Fair. I did take you somewhat out of context in regards to the OP, who I don’t agree with. I just don’t like when people try to spin a negative into a positive, I which I understand you weren’t trying to do.

This is a young team and a team that lost a lot of leadership and also a team that is searching for an identity! I don’t think he was out coached !

He didn’t get out coached. It appears that he got caught with an offense that just isn’t good. The offenses this year around the league seem to be out of this world. How many double digit home run guys did Florida have and how many of their starters were hitting over .300? That’s all over the league.
It appears Jay thought he was going to have elite pitching that could get him through until the offense got going. The problem is our pitching has been really good at times, but elite is another level and we aren’t there. And unfortunately the pitching hasn’t been better than the hitting we have faced in the SEC. It’s good enough to keep us in games and then the damn breaks.
Any real fan knows we just need to get hot at the right time and talent wise on paper this team can compete with anybody. We just need to focus on growing as a team and getting in the dance and see how things shake out.
With all that said, I don’t think Jay is going to get caught again and will go scorched earth in the transfer portal looking for guys that can hit .350 with 15+ HRs.

Because that doesn't fit their narrative that Jay is a bad coach. It is beyond maddening how some of our fans just go this route of shitting on our coach at any chance they get.

Not sure why you have so many downvotes, I think most would agree he was out coached.

Left ackenhousen in too long.
Other than that JJ cannot hit the ball for the players.

This is the definition of “what if” lol

That seems fair in this last series. This happens to the best coaches from time to time. It’s not a trend.

He continues to make errors in pitching.
That is odd wording, but I know what you mean. This one is a bit hard to really argue because it’s really a what if. Ack seemed to be stretched a bit too long, but you don’t really know that whoever comes in shuts them down.

Nobody can argue he doesn’t. Sometimes the gut is wrong.

Who has said that he's a bad coach this season? He was out coached this weekend. Its possible he could out coach DVH this weekend. Its the nature of the game of baseball.

Yeah, if one of your better pitchers is left in and works through tough innings then the coach was smart. If they don’t work through it then the coach left them in too long. Hindsight is wonderful.

Well, there is a ton of research on this specific topic and the line demarcation is hitters seeing a pitcher the third time.
The specific factors going into it (fatigue, familiarity) may be weighted differently, but the effect is undeniable. It can be lessened with each specific pitch thrown more than 10% of the time, so starters with a bigger arsenal are less susceptible (but not immune).
A reliever that mostly relies on two pitches that was getting to the end of his pitch count and inning max probably shouldn't face a potential 1/1 draft pick a third time. And this is something that can be pointed out in real time. No hindsight needed.

Sounds like LSU just needs better hitters/players

What did the opposing coach do to out coach Johnson?

It seems like only a year ago we saw threads like this every time we lost a game.
If only I could remember how last year ended

I'm not saying I agree with the OP. But I'm not going to be happy that we almost won the series. Whenever something like that happens in our favor you probably don't come here and say "why are people acting like we weren't one frick up away from losing the series"
But you ARE agreeing with OP
