He threw the ball off the base. It was a bad throw. Hatcher is not playing well but you’re an idiot.

Are you rugb?

That ball was close enough to the bag. Hatcher did not have to come off the bag there. A stretch and he could've caught it.

calling Hatcher "worthless" made me go to the google machine..

Mickey Mantle had an 0-20 slump in 1960, and Willie Mays had an 0-24 slump in 1965 (but still won the MVP).

Im not making any judgements ...Lemonis is paid to do that. But thought this was interesting.

He probably just needs to go the The Landing or Crossroads and find a SlumpBuster.

And neither ever hit in the .190s like Hatcher.

I was expecting this reply. My point was not to compare Mantle to Hatcher, but to point out, even the greatests of all time had slumps.

He has 1 hr and 9 ribbues on the season where he was hitting mainly cleanup for a good portion of the season. There is much more wrong than just this slump. Zero production.

If they are staying in Auburn tonight I recommend Skybar.

I’m all for letting proven guys hit out of slumps, but damn. Let Cumbest play in right one game and Allen at 1st. Let him take a day off and see if it helps mentally

If they feel like they have to keep him in the defensive lineup (which is a little puzzling to me), then at least move him to the 9 hole. Having a sub .200 hitter in the 6 hole seems ridiculous to me, even for a light hitting team.

Yeah, I have no problem with calling for Hatcher to come out of the lineup. I just don’t like someone calling him worthless and garbage like rugb has all night.

At some point its no longer a slump. He just is who he is. I mean we've played 29 games now and only have 25 games left in the regular season. Roughly 30 games into a college baseball season is past the slump phase.

A person identifying herself as a fan and calling one of our players worthless is a pitiful excuse for a human being. If ignorance is bliss, the girl who made the original post has to be the happiest person on earth. Poor, poor take. These kids are representing a university-they aren’t playing Major League Baseball. I’m embarrassed by you and for you.

You said this better than I could’ve.

Agree. Josh could strike out 100 times in a row, and he still wouldn’t be as bad at hitting as these people are at being fans. They aren’t providing any insight to anyone about baseball or this team with these threads. They are just showing us what bad fans they are. I feel sorry for them and the people that know them.

Yeah man, those places are like, closed. But I concur. He just needs some strange from a Montana 6. I can see if my ex wife is available.

Didn’t he double in our midweek game this week?

Maybe he’s 0 for whatever in his last SECatbats?

Im tired of seeing him play too. Some form of McGowan, Cumbest, and Pimentel would be a fine experiment with me. You can always let TA play first and move the OF around to accommodate.

This. I can’t imagine if my son was a player

and coming to a Mississippi State message board and reading a post where a fan called him worthless. Edit to add: Just saw the thread calling him total garbage. As if one insult wasn’t enough. Grow up.

Lots of different people have lots of different opinions.

Sometimes, people say things before they think it out.

Sometimes, people are ********.

Sometimes, a baseball player starts the first 29 games of the season, get 102 ABs, hits .196 and has 9 RBIs.

Sometimes, life is tough . . . and we all have to deal with it . . . this includes me, you and Josh Hatcher.

Forgot about McGowan. Wasn’t be getting starting nods at the beginning of the season? Just put TA at first and I don’t care. You’d think Clark could play right if he can handle 3rd
