re: Official Fire Mike Bianco Thread

What’s Baker’s on base % this postseason ? It’s gotta be around .375-.400. On top of that he’s the best defensive option at 1B. Defense and base running mistakes always seems to play a role in elimination games so I like going with defense but that’s my opinion. Does he strike out a lot ? Sure. That’s why you bat him 8th.

Take TJ out of the lineup. He got on base , stole second and scored a run last night. Who do you put in there for your All SEC freshman who led the team in RBIs and had a multihit night the first game of the series ? Think his replacement would be a little tight getting a spot start in the biggest game of the year ? Think he’d struggle reading fly balls in CF in a park where he’s never played CF ?

I guess there’s arguments to be made for who start in RF but we’ve gotten great production out of our right fielders hitting in the 9 hole. That’s a good problem.

We’re all on edge because we all want Omaha. I guarantee you none of us want it more than Bianco and those other coaches and kids in the dugout want it.
