I agree with you. Larsen and Milam are our best hitters to get on base for our power in White/Jones.
This has been the way baseball lineups have been structured for a 100 years. Some young buck decided it was better to have your best power hitters to hit 1/2, and the baseball illiterates on this board think that is the way it should be. 100 years of baseball strategy says otherwise. RBI's is what the game is all about...producing runs. I personally don't think our lineup is built to do that, but you and our coach can keep going with this nonsense and watch us lose. Regardless, it is just not sound baseball

Milam has been good lately but his SEC OBP is 8th among tonight’s lineup.
Meanwhile Larson has the highest SEC OBP on the team but he also has the highest BA on the team in SEC play. Larson hitting with guys on base is usually a great thing. That said, I can certainly see the argument for him at leadoff especially with his speed. I’m a little surprised he’s still behind Travinski considering the slump Travinski has run into lately.

Took baseball theory in college. One thing I learned, there’s a hundred thoughts on every aspect of baseball. Best and only class I showed up to at 7am.

I think your thread would have went way better if you said “why is white leading off?”
and then you’ve have the co variation of whether we’re better off with tommy and jones up top or if we should try and a get a couple guys on before them.
Instead you asked why Kling and Milazzo are batting last like that’s insane.

This was the exactly the way Paul Manieri did his line up and it worked well majority of the time. And I think he was a wonderful coach in all areas. We have been blessed with great coaches and lucky again to have another great coach. I have wondered why most of our home runs no one else is on base to score some RBI’s. I sure would like to see less solo home runs with at-least somebodies on base. But I was at the game tonight in Tuscaloosa and LSU out numbered Bama in total # of hits. We walked a few too many, however pulled ourselves out of the jam several times with men on 2 or 3 bases. I hope we can win tomorrow so badly. I see improvement each week with this young LSU team.

A hundred years of medical science used to say that leeching blood cures fever. People have gotten smarter over the centuries.
A hundred years of baseball strategy did not use the radical shifting of today’s defenses. The shifts have been so effective that they are being banned. So that hundred years of strategy was dead wrong.
