Hopefully we'll see Fontenot back at dh this weekend. Stover doesn't hit much but he's a plus plus defender at 1B.
(LSU) Lochridge .229 12-10 35 10 8 3 0 2 10 17 .486 4 2 9 0 .318 3 0 0-0
Hunter
.230 46-46 183 22 42 8 3 3 31 65 .355 7 8 36 0 .285 2
As a freshman Lockridge hit as well at LSU as Kasuls is hitting now (average) and 5 of his 10 hits were for extra bases (2 HR and 3 doubles) with a slugging % 130 points higher and OB percentage of 30 points higher.
I say give him another chance.

And that's fair.
But I'm still going with Fontenot at DH and Stover at 1B.

How is he even on the team? Was he hitting everything thrown at him last fall and now he can't win a sorority house pillow fight? WTF. Can you imagine the scrubs they actually cut?
How have we turned into the absolute worst assessors and coaches of offensive talent ever, except MAYBE St. Peters.?
Re: Cajun Corner "Baseball 2018"
Well I think we underestimate the pressure these hitters went threw the first month of the season. If u listened to Lahare on Robes show the other night he made mention of how rough it was because everyone was struggling at one time. We all know hitting is more mental than physical. And when you have 7,8,9 guys all struggling at once....the best coach in the world can’t fix that. A lineup with one or two guys in the tank is fixable. And entire line up struggling...there is a whole lot of looking around for the answers. And that’s where the pressure begins to build.

So they are all tulips. Wonderful. They didn't volunteer for combat in eastern Afghanistan, like John Coker. It's a baseball game.

Im not disagreeing about that. But everyone we inserted in the lineup at every position we were looking for answers basically failed. So we are playing with guys that are the lesser of two evils

Then, we have a recruiting problem. It's either that or a coaching issue.

Or both.
Re: Cajun Corner "Baseball 2018"
At this point, with everything this team has been through, whatever happens.....happens.
I can see it going either of these ways:
-Team finishes poorly and gets booted from the conference tournament early
-Team goes on a good run to finish the season AND makes a strong showing in the tournament which gets them a postseason regional bid. And who knows what can happen from there. Fresno State was in that same position in 2008, and ended the season as National Champions. Crazier things have happened.
