Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment


May 13, 2018, 1:16 PM

What has he done in the past month to earn his spot in this lineup? Every other outfielder that drops the ball monte benches him but no Drew go ahead you can drop it if you want, not hit the ball and still play

No I’m not. Whartons drop didn’t bother me. I’m simply saying that players not names beer that have dropped fly balls before have always been benched because of it. But not Wharton who doesn’t even have offensive production to lean on

I think it’s funny how you act like you’re such a little fan of each player individually so when I call out names you say I’m bashing them or maybe I’m just for the better interest of this team.
Perhaps you’re the one bashing Meredith for not sticking up for his right to be in for Wharton who is useless

No Grayson gets big hits now when he gets them. Wharton gets meaningless hits only as of late with 2 outs or nobody on. As soon as he comes up with men on he is useless as of late

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment


May 14, 2018, 3:35 PM

Being useless as a hitter when there are men on base is not the exclusive domain of Wharton. That can be said of almost every one on the team. As for Wharton, he had 33 RBI through last Saturday's game. Only Williams (51), Beer (40) and Davidson (35) had more, Even though he does not possess a high batting average, his hitting his been effective with men on base. Looking at the HITS/RBI we find Williams 49/51, Beer 52/40, Davidson 59/35 and Wharton 43/33. Now, if we subtract the home runs from the RBI we find the number of men on base when they hit their home runs. Williams 49/37, Beer 52/24, Davidson 59/24 and Wharton 43/27.

These are facts, not perception.

May 13, 2018, 1:26 PM [ in reply to Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment ]

Yeah I completely agree that Seth beer was in better position to make that catch in Wharton went way too far BUT The centerfielder has power over everybody and when he calls you off you yield to him so I just think wharton wasn’t expecting the ball to drift that much. I can live with that but it’s the fact that he cannot hit anything anymore

Because we need him in the outfield, everyone makes mistakes, playing centerfield isn’t easy but he does a pretty darn good job of covering all that land and leading the corner outfielders. Plus he has a potential to get some RBI’s at any time, plus if I do recall he had this one RBI against some team named South Carolina

Diamond,
Have you ever made a mistake? You seem to think you ought be our coach so I recommend you ask Monte directly since you apparently know so much. These are college players in a heightened situation because of senior recognition. How about put yourself in their shoes or otherwise keep your shortsighted attitude off the board until you acquire some plain common sense.

Go visit your mother if you can and thank her instead of finding fault in baseball. Have a nice afternoon otherwise.

Go Tigers!

Freshman baseball players can be better than senior baseball players. Drew Wharton has never been a starter until this year so his seniority should mean nothing. He can’t hit and yes he does play good defense but so does Keir Meredith, yet Monte jerks him when he makes a mistake. Yes I do make mistakes but I would make the same mistake over and over and over and over by leaving Drew Wharton in the lineup when we have a better player available. He has the worst batting average on the team people

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment

Why throw Meredith into a series that means absolutely nothing? Give the kid another week and he will be good to go. Drew Wharton was the hero the first half of the year. And to be completely honest, no one on this team is tearing the cover off of the ball consistently. We will be just fine!

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment

Glad to know you find this series meaningless, I also guess that Davidson Wilkie arent consistent enough for you..... but to your point about this game or series being meaningless don’t you find it that the meaningless situations are the good times to make a change?????

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment


May 13, 2018, 1:54 PM

Kyle Wilkie is consistent?? Davidson may be the only player on this team with a hint of being consistent. Don’t forget 2 months ago when we were all praying to God that Chris Williams would get cleared to catch bc Wilkie couldn’t hit water if he fell out of the boat. That’s baseball. How in the world is this series worth the chance of reinjuring Merideth to where he can’t play in Louisville in a couple of weeks? If you honestly think that Drew Wharton is so bad that we need to throw a guy out there who just was cleared to play, then I can’t help you. Those times when Wilkie wasn’t even taking the bat off of his shoulder was the the same time Wharton was carrying this team on his back.

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment


May 13, 2018, 1:58 PM

Yes Wilkie is consistent. He hasn’t just caught fire. He would’ve cooled off by now man. He’s improved tremendously and is very consistent now.
If Meredith isn’t full go then yeah of course you’re right it’s not worth injuring him but the coaches have said he is ready. I look at it more as getting Meredith back into the flow of things instead of risking an injury but yes I would much rather save him if he is not ready to play for later. So we actually agree

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Why does Drew Wharton get special treatment


May 13, 2018, 2:02 PM

I completely agree with you. Just don’t think Wharton is the guy who needs to be on the bench. In my honest opinion, I think Wharton/Meredith/Beer with Hall at 2nd and Greene at DH is the hottest option we have at the moment. I trust Coach Lee though. He sees them everyday and I don’t.

I just would have to have Byrd in the lineup over Wharton. Byrd is better offensively. He has more rbis in the last few weeks. Plus he hits a lot of deep fly balls which can be sad flies while Wharton just pops out or strikes out

Meredith’s obp is .457 compared to whartons .308. His avg is .243 compared to whartons .231

So even after struggling his numbers still better in a small sample size. But kier struggled for what? 3 games? Drew has struggled his entire career. Lol I just think it’s going to be hilarious in two years when Keir Meredith is an All-American and we’re looking back to this day where people are actually saying that Drew Wharton is better than him

Re: how many players is it you want benched now


May 13, 2018, 2:14 PM [ in reply to Re: how many players is it you want benched now ]

Honestly I think it’s doable because he is our hardest hitter right now. Imagine Meredith And/or Hall getting on for him???? Man Logan would be driving them in and around!!!!!!! And if he doesn’t then you got Beer, Wilkie and Williams behind him.
But if you want to keep Logan at the top then I would do this

Davidson
Hall
Beer
Wilkie
Williams
Byrd
Greene
Cooper/Jolly
Meredith

Bottom line is I like Meredith in front of Davidson

So LeCroy was on a Columbia radio station on Thursday?

Could Meredith have not reinjured something during the time between probably a morning interview and the Friday game or maybe the coaches wanted to let him completely heal for the stretch run and the series was a non-conference series? So you would rather bash a Clemson player than check facts first before jumping to a conclusion?

Teo has his arm in a sling.

Are we not down to our third string centerfielder?

Maybe we don't have any other option than to play the third string centerfielder and you ride him to death.

This scenario was brought up by a fan on here and I completely agreed that if Meredith hurt him self and we don’t know about it he definitely should not be playing.
I’ve stated that based on what the coaches said during the week we had no reason to believe Meredith had re-injured himself and should be playing.
Yes it is possible he got hurt Thursday or Friday but highly unlikely
