Okie game 3

[parabrave]

Lineup out Hines back to 5th spot. Ligon on the Mound. Let's hope that HH has turned the corner and Cupp took extra fielding practice.

[Saltydog]

If this guy pitching is anything like his brother it could be a long day today.

[Thick]

Lead of walk!

[msstate7]

Easy 123 for us, and leadoff walk for them. Sigh

[EdwardDrayton]

If this guy pitching is anything like his brother it could be a long day today.

He's not

[The Federalist Engineer]

Ligon walks the first dude and looks shitty

Down 0-1 early

[Saltydog]

I couldn't tell from that first inning. He mowed us down easily.

[EdwardDrayton]

Is there anything more detrimental in baseball than a leadoff walk. smh

[Thick]

They are going to steal all day with Ligon?s high lead kick. Plus, he has no consistency throwing strikes?.walk 2 in the inning and they have scored and don?t have a hit.

[parabrave]

Jeez. Nice shift.

[DEDawg]

I dont care what mental gymnastics some say to defend this staff. Absolutely unacceptable we did not find another starter in the portal. I dont care about Starkville sucks excuses I keep hearing

[parabrave]

And we survive the screwup at 3rd. Top of 2nd 1-0 them

[Thick]

Three stolen bases in the first inning.

[DawgFromOxford]

After 1 inning: MSU-0. Oklahoma-1 run on 0 hits.

[parabrave]

Lineup out Hines back to 5th spot. Ligon on the Mound. Let's hope that HH has turned the corner and Cupp took extra fielding practice.

Should've kept him at 7,.

[mparkerfd20]

This umpire giving a foot inside

[msstate7]

This umpire giving a foot inside

And yet, we walk guys

[parabrave]

ball finally bounces our way.

[msstate7]

You gotta wear that? You can't hit

[DawgFromOxford]

Powell looks so uncomfortable swinging the bat. He's gotta wear that first pitch and get on

[msstate7]

Powell coulda go on base, but he moved. I know that woulda hurt, but damn dude... you're a trash hitter, and we got to have the win

[Activated Alpha]

I miss Logan Tanner

[EdwardDrayton]

Wouldn't mind Carson coming high and tight to this first guy.

[Ranchdawg]

I dont care what mental gymnastics some say to defend this staff. Absolutely unacceptable we did not find another starter in the portal. I dont care about Starkville sucks excuses I keep hearing

That’s correct. All it is excuses. Send your kids to Baton Rouge and they might not make it home. Who in the heck wants to go to places like Fayetteville or Norman, Ok.

[msstate7]

Do we have another catcher?

[mparkerfd20]

It is completely unacceptable how bad our catcher and defense is. Inexcusable

[parabrave]

I miss Logan Tanner

I miss big hit MaCnamee. He was money with RISP.

[DawgFromOxford]

Oh look another walk that comes around to score

[msstate7]

Just a terribly coached team. Now you got another guy in scoring position

[magrooder]

Powell with the third base throw out.

[parabrave]

And a blind squirrel finds a nut/ Now since we have averted disaster twice so far let's gets some runs in while the gods are smiling.

[EdwardDrayton]

We better get our $hit together. We keep playing like yesterday and today and we won't even make the SEC tourney.

[Activated Alpha]

Powell, that's how you take a HBP

[EdwardDrayton]

These Witherspoon boys like to come hot inside. Where the 17 is our response!!!!

[Saltydog]

Everybody makes the SEC tourney this year if I'm not mistaken. It's a one and done tourney format.

[Activated Alpha]

Delete. I'm a dumbass. don't listen to me

[EdwardDrayton]

Everybody makes the SEC tourney this year if I'm not mistaken. It's a one and done tourney format.

Think it's only twelve teams unless it was changed recently.

[mparkerfd20]

Both safe. Interference even if he stepped on bag

[magrooder]

Did not see that being overturned

[EdwardDrayton]

Waste of a challenge

Yep

[Activated Alpha]

Yep

Hah. I'm pleasantly surprised. didn't see it being overturned

[EdwardDrayton]

Hah. I'm pleasantly surprised. didn't see it being overturned

All gifts are kindly accepted.

[Thick]

Great sac bunt Chance!

[parabrave]

Good hit by Reese ties it up.

