Game 3 Thread vs Texas A&M

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Same lineup with Cupp on the bench. But Kohler drops to 8th and Chance moves up to 7th

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Larry
Mershon
Dakota
Hines
Hujsack
Downs
Chance
Kohler
Long

Jurrangelo on the bump

[Santiago]

Do we see Stevens get into the lineup more often.

[Coach34]

Please lord make it make f'ing sense. If they are throwing a RHP its just damn stupid

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Please lord make it make f'ing sense. If they are throwing a RHP its just damn stupid

If they were throwing a right hander, I would DH Nolan Stevens

[somebodyshotmypaw]

A&M is throwing a lefty

[Coach34]

ok- I can live with that vs LHP

[parabrave]

Well it sounds like Blue has a generous strike zone/

[msstate7]

He has 23 pitches thru 2 innings with 4 k. That's unbelievable. Looks like we blew our wad last night

[somebodyshotmypaw]

1-0 bad guys after 2 innings

[msstate7]

Lo looking good

[msstate7]

91 mph fastballs down the middle..: what are we looking for?

[msstate7]

Even on that fastball he hit well, he was late. Stop looking offspeed, apparently bc the fastball is killing us

[parabrave]

Dam that pitcher is dealing it.

[msstate7]

91 mph fastballs over and over and over. This guy must have some major extension bc we are getting destroyed by low 90s fastballs

[msstate7]

Man, umps should be fired for calls like that

[DownwardDawg]

Lol. That last pitch almost hit him.

[bigbub50]

The strike zone this weekend has been exotic. That last one to our catcher was horrible.

[Commercecomet24]

This dude behind the plate is awful. Holy crap!

[msstate7]

I have to believe we are gonna get this guy 2nd time thru.

[msstate7]

This lefty had big k numbers entering the game, so this is no fluke. I guess I get locked into the pro game bc it is just wild to me to see a guy mowing down a lineup with 91.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Just pitiful.

What does it cost for a baseball team to travel (flights, rooms, meals) is it 100k?
All that just to have incompetence decide the outcome.

[msstate7]

That's a strike, Larry. Swing

[somebodyshotmypaw]

This is difficult to type, but I would be more comfortable doing the Hotty Toddy chant than I would all of these A&M songs, chants, cheers, and rituals.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Gotta get some base runners to break this guys rhythm.

[msstate7]

We gonna have to drop a bunt or something. Gotta get this guy uncomfortable

[Commercecomet24]

Im having flashbacks to Eric Gregg

[msstate7]

Finally not late on 91 this inning

[somebodyshotmypaw]

This guy has 52 pitches through 4 innings

[parabrave]

Let me rephrase my earlier comment. He has a very very generous strikezone est the inside corner.

[msstate7]

Why is lemonis still in this game?

[Commercecomet24]

This kids good but he's benefitting from a little league strike zone

[parabrave]

Im having flashbacks to Eric Gregg

Rep.

[Commercecomet24]

Why is lemonis still in this game?

Good question I'd be gone already

[msstate7]

This guy has 52 pitches through 4 innings

This is a combo of us and the ref being horrible. This pitcher isn't even mixing it up... he's pouring hitting speed fastballs in the zone and we can't catch up

[msstate7]

Good question I'd be gone already

He's gonna let us lose if he don't throw a damn fit

[SaintDawg]

Dakota had some words with ump on that one. Rightly so.

[bigbub50]

Next one, I expect lemon to get tossed. It’s been bad.

[msstate7]

Jordan is a DH

[Ranchdawg]

I mean really why not just call everything a strike. Ray Charles ump!

[msstate7]

If that's a double, the scorer is worse than the ump

[parabrave]

Maybe we should pound the inside and see if we get the same calls.

[Commercecomet24]

If that's a double, the scorer is worst the than ump

100%. That's an error

[Bdawg]

I’ve watched this ump one inning and my goodness how does he have this job?

[parabrave]

Well that conference didn't go over that well.

[Commercecomet24]

I miss Bart and Charlie these announcers suck

[msstate7]

Lo has to work on endurance or he may just be a really good 3-inning reliever. He really struggles to give us 5 innings

[parabrave]

Well get the BP up.

[parabrave]

I miss Bart and Charlie these announcers suck

Just mute and tune in WFCA and listen to Ron and Jim.

