This team is going to take time to come together which is absolutely the worst recipe for our chicken little side of the fanbase.
We did not get a dominate pitcher from the portal this year because there were none that entered. In general the portal talent has fallen off a bit and I think fans still expect us to land a skenes/tommy white type every year when that may be unrealistic.
We have a lot of talent on the pitching staff and a lot of guys with high upside tools but maybe not elite across all areas.
Our pitching ALWAYS gets better by post season and Jay ALWAYS finds the arms needed to be successful by seasons end. He’ll go from throwing out the whole staff to just pitching guys who can dominate when it matters.

He will keep tinkering with our line up throughout the year to find the best combo of offense and defense. He played a Jacob berry type for most of the season to eventually bench him when it mattered most.

TLDR: Jay uses every opportunity with each pitch, inning, game, series, and even season to season to be succesful when it matters (post season). He’s currently using the season to get freshmen playing time for next year and tinkering around to find out who he can trust in post season. It’s all just one big season long practice for post season play. It’s best to just sit back and watch the man work.

Dar needs to get better with his glove. You can't have a 2nd basemen be the liability he is right now in the infield.

All of these guys will get better and the best pitching will emerge

Never tagged him

UF’s lineup was absolutely ridiculous in 2023. If I remember correctly they had the most HR that year. Absolute gauntlet running through Tenn, Wake, and UF.
Not to mention a pesky UK team in the supers.

You realize Arkansas is showing some weaknesses so far this year as well? Logic has no place here.

It’s like people just throw the first though out of their brain (assuming they have one) without anything to back it up. I really thought even the fringes of this fan base would learn to just sit back and enjoy the process Jay goes through but maybe that was far too naive of me

I mean, if Schmidt keep struggling you don't think Sheerin has a good chance to at least see him in a day 3 start role to see if he can handle the load? Are you not aware of what he did before LSU?

---

I think the coaches know exactly what they have in each pitcher and will put us in the best position to win with what we have by seasons end

Get ready to grind. It’s been the wonkiest February I can remember

Where are you located? Justin Bowles is a good one if you want to fish out of the Rigolets

People thought our pitching was bad a lot of last season. Our pitching outside of Anderson/Eyanson apparently wasn’t good enough to win a title. Yeskie being overrated was a theme on here

---

Yeskies guys shine when it matters. Everything up until the post season is a learning lesson

If arambide and carraway can reach their full potential then this offense could end up being retarded

quote:

---

Because his breaking stuff hasn't been competitive today. It's an auto-take.

Disagree in that situation. His first two curves to that guy were perfect. Threw one more in the dirt and then all fast balls. Landed a perfect curve for the first pitch on the last dude. That should have been the 2-2 pitch
