Travinski or Milazzo

Last night I thought Travinski should have pinched hit late in the game. Milazzo is better defensively but cannot hit as well. Who should start tonight? I would play Travinski tonight.

I’d say Trav for the bat, but I don’t worry about passed balls with milazzo behind the plate. He’s just a black hole in the lineup

Heavy wind blowing in tonight takes away all of Travinski's strengths. Plus he's an average catcher

I think you need Milazzo on defense. Also Trav's bat has been a little cold in Omaha

with Thompson being an automatic out at this point, I feel like you need Travinski to have an extra bat
ETA: Milazzo is an exponentially better catcher

His run production outweighs the dropoff in defense. He's certainly no Milazzo behind the plate, but Travinki is better defensively than many here give him credit.

If the wind is not blowing hard in, I say Travinski because of his power. If wind is blowing in, Milazzo because he is a better bunter and frames pitches better.

Milazzo has actually batted well all season. It didn’t show last night facing a great pitching staff, but his soft liners to the outfield are perfect when the wind is blowing in like it was.

Jay said Big T was knicked up.

Milazzo can steal a few strikes. With the wind, I say Milazzo might be the better option

I think a days rest might do him some good. Seems to be wearing down

Travinski and its not even close.
Posted on 6/21/23 at 10:59 am to pitchandcatch27
Jay confirmed in pregame that Travinsky would not play yesterday due to being nicked up. Him PH was not an option yesterday. I would guess todays decision would still depend on his health.

Can Travinski play SS?
Posted on 6/21/23 at 11:01 am to pitchandcatch27
You were up at that point. Defense was more important than offense.

Problem with starting Milazzo is you probably don’t want to pinch hit him in the 8th inning with runners in scoring position with 2 outs… they should start travinski and make a defensive sub based off the situation. Not a fan of riding Milazzo all game

To expect LSU's bullpen to given you another tremendous outing like they did last night is asking a lot. LSU is likely going to have to score more than just a few runs to be Wake both tonight and (if they get that far) tomorrow. Milazzo's ABs are not even competitive. I get that the wind is blowing in, but that doesn't means Travinski still isn't capable to getting one into the gap for a 2B. Given that Thompson has been awful at the plate and Pearson hasn't been all that much better, it's really tough to stick a guy in the lineup who is almost a guaranteed out.
Milazzo didn't play last night because the coaches were fearful of Travinski's defense. He played because evidently (or purportedly) Travinski was hurt. It's he's physically capable to go today Travinski hast to get the start. It would be tough to go into an elimination game, where you are solely relying on the back-end of an inconsistent bullpen, with your 7-9 hitters being almost no threat at all.

Stopped reading at that nugget of idiocy.

Radio said he was not available because he was really beat up and sore.

I thought Jared Jones was a very decent catcher in High School?
