Wild to say next year is a big for Johnson's job security coming off a NC last year, but there's not a chance in hell we can have a season like this next season


No, while disapointing, a coach who has won two of the past three national titles is not on the hot one year later.

And he's developed nothing unless they were just complete freaks already!
There's plenty of arm talent but someone has to develop these little darlings "between the ears" talent!
It's obvious

You don't think LSU is to college baseball what Alabama and Duke are to football and basketball respectively? I don't understand how anyone could disagree with that

I think it is stupid to try to compare the different sports.

You keep saying it's "pointless" and "stupid" but don't explain why

How exactly is LSU not to college baseball what Alabama and Duke are to their respective sports?

You do realize I'm talking strictly resources, championship pedigree, and history, right?

What is the common thread of those 3 pitchers crapping the bed, and they all certainly did, along with others.
That would be Yeskie's tutelage in case you are stumped.
Why he doesn't get credit for ruining these 3 high potential pitchers dumbfounding. What pitcher has gotten better under Yeskie this past year?

In terms of pedigree, they are not on the level of Alabama but are better than Duke.

In terms of history, I'd say about the same as pedigree. Maybe less of a gap with Duke. LSU baseball was usually mediocre to bad before Skip arrived.


In terms of resources, LSU baseball is not on par with the resources allocated to Duke basketball, as a basketball-first school, nor are they on the level of Alabama.

When Skip was at LSU, the resources dedicated to baseball were meager at best. He turned the program into what it was through hard work and was helped by the lack of interest in college baseball by the bulk of the SEC and D1 colleges in general. That did change a little as Skip started winning.

In the current NIL format, LSU is mid-tier in the SEC in terms of money allocated aside from coaching salaries (Jay skews that due to winning two natties in 3 years)

But I still find the discussion less than thought-provoking.

Let’s just say he’s got the entire realm of the pitching coach down pat.

Yeah, I don’t get it either. Evans hasn’t pitched well this year.

How many guys really progressed in year two or three with yeski? Kade Anderson and maybe Schmidt? If we don’t hit on the portal or get a freshman that’s instantly ready, you can guarantee that they will be useless by the next years end.

Our pitching staff did not improve at all during the season. We had guys that pitched well last season who regressed this season.

You starters have to be a little deeper - losing two starters should not tank your season they we sunk to the bottom so fast

Revisit 2023 with Skenes and Floyd gone. Revisit 2025 without Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson.

In 23 we also had a borderline forst round pick that didn’t even pitch. Two of our most important pitchers were really draft guys, either. Our bullpen came up huge last year too. It’s not just losing 2 starters that’s the problem, which is the point. The whole staff sucks this year and nearly everyone we returned regressed. That doesn’t happen by chance.

breakdown the lack of defense especially at catcher. You have to be able to trust your catcher and simply put, none of them- at least most of the season - were able to block pitches in the dirt. Then there is the entire issue by not making plays behind him which leads to throwing more pitches than he should to get out of an inning. Defense and pitching go hand in hand. Yit is very hard to separate the 2.
LSUs team last season fielded incredibly well.

WHY DIDNT HE? Doesn’t go there. He was a freshman and then was injured if I remember correctly, it wasn’t until last season late he was who he was.

Ty Floyd was in his own head all season until the very end. If any coach wanted to end his night, all he had to do was talk
To the ump or take a pitching time-out and Floyd was DONE. He was terrible after that happened.

defense and catching is responsible for multiple losses. That is a fact. When you have to throw more pitches, you will “suck” more.

You left off how Moore was out most of SEC play meaning they had to go to the pen to make up those 5-6 innings a game. It was even worse with Evans out also.

The 2024 season was a down season which is acceptable coming off a natty


The 2024 team started 3-12 in SEC and were left for dead. This was primarily due to playing the toughest part of their schedule in the first 15 and the schedule getting easier toward the end of the season. They ended 11-4 over their last 15 to get to 14 wins and barely making the tourney. We are 3-12 over the last 15. Difference is that it is coming at the end of the year. Losing early to Vaderbilt and the losses at MSU were the really killers this season.

I also think this season looks VERY different if Cooper Moore, Stanfield and Brown were all healthy. ..
