Okie game 2, HH must have the video

[parabrave]

Who in the heck makes the Lineup. Hines still in but back to 7th. No problem with that but to back him with a .182 batter. WTF. Freis getting bigger splinters.

[EdwardDrayton]

My pregame meal ......... surely this guarantees a win.

Another game, another baserunning blunder. We are not well-coached.

[Coursesuper]

We are stupid.

[Leroy Jenkins]

You gotta be fist-fvcking me with a goat hoof.

[Activated Alpha]

What is our percentage of base running blunders through the season compared to other SEC teams?

[bulldogcountry1]

Another game, another baserunning blunder. We are not well-coached.

It just keeps happening. Over and over. It?s inexcusable.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah Ben Davis ain't sharp today. 3 batters face, 3 hard hits

[Saltydog]

I hope he proves me wrong but I don't like Davis as our no. 2 guy in league play. He's a mid-week guy right now in his career.

[Offshore Dawg]

It just keeps happening. Over and over. It?s inexcusable.

Can't fix stupid.

[Activated Alpha]

Oh and now an error. I thought our MIF was going to be elite this year?

[Saltydog]

Reeves, SMH.....He's now hitting but he can't field shit and they are hitting the ball hard off Davis.........This ain't Queens and he's not gonna overpower OU......

[Coursesuper]

Why are our best arms not out there?

[Offshore Dawg]

I think I will put the girls basketball on the big TV. and put this crap on the tablet to glance at once in a while.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah, need to go get Ben Davis. He ain't got it today.

[StateDawg44]

Still experimenting with starting pitching, and failing, in conference play past Pico.

[bulldogcountry1]

We continue to groove pitches over the heart of the plate with 2 strikes.

[Coursesuper]

We continue to groove pitches over the heart of the plate with 2 strikes.

He doesn’t have an out pitch.

[parabrave]

Cupp you ain't helping things. Thats 2 runs in 2 days on you.

[StateDawg44]

Do we even have anyone up in the BP?

[Coach34]

just a compete meltdown

[Activated Alpha]

Whelp, this game is toast. Going to focus on something else

[msstate7]

I would just make Davis throw 120 pitches now. Games over

[EdwardDrayton]

Just like basketball. We're capable of beating anyone. And we can lose to anyone.

[Quaoarsking]

Reminder that Lemonis is one of the 10 highest paid baseball coaches in the country.

In other sports, we have to accept that we can't always get an elite coach. In baseball, we do not.

[Coach34]

So much for a win giving us a boost

[msstate7]

Probably should pull cupp at the same time as Davis. For a glove first SS, he can't boot 2 balls costing us runs.

[Coach34]

9th in the SEC

[Saltydog]

Should've stuck with Stone as a SP and been done with it......He's much better than Davis......

[EdwardDrayton]

Need to stop the bleeding at 4-0. Plenty of time to scratch back into this one.

[msstate7]

9th in the SEC

I'm sure there's plenty of good coaches out there that would love to be 10th nationally/9th in sec

[Saltydog]

With one out why was Reese not playing up trying to save the run? If he was we either get the runner at home or possibly a double play.

[DawgFromOxford]

Get home in time to see us down 5-0 and 2 errors? WTF happened?

[EdwardDrayton]

Dang. Do we really have this big a gap between Friday SP and Sat/Sun?!!!??

[Quaoarsking]

9th in the SEC

[Activated Alpha]

Fundamentals. How many times do we talk about that during the season on these threads? Seems it's a recurring theme and yet we struggle with any part of fundamentals whether it's defense, baserunning, or situational awareness at the plate

[msstate7]

Just a reminder that this was davis' line last week vs Texas...
2.2 ip 3 h 3 er 4 bb 2 k

So, so far, he's...
12.26 era
3.27 whip

[The Federalist Engineer]

Coach Wes Johnson would fix this over a Fall. MSU would be hosting next Spring.

