re: McNeese 0 @ LSU 16 Final

I understand batting averages just fine, Kling has been terrible at the plate

I look at OB%, he’s tied with White for 3rd highest on the team (out of starters)

I also think he is the best defensive option at CF & he should be given a chance for his bat to come back around
Last night was promising

I’m not arguing with you, this is a message board & everyone is entitled to their own opinion

So according to you him going 2 for 19 in SEC play has not hurt the team? Do you not think if he had 4 or 5 more hits it would have made a difference in those 1 run losses. Sure he is a good defensive centerfielder but he has not hit in SEC play this year or last year.

Obviously facts and logic are too difficult for Klingers fan bois.

You can ignore Rudy. He spent last night trolling the game thread. He kept spewing the same shite despite everyone shooting him down. He isn't posting for a discussion.

I realize that. It was more for people who might not have realized that Brown did get hurt and was not able to play at full health for a few weeks and also just to throw out a few recent Kling stats. Hoping he turns the corner and gets some confidence going.

Nice deflection.

Let me rephrase your statement in the manner you are now using.

According to you, the nine-slot hitter being 2 for 19 is a big reason LSU is not winning more SEC games. Not the atrocious ERA of the pitching staff as a whole or the incredibly bad batting averages with RISP (Kling is batting above .500 with RISP according tot he graphic they posted last night). No, according to you, Kling batting 9th is the big reason.

Is anyone arguing he has hit well? Is anyone here suggesting his bat is the reason he is playing?

The closest you get are people saying he has hit the ball really hard right at people, which he did for a while, though he had a stretch where he clearly looked like he was overthinking at the plate and struck out a lot. But the last couple of SEC have not looked that way, he is back to getting the barrel on the ball.

You don't understand logic if you think it is simply repeating a fact everyone agrees on over and over again then trying to deflect by misstating something as part of your unneeded rebuttal.

And the whole Klingers fan bois thing comes across as an old man trying to sound like he is hip with the kids As one old man to another, it's a bad look.

I agree Kling couldn't hit SEC pitching last year and hasnt hit this year. Kling isn't the only centerfielder on the team but u would think he is by the way JJ keeps putting him out there.

I haven’t shite on anyone. And I’m still not on here very much. I retired at the end of last year and have much better things to do.

Oh damn, this thread is still going. Rudy’s got time for all of y’all.
I think the best time for brown to have been inserted was Florida, Arkansas. But Kling has been getting good contact, you probably leave him in unless he hits another slump.
It’s really hard to say what Jay will do this series, but I expect he’ll probably lean a little bit more towards playing the offensive lineups. Which probably means Braswell, Pearson, and Neal.

People love to say that Kling and Neal are pull only hitters and can't hit yet I would say that Pearson is worse than both when it comes to pulling the ball. Difference is Kling and Neal were big time recruits and Pearson was not as big of an MLB draft threat.

That’s a good question tbh. Trading him and Larson could be an option, since Larson has been better lately
