Because he's the worst hitter in the lineup?

Or a better question...why does LSU want a 9 hole DH?

Because everyone who can hit better has found a spot on defense?

This is a pretty silly question.

WHAT?

Did anyone not notice this? That's against the rules. Gonna let Coach Martin know and put a stop to it before the lineups are exchanged. Can't believe this is happening.

Striiiiiiiike one.

Batting ninth does not inherently make him the worst hitter.

I understand LSU showing love to Beau, but is there a better DH option with some speed sitting on the bench?

So he can get us back to the top of the lineup.

Maybe we should remove one of our best defensive players from playing defense, just so our DH can move up in the lineup.

Jesus Christ you are dumb.

I get playing Beau, he's been a mainstay, but wish they had given Rankin Woley and Mason Templet some more opportunities. Woley specifically looked like a guy who could rake. It's like the just shut down the DH position once we really got into conference play.

I agree, it's not a good look that you think the best guy for DH is a guy you put 9th in the order because you just dont trust him to come through for you.

Beau sure as hell isn't who we want batting 9th... he's slow and isnt consistent enough, not to mention he chases that outside breaking ball like a fool...

that being said, I think Paul should give some consideration to somebody else... either slaughter or reid

Maybe DH Watson and put Jordan in center field. Would that make you happy. Then the DH would be hitting 5th.

That was his spot during the Little League World Series.

Jesus. This thread has gone full retard.

Nine hole is typically not your worst hitter!

If all of your best hitters also happen to start on defense, then your DH will not have a great spot in the batting order.

It's not a problem to play the DH near the bottom of the order in this scenario.
