re: Travinski or Milazzo

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.
