[Coach34]

https://x.com/HailStateBB/status/1784274360616050717


same line-up again today

[msstate7]

Need Jordan and Hines to start winning games... they're capable.

[Homedawg]

Need Jordan and Hines to start winning games... they're capable.

Hell need Hines to just stop making lh turns back to the dugout. That would be progress. I know he's presssing. Draft year got off to a rough start and just can't get in all the way on track. Tough sport

[DawgFromOxford]

Time for gotro to actually earn his paycheck today

[basedog]

Hope we win!

[magrooder]

I forgot how annoying that whistler is. I wish he'd swallow his lips

[msstate7]

After the first 2 batters, I didn't expect a scoreless inning. Good job... get a run, dawgs!

[msstate7]

Need Jordan and Hines to start winning games... they're capable.

That's 1

[msstate7]

Was Larry running or advancing on bobbled ball? If he was running, he needs to hit bench. I feel like he shoulda been on 2b on the hit to start with and that was perhaps the worst jump in baseball history

[mparkerfd20]

Hope it continues but Auger pitching like I love. Don't overpower them. Just pitch around them with junk.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Was Larry running or advancing on bobbled ball? If he was running, he needs to hit bench. I feel like he shoulda been on 2b on the hit to start with and that was perhaps the worst jump in baseball history

He stood there for a minute because he thought he fouled it back. But still.

[parabrave]

I forgot how annoying that whistler is. I wish he'd swallow his lips

Thats the 2nd one. The original died a few years ago.

[basedog]

Auger looking good, Hines doing his job also.

[magrooder]

Thats the 2nd one. The original died a few years ago.

Congrats to vandy for still having the crappiest fan award.

[mparkerfd20]

Atta boy Hines!!! Love to see you go oppo!

[msstate7]

That's 1

That's 2

[Leroy Jenkins]

Nice

[BrunswickDawg]

Wait, I've been told Dakota can't do anything but K and Hines can't go oppo.

[basedog]

I’m liking this!

[mparkerfd20]

And that was ball 4 you ****ing ump

[Ranchdawg]

I’m amazed that Hines is actually hitting the ball.

[mparkerfd20]

Wait, I've been told Dakota can't do anything but K and Hines can't go oppo.
Dakota can't besides an occasional walk.

[Leroy Jenkins]

I’m amazed that Hines is actually hitting the ball.

I'm amazed that they are throwing him anything in the zone.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Powell had one rattle around under the undercarriage. All the dudes (trainer, ump, Lem, etc.) just standing around watching him and saying "yeah that sucks nothing you can do about it". Because everyone knows what he's feeling. Lol

[Coach34]

ok- Auger is at his pitch limit. Great outing.

DO NOT RUN HIM BACK OUT THERE

[Coach34]

Pulliam with a "lazer" to left

[Leroy Jenkins]

Pretty impressive single. 108 mph.

[msstate7]

Pulliam with a "lazer" to left

Just terrible luck for the kid

[Leroy Jenkins]

wow. The stats say the call only gets reversed 20 percent of the time. Nice.

[Coach34]

What an outstanding outing for Auger

[CaptainObvious]

State needs to hang a crooked number this inning! No way to feel safe with 2 runs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Brooks By Damn! Auger

[SaintDawg]

Auger is having himself a day!

[basedog]

Auger has been outstanding! Hines just as good today.

Btw, Flordia might be close to not making the tourney.

[The Federalist Engineer]

ok- Auger is at his pitch limit. Great outing.

DO NOT RUN HIM BACK OUT THERE

He looks effortless right now.

[Coach34]

Big AB for Hines

[Leroy Jenkins]

Love Mershon. No other player would've taken that bag.

[Coach34]

He looks effortless right now.

yeah but he is in a pitch count he hasnt done all season

[Coach34]

Boom Babyyyyy

[msstate7]

That's 2

That's 3!!!

[Leroy Jenkins]

I'm amazed that they are throwing him anything in the zone.

.

[BrunswickDawg]

Boom. Let's break it open!