Wow I know baseball isn?t a money sport but these are way lower than I thought. I would have assumed lemon makes at least $3M. I find it hard to believe we can?t pay a HC $2M to go poach someone

[DEDawg]

WHY IS HINES IN THE LINEUP STILL

[msstate7]

WHY IS HINES IN THE LINEUP STILL

Guess bc we don't have anyone better, which is unfortunate

Like I said, nothing more than a mid-week guy.

[bulldogcountry1]

Hines misses 3 straight fastballs in the zone. Any SEC hitter should have hit all of them.

We need to boost him to $2 mil so we can claim top three in something.

[Quaoarsking]

We can absolutely poach a good coach if we're willing to pay the same salary as we're currently giving Lemonis. I get that some of them won't want to live in Mississippi, but with a high salary and great fan support, we'll find someone good.

[msstate7]

This looks like a good game to give some pay back for highfill

Nah, 34 said it?s impossible. He?s always right

[Coach34]

lol

Our next coach will be just like the previous ones. An Asst or lower grade school HC.

[Quaoarsking]

one I saw had him 9th with Butch at Auburn ahead of him total package

I don't doubt there are different ways to look at salary that make slightly different lists, but the most important point is that we could give a lot of great coaches a big raise to come here, and one of them would bite.

[EdwardDrayton]

Big ballpark. 335 down the lines and 411 straight away. Need to get the ball down and stop hitting warning track fly balls.

[msstate7]

If we don't go pull Hines right now, fire lemonis postgame

[parabrave]

3 errors now.

[Coursesuper]

WHY IS HINES IN THE LINEUP STILL

Daddy ball.

[Quaoarsking]

lol

Our next coach will be just like the previous ones. An Asst or lower grade school HC.

Georgia is a lower grade school in baseball, and probably the 2nd weakest program in the SEC over the last 10-15 years (ahead of Missouri, and you could argue for Kentucky or Alabama but I wouldn't).

I'm not going to say we can definitely get Johnson because who knows what's important to any specific coach, but we are clearly a stronger program with better fan support, would be willing to give him a raise, and he has coached here before. It takes a huge inferiority complex to say we can't get him or someone like him.

[EdwardDrayton]

Three errors in 1 1/3 innings. WTF

[DEDawg]

Guess bc we don't have anyone better, which is unfortunate

Do we not have anyone who can play 1B? Frei is a clear upgrade bat over Hines

[StateDawg44]

Big ballpark. 335 down the lines and 411 straight away. Need to get the ball down and stop hitting warning track fly balls.

We?ve done the same the previous 2 years. What they gonna do to change it all of a sudden?

[msstate7]

Do we not have anyone who can play 1B? Frei is a clear upgrade bat over Hines

This seems like the perfect time to give it a go. What they gonna do beat us 30-0 instead of 20-0?

[StateDawg44]

This team can?t do shit right

[Saltydog]

Ok, well we aren't going to finish in the top 9 of the league so either way he's not giving us the product we deserve.

[msstate7]

4 errors

[EdwardDrayton]

We shouldn't be looking at missing the tourney 3 of 4 seasons.

Cann's team was better than this while he was chasing P on the phone!

[HoopsDawg]

What the f are we doing? We have 10 guys in the pen.

Well, we know for sure now that this isnt our Saturday guy

[msstate7]

What the f are we doing? We have 10 guys in the pen.

Lemonis is a trash coach. I don't wanna hear about the natty... he won one just like Larry Coker won one at Miami in football.

[EdwardDrayton]

OK, so we're going to dump the $hit tank completely in this game, get it all out of the system and come back fresh tomorrow.

[Coach34]

Lemonis is a trash coach. I don't wanna hear about the natty... he won one just like Larry Coker won one at Miami in football.

Coker won 2

FIFY

[msstate7]

Coker won 2

1, and it was straight down hill after that

[Coursesuper]

Well, we know for sure now that this isnt our Saturday guy

I know you’re gonna say “ no way” but, I think we should have figured that out last week.

