Cajuns vs Tigers

No. On all points. You don't know this kid, obviously.

I love the way you know so much about me Jay. If I'm wrong on all points, then what's going on? And don't say it's a slump.. That's a cop out.

Tros has had 74 official at bats, thats not counting 13 bb and 7 hbp. He leads the team at being in the batters box.

You do realize that the even the best hitters in MLB slump all the time, baseball is very hard, specifically hitting. It's not a cop out. It can be overthinking, it can frustration, it can be lack confidence. Sometimes that's all it is.

I didn't say I know a lot about you. I said you don't know a lot about Trosclair.

I, unlike you, don't jump to conclusions. I'm not sure what It is. BUt in this particular case, I know what it isn't.

Why did Strentz leave last year after not even being drafted? Was he kinda forced out by Robe or did he hate going to class? He doesn't have major league stuff and could've really helped us this year.

According to Strentz's brother, he was going to quit playing if he would not have gotten drafted (or signed) after 2014 season. He was ready to move on.

Do we even have a backup/utility catcher?

According to Robe at the last Diamond Club meeting, it is Trosclair. It was Joe Robbins, but he tweaked his nonthrowing thumb catching bullpen. So Robbins is out as emergency catcher and Trosclair is in. Apparently, Trosclair played a little catcher in JUCO.

I'm not going to argue with your opinion, because you are entitled to it. Stefan entered our lineup last year and solidified the defense. He was stellar for the majority of the year. This year has been the complete opposite. That is not evidence of a slump. That is evidence of getting in your own way mentally. I'm aware of the difficultly of the game.

Interesting..

Funny thing is, that opinion was born during recent conversation. I just so happened to be standing next to Stef's high school coach at the McNeese game. Terry Burrows and Charlie Phillips were also chatting and if you know your history, you know that those guys are pretty familiar with Trosclair. Those gentlemen almost verbatim echoed what I just posted. I'd think those guys know Trosclair and his "on field" persona a lot more than you do..

There's nothing wrong with saying something doesn't fit a guys personality. I wouldn't want to be in his position. Not all players are suited for all roles in the clubhouse.

You, just like everyone here, are prone to jumping to conclusions, as you just did. You fired off that I was WRONG, and provided no context or opinion. Just couldn't wait to tell me how wrong I am.

Eavesdropping? Maybe it was said by them for your benefit.

Found this little gem. Didn't go the way the dude was hoping.
