Dude. Piss or get off the pot. .260 with 30 rbi isn’t cutting it.

Thought he’d for sure be gone to the draft after this year….looking more and more unlikely at this point
Agree.
This is just the thread he needs!
This is just the thread he needs!
He needs to move out of the 2 hole but who do we have to put there? Do we just move everybody up and stick him at 5th?
I’m not sure I like Coop in the 2 hole. I don’t know what the answer is
Need to dump the LRL and put our best hitters in order. I do love Hull in the 3 hole.
We are 35-8!

He needs to keep hitting 2 hole. Just needs to round into form for the stretch run. I’m not worried about him.
Haha. Everyone on this team gets pitched straight up without worry! His struggles have nothing to do with “protection”…. He’s not seeing pitches well at all (does not seem to be recognizing pitch type out of the hand at all, is watching good ones go by and swinging at others he shouldn’t be. Dare I say he looks a lot like Vance did up there a lot of his time here without the pop or speed. Seems to be a late bloomer each year, but I feel like this is worse before the rise and later before it starts.
I would switch him and Cooper in the batting order. We don’t sacrifice anyway. And Cooper actually runs pretty well.
Love your posts and input. However, Hull hits behind him and has been our best hitter lately not named Jake. Teams are actually challenging him. He doesn’t walk much.
Extended slumps are awful. I credit GG for not taking bad ABs to the field with him. Shows a lot of maturity on his part. Since we don’t have a clear cut option for the two hole I’d be inclined to leave him there and let him try to work through it, see if he can regain his confidence and get hot heading to the postseason. He’s proven that he can carry the club offensively for multiple series and he will likely be the primary determining factor in how far our season goes.
It looks to me like Gavin is swinging for the fences on every swing. He pops up a lot which tells me he's over swinging. Needs to go with the pitch more often.
20% of his season rbi total in 1 game. Pretty productive call-out thread.
Some how these things seem like they are batting 1.000
Last year there was more power behind him . Bass and Stoke where older players ( not mlb talent) but could leave the yard this year hull is a good player and mlb pick but doesn't hit a lot of homers and Winslow is a great prospect as a catcher but is a work in progress as hitter as well and could really develop into a power hitter later but without a big bat behind you can pitch him differently.
