    Baseball at Msu is on fire!

    Is this just unbelievable to how "good" our baseball team has been from last year to this year so for?
    Cann has instilled a whole new attitude with a bunch of guys that never give up and seem to be enjoying the moment and the games! Damn it's fun to watch and I believe it's gonna get better after recruiting a few years!

    They just find a way to win. Very proud of the team's effort and results!

    Folks. This has been BAD baseball for 5 straight games. Yes , we are 3-2 over this period but horrible baseball is being played. The USA game was an embarrassment and Bama is as bad a team ever in the SEC. Bama should not have been in a game but walks and our inability to put the ball in play with runners on the path allowed Bama to hang around. The bright spot is we got the sweep , the bad part is we could have been swept

    I agree we aren't playing well right now, but winning while not playing our best is a great sign of where our program is. 1 of those losses was to a very good team desperate to not be swept

    You know, it's baseball, things like this happen all the time. You call it bad baseball, I call it winning! Baseball isn't about a beauty contest, winners find ways to win while losers ..... well they just lose.

    There is nothing bad about winning and everything bad about losing!

    So....would you prefer to be swept playing your best ball? Only MSU fans can bitch about winning.

    Think about this, 20 of 28 games we have come from behind, that is a team that never gives up. also 3 sweeps! I see nothing ugly about winning and never have, but I don't look back and play the "what we should do!, it's always the next play and the next game going forward!

    34-13 in the Sec since last March, think about that?

    A win is a W. It doesn't say that it was a good win, bad win, ugly win or whatever. For your information though, Bama has lost some close games. They are not some high school team. I don't care how our team pulls out a win. It is still A W. Amazing that we pull out an SEC sweep, and somebody thinks we should have done better or done something different. Enjoy the sweep.

    This team has no business being 13-5 in the SEC. If you're concerned that we don't generally look like a great team, then don't be. We're not. Which is why what we're doing is so unbelievable. Just enjoy it.

    We haven't been very sharp since the Kentucky series and yet we've still positioned ourselves to be tied for first in the SEC as a worst case scenario at the end of this weekend. You call it BAD baseball, I call it finding a way to win when you aren't at your best. Which, in a way, is good baseball.

    For me, the 20 comebacks are the most remarkable accomplishments of this team...they have done it against good teams like Texas Tech, Kentucky, and @ Ole Miss... not mention we are literally playing sandlot baseball with Gordon, Mangum, and Blaylock pitching in conference games

    Like any other sport, when you aren't playing that well and you are still able to get the W, that is like living to fight another day. We just have to hope Rooker gets hot again and the rest of the team continues to hit. And we need to get things cleaned up and just start playing better.

    The thing that I'm happiest about is the scrappiness and intensity we play with. This isn't the most talented team by any stretch of the imagination, but they get it done.

    Cannizaro should get a lot of milage out of what he has done with this team under our circumstances. It should help even more with recruiting.

    There are no style points in baseball, only wins and losses.

    Don't want to be misunderstood, I'm elated where we are record wise. I just know, if we don't start doing some little things better, we can go on a big time losing streak. We have got to throw strikes and stop walking so many batters. Bama was up 5-0 with only 3 hits. When we have people in scoring position, especially 3rd , with less than 2 outs we have have to put the ball in play. Mangum's injured hand has been a major blow. We miss his 3 innings on the hill . Every time he throws the ball in, you see the grimace on his face. His ability to throw out a runner will be tested. Changing the subject, how do we pitch 9 innings this Tuesday night?

    Finding a way to win IS playing great baseball.

    Just think what this team would look like if we had those 7 pitchers healthy.

    At the beginning of the year we lost 4-5 games in the late innings. Now, we've flipped the script and winning these types of games. This team is learning how to win. It's not going to be a blowout where Rooker does Rooker-like things. This team is scrappy and forces the issue on the bases. Love this type of baseball.
    Happy Festivus
