So it's Jay's fault for recruiting? Someone needs to be accountable for LSU not being able to throw a strike.
Jay has already taken blame. It also doesn't help that he lost starting pitching. Once a starter is lost its a cascading effect. Guys you would only use in mid week games have to pitch is sec play.

Your expectations are waaay too low. How many walks or hit batters will it take for some of you guys to realize that these pitchers aren’t getting fundamental pitching mechanics taught to them.
I’ll say it again. All of these guys in the bullpen could have gone anywhere that they wanted and some turned down the major leagues.
Why can’t they throw strikes??? Did they just recruit ALL bad pitchers?

Cooper wasn’t all that when he was healthy. It’s a subpar staff by LSU standards void of any pitchers who will be picked in top 5 rounds.
Yeskie can’t develop unless the pitcher comes fully baked.

10 walks in 5 innings. 4 free bases in the first inning yesterday. The worst guy on the roster shouldn't put up those numbers. Yall acting like this is ok for LSU.
Eta. This isn't ok on high school teams.

He literally developed kade.

Agreed Mike....can we leave him in Athens? Along with whoever is coaching the catchers?

I would rather them get rid of Jordan and whoever coaches the infield.
We need more pitchers that can throw several pitches for strikes and less guys who throw a four seam fastball 95+ but can’t control anything else.

Catchers have steadily improved

Please explain why EVERY returning pitcher is worse than they were last year

Yeskie will be the sacrificial lamb after the season.
Please baby Jesus

agree, he cant develop
fricking hell. Anderson didn’t develop? Did Eyanson look the same beginning of the season to the end? How about Shores? He went from losing his starting job to becoming a key reliever in the postseason. And he directly credited Yeskie for adjusting his mechanics and using him exclusively out of the stretch later in the season.
As for this year, while no one has made a big leap, Schmidt is still much improved over last season and Fontenot has made a pretty significant jump after not even getting innings last year. We just don’t have a talent on this staff to compete with the starters on the last 3 teams. Evans is probably the only one who has that level of stuff and he hasn’t translated to being a starter. Moore is solid, but he’s not as good and any of the previous 3 years of top 2 starters.
I’ll be the first to admit that what Yeskie does doesn’t work for a lot of average college pitchers. It also takes time for many who are good enough to come around, as several haven’t made that jump until later in the season. If anything, the issue is doing a better job of finding pitchers whose mechanics and mentality translate to how Yeskie works. That obviously didn’t happen with this portal class other than Moore and none of the freshmen came in ready to assume major roles this year.

Anderson wasn’t capable of starting an SEC game and barely contributed innings in SEC play his first year. How did last year go? Did some magical fairy sprinkle dust on him in Cape Cod?
Eyanson started last year not making it past the 4th or 5th. How did he end the season?
Are you going to tell us Shores was fully baked as a starter now?
I guess Holman and Jump were the same from opening week and the 3-13 beginning of SEC play until the postseason?
You are as casual as it gets. But I guess that’s to be expected from a proven and previously banned alter who may not even be an LSU fan.

I know that Yeskie is a legendary pitching coach, but trying to get outs overwhelmingly by strikeout is very inefficient. It takes too many pitches to get outs, and runs up the pitch count quickly with your starters. I bet we haven’t had more than 3 starts in SEC games this year when the starters went more than 5 innings. Remember when Mestepey used to pitch. He could get through the 7th in about 80 pitches because he got so many ground ball and fly outs.
