re: PM has to prepare Cabrera to pitch

I've thought the same thing about your responses many, many times in football topics.

You may be right here but I think we need more of a sample size to be certain.

What are these whiny off topic jabs about? I don’t even know what you’re trying to say. Either say it or don’t bother.

I wasn't whining about anything. You like to call people haters in football threads for doing much less than what you're doing here, especially myself. It's not off topic because you're saying you're surprised people are getting offended as I have been surprised when you've been offended and called me out for doing much less and having to twist words to do so.

I think you have a pretty valid topic here. I'm just not sure it's accurate to make a blanket statement that Army got a hit because of the righty lefty matchup. There's no guarantee that a lefty gets the out in that situation. It's certainly something to keep an eye on though.

Thank you, I guess my question is, because of those numbers, is it worth putting in Cabrera just to counter that? What if your RHP is really mowing them down?

I value constructive criticism. You can call it whatever you want. If I hate on everything LSU baseball or if I’m a fence rider then you can lump me in with the people. Get over man, who cares what I think? Just stop the whiny shite

It’s factual to say it is more likely they get a hit in that situation than not against a RHP.

There’s no guarantee a LHP gets him out but that’s a point someone makes who doesn’t watch much baseball. Nothing is guaranteed in baseball. But millions of sample sizes of at bat data says LHP>RHP in that situation

Why are you always so miserable? Lighten up dude.

If I cared enough, I'd go back and look at how many times Lester Earl has complained when Paul has pulled an on fire pitcher for "the matchup" and it hasn't worked out.

I don’t criticize PM’s game management often, so you won’t find much. I actually buy into his “gut decisions” mantra. I think a little of that is good for team morale. But there is loads of data available to make educated decisions, which over the course of the season helps to tilt things your way.

Not having any LHP’s is a blatant example of poor roster management though.

Lol I am miserable because you make some smart arse comment & I call you out on it after you were one of the ones dismissing the need for LHP this offseason? Lol ok guy. I bet even frickin Parkview has LHP

Classic. There’s nothing I can do to control how many lefties are on staff this year. I really really really like this freshmen class, do wish there were more lefties on this staff? F*ck yes but taking our best hitters mind off hitting is not something I would do as a coach. I just find it funny it was extremely quiet on this front during fall ball that’s all.

of course you would. Paul might have the worst gut instinct of any great coach I've ever seen. I'd actually appreciate it more if he stuck with stats. He seems to flip and flop between gut and metrics and almost always is wrong.
