re: Unbelievable stats for Kling and Milazzo today on Upon Further Review

In your defense if you are looking at the box score under the lsu schedule it doesn’t include hbp

That is where I looked.

Yep. Was too busy watching Monte Carlo to remember that one HBP in that game. Excellent memory you have there and surely not because you simply looked up the stats from a different source than me

Kling is a sacrificial lamb and hes been hit so many times ........

Why does that garner so much conversation?

Because we have a contingent of the fan base, in every sport, that can identify when a player is struggling but are unable to see that maybe he's still the best option we have. If you're going to take someone out of the lineup, that means someone on the bench has to replace them. Unfortunately this year, anyone not playing has, at most, done marginally better than Kling offensively, so then you're just sacrificing a huge upside defensively by taking him out. Bingham is the only guy on the bench right now who would even be considered but he's been dreadful at the plate the last month, even worse than Kling, and has been bad defensively all year. This is just one of those times where we're not going to have a good offensive replacement so you're going to go with the most elite defensive guy, and that's Kling.

Well Rudy being the best swimmer and making it to the egg first doesn’t make sense either…some things just aren’t meant to be understood

just don’t understand this Kling thread or the ones calling for him to be benched

Because lsu fans love to hold players to their recruiting rankings & talk themselves into unrealistic expectations

It’s why milazzo can hit .240 & play solid defense & be labeled as a guy that has “it”

But Kling hits .240 & plays elite defense and there are people that will invent reasons on why he sucks & shouldn’t play

Since April 1st SEC Games :

Kling (.242/.375/.394)

8-33
5 2B
7 BB / 12K



You are the only person on earth that cares that Kling started 0-14 in SEC games.

When you tell me an answer on what 3 OF'ers should be playing right now, then ill repsond to one of your posts again.

This is 100% true. Fans love to do that without understanding where those ranking come from and what they are based on. Those high school draft rankings are based on potential and development on where they predict that player to be in 4-5 years. Some people just don't understand that.

I am the only person on earth that cares Kling is hitting .170 seems to be alot of people on this thread and others talking about his lack of hitting some say he should play and hit 9th others say he should be benched but just about everyone agrees his hitting is atrocious.

I am torn about responding to your three outfielder question. On one hand I get alot of humor from you pulling stats out using date ranges and just to fit your specific argument. On other hand it gets old seeing u dickride a .170 hitter in kling and a .132 hitter in Neal. At least Braswell your other idol can hit even though fielding is an adventure for him.
