That is situational hitting at is best.
He had to take what the umpire was giving. That first pitch was low.That is situational hitting at is best.
All set up by Jordan and hines**That is situational hitting at is best.
Looked a little like Mangum right there. Hitting the ball wherever it’s pitched just to get it through the infield in a big situation.That is situational hitting at is best.
If what Hujsak did last night was situational hitting at it's best, then what do you call what Dakota Jordan and Hunter Hines did?That is situational hitting at is best.

Without a NSFW warning, I couldn't post what I called it last night.If what Hujsak did last night was situational hitting at it's best, then what do you call what Dakota Jordan and Hunter Hines did?
Hunter has actually tried to cut down and make contact on a few ABs. He just can miss a pitch by soooo much.If what Hujsak did last night was situational hitting at it's best, then what do you call what Dakota Jordan and Hunter Hines did?

Bruce, I appreciate the response and being a player in the Maroon & White definitely brings a great perspective. I just wonder why you are not on the staff there, even as a volunteer assistant. You'd be able to help those guys out with some old school approach to the game.Hunter has actually tried to cut down and make contact on a few ABs. He just can miss a pitch by soooo much.
Bring pepper back. We played it all the time. Before every game and between double headers. You had to make contact with every ball thrown at you and had to try and guide it to the different folks fielding.
I was lucky enough to play for a top shelf coach who was a former State player from back in the Polk era. Pepper and directional/situational bunting and fielding cross overs was almost daily. We literally had to bunt with a broom stick and golf balls. Stuff like that left with hard work and the exit velo, launch angle sales pitches. Go stand on the plate so you can pull every ball BS. It's crazy to me a P5 hitter can't understand a ground ball to the right side is all you need sometimes. But it's all the BS hitting money makers trying to make average HS and college players believe they can do what a top professional can do and they never will.Hunter has actually tried to cut down and make contact on a few ABs.

Two things my dad used to always make me do as a kid were hitting those golf ball sized wiffle balls with a broom stick in our front yard and he’d make me get up against the fence in our back yard with a bat length between my belly and the fence and work on the “inside out” swing.I was lucky enough to play for a top shelf coach who was a former State player from back in the Polk era.

Professional in more ways than one.Yes Hines and Jordan are the "professional" hitters. Yet you got dirtbag MERSHON and HUJSAK producing when it's needed. Love this team and wanna see em all get on track when we face Vandy.

I'll be surprised if Go-Tro isn't still in our dugout next spring.Maybe we need to be looking for a new hitting coach in the off season...
I see this even at the major league level. The MLB franchises prefer a hitter to hit .210, 40 HRs, and 120 RBIs.I was lucky enough to play for a top shelf coach who was a former State player from back in the Polk era.

With 1 out and bases loaded - I was ok with DJ swinging for the fences a couple of times. I know Davis has been great closing but we've lost too many close games last few years. I want as many insurance runs as we can get. 4 would have made me comfortable.Swinging to knock it all the way to Huntsville
Yep. Lot of that now. Look at Kyle Schwauber. He leads off(!!) And barely hits .200....With 40 bombs a yearI see this even at the major league level. The MLB franchises prefer a hitter to hit .210, 40 HRs, and 120 RBIs.

DJ needs to forget about the fence. He's strong enough that his regular swing (with CONTACT) will knock a ball out of sight. He just needs to chill and make contact. The hits will take care of themselves,With 1 out and bases loaded - I was ok with DJ swinging for the fences a couple of times.

HRs sell tickets and power numbers are important. Pro game is a different game though.I see this even at the major league level. The MLB franchises prefer a hitter to hit .210, 40 HRs, and 120 RBIs.
We're not firing Geautreau you moron.Maybe we need to be looking for a new hitting coach in the off season...
This I like this explanation lol but really like they said how Dakota Jordan see’s less strikes than anyone in the sec. Well get ahead in counts and get your pitch to put in play and remind us what your all about! Hines seems to be a wildly swinging at anything especially pitches he’s not gonna do a lot with lately due to his plate approaches. Cmon guys be a little more selective try to get ahead in the count and get your pitch or walk even would be better thank a K.Situational strikeouts
