re: LSU's RBI problem as shown through HRs

Crews himself prefers to hit leadoff
That’s cool and all, but you kinda need to fill in what’s best for the team. And it’s not just about the guarantee of batting with no one on once a game. Hitting Crews 2nd or 3rd will put higher OBP guys in front of him.
I still don’t think simply swapping the batting order around will fix our woes. The order won’t fix the strikeouts.

Yeah, that's what I meant to type. Corrected.

Totals for the season less than 2 outs and RISP:
184 PAs, 139 ABs, 37 Hits, 28 BBs (2 IBB), 4 HBP, 36 Ks, 8 SFs, 2 SHs, 74 RBIs.
BA is 0.266, OPB is 0.375, K%/PA is 0.196
Great info. What do those numbers look like for the 6 SEC games only? I would imagine a significant drop-off for most everyone other than Morgan.

I liked Arnold in the 9-hole with Crews at leadoff.

Lower than our overall k rate of 21.8%. I'm a little surprised by that.

This seems like a bad ratio.

Crews is only batting 0.083 (1 for 12) but has 7 walks which is good for the 5th highest OBP at 0.421
At some point you have to think they'll start pitching to Crews because

The interesting cases are Doughty and Crews to me.
Doughty is the all or nothing guy. 25 PA. 21 AB. 6 H. 1 BB. 3 SF. 8 K. 14 RBI. Literally, hit or miss.
Crews I've already mentioned. 1 for 12 with 7 walks. Only 1 K though. I recall at least 3 of the outs I charted were line outs. It may have been 4.
Obviously, I was shocked with no Ks for Arnold. That's in 10 PAs for him. 3 for 8 with 2 walks and 7 RBIs.
Milazzo is also an interesting case even with a limited sample. 5 PAs. 1 BB. 1 H. 2 RBI. 1 K. I thought he was worse in these situations. But it turns out he's mostly in the position of having 2 outs when he comes up to bat.

Yeah its not as bad as I expected either. Maybe all the pop-ups get grouped as strikeouts in my memory

Morgan doesn't like batting leadoff, and he's 1/7 there.

He should play more.
If there is specific game where it looks like infield defense is going to be the determining factor, play Cranford. But then DH Arnold.
ETA: And he should bat 5th probably, but if you're really trying to break up the LH/RH, he could bat 6th with Drost/Sanford at 5. Or Beloso if the light comes on for him.

quote:A SF is just a flyout. Lots of guys are moving runners or scoring runners with groundball outs. Those only show up as RBIs or don't show up at all.
This seems like a bad ratio.
quote:Crews is getting pitches to hit, he's just not getting it done. From what I saw, it was mostly luck. Like I said before, at least 3 line outs.

For some reason I was thinking they would be an SH. Guess not

You're telling that lineup doesn't have potential?
Dylan Crews, Tre Morgan, and Cade Doughty are all guys that clearly show they belong on this stage.
Beloso, Dugas and Gio have shown that they are more than capable of hitting the ball well.
Arnold clearly has potential, as shown by his numbers.
Thompson and Millazo need to experience SEC pitching, and Millazo even had a couple hits this weekend.
I'm sorry that stating that our players have potential (which they clearly do) doesn't align with your "LSU is terrible" narrative.

The players need to execute more. There is a difference between a home run swing, and a swing to make contact and just try to put the ball in play. It seems like hitting all the homeruns is making everyone want to swing for the fence. We have a dh that hits .218. That is unacceptable. Morgan at first would choke up and go opposite field , now seems like trying to pull the ball out. I have seen one guy on the shift bunt the ball down 3rd base line. We need to steal more, we have very fast guys. When canazarro was there we stole alot , which in turns puts pressure on the pitcher and makes him make mistakes. But when they know you don't steal alot. Stealing gets in a pitchers head. Its the small things that win close games. Be aggressive

Never said terrible
Just way below the LSU standard
You can wish it to happen all you want. I guess that’s where we are different. I don’t live in a fairytale land.
