Nice.
I just noticed your signature.
Promote Javi? I don't know about that though.
The rest is all good.
lol @ calling Aaron Fitt a thug.

re: Thoughts/Prediction for series vs. Kentucky this weekend...
Posted by Better Than Auburn on 4/5/13 at 9:48 am to Brageous
Like most here seem to think:
2 out of 3. Lose Sunday.
I'm inclined to think we should switch Nola and Eades - but if it ain't broke...right?
Although, would be great to see Glenn step up - especially since we got the lefty vs. lefty matchup going. Granted I'm sure UK hitters are used to seeing lefty pitching by now.

it's mainly a play on the local band Better Than Ezra - and when I created it - back in I don't know 2006? Auburn was perhaps our biggest rival.

Aaron Fitt said that UK's Sunday starter (Litrell?) might be the best Sunday starter in the nation.
UK killed us last year with the short RF porch.
Being that Glenn is a lefty perhaps he can put up some zeroes against UK's lefty heavy lineup.
On the flipside - Katz and Bregman have been carrying us at the plate lately. So UK will have to contain them - maybe even try pitching around them. Rhymes and Ibarra have to be ready to carry the rope.

re: Who do we put in the 2-hole in the order going forward?
Posted by Better Than Auburn on 5/24/12 at 6:54 pm to AtlantaLSUfan
Rhymes obviously has the best OBP - at .519
then Katz at .427
then Nola at .426
Snickeris .383 (in limited AB's)
Hanover .382
Ross .364
Moore .331
Jones .305
Fields .294
that's why Jones and Fields should be towards the bottom of the lineup

I'm on board with Nola being leadoff. He's 3rd in terms of hits on the team - and he has the most Walks. He's good for a clutch hit every now and then and he's got a little speed on the base paths. Makes the most sense.
His OBP is .426 (compared to Katz's at .427)

i agree. I think our 2009 team was our best overall.
Considering there's more parity in College baseball now.

it's strange how most of us seem to be in agreement of having Nola at leadoff - considering he batted in the 5 hole almost the whole season.

Word. When you got a 1st round pick in the 6 hole. JHC.
Then a future 1st rounder batting down in the line-up as well.
Just not even fair.
8 guys batting over .300
and we had Landry on the bench too who wasn't bad. Had 12 bombs that year.

Yeah Dozar can be our first PH off the bench (vs. a Righty)
Although Slaid was money recently...

Thing about putting Rhymes leadoff is he's batting over .600 I believe with RISP
so you want to give him as many RBI opportunities as possible.

Posted by Better Than Auburn on 5/24/12 at 4:59 pm to Better Than Auburn
if anyone is questioning who to put at DH
Snickeris or Dozar?
Consider Snickeris is hitting .319
vs. Dozar at .264
and Dozar only has 1 more RBI in 34 more AB's
and Snick has a 8:1 AB/K ratio vs. almost a 3:1 for Dozar

I could see:
Nola
Hanover
Rhymes
Katz
Ross
Snickeris
Moore
Jones
Fields
but kinda sad compared to our 2009 line-up. I know the bats are a big factor but looking back-
LeMahieu
Schimpf
Dean
Gibbs
Ochinko
Mitchell
Mahtook (not quite the 2011 version I realize)
Hanover/Helenihi
Nola
straight sick

Jones strikes out way too much to be leadoff. He's too aggressive often.
re: All the regionals that project Texas to the LSU regional
Posted by Better Than Auburn on 5/24/12 at 4:33 pm to gjackx
Yeah TX has to be on the bubble.
They had a 14-10 Conf. record that will help them - and only thing you could point to for their resume' being better than ours last year.
Of course we all know the Big 12 isn't quite on the level of the SEC.

ideally you'd put Rhymes ahead of Katz but we haven't had a consistent good hitter with power to put in the #5 hole. Nola is probably our 3rd best hitter but he's more of a #2 type IMO.
With Ross and Snickers back in the line-up today - it seemed to give us a big boost. I like Edward and Dozar but they just aren't cutting it.
And with Ross back at catcher and Snicks at DH - that would give us 6 guys hitting .300 in the line-up.

Nola
Hanover - his average is up to .300 and he's our all-time leader in Bunts.
Katz
Rhymes
Ross
Snickeris DH
Moore

not to be negative but remember last week we won game 1 - then I think we got a little complacent. Don't expect that this weekend - but just sayin'.
