You’re not wrong but he’s raked at every level. It’s clear this lineup has holes and needs the best athletes and players there every single day. Florida does it and it looks like they are doing pretty well. It’s college. Let the kid hit.

It's not as bad of an idea as people think. Travinski or Frey need ABs because we really need another RH bat to step up.

Normally being that we're facing a righty I'd go with jobert over Travinski. But after joberts bullshite today I wouldn't want him on the field.

I'd probably put Kling in RF and Pearson to DH though.

It is time to start getting Beloso some of Joberts ABs

Meanwhile, you can't do that with Skenes since... you know... he hasn't hit.


He was literally a 1st team all American two way player just last year. You just claim that dude would discredit any of your examples while you ignore the entire first two years of Skenes career in Div 1 baseball

If they really needed AB's, they would've gotten more of them before SEC play.

Why take Tre off of 1B?


Because he’s desperate to get Beloso in the lineup. He posts something every couple of days about it.

Skenes needs to hit. He’s our 3rd best hitter and it ain’t even close.



You sound like a complete moron. You’re saying our 3rd best hitter is someone that hasn’t even swung a bat in a game? I seriously doubt he is our 3rd best hitter for one…. And I seriously doubt you see him hit in a game this season. But if you do see him hit…. That’s when all you morons need to worry.

Agree. I don’t think we see jones out of the lineup, but if we do it won’t be for Travanski

You love Beloso

I’d rather have Beloso in the lineup rather than Jobert at the moment.

Umm why are we even talking about Jones?

Jobert is the one that has no business ever being in the lineup again.

But Skenes has … not this season, but he has swung a bat in a Div 1 baseball game

A college career OPS hovering 1.121 (this is elite btw in case you’re only used to batting average) with 24 career home runs in 402 plate appearances

Just as a reference, Dugas has 32 career homers in 581 plate appearances.

Obviously Skenes wouldn’t have a career 1.100 OPS in the SEC (really good still btw in case you’re a BA kinda guy), but I feel comfortable saying he’d be better than the majority of LSU’s current lineup.

Skenes pitching is 100000000000000 times more important than anything he would do at the plate. We don’t need anything at all to affect his pitching in any way. Especially now that our bullpen is looking a little more shallow than we thought. Skenes simply doesn’t need to hit.

Why would him hitting on Saturday and Sundays affect his pitching on Fridays?

Ben Nippolt hit .308 last year at the Division 1 level. He is now at .176 and hasn’t even gotten to SEC pitching. Your theory doesn’t always work.

Either way, it’s simply not worth the risk having him hit at this point.

Him taking a pitch off the hand and breaking his thumb would certainly affect his pitching on Fridays I would think.
