Vic Scott extra work in batting cage to improve paid off tonight. Postgame Oli mentioned that last week after an evening game that he was working in his office til 11: 45 or midnight. He heard action going on in the batting cage yet that late. It was Victor Scott .
He said the guy has been working very hard attempting to make improvements suggested by the coaching staff.
In last night's game, it was great to see he was rewarded with a good game hitting at the plate.
Got to give him credit for dilligently working extra time to be productive. It has bee a struglle for him.
You have to pull for a guy that has good work habits and is busting his butt to contribute.

Good to hear. He needs to put in work more than anyone on the team.
The benefit of elite speed, elite defense, elite baserunning is too great to (bleep) away.

Omg. You mean a guy that can’t hit took extra BP? Praise be! Why’d he wait so long?ramfandan wrote: ↑05 May 2026 00:05 am Vic Scott extra work in batting cage to improve paid off tonight.

Having a guy that didn’t go 0-4 again surely helped the offense. No game saving catches needed in left field if you score enough runs.
The worst hitters get a hit sometimes. Saggesse had a higher average before being sent down. I don’t expect an overnight miracle, especially with Scott’s poor balance in the box.

With Church's ability to play CF, Scott's options, and Bryan Torres in Memphis, I'd rather see Scott figure it out in AAA.

It may have been the threat of Church playing CF. But they do seem to win more games when Scott II is in centerfield.Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑05 May 2026 07:20 am With Church's ability to play CF, Scott's options, and Bryan Torres in Memphis, I'd rather see Scott figure it out in AAA.

Scott had a very good game last night.
Hopefully he can build on it.

Re: Scott last night reaped the reward of late night extra batting cage time
I believe they lost the last one with Dodgers. You tell me the other 4. I have no problems with Church in CF and that may be where he ends up. But I think Scott not being in the lineup Sunday may have put a charge in him to produce.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑05 May 2026 08:03 amChurch has played 5 games in CF this yearOldRed wrote: ↑05 May 2026 07:24 amIt may have been the threat of Church playing CF.

I doubt anything changed with Scott sitting out. He did nothing different except that his balls fell in for a change.OldRed wrote: ↑05 May 2026 08:07 amI believe they lost the last one with Dodgers.

As for Scott. I feel him to be an important factor in the young core. Offense or not.
Torres is the move, and will happen as soon as there is an outfielder injury.