[SaintDawg]

Hines having himself a day!!! Boom!

[basedog]

Now this is Mississippi State Baseball!!

[ZedFedder]

Yuge.

We have to secure this one by any means necessary. Then, you go and try to get a series tmrw. But you got to secure it.

[CaptainObvious]

It is obvious Hunter Hines reads Elitedawgs!

And apparently Jordan has been reading here too since he is not striking out in pitches in the dirt or other batters box!

[R2Dawg]

Auger and Hines getting it done today. Just finish today.

[CaptainObvious]

First sign of trouble this inning they have to get Auger. And by the first sign I mean a crushed pitch or a 5 pitch walk or HBP. Do not let 2 runners on.

[Coach34]

Stupid running him back out there

[CaptainObvious]

That's trouble enough. 6 pitch walk and the 6th wasn't close!

[DownwardDawg]

Wow! How are we winning 5-0?!?!
I refuse to watch since!! Lol
Just got free to check score!!

[Coach34]

man that pisses me off. Always reactionary

[basedog]

Good move taking Auger out. Great job by him.

Lemonis reads ED also***

[CaptainObvious]

Wow! How are we winning 5-0?!?!
I refuse to watch since!! Lol
Just got free to check score!!

Hunter Hines reads ED! Got tired of us crapping on him!

[msstate7]

man that pisses me off. Always reactionary

90% of managers/coaches do this in mlb/college. The great ones make the move before the trouble, not after

[No BS Dawg]

Great outing by Auger and Hines is on fire! Great to see the rebound and energy from last night. Color me very impressed so far by this outing, more like MSU baseball we expect!

[CaptainObvious]

Damn it focused on a runner with a 5 run lead and 1out is ignert! Then the clown show starts with shulke

[msstate7]

Horrible! Picking the guy off at 2b is low % at best

[BuckyIsAB****]

Throw another pick to first now

[msstate7]

Get him out, now!!!

[Coach34]

No idea why we keep pitching this guy. Could have gone to Davis to start the inning and let him finish this

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus...

[CaptainObvious]

That shit is in coaching right there!

[ZedFedder]

Schuelke gives up a bomb about every other appearance it feels like. He needs relegated to midweek only.

You HAVE to win this one.

[msstate7]

Ok, nice response after the bomb

[CaptainObvious]

Go hang another crooked number off their closer now.

[CaptainObvious]

We have 3 guys in our lineup hitting under 240. They is awful!

[CaptainObvious]

I'm feeling a bit queasy that State ain't scoring any more today. Not sure 5 is enough with out BP.

[Bdawg]

What are we doing out there?

[msstate7]

He was safe, but coach players to hold tags!!!! Players slide off all the time. That quick tag and move the glove is dumb AF

[msstate7]

Pop up'n us to death. I hate baseball

[Ranchdawg]

Can we hang on?

[msstate7]

2 pop ups = 2 on. Baseball is a cruel f'n game

[Bdawg]

Huge DP! Oh no review

[msstate7]

Was that not a DP ball? Maybe I watch pro too much

[SPMT]

yeah but he is in a pitch count he hasnt done all season

Auger looks good. Cam been iffy lately.

When the last whistler croaks I?ll celebrate

[Coach34]

good job. Having the best defense in the SEC pays off

[Leroy Jenkins]

This infield is good, especially mif.

[Coach34]

When the last whistler croaks I?ll celebrate

you and me both

[msstate7]

Gotta have a run

[Coach34]

way to work the pitcher Dirtbag

[msstate7]

We have 2 power hitters, and we just got thrown out running with them coming up. Good grief!!!!

[Coach34]

stupid. We cant run on this catcher

[msstate7]

stupid. We cant run on this catcher

You don't run with your best hitters up anyway. Lemonis needs that bucket kicked out from under his dumb ass

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Offense, defense, Hines, and Auger deserve a win. I will be genuinely upset for them if the bullpen/Lemos pitching management costs the win but I'm trying to not let past "late innings collapse" traumas trigger my baseball PTSD

[Ranchdawg]

We do some really dumb stuff.

