So why not bat Pap 9th? If anyone needs the help of seeing better pitches, it is him.

FTR: I don't believe you overmanage this game. I'd go with the lineup that has brought you here instead of randomly changing it like we did last year in Omaha when we panicked.

The entire reasoning behind putting a 2nd leadoff in the 9 hole is to turn the lineup over with runners on base for the top.

You don't like it and I get that. However, it's worked, as evidenced by LSU's lead-off hitter only having 2 fewer RBI than the 3 hole. Not to mention the 2 hole, which traditionally is used to move runners, not score them, having 30+ RBi as well.
