re: Jake Brown against RH pitching is a cheat code

It’s almost as if Jay is trying to maximize each guys opportunity and put them in the best position to succeed.
Brown will have time on the Cape this summer to face lefties. Right now is not the time to throw away at bats for future development.

Exactly! Pearson is 100 points better against lefties.

At this point, just leave him in the lineup and let him figure it out.
A lot of fans just don’t accept that a tree falling in the woods makes noise if no one is there to hear it. They practice. I know you don’t get to see that, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. In one week of practice sessions Brown can get more left-handed pitches than he can see all season in actual games. If he can’t get it done there why in the world would you put him in actual games situations 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.

That’s what I was thinking.
I would be curious to see their SEC only comparisons against lefties.

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 doesn't hit LHs better with runners in scoring position. He had 1 hit in the entire SEC season with runners in scoring position and that was a bunt single against a RH. Brown had at least a couple of hits against LHs with runners in scoring position and 2 is more than zero!

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.

Criminal is to continually start Pearson all season and hit in the 3rd thru 5th spots the entire SEC season and have him be able to produce only 1 hit with runners in scoring position (a bunt single) for the entire SEC season. what a waste!

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.

Does anyone know Stanfields avg. Since sec play?

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

First off, if you’re talking about the bunt single against Texas A&M that was against a LHP. So your post is factually incorrect.
Second, are we seriously critiquing hitting with RISP against left handed pitchers in SEC play? Because that’s really getting into the weeds with a small sample size.

Third, here are the actual stats for Pearson against LHP, with RISP, in SEC play, best I can tell:
1/4, 2 RBI, 2 SH, 1 SF
So in 7 plate appearances for this hyper-specific scenario, he has a hit (which was a bunt), 2 other successful bunts, and 1 successful sac fly.

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

Are you in Jake Brown’s family? Did Josh Pearson take your girl?
