Jones had a great hit. Why did he get pull off the line up.

I think the game we well in hand and he is a new starter and won't be here for the entire season. Also, not being a dick at all, but could you imagine the first game in the new Box without Pontiff getting an AB? In reality, I think Nicolas needs some AB's because now that Gaudet is gone, we're going to need a solid "10th guy" or PH with some game experience. As good as guys like Mahtook look, they've yet to play in a big game. Pontiff has contributed in big games.

First game of the year.

Let other guys play in the first game at the box.

Lefthander on the mound.

Take your pick of answers.

I heard he had a sore arm or something just making sure that he didn't come out because of an injury.

I heard that Jones is a left-handed batter and that when left-handed pitchers enter the game, managers sometimes go with the righty to pinch-hit.

Didn't hear anything about an injury.

Lets see if Coach Mainieri is seasoning guys early with innings to adjust for CJ possibly leaving early for football.

Jones did exactly what he should have done with that hanging curve ball, crush it down the line

If you were not at the game and listening to it on TV. They said that Chad Jones will miss almost 1/2 of the baseball season, because of football practice. He will be the DH untill football practice is over I bet.

Mitchell is more of a baseball player where Jones is more of a football player.

What's funny is that from someone who supposedly watches sports alot and posts on an LSU message board that you have to be told that starters get rest when the team goes way ahead of the opposition. Dude plays 2 sports and I'm sure PM wants him as rested as possible to be able to use him as much as he can in the future.

He does, he has a sore throwing arm, but that isn't the reason he was taken out of the lineup.

PM in the pregame radio interview said that he didn't think Jones was ready to face LH pitching and he would have to work in somebody else against LH pitching.

"Starters," for the most part played a little over half the game. There was liberal substitution during the last third of the game.