[Coach34]

You don't run with your best hitters up anyway. Lemonis needs that bucket kicked out from under his dumb ass

disagree there but it was stupid call vs this guy

[msstate7]

disagree there but it was stupid call vs this guy

It's not like Jordan and Hines are gonna cut down on their swing and try to get a single. They're going for the fence and a double scores him anyway

[msstate7]

We've got to win this game. Come on dawgs

[msstate7]

Long is a f'n clown that needs to be gone

[Saltydog]

Lol, how are we this bad at catcher........

[CaptainObvious]

The problem hadn't been running Mershon. He got an awful jump on a fast ball. They guessed wrong. But it didn't matter. Power hitters also strike out a lot. And it happened there. Pitching HAS to win this one. And Hardin count throw a strike without piping it in the middle. The BP is our Achilles in close games late.

And Seiger for Vandy has finished off at least 7 wins that Vandy likely won with late scoring. And it is about to be his 4th win today to go along with 4 saves.

We don't have that guy that just comes in and goes right at em.

[msstate7]

Here comes a steal

[Saltydog]

back to bad Hardin........

[BuckyIsAB****]

Its almost like we have seen this for 3 years now

[msstate7]

Long is a f'n clown that needs to be gone

Apologies, long. This is your other bad counterpart

[CaptainObvious]

We ain't just bad at catcher! We are bad at back end pitching just like last year. It might not have been Our PC. It is definitely our Head Recruiter.

[Bdawg]

Giving it away.
Edit: well it was a foul ball not hbp

[BuckyIsAB****]

This is over

[msstate7]

He tried to bunt it!

[msstate7]

He never pulled back! That's a strike

[CaptainObvious]

These guys literally suck! Everybody got pumped off the fools gold of sweeping Juco level Auburn.

[msstate7]

F that! Don't feel sorry bc he got hit... that's a strike

[msstate7]

Good call.

[DawgFromOxford]

I was having more fun when we were scoring and they weren?t

[msstate7]

I was having more fun when we were scoring and they weren?t

It switched when the BABIP gods decided vandy should get rewarded for pop ups

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I was having more fun when we were scoring and they weren?t

when we score, I feel happy

when team playing us score, me get the sads

[Coach34]

Finally a pitcher with a set of stones

[msstate7]

Atta boy!!!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Thank you Davis for nuttin up

[Ranchdawg]

We need to hit the ball and score some runs to make me feel better.

[BeardoMSU]

The kid with a double!

[Coach34]

attaboy Freshman

[Quaoarsking]

Pulliam is that late season spark that changes our season, like Lucas Laster or Cole Gordon back in the day.

[BeardoMSU]

And another one!

[basedog]

Big hit indeed!

[msstate7]

What. A. Clutch. Hit!!!

[basedog]

Hell yeah!

[msstate7]

Apologies, long. This is your other bad counterpart

Please shut your loud, stupid mouth!

[Coach34]

This is over

agree

[GolfDawg]

Punching back and extending the lead. That?s huge!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pulliam is a player.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Damn only took us 43 tries but we closed one out

[CaptainObvious]

Our Punch and Judy bottom of the order like the fast baller!

[BeardoMSU]

Damn only took us 43 tries but we closed one out

Is this an attempt to jinx us? Wtf?

[Commercecomet24]

Damn only took us 43 tries but we closed one out

Naw we've been closing out close games the last 2 weeks.

[Commercecomet24]

By Lemonis changing the rotation we now have a great chance to win the series with Lo going tomorrow.

[Coach34]

Dawgs Win!!!!

So much for all that sweep talk bullshit

[msstate7]

What a huge win. Great job, dawgs

[Commercecomet24]

Back end of the pen starting to come together

[SaintDawg]

wrap it in maroon & white

[DownwardDawg]

Yes!!!!
Big win!!! We did what we needed. Now we could have our cake and eat it too tomorrow!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Dawgs Win!!!!

So much for all that sweep talk bullshit

People may not like Lemonis but this team has some stones.

