Robe Signee Off To Hot Start

[CajunVic]

I don't think a verdict can immediatly be drawn when new a (coaching) system slows down here to fore hitting machines.

Classic thread hijack. I don’t think we drawing anything about the coach or where anyone on the team will end up. Until 5 gets rolling, others should get a pass and hope also.

In many cases, Deggs takes attitude over talent. Don’t confuse the player with the guy. They are not the same thing.

Even with that, the kid can hit.

With all due respect, how can you possibly know that? Guys that hit in high school, the fall at a D1, or at a JUCO doesn’t mean a thing when it comes to hitting in actual D1 games.

There are thousands of examples. I’m not saying this kid cant...but its impossible to say he can until he has.

[sportsfanatic21]

The kid can hit. The rest of his game is in question.

The current DH is 5-42 (.119) with 15 strikeouts.

[Turbine]

If a kid can hit at his respective level, you can say with 100% clarity "The kid can hit."

That statement is not a projection.

Sorry TURBINE but this seems to indicate a projection to D 1.

This is coming from the guy that told us Connor Kimple can hit.

Not only "can hit" but "the best hitter on the team." I guess we will see. Lots of baseball to play.

I would not say his game is in question at all. The kid was offered by an SEC school and would probably be on their roster today had he gone. Over the last few weekends Dupuy and Windham have been in and out of the lineup, this kid is no doubt better defensively, than anyone who has been in the line up, when they are not in. And probably could bring more to the plate than both. He just got caught up in a numbers game. I know specifics about his exit interview and transfer but won't make them public. I am pretty sure he will be invited back here. I’ll be curious to see what he does.

Sorry TURBINE but this seems to indicate a projection to D 1.

The statement was in response to:

Also have to remember this is Juco D II pitching. His batting average is .387. The team barring average is .389. This is after 17 games.

You didn't mention D1 and the reply didn't mention D1.

It read to me like "the kid can hit."

You conveniently left out "even with that" - the kid can hit.

The team those gaudy numbers were put up on last week has a team ERA right under 10. Really bad Juco D II pitching.

[Big Poppa]

We have lots of kids on our roster right now that hit Juco pitching pretty darn well last year. Not sure this really means anything other than nice to see a local kid doing well where he has landed. Hope he continues to do well at LSUE and ends up back here as a star after finishing there.

Just admit it you hate the kid because of the high school he went to.
