state vs. the state that is not a state baseball

[CaptainObvious]

Eichelberger for JSU hits one so high and far it should have had Stewardesses in it!

2-0 JSU.

[CaptainObvious]

Lefthanders continue to trouble Dog Batters with their slow breaking balls. Hines spanks one back to the pitcher for out #3.

2-0 Tigers after 1.

[Offshore Dawg]

can Holcombe just throw batting practice??

[MoreCowbell]

Is JSU all black?

[CaptainObvious]

Not sure at what point you decide Holcombe is a wild child on the mound.

[Offshore Dawg]

Is JSU all black?
don't need a fieldgoal kicker on the baseball team.

[CaptainObvious]

Is JSU all black?

No. Their uniforms are blue jerseys with gray pants

[CaptainObvious]

Holcombe goes 1.1 innings against JSU and leaves with bases loaded

[NotBFW]

Holcombe is garbage

[Mjoelner34]

Hopefully that's the end of that experiment.

[CaptainObvious]

can Holcombe just throw batting practice??

He does. Against the opponents during the game.

[CaptainObvious]

Nolan Steven's gets the short straw to clean up the mess.

[CaptainObvious]

Note: JSU lost to Valley 7-3.

But they have found pitching they like from the Bulldog Mound Clowns.

[ZedFedder]

To be fair they also put up 22 on Valley.

5-0 JSU.

NOT GOOD CLARK

[Offshore Dawg]

This is starting to suck mule dick.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Maybe getting embarrassed today will be the push we need to get rid of Lemonis.

[NotBFW]

Holcombe might be the worst player I’ve ever seen

[CaptainObvious]

Eichelberger gets his 20th hit in 28 at bats on the season to increase JSU lead to 5-0.

[ZedFedder]

On another note, let?s get Eichelberger a nice NIL deal.

[redstickdawg]

Maybe getting embarrassed today will be the push we need to get rid of Lemonis.

This should happen regardless of the final score. To be getting kicked like this routinely shows a total lack of leadership, how in the world do we not come out on fire after this past weekend?

[CaptainObvious]

To be fair they also put up 22 on Valley.

5-0 JSU.

NOT GOOD CLARK

Which makes their loss to Valley even more embarrassing. Yet, against our valley level pitching they are up 5-0. After 2 at bats. Eichelberger is 2 for 2 with a Homer and 4 RBIs in 2 ABs. He must have been obscure in high school.

[NotBFW]

87 down the middle and we’re taking the 1st pitch

[CaptainObvious]

State batters have mastered the ground ball to the infield position players. 3 up and down for the hot hitting Puppies!

[Offshore Dawg]

How much did JSU get paid to come kick some dawg ass.

[CaptainObvious]

Lemonis has to know this is his Swan Zone. He got a nice paid vacation the past three years sitting on the bucket and will now get a nice parting gift of a few million after throwing gas in the dumpster and lighting a match to it.

[CaptainObvious]

Tigers go 3 up and down in the 3rd.

[Cowbell]

Maybe getting embarrassed today will be the push we need to get rid of Lemonis.

And all the people said....

[StarkVegasSteve]

This should happen regardless of the final score. To be getting kicked like this routinely shows a total lack of leadership, how in the world do we not come out on fire after this past weekend?

Because for 3 years these players, no matter how they have played, have been told how cool they were and how amazing they were at baseball by a group of weird ass adults that cannot seem to grow up. We have a certain subset of fans in their 50s-60s that hang out with the players and their girlfriends and buy every meal and drink for them multiple times A WEEK. It is weird and it needs to stop. The 2016 group lived and breathed baseball, except for the Freshman class and that is where this sense of entitlement began. The 2021 team was bad about it too but they just had some alphas who would not let the team fail. As much as I hate to say it, when Cohen walked out of the dugout the entitlement really went up among our baseball players.

Logan Tanner was the embodiment of that mentality

[DawgFromOxford]

Thanks to a tight strike zone we're now back to even. 5-5 with a pitching change coming for JSU

[StarkVegasSteve]

Logan Tanner was the embodiment of that mentality

He was not even close to the worst one. A can list AT LEAST 10 who were WAY worse. A couple of them are on this damn team.

[MoreCowbell]

On another note, let?s get Eichelberger a nice NIL deal.

Forrealll

[Johnson85]

On another note, let?s get Eichelberger a nice NIL deal.

You want to do that based on how he is destroying our pitching or Valley's? Surely Valley's, right?

[bigbub50]

Lemon is pissed. Good!

[ScoobaDawg]

Bahaha someone wanna mention the score? Damn yall got quiet.

[DawgFromOxford]

MSU now leading 13-6. Bradley Loftin in to pitch at the top of 5.

Dakota Jordan just missed robbing a home run. Ball bounced out of his glove as he collided with the wall

[bigbub50]

I know Loftin has given up a cpl hits, but that change up is elite. We need him healthy.

[Coach34]

15-6 now. Good to see Loftin get some work. Need him logging innings

[basedog]

No one should be surprised. I hope we continue and after Sunday we should be 8-4.

[Saltydog]

Croach say scouts love him.......

[Coach34]

Croach say scouts love him.......

I didn’t rank him in the top 100- scouts did

[Commercecomet24]

Logan Tanner was the embodiment of that mentality

You are 100% wrong on that Bucky. That kid played with an ankle the size of a water melon just about his entire last year, because he knew the team was struggling and wanted help. He was hurting and went out there and caught everyday. I wish players in ALL our teams had that mentality. Sorry buddy but you're dead wrong about Logan.

[Saltydog]

I didn?t rank him in the top 100- scouts did

I wouldn't want those guys scouting for my team. Hell, his ERA is higher than giraffe pu$$y.....

[Todd4State]

Our fans bashing a guy that was a first round pick I believe and had some of the biggest home runs in school history and is arguably the best catcher we've ever had is an interesting pick.

That is something odd I have noticed about some of our hardcore MSU fans that live in Starkville. I always thought it was small town stuff. It comes off as very odd. Imagine you are a baseball player and you're at the grocery store or Wal Mart and some random person comes up to you and invites you over to their house for dinner AND THEY'RE SERIOUS. That would seriously creep me out. I mean- an autograph and a picture is already kind of borderline but understandable.

I'm pretty sure that kind of thing doesn't happen in MLB cities.

Pretty sure that has been going on awhile in Starkville but probably got way worse because of the success of the team from 2016-2021. Similar stuff happened with the women's basketball team when they were going to the NC game and beating UConn.

And I've some crazy stories about when Dak was in college. So I'm not sure that this is totally exclusive to baseball.
