re: Jake Brown against RH pitching is a cheat code

2x2 is a head scratcher for you.

Exactly! Pearson is 100 points better against lefties.

Pearson has hit .333 vs LHP. Brown definitely isn’t near that

Is that for the full season or conference play?

All season I would assume

With the nearly same number of ABs before the last series.

Brown is somewhere near or <.200.

The poster above seems to think that same practice doesn’t provide the coaches information that confirms what they have seen all season during actual games.

Pearson is a better hitter by nearly 150 points vs lefties.
It is not hard.

Speaking of facts Pearson has 7 RBIs in SEC play despite batting in the 3 thru 5 holes almost exclusively and has exactly 1 hit with runners in scoring position in SEC play and has started 21 games Brown has 23 rbis in 15 games started. So you going to really argue Pearson should be starting over Brown.

None of this changes the fact that Pearson hits LHP much better than Brown.

Pearson has 35 free passes this season… Pearson has a higher OPS. A higher OBP by 50 points despite a 30 point difference in BA. Why do you think that?
He also left off the fact that Brown has been completely lost swinging at pitches a foot off the plate. The three-quarter arm slot with a ball breaking down is completely Mars to him. He has looked terrible.
There is absolutely no reason to start Browne over Pearson versus a left-handed pitcher. It would be criminal.

Brown will continue to be a sleeper this entire World Series.

I’d use him sparingly in the SEC tourney. Roll him out heavily as we progress to Omaha.

Sleeper? How do you figure?
He sits against a LHP. That’s without question. You may swap him with. Ethan Frey if Ethan looks lost for a few games he did Sunday and the pitcher has a hard breaking slider.

I would pitch brown down and away with a diet of back door breaking balls and up and in on his hands.
Nothing middle in.

despite what Matt Moscona says, everyone knows who Jake Brown is and knows he is a great player.

Yup. He is going to get some clutch innings this postseason

Why did Jake take your gf? I am just pointing out facts!. In an entire SEC season in which Josh almost always batted in the 3rd-5th holes and yet was only able to manage 1 hit with runners in scoring position and 7 rbis. Jake while starting less games hit for a much higher SEC average and drove in 23 runs. Are u seriously going to argue that a guy driving in 7 runs in an entire SEC schedule with more starts should be playing ahead of of someone who drives in 23 runs? You do understand 23 is more than 3x more than 7? Heck Brown had almost as many rbis in one game as Josh had the entire SEC schedule!!
