re: Does Yeskie return next season?

Posted by lionscoach on 4/24/25 at 11:00 am

He will leave only if he is looking for something different. Jay Johnson loves the man and has had a professional relationship with him for a long time.

One bad game does not make a season, Things will get better

The SEC is a grind, this team is equipped to win it all. I admit we need to figure it out in a hurry. For those fans who a re ready to hang it up, please do. LSU is one of the best teams in the country, We will have ups and downs, so far every team has had these moments. Trust in the process. It is the the process that we have right now. Jay Johnson is one of the best coaches in the country. He is trying to take a bunch of kids that are still coming together, because of the current state of college athletics, and building something strong. In this college landscape this process is every year. Next year he starts over to put the best team on the field. Bear looked terrible at 3rd. We can all agree. But at least Jay Johnson had the balls to try something that could have potentially made us stronger. Give the man a chance to figure it out.
The criticism our pitching coach gets is just so ignorant. The man has a resume that is pretty dang good. Every time folks bash him because a kid can not throw a strike it just makes me think how stupid some of the fans are. We don't have a unlimited supply of pitchers, we have to work with what we have. If you think that Jay and Yeskie are not addressing these things daily you are crazy. We still have a lot of baseball to play. Kids need to step up and man up. Yeskie can not pitch for them.

re: Thoughts on Jay texting the team this morning?

Posted by lionscoach on 4/23/25 at 11:34 am

Jay Johnson is one of the best coaches in modern Baseball. The days of just screaming at kids and trying to get in their shite does not work with this generation. Someone here said sometimes silence is powerful. Most of us grew up where hurting someones feelings was not a big deal. It is not that way anymore. Coaches l get fired now for going postal on teams, kids walk because of it. Definitely not saying this is correct. Just saying we live in different times and coaches have to navigate the new generation of kids.

Jay Johnson gets a lot of criticism from the fans, myself included. But without a doubt the man is dedicated to the team and the LSU brand. Let him do what he does. Not one of knows what goes on behind closed doors with Jay and the team. I guarantee he has had some closed door sessions with individuals and has challenged them. That is his business not ours.

re: SEC Softball Standings - with 2 weekends remaining

Not bashing but, 2 time All American pitcher has a hard time throwing overhand. This has hurt LSU more than once this year.

re: Coastal Carolina just announced that all concessions will be free at home football games

My daughter just graduated from Coastal Carolina University. In the 4 years she was in college her and her group of friends went to two home games. Attendance is an issue at Coastal.

re: Main question is do our pitchers themselves trust Yeskie?

Posted by lionscoach on 3/30/25 at 12:19 pm

It does not matter if a pitch call was good or bad. The pitcher still has to hit the spot. The coach calls a pitch the player executes the pitch. It is really that simple. All this talk about wanting to hold coach accountable for something the player fails to do is just wrong. Why do you think a coach makes a kid bunt with 2 strikes when the failed to lay the first two pitches down? Because the coach is pissed the kid did not do his job. Some times lessons need to be learned. Young kids need to be developed, this takes time. SEC pitching and SEC hitting is next level. Some of these young pictures are not there, yet!!!

re: Benge is a poor pitcher

Posted by lionscoach on 3/27/25 at 8:55 pm

MSU is not being fooled by any pitch thrown. It is like our throwers have dead arms tonight.

re: Why are our players allowed to wear pink arm sleeves, batting gloves,etc?

Posted by lionscoach on 3/19/25 at 12:06 pm

Because they are coached by a very good coach and he is in charge a very good baseball program. I hate to brake it to us the fans, but LSU baseball could care less what we as fans think about how the program is run. Just freaking enjoy watching the games or go watch another program.

re: At what point is this on yeskie?

Posted by lionscoach on 3/4/25 at 8:27 pm

At some point the pitchers have to take on the responsibility. These kids get a lot of work on hitting spots. What kind of mental makeup they have is on them. I can see some pouting because they are not getting the innings they want and this just adds to the frustration we are seeing. Just my thoughts. Every kid in this program can throw strikes or they would not be at LSU.

re: To no one's surprise: Army disregarded physical fitness standards to hit recruitment goals

Rangers in the same class as the women have come out and confirmed that this happened. Re-testing, recovery from period cycle. Really sad that they let this happen. Someone needs to be held accountable...

Blow up the VA and the Social Security Admin and it’s a different story

People who are not doing their job correctly are being fired. Cuts must be made in many departments, this is a fact. I have worked with the VA. These mid level employees are not working they are getting paid to do almost nothing. After 10 or 15 years of working you do not deserve to get a paycheck, watching others work. "I paid my dues" should never exist. If you want to get paid do your work. A very simple concept.

re: Based On Trump's Discussion w/Maine's Gov., Let's See Who Here Disagrees w/Trump on.....

Posted by lionscoach on 2/21/25 at 2:47 pm

I agree with many. If someone want to identify, make the change, that is their business. By forcing yourself as a man to play on women/girls sports, or even being allowed in female spaces, you are forcing your business on other's. That is where I draw a line. Just play in your own league go to your own places made for you. We as people make decisions everyday not to be involved in others lives. I do not choose to hang out with drug dealers, rapists, murderers or accept their way of life.... I have that right to make that choice. So why is it so important for me to be forced to accept a transgenders life. They made a choice, I made a choice, just keep walking....

re: Heated exchange between Newsmax host and John Bolton

Posted by lionscoach on 1/18/25 at 11:34 am

Bolton is still butt hurt that Trump fired him in 2019. Just watching him in any interview you can still see the contempt he has for Trump.

I do not know much about Bolton. But I do know you do not try to backstab your boss. Based on my readings that is what happened. He pissed the wrong man off.

He is still trying to be relevant and he is not.

What? What a dumb statement. The coaches will put the best player/s on the field period. I coached HS football for over 20 years, not once did I put a starter on the field that did not win the job. But the evaluation continues all season. Some of you pea brains can not honestly think the things you spew on hear. You must need people to react to your stupid posts. Amazing...

re: Dabo Clemson Built on GOD's NIL...

Posted by lionscoach on 12/21/22 at 3:56 pm

Dabo is a good guy. I really think he is a Christian and practices Christian beliefs. At least what I know of him. But theses statements that he makes are constantly painting himself in a corner. " They day we start paying players I will be done" Yet he is still here. Now it would seem that he is saying the NIL is the Devil and Clemson will not deal with the NIL. I do know for a fact that he has players with NIL deals. He will play the NIL game are be fired in 3 years.

The only positive that I see in this is him trying to stand by his convictions. Convictions will get you fired in the long run. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out...
