Jay postgame video

Good post and agree with most everything you said

not to mention,Jay's obsessed with baseball and that's even in comparison to other baseball coaches.

I also like how he said that one of the reasons he pitched eyanson friday instead of Saturday was because he's such a good athlete that he could come back to pitch in the situation that we got in tonight. eyanson is just a physical freak athlete and Kade may not have been as ready on short rest

It's easy for everyone to Monday morning quarterback but there isn't a living soul out there that when they went up 5-1 wasn't panicking. If you say you weren't you're full of shite and a liar. Evans saved the Tigers most of credit should go to him for last night, without his effort everyone would be singing a different tune this morning. So gtfoh with all the self righteous oh I knew or I trust Jay blah blah blah shite......thank God we won and saved massive embarrassment.

Self-righteous is definitely the term for some of the comments in this thread. I try real hard not to say too much, when I want to go off sometimes, but after Sunday night, I calmly suggested what I thought needed to be done differently, including the lineup, and I wasn't the only one. And it's almost like Jay read the board. Did he actually? Of course not, and it would be silly for any of us to take credit for anything, but the point is that not everyone who had a dissenting opinion is some idiot who just reacts emotionally.

But, that's what some people like to pretend is going on, while also pretending that they, themselves, were just super calm these last two days. It's disingenuous and nauseating. If we had lost, my guess is that they wouldn't be in here defending anyone.

There’s a big difference in suggesting a lineup change pre game and some of the melting that goes on here during the game.

There’s multiple posters who had a full blown panic attack calling for Jay to be fired in the 2nd inning.

This place has become completely toxic during games. I honestly try to avoid here during them.

Sure, but I'm not talking about the melters, and I don't think the people I'm referring to are solely talking about the melters. I think some people believe if you question anything, then you must be an idiot and an emotional toddler. And I don't believe that these people don't get worked up over decisions, themselves. I think they just don't want to admit it.

You’re right. Some of us avoid the board during games and after losses bc what’s really nauseating is the overreactions of so many that often include personal attacks on people. The most sickening part is the board is also littered with trolls like lsuag or whatever his username is mocking “POWERHOUSE” and making one inflammatory comment after another about the entire program as if LSU should win every game.

The uninformed, but passionate fans are one thing because it is a message board after all. The trolls, whom most of these posts you’re referring to are probably really directed at are another. I’m not sure why they are allowed to pollute the board.

If this place had any sort of real enforcement of the board rules, it could be a great place for true discussion. Instead, those threads are few and far between during games or after losses.

Of course people can be upset and negative but some of it goes way too far and is simply without basis. It’s hard to sort through the trash on those occasions and many of us simply choose not to do it.

The fact is Jay is the head coach. You don’t have to agree with all that he does. I don’t either. But what we all need to understand is that he does know more about his team and the other team than we do. There’s a reason he’s the head coach and widely considered as being among the nation’s elite head coaches and there is a reason none of us are in his position at LSU or any other baseball program.

Saying so doesn’t make anyone self-righteous. It makes that person self-aware and emotionally intelligent.

Big difference.

The problem with these responses I'm getting, as that you're all saying one thing, while the people I'm talking about are saying another. They're not saying anything about "trolls". We can all agree that trolls are annoying. And yes, this board is thoroughly toxic, and it really doesn't matter if LSU is winning or losing, you will always find people who are just nasty to others for no reason.

You're right that it doesn't make a person self-righteous to say they don't know as much as the coach does about his team. But I didn't say that, and that wasn't what I addressed. What we have, is a thread with some people telling us that we don't know anything, and making it sound as though they never question anything, and trust the coaches completely. But you know that every single person alive questions not just coaches, but people of all professions, of which they (those that question) have no experience in. And that is because, while we may not know everything, some of us know enough to question the logic of others.

And that is where the self-righteous part comes in. Pretending to be above it all. They may not be melting hard like you see with some people, and that's great. We should all be civil with one another, and about the subjects we discuss. But the finger wagging at all dissenting opinion is just hypocritical.

He threw four pitches in 20 seconds. That’s some quick work.