[msstate7]

Get pen going or this will be over soon

[Bdawg]

Maybe we should pound the inside and see if we get the same calls.

Except on Montgomery

[msstate7]

Well get the BP up.

It should be up after the 3rd every lo start. May just be we can't let teams see him twice

[Saltydog]

So much for having the best Sunday starter in the league. Their guy mowing us down.

[Activated Alpha]

I feel partially responsible. I haven?t watched a game this series and just tuned in to see the bottom of the fourth only for lo to give up three straight rips

[Ranchdawg]

They are going on and on about having 7000 fans. We had twice that many last Saturday and we have way less population with in 1.5hours from our campus. These announcers are bush league.

[parabrave]

That was a long half inning.

[mparkerfd20]

Well I guess winning 1 was ok. Not what I wanted but we ain't winning today.

[msstate7]

That was a long half inning.

That should be it for him. I'd start pen next inning

[msstate7]

Well I guess winning 1 was ok. Not what I wanted but we ain't winning today.

Doesn't look right now. You right - winning 1 was huge and we did what we had to this weekend

[parabrave]

Good hit HH/

[Coach34]

Lo has to work on endurance or he may just be a really good 3-inning reliever. He really struggles to give us 5 innings

His endurance is fine. He was throwing 97 in the 6th the other day. He needs to locate better

[msstate7]

His endurance is fine. He was throwing 97 in the 6th the other day. He needs to locate better


Looks like to me his location is pretty good early and then after about 50-60 pitches he has an uptick in velocity but loss of location - like he's throwing harder. To me that seems like he's getting tired and overthrowing trying to keep velocity up.

[parabrave]

That should be it for him. I'd start pen next inning

Well with the BTM of the order coming up in the 6th they will at least get 6 out of this guy.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

This pitcher reminds me of Steve Avery of the Braves in the early 90’s

[parabrave]

Well crap.

[Bdawg]

Just too much plate

[msstate7]

That should be it for him. I'd start pen next inning

^^^

[msstate7]

Lo looks like a reliever. 1st time through, he's great. After that, not so

[parabrave]

Walk this guy.

[msstate7]

Are we waiting to see a 200 mph exit velocity to pull him? WTF? He was done 20 pitches ago

[Bdawg]

Are we waiting to see a 200 mph exit velocity to pull him? WTF? He was done 20 pitches ago

Missing spots but not missing bats

[parabrave]

Lo looks like a reliever. 1st time through, he's great. After that, not so

Ear Pierce??

[msstate7]

This is basically game if they go extra base. Why are we not going lh reliever?

[parabrave]

Thankfully their guy fell asleep

[msstate7]

#17 for them should have to pick up garbage in the stands after the game. He let us off the hook

[Bdawg]

Maybe I should quit watching to start the comeback

[Ranchdawg]

I?m wondering if the camera angle from the outfield is so far off center that it makes those inside pitches to right hand batters look like balls instead of strikes?

[msstate7]

Hey Kohler, when you can't hit for crap, lay off the shoulder high fastballs and help your team by walking

[Offshore Dawg]

Can the equipment manager get Long some gloves that fit ??

[parabrave]

I?m wondering if the camera angle from the outfield is so far off center that it makes those inside pitches to right hand batters look like balls instead of strikes?

Ron said the inside zone is very generous.

[parabrave]

Hey Kohler, when you can't hit for crap, lay off the shoulder high fastballs and help your team by walking

I'll agree with you on that. Just get on base. Dam Lemon get him out of there.

[msstate7]

Our bats have been terrible today. 1 hit on a Sunday. Wow

[CaptainObvious]

"1 HIT! ONE GD HIT!!!"

Monty: "You can't say that on the air!"

"Aww Hell! Nobody is listening anyway!"

[CaptainObvious]

Nice 0-2 pitch by Lo!

[msstate7]

Lo was done in the 4th and we still
Using him?!!! What the f are our coaches doing

[msstate7]

Kohler, walk to the dug out, and never leave it again. You can't hit like you do and drop that ball

[msstate7]

This is on our coaches. If you take out lo after 4, it might still be 3-0

ETA... and it isnt hundsight, I called it live

[Commercecomet24]

No reason for Lo to have even gone back out.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Kohler costs us a run right there. He really needs to start hitting or we will need to look at replacing him, especially if he cannot make basic plays at 3B

[parabrave]

About time. He should've not even been out there for this inning.

