re: Tomorrow’s lineup (speculation)

know this board is in love with Reid, but he is batting 246 for the year. He was about 320 halfway through. That means he’s around the Mendoza line since. And he’s worse against lefties! Hughes is every bit as good as Reid against lefties (both are almost auto-outs), and he is better on defense. If the choice is between those two you go with Hughes until the lefty leaves the game. But hopefully there is another choice.

This is just completely wrong

Another way to look at your argument is that Reid was well above .320 for the first half of the season.

Give me a guy who I know has at least had a successful stretch in the past. Hughes has been playing for 2 straight years and he hasn’t done ANYTHING at the plate. And worst of all, he can’t even get productive outs or work a count.

Reid atleast pressures the pitcher to throw strikes. You could get Hughes out with your eyes closed.

The irrational hate that some of yall have for Hughes has yall seeing things that aren't there.

First, I don’t hate the guy. I hope he figures it out.

Second, irrational suggests that there isn’t any evidence to support the claim. That’s just absurd. He is clearly our worst hitter. And I don’t think the slight advantage his glove has over Reid is worth the automatic out at the plate.

It’s a matter of opinion. To say it’s irrational is, well, irrational I would say

Ginn is a righty. He’s also been on a pitch count due to soreness. Work the count. He’s a good competitor but he’s a freshman and can be rattled.

When is "scoring" not important?? In the immortal words of Jim Hawthorne, "Runs are important in baseball."

You have perfected the art of being a douchebag. Figured it wouldn’t take you long to get here and downvote me.

Tell me what was unreasonable about what I said. I was trying to give the guy some credit, he has a valid argument in certain situations, just not the situation we face tonight

It's pretty obvious that saying "in a game where scoring may be important" is simply stupid.

---

If scoring is always priority number 1 then why is Hughes ever in the game arsehole?

He is the least likely player on the team to contribute to getting a run across the plate. You going to dispute that?

There are certain games where strong defense may be the top priority and there are some games where offensive firepower is the top priority. You know that. So let’s just be honest, you wanted to pick a fight

So have you now amended your original term from "important" to "top priority"?

I hope you realize those two words/phrases do not mean the same thing. Something can be "important" but not be the "top priority."

Please explain how one "fights" on a message board.

You really are a sensitive Sally if you believe disagreements on a message board is the equivalent of a fight.

There is a thread a few below this that says

Projected line up...what you got? Posted by GeauxTime9 on 5/24/19 at 9:51 am We need runs boys...

So tell me why you didn’t jump all over that?

You called me out randomly last night in the game thread for correctly stating a game situation.

---

I didn't call you out and it wasn't last night.

It was in the Miss St game two nights ago. And the game situation you posted was incorrect.

You were displaying what Saban called the Catastrophe Syndrome when he coached at LSU by continuing to harp on the play when Duplantis tried to sac bunt over Josh Smith in the 9th inning and popped out to the pitcher instead.

You referred to it as "that horrible bunt call..."

Then you posted:

quote:

---

We had 1 out with runners on first and second. Dups popped the bunt first

---

All I wrote replying to your post was "Wrong."

That's NOT calling you out. At least that doesn't call out a "normal" poster who isn't as thin skinned as you are.

We had only one runner on base (Josh Smith) and there were no outs when Duplantis tried to bunt Smith over and popped out to the pitcher instead.

I thought it was the right call considering it was the top of the 9th and the score was tied. It was bad execution by Duplantis.

After Dups popped out, Beloso walked to give us runners on first and second. Then Cabrera struck out and Watson hit into a fielder's choice forcing Beloso out at second base.

I don’t give a frick or respect you because you have grandstand seats and Paul asked you to buy a plaque once?

On the contrary, apparently that means a WHOLE lot more to you than it does to me.

Mainieri asked hundreds of baseball donors, not just me, to donate to raise the money he needed to build the new workout facility next to the batting cage building. And as I already explained to you, I declined to donate. I don't understand why you continue to make a big deal out of me NOT donating to build the new weight room and workout facility. That's some kind of f'ed up.....

You really need to get over yourself. I rarely reply to you.

In fact, I just checked yours and my posting history and since the SEC tournament started on Tuesday I've replied to you in a grand total of TWO THREADS....this one and the Mississippi State game thread Wednesday night.

You just want to blow out of proportion every reply I make to you to be some type of personal injustice. Grow up, snowflake, and stop .
