re: Jay Johnson live on Mik’d Up Game Thread

It boggles my mind that after years of listening to this show I CONSTANTLY have to either turn up or down the audio. If the guys can’t be bothered to use the mics right or the audio mixed right, they should just use damn lapel mics

My only complaint about Jay is I feel he’s a little too soft on the players. These are now paid athletes.

We have a million dollar first baseman who’s going through the motions and swinging through every chest high fastball

every time a player is going through a slump, some dickhead always claims the player isn't giving effort. Just stop. Like have you ever watched baseball before?

mRight?

Jones isn’t swinging throw pitches because he doesn’t care

he cares and is trying to do too much. He doesn’t want to just draw a walk he wants to win the game.

These are now PAID athletes, like Jay has said. They are PAID to perform.

MLB players are paid to perform too. When they go into a slump it isn't because they're not giving effort.

You think Jones came back because he loves dear LSU so much?

I think he came back because he wants to get better and make more money. Players don't do that for lack of caring about playing well. Quite the opposite actually.

The criticism is now warranted whether you want to sit there and cry about it or not.

you can criticize him for not playing well at the moment. Saying he's not trying is bullshite.

I also get the impression you think Jones is making waaaay more than he actually is. This isn't football bud

Hoping for a rematch with Northwestern St in Omaha