[DEDawg]

lol Hunter. This is wild

[EdwardDrayton]

I know you’re gonna say “ no way” but, I think we should have figured that out last week.

Truth

[msstate7]

Why not just use the bottom of the barrel reliever?

[EdwardDrayton]

Now I know how Florida fans felt today against Georgia.

[msstate7]

Will we win 1 sec series this season?

[EdwardDrayton]

I mean losing is one thing but the way we're playing is embarrassing.

[CaptainObvious]

Don't change to the women's basketball game. Dawgettes are winning but okot and Hines must be related. She is 1 for 5 from 1 foot away. Excuse me now 1-6 from 1 foot away!

[StateDawg44]

Gotta start somewhere? This game is bringing back basketball level frustration.

Do you have even an inkling of faith this staff can identify that and do anything about it though?

[HoopsDawg]

Lemonis is a trash coach. I don't wanna hear about the natty... he won one just like Larry Coker won one at Miami in football.

Gene Chizik is the perfect comp.

[EdwardDrayton]

HA! Ace sends one over the 4-1-1. So what the hell do I know. 7-2.

[R2Dawg]

Don't change to the women's basketball game. Dawgettes are winning but okot and Hines must be related. She is 1 for 5 from 1 foot away. Excuse me now 1-6 from 1 foot away!

We can't hit broad side of a barn but we are winning.

[CaptainObvious]

Will we win 1 sec series this season?

Will State win more then 1 SEC game would be my concern!😳😳😳

[BankerDog]

Two things:

1) How can you go through the full portal cycle and not pick up another starter? Failed evaluations again.
2) the day Alabama, Auburn, and UGA got serious about baseball-was a bad day for us. We aren?t pulling the top kids from Alabama or Georgia anymore like we use when those three school didn?t give a crap. Our best players came from AL and GA over the years while the MS kids provided good supporting cast. Heck-we haven?t even gotten the top kids in our own state the last few years. Something has to give.

[DEDawg]

Thank you for making me eat my words HH

[Tater]

Where's the Hunter Hines slander. Did we already quit on our dawgs? Runners on the corners with 2 outs and after a passed ball scores one, hines scores the other and himself.

[Brobi-wan]

Being a State fan just sucks right now. I see no momentum in any of our programs. MBB has at least not gone backwards in the last 3 years.

[R2Dawg]

Wow back in this.

[Tater]

Wow back in this.

Both pens have seemed shoddy. 20 might be the number today and tomorrow.

[StateDawg44]

Totally taking advantage of our catching. They?d be stealing at will with or without Highfill so not sure what I expected.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wow back in this.

Yes! And I'm usually the optimist and even I was beginning to doubt a comeback.

[StateDawg44]

Where's the Hunter Hines slander. Did we already quit on our dawgs? Runners on the corners with 2 outs and after a passed ball scores one, hines scores the other and himself.

5 different players with an error through 17 outs between the two teams. hilarious.

[EdwardDrayton]

That's right. Give us hope just to kick us in the balls.

Right here, he?s left more on base than any other 6 on the roster. Don?t trying to make one big fly stand in for all the others he?s left out there.

[msstate7]

Need a few walks and errors from them now

[Tater]

20 might not be enough. Might need 30.

[EdwardDrayton]

What a crazy game.

[DEDawg]

We are winning this game 8 to 6 without the errors

[CaptainObvious]

Can Pico come in and pitch the rest of the way?

[EdwardDrayton]

Why? With no outs?

[msstate7]

Why! Why!why!

[Tater]

Giving away another out for no reason.

[EdwardDrayton]

That's Lemo's call to send him, yes?!!!?? Just why??!!!???

[msstate7]

[Tater]

We are so talented but are our own worst enemy.

[Coach34]

That's Lemo's call to send him, yes?!!!?? Just why??!!!???

Yes- it was ****ing stupid

[BeardoMSU]

How tf do we have 5 errors, lol?

[Coach34]

That’s why Hines plays.