[msstate7]

Our staff has to quit waiting for trouble on Sundays and expect it - have pen ready after 3rd or 4th.

[CaptainObvious]

We were trying to save pitching for tomorrow's game. ****

[Commercecomet24]

Kohler costs us a run right there. He really needs to start hitting or we will need to look at replacing him, especially if he cannot make basic plays at 3B

He's only made 2 errors all year and been great defensively. Yeah he's not hitting but saying he's not making basic plays is way overreacting

[msstate7]

Lo hasn't been great at all, but this is on offense. You shouldn't have to throw gems on Sunday to have a shot. We have to hit better

[msstate7]

He's only made 2 errors all year and been great defensively. Yeah he's not hitting but saying he's not making basic plays is way overreacting

He's been solid on defense for sure, but if you are an auto out, you have to be Scott Rolen at 3rd. That was a play he should make, and it followed an AB where he swung at a terrible pitch that woulda been a 3-1 count.

[msstate7]

Our defensive positioning this game has been top notch.

[CaptainObvious]

He's only made 2 errors all year and been great defensively. Yeah he's not hitting but saying he's not making basic plays is way overreacting
Yeah. He was trying to make the tag before having the ball. Cat should have never been on second to start with. A grooved fastball on an 0-2 count was a pitching mistake by a guy that should have already been out of the game.

[Ranchdawg]

Thank god we don?t have a railroad thru our ballpark

[CaptainObvious]

But he'll, we knew A&M had a better team and a better coaching staff.

[msstate7]

I missed the end of last night's game. Were we popping champagne bottles in the locker room? We look
Like we're hung over today. We're 3rd time thru lineup and still late on early 90s

[msstate7]

11 f'n Ks! F this effort today. This guy is not this good

[Offshore Dawg]

Attempting to hit has definitely sucked ass today.

[Commercecomet24]

He's been solid on defense for sure, but if you are an auto out, you have to be Scott Rolen at 3rd. That was a play he should make, and it followed an AB where he swung at a terrible pitch that woulda been a 3-1 count.

He's been more than solid on defense. Yeah he should've made it and he knows it too. Crap even mlb players boot routine plays. It happens but as I said only 2 errors all year. Last year our 3bs were making 2 a game.

[CaptainObvious]

New respect for Aggieland! Singing God Bless America harmonically at 7th inning stretch!

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah. He was trying to make the tag before having the ball. Cat should have never been on second to start with. A grooved fastball on an 0-2 count was a pitching mistake by a guy that should have already been out of the game.

Agreed

[msstate7]

The only drama in this game is if it's a 1-hit shut out or 2-hit. Seems like maybe our offense of most the season is back

[msstate7]

Hey dawgs, if you don't wanna hear teams talking shit to you, score a run or get 2 hits. Don't cry about talking... shut em up!!!

[msstate7]

All I wanted this weekend was 1 win, and thank God we got it. Us being crybabies while getting punked big time is tainting a mission accomplished weekend though.

[Commercecomet24]

Ah without knowing what's being said by who I wouldn't jump the gun on that. Even if losing if someone's talking crap to me I'm not just gonna roll over and take it.

[parabrave]

Thats what Ron Said. A scoop a tag on a close play usually gets dropped even at the major league level. Now thats how Polk and Jim described the play.

[msstate7]

Ah without knowing what's being said by who I wouldn't jump the gun on that. Even if losing if someone's talking crap to me I'm not just gonna roll over and take it.

I love trash talk. I want us to be one giving it to a team in the field and telling em about it. Baseball (as much as I like it) has too much crying in it about disrespect and such. Hell, I love a bat flip and a pitcher staring down a dug out.

[Commercecomet24]

Thats what Ron Said. A scoop a tag on a close play usually gets dropped even at the major league level. Now thats how Polk and Jim described the play.

Right. And I know everyone right now is kinda in a pissy mood cause we've been playing really well until today. Days like this are gonna happen in baseball though. Our pitchers shoved last night and theirs have today. Won't be the last time this year for either of those things.

