Some baseball thoughts

[StarkVegasSteve]

Multiple very hard line drives this weekend, just finding too many gloves. Watch the games

Hatcher is 2-24 with 2 RBIs and 6 Ks in his last 6 games. What game are you watching that you could possibly think he still needs to be in the lineup?

Watch the damn games. He's one of the few that can get the ball to jump off the bat.

Yesterday here is Hatcher's AB's
1st - ground ball up the middle to move the runner over. Did his job! You goons see that as "0-1"
2nd - smokes a grounder right at the 1B. A couple feet either way and it's a hit.
3rd - K. It happens
4th - frozen rope liner to opposite field that gets caught.

All you morons see is "0-4 dang he sux". Watch the damn game.

I've watched every inning of SEC ball. Go through his 5 AB's Friday night for us when he had the hat trick. It's not about yesterday's 0-4. It's his 4/35 in SEC play and batting .200 thats the problem. Hell- he was hitting .259 OOC so it wasnt like he was killing it before SEC play got going. He is only player on the team that has had 5 or more AB's that has an OBP less than .300

2/9 vs E. Michigan
2/9 vs Kent State
2/12 vs Tulane

6/30 in those 3 series- which is what he is hitting now- .200

Yesterday here is Hatcher's AB's
1st - ground ball up the middle to move the runner over. Did his job! You goons see that as "0-1" It was a 2-1 count and he chased a ball low and away well off the plate when he need something to pull to move the runner over. He got that pitch at 2-0 and barely got a piece to foul it off. That was the one and he missed it, again. He did enough to do a job when he flicked his wrist at the last minute but that could have easily been a pop out to short. Which could have lead to Tanner doubled up and losing that run. SS was playing right up the middle. He would have been better off by far going with the pitch and hitting it through that big hole with the shift they had on. But the result you are pimping is from a horrible AB. It was a terrible AB with a workable outcome. That’s using a lucky result from a piss poor example of an AB and a terrible swing
2nd - smokes a grounder right at the 1B. A couple feet either way and it's a hit. Yeah it was hit hard but a dead pull. It was an easy play for the 1st baseman and with that ball location with his swing it was was going to be a ground ball to either going to first or foul. The 1st baseman was on the line and he hit it straight to him.
3rd - K. It happens
4th - frozen rope liner to opposite field that gets caught.Was his best swing by far and great contact. On time and took the pitch where he needed. No question. Happening basically 2-3 times this series doesn’t overcome the 85% of his AB’s that were not good and haven’t been good for a while now. But that was good contact

All you morons see is "0-4 dang he sux". Watch the damn game.

You are trying too hard. Again, not saying permanently bench, I’m saying he needs to get right and benching him at this point is the best option if we can at all possible.

ETA. He is hitting .114 in SEC play and there are only 2 qualifying players with a lower average. Only 2. Don’t want to wait for him to be dead last before making changes.

I spit my drink out laughing at this.... Hatcher couldn't hit a beach ball right now.

Dude might eventually figure it out, but he needs several games on the pine.

Clark is supposedly going to start tomorrow at 1B.