[EdwardDrayton]

2-1 yesterday. What a difference a day makes.

[CaptainObvious]

I realize he has to play because Highfill got hurt, but nothing irritates me more than a Catcher who cannot pick up the spin or location of a pitch when batting! They see more pitches then any other human being playing the game, yet they struggle with off speed and breaking pitches when batting!

[BeardoMSU]

Tie game!

This game is bananas, lol

[EdwardDrayton]

And we're tied at 10. In the 5th. LOL!!

[Coach34]

yeah Powell couldnt hit my 13 yr old

[StateDawg44]

Woo baby. Not sure why but i think i like our BP better than theirs for this. What a turn around.

[Brobi-wan]

Have to go all in to win here and not worry about tomorrow.

[Coach34]

We're tied now- where did everybody go?

My stream is behind because I'm mainly focused on the team in postseason play: Our Women's BBall. If you need to know how good we're playing - no one else is saying anything.

I finally got up and started doing some work in the yard and listening the 4th. Now I?m just standing in my driveway refusing to go inside watching on my phone.

I know left and right is definitely on the angle.

Lots of these strikes for both teams last night and tonight have looked awfully low. Camera angle and high and low doesn?t get affected that much usually.

That pitch specifically was outside though.

Thanks coach dipshit im glad we waited until game 5 in conference play after a week 1 sweep to tell our guys to stop making errors instead of meticulously coaching these things up over the last 9 months .what a great staff to come up with that revelation. You have some insanely dumb takes on here and known for being wrong more than right but that takes the cake

you have to actually tag a guy. not sure what the ump saw.

Yeah im the one creating a strawman when a small group of posters on here like to make it seem like if you criticize the coaching staff you are not a fan and they are so much holier than thou because they accept the mediocracy and get to play how smart they are when we win a game.

Its almost like most fans are reasonable people who want to see us win but also dont accept the crap we saw the first 3 innings

[msstate7]

This defense is pathetic

[cheewgumm]

I doubt they accepted it. I'm willing to bet they told them to stop it

What a dumbass thing to say

Ha

?Could y?all stop making errors??

Sadly their answer was ?no?

[Ranchdawg]

Here we go just give them the damn game. Base hit then walk the bases loaded. Geesh we are awful.

[Ranchdawg]

Our fans used to be rowdy and into games like these fans at Oklahoma

We've been bad on defense TODAY. But overall we have been pretty good defensively. Blaming the coaches for every ******* thing that happens is low IQ fandom.

[Tater]

wonder if downs did something because this is a weird pinch hit.

[Saltydog]

Maybe it works out but I don't understand pinch hitting Stevens for Downs here. Wouldn't you want the right handed hitter to face the southpaw?

[Tater]

that ball 1 felt like a pitch that was a strike on stallman earlier in the game. camera angles be damned.

[EdwardDrayton]

Left on left pinch hitter that apparently can't bunt?

[DEDawg]

We've been bad on defense TODAY. But overall we have been pretty good defensively. Blaming the coaches for every ******* thing that happens is low IQ fandom.

Thanks for explaining it to me, guess my small IQ brain is still trying to adjust to the new standards of only making the tournament once every 3 years. I better get with the times and give the coaches more slack

[Tater]

made him throw a bunch of pitches so i'll chalk it as a good pinch hit... never mind

[msstate7]

Wish we could turn easy DPs

[EdwardDrayton]

Lemo leaves me cursing under my breath at times.

Left on left pinch hitter that apparently can't bunt?

I'm sure it has to do with splits. But Lemonis makes those calls without enough sample size in a lot of cases. Very strange.

Yeppppppp ****. Should have bunted. Really really head scratching move. If that was baseball motivated then add it to the list.

[Coach34]

Thanks for explaining it to me, guess my small IQ brain is still trying to adjust to the new standards of only making the tournament once every 3 years. I better get with the times and give the coaches more slack

This team will make the tournament. But low IQ fans cant see that

[mparkerfd20]

Just turned on. How the hekl do we have 5 GD errors????

