State baseball game delayed till 7...thunder and lightening playing until then

We are regressing back to the mean. We are not as good as we looked last week but we are not as bad as we have looked tonight. We are somewhere in the middle. That is probably good enough to make the tournament.

Just don’t get swept this weekend and we will be fine

Dude we're missing our #1 starter on the road vs a top 10 team. If we can win 1/3, that's pretty good. Tomorrow and Saturday are the best odds of stealing one, particularly Saturday where pitching depth begins to favor us. Let's wait 2 more days and reevaluate the team then

Naw ... we really suck. No really good baseball team will ever be down 6-3 on the road in bottom of the 8th during the regular season. **

Dohm may be our number 1 but he is not a number 1 in this league. He would be a Sat/Sun guy on most staffs. And as I have always said, multiple times on this very board as well, win your home series and do not get swept on the road and you will be in the NCAA Tournament. We're fine. We can afford a sweep if it happens because you did not believe you were going to get 2 vs LSU. It would suck, but would not doom us.

I disagree. I think we're still figuring out our team to a degree and have found some answers but we're probably in our most difficult stretch of the season. At the same time missing Dohm hurts. But he will be back soon. We may very well have won tonight with him.

We have pitchers that have struggled who are performing better- Holcombe. Ligon, and Loftin and maybe even Pico will be available later. We need to use Logan Forsythe more too. All of those guys back plus Dohm will help out immensely. Evan Siary balled out tonight too.

Hines is starting to heat up and Dakota Jordan is a first round pick playing like it. We found the right lineup combination against LSU and went away from it- hopefully that is short lived.

So yes, this team is more than good enough to make the SEC Tournament and the regionals. I'm guessing we make a nice run the last half of the SEC season. But we'll see.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Anything can happen when you get into the pen. Gotta get the starters out ASAP in the SEC.

Runner on in the 7th down 4, and we let cupp hit. Do we even care?

We need the most offense possible right now to make a comeback. I don’t get it either.

[Bdawg]

Get this guy home and it’s a 2 run game!

[Bdawg]

DJ looked really bad there. Wish he was on for Hines with the oppo taco!!

Dakota bailing on every breaking ball......That's got to be corrected and quick......

[Saltydog]

A&M has a team that could win it all. I'm not saying they will but all the ingredients are there.

[msstate7]

Kohler and cupp have to hit better. I realize catcher will be a black hole, but there's no other option. If we're gonna make a run at the tourney this year, Kohler and cupp can't be black holes, and we can't go defense first on the left side

I'm not sure that Kohler is 100% back from his shoulder injury and I think it's affecting his hitting.

[Bdawg]

What’s the other 3b option?

[BeardoMSU]

Cool, Cupp...cool.

Yep. We need to bring him in late in games and move Mershon to second to replace Larry. And by late in games I mean no earlier than the 7th inning.

I think that would help Cupp out too because it would ease him in somewhat. He could still get an AB that way more than likely.

I agree. Let Cupp have all the midweek at bats at SS, cause he is the future. He just needs to get his bat going. You can platoon Larry and Mersh at 2B/DH during the midweek, but they both need to play come the wknd.

I think we are a good team and what Parker has done makes it even worse the last couple years on Foxhall. I would love to see what Parker could have done with Fristoe, Cade, and even Cerentola. The pitching is there as long as the bats stay hot. Now you’re gonna have games like tonight, we are playing one of the toughest schedules in the country as far as the SEC. Just have to survive and not get swept on the road and win our home series. We will surprise a good team on the road and take a series I believe. UF isn’t looking nearly as tough as we originally thought. They have struggled.
