Right. In baseball, you're never "fixed." Its a game of adjusting and correcting.
The LSU baseball team is in good shape. Early season stuff brings in the casual baseball fans who panic though.

Like the level headedness when LSU loses a few games? Is that the level headedness you are talking about?
I'm not riding the Omaha train, but certainly will give this team time to right the ship, even if it doesn't happen on the rant's timeframe.

agreed.
The thing I liked the most was the energy they had Saturday and Sunday! Those kids were fired up!

and 17 are wins. The only bad losses are the UT game and the A&M losses.
You need to break down information a bit better.

I think most would agree that he wasn't a bad hire
The number of people suggesting he should be fired/never been hired prove otherwise.

But the belief this team was an Omaha team after the first 2 weekends of the season was asinine. Many of us recognized that we lacked pitching, and we still lack pitching.
This is an Omaha lineup, a Sunbelt pitching staff, and a SWAC defense. The pitching staff and defense were better Saturday and Sunday. If that becomes the new norm, and the bad pitching/errors become outliers then we can go far.

I hope this is sarcasm and not that you've actually missed the whole point of this thread?
The Eric has been right throughout this thread. He agrees that the knee-jerk negative reactions were premature, and he points out the other side of that coin: that the knee jerk positive reactions are sometimes over the top. Let it play out. Let’s see if the errors are under control. Let’s see if Money can handle Friday nights. Let’s see if these freshman arms can deliver all season like they did this weekend. In the meantime, it sure was fun watching the Tigers stomp a mudhole in the Gators!

At this point, the sample size of mediocre play versus solid competition is greater than good play versus solid competition.
The OP was painting the narrative that Jay Johnson says "You can suck my dick, we riding"
In reality, he made some good changes on Saturday and Sunday that worked in our favor. But when you are playing 50 games a year you are bound to have a good series or two. I want to see if the team can carry the momentum. So I am not gonna think that the entire team is fixed and we will win every series from here out.

we didnt perform poorly in all 22. Again, you see what you want to see. Of course we could play better than we have. There is no need to be a drama queen
Of course, everyone gets frustrated with poor play, but to just go on and on and on and on? What is the point.
Id rather the negas that go hide after every win than the yeah buts from the diehard haters

Yuuup. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

We knocked the ball around Saturday and Sunday, but we still looked helpless against their ace pitcher. I know their Friday guy is really good, but the difference in our hitting is troubling considering the pitchers we will be facing every Friday.

15 were wins, but thats besides the point
There were still concerns in those 15. Bad errors on routine plays, piss poor at bats, base running miscues, etc. Just because you win, doesn't mean you played a perfect game. It makes those mistakes a little easier to swallow, sure. But it doesn't excuse them.

Agree 100%. But that doesnt mean you can just look past the pattern of head-scratching errors and what seemed to be a lack of focus plaguing the entire team.

I see what is on the field. A good baseball team that has made almost twice as many more than any other team in the conference. A lot of them were mind-boggling
. Looks like the right buttons may have been pushed though. AGAIN, im with you guys on this
I dont know how else to say it. My point here was that the thread is being nothing but hypocritical.

For at least a few of our remaining series, the guys we will face on Friday are closer to what we saw on Saturday than they are to Barco.

They looked good. I’ll trust a guy who is held in very high regard in baseball circles. You keep being miserable though. I’m sure you know better than Jay Johnson like others on the board. Not sure why y’all aren’t coaching in major college baseball being that you know everything
Tempering optimism after a decent series win against a UF team that struggles hitting for average and has 1 decent starter is not being miserable.
I didn’t see the pesky TAMU type of hitters, did you?
Their pitching seemed to be worse than TAMUs.
LSU without errors could have won 2/3 from TAMU and this series as well as best LaTech. The margin of error for this team is extremely thin.
Am I being cautiously optimistic? Yes. And so should you.
This isn’t a knock on Johnson. It is about where they are.

Weird, you temper optimism but the negativity flows like the Mississippi River.
Why must you temper optimism, but its OK for you to melt down after a bad series?

I dont understand how youre not getting they are the same
Did we have issues coming into the weekend? Yep. Did we know if that type of play would continue the rest of the season? Nope. Gotta let it play out.
Do we have issues after the weekend? Yep. Although it looks like we may have cleaned it up. Do we know that we will keep that level of play up? Nope. Still gotta let it play out.
I just dont get how its ok to beat your chest and go after anyone that had prior concerns, after a good series. Yet anyone that voiced concerns after the first 22 games is a miserable pos "negatiger".
Disclaimer: Im completely disregarding any of the dumbshits that said "fire him" or "the job is too big". I saw those too, and thats clown type shite
