re: Is there evidence of batters improving significantly under Jay Johnson?

Then why didn’t Jay do a better job in the portal?
Maybe it isn’t as simple as pressing All-SEC Pitcher in the Portal Vending Machine like you act when he goes and gets Skenes and Tommy White.
Also, make up your mind of getting good players from the portal means he’s a good coach or that he’s “buying a team with Lipsey’s money”

So close. Like a photo finish which Jay’s been in a lot of those

Oh I didn’t realize Beloso, Jaubert and them weren’t players Pawl n Cain recruited. Must’ve been holdovers from the Smoke days
quote:Jobert* actually improved before he even got on campus because of Jay making changes in his swing.
Jaubert
quote:
"He's a quick learner: He called me and we were discussing some things about summer baseball that were happening with him and his at-bats, and then he immediately put some (new) things into play," Johnson said. "It really took off in a real positive way, and he's carried that into fall practice."
Some of those things: putting his foot down quicker to get into a better launch position.

No, you did that
No I literally didn’t lolll

Jared Poche was in the rotation for more years than Paul Skenes
Yep but Poche also holds records and was a major piece of the staff on post season teams. Stanny is relegated to the bottom of the order
quote:
Ashton lost an outfield spot. Stanfield and Curiel took open outfield spots. Pretty simple.
Nah Larson was never playing CF so that’s irrelevant. I do agree Curiel should be in CF which could free up the potential of Larson in a corner
quote:
Milam, when hitting the ball well, was doing so at the top half of the order.
Not exclusively. He was moved up BECAUSE he was hitting, and the sad part is he was really the only one which tells you how inconstant and middling our lineup was a year ago.
Jay finally admitted earlier this season what was obvious last year — they couldn’t score without hitting HRs
The sad thing is this team hasn’t been much different lately

Jason Kelly made $278,600.00 per year at Washington
So you’re admitting he took a pay cut to leave LSU for Washington (which has never won anything in baseball)
Plenty of rumors he couldn’t stand Jay

My prevailing point from day one is that he has no excuses for not buying the best players now because of LSU’s immense resources
Pawl didn’t have this. But it’s a thing now and it should only enhance LSU’s advantages but Jay’s allowed Tony to rise up and knock him back a peg

quote:And he still produced at the top of the order... proving my point. It doesn't matter where in the order you hit from. This isn't 1985, they don't just grove fastballs to guys hitting in the 7 hole. They have advanced analytics on every player on the team. They shift the in and outfield on every player on the team. They have attack plans for every player on the team. 1-9 are treated the same on teams like LSU, especially when their numbers reflect their ability.

So you’re admitting he took a pay cut to leave LSU for Washington (which has never won anything in baseball)
Maybe, on top of everything else, he realized he didn't want to be a head coach.
The "rumors" are he couldn't stand working as much as Jay worked. Sounds soft to me.

Reading you posts/responses remind me of republicans and democrats debating.
You(republic in this example) are submitting facts and statements that can be verified/confirmed by anyone that has any sense of baseball goings on past 9th grade.
Your detractors just call you names (retard) and throw out enormous amounts of random shite that aren’t relevant to the argument.
There’s nothing you can say to change their minds or way of thinking, regardless of how right you are, but it’s so fun watching how angry and imagining how hard they’re pounding their keyboard and giggling while typing the response to your latest post.

False. Shined as freshman before he lost a ton of weight, COVID, injury

He was the perfect Jay player. Batted 5th or 6th and hit HRs or struck out

quote:No he wasn't.

Jay was hired on June 24, 2021.
Schloss was hired on June 9, 2021.
At Texas, Schloss was hired on June 25. He took over a much better team and was able to use Texas' infinite money to get some guys out of the portal late. You don't care about coach's first seasons anyway. None of what they're working with is their doing. Shame.

He then lost weight and was awful in 2021.

Weird that seems to contradict your other main point which is that he isn’t a good coaches because he bough his roster in 2023.

Pawl didn’t have this.
He only had 15 years to recruit good players.
quote:

No, that was Paul letting a guy at Tennessee rise up. Vitello won 50 games and whipped beat us 5 times in 1 season before Jay took the job.
If anything Jay clawed back the gap sending your BF packing in Omaha and winning a NC before Tony.
And again, clearly Tennessee is spending money on every program.
Vitello’s players aren’t playing for free.

False. Even is Poche played one season he was still a key piece of a staff that made a deep run

Nah Jay has said he doesn’t like playing freshmen in key defensive positions. See Milam 2024 to 2025

You’re right, Jay needs to move Curiel to the 8 hole. Would be smart amirite
