SEC Run Rule Totals
- Thread starter Seinfeld
- Start date
Two problems. Very little talent and very little coaching.
Aggy and Bama not being run ruled seems like a massive statistical anomaly. Neither team is very good.
We’ve only played 23 games, and one 1+ run loss wasn’t a run rule loss since we didn’t go down by 10 until the top of the 9th. That’s losing more than 25% of our games by 10+ runs.
Freaking unacceptable. Lemonis is just stealing money at this point.
Besides Jordan and maybe Hines, who on this roster actually has the talent to maybe one day make it to MLB?
I could have imagine it, but I thought the announcers the other night said Ledbetter may be a 1st Rounder.
Ledbetter, Jordan, Hines.
But the rest of the guys could most definitely win the midweek title

Ledbetter is also a midweek stat padder. He just occasionally has some good SEC gamesLedbetter, Jordan, Hines.

I get it. Just saying there are scouts there specifically to see him. Guessing they see something worthwhile
Yeah, that's what "they" say but the eye test to me tells me otherwise. I just don't see it. Good player, sure. Great players are drafted in the first round.
It does. I guess I can understand Bama because while they’re not great, their team ERA is just a hair over 4. It’s hard to get run ruled when your pitching isn’t giving up many runs.
A&M is a little weird though. At the end of the day, I guess bad teams lose, but it takes a special kind of train wreck to get run ruled like this on a regular basis
I don’t get why Hines would even get drafted, much less make MLB…. When you literally swing for the fences each swing, you’re gonna get some homers. Outside of that, I don’t get it at all.
Agree. It sounded like a move the Houston Texans front office would do if they were an MLB franchise.
Probably late 1st rounder. Chase rate is super low. Huge exit velo, he can steal bases, he nevers strays outside the SZ. Patient hitter, disciplined. Multiple exes have said Ledbetter will be at worst a 2nd rounder.
And add LSU to the run rule today. **** em. 1st series loss this year.
It’s nothing personal against the kid. But I don’t see how he made an SEC roster. And I can’t imagine why people are projecting him as making MLB, much less MiLB.
Hancock is about the same, but he’s had plenty of contributions for us. If there’s anybody on base and Hines is at bat, you know the odds are he’ll pop the hell out swinging for the fences at best. Many seem to disagree, but there’s a lot of value in just putting the ball in play instead of making very low percentage hits.
If you think putting the ball in play, weakly, beats hitting homers, lots of them. The OK.
Simple facts are Hines will make a nice signing bonus for his abilities as a player. He’ll go very high in the draft. Hancock will be playing his last games here in the next few weeks.
Teams will also be lined up for Hines talents if he enters the portal. Luke would get a look from South Alabama and SE Louisiana had his named been entered.
Sure hancocks 1 for 10 weekend produced and contributed way more than that 2 run shot Hines hit that tied the game.
So far he has batted .306 over his two seasons at State in his first two seasons without any protection or consistent offensive production from the rest of the lineup. Next year with him and DJ batting next to each other all season they will be mega productive. Plus Chicks dig the long ball as do all professional baseball teams.
Ask the Mayor, Rooker and Hunter Renfroe. Hitting .350 with minimal HRs just doesn't happen in today's MLB. Which of those guys are on Major League rosters?
I also think he needs to give himself a little more room at the plate. He has cut down this season on his over-swing.
The emphasis on launch angle and HR power fits right in with the current MLB trajectory. If he were hitting .200 with 22 HR as opposed to +300 with 22 HR, the power numbers are what will get him the look. Joey Gallo has somehow made a career out of batting .200 with power. That tells you a lot.
