I don’t think anyone disagrees with you.

But with the additions to the staff, having guys like Money and Hellmers and middle relief is great to have

People like to say this and yes he mostly was good against weak competition.

He also went 6 and 2/3 giving up only 1 run with 7 K’s against Oklahoma who ended up being a pretty good team.

I was looking at some of Jacques video from last week, he had some video of Money from a side angle. His extension was very poor, like he was nursing a lower body injury.

He will never hit 300 vs SEC pitching. But he can definitely finish the season around 240.

4th time saying this is the charm

Maybe they will surprise me, but I don't think you see either of them pitching very many meaningful innings.

Bad take


Explain then.

You are trying to attribute value & production to things that do not have a value when that is your baseline as a hitter.

There is no value to consistently getting out. None.

Please shut the frick up with your constant bullshite. You argue all day, every day, with the exact same talking points over and over and over again. Everybody knows Milazzo isn't a good hitter. His value to the team is defensively. Neal will get plenty of opportunities to prove you right.

"There is no value to consistently getting out. None."

Just for argument because this won't happen. What if he hits a sac fly every time he bats, moving over runners and occasionally scoring runners from third? I think even you would consider that value.

The best hitters still get out 70% of the time. We are hoping Milazzo gets out less than 80%. Odd to think about that it’s just a 1/10 difference.

anyone else on the roster could do that and not hit .190 in the meantime

on a macro level that is not valuable.

If he's still stepping in the bucket, I might go into cardiac arrest

He’s not. A few of the hits I saw were to the opposite direction. Line drives between first and second.

You are going over board in your denigration of Milazzo at the plate.

Saying he has no value is ridiculous.

That’s baseball.

"Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium.”

I think they changed the SF in MLB not counting as an AB only if a runner scores

Not sure exactly when that happened, but it's been awhile

That has been the case forever, they’re talking about obp not avg.

Thanks again BayTiger and Scuba.

15 to 25 plate appearances is a decent sample for comparison.

One thing that the coaches probably track that is not part of what shows up in these stats: Who are the plate appearances against?

Thompson, Dugas, Pearson are proven SEC-level players that are currently struggling a bit.

Jones, Kling, Nippolt, Frey, Paul, Neal are newcomers that are doing well so far.

The pre-conference games will tell the full story.
