honestly they are both on the same level right now.... both very low averages and neither have held down a spot in the lineup. My rationale is that Pennington has more power potential and a lot of RBI's. Before today, Pennington actually had a better average (.219 to Cam's .200 average) than Blake in SEC games, with more at bats.histag10 said:EKG1996 said:tjholley17 said:

this would be a lineup I would try.
we tried Gutierrez at 2nd/Shew at shortstop in one of the early midweek games and it worked pretty well. I think Gutierrez has more offensive potential than Homan at this point.
This was along the lines of what I think we might see.
How do you justify Pennington over Blake right now?
Yep. 7 runs should have been enough to win this one ...Lefty96 said:
Not a terrible day at the plate today. We really roughed up one of the best pitchers in the conference. And 7 runs should be enough to beat anyone with our arms.
But pitching was just awful today. No way to sugar coat it. And pretty bad day in the field with 3 errors.

you can't really make that argument when Foster is still in the lineup. In 41 starts, he has 54 strikeouts. You could easily put Pennington in Foster's DH role.histag10 said:tjholley17 said:which is how I would describe the majority of our lineup the last few weeks unfortunatelyjkag89 said:Need to check the Box Scores immediately following the LSU series thru the time his playing time was curtailed, lots of starts with very pedestrian numbers.tjholley17 said:check the box score again... he got a single in his only AB against arkansasClassOf17 said:jkag89 said:He has not seen much action the past two or three weeks but Penny had ample opportunity following the LSU series to produce on a more consistent basis.

I'd like to see Walker Pennington get an at bat next inning.... it seems like the coaching staff has forgotten he exists since that LSU winning homer.
Yeah I remember he had a huge opportunity against arky last weekend and took a backwards K
The difference is that most of our lineup the past few weeks, and Pennington most of the season.
You also have to take into account that most of our lineup has been making contact, and it's all flyouts. If I remember right, Pennington took a lot of Ks

Very true.... I guess I would take foster out then. Which is why I put Foster and blake together. If we face a lefty, then Foster goes, if we face a righty then I'd play Blake in that spot.histag10 said:tjholley17 said:honestly they are both on the same level right now.... both very low averages and neither have held down a spot in the lineup.

Except that Blake has performed exceptionally well at the plate over the past week, which is more than can be said for a lot of our lineup. It's a matter of who is hot now.

Baseball is not like football. If they sneak In, anything can happen.
