PP7 for heisman

quote:

---

what does this mean? he pitched some at usc?

---

He came to college as a two way guy and had a couple appearances at USCe.

After going undrafted, he switched to being a PO and is currently in rookie ball for the Royals as a relief pitcher. Has gotten lit up in limited appearances, but I wouldn't say that's entirely unexpected. Was up to 95 off the mound.

quote:

---

Noah Yoder. Just on the mound for Virginia pumping 97 and is apparently in the portal according to his social media.

---

On twitter, I see that he recently retweeted a UVA teammate who was entering the portal. Don't see him entering (unless it's on Instagram).

quote:

---

Guidry wasn’t good the first time through a lineup.

---

Guidry was being asked to do more than he could. Go look at his game logs and see how much better he has been in his career when he only had to go one inning vs extending beyond that.

quote:

---

We weren’t a good when Evans and Moore were healthy.

---

Moore had one bad start on a stupid carpet mound at Vanderbilt.

We weren't great, but losing 6 innings a weekend in college baseball is devastating.

You can keep defending PM from whatever coaches committee seat you're sitting in, but I know two different people this happened to.

---

2018 - Hal Hughes - (None) (.221, .174, .154)

---

I understand Smith was hurt, but I'll still never understand how he had 190 PA in games where Smith was healthy.

In his first start, he had arguably the best game of his career going 2/4 with a 2B and 2 RBI.

After that game, he had a total of 6 multi hit games against P5 competition. 1 against UT (the next game), 1 against Mississippi State in Hoover, 2 against Missouri, and 2 against Arkansas.

He also wasn't that great of a fielder. His career high in fielding percentage at LSU was .961 in 2019 playing 2B when he had 6 E in 153 TC. Gavin Dugas had a .973 fielding percentage with 4 E in 150 TC in 2023.

His best year was comparable to 2026 Seth Dardar defensively, from a statistical standpoint.

Sorry :lol: had to get that off my chest.

1) IF, IF '27 is the same as '26, what then?

---

It depends why the season went that way. If you lose all three starting pitchers to injury in February, you don't do anything.

If everyone is healthy and the pitching staff blows and guys get worse, you reevaluate the pitching coach.

If the pitching staff is healthy and the offense is awful, you evaluate why that is.

It's not as simple as "if we're bad we have to fire everyone!"

quote:

---

2) Why does someone think '27 will be significantly better than '26?

---

Because the two times Jay Johnson has had an early exit while at LSU, he has made the necessary changes and won a title the next year.

This season was the anomaly. On top of the portal timing, you also had:

1. Less funds than contenders;
2. Horrific draft luck;
3. Underwhelming portal class;
4. More bad baseball luck than I can remember;
5. Injuries to all three starting pitchers; and
6. Injuries to 6 starting position players, including some of your best players.

It's really easy to look at 2026 and say "every thing that could have possibly gone wrong, went wrong." Statistically speaking, not even taking the general ability of LSU baseball or Jay or Yeskie, that won't happen again.

quote:

---

But if the data shows he's trending way worse than CPM, then what?

---

It will take a LOT more negative data to show he's "tending way worse than CPM."

Paul basically finished his career with 4 straight poor seasons here. Travel in '18, upset in '19, would have been worse than '25 in '20, and were gifted a regional appearance in '21. Then the 2022 team didn't have a single SEC caliber starting pitcher.

Jay has also won two titles with two very different teams taking very different roster building approaches. He works infinitely harder than PM did. The staff is already on multiple guys and the portal doesn't open for a week.

quote:

---

He had no choice. Nobody is signing up to coach on his sinking ship.

He will be fired next year after LSU finishes in the bottom half of the SEC again. And if he’s not, hopefully all NIL funding at the very least is pulled

No one engage. This guy is a pedophile. He didn't see anything wrong with (and actually defended) Wander Franco sexually assaulting a 14 year old because "they were dating."

To be clear, these were the posts:

Victimless crime

---

^ That is about Wander Franco sexaully assaulting an 8th grade aged girl.

quote:

---

Can’t assault someone that consents and is literally the guy’s girlfriend for over a year

---

quote:

---

And yes, 14 year olds have sex a lot in Latin American countries. . Most have 2 kids by the time they are 20. I’m not outraged. I mean it’s basic civilization for 5,000 years

---

According to JoeyP, it's okay for 8th graders to frick 19 year olds because the Aztecs did it.

ETA: also the sentence I quoted makes zero sense, you may want to give it another try

---

It would if you went to a better school than ULL.

No one has a worse inferiority complex than ULL, while also being as inferior as they are.

For example, Auburn has a complex but they're not really inferior to Alabama except in football.

ULL is worse than LSU in just about everything from academics to athletics to financial support to fan support. Still, they love to say LSU is "insecure" and put dumb little monikers on the university that no one else uses. Just generally gay behavior.

Good. This exact staff won a title in '25 and all but the pitching coach and strength coach won a title in '23.

Starting Anthony Eyanson vs Kade Anderson is not the same as Austin Ross vs Ranaudo/Coleman.

Also, what happens if the #2 (not Anthony Eyanson) can only go 4 or gets in trouble? Then you have to go to your bullpen a day earlier. Then your #1 is pitching on less rest the next weekend. It compounds and snowballs.

Just look at the trouble the 4 seeds gave the 1 seeds today. I don't know what else to tell you. More 4 seeds won the opening game last year than any time in the last 15 years.

two 4 seeds have already won today.

UF and Kansas struggled. UCLA is in a dog fight. A&M is trailing in the 5th.
