Neal has benefitted but has also taken good ABs against good pitching all year, save for the last 5-6 games. He has hit some HRs against good pitching and barreled many other balls that have been caught

This narrative that Milazzo is worse than Neal because only one of them has the chance to hit easy pitching is a downright lie.
Milazzo is 1/7 in SEC play. 0 walks.
Neal is 5/32 6 walks. 2 home runs.
Milazzo is facing mid weeks pitchers and bullpen arms at the end of games that aren’t close.
He has no power and he doesn’t walk a lot. Despite the insane gap in BA his OB% is like .022 higher.
Maybe give him some SEC starts or maybe let him continue to have a good season.

He has 4 walks and only 6 Ks. That’s not on him. It means he’s getting pitched to. And he’s making the most of it. Are you saying he should take more pitches? Because based on the stats, it would just mean he Ks looking more.

LSU has them as Milazzo at .432 and and Neal at .411.
.021 difference.
Neal has 21 walks on the season. He’s actually pretty good at drawing walks.
I would wager a good chunk of his SOs are very looking at very close strike 3s.

Sorry. I though you were talking the difference between Milazzos avg vs his OBP.

You sure about this? Hunt said yesterday that Neal was hitting .139 in SEC play with only 1 extra base hit (that home run). 13 Ks to 6 walks.
I know he has 3 home runs, and the 1st was OOC. Who did he hit his 2nd against?

100% sure.
1 HR against Arkansas and 1 vs Tennessee. Both solo shots.

Yes, and then he shows his arse every time afterwards playing the ONE position where showing your arse to the ump can be detrimental. He hasn’t earned the right to act like that yet. Not that you ever should, but he’s not Dylan Crews or Tre Morgan in their 3rd year of starting in the SEC.

Ahh, thanks. I wasn’t arguing with you—I literally couldn’t remember—just trying to figure out who was right.

Y’all act like she’s complaining about one’s dead center.
A lot of them are borderline and it’s frustrating.

Taking borderline strike threes is a good thing? And most of the ones I’ve seen are definite strikes. I don’t get your point.

Most I have Seen aren’t definite strikes.
He needs to try and protect the zone but he’s getting 0 favorable calls.

Even if they were ALL borderline, if they’re all getting called, at what point do you have to start swinging at them?
I love that he hits left-handed, love that he has pop, and love that he takes pitches and draws walks (though at a much lower rate in SEC play than OOC). But he’s not Dylan Crews who hits with 2 strikes as well as none. He may need to start jumping on strikes earlier in the count rather than trust his ability with 2 strikes to put the ball in play, to judge what is strike or a ball, and/or trust that the ump will call it like he(Neal) sees it. Ring me up looking on a borderline call once or twice, shame on you. 10 times? Maybe shame on me.

At this point it think it's to Neal's benefit for Milazzo to get a couple of starts on the weekend. He seems to have hit the freshman wall. Try to take some pressure off of him
Posted on 4/12/23 at 11:38 am to ell_13
You can’t say “they’ve mostly been strikes” And the get on your high horse when I say most have been balls.
“Or really Zero?”
Of course some have been strikes. And he needs to defend the play, but he also should have walked on a few of them.
And like I said In my last post he needs to start trying to protect the zone, he’s almost too focused on walking.

Slaughter/Reid, isn’t a good comparison, because the guy comparing him to had a discernible OBP skill.
What can you really expect with Milazzo offensively vs SEC pitching that outweighs the high points we’ve already seen from Neal?

Probably nothing, but I’m not sure that’s the right argument. Neal is tired, both physically and mentally. He needs some breaks to recharge so that he’s ready for the postseason when we’ll need his offense.
It’d be one thing if he played 2nd base, and you could let him battle through it. But catching is too taxing to be doing it as a freshman 3 games a weekend, and he’s started taking it to the plate.
