Position changes are all about PT and confidence. You WILL suck when you move for about 5-6 games. Practice and drills just can't simulate what you see and feel during the game, no matter how many reps you take. But, quality players will adjust and will gain confidence the more they play and gain the comfort they need to play the position. Hines hasn't been charged with an error since game 3.

That's why you let players with talent work their way thru issues. Every year someone starts slow and idiots start calling for them to get benched. Well Hines again shows why you don't react and bench talent for no reason.
A bunch on this board wanted to bench Rowdy every year! Lolz

Every single year! Baseball is just such a different sport and you have to let good players get through the slumps because they will happen and a lot of folks don't get that.

I really feel like he is Brent Rooker kinda special and many of our fans don't realize it yet.

He's getting there for sure. He has massive power and tremendous bat speed. Once he starts going oppo more he's really gonna be a terror.

You probably thought Cumbest was a really good hitter

Yes you did hear that and then he proceeded to trying to pull every single pitch. I watched every at bat on his current streak leading up to the first Kentucky game. He hasn?t tried going the other way a single swing. He has been extremely lucky pitchers have made the mistake throwing him something middle in almost in every at bat.
In SEC play, no SEC pitcher should come in on him but go outer half and off speed a bunch. If they do that effectively and Hines is up there like a gorilla, his hot streak is going to end with a bunch of weak contact fly outs. Dude needs to commit to driving the ball to the oppo gap. But he won?t.

Babe Ruth never had to face down 130 pitchers in a season that can throw hard cutters and 97 mph fastballs.

I would not tell a guy averaging .400 and 2 RBIs a game over his last 8 games to change his approach. Maybe once pitchers adjust, but not yet. We have no issue getting runners on base, but we absolutely can't seem to drive them in except for Hines.

Him and Clark are still the exact same players they were. Maybe even better at being the exact same pull a solo HR to RF or K players. Hines is no doubt our best hittter right now. My point wasn?t that he sucks, it?s that just like this team nothing has changed

He is better at doing exactly what he did last year. There is nothing on this team worth patting on the back
