I said a few wks ago that LSU has scored enough runs to win many more games but the poor pitching and the poor fielding cannot be overcome right now.
In 10 of 15 SEC losses, LSU has scored 4 or fewer. In 5 of those 10 games, the opponent scored 6 or fewer. In two of the 6 SEC wins, LSU scored 4 or fewer runs.
So in SEC play, LSU pitching has held opponents to 4 runs or fewer runs in 12 games and won only 2 of those. Judged by those games, that sounds like a hitting issue(it is not soley that, btw). You should win at least half the games you hold a team to 4 runs or fewer, LSU. LSU has won less than 20% of those.
The problem is putting together a complete game on offense, defense, and pitching. Those have been rare, and no single aspect of the team is good enough to carry a lagging part consistently.

If being critical of coaching that has LSU 6-15 in the SEC makes one a troll so be it.
That's not it.

I make no bones about that. You can be negative or positive. We made different choices.

who accepts putrid results with glee
No one is happy with these results. Give me one example of me being gleeful about this record. Just because I am not whining like a PMSing girl making unprovable (and incorrect, based on the opinions of most in the college baseball world) assertions doesn't mean I'm happy with the current results.
I get it, you love being miserable, but need others to wallow in your misery with you. You'll find plenty of company here.

Earl Weaver
Earl Weaver once had four 20 game winning pitchers on the same team--Dave McNally, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson all won 20+ games for the 1971 Orioles. I believe Tom Selleck may have been on that team as well. They were loaded

This season would look vastly different if Kade and Eyanson were still part of the weekend rotation. An acute absence of arms will keep us at arms length from postseason play.
Not to mention our best performer(Moore) being hurt and the fact that we had to replace 3 of the 4 best defensive infielders as a group that LSU has ever had.

You confuse misery with disappointment and constructive suggestions on a remedy. In this case, staff changes are coming with some targeted firings.
Not looking for company as I read your perspective with an open mind.

He never played beyond college. By 1971, he was making a living as an actor.Posted on 5/2/26 at 10:27 am to Geauxldilocks

Could be, there are so many on here who are spouting misery, it is easy to mistake honest disappointment, which we all have, for simple whining. If that is the case here, you have my apologies.

I missed that part, suggesting players improved despite a coach is not a constructive suggestion of a remedy, nor is suggesting he be fired without suggesting a better replacement.

Who do you think will be fired? I'm not convinced there will be any but time will tell. Here are the guys and my perspective on them.
Yeski? Doubtful, if he leaves, it will be for another job. If he were fired, he would have a job as quickly as he wanted one.
Wanaka? He's not getting fired, and he's not leaving Jay as long as he is capable of functioning as a coach.
Josh Jordan(Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator)? Maybe. That would not hurt my feelings, but he is a highly regarded assistant. If the recruiting failures are mostly attributable to him, I could see it.
Justan Bridgman(Assistant Coach)? I don't know for sure, but the fact that he was a GA for Jay at Arizona before moving on to other coaching positions might help him to stay.
Jamie Tutko(Director of Player Development - Pitching)? He's been with LSU since 2016. I doubt he'll be fired, but they may change his duties.
Josh Simpson(Assistant Coach)? Maybe because he is a big part of the recruiting structure. If Jay thinks recruiting failed due to his work, he may be out.
Ben Nippolt(Assistant Director of Player Development - Position Players)? I don't think so; he is mostly a grunt at this point, and I don't think he is really part of any problem.
I am genuinely curious about your thoughts on the matter. No sarcasm intended.

I’m on the record as Yeskie because you can’t finish near or at the bottom at LSU without changes. You have to sell season ticket holders on an attempt to improve and JJ is not immune.
I could see Dave Lawn (JJs pitching coach at Arizona now at TCU) reuniting with JJ.
As for hitting coach, first call I’d make would be Gary Gilmore to see if he wants back in.

I like the idea of Dave Lawn, but Gilmore's not leaving Myrtle Beach.
