re: The Larson PH for Frey

Larson looks clueless at the plate. When he misses he misses by 2’. He made one good swing which I am happy he did. He has the potential but I tend to agree with not making that move last night. Now Frey could have had the same result. Our pitching was outstanding last night.

Johnson prob had a gut feeling.
I feel bad for Larson and Frey. Neither have been given the grace to work through any issues. In Larson's case, cannot get consistent ABs to figure anything out.

Frey has been given alot more rope this season than larson.

If he gets a hit in that spot, he's the best coach ever? What a move? Relax, we won the game. Monday morning QB

Yes, he has, because he has been a monster in mid-week and respectable for most of the SEC slate. No one hit last weekend @ Auburn including Frey.
An 0-7 can tank your average from around 300 to .240 when you dont have the sample size of ABs that regular starters have.

It was an opportunity for Larson after delivering the night before. I was thinking of pinch hitting for Jared Jones because of his slump, man would I have gotten roasted by this group. I think what kept JJ in (besides his bat pop) is his excellent defense at 1st base.

He made a good swing on Thursday, which earned him some ABs last night. What did he do with them? Struck out twice in 2 ABs

Frey should never start against a RHP.
He's this year’s example of Jay forcing it

His batting isn’t the worst on the team. And despite being down for him, he’s still getting on base better than Milam, Brown, Hernandez, Reaves, and Braswell no matter who is pitching. You guys make it sound like Larson is a black hole in the lineup. We can keep him on the bench, watch him transfer, and then crush it next year for someone else. In the meantime, let’s keep giving everyone else endless tries to work out of their slumps.
To be clear, I’m not sure I’d have Larson in the starting lineup tonight, but I’d like him to be getting more chances than he has been.
The “fans” shitting on him on the board is insane. He literally proved last year that he does better against better pitching. That is something our stars are not doing now. We have some guys propping up their stats bc they crush it against shitty midweek pitching. Give me the guy that does better against sec pitching any day.

Yes. We should definitely judge someone that k’s twice immediately after crushing a three run clutch shot. His sample size this season isn’t enough to discount what he did last year. If we are only going on this year’s stats, everyone need to take a closer look at some of the everyday guys.

He’s been given chances in the midweek and didn’t do anything with it. SEC play isn’t the time to get someone out of a slump. The other dudes who have been given chances have crushed non-conference pitching. Larsen hasn’t even been able to do that this year.

On that note. John Pearson is at .471. He should be starting over everyone.

Tbf the last few Larson midweek ABs I think he drew walls against whatever scrub was left in to rot in a rout. He hasn't had many meaningful ABs of late. Thurs he got one and mega delivered. Last night was a crash back into reality. I'd still like to see him get some bats. Been saying for weeks he should get a midweek start to see how he does.
Posted on 4/19/25 at 3:20 pm to notbilly
I'm a huge Larson fan, cause I think he has a ton of potential upside. Very happy that he hit the homerun and I would love for him to find a way to consistently contribute. But man if I'm being honest, he still just seems to press a lot at the plate and swing at bad pitches. Which is very strange because last year one of his best qualities was his patience and ability to draw a lot of walks. I thought he could become like a Pearson type with a high bat IQ, but ever since his slump started this year it kind of seems like he's pressing more and more and just swinging at a lot of stuff out of the zone. I really hope the coaches can get through to him and make him realize that even though he's getting limited opportunities at the plate, patience and drawing a walk is still super valuable and will get him consistent playing time way more than chasing and striking out so often.

I don’t remember making any claim that OBP should be the determining factor….just funny how someone can so blatantly be wrong while attempting to mock someone.

OBP was used as the sole reason that he’s been more effective than Milam, Hernandez, Braswell, etc. which obviously as pointed out was a pretty poor stance to take.

Either you need a dictionary or a better look at the stat sheet.

I can keep explaining it but I can’t make you understand it. Frey, Jones, Braswell, Pearson, etc have all had similar slumps and keep getting chances. Pearson bats frequently in the 4 spot and has 5 RBIs in SEC play.

That’s objectively false. We have guys on the team that have excelled in SEC games and struggled otherwise. Braswell is batting .310 in SEC and .200 in non-SEC. Hernandez is another one that does better against SEC pitching than shitty pitching.

Now tell me what those numbers were entering SEC play….Braswell is prob the only dude that’s even arguable. He was also benched for Reaves. Then Reaves started doing poorly and Braswell replaced him. You also have to consider the positions these guys play. We have a ton of OFs. You can’t compare two third basemen jockeying for the same position. Or a catcher when his backup can’t hit either.
The only spot you can put Larson is RF or DH. He’s competing with 4 guys for 2 spots. And with a 17 game sample size, that weekend against Auburn where the whole team shite the bed (.188 team BA) is going to make everyone’s numbers look much worse than they’ve actually been

Again, my comment had nothing to do with either side of said argument and was strictly commenting on the posters ability to understand what the word “objectively means”
