re: LSU finished SEC play dead last in ERA, WHIP, Walks, Runs allowed and Wild pitches

I agree with this thought process. The Fielding was so bad this as year as well that you had to try and get the K otherwise it would be Booted. Knowing that had to affect the way they called pitches?

Yeskie will be fired and everyone knows it.
Name your bet. Jay thinks he's the best pitching coach in the country, and Jay really doesn't give a shite about pitching to begin with.

Is Yeskie going through a divorce/mid life crisis like Coach O in '20 b/c our pitching was abysmal after a great '25 season.

quote:House was the DC at Kentucky 2 years.
I don’t see how you can compare him to House when he’s had so much success as a pitching coach. House was going from linebacker coach in the NFL to DC right? I never liked the idea of that because he wasn’t proven at the specialty.

and it took Jay about halfway through the SEC slate to take responsibility for it, which kinda bothered me,
That's a bit of revisionist history.
Going into the series that was the halfway point of SEC play (vs. Ole Miss) LSU was 6-6 in the league. Not great, but it wasn't a "total failure" at that point. Particularly, considering they were coming off of two back to back series wins vs. Kentucky and Tennessee. While there were definitely some ugly losses before that point, many felt things could be turning around at that point in the season. It was the loss to Bethune Cookman followed by the sweep at Ole Miss, struggle to beat NW State, then sweep vs. A&M where it was clear the wheels had total fallen off and I think Jay recognized as much.

but he finally did so either he's learned his lesson and this won't happen again or next year will be his Waterloo because this is LSU and baseball just means more than anywhere else.
It's hard to believe a guy who won 2 NCs in 3 years suddenly "forgot" how to coach and construct a roster last summer. What happened was probably a confluence of many things. This group of transfers didn't pan out like previous ones for reasons only fully know by the coaching staff, there were some untimely injuries, and some bad luck. Then, once the losing started it became a rut this team wasn't good enough to dig out off.
If we are having the same conversation this time next year then it will be a major concern. But until then I think Johnson has earned the benefit of the doubt that this is just one really bad outlier.

Sorry LSU Nation, (Sane Realists, Insane PumpMA's, Negative oriented Complain-A-Whiners) but it's totally unacceptable for the $3M "Highest Paid College Baseball HC in the Country" to produce those kind of putrid results.
A "Down Year" should be considered "Not advancing out of a home or away Regional" or maybe finishing the regular season at #15, instead of in the Top Ten..
This kind of gargantuan decline is unheard of and not anything to be "Fine and Patient" with.
JJ is not getting 3 MILLION DOLLARS from LSU to produce this level of Baseball.
He's got one off-season to FIX IT ALL or he'll be the next LSU HC to be removed a la Archer, Hallman, Laval, Brady, Johnson, Jones, Miles, Orgeron, Kelly and McMahon.

I’ve already posted this, but 4 of the past 10 national champions have missed the tournament the season following their title.
So, no, not only is this not “unheard of”, it’s actually pretty common.

This is the only logical thing you’ve said, and no one disagrees.

LSU isn’t firing him after next season no matter what. If it’s another season like this he will get one more, and believing otherwise is dumb.

agree. As I sat in the box yesterday it became clear to me that Yeskie needs to go after what his group produced this year. Much like Matt House getting canned in 2023 after having a solid 2022. Someone has to be accountable for having the worst unit in the league.
That's not a good comparison.
Yeskie has skins on the wall. He's got plenty of accomplishments and has done fairly well everywhere he's been and won a championship elsewhere.
Matt House hadn't accomplished shite before he was at LSU and so there was no leniency granted to him, especially since he cost the team a shot at a championship.
I don't say that to take up for Yeskie, but just to give perspective.
Yeskie will likely get at least another year, unless he plans on retiring, which I doubt that's the case.

revisiting the SEC schedule:
LSU won 2/3 against UK and Tenn and swept USC
That is a total of 7 sec wins
they won 1/3 against Vandy and OU but were in position to win at least one more in both series
that would have given them 4 sec wins
A&M swept LSU and LSU really didn't deserve to win any of the games
Ole Miss swept LSU but LSU was in position to at least win one of the games
MSU swept LSU but LSU could have easily won 2 of the games
UGA swept LSU but LSU was in position to win at least one of the games
that would have given you 4 sec wins
Florida swept LSU and LSU probably didn't deserve to win any of the games
LSU could have easily had 15 sec wins despite playing so bad

Pitchers can throw heat and have movement, they just have abysmal control.

Yeskie should be on the hot seat, his performance with the LSU pitching staff was atrocious this year.
I've always thought he was overrated, when he didn't get the head coaching position at Oregon St when Casey retired he jumped ship immediately.
The results of his pitching staffs since then have been all over the place with multiple programs.(Good & Bad.)
You can do beter than Nate.

Once again, showing everyone how completely fricking retarded you are..
All BS aside, what do you want LSU to do? Fire the staff, cut everyone, and start over?

Look at what I posted that you replied to and listen to Jay’s interview today with Pawl on SEC Network… it’s almost as if I paid attention to the season…

Here’s a reminder of what I posted..
quote:
Not making excuses. All I know is you don’t lose as much as you have the last few years and not pay the piper eventually on DEPTH. Like I’ve said we know he didn’t land a couple pitchers he wanted during the portal period for whatever reason (I suspect money). It is pretty simple as razor thin as they have been all season between winning close games and losing, the results can be skewed by not taking opportunities when you had them such as mental errors and not turning double plays. The defensive play, or lack thereof, has been part of the issues as much as losing Moore. This team is in the tourney if he starts all season and Brown is healthy. You need 13 wins and anyone that doesn’t believe they get that doesn’t know baseball. When you tax a thin staff, you’re making the pen pitch more when they shouldn’t have to and much of the results are what you saw. Last seasons team was far far better defensively . THAT factor into all of this. Lots of new position players either playing new positions out of need. The good news is if he can hold them all, they will be a hell of a lot better next season from that experience. Look at the run differential both ways between LSU and UGA…