[Tater]

The first 3 innings were a shit show

[EdwardDrayton]

I mean you can't really send Chance against a lefty with a decent move. I mean maybe hit and run but we don't even try that. Seems the play was a pinch who can bunt. But hey I'm just a fan.

[Quaoarsking]

This team will make the tournament. But low IQ fans cant see that

Simply "making the Tournament" has never been good enough at Mississippi State and never will be.

The only question is whether Lemonis is giving us a top 10 performance to match his top 10 salary, and we'll have to evaluate that in May.

[cheewgumm]

I think we are really good.

Our fans just want to bitch about something .

Like

wHY does HUntEr HIneS plAY?

Mostly ridiculous nonsense.

[HoopsDawg]

That's where you needed the pinch hitter.

[Coach34]

and we'll have to evaluate that in May.

Actually- we'll evaluate in June. It's where you finish

[HoopsDawg]

You're not wrong. It's extremely unusual to pinch hit a lefty for righty against a LH pitcher. Unusual is a nice way of saying dumb as sh!t.

[Saltydog]

Which closer blinks first? Williams can be nasty but UT lit him up last weekend.......No doubt we need this one bad..........

[msstate7]

If we get through this inning tied, I think we win

[msstate7]

That's where you needed the pinch hitter.

Do we have a 3rd catcher?

[Tater]

If we get through this inning tied, I think we win

big if.

[CaptainObvious]

So we don't move Chance over then foul off 20 pitches to the left side, but when he puts it in play it is dead straight into the shift right at a guy, and as Our luck would have it Hines smokes a double into the Right center gap that would have scored Chance easily. Hate to say I wish Stevens had struck out, but I wish Stevens would have struck out!

[Activated Alpha]

Does Williams have an out pitch that can get SEC batters?

[EdwardDrayton]

Does Williams have an out pitch that can get SEC batters?

Apparently it's high cheese.

[Coach34]

analytics are anti-bunt. I am too. But I do think its kind of a feel thing. I'm not sure why we didnt let Downs hit vs the Lefty.

You will see me defend Lemon's right to have the job- but I disagree with him probably 50% of the time

[cheewgumm]

On radio they said Steven?s came in field first. So he didn?t actually punch hit.

Maybe he wanted a better arm in right.

[DEDawg]

This team will make the tournament. But low IQ fans cant see that

Yes cant wait to make it as a 3 seed and get bounced and have you do a victory lap about how right you were. Believe it or not I like Mississippi state sports and hope you get to do your victory lap about how smart you are tonight too

[Activated Alpha]

Game over. You can't just keep throwing FB at batters

[StateDawg44]

Yowza

[Saltydog]

There's the issue w/Williams......Lose this one and that will be two weekends in a row that he's gave up dingers late to lose up games.......

[Tater]

oof

[BeardoMSU]

Sigh...

[StateDawg44]

Yes cant wait to make it as a 3 seed and get bounced and have you do a victory lap about how right you were. Believe it or not I like Mississippi state sports and hope you get to do your victory lap about how smart you are tonight too

Regional Final or bust!

[EdwardDrayton]

When you only have one pitch in the bag.

[msstate7]

And with that, our season and the lemonis era ends. We won't recover

[R2Dawg]

Welp ballgame.

Only drawback on fast ball closer Williams - vulnerable to HR.

[Coach34]

And with that, our season and the lemonis era ends. We won't recover

haha. Unless we win tomorrow

[The Federalist Engineer]

Damn, Steve Urkel hits a HR

[R2Dawg]

When you only have one pitch in the bag.

He's got more than one pitch but a fast ball pitcher is more likely to give up the HR. Sims did it too.

[msstate7]

haha. Unless we win tomorrow

They could, but I doubt it. We just aren't good. Our pitching and defense are horrible

[Tater]

And with that, our season and the lemonis era ends. We won't recover

laying on the reverse jinx a little thick lol.

let me see a third ace homer

[EdwardDrayton]

So he can throw a breaking ball. Shoulda used it sooner.

