Why do you continue this argument? Is the argument Jones always had protection in previous season but not this year?
You had Tommy last year, and Jared served as protection for him
have you seen the amount of times Jones has been walked/pitched around already?

high level from Braswell last season
we have different definitions of high level. He's a bottom of the order bat and I agree if he bats .300 down there then that will work
But he also has a big looping swing that makes him a streaky hitter and he can get into a rhythm of striking out and hitting weak cans of corn to the outfield.

Milam and Larson saw tons of SEC pitching last season already.
Yep, and SEC pitching coaches saw a lot of those guys
Like the fact that Larson struggles mightily againt lefties
This is how sophomore slumps exist and we've seen it happen before
Not saying that will be the case, but also pointing out that one of the guys you mention here hasn't even been in the starting lineup lately because of a lack of production

Why? Is it because they scored 75 of their 128 runs on the season in 4 games against Hofstra and UNCA???
Well, that's better than what LSU has produced against similar opponents so...
Yes I so give Tennessee the benefit of the doubt because Vitello has proven to be the best offensive coach in the conference IMO. Combine that with the early evidence from this season and I do believe the Vols will likely be the top offensive team in the SEC.
Can LSU also be one of the top offensive teams? I think they can be.
The standard is Omaha and that's how I look at the team. I understand if some think I'm being too harsh when discussing what I perceive to be potential issues that could limit them from reaching that standard.

I think it's still important to work Arrambide in relatively often though. Even in conference.
Arrambide is just so athletic looking back there. You have to think with reps, he will catch on and on-board very quickly

quote:Kill yourself. He' hit 8th in the first weekend strictly for R/L purposes. Since then, he's hit in the 8 spot twice and was at 5/6 every other game. His place in the order has zero bearing on his ability to hit a baseball. You are retarded.
Milam came on late and has had an encouraging start, however, if he raked he wouldn't bat 8th in the order.

what are your question marks with Milam?
He has 1K in 53 plate appearances. He hits for extra bases. He is a great baserunner.
What are you seeing?

That he hates LSU baseball

quote:He doesn't have them. He dug his heels in really badly over the offseason, saying that Milam wasn't a star, and his (literally) only argument was sometimes he hits low in the order.
what are your question marks with Milam?
When pressed on it, he said "his ceiling is Nick Madrigal and his floor is Cole Freeman" because he is a shorter middle infielder. Milam topped Madrigal's career HR total as a freshman and with 3 more home runs, will surpass the collegiate HR totals of Nick Madrigal and Cole Freeman combined.
He's clueless. Won't present an actual argument. Just conjecture and gold post moving.
Oh he also classified Antoine Duplantis as a star (not disagreeing) despite freshman year Milam having a better season than Duplantis ever had at the plate, while playing great defense. He then fell back on the fact that Duplantis hit in the middle of the order.

Ah, i dont usually read his posts. Does not generally know ball

I unfortunately got into a back and forth with him in the "we have no stars" thread. It was unbeleivable.
Jones was considered a "star" when it was thought he wouldn't return. This was used as a slight against Jay, where our genius friend said that he didn't take pro scouts evaluations into his definition of "star."
Then, once Jones decided to come back, he was "a good college bat that pro teams don't value" and he was no longer a star. It went on like that for about 20 pages.
For your viewing pleasure if you want to get mad and not do work.
Deep down he's just an anti Jay guy who ultiamtely discounts '23 because they weren't his guys, PM players, good pitching coach carrying him, etc.
He won't give Jay credit for the success of a player unless Jay signed them (cannot be a guy previously committed, no matter how much he improved under Jay) out of high school (cannot be JUCO/transfer. Those guys were already proven and Jay simply "stroked Richard Lipsey's check book") to LSU (anything done at prior stops including Kris Bryant, Jacob Berry, etc., do not count) where they were a position player (pitchers don't count because Jay doesn't coach pitchers.)
That's what you're dealing with

Your argument is Jones needs protection, he is smashing the shite out of the ball to open this year, Dickinson is also killing it and is an all american. I think he'll be alright.

Anyone with a brain would consider someone hitting .311 while playing through the SEC to be high level, its not debatable.
This is his 4th year starting in the conference now.

Milam only got better as the season went along...That's with plenty of film on him.

agreed with pretty much everything other than part of your 3rd base eval.
I don't think either have shown that much defensively to say they were better than Tommy's glove last year. Reeves had a bunch of errant throws outside of this weekend and the bats are nowhere near Tommy's.
By far our weakest position though, as you graded it. I would have went with a C-

2B A Dickinson
To me he has been the biggest story for this team up to this point. He has been $ at the plate and even more clutch defensively. He has exceeded expectations to this point.

You tried so hard in this thread to be just a normal poster, but you can't help but revert to being the complete shite poster you are. You may have a worse reputation than NicolasTiger on this board, and that's saying a lot.

No clue why anyone engages with him at all. Everyone knows I have zero issue disagreeing with people as long as they argue in good faith. He’s a worse troll than poncho.
