You really don't think we have anyone on the team who could play CF and hit more than .100?

They aren’t factually incorrect. They both get on base at the same rate. You can’t argue that. I’ll give you that Bingham has 10 more hits in 20 more plate appearances. If Bingham was hitting .300 with a .400 OBP then I would agree with you. But what Bingham brings to the plate doesn’t offset his crap defense. Not to mention that Bingham is gone after this year and unless Kling gets processed we will probably have him back again next year. There just isn’t enough of a reason to swap out Kling and Bingham.

I do and I am sure that person isn't named Kling. Bit I also don't believe 10 at bats represents who you are necessarily 2 seasons of stats do. Do you think Brown won't hit above .100 for his career? More than happy to bet you on that Lester.

They are. You said Bingham and Kling are the same at the plate in SEC play. The only thing similar is OB%. Everything else points towards Bingham being better.

But that’s not what you said. You said they are even at the plate in SEC play which is not true.

We are desperately trying to make the postseason this year. You play whoever gives you the best chance to win games right now, not next year.

Hot damn. Would you look at that. Neither Bingham nor Kling have gotten on base today. Weird

That’s fair. So in that case we need to bench Milam for Pearson right? Gotta go all in for the postseason amirite?

Btw you and retard Rudy need to get on the same page. He wants Brown in CF with his .100 sec avg.

Well Pearson is playing in the OF right now, so he can’t play 2nd. Oh btw Milam just hit a 3 run HR.

Uh yeah?

I don’t have anything to do with Rudy and I’m not calling for Jake Brown to play so why you are saying we need to get on the same page.

.100 in SEC play is .100 in SEC play. Players cannot improve. Sorry, these are your rules.

Ok Lester go to your corner and pout. I knew you weren't man enough to step up and take a bet where you would be proven wrong. Keep pouting big boy.

Just checking in..... I didn't get to watch after the 4th inning. How did Bingham do? Did he end up getting on base more than Kling did today?

Your dumb arse keeps bringing up Brown as a solution who btw was replaced in RF by a catcher before Larson was finally plugged in.

Your argument is weak and we saw exactly what we have been saying unfold. Bingham isn’t the answer in CF either. You don’t have another Ashton Larson sitting on the bench right now. If we did we would have seen him by now.

So all you really accomplished today was preventing Kling from getting more experience while putting a worse defender in his place.

Oh and btw, Bingham now has a lower OBP than Kling. Congrats

LSU is 17-1 with Kling leading off. Just a friendly reminder.

That’s really hard to believe and I can’t tell if you are trolling or not. I’m not a Kling needs to be lead off guy, but I do believe he needs to be in the lineup. If what you are saying is true then frick it. Let’s ride with Kling at leadoff.

Technically, yes. But to answer your other question, Bingham did not have a good day today offensively.

It’s 100% true.

I’m with you though. Kling needs to be in the lineup. If he wasn’t lead off, I wouldn’t be upset. But we haven’t had a decent lead off all year. Braswell seems like he’d be a better fit but he’s better in the back of the lineup.
