Why would a sitting major league pitching coach leave for a lateral move to college, especially in the middle of the season on a first-place team? Unless this is a pure lifestyle change, something doesn’t add up.

Arky fans are melting on Twitter with this hire, but MS St fans are blaming him for a lot of TJ surgeries to their pitchers .. Twins fans are also melting so seems like a good hire and MS fans are just salty after their brothers won the natty today!

Holy shite. That’s insane that a college baseball program, can hire away an MLB coach, at that same position.

Maybe he misses college baseball and we’re giving him a raise

Pretty good hire

Just glancing at team era sinc he arrived to Minnesota

2019: 7/30
2021: 27/30
2022: 9/30

Didn't count 2020 due to covid

His best season was his first ranking 7th out of 30 teams in total team era.

Just providing a stat for other data geeks.

Key factor in this hire: both Johnson’s put their pencil/pen in their hat when not in use which is the first thing Jay was looking for

I’m surprised you even showed up in this thread since it’s something positive about our baseball program

Hopefully this helps with our recruiting class as well. Glad we have our guy before the draft hits.
Yeah, Mane!
Imagine those kids who have even a sliver of doubt about becoming professionals getting a call from an MLB Pitching Coach who will be their guy if they choose school instead.
I feel a lot better about us having the 6 or 5 guys we can count on to start games now.

I bet the Twins are in complete shock right now. They’re probably asking themselves, what the frick just happened

I'm guessing it's this. Bad timing for him but it's a job you don't turn down if you're listening.

MLB to College is not a lateral move, mane.
Can't say this sits well with me either but I'll guess he'll have a HC job in the near future.
Let's hope we don't lose him back to the professional levels over the winter, too.
