Queens (Charlotte) vs MSU game thread

[EdwardDrayton]

0-0 after one. Let's have some fun!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Mid 3rd Dawgs lead 2-1.

[dawgoneyall]

Not being aware of the situation cost us a run/gave them a run.

Coaches should have been aware.

[parabrave]

Top of the order sucks today. Guess we need to get into their Bullpen.

[EdwardDrayton]

Noah Sullivan gets his first steal looking a lot not Rickey Henderson.

[EdwardDrayton]

Downs goes deep with Sullivan on; Dawgs lead 4-1.

[parabrave]

Ummm where is Freis??

[Offshore Dawg]

I missed it if it has been discussed. what happened to the cowboy that used to sit behind home plate.

Ronnie Braswell. Recovering from health issues.

MSU needs a tutorial on Batting Lineups

I see why Reeves is playing but he's a leadoff man today?

Two of the better hitters Stallman and Frei going to watch the game? With a mid Righty on the mound?

[Saltydog]

The eye test tells me we're a bottom third of the league team. We've won one game against a decent team. Starting pitching is very average by SEC standards but the pen is decent. Poor defense up the middle and a lineup that struggles to hit with RISP doesn't bode well for us in league play. aTm has been the most disappointing team thus far. Way too much talent to only be 8-5 at this point. The confederates are by far the most improved.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ben Davis leisurely strolling through five. Dawgs batting bottom of the fifth; lead 5-1.

Was asking the same thing. Maybe Lemon trying things out.

[maroonmania]

Any update on Cupp today?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Ben Davis from Booneville

Showing many of the PG All American Dorks how to pitch.

[parabrave]

Nice hit by Stevens. Guy hitting near 400 and he is 6th. Maybe rime to move him up. And Downs with number 2. And he is 7th. Who makes the lineup.

[CaptainObvious]

Downs needs to play regularly. Can he play Catcher?

[CaptainObvious]

Frei needs to find a spot. Stallman put himself on the bench with yesterday's performance in the leadoff spot. Downs needs to play no matter which side the pitcher throws from!

Can we DH 2 spots? 😳 pitcher and catcher!

[CaptainObvious]

Chance was afraid he was going to earn some pine time so he lined one out of the park to go 1-9 so far this weekend!

[EdwardDrayton]

Dawgs extend the lead. 9-1.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ben Davis pitches six strong innings: 1 ER, 1H, 4K. 40 strikes, 17 balls.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hunter with a double to left center. That's the second one he's placed there this weekend. I do believe he's found a stroke.

[EdwardDrayton]

Queens narrowly escapes getting run ruled B7. For the moment anyway. Dawgs lead 10-1 after 7.

[EdwardDrayton]

Mikhai Grant rebounds after a leadoff walk, retires the next three. Mid 8th: 10-1. Dawgs get another chance to end it.

He always seems to need a couple of batters before he finds the strike zone. May be tough to bring him into a tight situation in SEC games. Almost need a clean inning for him to start.

I'm merely an eternal optimist. :)

He's only pitched a few innings but, yes, he needs to limit the walks before we can trust him in a tight game.

Any update on Cupp today?

According to Lemonis Cupp is fine. Just bruised up some and sore.

[Todd4State]

Only complaint about today is using McPherson. We may need him to bail out Ligon tomorrow. Although they may be starting him in Biloxi next week too. So maybe there is a plan I don't know about there.

I like the way we are playing overall though. Got to clean up some things here and there but nothing major.

[Todd4State]

He pitched like Greg Maddux but with higher velocity today. Definitely earned another start.

If we can't beat Queens without McPherson tomorrow, we've got bigger problems. I'd expect Pruitt to go Tuesday and start next Sunday possibly. I trust Parker more than any body on this staff.

Truth here.

[Cooterpoot]

Queens isn't a good team, so I don't want to get too optimistic but things "appear" to be slowly coming together a little. Still see problems but hope the problems aren't greater than the positives. We find out next weekend.

[Coach34]

We will continue to rotate the corner OF guys. They all deserve to play.

More about trying to line McPherson up with a potential Sunday start than anything.

Good problem to have. I would like to see Reeves take over at second base because he is our best defensive second baseman but he has to hit.

Great defender but something off with his swing. Appears to be a timing issue to me

I don’t mind him in the line up, just not at leadoff… I don’t like the constant diff line ups. I understand it, but I hate it… We have to find a lead off guy. Hell put Col Sanders there and see what he does.