[msstate7]

I mean it's 6-0 and we have 1 hit. We should be way more pissed about that than them telling us about it. I say keep telling em, aTm... man up, state!

[msstate7]

Hit Montgomery! Let's fight haha

[Commercecomet24]

I love trash talk. I want us to be one giving it to a team in the field and telling em about it. Baseball (as much as I like it) has too much crying in it about disrespect and such. Hell, I love a bat flip and a pitcher staring down a dug out.

I agree. You can't have a thin skin if you play this game because the trash talk is constant. Heck some of the worst stuff I ever heard was actually after my baseball career was done and started playing softball, serious softball gets nasty! Lol

[Commercecomet24]

Hit Montgomery! Let's fight haha

I concur!

[Ranchdawg]

I?d like to know we at least put up a fight. Somebody hit the ball with authority. I would also like to know what was said and by whom.

[msstate7]

Man, ligon shoulda started the 5th. That was a nice inning. Too bad we saved him for a hopeless situation

[msstate7]

I?d like to know we at least put up a fight. Somebody hit the ball with authority. I would also like to know what was said and by whom.

Most likely the hitter on the double stared down the dugout or something and the 1b coach told us to shut up when we got mad and starting yelling. Something like that

[msstate7]

Atta boy

[msstate7]

Get a run and make em
Make a change

[Ranchdawg]

This ump needs to get ahold of this squawking between the dugouts and players. The last Tam batter in bottom 7th was running his mouth to our dugout as he jogged back to his dugout.

[msstate7]

I'm sure we were doing some of the same last night.

[msstate7]

Sorta weird to extend this guy in a decided game.

[msstate7]

Great game #33

[Ranchdawg]

I'm sure we were doing some of the same last night.

I don?t want us doing it either. Let your play on the field do the talking. Just shut up and play ball.

[msstate7]

I don?t want us doing it either. Let your play on the field do the talking. Just shut up and play ball.

I'm more a Fred smoot kinda guy - talk shit. Of course you gotta play well to do it

[msstate7]

Who is our PH options for long?

[msstate7]

Lemonis should get tossed now

[parabrave]

Welp it;s not a shutout.

[msstate7]

Boy, Kohler needed that. Glad they missed the call now

[HoopsDawg]

How are we not DHing for Long here?

[msstate7]

Do we not have a rh hitter or 2nd catcher?

[HoopsDawg]

How are we not DHing for Long here?

WTF!!!!!

[msstate7]

How was long allowed to hit there?

[Skydawg1]

Nice swing Larry.

[msstate7]

WTF!!!!!

Our coaches butchered it. Lo going way too long and not pinch hitting there is beyond dumb

[msstate7]

Ligon and auger down 6 and 5 seems like a bad choice of timing. Maybe when it was 3-0 and lo
Was done was a better time

[msstate7]

Nice swing Larry.

We seem like we ready to get home

[Skydawg1]

We seem like we ready to get homeI would be. What a strange place.

[HoopsDawg]

Our coaches butchered it. Lo going way too long and not pinch hitting there is beyond dumb

A lot of little things that Lemon butchers. That's not even a little thing, just obvious. Got Nolan Stevens with huge power over there on the bench.

[msstate7]

I would be. What a strange place.

Haha

[msstate7]

Ligon and auger rolling makes me kinda mad we waiting so late. Why not when lo was done and the game was in hand

[CaptainObvious]

A lot of little things that Lemon butchers. That's not even a little thing, just obvious. Got Nolan Stevens with huge power over there on the bench.

Stevens is LH. Powell is a bit dinged up. That leaves Owen to catch the 9th if we hit for Long.

[Alphadog]

Didn?t Powell get hurt?

[HoopsDawg]

Stevens is LH. Powell is a bit dinged up. That leaves Owen to catch the 9th if we hit for Long.

Stevens hit a bomb off a lefty earlier this season. Don't have to worry about the 9th now.

[CaptainObvious]

Other than Hines, 1-6 in the lineup haven't done anything today. They have to carry us game in and game out. They were afraid to swing at anything on the inner half today. 14 Ks and half are looking.

[msstate7]

The ump giving outside now t

[Commercecomet24]

Didn?t Powell get hurt?

Concussion

[Commercecomet24]

Those are not strikes

[msstate7]

Mission accomplished this weekend. Now let's get 1 in Gainesville.

