Damn. You must be the latest bird-dog hired by the Tigers.

Over the last three-game series, his Fielding Percentage went from .961 to .965 on nine chances with 0 errors. I don't have the precise number of double plays turned by the Nola-LeMahieu combo but it almost certainly exceeds the Schimpf-LeMahieu combo.

Now as far as his .242 BA goes, his OB% is .346; and for a noted below .250 hitter his SLG% = .364. Everyone's jumped on Landry's bandwagon quick enough. But Nola's average went from .204 to .242 (5/12 including 1 double, 1 HR) against MSU. His performance included 9 TB and 4 RBIs.

It's pointless to quarrel over who's the latest and greatest hottest hitter. The current SS-2B combo is producing the best defensive results as of the moment. Only a hardball neophyte would question the worthiness of a solid up-the-middle fielding duo.

Let's all cheer on the Tigers through the SEC and Regional tourneysl. Hopefully, we wind up in another Super resulting in another OMAHA visit.
