Aces game 3

[parabrave]

CJ starts off with a walk. Then he forces 2 pop ups and a K/.

[parabrave]

going to the BTM of the 1st

[DownwardDawg]

Thanks for the thread!!

[DownwardDawg]

I really like Mershon.

[parabrave]

And Dakota makes it 4 in a row. Also Mershon keeps his streak alive, 2-0

[DawgFromOxford]

Jordan with another bomb

[parabrave]

Hey it's the catcher from Major League 2 Rube/

[parabrave]

and Husjack with a dinger 5-0

[DawgFromOxford]

Hujask with a 3 run bomb

[Commercecomet24]

Last 10 games Hujsak is hitting 480

[Realist]

Can't find the game among the 40 or so games listed on ESPN. Has happened before on Sunday. Is this ESPN+ and not sec+?

[parabrave]

Whoops 5-3 now.

[Commercecomet24]

That freaking bad call on the hbp last inning cost us runs and now they're right back in it. Geez

[parabrave]

Well he gets out of it. 5-3 BTM 4, 66 pitches.

[parabrave]

That freaking bad call on the hbp last inning cost us runs and now they're right back in it. Geez

yep. Even Ron complained about it,.

[parabrave]

Ok AL time for a hit. Nope/ Cupp to 3rd on a throwing error. Get him in Mer.

[parabrave]

Mershon with the hit RBI. 6=3

[parabrave]

Hujsack having a good game.

[Commercecomet24]

I like the way we're playing. We're kinda getting our scrappiness back

[Leroy Jenkins]

Sometimes hitting really is contagious.

[parabrave]

Larry with the 2 run single. What I like is Kohler saving a throw from going past him.

[Commercecomet24]

Looks like Downs is taking over left field

[parabrave]

What is the target pitch count for these guys? he is at 81 going into the 6th. Ron says he is going to 100.

[Coach34]

Should be right around 100

[parabrave]

Wow we got a 2nd baseman

[maroonmania]

Really nice play by Mershon to end the Aces in the 6th.

[Commercecomet24]

What is the target pitch count for these guys? he is at 81 going into the 6th. Ron says he is going to 100.

90-100 beginning to stretch em out for conference play.

[parabrave]

Cam S warming up.

[parabrave]

Kohler is a Billy Beane dream. 3 runs w/o a hit.

[parabrave]

Cupp having a great game.

[parabrave]

Max Miller on the mound. 1st app this year.

[parabrave]

Well that was quick. Did he hurt something??

[maroonmania]

Max Miller? Has he pitched before? 4 straight balls from him with 3 in the dirt.

[maroonmania]

Well that was quick. Did he hurt something??

He definitely didn't hurt the strike zone.***

[parabrave]

He definitely didn't hurt the strike zone.***

Ha. It;s just Parker was out there real quick. I know CS was warming up. We also got us a 3rd baseman,

[Commercecomet24]

Where's Bucky been?

[Leroy Jenkins]

No way Alford makes those plays.

[Commercecomet24]

Ha. It;s just Parker was out there real quick. I know CS was warming up. We also got us a 3rd baseman,

The whole infield has been tight as heck! Nothing gets through!

[parabrave]

The whole infield has been tight as heck! Nothing gets through!

With Kohler doing his best Chipper impression. Can't wait to see him Tuesday.

[PMDawg]

Man, what is the deal with Hines? Time to get him out of the middle of the lineup.

[maroonmania]

Justin Parker really doing work with this staff. I know we are yet to hit the SEC schedule but last year our pitching looked like crap against everyone. Outside of Holcombe almost every pitcher we have looks better locating and throwing strikes.

[Commercecomet24]

I hear ya! Kohler is smooth as silk!

[Saltydog]

Man, what is the deal with Hines? Time to get him out of the middle of the lineup.

He couldn't hit a curve if you told him it was coming......Plus they're playing the shift on him and he's a dead pull hitter.....

Yes sir! Man is earning his paycheck!

[Cowbell]

Where's Bucky been?

I been wondering the same

[parabrave]

So is the fielding coach/

[parabrave]

You can B and C all you want to about the SOS so far but it has been good for us with a new PC and our fielding. It will workout in the long run.

[Todd4State]

Team is starting to come together boys. Longest win streak since 2021. Gautreau is getting them to adjust at the plate. Wish he would do it four weeks sooner but it is what it is. Good to see Schuelke perform well.

Oh and RPI is up to 110 as I type this. As I said- SEC games matter more.

[Todd4State]

Yep. And we have a good test on Tuesday with a solid South Alabama team.

[parabrave]

Where's Bucky been?

Having a circle jerk with Rocky while waiting for the MBK tourney.

[Todd4State]

And as far as our won/loss record we have one loss with Mershon and Kohler in the lineup.

[Homedawg]

Nothing to bitch about. He'll be back once we lose a few. Baseball guru and #itsneverwillsfualt

Dam are you saying 34 was right???

[basedog]

Glad and happy to see this winning streak. It's exactly what we needed. Impressed with new pitching coach. Pitching and defense been solid.

[State82]

Well that was quick. Did he hurt something??

His pride maybe. Hope that is all.

[Coach34]

Getting Rally Killa out of the 5 hole the last 2 days had made the offense better

[WSOPdawg]

You can win a lot of games with solid pitching and defense. The outlook now is much better than 3 weeks ago.

[BeardoMSU]

Word.

[DownwardDawg]

Yes. We'll have a chance in every game due to this.

[Commercecomet24]

Dang skippy! The lineup is much deeper now.

Starting to see us get some of our scrappiness back. Amazing what good pitching and defense can do!

[Saltydog]

Glad to see Downs getting some pt and performing well, I know he was highly regarded coming in but just couldn't break thru in the lineup. He's much better defensively than I thought too.

[Todd4State]

Starting to see us get some of our scrappiness back. Amazing what good pitching and defense can do!

Absolutely! That's Mississippi State baseball! Winning baseball still wins games. We got away from that the last two years and it felt like I was watching a college travel ball team.

That's what I loved about Cohen when he was here. You knew we had talent but that talent was going to play hard.

[No BS Dawg]

I?ve been up every weekend for the games and this team is much different now than it was the first three weekends, in several very good ways. This coming weekend, weather permitting, will be an indicator of where we are, but things are much better now than they were. We are starting to look a little like a scrappy bunch of dirtbags we associate with MSU baseball.

I love what I'm seeing from the lineup. The guys are battling and scrapping and our approach at the plate(outside of Hines) has changed dramatically. Much more patient at the plate and hitters trying to stay inside the ball and not pull everything. Notice Hujsak even choking up with 2 strikes(something you never see anymore). Getting Mershon and Kohler back and if Downs can keep producing really gives us quite a bit of depth to the order. I've really noticed a lot of guys playing more like our dirtbags of old. Our 2 catchers are gamers and leaders, Mershon is the heartbeat of this team and we're totally different with him in the lineup, Jordan is showing leadership and fire, Hujsak bust his a** out of the box every single time and is on fire, Cupp is great on defense and is showing signs of being a perfect 9 hole hitter. The whole team just seems to be more scrappy and fiery than the last 2 years, seeing a lot of heart. We've even comeback and won some games from behind that the last 2 years would've wound up as blowouts. Can't say enough about how different the pitching has been. Yeah I know people say look at who we've played but I'm seeing things I didn't see the last 2 years. Of course time will tell as always when you get to the meat of the schedule. You know the saying in mlb, "Everyone is a world series contender in spring training", lol, but there is cause for some cautious optimism.
