I love Braswell but he can’t start this weekend and Reaves doesn’t hit either. Not sure what the solution is but need our best bats in the lineup.

No. Put down the crack. Defense wins ships

I thought we were past questioning Jay

That’s the problem when we hit for him in the early innings we lose his glove. I’d rather see him as a late inning defensive replacement.

I agree, Braswell shouldn't get into the lineup until we have a lead late in the game.

We just watched Arkansas choke away a game because of errors and LSU almost choked it away because of errors and you want to take out our best defensive infielder?

Maybe let the head coach do his job
He’s been pretty successful at it so far

I loved when Jay moved Curiel to center and had Brown and Pearson out there as well.

Braswell made a very tough scoop and throw earlier in the game... And made it look easy. I doubt Reaves makes that play. He's the only liability in our lineup right now, true. But, our defense has been our consistent strength.

The solution is to play good defense behind your elite pitchers. You keep Braswell in for his defense because you get Anderson and Eyanson on Saturday and Sunday, and Evans can close it out if needed.

I said back in like April that Curiel could easily slide over to CF if need be. Larson, Brown and Frey could see more ABs that way.

I said Stanfield is good, but doesn’t have to be a lock in the lineup……Blah Blah Blah

Stanfield is your CF unless he’s getting PH for by Brown or Pearson in a Left:”/Right matchup.

McDonald has said several times that pitching and defense win titles. Arky lost because of defense just last night.

Move past the “best lineup” and think about “best chance to win”.

Were you saying this about Bear a week ago?

No the opposite is the right answer. Let bras play no matter what thru 6. If your down then, PH for him. If your winning, leave him in

Go with the better glove

Coastal will play very fundamental baseball. This isn’t the time to take him out early.. the game plan will be exactly what it’s been, sub if you are down and hit the 9 hole.

We certainly can’t play Jones there like we tried for one game earlier this year

So you are saying we will play with a ghost man at 3rd?

Well, this was a complete waste of time.
