Just one more game left...
Good Ole travel ball fundamentals!
Back in my day we called him a quitter...
Typical of the "head cases" on the entire pitching staff this season. They all, with what looks like a couple exceptions, don't have a mental togetherness or toughness to be winners.
Individual laurels are always indicative of team success and laurels.
Bethball comes through! Can they make the next step????

I said early in the season that JJ had created a whole lot of mental anxiety with this staff... seems like none of them knew their role on the team, never knew if JJ's quick hook would get them, if they would be pulled after pitching to 1-2 batters, etc. Sure, there were a couple injuries, and unfortunately, no one had the will to step up, simply because they weren't mentally ready. Take it from an old coach... The mental aspect of playing any sport plays a big part in the physical aspect.

Last 3 innings...

How about... DISGUSTING!
Is a pathetic embarrassment to LSU this season. Lack the quality of what is expected of players and coaches wearing LSU Tigers across the uniform chest.

Probably better players would help the situation!
Better recruit some SEC caliber players! Coaches ain't the problem!
This entire staff sucks pretty bad... totally not SEC caliber... poor evaluation and poor recruiting by JJ and staff. These guys might throw hard, in the 90's, but there's no movement on the pitches and they seem to have no pitches other than meatball fastballs!

Wonder if Beth and her staff was in Sulphur on Sundayto check out the state talent??? Plenty homegrown talent on display.
Yamin is not SEC caliber... not a good pickup by JJ... 36 ab and 14 k's... doesn't look like any help next season
For the most part, in my opinion, most of the problem is mental, not physical. Most have no idea what their role is, pitched scared because they know JJ has a quick hook, don't know if they might pitch to only 1 batter, and never are allowed to work out of jams (JJ the analyst never goes by a gut feeling, only by what the analytics tell him). There is no continuity in the minds of these young men, living in a baseball pitching role of "who knows" when and how much I may pitch. This is mostly all on JJ, and not Yeskie. Most people don't understand the role the mental aspect plays in athletics. Just my opinion as to why this pitching staff has performed so poorly... they pretty much are playing scared when they are on the mound.
