I hope somebody can come up with the magic link for the video that doesn't reset every 4 minutes.

I had better luck last night using my iPad. At least I didn't have to watch that intro every time.

It depends on if the Shriners/Astros feed will show it tonight, I checked it earlier and it's not streaming the Vandy game, hopefully it'll stream our game

He was. No hits, but 2 walks. His obp is .385... 4th on team and 3rd among those that have played every game

No reason to lose to LSU, we are a much better team than them imo. We just played like dog shit today. Peters never woke up for the day.

And Stovall is hitting at .316, but his obp is .333. Walks count. Luke needs to hit better; but if he can get on base at over a .350 clip, that is very valuable

Not in the 5 spot. You gotta drive runs in.

Also, I don't think ANYBODY is happy with Stovall's production right now, but we know he can do better.

He is hitting .316. That is plenty good enough. He needs to get on base in other ways too though hitting 2nd

It's not just about numbers. He had like 6 or 7 hits in a row. Other than that and last night's double, not much production.

There will be times when you just cannot buy a hit. That is why walks are important. Look at mangum and Stovall... in 82 PAs, they have 3 walks between them; that is 3.7% walk rate. Make fun of luke walking all you want, but he has a 15.4% walk rate (6 walks in 39 PAs). Getting on base helps produce runs

1st pitch?

exactly. 5-6 hole has to hit the ball. You wanna walk? Bat 8th or 9th

I agree with that. If Luke continues to struggle hitting, but can get on base, he needs to hit down in the order. If he cannot hit or walk, gotta sit him

The worst hitter should bat 7th or 8th IMO, that way you have someone to turn the lineup over to Mangum.

I'm not a Luke hater. I would love it if he started hitting. As the pitching gets better, you gotta hit. Guys that make good contact don't walk as much. Luke swings and misses a ton. Pitchers generally need to throw 3 strikes to get him out. SEC pitchers will have no problem doing that. He just has not shown me that he can hit.

I disagree with guys that make good contact don?t walk as much. The best hitters in the world usually have good walk rates to go with high slugging %

We're not talking MLB, and we're not talking the best hitters in the world. We're talking hitters that are facing less than top shelf pitching. Which, in general, is what we've seen so far.
