Dude seems lost at the plate. I know its a long season and he seems too good to stay in a slump long, but he seems to be our only hole in the lineup right now. And if it keeps up u might see mangum getting walked more

He was a really good hitter last year. He will figure it out. Teams have more tape on him now so I’m sure he is getting pitches that he struggled with last year

No.
Very early in the season and WAY too early to be worried about this.
Let’s see what happens during the next 7-8 games.

As others have noted we’re only four games but even in those four he’s crossed the plate 6 times (second on the team) and is tied for the team lead with 4 walks. Almost a quarter of the way to his season total of 21 from 2018. Way to early to worry about numbers and his aren’t really even bad.

Why would mangum being walked more be a bad thing?
He’s the lead off.
Get on base however you can.

He needs to learn to take walks. That's the last piece of his game that needs to be developed. If he does that, he'll get the draft day he deserves.

Bringing up his name and saying he

looks lost at the plate after 15 at bats is silly.

He’s 3 for 15 with 6 runs, 2 doubles and 2 rbis
Halter and Foscue are each 4 for 15 with 3 runs and 2 and 3 rbis respectively
Jake is 5 for 18

He’s not a hole in the lineup. Calm down

Well, when you put it like that... apparently we should be worried about more than just rowdy**

I'm more worried about him improving in LF than his bat. He made some freshmen mistakes last year that I'm hoping are gone

He’s 4th on team (only counting starters) in OBP. There are more ways to impact the game than getting hits. Getting on base is what matters.

If Westburg continues to hit the ball like he has, rowdy is going to benefit greatly from hitting right in front of him, which is another reason I don’t care what his batting average is. Just keep getting on base with Westburg coming up to bat.

Yesterday, the majority of our lineup was a hole. Just glad they had Ashcraft on a pitch count or we might still be looking for a hit. Playing USM this weekend will be a big test to see where our offense really is. Hopefully Ashcraft was just really on yesterday.

He sure looked on. Was hitting corners on both sides of the plate with 3 pitches. Baseball is hard.

We seem to be starting slow at the plate, but when we catch fire, we REALLY catch fire. The 1st guy for Youngstown had us baffled into the 6th inning. I hope we wake up early ready to get hits and score runs against USM.

Anyone “worried” abt rowdey? No not after 4 games. Dumbe question at this point.

Seems “lost” at the plate? Dumb statement at this point considering he’s getting on base and hit some good balls.

You are snow flaking here.

You got your feelings hurt because you posted a stupid comment and everyone disagreed with you, but everyone else is the snowflake. Perhaps you should re-examine what a snowflake is.

Concern after four games is why people are laughing at you.

This is a common problem.

If you feel the need to lash out with name calling, odds are you're insecure about people disagreeing with you.

Hey, pusscake, is it so bad these days to eat some crow and admit your opinion may be a little hasty?

I think most of the posters here have slipped up and made a post they were called out on. Most go on without getting pissed.

Looks like he may have improved. The problems I referred to last season were all bad angles he took on balls hit his way. THat was a heck of a catch he just made.
