The biggest thing Jay missed on was starting pitching

Yeah the big bats he brought in Yorke, Dardar, and Simpson haven't worked out but the lineup still has talent without those guys and can be serviceable.
But him thinking Evans and Schmidt were going to replace Anderson and Eyanson was the biggest mistake. Yeah yeah I get it was going to be unlikely to replicate their success but I never thought Evans was going to pan out as a Friday night starter. He may have the stuff for it but not the stamina. You need your Friday night guy to give you 6-7 innings and 4 or less runs consistently because thats what other teams Friday night guys will do. I did think Schmidt would take a step forward and be a serviceable Sunday starter which is what he is at this point but nothing more. Obviously Moore getting hurt has been an issue but his SEC sample size is small so we really dont know exactly what he can be in SEC play.
Last season LSU was 30-8 in games Anderson and Eyanson pitched. This season barring a comeback today LSU will be 10-10 in the first 2 games of each series.

The team that is beating our arse this weekend has a Friday night guy with a worse ERA than both Evans and Schmidt.

And has walked half as many people. Which is a big reason Evans doesnt go as deep into games as he needs to. Its more than just ERA especially when LSU has so few reliable bullpen arms they can go to.

But him thinking Evans and Schmidt were going to replace Anderson and Eyanson was the biggest mistake
Unfortunately our ability to secure transfers who could be Anderson and Eyanson this season was directly impacted by the postseason run said players took us on
