I like Ryan, but it is obvious that he can't hit a breaking ball to save his life. I know this is going to ruffle some feathers on this board, but it is truth. It would be one thing if he was a freshman, but he is a senior..

Kent is seeing the ball better than Targo, that's not debatable

Not shocking at all considering he had 10 SO in 25 AB in pre-conference play.
Honestly I'm baffled at this point why Schloss continues to give him ABs.
Targac could be a huge contributor and valuable piece to this lineup, but he's just not seeing the ball and seems lost at the plate.

It's true that Targac isn't having the season at the plate that we all wish he was having. I do not know Targac personally, but I am willing to bet that no one is more upset about that than Ryan, himself, is.In my opinion, threads like this do not do the team any good. Coach Schlossnagle knows a hell of lot more about College Baseball than most, if not all, of the posters on this forum do, and if he believes in Targac enough to keep giving him shots, I'm going to support that decision and support the team. It just pisses me off that people have to pile on a player who is struggling (just like the posters who only post when things aren't going great for the AGS).
Rant over.

Agree on all accounts
Still hate it for him. Got the 12, team leader…thought he'd find it this year. Hoping he gets the bat in a big game down the road and delivers! But Schloss has to move on from him as a daily contributor moving forward.
True. However seeing weekly threads combined with comments on game threads, lineup construction threads and the "is the 7 hole cursed" thread in which Targac's woes at the plate are parsed and parsed again whether meant or not come across as piling on. Please excuse us baseball board regulars, we tend to be protective or our guys, probably a little too much.Hubert J. Farnsworth said:Aggie12B said:

This is a sports message board. If it upsets you that much, then I suggest that you stay off of it. Nobody said anything mean or bad about Targac as a person.
This. It's like they think that the coaching staff would not recognize that there is an issue u less there is a thread on TexAgs calling Targac out. The right side of the infield was totally up for grabs when the season started. No one has really settled the argument on the field, yet.jkag89 said:True.

We know what Targac can do, which is a lot more than the stats you are pointing g to as being decisive. If Kent was playing like 2022 Targac, there would be no argument. But, Schloss apparently isn't ready to concede that we will never see Targac get back to that level.threeanout said:
I guess it is like boxing, where to win you have to knock the champion out. I guess hitting well over 100 points higher for average, having an OBP that is over 100 points better, and playing better defensively just 'aint considered knocking him out in baseball.
Schlossnagle will start who he thinks will help the team. Relax and enjoy the game.Hubert J. Farnsworth said:

I wouldn't worry about the players getting upset about the comments on this board. The players know that most of the posters really don't know what they are talking about.trouble said:
Y'all also forget that players and their loved ones read this board. Keep to facts without the hyperbole. We've seen some real ugly stuff posted about 18-22 year olds who are playing their hearts out for the name on their chest.
I hugged Ryan last night and chatted with him a little. He's hurting. He knows things aren't going how he wants. And yet, he took the time to get back out of his truck and come see us when he saw Max when I'm certain all he wanted to do was get home.

Getting trashed on this board is nothing to worry or fret about. It's just a board full of a lot of people who don't have a clue. Players and family know that.trouble said:
Doesn't matter if they know the 90% of the board is idiots, no one wants to read themselves (or their kid) being trashed.