[Coach34]

They still have trash pitching tomorrow

[CaptainObvious]

Well at least we are still ahead of Flarda and the Texas Milkmen!

[The Federalist Engineer]

And with that, our season and the lemonis era ends. We won't recover

Gotta start talking to Wes Johnson's agent. We can build him a house with the light switches and door handles about 1 foot lower. Even a customized small dimension golf cart.

[msstate7]

laying on the reverse jinx a little thick lol.

let me see a third ace homer

Hopefully, we staring 1-8 in the face

[msstate7]

They still have trash pitching tomorrow

So do we with only we throw trash defense out there too. We have to win this game

[StateDawg44]

Man, it sure does help to have a closer. Not just a hope this works.

[EdwardDrayton]

He's got more than one pitch but a fast ball pitcher is more likely to give up the HR. Sims did it too.

Even someone who relies on their fastball needs to seed another pitch. Especially at this level. He threw a great back door breaking ball for the third out. Shoulda used it sooner is all.

[HoopsDawg]

They still have trash pitching tomorrow

We aren't a good baseball team.

[Coach34]

Gotta start talking to Wes Johnson's agent. We can build him a house with the light switches and door handles about 1 foot lower. Even a customized small dimension golf cart.

dude it aint happening- he has a better job. He can recruit easily there. He will be there 15 years and make them a Blue Blood. So much talent in that area

[Tater]

'atem balls hurt

lol why did we pinch hit for sawyer. lemo this is just weird.

[HoopsDawg]

Gotta start talking to Wes Johnson's agent. We can build him a house with the light switches and door handles about 1 foot lower. Even a customized small dimension golf cart.

We probably can't get a sitting SEC head coach but we could definitely get Josh Elander.

[State82]

How many baseball games are won with five 17ing errors??

[msstate7]

Hammer. Nail. Coffin. Lemonis is done. Thank God.

[EdwardDrayton]

It pains me to say it but we really did not deserve to win this one.

[Coach34]

Win tomorrow and all is well

[CaptainObvious]

So not only did we find a way to let their Closer get the win but he only had to throw 13 pitches so he will be available again tomorrow! SMDH!

[Leroy Jenkins]

How many baseball games are won with five 17ing errors??

one less

[EdwardDrayton]

How many baseball games are won with five 17ing errors??

To go with the other miscues

[EdwardDrayton]

Win tomorrow and all is well

Yep. Just play a clean game without all the miscues. Criminy.

[msstate7]

Win tomorrow and all is well

And when we don't you'll be saying all we need is a win vs SC at 1-8

[bulldogcountry1]

You will see me defend Lemon's right to have the job- but I disagree with him probably 50% of the time

That is a huge problem. This is baseball. There?s a reason why anyone who knows the game knows certain coaching decisions are no-brainers. Lemonis does dumb crap and goes against this all the time, and his success rate is very low.

[DEDawg]

To go with the other miscues

It?s the little things. This coaching staff just doesnt care about them or doesnt know how to address them. Not sure which is worse

[Ranchdawg]

We have beaten 2 ranked teams this season. Two! I mean really this is pitiful. So sad to see our program so bad. We had 5 freaking errors tonight.

[Coursesuper]

That should have been a blowout, had 17 hits and scored 11 runs. 5 errors and at least 2 more that cost us runs killed it. Valiant fight back, kids showed a lot of sac. That said you can not give away outs or miss on double play balls, that is going to lose every time.

[HoopsDawg]

It?s the little things. This coaching staff just doesnt care about them or doesnt know how to address them. Not sure which is worse

It's hard to say exactly what's wrong with Lemonis but this is probably it. Just lack of attention to details in all facets of the program.

[Coach34]

And when we don't you'll be saying all we need is a win vs SC at 1-8

and when we do I'll be riding your ass
