I think there is some confusion here about fat chicks and fat little girl friends.

Might be he struggled up at the Cape because is little girl friend was back here enjoying her summer and the 19 year old focus wasn?t on baseball.

Anyway, I think we need to merge the thread about Yoga Pants and fat little girlfriends.

So we're putting fat little girlfriends in yoga pants. That's a stretch!!!!!!

I think people are remembering his performance last year with some maroon colored glasses. He had some huge hits and showed flashes of his talent, but while there were promising signs, it's not like he had settled in as a hitter and clearly had things figured out. He still looked lost some at bats, even while looking good at others. Based on the fact that he hit sub .200 in cape cod, I think maybe he just hasn't figured things out yet and and he just happened to have some good luck at the end of last year. Hopefully I am wrong, but wrong or right, I do think it's just a matter of time. But it may be he's still figuring things out to begin with, not trying to break out of a slump.

I never said he was an all CWS tourney team member, but if you think we would have won that title last year without him you are mistaken. This kid was a true freshman starting at MSU in Omaha. He hits one of the biggest and most clutch home runs in MSU history against Virginia. So you say he got lucky, that is on you for thinking that. Luck doesn?t keep you in that MSU lineup with Lem. Lem saw the talent he possesses and trusted him enough to keep running him out there every day in Omaha. Those of you being negative ask yourself this, where were you at 18 years old, I know I for one wasn?t in a starting lineup in Omaha. This kid will find his swing, he is a ball player. It will figure itself out.

He has a good swing and is young. He will work it out. McGowan pushing him will force him to work overtime to fix shit. If he keeps pressing then McGowan will play until he proves he cant handle it

This is exactly what it boils down too. Well said.

[Offshore Dawg]

Dude is still a young man and the posters on this thread really have no idea what is going on in his life thus in his head. You must think quick with a clear hear when shit is flying at you at 91 to 93 MPH.

This is just stupid. Who has said anything that would even imply anything like this?

I didn't say he was in the lineup because he was lucky. I pointed out that he showed his talent last year. I'm just pointing out that people are talking about sports psychologists because a guy that his.237 or whatever last year and .190 in the cape cod league hasn't racked up hits through a handful of games. It seems more likely to me that it's not that he's suddenly lost his mojo; he's just still a true sophomore that hasn't figured things out yet and probably just needs to keep getting at bats.

Your comment about maroon colored glasses implied that some of us were only remembering what we want to see or remember. My all CWS comment was expounding on my reasoning. I never said YOU said that. And if you think my comment of us not winning it all without Clark last year is stupid that is on you. Without him we would not have gotten past Virginia. Maroon colored or not that is fact.

Correct - there is nothing more legit than Omaha. He torqued two MLB draft picks in high-stakes moments.

Both of yall get baseball. No hitter does that in Omaha without Elite Talent.

If I were him, I would simplify. I would go up there looking fastball away fastball in? That?s it. Anything else I just pass. If I strike out looking fine.

I'm guessing this is part of his problem. I'm sure he's not missing anything offspeed entirely because he's looking for those. 'Anything else I just pass' means you can recognize offspeed pitches, and most hitters struggle with exactly that. If it was easy enough to just sit fastball and lay off everything else, everyone would be Barry Bonds.

[cheewgumm]

You?re right I agree with that.

Hopefully he?s already doing that.

Rouge would disagree completely. It's simple. Or so he says, smdh.....But you're right. I'm sure that's what he's doing and just can't pick it up. And when he does get a fastball, which isn't often, he's missing it. So are kits of others.

Sometimes you can get into a batting slump. I know that firsthand from my playing days.

[Chuck3124]

Imo I think he?s gotten a bad case of the Yips in his swing. Seems to be yanking his head out of his swing every time to me anyways

I will be happy when he gets hit #1 this season. Try a drag bunt or something.
Crap-o-la.