[DownwardDawg]

By Lemonis changing the rotation we now have a great chance to win the series with Lo going tomorrow.

Absolutely!!!! You and I both talked about this. Haha

[R2Dawg]

Lo needs a great outing tomorrow and we got a chance to take the series and keep hosting hopes alive.

[Commercecomet24]

Pulliam is a player.

He's been so good at the plate and defensively too. He's gonna be a good one.

[R2Dawg]

Back end of the pen starting to come together

They have looked better lately. Our pitching is starting to come together. Just need some hitters to get hot.

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely!!!! You and I both talked about this. Haha

Yep sometimes to win a big series you have to gamble with your pitching. If you do it right you win more often than not. Gotta have the stones to do it.

[basedog]

Great win, maybe our best win so far. We can win this series, nothing special about Vandy.

[Commercecomet24]

They have looked better lately. Our pitching is starting to come together. Just need some hitters to get hot.

We're starting to get some big hits late to extend leads and maybe just maybe Hines is hitting his stride. Jordan needs to start hitting again.

[Coach34]

He's been so good at the plate and defensively too. He's gonna be a good one.

get outa here. We dont have any players for next year remember?

[Commercecomet24]

Great win, maybe our best win so far. We can win this series, nothing special about Vandy.

We needed this win, it may not have been a must win but it was pretty close to it!

[Commercecomet24]

get outa here. We dont have any players for next year remember?

Got a pretty solid infield core next year(if Mershin stays) Stevens-1b, pulliam, Mershon and Cupp.

[Todd4State]

RPI at 34 now. With some volatility at the moment. Should be somewhere in the 30's though.

[PGHBulldogBG]

This was a huge win. Now get 2 vs Bama, beat Ole Miss and 2 against Mizzou and we are in.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Beating a #11 team in the nation is a nice win. Maybe we get a decent start from CJ tomorrow

Still have a Fresh Stevens and Pico tomorrow

Schulke seems problematic to use vs Vandy. Hardin could be tried again.

[Commercecomet24]

Schuelke got caught screwing around with the runners and lost focus. He was fine after he gave up that missle, lol! Also Kohler should've turned the double play and the hr would've been a solo.

[Coach34]

win tomorrow and the hosting dream stays alive

yeah kohler cost us the double play to kill their momentum

[basedog]

I just might wear my maroon shades Sunday. We need this series for lots of good reasons.

[Commercecomet24]

yeah kohler cost us the double play to kill their momentum

Slow runner too. If he turns that they may not even score.

[basedog]

yeah kohler cost us the double play to kill their momentum

Exactly

[Commercecomet24]

I just might wear my maroon shades Sunday. We need this series for lots of good reasons.

Bring em if you got em!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Naw we've been closing out close games the last 2 weeks.

To be fair I was so mad after OM I have not watched a game since

[Ranchdawg]

A great win! Man what else can you say. Congrats to the team. Y’all had me really worried. Pulliam looks really good. I’ll reframe from bustin Hunters chops for awhile now. Win or lose tomorrow I’ll be in Starkville next weekend rooting for us to sweep them red elephants.

[basedog]

I’m headed up Friday, been a while.

[Commercecomet24]

To be fair I was so mad after OM I have not watched a game since

Those last 2 at om pissed me off too. Those 2 games sucked. To the teams credit though they've nutted up since then.

[Commercecomet24]

I’m headed up Friday, been a while.

Man wish I could be there with you! Take your glasses with you lol!

[basedog]

Man wish I could be there with you! Take your glasses with you lol!

I’m cleaning them up right now! LOL. Btw, Kyis up 10-6 in 5th inning, batting Round for second time in inning. Should have seen a crazy play, man on first and third, runner takes off on first and falls down halfway to second, SC pitcher steps off the rubber and turns to runner while the runner on third scores. Pitcher turns back to runner scoring and runner on second slides safe to second. I LMBO.

Man I love those trick plays like that. I had one where with a runner on third, the hitter walks and instead of stopping at first keeps running down the right field line and another with first and third the runner on first lays down and starts rolling toward the rf fence. Worked every time. You just can't do it to often. Save it for when you really need a run, lol! Gotta love baseball! I'm gonna have to go find the clip of that one with KY.

