Good luck to wherever you may land a job! You have been a great person and role model, both on and off the field for the players. Wish you were remaining on the staff in some capacity.

Looking at your posts, you seem partial to Grewe.

Hmmmm

Fancy seeing you here.

Got an opinion on telling us how stupid we were considering LSU was leading the conference in batting average...heading into the Florida series?

You realize that also means that we were leading the conference in batting average going into conference play, right? Doesn't seem to mean jack shite at that point.

Additionally, what does batting average have to do with Grewe?

One significant contribution from Grewe - discovering Chad Jones's pitching ability. If not for Jones, LSU may not have won the title in 2009. Jones was riding the bench waiting for some playing time in the outfield following spring football. Grewe approached Maineri with the suggestion to pitch Jones.

Also, Grewe may be the reason Louis Coleman is who he is today.

They dropped down his arm slot to almost a sidearm motion after struggling his first two years, and he killed it all of his junior and senior years.

Just wanted to add that I thought since last year that Grewe needed to be booted... Just trying to find a significant contribution of his to leave on.

One of the few things I recall with bemusement regarding this sub-par season of LSU Baseball was you defending Sanchez by talking about how stupid people were here for complaining about this team's results at the plate. You were posting about finding it humorous folks were complaining as we were leading the conference-at that point.

Just funny how its amusing to me now, I guess.

But, let me ask you a few things:

1.) Do you think Sanchez should retain his job?
2.) Did you read the And The Valley Shook blog about the post-season retrospective?
3.) Did you agree with him that he feels neither should go, and that if anyone had to go, it was Grewe?
4.) Have you heard Sanchez has family ties to Paul M? Specifically that he is Sanchez's godfather (parrain for you coonasses out there).
5.) Do you know of any base-running schools to teach over-their-head coaches who seemingly have tenure?
6.) How boring is this June gonna be without LSU beisbol?

LSU's base running has been bad since Bertman left. Whatever PM needs to do to correct it, get it done. Bad thing is, PM was coaching third at some points this year. Not making NCAA tourney don't work.

I don't know if you're specifically speaking of me, because I for one want Javi gone as well. I never defended him as a hitting coach this season. If I posted about what you speak of, then that's my fault cause I don't recall that in the least.

To answer one of your questions, I haven't heard of the family ties that Javi has to CPM, but I do know they have a long history together - basically having the closest relationship other than blood. That's what worries me about CPM's ability to fire Javi. What I believe (not hope) will happen, is that CPM demotes Javi to a lesser title but still hires another coach outside the school to assist with those hitting education duties.

And yes, this June will fricking suck. I had to miss my first trip to Hoover going the last three years (my Hoover roadcrew has never seen us lose in that park). But our consolation was to wait to see if we were going to Fort Worth, Austin, College Station or Atlanta. Now we're all stuck in awesome Baton Rouge having to talk about Jordan Jefferson for the next 90-some odd days...

There is so much fail in this thread, but I'll start here

How many meaningful innings did he pitch? When he did pitch we had game 3 in hand.

Terry Rooney helped him develop that before he left in 08. Coleman was a key cog for our staff in 2008

My slight of thought gave him the benefit of the doubt. My mistake.

And I knew he was a key cog in our staff in 08... His record and ERA were sick before he gave up that season ending granny in Omaha. That was his Junior year in 2008.

It's been said a lot on here in different threads that LSU is not a place for a coach to "learn" his skills. With respect to baseball, I tend to agree with this. But, much like you bring in freshman every year in every sport who can spend some time and learn their respective positions so that as juniors and seniors they can be productive, I think you can do the same thing with young coaches.

I have no problem with CPM keeping Javi, as I don't believe his career should be scuttled. But, CPM should hire a seasoned hitting coach...someone who knows what he's doing and someone from whom Javi can learn. Javi is a young man with a long career in front of him. He obviously has some abilities so they should be allowed to grow through learning.

I don't blame Javi, but rather CPM for placing him in a position of extreme importance on the staff before he was ready.

Just my 2 cents.

What abilities are those? What has he shown you, other than an ability to go out and chase tail with the team, as well as...as well as...WHAT?

What's he done? Seriously? What has he done? Show me something. Is he a good base running coach? Of course not. We've seen that sh!t for several years now.

Is he a good hitting instructor? Since we lost that loaded NC roster from three years ago, we have proceeded to significantly regress.

What has this guy "obviously" shown you?

I mean, trying to say this guy is a great coach, you'd have to show us just how much sh!ttier this team would be without him.

I see zero positive impact, other than being a "players coach". That's because most of the Freshman & Sophomores on the National Championship Team (guys like Nola, Mahtook, & Hanover) saw him going out with the players & chasing women in Tigerland.

What young coach doesn't have the ability to do that? Why is that indicative of his ability as a coach?

I want someone to show me some substantive proof that this guy has great potential, other than knowing Paul Maineiri's family. Show me what kind of coaching ability he has.

He's garbage. There's no getting around it.
