Nate Yeskie will be an upgrade over Wes Johnson

If you ask me, Johnson rode the coattails of Skenes and really didn’t impact our rotation in a positive way as much as he should have. Our staff last year still had a major problem with walks. I am ecstatic for a Hurd, Holman, Jump rotation. IMO we will be better off this year with 3 solid starters unlike last year with one ace, one reliable arm (Floyd), and a question mark on Sundays.

lol, Floyd was more than "reliable." He was undefeated and a first round draft pick

I saw huge improvement from a lot of our pitchers. Ty Floyd, Herring, and Ack, along with Thatcher Hurd finally rounding into form. Also, our coaches took a second team all-SEC pitcher and turned him into the number 1 draft choice.

I mean, relief pitching was shaky for most of the regular season, but they found their groove in the postseason.
We needed a alot of guys to step up in Omaha and they damn near all did.
Don't forget Skenes didn't pitch against Florida.

Man I don’t know about that. Johnson had the best pitching staff in the major leagues to the All-Star break before he left Minnesota. And everyone in that clubhouse bragged about how great of a coach he was. The problem with the pitching staff, in particular relief pitching, was the same problem they had the season before. If you follow Riley Cooper, he got better as a year went on. he did the same exact thing the year before.

I mean the majority of our pitchers improved throughout the year and were the best versions of themselves at the end in the postseason. That’s exactly what you want.

We won the NC and saying our pitching coach was shite. What the freak you smoking?

Nate is a great coach. Wes is on another level. We are lucky to have Nate and hopefully he stays in that position for the long term . It was a miracle that Wes was here last year. He will be at Arkansas when Van Horn retires.

Some of yall don’t understand how tough it is to overcome injuries. We had lots of them in our pitching staff last season.

They are both great coaches. Yeskie will be a head coach next year. Jay Johnson is why LSU will be a contender every season he is here. We will always have great pitching coaches and it will be high turnover because they will win and move on. But the talent will remain constant.

Here goes this retard again. If you really need so much attention then go run down the street naked and stop posting stupid shite on TR.

This is such a bad take.

Just when I think I've read dumbest post ever, someone one-ups it. The Rant never disappoints!
Posted on 2/8/24 at 7:47 am to trussthetruzz
Well this is certainly a take one is allowed to have

I’m sure yeskie will be great but what that staff became past year was incredible. Wes had a lot to do with that. He’s one of the best in baseball

At years end Johnson had the staff maximized. He did a great job. Arms were live. Every member including Skenes improved.

Not going there. Wes Johnson is top shelf as a pitching coach. I hope he’s not as good as a HC.

Whether or not Yeskie is an upgrade over Wes is independent of the fact that we have a deeper starting rotation this year than we did last year.
Year 3 of the Jay Johnson era and recruiting (both high school and portal) is now showing results.
