re: Jones st 3rd

He wants the bats of Brown, Pearson and Frey in the lineup at the same time. However with a big series with Tenn coming up, we can't afford errors at 1st base. I expect him to switch back for that series. JJ is just tinkering.

And id rather have Pearson in the lineup of Frey.

Just like how you would rather Reaves be in the lineup over Braswell. I’m sure some would agree and some would disagree.

No I wouldn't. Reaves proved to be too costly defensively at third base. And on top of it he didn't make up for it enough with his bat. If Reaves was constantly smashing the ball then tonight's experiment doesn't happen.

And that's the problem with you. Just because the total moron Double OH repeats something non stop doesn't make it true. Just like you bought into Seek Greatness' Guidry isn't injured nonsense for weeks.

I was more laughing at you saying it's debatable whether Frey is a better hitter than Braswell. However, I would rather Pearson's bat over Braswell as well. But it's all a moot point. Braswell will be back at third for Tennessee.

Let’s see how the game goes Lezzy

Jones does have a quick snare and big frame to get to hot shots within his radius. Arm strength not an issue. And if Tanks can field the bunt and throw on the run then Jonesy probably can

Given Braswell’s limited bat and Reaves poor glove, why not try it in the midweek to get a better bat in the lineup

I just don’t understand the point of shuffling guys around just for the hell of it.

It's not just for the hell of it though. We have been, and possibly will be in plenty more, situations where Braswell's bat will need to be substituted out later in a game when we are in search of runs. JJ needs to play with these options to make sure it can be trusted for those spots.

I’d say the same thing if they would have put Jones at catcher for this game. You could easily say all of the same stuff you are saying now in that scenario

---

No because LSU has multiple people who can be inserted at catcher. LSU's options defensively at third base are more limited. This isn't really that difficult.

quote:

---

I believe Reaves is a better hitter than Braswell. That does not equal me rather having Reaves in the lineup, like you said. Reaves obviously hasn't handled third base very well.

---

I mean if we want to add qualifiers, would it make it better if a said “as long as Pearson continues to not be able to hit SEC pitching, I’d rather have Braswell in the lineup”? I’ll change my official stance to that if it makes it better.

It won't even come down to a Pearson vs Braswell situation. It's Pearson vs Frey vs Brown whenever we are talking about who starts in SEC series. Unless Jones flashed serious leather at third, and Brown handles first base, then this is just a late game substitution test. Braswell will start versus Tennessee, as he should.

Not really. I don’t listen to anything Double Oh says. I think he’s probably a troll. This is a direct quote from you:
quote:
I'm not shitting on Braswell at all. I've said I believe he will always have a role on this team. It's just my opinion that LSU will be better (at the plate) with Reaves in the lineup.

That’s similar to how I feel about Pearson.

I just don’t understand the point of shuffling guys around just for the hell of it. I’d say the same thing if they would have put Jones at catcher for this game. You could easily say all of the same stuff you are saying now in that scenario.

Now go find the quote where he said Reaves hit in Juco he will hit here. He had 28 HRs in Juco. Please go find that post for me

Holy frick. I tried discussing this with you. You are too damn stupid to comprehend anything I'm saying. I give up.

I know what you are saying. You’re trying to talk about defensive substitution stuff. I think in a postseason game if Braswell needs to be subbed out, they aren’t move Jones to 3rd. I don’t know what they’ll do but I don’t think it will be that. That’s just my opinion. They can move guys around and make it work.

But go ahead keep calling me dumb or you can say I’m one of the worst posters on this board like you say about everyone.
