re: Yeskie can make a good pitcher great, but can’t make an ok pitcher good
Posted by lionscoach on 4/27/26 at 10:49 am to Sir Fury
You do not forget how to throw a fastball to a spot, you are not allowed to throw a new pitch until you master it. Regardless if they are working new pitches in or not, they should be able to hit a spot with a fastball they have been throwing for years in most cases. Just my opinion.

So let me get this right, People actually think that Nate is not teaching pitchers to throw over the plate and hit their spots. Jay Johnson puts us in a shift and our pitchers can not pitch against the shift. We do not hit spots. The problem we have is that we do not have any bulldogs on the mound this year. Even Guidry is not at his normal shove it up your A&& self.
We just missed on a solid pitching staff this year. They looked good on paper but have failed to perform. It happens.
Nate Yeskie is one of the top pitching coaches in the country. I am not for or against him as a coach. I just know he is a national level pitching coach.
I am amazed that so many people try to question his ability as our pitching coach.
At some point this lack of production falls on the athlete to perform on the mound when they are called upon. We have kids coming out of the bullpen throwing 4 straight balls. This is on the athlete.
I do question pitch calls sometimes. But when a kid can only throw a strike with a curve and misses with a fastball, what are you going to call.
All we can do as a peanut gallery is support the process. The process does not work the same every year for every player. The NIL/transfer thing has hurt us and Jay has admitted he did not make the correct choices. I trust him to fix the issues. We as fans should trust his process.

re: All of this happened after Yorke was benched
Posted by lionscoach on 4/5/26 at 4:36 pm to NeilArmstrong1969
If you think this happened because Yorke was benched, there is no help for you. The kid is struggling for sure and he may need to be benched. But him being benched had nothing to do with the offensive shift. I would put more stock in us getting deep into their bullpen.

re: Warning for the athletic programs

You must have a miserable life. lol Chill out and enjoy the process of college sports. The good the bad and the ugly. Every single college in the country will and have experienced adversity, this will never change.
The issue that all college sports have is the idiotic fan bases that think they know the pulse of the programs. I am always amazed that people actually think they have some profound thought process. Just freaking enjoy life college sports mean nothing in the big picture.

re: How many DPs have we turned this year?

All the shifting is killing the DP chances. In my opinion. I think we are overthinking it.
re: Softball Power
Posted by lionscoach on 3/17/26 at 11:25 am to LSUJockStrap
I agree the players and coaches and admin could care less about how we feel about the production from softball. I agree they should not care. This board is full of nut jobs. If you as a fan do not think the players or coaches care you are just plain disconnected with athletics. You are dilussional. They do not need to satisfy us. They just need to fix the issues that they are having. If you do not think the coaches are trying to increase pitching outings, increase batting averages, and cutting down on errors. Team chemistry is a hard thing to coach, it is not automatic. It is a yearly gamble. I coached High School sports (baseball and football) for 30 years. Chemistry is not easy with guys, cant imagine how hard it is with girls. I will also say this for all the ones that actually think Beth is going to be fired. It will not happen. We can not even fire and hire a new Basketball coach because of the money. Any softball coach that LSU would hire would come with an increase in money. It is not happening anytime soon.
re: I enjoyed our last two losses

Just seems like something different going on with the team. I hope they can bounce back and get all phases of the game going in the right direction.

I will say it, good game tonight. LSU vs ULL record 59-28. But you deserved the win tonight. Interesting to see the post season results for both teams....

Is Nate Yeske sick or something?

Is he traveling with team? I have not seen him on mound visits, have not seen him in the dugout. Did I miss something?

Kent state is a pretty good team. Vols will be ok.
re: Will Campbell getting manhandled hurts to watch

He is a dang rookie, he will grow and become better because of it. I love it when someone is setting at home eating chips criticizing a professional football ball player making millions of bucks. He is there you are not bottom line.......Get a freaking life.

That kid wants a ton of money, Not sure we are going to meet his numbers or get into the money war with other teams.

Yes must be a national issue. Down in SC as well.
re: NIL Athletes vs. Student Athletes - which would you rather watch? Thought experiment
Posted by lionscoach on 1/14/26 at 12:25 pm to Broadside Bob
Naturally I think most people long for the old ways. Kids played for the Name on the front not the name on the back. Sadly I think those days are gone.
I was really rooting for Clemson to keep it as close to the old ways, but they failed.Dabo just does not know they failed, yet.
There is a since of excitement every year about college football. This next year will not be any different. But in general I miss the old ways. I would much rather see the local kids playing for the local college that they dreamed about playing for their entire life. It just seemed to mean more.
The one thing that I think is truly funny is the amount of fans that claim to be done with it. They will be back. they will be following, talking trash, and following every pod cast.
I think two things can be true, we miss the good old days, but excited about the future.

Both WR and DB were engaged with each other. Do not get that call much.
Ole Miss Heck of a game
Posted by lionscoach on 1/8/26 at 10:35 pm
From a Tiger fan, OM you played very hard. Great year.
re: Miami is going to toss Ole miss around like a ragdoll
Posted by lionscoach on 1/7/26 at 5:05 pm to Lsu2B
Still hoping Ole Miss wins it all. They are still the SEC. They still throw a lot of hate our way but I still want them to bring home the championship. Good Luck OM. My fellow LSU fans I expect downvotes. It is ok. Lol
