re: Finalizing Lineup Moving Into SEC Play

I didn’t think about the lefty/righty situation. I agree with you to swap Jones and Beloso

I’d rather Morgan in LF with Jones/Beloso as first/DH.
Jobert is just too streaky to rely on in the middle of the order.

Jobert does not need to be in the lineup. He is a huge liability at the plate, and frankly, he is really not very good in the outfield. Give me Pearson instead.
yeah because Pearson has really proved to not be a liability this year when given the chance...
"huge liability" is not the word I would use to describe Jobert. Streaky is a better option. When he gets hot and locked in we've seen what he can do (last year and this year vs Sam Houston). I think being part of a platoon is your best option because you will get his power upside even if he's not consistent. I don't see that with Pearson. Part of the reason I would prefer Morgan in LF is because I think Jones has been fine at 1B, OF defense is legit and it opens up a DH spot for guys like Jobert, Beloso, etc who we don't trust in the field as much.

Through aAll this debate we have to not play Skenes an accomplished hitter in his own right.
Skenes isn't brought up because I think it is obvious the direction Skenes career is going. Not saying he won't get any at bats at all this year but nothing has suggested he will be a crucial part of the lineup. My opinion on Skenes is he would be what Jones is. Have some swing and miss but when he hits it, it will be hard. So why put him at DH when you have a guy similar to his skill set that isn't your Friday night guy.

LF and DH are going to continue to platoon. I honestly don't have a problem with hitting Dugas at 9. People forget that Schimpf raked there in 2008.
Morgan in the infeld
1. Kling RF
2. Morgan 1B
3. Crews CF
4. White 3rd
5. Thompson SS
6. Jobert/Pearson LF
7. Jones/Beloso DH
8. Neal C
9. Dugas 2nd
Morgan in the outfield
1. Kling RF
2. Morgan LF
3. Crews CF
4. White 3rd
5. Thompson SS
6. Jobert/Pearson DH
7. Jones/Beloso 1B
8. Neal C
9. Dugas 2nd
Morgan in the infeld
1. Kling RF
2. Morgan 1B
3. Crews CF
4. White 3rd
5. Thompson SS

I just want Dugas getting more at bats than a guy like Jobert and even Thompson. I really liked him leading off but I’m fine with Kling. However if he’s not leading off I want him around 5th or 6th and hitting with runners on.

The only reason I don't see him at 5 is you have the potential for 5 straight righties. We're splitting hairs here.

I agree.
I would move Dugas up to 2nd in the order and move Tre to 5th. Shift everyone else down, with Jobert at 6th.
He should still get a lot of opportunities, still, but I trust Morgan to get Crews and White home.

But you have Thompson at 5.
I’d rather bat Thompson at 9 than Dugas. Dugas has PROVEN to be a better hitter.

It's splitting hairs. I'm fine having a speedster reset the lineup and a little more power at the back end.
Posted on 3/13/23 at 10:06 am to GeauxTime9
I'd like to get Pearson a start Tuesday. Need to get him some ABs. I'd much rather Jobert PH off the bench than be an every day starter. Wondering if Pearson's weight loss has affected his power
Posted on 3/13/23 at 10:10 am to Adam4848
I don’t think the 5 spot is a “reset the lineup” spot. I want the 5 hole driving in runs when Crews hits a 2 out double and the other team intentionally walks White.
But it’s all fun to discuss while we are bludgeoning teams by 10 runs in 6.5 innings every night

Joberts slumps drive me crazy and is fielding is not good. i'm hoping Pierson comes around.

I agree as soon as we lose one to A&M we can all melt and cry in each others arms

If you move Dugasnup in the lineup, you would still have Jobert at 6 Thompson at 7, Jones at 8, and Neal at 9.
Every one of thse guys can put it out of the park, and Jobert and Jones have elite power.
I don't think you can create a lineup that doesn't have power in every part of the lineup unless you bench these guys for Milazzo, Guidry, Nippolt, Stephenson, and Merrifield.

If Kling takes the leadoff spot, please give me Dugas behind Tommy White.
Ever since Texas something has been wrong with Dugas. It was just a little slump, but he was taking some ridiculously bad swings. He looked better yesterday. If he gets his groove back then yeah, move him to 5th, or back to first with Kling fifth.

not sure how Jobert will fare against elite SEC pitching. anything under 90mph, he's taking it 500 ft., but if there's a stud pitcher he's going 0/5. I don't know who would replace him in LF though
Jobert got our only hit vs the Iowa TE. One of the few that didn't look over matched.
Posted on 3/13/23 at 11:22 am to brett408
Dude is hitting 250 and y’all are acting like he’s hitting 150. He’s a proven guy that hit 18 HR last year. Crazy how many people really think that doesn’t play going into SEC. He’s also top 5 in exit velo on the team. He’s hitting the ball hard at people.

I thought about this too but I think Kling gives you a lot more with his speed than Dugas. If he gets on then you have a double from one of the next 3 guys that easily scores Kling. Plus he is hitting the cover off the ball and drawing walks.

He’s hitting .250, has a high K rate, low BB’s, which is why his OBP is the lowest of our players with qualifying AB’s. He also hit around .250 last year and I don’t see that improving. How long should CJJ keep Beloso (another LH bat) on the bench in favor of Jobert? Beloso would probably have more HR’s if he got the 3x AB’s as Jobert has. Beloso’s OBP tells me that he’d have scored more runs than Jobert has.
And exit velo doesn’t matter if they don’t make contact.
