When Wes Johnson made it known he was taking the UGA HC job Jay sat him. For multiple reasons. He was already actively trying to take players and staff with him. Jay took over, we won, Wes didn’t get the exposure he wanted

F Georgia! I never had much opinion about Georgia, especially baseball until this year and I cannot stand them!

"Jay snuffed him out". Pretty evident, though I have no idea when Jay took over, but it was Jay walking out to the mound & talking to the pitcher. He usually only went out to change pitchers. Plus, there were several shots, especially in the playoffs, of Wes sitting alone in the dugout, not the usual place for a pitching coach during a game. Note that Yeskie was always sitting 1-2 steps from the field, basically sitting next to CJJ. on the dugout steps.


Yeah Wes didn't do shite down the stretch in 2023. Coincidentally was when a number of struggling pitchers started to put together the pieces and had huge, important outings for us.

I think the big ballpark + erratic winds screwed with their heads.


I predicted before the series started that all those HR they hit at Foley Field were gonna be long outs in Omaha. Pitcher’s park that plays big.

Winds that are regularly shifting in direction & speed due to terrain, changing weather conditions & surrounding structure impacts.

Headwinds turning into crosswinds turning into tailwinds at low & higher speeds.

While average wind speeds hover around 10 mph to 12 mph, Omaha does see occasional high-wind events.

Ah, okay, i mean that pretty typical of ballparks all around the country, winds shift. But has definitely happened more in Omaha this year than most

Jay should hire you as meteorologist asst. Coach- specializing in Win adjustments- wind is wind every player is in the same ballpark.
Are you saying OUs coaches are recruiting better wind knowledge players than Georgia. Maybe OU had Giant Fans blowing through their practice field to get ready. Some of you take yourself a little too serious.
Seriously
