Insisting not putting morgan at first, pinch hitting jones for pearson, then putting in little. I like JJ don’t get me wrong but the decisions he made today I just don’t understand.

Is what it is though. One positive from this weekend was bull pen did look better. Looking forward to next week as we traditionally tend to play well in Hoover. Geaux Tigers!

I don't understand not pitching Herring earlier when the game was closer.

Christian Little doesn’t need to be on the postseason roster. He brings absolutely nothing positive to this team

I mean how about the players not go 0-10 with RISP. That may have played a lot into a loss too.

I think the sunshine pumpers actually lost us this game. Could you imagine how much better we would play if our whole fanbase jumped in on the negativity? Exponentially better

I particularly liked intentionally walking the bases loaded and letting Little 4 pitch walk the next batter to score a run. Was a bold strategy that I’m not sure is on Jay’s Coaching Baseball 101 crib sheet.

I did not understand pinch-hitting Jones for Pearson at all.

Wasn't he benched because he couldn't deliver in situations exactly like the one he was sent out there to face???

None of those moves are even controversial, much less to the extreme where it cost them the game

Really? Crazy seeing Jay commit all those errors in the field costing us the game, we should bench him already.

The moves were designed with the postseason in mind. If Beloso can handle first, it allows for stronger OF defense. LSU is a much better offense with Jones hitting well, so trying to get him going is a reasonable gamble. LSU needs as many options as possible in the bullpen for postseason. I think Little had already proven a failure but Johnson clearly sees trying to get him right as worth the effort. He got too cute with the 9 run lead last week, but I don’t think we can judge his decisions solely in the context of one game. If he keeps doing it in the postseason, that’s a different story.

Dumb arse take. The players lost this game. 0 for 10 with RISP is what lost it.

These threads are tiresome. Baseball coaches don’t have nearly as much control over the outcome of a game as football coaches, and maybe even hoops.

This team is very talented, and clearly one of the best in the country. This time of year, it comes down to getting hot. Players go through ups and downs, and a lot of it isn’t dependent on a coach. The greatest coaches and managers usually get canned at some point, and it’s not really because of how they set lineups and the like.

I was at the game tonight and we lost the game at first base defense. Crews was way off his game at plate bc change ups. But the umpire tonight had a very, very small strike zone for both teams, and Georgia just happen to get the hit when they needed it because it’s a tight strike zone and the many walks. The LSU boys smack the ball really well but unfortunately right to people and also the defensive switch UGA played worked well for them as well as the bunt they showed 3 times and executed one with perfection, the other two bunt plays they ended up swinging because of two strikes. Everyone calm down we won the series. Let’s get our arms rested. The season starts now.

Nah, the fielding mishaps in the second inning bolloxed the game for Coleman and the Tigers. There's no doubt that Javen could have continued pitching for at least three or four more innings if not for the untimely errors. The game was lost in the field, and via the shift game, which Georgia played well and LSU didn't

I have come to realize why Little left Vandy.

Knew it was too good to be true.

If Jay Johnson would just browse this board daily, and take the advice offered by the experts here the turnaround in performance would occur within days.
