Wednesday baseball - UNO game thread

[somebodyshotmypaw]

First pitch at 5:00 PM.

Nolan Stevens will start in leftfield.

[parabrave]

Hardin starting. Gave up a triple and Kohler gets him out of the 1st. Hines batting cleanup still and Stevens 6th, Hujsack now 5th. Hey Lemon what pics does HH have on you.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Stevens makes sense in leftfield. The UNO pitcher is a righthander. Stevens gives us a lefthanded bat in the lineup. Downs and Chance are both righthanded and neither are setting the woods on fire anyway. Stevens pitched yesterday, so he probably wouldn't pitch any today anyway. But I guess he could come in from the field to the mound (example Pete Young, Mitch Moreland, CT Bradford, and many more), although I would be shocked if that happens today. Stevens needs an opportunity.

[bigbub50]

We need someone else but Hines currently in clean up, I agree. But we have no one else with any power to strike fear in opposing teams.

He must be killing it in practice and BP?!?

[parabrave]

Ligon in for Hardin. Why the hell not. And hitless in 2. Guess a 2 game losing streak is great going into the meat of the year.

Ummm... Bobby Thigpen is now in the same boat as Mary Ann and the Professor?

[parabrave]

Anyone else hear what Jim said about Ligon?

[CaptainObvious]

Apparently Ligonaires Disease is free bases to leadoff guys.

[msstate7]

I keep hoping that we will hit, but I guess we just can't

[parabrave]

OK HH time to shut us up. A long pop fly will do. JHFChist son all you have to do is get the dam ball in the fing air

[KOdawg1]

Hines is playing terrible

[parabrave]

Apparently this team doesn't understand the concept of situational hitting,

[Ranchdawg]

I mean really Hunter. Just stand there don?t swing and we would be better. Bases loaded 1 out and Hunter grounds into a double play. Sheesh!

Edited to say he’s been in this program for 3 years and he’s hitting like this. Gottro can you coach hitters. Serious question.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

The coach is the one putting him in the cleanup spot

[HoopsDawg]

This tv coverage is horrible. Why can't they sync up the video?

[parabrave]

So you don't put you shoe through your TV

[parabrave]

Not only can he pitch

[HoopsDawg]

Stevens crushed that pitch. I got to see the start of his swing, then it panned to the ball flying over the fence.

[BeardoMSU]

He must be killing it in practice and BP?!?

Maybe that's a directive from Keenum...I remember Mullen also talking a lot about practice.****

[BeardoMSU]

I'm convinced the camera operators are barely awake toddlers....

[HoopsDawg]

Seems Stevens at DH and Larry in LF would be better.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Ummm... Bobby Thigpen is now in the same boat as Mary Ann and the Professor?

Who is Bobby Thigpen? I?ve never heard of him. ***

[EdwardDrayton]

Evenin' fellas. Tuning in a bit late but good to be with y'all for some midweek baseball.

[WSOPdawg]

Seems Stevens at DH and Larry in LF would be better.

That's really asking a little too much from Lemonis... just sayin'.

[Turfdawg67]

I mean really Hunter. Just stand there don?t swing and we would be better. Bases loaded 1 out and Hunter grounds into a double play. Sheesh!

Edited to say he?s been in this program for 3 years and he?s hitting like this. Gottro can you coach hitters. Serious question.

Gottro... gotta go.

[BeardoMSU]

Gottro... gotta go.

I've never been impressed, tbh.

[Saltydog]

Evenin' fellas. Tuning in a bit late but good to be with y'all for some midweek baseball.

Glad you're back. . . . .

[parabrave]

Evenin' fellas. Tuning in a bit late but good to be with y'all for some midweek baseball.

You doing OK?

[EdwardDrayton]

Glad you're back. . . . .

Thanks Salty. Good to be back with y'all.

[EdwardDrayton]

You doing OK?

I'll find a way through; just going to take some time. Have always been a huge State baseball fan so it's comforting to have these games to watch. It's a thinking man's game and so is a very nice distraction.

[Turfdawg67]

I've never been impressed, tbh.

Me neither. I soured on him in 2018, lolz!

[Coach34]

If this Big SOB could get some confidence it would help us so much. 3.2 good innings so far

[Coach34]

WTF? We just PH Trout for Stevens vs a Righty

[Coach34]

and got a weak grounder to 1st....FU Lemon

[Mjoelner34]

WTF? We just PH Trout for Stevens (who has our only run) vs a Righty

FIFY. Made it even worse.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

If this Big SOB could get some confidence it would help us so much. 3.2 good innings so far

I agree. The board has been trashing Holcombe, and many wanted us to give up on him. But the truth is that we need him to be effective. An effective Holcombe makes us a much better team. We need him to figure it out and help us. Hopefully tonight is a big step toward that.

[Coach34]

FIFY. Made it even worse.

I'll take "Ways to lose your million dolla job for $800 Alex"

[magrooder]

If you're gonna pinch hit, why not do it with Cupp? I don't get it.

[Saltydog]

I'm glad to finally see the improvement.

[Saltydog]

Cupp has been better offensively as of late but he's going to be lucky to bat .200 in league play.

[Mjoelner34]

Wow! That was MSU-level dumbassedry on the basepath!

[EdwardDrayton]

Schuelke's arm slot is Dante's Seventh Circle of Hell.

[preachermatt83]

Someone explain why the crap two nights in a row we don’t steal with Larry in that spot. Larry should be at 3b right freaking now. We are not coached well. At all

[magrooder]

Somebody tell Lemonis he doesn't have to make sure everybody plays tonight.

[EdwardDrayton]

Friends in Low Places and Crazy Train. There's two ends of the music continuum.

[Activated Alpha]

21 innings and we can only score 6 damn runs against shitty non-conference pitching? We are in big big trouble. LSU is going to go in dry on Lemonis

[preachermatt83]

Freaking bunt

[EdwardDrayton]

Gosh you just gotta love college baseball.

[magrooder]

Ball game. Dawgs win

[EdwardDrayton]

Walk ..... it ........ off.

[DawgFromOxford]

Well winning is better than losing so I?m glad to have this one but call me less than inspired as we head into SEC play

[msstate7]

Our offense is a problem, but a good win

[EdwardDrayton]

This one's for you Carol Jane. Know you're smiling right along with me. Night fellas. See ya' this weekend.

[Turfdawg67]

Our offense is a problem, but a good win

It's pathetic right now, but yes winning is always better than losing...

[HoopsDawg]

Our offense is a problem, but a good win

To me, I would play Mershon at SS, Larry at 2B, Downs in LF, and DH Stevens. It only makes us slightly worse defensively.

[Saltydog]

I've been saying this for two weeks now....Cupp will bat .200 or less in league play...

[Bdawg]

To me, I would play Mershon at SS, Larry at 2B, Downs in LF, and DH Stevens. It only makes us slightly worse defensively.

I like it. Put the best damn hitting line up possible out there as long as defense doesn’t start suffering too much

[CaptainObvious]

Have we had a SS who didn't bat 9th since Westburg?

[Lord McBuckethead]

We will win 5 mercy games in SEC play. Our boys have trouble hitting essentially what I could throw up there.

[Todd4State]

The best thing about Biloxi that no one is talking about- Loftin, Ligon, and Holcombe were outstanding.
