Todays lineup is the MASH lineup

[cheewgumm]

I expect 20 runs today.

[State82]

Headed that way

[The Federalist Engineer]

Aaron Downs is looking like Brent Rooker this weekend

He is a big boy, Tarzan is playing Like Tarzan.

This is awesome

[mparkerfd20]

Ross "Must be high as a kite"fill trying to steal home.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Did Highfill and Cheesehead just jump the shark on base running stupidity?

Stealing home?

Versus Queens, this stupid and poor sportsmanship

[3dawgnight15]

I wonder if Slate Alford could have played 2nd base?..

[State82]

Versus Queens, this stupid and poor sportsmanship

My first thought exactly.

[maroonmania]

I'm getting the feeling our offense is going to consistently struggle against lefties.

[mparkerfd20]

Cheese has to be the worst 3b coach in the history of baseball. We make so many stupid base running mistakes and it all started with him.

[maroonmania]

And more stupid baserunning, this time by Sanders. Infield hit but he gets tagged out 10 feet away from 3rd base. Have NO clue what he was trying to do.

[bigbub50]

3 base running mistakes today for those keeping score

Downs has never hit a homer in his entire MSU career entering the season. He now has 7 homers for the season.

That's been a theme the last 4 years or so.

[maroonmania]

Time to remove Mannell from the mound.

[maroonmania]

Where is Gavin Black? Still strange to me that Gavin Black and JT Schnoor both only have one appearance on the entire season and both were in a game against one of the best opponents we've played this year (Troy). In fact, Schnoor and Black's inning of work is what lost us the game but neither has been seen since.

[Coursesuper]

Don?t think this mash lineup is gonna get to 20 today.

[mparkerfd20]

One of the worst backstops I can remember us having. :/

[parabrave]

So Frei comes on after sitting for 2 days and gets a hit wRISP while someone else leaves 5 on base? Can anyone else play 1st?

[mparkerfd20]

He's just lazy af back there

[Saltydog]

Don't think it's lazy as much as it is the fact that he's just not good enough to play the position. He needs to sit and he's damn sure not good enough to get p/t in an already crowded outfield.

[trob115]

We need Powell or Owen at catcher.

Move Sullivan to 1B, and then DH Frei.

Sullivan isn't going to play first unless it's an emergency. He's not good there

[The Federalist Engineer]

Gavin black mystery continues and we have a Stone Simmons mystery

Gavin was put in the toughest mess of the season against a top-25 opponent and then not used against mid Arizona or Ok State.

Mannell gives me that Coby Holcombe feeling. But at least he's just a Diego Pavia Freshman. He'll be good in a few years.

He?s below the Mendoza line at the plate and just not good behind the plate.

I’m guessing stone was saved for midweek start along with Pruitt also possibly foster. Then stone will return to wkend pen.

Stevens could play first.

[parabrave]

Stevens could play first.

Dam got to get my moneyball in. So could Hattenburg.

[EdwardDrayton]

Dam got to get my moneyball in. So could Hattenburg.

Well played para.

[KOdawg1]

Ross is the worst defensive catcher I think I've ever seen.

He can't catch the ball. Like pitches just a couple inches off the plate, he completely whiffs on.

Plus with his arm injury last year, he can't throw either. Just a liability everywhere right now.

I'm beginning to wonder about our S&C program. Highfill looks like he has lost weight since his freshman year and is taking the Hines performance dip

[Coach34]

We are on a big pace for XBH's. I think our S&C program is fine. Highfill just isnt performing. Hines can hit the ball a mile- his problem isnt power.

[SPMT]

We need Powell or Owen at catcher.

Move Sullivan to 1B, and then DH Frei.

Agree

[SPMT]

Athlete. Not a catcher.
