Ack is far more likely to give up a one swing homer in the 9th than Jump


Based on what, striking out the side the previous inning? That’s a serious reach.

wouldn't. Ack has been great down the stretch and dating back to last year, was elite in the postseason.


I guess you missed his start vs Wofford on Sunday

Based on years of watching Ack. He can be very inconsistent. And Jump is extremely consistent.

It was the right plan by Jay. It just didn't work. Hindsight is bullshite.

Right on catfish, but hindsite is kinda fun for all of us old couch potatoes. We’ve got the whole summer with NOTHING else to BS about.

Pitching is a mindset/mentality. Jump has been trained all season to be a starter. The routine is different, he knows he can give up a few hits, walks, etc and still be ok through 6/7 innings.


This is such a ridiculous argument that doesn't even hold water. Starters are put in for relief late in regionals every single year. When you get to game 6, and especially 7, most teams have to rely on those guys for an inning or two.

Jump was the wrong move timing wise. I think you go to Jump after Ack starts to falter. Would've kept Jump more fresh.


I also dont think you lead off with White because he went every at bat without the option of having runners on base.... the whole vibe of yesterday felt off.



Helluva run for this squad and CJJ's future looks extremely bright

It wasn’t the wrong move. It was a smart move. UNC just responded because they’re a good team. We lost because we didn’t hit well.

I agree with this. We hit really well when Braswell was the lead off recently. White has always been better when guys were on base.

Except that time he didn't make it out of the first inning against Wofford.

LSU scored 4 against Wofford and 2 against UNC with Braswell leading off in the regional.

You’re right. We essentially had the same lineup the last 3 games. Either way, we didn’t hit well last night, at all.

Yes and LSU hit well in the 2 games yesterday, after the change. Why would you want to change that lineup?

JJ has shuffled the lineup often this season. Maybe he should have done it one more time, maybe no. Either way, we didn’t hit.

hindsight being 20/20 but Jump very nearly got out unscathed, a few close calls and a bad error makes the decision look worse

I think people would be raging harder had you left ack in with jump available and ack gave up the lead.

Again, why would he shuffle the lineup after it produced yesterday? That was the first time they used that order and it worked, so you think he should have tinkered with it just because?

Dutton was the wrong move.

Idk what you want from me, man. Does it matter? We lost. It didn’t work out.

I'm just curious what makes you think he should have changed the lineup, other than knowing they didn't hit after the fact?

Again, just curious why you would want him to change the lineup that raked all day yesterday.

I had absolutely no issues with Jay going with Jump in the 9th. But I do have issue with the pitch sequence that Yeskie called to the 9 hole hitter calling for 9 straight Fastballs. He did the same thing to Herring on Sunday.