LOL. It was in top of 5th with trick play. 12-6 bottom 5.

[Todd4State]

This was a huge win. Now get 2 vs Bama, beat Ole Miss and 2 against Mizzou and we are in.

I think we are in with two more SEC wins. Our RPI last I looked was at 35. If we maintain 38 or above we should be Ok. Mizzou's RPI is 90.

So we're in good shape right now as far as simply getting into the regionals.

Our guys should be motivated, just keep winning.

I'm gonna go look it up.

I want us winning many more games this year, but to me rewarding Lemonis for so many losses this season that might have cost us better seeding is really sad.
We have 10 of 14 SEC teams typically getting in the tournament each year.
And we reward the coach for just not finishing 11th or 12th in the conference.

meh- only gotten 10 teams in 4 out of the last 10 years
We arent going to finish freaking 10th. We are top half of the SEC. Right where we've been the last 30 years

And I'll add- nobody is going to want to face us in a Regional with our 2 SP's. Plus we have Auger really coming on now as a 3rd option.

[DawgFromOxford]

Huge win today. Needed it. Glad to see the team step up. Let?s do it again tomorrow

[Todd4State]

The season isn't over. He will be rewarded or not based on how tomorrow and the next three weekends go plus the postseason.

[PGHBulldogBG]

If we can take care of business in the governors cup and win 2 of 3 against Bama and 2 of 3 against Mizzou we are in a regional. Puts us at 15-15 and I doubt they leave a SEC team out with that record

[Coach34]

If we can take care of business in the governors cup and win 2 of 3 against Bama and 2 of 3 against Mizzou we are in a regional. Puts us at 15-15 and I doubt they leave a SEC team out with that record

We win 14 and we are in. 15 is automatic

[Todd4State]

We win 14 and we are in. 15 is automatic

I'm thinking 13. Our RPi is 35 right now. The only opponent with a worse RPI going forward is Mizzou at 90. Again I highly doubt we play North Alabama.

Win and our RPI goes up. Lose and we really won't take too much damage. It's probably going to take us tanking including losing 2/3 to Mizzou to keep us out.

We're probably closer to hosting than we are not making it.

[basedog]

Vandy has exact same Sec record as us, 11-9. Biggest game of the year for us and them.

[EdwardDrayton]

Schuelke got caught screwing around with the runners and lost focus. He was fine after he gave up that missle, lol! Also Kohler should've turned the double play and the hr would've been a solo.

Yeah he hung that bad boy; it left a vapor trail. A few folks started leaking water at 5-4. It's baseball baby. Gotta have a strong constitution for this sport. Let's play on Sunday for a road series win. Ain't college baseball great!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah he hung that bad boy; it left a vapor trail. A few folks started leaking water at 5-4. It's baseball baby. Gotta have a strong constitution for this sport. Let's play on Sunday for a road series win. Ain't college baseball great!!!

agreed

If you arent enjoying this baseball season by us there is something wrong with you.

Yeah, that ball got outta here in a hurry...something travels that far oughta have a damn stewardess on it.***

[BeardoMSU]

We're probably closer to hosting than we are not making it.

That would please me, lol.

[Commercecomet24]

agreed

If you arent enjoying this baseball season by us there is something wrong with you.

Maybe it's just me being older and loving baseball so much, but I've enjoyed watching these kids play. Sure we could have a better record but I'm just enjoying this team. Next year is next year, just enjoy this one as long as it lasts.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah, that ball got outta here in a hurry...something travels that far oughta have a damn stewardess on it.***

There's one park it wouldn't have been a home run in, Yellowstone lol!

[Homedawg]

Dakota can't besides an occasional walk.

He had an 11 game hit streak broken today. And he did walk twice today. But sure sounds great. Man we have some dumb ass fans.

[Commercecomet24]

He had an 11 game hit streak broken today. And he did walk twice today. But sure sounds great. Man we have some dumb ass fans.

