We really really don't have any pitching depth

[engie]

I'll let you have your "no ****" diatribe that has nothing at all to do with anything I said -- and actually works against your point given the 25% career number vs the 40ish% ONE YEAR number. My "long line of pure BS statements" is a funny one given my easily-referenced track record of baseball prognostication.

My point is it looks like the 2015 signing class had some bad arms in it. If it was Wes Johnson hurting kids, why didn't we see any SO or JR go down to TJ?

I would be more willing to point the finger at Wes Johnson if MSU saw injuries up and down the roster last year.

If it's just happenstance, surely you could show me a couple other situations of any guy nationally -- in history -- being directly tied to a similar number of arm surgeries in any reasonably similar period of time. He's had his hands on a career worth of arm injuries in less than 2 years. If that's a coincidence -- it's one without equal.

Older kids can withstand things better, especially with builds like Hudson, Sexton, Brown and Houston. Tatum did end up sucking after a couple of good years, wouldn't be surprised if he had some arm problems because he got rocked last year.

Then Smith (senior), Breaux and James going down? Hard to say it was one class. Especially when Butch helped recruit that class.

Seriously?
If he has one, maybe two, more arms let go -- he will never coach anywhere in college baseball again including at Arkansas.

No, read your post. You said he will NEVER coach ANYWHERE including Arkansas 'if' they have "one, maybe two more arms let go." I contend that the statement is pure BS and will NOT happen.

And, yes. it's just like your "FSU wants him (Dameyune Craig) back and Auburn wants him back" posts back in Feb .. has zero basis in reality.

Again, if the hogs have another TJ and they fire Wes, I will be the 'first' to come back and post publically that I was wrong.

Whatever Wes was doing, it put enough strain on our elbows that it resulted in a pile TJ's. There is no gray area with this discussion.

Ah -- so my conjecture is "pure bs and will not happen" -- what is yours? Johnson has blown out more arms in the past year and a half than Russ McNickle did in his career at MSU. Let that sink in. The reputation is quickly following him and he's very close to losing his ability to recruit pitchers period.

And, yes. it's just like your "FSU wants him (Dameyune Craig) back and Auburn wants him back" posts back in Feb .. has zero basis in reality.

Good thing he coaches baseball. And it's interesting that you bring up that thread -- since I'm still waiting on your links to back your claim of his FSU and Auburn firings --- in the thread you mention that I casually provided 7 links to hundreds of opinions -- to your zero links to zero opinion without even finding any fan speculation.

Again, if the hogs have another TJ and they fire Wes, I will be the 'first' to come back and post publically that I was wrong.

Yet in the thread which was your previous mention -- you made stuff up -- was called on it -- and casually disappeared without answering the bell. But I'm sure you are the first one to wear it when you get something wrong**

Look. I worked in NW Arkansas last week and had the opportunity to listen to all of 3/5 Arkansas game and part of their Mid week game. The announcers did they have 2 pitchers shelved for the year, one scheduled for TJ surgery. They said 2 more pitchers are out, one indefinitely, due to arm soreness. One of them was a stud Freshmen last year and is out for the year.

Coincidence? Maybe. Highly unlikely.

And McNickle screwed our staff up too when he was here.
