Couple thoughts on the baseball game

How did A&M not have someone warming to start the 7th?That was negligent. Kid hasn't stretched himself out that far this year, and they had no one even stretching until we got a couple guys on. Probably cost them the game.
Someone should tell Bregman he doesn't have to try to steal every time he gets on base, specifically trying to steal 3rd.
We need someone else leading off, whether its Fraley or Laird, Sciambra K's way too often to get more ABs than everyone else. What is he even hitting in SEC play?
Lange is hitting that wall, hopefully he can power through it next week.
Come from behind wins are always a little more satisfying to me. Seems to make the crowd more electric too.
Bubbles, how cool?!?
I really like our chances to sweep. Have a ton of confidence in Bain.

Sciambra did put down that BEAUTIFUL ducking suicide squeeze though.
Overall I agree with pretty much everything

Laird
He is the prototypical lead off guy and I've been saying that since forever.
Draws walks, speedy, sees lots of pitches, slap hitter. However, Mainieri wants to find another McMullen – i.e. lead off guy that can start with a double or homer.
Sciambra has that type of pop in the bat, but yeah, plate discipline is lacking for a lead off.

26 Ks in 90 ABs. Thats terrible. Striking out more than once every 4 ABs

He'd be good 8 or 9 hole hitter, because he still hits more than he doesn't.
Laird
Fraley
Bregman
Hale
Scivicque
Stevenson
Chinea
Sciambra
Foster

If that's what Mainieri wants at leadoff he should put Bregman there.

I'm fine with that lineup.
I'd prob go
Laird
Stevenson
Bregs
Scivicque
Hale
Chinea
Fraley
Foster
Sciambra/Zardon
or for those that love keeping the lefty/righty split in the lineup
Laird
Hale
Bregman
Sciv
Stevenson
Chinea
Fraley
Foster
Sciambra/Zardon

No, he doesn't want his best hitter leading off.

see I think he is perfect in the 2-hole spot, especially being left handed, fast, and a decent bunter, and also somebody that can make consistent contact to the left side, making him vulable in a hit n run situation

move a runner over into scoring position...
and he's fast, plus batting from the left side makes him even faster, which makes him a prime batter to bunt

Couple random stats I found:
LSU is undefeated when giving up 4 runs or less in a game.
LSU is 10-0 vs lefty starting pitchers.

No reason to do that anywhere near the beginning of a game. Its almost completely random which spot in the order is up in that bunt situation in the 8th or 9th. This lineup is so deep, that bunt situation could be for any spot.

Mainieri is often guilty of this, glad the shoe was on the other foot.

How many times has he been picked off this year? I mean, not even close, breaking to the next bag before the pitch, picked off. He couldn't even get back to the bag tonight he was so far out.

It was obvious to me he was going before the 1st pitch was thrown with that lead. A&M caught on, and the pitcher stepped off, then with the attention on him, he got an even bigger lead.

I'm thinking of the lineup in more of a theoretical setting, not so much how our current lineup is setup...
1: best OBP, sees a lot of pitches in an at-bat, good eye and patience
2: fast player, good at bunting, usually left-handed.
3: best hitter
4: 2nd best hitter, best batter at hitting with runners in scoring position.
5: 3rd best hitting, 2nd best batter at hitting with runnres in scoring position.
6: 4th best hitting, 3rd best batter at hitting with runners in scoring position.
7: usually reserved for somebody that isn't the best at hitting, but really good defensively.
8: good defensively, but also has a decent OBP.
9: Second leadoff batter.
ETA: this lineup doesn't include a DH

I stopped listening to the game at 5-2 ( family time)
Guess I'll turn it off when we need to rally again

Devil's Advocate- he's facing one of the best starters in the SEC. Some guys just can't figure out some elite pitchers. I'll give him benefit of the doubt on this one.
