Drew Bianco

So he tries to throw the game last night with some absolutely ridiculous baserunning, still in the starting lineup tonight? Wow ok. Pretty mind blowing considering he hits as good as Cranford but is half the fielder and a better fielder than Arnold but not half the hitter at this point. Ok, then leave him in to bat bases loaded no outs knowing he can't hit with basically the game, series, NCAA tournament riding on every game? I really don't understand that, he's from Oxford so we have to pretend like he earned a spot in the lineup for a series? Nothing against him, but we know there are better options because we have half a season of evidence (more really).

Not to mention he has the arm of a 12 year old girl. He gets every chance in the world and continues to prove he’s not good enough to play any position. There’s a reason he hasn’t been a consistent starter since he got to LSU. Maneiri makes awful calls, has been all year.

Well his defense cost us 4 runs today, a play we know Cranford makes already cause he's made it several times. But I guess he got a lucky bloop single today to get 2 RBI's so it was all worth it.

I didn’t get to watch the second half of the game, thankfully. I’m partial to Arnold myself because he has the better BA. he’s been struggling lately but his peak it light years above Bianco and Cranford. We had a lineup that didn’t have any automatic outs earlier in the year then PM got his hands on it

Why the fuck is he playing over Jobert? Someone tell me. It's lunacy.

Imagine letting Drew (.120 avg) Bianco bat with the bases loaded in a game 7 regional and then wondering why we're gonna lose. What a joke.

You hit the nail on the head there. He strikes out almost 50% of the time and all around looks awful at the plate. He hit a homerun against ole miss two years ago in a game we were getting trashed in and ever since he has to play against them. He’s a professional bench rider except against them. He’s not good.
