re: Jay has to be the smartest baseball coach we’ve ever had.

Jay is just different. Every single thing he does is done with the goal of winning baseball games.
We lucked out with the fact that he’s a likable guy and not an O’Sullivan

Skip Bertman won five College World Series championships and seven Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships in 18 years as head coach.
I can’t think of anyone else either lmfao

Putting Yorke at first base rather than DH is a head-scratcher that isn't a head-scratcher.

You must be young otherwise you would never say he’s the smartest but he’s definitely the closest to Skip you’ll get in my opinion.

Skip was worth an extra two to a few runs a game.
And that’s been said about him by some of the greatest coaches in college baseball history.

The biggest in-game difference I have noticed between him and Paul is that I never get the sense that Jay is leaving his pitcher in too long. As soon as I start to notice that the other team might be figuring out our pitcher, and that he’s starting to struggle, Jay calls for a pitching change. Under Paul, he would frequently pull pitchers that were dominating only to let another pitcher languish on the mound while they were struggling, giving up 4-6 runs before making a change.

Jay’s staff seems to make the pitcher decisions at the right moment at a much higher rate than any coach I have seen.

Sarcasm?