People probably don't realize he's our best hitter with risp. He's hitting over 450 with risp. His k rate is to high for sure but that comes with power hitters these days.

[Todd4State]

That would please me, lol.

I would love nothing more than to spend the first weekend of June at Dudy Noble Field.

I'm not making reservations yet but the brochure is still on the table for now.

[Homedawg]

I'm thinking 13. Our RPi is 35 right now. The only opponent with a worse RPI going forward is Mizzou at 90. Again I highly doubt we play North Alabama.

Win and our RPI goes up. Lose and we really won't take too much damage. It's probably going to take us tanking including losing 2/3 to Mizzou to keep us out.

We're probably closer to hosting than we are not making it.

We will be big time on the bubble w 13. That means the next 3 weekends are disasters.

[Todd4State]

Maybe it's just me being older and loving baseball so much, but I've enjoyed watching these kids play. Sure we could have a better record but I'm just enjoying this team. Next year is next year, just enjoy this one as long as it lasts.

Yeah- I don't get fans worried about next year. Especially with the portal.

One thing I have learned about the draft is it's never as bad as it could be or as good as it could be. It seems like every year I have MSU fans tell me that all of our players and recruits are going pro and it never is like that.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah- I don't get fans worried about next year. Especially with the portal.

100% right. It seems like theirs more negative about next year than enjoying this year. You know like i do at the college level the team is generally gonna be vastly different every year. We've got a good core of position players and lot of good pitching returning. Get some in the portal and go from there. And like you said the draft is never as bad or good as folks make out. I'm just enjoying this year for now.

[Commercecomet24]

We will be big time on the bubble w 13. That means the next 3 weekends are disasters.

Right we have 11 wins now if we only get 2 more out of tomorrow and the next 3 weeks we don't deserve to make it. I still say we get to 16 sec wins.

[Todd4State]

100% right. It seems like theirs more negative about next year than enjoying this year. You know like i do at the college level the team is generally gonna be vastly different every year.

I'm just enjoying this year for now.

Too many MSU fans rely on what they have "seen" and err too much on the side of caution because a player may not work out. I remember some of our fans calling Brent Rooker a waste after his freshman year. LOL.

[Todd4State]

We will be big time on the bubble w 13. That means the next 3 weekends are disasters.

We would be on the bubble but if our RPI is 35 or higher which I think it would be we would get in as a three seed. But I agree- I think it's going to be moot barring a disaster.

[Santiago]

Great comment CC24, and I am guilty of pointing out the rebuild next year if we were to lose Chance and Mershon also. I think the past 2 seasons and seeing squandered chances this year started to piss me off about Lemonis. I want Lemonis to build, and for us to keep our CWS winning coach and see more success.

Parker has made the biggest difference, not Lemonis. Next year I am already catching myself telling friends "I trust Parker to have our pitching staff strong". When is the last time we said that about Lemonis.
So...I want to see us go on a heck of a run this season, and use it to get portal players. We need it. Maybe you guys that know the program better can say if Lemonis has changed to the good on being involved or not.

He had an 11 game hit streak broken today. And he did walk twice today. But sure sounds great. Man we have some dumb ass fans.

He's having a good season, but I wanna see even more power. We need him and Hines to destroy the ball from here on. Bc we have so few power guys, we need these 2 to carry us

100% right. It seems like theirs more negative about next year than enjoying this year.

Its because they have had to shift the narrative. They started with this team sux, has no talent, and wont make a Regional. Then it had to shift once they realized we are making a Regional. So now its that we arent hosting and we will suck next year

Great post and Man I can understand completely where you're coming from! These last 2 years have been huge disappointments and I can understand why people have angst with Lemonis.

Parker is so good. As Earl weaver used to say if you ain't got pitching you ain't got squat. Parker has totally rebuilt our pitching staff and letting kids use their strengths. Obviously we've had some growing pains but guys are getting better now worse and that's the sign of Parker and the players making adjustments.

I know we all just want our program to be elite again and hopefully we're back on track.