[Commercecomet24]

Mission accomplished this weekend. Now let's get 1 in Gainesville.

Yep it's how you have to approach it

[parabrave]

Would like to know what HH said to the UMP./

[msstate7]

The ump just bumped Hines. Wow, he should be canned

[Commercecomet24]

Worst ump ever outside of Eric Gregg

[HoopsDawg]

Mission accomplished this weekend. Now let's get 1 in Gainesville.

I thought we would be 1-5 at this point so I'll take 3-3.

[msstate7]

Would like to know what HH said to the UMP./

F you, Aggie?

[Commercecomet24]

The ump just bumped Hines. Wow, he should be canned

Saw the same the thing. He bumped Hines that guy should not have a job after this fiasco

[msstate7]

Worst ump ever outside of Eric Gregg

If Hines had bumped him, he'd get suspended. That ump bumped Hines, so it should be the same or worse

[SaintDawg]

Trash ump bumping Hines

[EdwardDrayton]

Get at least two at home and at least one on the road. We're right on track.

[msstate7]

Trash ump bumping Hines

We shouldn't let that go. If for no other reason than make sure he can't call our games anymore

[EdwardDrayton]

Trash ump bumping Hines

Homie was TRYING to initiate contact with Hines. That's BS.

[CaptainObvious]

Mission accomplished this weekend. Now let's get 1 in Gainesville.

Maybe so. But we will see Morris Hodges behind the plate again this year and other umps just like him. Crying about it just pisses fans and Tom Hanks off!

Location Location Location.

Hopefully we saved enough pitching to hold down Samford Tuesday night. 😳

[Ranchdawg]

The film of this ump body bumping Hunter as Hunter was backing away needs to be sent to the SEC office. If that ump had done that at the Dude I might would come out the stands and bitch slapped that ump my self. I don?t think I?ve ever seen a ump body bump a player as the player was backing away.

This ump better not show up at the Dude!

[basedog]

Aggies are the better team w/o a doubt.

He's a regular ump at the Dude and on a lot of our games. Has been for years.

[msstate7]

Aggies are the better team w/o a doubt.

They are. Still, I think we're pretty good... much better than I anticipated

[Commercecomet24]

They are. Still, I think we're pretty good... much better than I anticipated

This. We are definitely a top 15-20 team.

[Ranchdawg]

He's a regular ump at the Dude and on a lot of our games. Has been for years.

He shows up at the Dude I?m going be ringing in his ears from first pitch to last. That should have never happened. Period.

[Skydawg1]

Florida is gonna get swept in BR. I think we will have no problem getting at least 1 in Gainsville.

[Commercecomet24]

Rolls reversed, Hines would get suspended. Not sure why the ump

Right!

[CaptainObvious]

He shows up at the Dude I?m going be ringing in his ears from first pitch to last. That should have never happened. Period.

Well he is from Kosciusko, so.... He has umpired HS, College, MiLB and MLB. Long time ump.

[Todd4State]

Well he is from Kosciusko, so.... He has umpired HS, College, MiLB and MLB. Long time ump.

Morris Hodges umpired in MLB? If he did I see why he doesn't anymore. He's a bush league little ****.

[bigbub50]

Anybody got a video of the bump?

[bigbub50]

Found it.

https://x.com/HailStateStool/status/1771653216070955282?s=20

[bigbub50]

Pretty out of character for Hines to react like that. I’ve never seen him show boat or mouth off very much in his career. The strike zone was trash. That angle didn’t really show to much of a chest bump from the ump.

[msstate7]

Yeah I can't believe that dude umpires mlb. Minor league maybe but not mlb.

[bigbub50]

Here is the other angle.

https://x.com/11point7/status/1771657703229723069?s=20

[Commercecomet24]

I found this morris hodge. He did umpire a few games in mlb as a replacement ump. I see why they didn't keep him!

Morris Hodges umpired a number of major league games around the turn of the 21st century, although he was never part of the permanent umpiring staff. He was brought up from AAA to fill in when regular umpires were unavailable. He saw his first action in the National League in September of 1999, when he worked 7 games. The two leagues combined their umpiring staffs in 2000 and he had his busiest season, coming up for 22 games. He then worked 16 games in 2001, the last coming in May.

