It’s bad. He’s not a good college hitter. But I don’t really care about power from my 9 hitter
We did the same song and dance last year. He’s just not good enough to play everyday. No other program is playing a guy this bad at the plate everyday. It puts way too much pressure on the top 6-7 guys to lead the offense.

French's first error on the season....big one, but first one of the year. Coupled with the run saving catches he's made.....
He’s 43% worse than the average D1 bat. And we’re playing him everyday. He’s a great defender and there’s a role for him on the team, but everyday corner outfielder can’t be it.

Folks tend to be great pointing out problems....what's your solution? This isn't the pros where you can go sign a free agent......

If all things are equal, I'm playing the guy that makes plays in the field, especially as a 9 hole hitter.

If you've followed all season, that spot has been a revolving door all year. Yes, French gets the majority of the innings now, but they've literally tried most everyone out there. And French brings the best defense.

I didn’t realize Dook and Durham was such an intimidating team and place to play. Making this way too easy for a very average team. Gotta wake up, Herls.

I’m choosing positive vibes. Let’s throw up a zero and let Lynch lead a pow-wow in the dugout between innings

Sowers and Nunez? Hargett? Literally anybody that’s shown a pulse at the plate.

Show me another team in the top 8 with a bat as bad as Carter playing everyday.

Hargett and Sowers both have OPS lower than French’s.

Oregon State and Florida both have multiple guys with 20+ starts with sub-.700 OPS. Not as bad as French’s.

I just made the dumb mistake of looking at dook’s record. Yikes. There’s plenty of game left, but we have got to get some runs ASAP, and let’s get to their bullpen. I believe, but it would be awesome if we could do something here.
