    Since ED was down for the game Yesterday.

    Let's talk about Gary Henderson...
    What was he thinking bringing Cole Gordon in to pitch and then leaving him out there like he did?

    We should be more upset about his pitch calling. Throw a damn slider after you just threw one that got pulled for a homerun 40 feet foul. That pitch gets hammered 425 feet. I'm not going to say that I have as much experience calling pitches as he does, but I've called pitches in 7A high school ball and there's no way in hell that kid should have seen that same pitch.

    I was not happy with the pitch sequencing from the 6th on.

    I think we could come up with a 3 page thread on everything he does wrong. Haha!

    What grips me is the only high fast ball we throw is one the catcher is standing up for before it is thrown and no one one God's green earth would swing at.

    Is Henderson still a candidate for the head job?

    I think his biggest problem is he has worse roster management skills than Dan Mullen.

    I'm filing playing Cole Gordon and pretty much any of the JUCO outfielders as poor roster management.

    It makes zero sense as far as who he decides to play. Especially since we have better options in Keegan James and Blake Smith.

    Henderson is as much to blame for this season as Cann is.

    Mission accomplished. He makes Snitker seem like Tony Larussa.

    He should've been brought in to replace JB.

    The only thing that would give me pause about that is the fact that Bake Smith is coming off of Tommy John. So, honestly if it were me I would have brought Keegan James or Neff in and then gone to Smith in the 9th. Either way I wouldn't have gone with Cole Gordon.

    I don't know how anybody could support bringing him in.

    I wouldn't go with Cole Gordon again in any of the upcoming SEC games. Keep him midweek

    How did we get to Cole Gordon pitching in the SEC?

    (1) Ashcraft bad hip
    (2) Self has a shoulder
    (3) Hughes never the same after TJ
    (4) Ford did not recover from TJ
    (5) Breaux is still in TJ recovery
    (6) Padgett not the same after TJ
    (7) Price is a current TJ
    (8) Cyr decided to party in Kansas
    (9) plumlee was taking some form of PEDs that probably didn't work
    (10) Barton was a bust
    (11) James is still in TJ recovery
    (12) Mangum doesn't want to pitch anymore

    That's how we end up with Cole Gordon even being a pitcher at MSU
