I know he?s very good defensively but his struggles with that bat have got to be figured out. He?s having some of the most non-competitive at-bats. He really needs to get going for us to be very successful.

Kohler, catcher, and cupp basically make scoring at the bottom of the lineup immensely hard. I can't believe we went back to cupp after scoring double digits both games without him
Kohler and Long both contributed aginst lsu last weekend. Now cupp, great defender but bats just not there yet. Go back to the explosive lineup and let cupp get some work
midweek. We need every sec win we can get. Let's hope lemon goes back to the better lineup the rest of this weekend
ETA I was really surprised when he didn't stick with the lineup that was working. I would have
I agree with this. I’m a big Lemo guy. But I think it would have been wise to stick with what worksQuote:

He's young? He's a SR. Put Chance at DH and sit Cupp. It's not hard Lemons and give Stevens some ABs off the bench.Quote:

Then you can bat Stevens, Chance, or McKenzie as DH.
But Kohler is supposed to hit. He was a 330 hitter with 11 HR hitter at Memphis
Exactly, dude had a good bat at Memphis last year. Even if you shaved 50 points off the batting average and a few HRs for playing in the SEC now I would take a .280 hitter with 8 HRs from a really good defensive 3rd baseman. I'm concerned that shoulder injury he got early on is still nagging him at the plate.Quote:
