The other day, the Yankees were beating some team and the 8th inning pitcher mows down the other team. And they bring in their closer who had a 0.00 ERA...notice the "had"...he got shelled for 3 runs and they lost.
The Yankees closer has only improved his stats over the season. His first few games were his worst and he certainly didn’t have a 0.00 ERA just the other day.

This was not the same team as least season despite what people may have thought. We lost the 2 top players (Skenes and Crews) in college baseball to the draft that probably could have added an additional 7-8 wins at least. Then add in Morgan, Beloso and Jobert. I think we were one of the few P5 teams with 3 starting true FR.
This team still turned the season around, made the SECCG, was 3 outs from a Super and finished with 42 wins.
Jump performs like he has been and we move on, a bad play on a fly ball and we might move on. And if we did go to the Supers we are likely back in the CWS.

You're a top 5 worst poster on this website. Something to truly be proud of!

I agree with that. Starters also aren't acccustomed to suddenly being relief pitchers....period.
Yet every year, starters from game 1 come in relief during game 7’s of regionals across the country.
Weird.

Go count how many freshman we had playing this year. All of them will be back with good experience. If you expected back to back natties, you need to do some research on sports. We lost 4-5 great bats this year and now have the freshman to fill those shoes next year.

I dont agree
It’s a lot of hindsight but we’re acting like no coach has ever pulled a set up man for a closer.
It’s not like Jump went out there throwing 91 because his arm was dead.

If Ack goes out in the 9th and gives up a couple hits with Jump standing in the bullpen some of you guys would have been on JJ's shite anyway.
Ackenhausen wouldn't have given up a couple of hits if Johnson had made the right decision. One walk...or one hit...and Ackenhausen is gone. Obviously Ackenhausen could have given up a home run in that hit but otherwise, Jump enters the game with LSU still ahead. I have seen nobody say to leave Ackenhausen in long enough to have 2 baserunners.

Since you also talked about the Yankees, do you believe Hall of Famer Joe Torre would have held Mariano Rivera in the pen just to give the guy who pitched the 8th a chance to start the 9th? That's crazy talk. And as someone pointed out, Ack wasn't really mowing them down. Yes, he struck out the side but he went to full counts on two of the hitters. And one of those strikeouts was from him getting lucky that bunt went two inches further left otherwise it would have hit the third base bag and been a fair ball instead of a strikeout.

If we held Jay Johnson to the same standard as Matt McMahon we'd be talking about this really being year 2 instead of year 3 and everyone in the thread of grading the season would be giving A+'s to losing a regional final on the road

If you’re bringing in Jump you’re doing in to start the 9th, not with a runner already on.

You sure are a dumbass aren't you?

I think the point he's making is that if he were in the dugout, LSU would have won and gone onto win back-to-back titles.
He really sounds like he knows his stuff.

Nope the correct move would be to bring Jump in as needed since Ackenhausen was on a roll. BTW, NOT an Ackenhausen fan normally. A 6.0 ERA is not All American and this is what his season ERA was. But once again, pitchers have good and bad games. Ackenhausen is probably the most streaky pitcher on the staff. When he is good, he is really good. But obviously with a 6.0 ERA he has had more bad games than good ones.

The “Ack was mowing them down” argument is the most amusing one to me.
He looked like typical, inconsistent 5.65 ERA Ack. Struggling to put batters away and missing wildly.

He went with the better pitcher.

Actually I'm more proud that a totally clueless poster like you probably believes that. If I'm known by my enemies here, than I must be doing something right.

Don't you just hate it when the pitcher faces 3 batters and strikes them all out.