[DEDawg]

Let?s goooo. Reese is having a great weekend

[msstate7]

Huge hit

[EdwardDrayton]

Have yourself a weekend Ace!!

[DawgFromOxford]

Reese you beautiful human

[TopDawg]

Everybody makes the SEC tourney this year if I'm not mistaken. It's a one and done tourney format.

That is correct.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wow. That wind coming from left must be fierce.

[parabrave]

And HH finally gets one through for an RBI/ 3-2.

[Activated Alpha]

Hines having a great weekend! Keep it up son!!!

[DawgFromOxford]

Hunter Hines with a 2 strike 2 out base hit to score a run!

[mparkerfd20]

Holy f'ing shit HH got a hit in a crucial situation

[msstate7]

Hines! That was great

[EdwardDrayton]

That is correct.

Yep. New format this year. I missed that. Good for us the way we're playing.

[cheewgumm]

Hines will end up with 20 HRs this year.


And our fans would have bitches about it every step of the way:

[EdwardDrayton]

Okie fans gettin' surly.

[Activated Alpha]

Joe Powell, if you can please not move out a HBP situation here that would be great

[EdwardDrayton]

Powell should never be allowed to hold a bat.

[DawgFromOxford]

Time for Powell to just crowd the plate and hope he gets hit from here on out.

[Ranchdawg]

Good job dogs! Would’ve really liked to pickup a couple more runs.

[EdwardDrayton]

Good job dogs! Would’ve really liked to pickup a couple more runs.

Or a dozen

[Ranchdawg]

Okie fans gettin' surly.

They have all weekend. Plus their players are acting like they are entitled.

[EdwardDrayton]

Outstanding Karson!

[EdwardDrayton]

They have all weekend. Plus their players are acting like they are entitled.

Yes. I want this win BAD.

[Saltydog]

WORD......The next one that squared around to bunt I"d try to throw it between his eyes..........

[EdwardDrayton]

WORD......The next one that squared around to bunt I"d try to throw it between his eyes..........

Karson finally pushed that last batter back and got him on his heels a little. He was wasn't so aggressive on the outer half after that and grounded weakly out.

[parabrave]

Dam HH with another one. He might not want to leave Norman. Sometimes getting moved in the order works wonders.

[EdwardDrayton]

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Let's see how deep this Okie staff goes. Time to rip and run!

[Ranchdawg]

Wow Hines has two hits and a rbi! Can barely believe it.

[EdwardDrayton]

Dam HH with another one. He might not want to leave Norman. Sometimes getting moved in the order works wonders.

Hunter was determined to be better at the plate. He just had games up until recently where he was finding the center of the field but wasn't making great contact.

[R2Dawg]

OK time to put some separation right here.

[EdwardDrayton]

OK time to put some separation right here.

Foot on the neck separation!!

[Activated Alpha]

Shit. We are the absolute worst with bases loaded

[R2Dawg]

Not good, 7 hits to 1 and only a one run lead. Reminds me of a lot of other losses this year. Just can't do stuff like that.

[DawgFromOxford]

twice this game we've had bases loaded, 0 runs to show for it.

[mparkerfd20]

I hate freaking double plays with bases loaded

[EdwardDrayton]

Walks and LOBs. Makin' my head hurt.

[Thick]

Right on cue?.HR! Tied up

[Ranchdawg]

Strike out, pop up, long fly ball, anything but a double play. Wow!

[SaintDawg]

This team couldn’t base hit their way out of a shithouse. Choke up on the bat and shorten your ******* swing. **** me, it isnt that hard.

[CaptainObvious]

Wow! We roll a DP ball with bases loaded and their guy hits a first pitch HR immediately after our Punch and Judy guys count get a run home twice with loaded bases!

[Activated Alpha]

We knew 3 runs weren't going to be enough. I don't know what or who we have to sacrifice to get this bases loaded 0 runs jinx off of us, but I'm open to suggestions. I'm beginning to think it's just Lemonis

[parabrave]

Welp squandering scoring opps always comes back to haunt you.

[CaptainObvious]

This team couldn’t base hit their way out of a shithouse. Choke up on the bat and shorten your ******* swing. **** me, it isnt that hard.

