Yep

quote:

I dont know many players who will be retained


But this isn't why. We will be losing all of our outfield starters, our starting shortstop, and the players who have the most starts so far this season at first base and shortstop. Plus a couple of pitchers who have had significant innings.

Fielders in bold were starters, italicised have a few starts under their belt

Out of eligibility

Tanner Reaves
Seth Dardar
Dax Dathe
Grant Fontenot
Chris Stanfield
Brayden Simpson
Zach Yorke
Zac Cowan
Connor Benge

Likely going to the draft

Steven Milam
Jake Brown
Derek Curiel


Which of these Guys do you think will not be "retained".


Ethan Clauss Freshman
Mason Braun Freshman
William Patrick Freshman
Omar Serna Jr. Freshman
Jack Ruckert Freshman
Reagan Ricken Freshman
Jonah Aase Freshman
Zion Theophilus Freshman
Marcos Paz Freshman
Cade Arrambide Sophomore
John Pearson Sophomore

William Schmidt Sophomore
Mavrick Rizy Sophomore
Casan Evans Sophomore
Danny Lachenmayer Sophomore
Cooper Williams Sophomore
Ethan Plog Sophomore
Deven Sheerin Redshirt Sophomore
Daniel Harden Junior
Trent Caraway Junior
Cooper Moore Junior
Santiago Garcia Junior
Edward Yamin IV Redshirt Junior
Gavin Guidry Redshirt Junior
Jaden Noot Redshirt Junior

Your 3 best players.. Milam, Curiel and Brown are all draft eligible. Will be looking at a completely different team next year. I’m expecting Serna and Braun will have to step up.

With there being complaints about the lack of revenue sharing at LSU in baseball, I wouldn’t be surprised if Jay Johnson had one foot out of the door.

Could Jay Johnson make the same move Tony V made? Would he want to try managing at the next level?

I think at this point, that decision would be completely his. He'd be a 5th year senior and likely a DSA, so he wouldn't count against the 34 man limit. If he graduates and determines he'd like to drop down to a lower conference to finish his career and potentially see more time on the mound, I could see it.

But I could also see him back on the roster next year.

We had the same fielding % in 2022 that we do this year, and at the same point in the season that year it was in was in the .950s. Not saying that excuses our defense this year, but this is kind of who Jay has been in his career. Last year was a pretty large outlier for him having such a good defense

Roughly the same rate as 2022, both were really bad. 2025 was a historically good year. Jay does prioritize hitting over fielding.

I did a quick look back at all the seasons to 2016

2016 - 59 Errors, in 66 games played, equating to 0.8939 Errors/game

2017 - 53 Errors, in 72 games played, equating to 0.7361 Errors/game

2018 - 50 Errors, in 66 games played, equating to 0.7576 Errors/game

2019 - 56 Errors, in 66 games played, equating to 0.8485 Errors/game

2020 - 13 Errors, in 19 games played, equating to 0.6842 Errors/game

2021 - 63 Errors, in 63 games played, equating to 1.0000 Errors/game

2022 - 82 Errors, in 62 games played, equating to 1.3226 Errors/game

2023 - 59 Errors, in 71 games played, equating to 0.8310 Errors/game

2024 - 51 Errors, in 66 games played, equating to 0.7727 Errors/game

2025 - 44 Errors, in 68 games played, equating to 0.6471 Errors/game

2026 - 50 Errors, in 38 games played, equating to 1.3158 Errors/game

I'm just a dumb coonass. The above post makes no sense to me.

The same amount of errors as games played? Every year?

Looking back, he's been about the same as Manieri was, except for 2022 & this year, looking at it as errors per game (not sure why I didn't use fielding percentage ).

I'm the dummy; I used a spreadsheet and picked the wrong column to generate the sentences. I will correct it.

We may have teh suck this year but at least we're not Coppin State.

38 runs on 12 hits, you say?

That's because their pitchers walked 25 and hit 9 others.

This is probably Jays worst defensive team since he’s been at lsu. They are bad.

This board has completely removed year 1 from their brains. Bee happening all year.

Errors

Our middle infield:
Thompson 18
Doughty 14
Cranford 5

3rd Base:
Berry 7
Merrifield 5

If we didn't have Tre Morgan saving our arse on errant throws, those numbers would have been much higher.

Add to that, and we don't exactly track the stat, I have never seen more strike threes result in a runner at first base than we had with McManus at catcher that year. It was incredible honestly

Pitching was bad too. We just hit a lot better than we have this year and we won 17 SEC games, so people have seemingly completely forgotten how fricking bad we were defensively

This is way too much effort buddy. The echo chamber just wants to upvote and agree.
