he is being a selfish player. I don't know which is which or if it is a combination of the two.
If it's too much pressure the hopefully Hines sees that we have others who can play and step up and therefore we don't need him to hit a baseball 500 feet every time up.
If it's a being selfish issue then we are showing him that he is going to have to be a team player to play.
That may be but if that happens he will sit again. He would be incredibly dumb to do that as I am 100% sure that Lemonis and Gautreau are going to work with him and make it very clear what he has to do to get back in the lineup. His Dad was a great hitter in college and that's sort of what is so confusing about this whole situation to me because I find it hard to believe that his Dad is teaching him to pull everything.
I?m not gonna try to read any more into it than what the kid has shown. He has been unable or unwilling to adapt and it?s hurting the team, period. For the past couple of years there was not another choice and now we have options. What his daddy did or does has zero relevance to the current situation. We shouldn?t care if his daddy was Babe Ruth, this one is a hole in the lineup right now.
I see the same selfish pull hitter who can?t reach anything on the outer half. He?s never in a hitter?s count because he?s so predictable.
I think he?s in a A little slump.
I see people saying he has the wrong approach.
It?s not like his approach has been unsuccessful. Quite the opposite.
