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!

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.
Should he be taking called thirds? No. Yet he went 2-4. In his first at bat he hit a bullet over the 2B bag and then intentionally hit behind the shift for a second base hit. The prior game he went 3-5 with 6 RBI.
Interesting…call out threads ain’t the kind of slumpbuster that was prevalent back in my day, but if it works that’s great…and a lot safer.
I still think he’s going to hit. He’s showing signs with some of the line drives he’s hit lately but not hot yet. I’m not going to predict anything because while I’m not superstitious I am a little stitious when it comes to baseball.

Maybe others know more… but not really sure where he’d go. His draft prospects have to be literally slipping by the minute. He’s hitting .275, has only 8 HR’s, slugging percentage of only .450, and an obp of .365. Sorry, but that’s a dime a dozen in college baseball. And he’s a Jr. Not really sure why he hasn’t improved CONSISTENTLY the last two years… Its pretty crazy how down of a year he’s having. Imagine how everyone would feel about our prospects right now if he was just producing at the level of his last two year averages (not even his late season tears)?!?
Gallaher is a top 100 draft prospect. The draft isn't just based on your college stats. They know he can hit.
