Is what, exactly, still Paul’s fault? That we lost a baseball game today? That we lost one last night? That we’ve been eliminated from the SEC Tournament? That we’re not undefeated? That we haven’t advanced to the College World Series 2 weeks before it’s even possible? What do you mean by “fault?” Be specific.

Is it possible that losing Berry, Doughty, and Dugas creates holes in the lineup that opposing pitchers can take advantage of really? You lose those hitters and others aren’t protected in the lineup now. I think that’s why the lineup is what it is, which has caused a lot of complaints.
Errors lose games at times yes. But losing protection in the lineup sucks worse. I’d pitch to contact all day with Cranford for example but pitch around Crews. When that happens the Crews’ if the world press to try to make something happens.
Pitching isn’t elite but it isn’t “bad”. I think if we can get the lineup healthy you’ll see a better showing.
It’ll come down to defense and scoring more than 2 runs a game for sure. Our pitching isn’t horrible. Just needs a protected lineup that offers run support against good opposing arms.
Just gotta get healthy and make some adjustments.

I hate when people do this shite.
Imagine this team without Crews, Doughty, Morgan, and Hilliard. You’re just naming key players and saying imagine this team without them. No shite they’d be worse.

Lineup, no.
The only players that could've started that were on the bench were Merrifield (hasn't been great but still came in late), Stevenson (hasn't been great but still came in late), and Travinski (has been really bad but still came in late).
And whoever listed Gio along with Crews, Morgan, Doughty, and Dugas.....lol Gio has been bad outside of one season for LSU. That was the covid year...he played 13 games and hit 0.351.

My point was that this team would be dog shite with Mainieri players only.

Thats not what I'm talking about. We make basic fundamental errors. These guys have all been playing infield for 10+ years of their life and were all the best the whole time and the fundamentals of playing SS or 2nd never really change.
Errors happen but being worst in the league fielding can't be twisted into the last guys fault.

Who was a good fielder under PM?
Mikazzo
Morgan
Crews
Doughty was ok at third, but at second he wasn’t under PM.
PM didn’t coach them to make errors, but he didn’t leave many good defensive players who could hit.
Remember in Mainieri’s last year he started six second baseman. He couldn’t find a third baseman at first. Thompson was the SS but he wasn’t good. He’s worse now, but he never was good under PM.
Now JJ should get done if the blame, he’d the coach; but it’s not like he took a bunch of golden glove guys and made them worse.

All you assholes want to do is run somebody down. Get over it. Move on from where we are. Every thread turns into bashing an ex or current coach or player. Some pathetic human beings in here.

That’s why PM had him at 3rd and not 2nd

Teams do this all the time at the beginning of the year. Johnson did it at multiple positions this year.

Nobody is saying this. But guys have gotten worse defensively this year and you can’t blame that on PM.

Our fielding even with most of the same players was never this bad under CPM.
He once pulled Beau Jordan from LF in the middle of a game for not giving 100%.
Has anyone lost their job because of bad fielding this year?
Not blaming CJJ. He made a command decision to roll with bats. TBH, it looked like we arrived vs Vandy. Need to get healthy now and see how far we can go.
I'm excited about our chances host or not.

Take a good look at the Pitchers and you tell me. He quit recruiting after Alex Lange

Baseball players seldom play on an even keel. Guys have up and down years.
Thompson us down from his first season, but he was never good to begin with. Who else got worse from last year on defense?
Morgan? No, all D team.
Doughty played a new position and improved there accorfing to his freshmen stats. But second is not a good spot for him.
Thompson got worse,
Berry was a DH.
Crews all D team.
Dugas? He didn’t play enough to say really.
Mikazzo, he didn’t play enough either.
The fact is we didn’t have a lot of defensive talent to begin with. The coach emphasized hitting and the poor D showed. Tthe injury to Milazzo which was big too.

Depth is part of the lineup, and that is clearly lacking.
I don’t think any team in country can lose guys like Berry and Doughty and not see a dramatic drop off.
It’s also silly to think that two 1am games won’t have an effect an even the best teams.
Blaming Jay is as silly as blaming Paul. At some point it just is what it is.

Thompson and Doughty are the 2 worst defensive players in the SEC. That’s not good. I don’t get what point you’re trying to make. All I said was that you can’t blame the fact that this team got worse defensively on PM. You went on to name multiple players that have gotten worse defensively then name a couple of starters that are good defensively and have been hurt.

You can’t possibly say this as you’re watching Dylan Crews, Tre Morgan, and Cade Doughty every night, and have also watched Jaden Hill, Cole Henry, Landon Marceaux, etc the past few years.

I dont think there's really anything to blame on anybody right now. First year coach, didn't inherit much of a pitching staff, and IMO got better all year.
The fielding percentage sucks and that IMO is something to complain about and that falls on JJ. The guys out there all have the ability. Our positioning has been poor lately and we've made a lot of just plain stupid errors that costed us runs.
Give us a big arm Friday starter ala Alex Lange or healthy Jaden hill and we go deep IMO. The pitching staff we have has been very effectively used IMO.

Finally a logical post. The only two real complaints I have with Jay is the defense and the fact that we have had multiple extremely important games that the team has looked flat and gotten embarrassed. Those 2 things are really important if you’re trying to make a run in Omaha. Besides those 2 things I think Johnson has done a really good job this year.
