re: Would you consider Jay Johnson’s first regular season successful?

I think how they finish will be interesting.

Team went from 13-17 in the SEC to 17-13.

That's improvement...especially given the fact that LSU returned very little starting pitching. Really wish Landon M. would have been on this team.

always?


there was almost 100 years between LSU baseball being invented and LSU baseball making it to Omaha.

I think it was a huge success!

He’s recruiting his arse off. He’s coaching hard. He’s pieced together a pitching staff through a gauntlet of SEC play. I think any coach would choose pitching and defense over offense, but LSU is a team that goes as the offense goes. The defense is below average, which IMO has been a bigger issue than the pitching. But, recruiting is very strong, and I think the future is bright.

100% yes.
17-13 in SEC play, will get to 40 wins and both with no pitching and injuries at crucial times? Of course it’s been a success.

Deflecting doesn’t change the fact that we did have a returning starter and a successful one at that. And it wasn’t “by defacto” he earned the spot from not being wanted at all to getting into the rotation on Sunday and working his way to Friday. You should know what a term means before using it.

Not yet. There is no buzz around LSU baseball. People are not flocking to Alex Box. Most of Baton Rouge has no idea they’re playing for Omaha.

Start winning regularly. Get ranked top 5. Make people take notice. Most importantly, go to Omaha. That’s what defines success at LSU.

Johnson can still do it in year 1. If Crews, Berry, Doughty, Morgan, Dugas can be their best, it might just happen.

If Vanderbilt-slayer Jobert shows up, God have mercy on the rest of the field.

You’re right. It’s easy to spot the Mainieri apologists in every thread of this type. It’s bizarre. Mainieri was a really good coach when he gave a damn, but unfortunately you have to go back several years to get to that time period. He needed to retire bc the program was headed in the wrong direction for 2-3 years.

Johnson inherited a few players who can really play. Beyond that it’s an unbelievably mediocre collection. To win 17 sec games with this group is a good season.

For whatever reason, many of the posters on this board seem incapable of being objective. They prefer blind loyalty to a coach over discussing the evidence and outcomes.

regular season successful? by Lester Earl No. But I don’t think it was unsuccessful either

How convenient.

I’m just ready to see what a normal offseason looks like. We’ve got a ton of draft risks signed that could certainly make next year look different one way or another. Then to see how aggressive he pursues transfers with an already full roster.
