Leggett's bat won't get it done IMO. Is his defense going to offset that? That's the decision. Cam can DH. But Clark might be the best option with Cam staying at 3B.

Oh there are not any good solutions or it would have already been done obviously. I think I would have left the lineup as it was for Sunday to see if runs are really as good as the previous 4 SEC games averaged. 7.75 per game with 9 both USCe games on Friday and Sat. They are a solid pitching team. Leggett wasn’t the offensive catalyst, by no means do I mean that and we knew he would hit the wall, K a lot. Sometimes though a certain lineup just gels better and scores more. It’s close, the defensive numbers are a good bit better with Leggett at 3rd but it definitely puts 3 guys who can K a lot at your 7, 8, 9 and all three RH bats. Love Clark’s swing and potential, he really needs AB’s though if we go that route.
Actually Sunday Cumbest got us... bases loaded 1 out and he fouls out to first.
Skinner against RH
Cumbest against LH
I would love to see Mules numbers against quality pitching.. if there is a right handed with above average stuff on the bump, Mule is about as much of a threat as a MLB pitcher at the plate.. basically none
And Skinner little to no chance against a lefty.
So mix and match those guys accordingly
Not doubting you at all but when I was a teenager back in the late 70's, I motocross raced a YZ 80 Yamaha, wasn't that good but I DID do it; one of a few of my favorites, I think it was Marty Smith who rode the CR125 Honda Elsinore said the same thing about practice. Hurricane Bob Hannah rode the yamahs back then, he may have been the one. At ant rate, constant practice indeed creates more luck, no doubt about it.
somebody splain Cumbest's batting average vs at bats. I'll hang up and listen
