That doesn’t mean what I said Isn’t 100% true and you know it

Most of the teams we’ve played are bad and all of them have thrown arms from their pens.

Again

Shitty TEAMs and BULLPEN pitchers.

Neal actually has to try and hit SEC starters.

He also doesn’t get AB against teams like Grambling and Nicholls

And he hasn't been great at it. The fact of the matter is, Milazzo is batting over .400. You can twist and turn that however the hell you want, that fact still remains.

Here's a quote from you from before the season started.

quote:


Milazzo can’t fricking hit.

He bats .220 when we’re playing fricking Maine and Southern. I dont Think he could hit .292 in the SWAC


Like I said, you are simply just moving the bar around to make it fit into your locked in opinions.

And here's another.

quote:

Statistically he is extremely unlikely to. This isn’t emotion.

This is black and white numbers. His BA sucks


When the statistics back up his argument, it's "black and white numbers." Now that they don't back his argument, statistics all of a sudden aren't so black and white, are they? Now all kind of other factors get thrown into the mix.

Both sides of the Sammy/Hold That Tiger 10 debate have salient points, however, neither of Neal nor Milazzo is tearing up SEC pitching. It is good to see Milazzo's improvement at the plate, but his stats are coming against the weaker teams on the schedule, not SEC pitching.

SEC only stats for Neal and Milazzo:

Neal
9 games, 9 games started
5 for 26, .191 batting average
2 hr
3 rbis
5 BBs, 8 k, 1 hbp, 1 sac fly
on base 11 times in 33 plate appearances or .333 OBP
(5 of Neal's 8 strikeouts came in 9 at bats against Tennessee)

Milazzo
5 games, 0 games started
1 for 6, .167 batting average
0 hr
1 rbi
0 bbs, 1 k, 0 hbp, 0 sac fly
on base 1 time in 6 plate appearances or .167 OBP

***All stats compiled from www.lsusports.net

If you really believe Milazzo should start half our games you’re a fricking moron.

You are just a dumber version of Lester Earl. Your hypocrisy, and you flat out contradicting yourself gets called out, so you just start slinging insults.

I also never stated that Milazzo should be starting half of anything. You just made that up. Look back to preseason when you were spouting the BS I just quoted. I said they both should play, and Neal was probably the better hitter, but it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that Milazzo could improve enough hitting to play.

Are Central Connecticut State, Southern, Butler, Western Michigan, Lamar, Samford, etc considered good teams?

Let’s be real. Neal has played far more Aces in critical situations.

Nope.

And Neal was hitting a lot better when he was facing those teams.

Now Neal has to actually face SEC starters.

Do you think you are bringing earth shattering information? Nobody (except maybe Dylan Crews) consistently hits better pitching at a higher rate than bad pitching. If they did, then good pitching wouldn't be good pitching.

Nobody is sitting here saying Milazzo would bat .400 if he was starting full time. I'm just pointing out that YOU said that he couldn't hit in the SWAC, and now you changed your argument to he is only hitting because he's facing SWAC pitching. You are all over the place, and if you can't see how ridiculous what you are doing is, then you are beyond hope.

I said Milazzo has improved enough where he is serviceable as a hitter and got shite for it. Well 407 pretty damn serviceable.
