re: Jake Brown against RH pitching is a cheat code

Ummm 3-5 hole hitters are supposed to drive in runs as well how do you explain Jake driving in 23 if the other players weren't getting on base? Do they purposely not get on base only when Josh is playing or is Josh a career .230 hitter just not hit when runners on base or not hit much at all in SEC play period?

Pearson is hitting that at about a .340+ clip. Who else can say that that is a Lefty?
That comes down to about .256 in games he has started against lefties in SEC play. 10 hits in 13 games he has started against lefties.
The bigger argument imo is why Pearson has ever started an SEC game against righties. I count 4 hits in 8 SEC starts against RHP. If we don’t have a better left handed bat on the bench than that, then that is truly concerning.
Thankfully he hasn’t started against a righty since the Tennessee series.
ETA: those numbers can be skewed a little bit bc there are undoubtedly some games where a lefty started and he faced a righty at some point and vice versa.

I’d rather a player that gets on base over .130 more than one that doesn’t from one that does not versus LHP.
We all agree Brown should be hitting versus righties. Do you start Brown in left and move Curriel to center? That’s up for discussion but hey Curriel looks lost versus good lefties now also..
That is all everyone is telling you. You know more than Johnson I take it. Do you kid.

First of all son I'm not a kid. Secondly any knowledgeable person would take an improving sophomore over a senior who has been a .230 career SEC hitter any day. Brown may become a better hitter of LH pitching over his career if given more opportunities. He has already proven to be substantially more productive hitter given 23 rbis in 15 starts vs 7 rbis in 21 starts by Pearson. Again Pearson produced 7 rbis in the entire SEC season Brown produced 5 in one SEC game!

You’re a kid to me even if you’re over 50. If you played ball in Louisiana BR area in the early 80’s, I may have umped your games.
2023 doesn’t have a natty without Josh Pearson. That’s a fact.
He is the most clutch player and leader on this team and Johnson has sat him.
So Brown had 1 less AB versus lefties THIS SEASON than Pearson before the SC series and is hitting .130+ less than him and maybe even worse than that in conference.
Brown doesn’t need more opportunities this season to prove what we all know. What’s best for this season is Pearson hit in that spot.
Experimenting is over. The book is out and we’ve seen enough.
Let him go to the Cape and get work in during the summer. He will have a chance next year to prove he is the better choice. I don’t see a lot of players that would be a better option than him.

Your living in the past Josh got hot for a week in 2023 and hasn't done anything of note since. He is a career .230 SEC hitter with exactly 1 hit with runners in scoring position the entire SEC schedule this year! If you are right and a career .230 SEC hitter who had all of 1 hit with runners in scoring position the entire SEC season is the most clutch player on this team then the Tigers are in alot of trouble. I will take Milam at the plate in a clutch situation over Josh any day and Brown twice on Sunday!!

Just talked to Brown and Pearson. They both said for everyone to STFU and quit worrying about who’s playing, who’s not, who hits better against lefties or righties and just be happy they’re both on the team that’s gonna be busting their arse to bring another Natty to Baton Rouge. The last thing they said was if any of you experts wanna give them advice on how to hit off a lefty throwing 96 with 21” induced vertical rise, and a 88mph tight slider and a change-up that looks like a yo-yo coming at you, they will be happy to listen to you if you ever made it as far as they have playing this game.

PROVE IT WJTH STATS WHAT YOURE SPEWING OVER AND OVER.
PEARSON HAS REVERSE SPLITS VERSUS LEFTIES DUMBASS. It means hit hits for a higher average VERSUS LEFTIES.
Brown may be hitting<.100 if what you’re sawing is true. I can’t recall him hitting ANYTHING versus a lefty.
Post all the stats or STFU.

Pearson is a career .230 hitter in SEC play and this season despite having hit almost exclusively in the 3 thru 5 spots in the lineup has only been able to generate 7 rbis all SEC season and has only had 1 hit with runners in scoring position in SEC play. Pearson started 21 SEC games and Brown started 16 and was responsible for 23 rbis and 5 in one SEC game which is almost as many as Pearson has generated in the entire SEC season. Obviously facts are difficult for you to comprehend so I will break it down for you. Batting .230 for 4 years in SEC play and having only 7 rbis in an entire SEC season despite batting 3rd-5th in the majority of SEC games are not characteristics of a good hitter. Hope that wasn't too in depth for you to understand...now why don't you STFU!

Yeah and for some reason JJ wants to keep starting Pearson instead
I love to see Jake at the plate but every time a flyball is hit his way, I get a nervous feeling in my gut.

Kid has a bright future, but the people on the Rant acting like he’s 2000 Bonds right now need to relax.
He and Larson will be better next year having gone through this year. Sometimes not being an everyday starter allows the player to learn and improve and take big leaps the next season.
Ethan Frey comes to mind with those two. The way Larson and Brown are being used is going to pay off. The Rant just gets fan favorites and don't see the development side.

Link? Everyone keeps posting different numbers for Pearson versus LHPs but I have not seen anything sourced yet.

I'll go with Jake at any occasion he comes to bat! He's got power galore and only gonna get better!

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?
