Probably not anymore after those two dog shite performances by Volunqueer pitching against a team that barely had a winning overall record.

Not anymore they don’t. LSU actually has a better team ERA in SEC games than they do.

Proven track record as a championship level pitching coach
Casey and Schloss both felt that way. Jay went and got him twice.
Dude can coach pitching. I think our staff has mental/psychological/culture issues, not talent and not anything to do with how Yeskie is calling a game.
LSU usually starts slow and gets better most years. I’d submit it’s mental and kids are not ready to handle a stage this big at first, and then they gain confidence throughout the season when the chips are down.

You always do this thing where you respond to every post except for the ones that prove you wrong.
"Tenn has the best ERA in the country"
- No they don't. They don't even have a better ERA than LSU. They have the 5th best ERA in conference play.
"Chris Stanfield pops the ball up too much"
- No he doesn't. Lowest fly ball rate on the team.
"LSU can only win one way and they don't bunt well"
- LSU currently 3rd in the conference in SH, and will never be higher than 2nd because of UK. Actually have the 2nd most in conference play.
- LSU has more stolen bases than Tenn and Arkansas in conference play.
"LSU pitchers aren't mentally tough blah blah"
- LSU has the 2nd best ERA in conference play.
- LSU has the most strikeouts in conference play.

The ncaa website literally had them #1 at the time I made this post.

He’s done better. He literally has zero reason to elevate the baseball unless there’s a runner on 3rd with less than two outs in a tight game. Even then, it’s clear Jay would rather him bunt because he has no power.

We botch it quite often.

Poor context. It’s effectiveness when stealing. I bet we’ve been thrown out more than those teams too.

I mean isn’t this evident to anyone with eyes?
We have used over a dozen pitchers with premium stuff yet were only confident in 5 this weekend, even at the risk of making your ace vulnerable with 135+ pitches.
When you aren’t confident that 2/3rds of your staff can throw strikes by April, that’s pretty telling. And of those 10ish pitchers who fail to have any consistent control and/or command, they were good enough to be at LSU so obviously almost all showed the ability to do it at some level — yet cannot now.
Why? I’d say the mental/psychological pressure is your answer.
I agree our ERA is good when 5 arms dominate the inning share.

Poor context. It’s effectiveness when stealing. I bet we’ve been thrown out more than those teams too.
Also, your whole argument is we don't steal bases. Jay hasn't run a whole bunch while here. Why is it okay when Arkansas is 5-5 in conference play, Tennessee is 9-13 in conference play, but it's a negative when LSU is 10-14? Keep in mind, 2 of LSU's CS were on double steals getting a run home, 1 true CS, and the other was Curiel going off first move yesterday. In effect, LSU is 10-11 stealing bases and have been picked off once.

You’re saying like it’s particularly easy to never hit the ball in the air lol. Hitting a 95 mph fastball exactly how you’d like it isn’t exactly easy to do. And Stanfield has done it pretty effectively.

Our pitch share is no different than any other teams. We have double digit guys with 10+ innings.

I said stop hitting the ball in the air. Period. Like, never for him. Ever
We are not a great bunting team. Even our fundamentals there are awful. We take strikes, bunt at non strikes, have poor form (we don’t keep the bat level and don’t move the body but rather move the arms and punch at it too much…shite you learn in Little League), miss signs, etc. I guarantee you there is no every day LSU baseball fan that doesn’t get an uneasy feeling when they see our guys squaring for it
Bro Jay tried to gas light this staff preseason and went as far as saying “I know Skip says you only have 8 on a good team but I think we have 10-12”. Half way though the season and he used 5 on the weekend
[
What’s this have to do with throwing the ball over the plate?
You said it yourself, Jay doesn’t steal. Or hit and run, or thing situationally that’s impressive tbh. Theres no reason to not be better at effectively applying pressure to opponent pitchers/defenses when you have guys like Stanfield. You brag about his .320 avg but he has 1 SB when he’s gotten on and we’re around the halfway point. He played less game at Auburn than he’s on track to do this year with LSU and swiped 18 bags there.
It’s not a weapon we use well. I’ve seen just as many negative base running plays than positively impactful ones since Jay’s been in BR.

No I'm referring to swings where he dips and upper cuts. He's has some of those. Not as many lately, so he’s either made the adjustment after seeing tape and/or getting coaching. Good on him
