Yet again, Wes Rea wastes a RBI opportunity. He needs to sit. Forever.

Remember when Sherrill used to say Madkin was an athlete playing QB. Rea is a football player playing baseball.
He has been a disappointment but if that shot down the left field line had been 2 inches over, we would be having a different conversation.
The first thing Rea needs to do this summer is back off the plate. I understand the this is my plate mentality. When your power comes from extending your arms it's foolish to crowd the plate. Throw in the fact he can't hit a curve and has no protection around him and you end up with this years results.
Yeah and the bomb he hit in the Super at Virginia was pretty big too, not to mention the scoop on the bad throw by Holder to save that game and send us to Omaha.
Don't forget, this team will be a two seed somewhere and the regionals are all that matters now. If Rea gets hot, which he might, we will be loving him then.
the SEC tournament means nothing. I hope we win one and then come home to rest some arms.
If Rea continues his choke-a-thon into this post season he`ll simply be remembered as a big ole boy that played for us and had a great post season run in 2013 but turned out to be a one trick pony. ALL players (from t-ball on up) have had multiple wasted RBI opportunities but the ones who rise to the occasion when the bright lights come on are the ones people remember. Rea`s yet to be determined legacy is his to determine in the next few weeks.
Rea catches the heat because he was suppose to be our leader this year
Last year he almost hit .300 and had a slugging % of .459 and this year he's hitting .250 and slugging % is down a 100 points. While I'm disappointed with Rea, I'm just as equally as disappointed with Detz. If both of these guys have decent years, then we are hosting instead of talking about being a 2 seed.
