Pitching philosophy might need to change

We aren’t going to have multiple 1st rounders or Skenes at starting pitching every year, or in the bullpen for that matter. Henceforth, we need to pursues pitchers who can locate and pitch to contact rather than guys that have great stuff and can rack up strikeouts, but at the same time can’t locate and will get absolutely touched at times.

This has been a fricking pathetic showing by Yeskie. I’m in full agreement Jay deserves a war chest for NIL but you can’t tell me Wes Johnson is flush with resources. There has to be some huge adjustments in training and development from the pitching staff.

I’ve said this before. Yeskie takes great pitchers and makes them elite. But he can’t take meh pitchers and make them good,

I am not a baseball fan but follow all LSU sports. To me the outcome of baseball is unpredictable but this team is predictably bad.

yeskie gets elite pitchers and let's them be elite. He develops no one!

11 runs on 7 hits tonight. That's a routine line for LSU pitching this season. Instead of trying to strike every batter out, how about we mix in a strike every now and then?

I’m counting the days until Yeskie gets fired. It’s less than 10 now.

In my opinion, yeskie is good at elevating things like velo and spin rate in pitchers, so the stuff. I think he struggles to teach pitchers true command of their ptiches. You see it with Evans, Rizy, Lachenmeyer, and such. Basically, the pitcher needs to come with already having command for yeskie to elevate their overall game with stuff

Be careful; you can’t be critical on this board. Temder ears will be offended.

Agree. Great pitchers already have this.

We doubt your ability to count to 10, actually.

If you don't have command, the other shite doesn't matter.

Some fella last year named Kade Anderson seemed to develop ok under him.
