What a great move putting Chester at second in the ninth. Hardin was lights out closing. But Hunter Hines was da weekend man.
You guys need to stop with ?win just one on bs?. We have tradition and we all need to act like we can win, at least now again.
Yes to this bunch with some huge stones. I think we are back being Mississippi State Baseball!
Love this weekend!
they make you want to just pull your hair out
I'm guilty of expecting 1 win. That's not my norm for State baseball. I expect Super Regional appearances more years than not, but this year I lowered the bar to just creep in a regional. This weekend has got me moving that bar back to where it's supposed to be. Outstanding series win.
It was a great weekend for sure, definitely played to the "state standard". But are we "back"? Maybe! 2 weeks ago we lost for an awful OM team. Let's see is Lemon can sustain this. If Hines can slug and Auger can throw, that completely changes the odds of a 3 game series. Go make a Superband then I'll feel ok saying we're "back". Lemo has hurt me too much to give in before thenQuote:

Dogs win again!
Great post Base! Looks like we have found a closer and a third starter. Auger hasn't been mentioned much but that guys gutsy performance helped us big time in winning this series! HAILSTATE!Quote:

hard to say on Auger. He sucked vs Auburn but the coaches trusted him and he proved why. Was Auburn a fluke? Was Vandy the fluke? Seems likely we have a 3rd starter, but I'm going to be cautions till another outing. I mean the coaches did try Siary first because they thought he'd be more likely to be good.Quote:

No regional host wants to face a State team with 3 starters
I hate Vandy baseball so much that when they lose (especially to us), it gives me the same pleasure as when Bama loses in football, UK loses in basketball or Ole Miss loses in anything.
Good post. Auger actually wasnt bad against auburn just ran out of gas after 3 probably because he isn't really stretched out yet. He gave up 1 hit and was pitching well but he just hit that wall, his stuff was good though and his stuff was excellent yesterday as well. Now whether enough he can give us 5 innings every time is unknown but I think for sure he can give us at least 4 which is more than we were getting before him. Hes promising in that 3 role let's hope it holds out and we'll have something. Crossed fingers on auger but he has the stuff to do it just have to see on the stamina. Once he hits that wall though and you can see it becaue his command goes, go get him now and don't wait until he gives up a crooked number like they did against auburn.Quote:
