Difference is I guarantee you those pitchers were above average hitters is HS. Chris Jones was not an above average QB in HS.

I bet Chris would've been good running the ball at Houston high haha

So if we lost Lovelady last night from an at bat injury, an injured Stovall becomes our backup catcher. Contradictory logic?

Sorry, but lovelady and pilk aren't even comparable in importance to this team.

[I seen it dawg]

Well...if lovelady gets hurt....and Stovall has to catch...and he re injures his hammy...then Skelton breaks a finger on a foul tip...then who is gonna catch Pilk

Plus Cann just said at his presser that Stovall is in "excrutiating pain" every time he swings the bat bc of his hand.

Lovelady's defense is extremely important to this team. Wonder what the statistics are on pitchers breaking their hand during an AB are. Is it possible that it's so tiny that it was worth the risk?

[msstate7]

Why do you keep posting dumb statements? Chris Jones never played QB ever probably, those two pitchers who batted have batted many times before.

The real point is that we pay Cann to win games, not to make sure every player is having fun. CAnn has earned his money too... just didn't like price and pilk hitting with hitters on bench. It's over and no injuries, so let's just sweep bama now

By his demeanor I doubt Cann was having fun.

I've seen it happen in the NL before several times a year.

College baseball has a DH though

It also has dual position players. You know- like Mangum, Gordon, and the other hundreds that do it across the country.

Is pilk a dual position guy?

He is now.

He is now.

Haha what position? Dh?

[Todd4State]

Wherever Cann wants him. He hit .351 in high school his senior year. It's not like last night was the first time he ever swung a bat.

Seriously not trying to be a jerk, but hitting .350 in high school is a little different than hitting collegiality.

Not to be a jerk but the point is he has swung a bat before. And that was just one of the many years it he did throughout his life.

I dont think Pilk's plate approach included taking one for the team to get a runner aboard. C'mon man.

[msstate7]

And if an AL team ran out of players they would hit the pitchers and everything would be fine.

Farm system takes away the risk we had. We can't call up a replacement. As much as I didn't like taking how ever small a risk it was batting our 2 best pitchers, I didn't like giving up even more... as long as we had an out to play with, I want us to put our best hitters up and we had 2 hitters on the bench

Ditto!!play to win.

You don't win with the shitty effort our starters gave. THAT was the point. Cann actually did what you wanted him to do but you're too ignorant to see it.

Ok so now I am ignorant. If that makes us win then by all means let the pitchers hit then. Something tells me there is a reason their mostly pitching and not hitting on a regular basis. And based on our record and tied for 2nd in the SEC I would say we have been winning. I understand your point but we will have to agree to disagree. Team has no wiggle room for another unnecessary injury if they can avoid it, especially to our Friday night guy. Unless he gets hit by a meteor of course ha ha! Then we all have bigger fish to fry.