Actually what Sanders did. He spread out not to sr
Stride and choked up off the handle! Somebody on this team needs to become a true leader and chew some ass and if the pussies cry about it tell em to find their own way home from Norman!

[CaptainObvious]

They could do this "heckling commercial" to our baseball team and it would be true!

[parabrave]

I hate freaking double plays with bases loaded

Yep just hit the ball into the air with them loaded and 1 out.

[Thick]

Third appearance this weekend with Boden, surely we know what to expect.

[Thick]

We got some guys that are terrified of getting hit. Cohen would have come unglued with this squad.

[EdwardDrayton]

Third appearance this weekend with Boden, surely we know what to expect.

One would think but we choose to 'go gentle into that good night'.

[EdwardDrayton]

We got some guys that are terrified of getting hit. Cohen would have come unglued with this squad.

And Oklahoma has used that to their favor in all three games.

[parabrave]

Well there is the 1st error. Now it hurts.

[msstate7]

Another error.

[DawgFromOxford]

And here we go trying to steal outs with Ligon

[BeardoMSU]

Little league shit. Mother of God.

[Ranchdawg]

How long have our guys been playing this game! Geesh! I have seen middle school play better ball. And it’s not that Ok. is that good.

[EdwardDrayton]

Wow. So many mistakes this weekend.

[StateDawg44]

There we go trying to steal outs for no reason. Plenty of BP left

[Cooterpoot]

Just a lazy ass pathetic fielding team and that's a reflection of the coaches and how this program is struggling

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah that's game over

[DawgFromOxford]

Perfect example of why Lemonis needs to go. Ligon starts the 6th inning with 89 pitches thrown, immediately gives up 1 run on 2 hits without recording an out and then we pull him. WHY SEND HIM BACK OUT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

[Cooterpoot]

Perfect example of why Lemonis needs to go. Ligon starts the 6th inning with 89 pitches thrown, immediately gives up 1 run on 2 hits without recording an out and then we pull him. WHY SEND HIM BACK OUT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

That's not Lemonis, that's Parker but another error didn't help either

[EdwardDrayton]

Our fielding percentage is falling faster than a fat kid eatin' a cupcake.

[Activated Alpha]

If you're a relief pitcher that can't pitch strikes then you don't need to be on this team

[BeardoMSU]

Here comes the total collapse, lol.

[EdwardDrayton]

HBP to load the bases. Unbelievable.

[EdwardDrayton]

Surely we will turn a DP with the bases loaded. *****

[msstate7]

I'm not gonna be mad either way today....

If we win, that's great... winning is fun.

If we lose, lemonis is done. Starting 1-8 is just too big a hill to climb

[DawgFromOxford]

Nevermind I see why we tried to stretch Ligon

[Cooterpoot]

We chose not to sign a catcher over the guys we have, think about how stupid that decision was

[Ranchdawg]

Lemonis gets kids from Indiana. Good ole boy at its finest!

[msstate7]

My God, that turn was so slow... that's totally unacceptable for sec

ETA... feed, I should say

[RezDog7]

Where's that dumbass 34 to tell us this is normal.

[Saltydog]

Game / Set / Match

[Coursesuper]

We chose not to sign a catcher over the guys we have, think about how stupid that decision was

Agree here for sure.

[parabrave]

Anybody else in the pen?

[parabrave]

Hey Pruitt Hines just saved your ass.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We are making them believe Friday night was a fluke when in reality we should
Be sweeping them

[StateDawg44]

Hopefully we don?t trot Pruett back out there.

[magrooder]

Can anyone play their position? That's twice that I can remember a pitcher not covering first on a grounder to Hines

[Cooterpoot]

Parker missed in the portal in a big way

[The Federalist Engineer]

Wes Johnson is going to need to fix this little league defense

This is the worst of my time watching MSU.

Time to get back to basics.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Wes Johnson is going to need to fix this little league defense

This is the worst of my time watching MSU.

Time to get back to basics.

I think we could get Wes Johnson if our AD was actually not a ghost

[EdwardDrayton]

How did we recruit players that make so many mistakes?!!??!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Parker missed in the portal in a big way

Pruitt is marginal. Texas got the decent Indiana State guy. Mannell is busted too.

