You mean based on what he did for two weeks out of a 4 year college career.
The sample size I am talking about is 2mo 23d, or 12 weeks. You know, the one you said wasn't right on the last page, but actually was?

Is he ever right? I remember him defending the guy who murdered Will Smith in NOLA a few years ago.
You are going to flip your shite when you realize he is out of jail and getting re-tried in October lol
If you think Will Smith is getting re-tried by this DA, ermagerd

Patterns are developed over sample size. When the body of work is comprised of a cluster of sporadic sample sizes, there is inconsistent data.
The fact that Bianco's largest sample size involving consistent playing time yielded good results makes it worth exploring.
Cmon man, you are supposed to be a scout i thought
College coaches in the SEC don't have the luxury of playing guys such as Bianco and waiting for him to figure it out over the course of the entire regular season. They have more pressure than they have ever had to win games and compete in this arms race.
The player you are pushing to start has not been better his entire career...the only consistent data we can go off of is that Gio has had a higher floor than Drew and that's why he's playing right now.
This isn't a development league...common man.

Merrifield will not go to RF. He will be put at 3B and Berry back in RF if they decide to experiment with Merrifield. I think Pearson and Stevenson are both a year away.
Berry should never go to OF again for the rest of his career. He can be serviceable at 3B. Maybe an experiment at 1B down the line. OF, nope.

If Drew showed any kind of production in '19, '20, or more than 3 weeks in '21 I'd have a different approach to this discussion.
This is LE here, he wont give this up until the end of the season probably or a few more weeks of Gio playing an Bianco spot playing. It took him a while to give up on the Seneca Knight is amazing train...
The fact he's seriously arguing about Bianco over Gio when we have 3.5 years of data on both here and Gio is hitting a hundred points higher in his career just has to make anyone with a brain laugh.
What lies in Bianco's value is being a sub off the bench for a variety of situations. He is not a good hitter and never has been over any length of time. But what he does well is come off the bench to pinch run, play multiple positions in the field when called upon, etc...DiGiacomo has proven to be the better every day player bar none. Not to mention DiGiacomo gets another left handed bat in the lineup vs. right handed Bianco. You put Bianco in over DiGiacomo, we only have 2 dedicated lefties in the lineup then.

Look at where Gio was when this thread was started & how he’s performed over the last two week. You think I don’t know this
The best way to compete & win is to find the best player to play. And that takes giving each prospect consistent ABs & opportunity.

Bianco has had almost 300 plate appearances of opportunity and he's hit .193 in his career with that.
You act like there's not enough data on Bianco to see what he is, there's plenty. He's not some freshman or sophomore man, this is his FOURTH year here and 2nd head coach he's been under. I think they've got this figured out about now.

Despite Seneca Knight, I’m not sure there is a poster that I engage with regularly that has a poorer track record vs me than you do. Outside some of these baseball posters,
But yes, kept shouting that I think Bianco is absolutely better than Gio. Despite me never saying that once. Lol.

Then what the fk are you arguing about? If you dont think Bianco should be playing over Gio then STFU already.
Also got a great chuckle about the first part there. There's a reason you're known as Mr. bad take on here

You and I do not absorb baseball data the same.
You have 60% of his data that is poor, coming from sporadic playing time & ABs
And the 40% I’m talking about that is relatively positive, where he got regular ABs over a 12week period, that also happens to be his most recent cluster of consistent playing time. Sorry, I want to see more if the opportunity is there, which it is

The best run he's had he hit under .250 over the course of a season, just stop.
He's on his 2nd head coach now, different hitting coach and all. Do you think maybe, just maybe, they know what they're doing with him not having him in the every day lineup?
Like others have said, we have way too many good players to sit around for a whole 50-60 game season for Bianco's bat to MAYBE come around after waiting for several years.

All this data available & y’all keep coming back to batting average lol.
And your actually going to try & talk down to me. Haha

Bianco didn’t play at all during the fall due to injury, then was hitting well in the spring & had a small set back.
And up until the last few weeks, had no spot to play because he was forcing Berry in RF. Then Gio got hot & cooled, had his turn. There is a opening at that spot in RF that other people now deserve a shot at
Posted on 3/28/22 at 1:42 pm to Lester Earl
Bianco will prob get another look in RF. I just don't think he's very good. Each time you play him, you just hope he plays above his head. You pretty much know what you're going to get from Gio.
Posted on 3/28/22 at 1:44 pm to ell_13
My only knock on Gio is his bat speed is painfully slow.

Absolutely, because you make it very easy with the horrible takes you constantly have all the time on here and with everyone pointing and laughing you still dont seem to get it yet you always think you have some actual point

Yep. You are insecure because I am always wrong. Lol.

wow, so you're a psychologist and a baseball data specialist. Quite the renaissance man you are Lester
Posted on 3/28/22 at 1:59 pm to Lester Earl
You keep saying it is sporadic but he needs to do something to take advantage of those opportunities when PH or getting a spot start. If he isn't doing anything to take advantage of it then you can't justify giving him 3-4 starts in a row. Even if he is given the opportunity it will probably be to platoon him with Gio if Gio struggles with LHP. So it will still be sporadic. Bianco has not taken advantage of opportunities. Gio was given a few opportunities early and capitalized on those opportunities. He is still having pretty good at bats even with his avg not being great the last 2 weeks.

Nah I’m not a psychologist, just an observer of human behavior. I like to be right, but would never give off the impression that I’m insecure enough to show that it bothers me when I’m wrong.
I do, however, understand baseball data more than 99% of the population though. Whatever you want to label that as
