He knew that literally the only thing he couldn't do was put the ball on the ground. Pretty arse hat mistake, and he also stranded bases loaded in the 1st. I'm almost 100% positive the benching was a direct result.

We also were a lot more aggressive at the plate, took a lot more cuts at first pitches, as a result we were up in the count a lot. We took almost 10 walks because we were making better decisions at the plate. I'm pretty sure the primary reason Cody Brown started was because of his ability to pick good pitches.

They also ran 40 100's in practice Monday, and obviously had to shave. 4,000 yards of sprints will make you consider getting your mind right.

He hasn't hit the ball on the ground in five weeks, he's not going to get benched for doing so in a blowout win over a SWAC school. If anything, he should have been benched for popping up with the bases loaded like he's done 100 times over past 6 games.

He was probably pulled because he got a few hits and we wanted to get Humpreys and Garner an AB during a 16-2 win because it's obvious they are going to have to contribute during the second half of the season.