[Homedawg]

Would like to know what HH said to the UMP./

Who cares. The ump has no right to do why he did

[MoreCowbell]

Here is the other angle.

https://x.com/11point7/status/1771657703229723069?s=20

Yall are making it sound like the ump punched him, it was not that bad. Hines reacted poorly and bowed up to the ump- I thought Hines was about to bump him. Not really offended by what the ump did honestly. All move on.

You can't make contact with an ump. Why can an ump make contact with a player?

[StarkVegasSteve]

What did any of that have to do with us getting our shit shoved today by a starter who usually does not last 5 innings. We played bad today. We got the job done not getting swept but any time you have a chance to take a series on the road, you have to come to play. We did not.

[Coach34]

We are about to go 2 straight weekends of the home team winning the series its looking like

Exactly, He looked like an unhittable all American today.

The MSU starter should not have pitched beyond the 4th. Still would have lost 3-1. If everyone else was perfect. I don't think MSU has a sacred starter that has ever given the coaches a reason to think they can pivot and shut someone down. Left the pen pretty fresh this week.

But if you only score One run on Sunday. You will lose.

That's fine. We may have still lost but it's hard to hit pitches that aren't strikes and they're called strikes. And then you have Mopoleon behind the plate trying to bump into our guys- makes it frustrating.

If I was Lemonis I would have gone out there and said you want to bump someone bump me mother****er.

I'm with you on that, the coach should take up for his players with umps that are out of line. I've always been a praise in public, chew ass in private guy. Sometimes that isn't always possible, but that's what I tried to do.

Most coaches would have.

[Commercecomet24]

Most coaches would have.

I would've been ejected by the 4th inning 😂! Now mind you I do not curse umps and will not make it personal with an umpire but I'm hard and loud on them and have been run my fair share of times, because i stay on their butt if they're bad. I remember one time we had a really bad ump and I had been riding him most of the game. He told my catcher(who just happened to be my son), I'm gonna run that guy! My son told him go ahead he don't care!

I would've been ejected by the 4th inning ��! Now mind you I do not curse umps and will not make it personal with an umpire but I'm hard and loud on them and have been run my fair share of times, because i stay on their butt if they're bad. I remember one time we had a really bad ump and I had been riding him most of the game. He told my catcher(who just happened to be my son), I'm gonna run that guy! My son told him go ahead he don't care!

LOL. That is great.

I'm with you on that, the coach should take up for his players with umps that are out of line. I've always been a praise in public, chew ass in private guy. Sometimes that isn't always possible, but that's what I tried to do.


Most coaches would have.

Absolutely! I'm pretty patient with umpires. I get it's a thankless job. But if an umpire is coming at one of our players like that our coach shouldn't tolerate that. If Lemonis got four games for it and the school got fined (gasp!) so be it. And if he did get kicked out we all know Lemonis would be hiding back in the clubhouse or something like that.

My uncle could throw 96 with a wicked slider he couldn't command I'm sure in high school which was the equivalent of a 1A school in Mississippi and my Dad was the only one who could catch him. One time my Dad and some umpire were disagreeing over the strike zone and the umpire threatened to kick my Dad out. My Dad told the umpire "You can kick me out if you want to but I'm going tell you- I'm the only one who can catch this pitcher and if I'm not here it's going to be a long day for you."

My Dad was allowed to stay in the game.

I’ve always wondered how hard it is for a coach to really gauge off the plate one way or the other from the dugout. I’m sure they get feedback from players. When I’m seated over the dug out in stands it’s hard to gauge if it’s off the plate or not and how much. Some of your baseball gurus enlighten me from that angle how they can really tell.

They know simply by where the catcher sets up if his team is on D.

Coaches have real time access to Trackman from what I have heard.

That's fine. We may have still lost but it's hard to hit pitches that aren't strikes and they're called strikes. And then you have Mopoleon behind the plate trying to bump into our guys- makes it frustrating.

If I was Lemonis I would have gone out there and said you want to bump someone bump me mother****er.

Just a question, why not just pitch to the same Strike zone? Everyone can feast on a shitty ump. Why did we throw anything to Braden Montgomery.

Not burning the coaches here, I have seen similar obtuseness from MLB teams. Bitching like hell about the wild strike zone but conversely not pitching to the same strike zone themselves.
