He is the most missed from last years team.

I think Yeskie is fine, but unfortunately these guys have had a new pitching coach every year.

Majority of this board wanted him fired last season.

Do you realize our pitching outside of Skenes was up and down the entire regular season last year?

Was told something this week you guys may find interesting…According to DVH, they were able to pattern each starting pitcher for LSU last weekend. They’d verify the pattern of pitch calls over the first 2-3 innings to make sure they were correct, then let the batters know what to expect.

Not sure who calls you guys’ pitches, but on certain batters of ours they throw the same pitch call pattern each at bat.

Bro we had the same shitastic pitching staff last year for 80% of the year outside of Skenes.

Yeskies problem is he can’t call a game. Dude rolls guys out there and throws nine off speed pitches in a row and expects the other team not to hit.

Also, until we stop running guys out there that aren’t SEC pitchers then we’re going to continue to struggle. Little should never see the field again unless we are up 17 runs.

Yet before the run in Omaha, many were doubting Wes. It’s the sport that requires the most patience and least overreaction.

A year ago from now, our pitching was really bad outside of almost everyone not named Paul Skenes. The difference is that last year we had the hitting to cover the bad pitching with a ton of runs. On May 14th of last year we blew a 9 run lead and gave up 14 earned runs to a shitty Miss State team. Our pitching improved once Wes Johnson accepted the UGA job and Jay Johnson got more involved with the pitching.

I keep telling myself that outside of skenes, all the other pitchers started slow last year as well and were at peak performance come post season. Maybe, just maybe, Jay can do that again.