The freshmen are keepers but the rest need to be replaced immediately

[DawgFromOxford]

We are making them believe Friday night was a fluke when in reality we should
Be sweeping them

I want that to be true but it's just not. This team has been losing games all year to opponents that have remotely any talent. It's who we are this point. We are losing to Oklahoma because they are playing better baseball than us, not because they got lucky

[The Federalist Engineer]

I think we could get Wes Johnson if our AD was actually not a ghost

Yeah, he will get us a baseball Neck Beard, not a real coach.

Maybe Greg Byrne can help us get a coach. Help us out.

[EdwardDrayton]

I want that to be true but it's just not. This team has been losing games all year to opponents that have remotely any talent. It's who we are this point. We are losing to Oklahoma because they are playing better baseball than us, not because they got lucky

'Better' in the sense they're not making mistakes but we're not winning because of ours.

[EdwardDrayton]

Teams are posting ridiculous hits-to-runs ratios against us.

[RezDog7]

MSU missed at head coach in a big way

FIFY

[EdwardDrayton]

So much for thinking getting into their bullpen would be an advantage for us today.

[StateDawg44]

So much for thinking getting into their bullpen would be an advantage for us today.

Not only that we saw the same guy 3 days in a row and he shut us down each day

[Cooterpoot]

We won't fire Lemonis midseason but after we start 1-8 the noise will be loud

[msstate7]

Them taking out highfill probably won them the series. We should give one of them a broke cheek bone as a parting gift

[Ranchdawg]

For real LSUx is going to annihilate these clowns.

[EdwardDrayton]

We won't fire Lemonis midseason but after we start 1-8 the noise will be loud

Twenty-four games in with thirty-one left. We won't fire him in season but he's going to keep losing supporters because of the way we are losing games.

[HoopsDawg]

Where is Charlie Foster?

[msstate7]

Twenty-four games in with thirty-one left. We won't fire him in season but he's going to keep losing supporters because of the way we are losing games.

Who in the hell is supporting him at this point?

[DawgFromOxford]

Them taking out highfill probably won them the series. We should give one of them a broke cheek bone as a parting gift

False. Playing like trash in the field and leaving a small army on the base path is what did us in.

Fact is we don't have the talent we need in certain positions, add that we don't do enough of the small things correctly and you get the 2025 MSU Bulldogs

[Saltydog]

Croach say their pitching sux with their over 5 ERA.......Sounds like our hitting is shit..........Next weekend will be a bloodbath and we're staring down the barrell of a 1-8 SEC start yet he defends Chris Chizik.......It's TIME to start the search.........

[parabrave]

Where is Charlie Foster?

where is henderson.

[EdwardDrayton]

Who in the hell is supporting him at this point?

Most if not all probably have moved to the middle. Meaning not supporting but not ready to deep six him just yet. But all probably have serious doubts he can pull this out of the fire now.

[Ranchdawg]

Wow Chance what a competitive at bat

[EdwardDrayton]

False. Playing like trash in the field and leaving a small army on the base path is what did us in.

Fact is we don't have the talent we need in certain positions, add that we don't do enough of the small things correctly and you get the 2025 MSU Bulldogs

Pretty much tells the tale unfortunately.

[HoopsDawg]

where is henderson.

Who is Henderson?

What's the SB total last 2 games? 14?

[EdwardDrayton]

No spinning it any more. This team's season is in major jeopardy given it's performance to date.

[msstate7]

No spinning it any more. This team's season is in major jeopardy given its performance to date.

It's over.

[DawgFromOxford]

What's the SB total last 2 games? 14?

Sure. But Highfill maybe throws out 1 or 2 of those guys. Oklahoma steals bases, that's what they do. Highfill wasn't going to change that

[Sooneralum2012]

We steal bases and attempt steals at an unreal rate so I wouldn’t be concerned about that.

[Saltydog]

IT's TIME........BTW, Oklahoma is decent but not great. They're not nearly as good as their ranking. They'll take some beatings in league play against the better teams.

[msstate7]

Sure. But Highfill maybe throws out 1 or 2 of those guys. Oklahoma steals bases, that's what they do. Highfill wasn't going to change that

And I suppose their bats are equal...
Powell 1-8, 6 k

[EdwardDrayton]

Sure. But Highfill maybe throws out 1 or 2 of those guys. Oklahoma steals bases, that's what they do. Highfill wasn't going to change that

That's certainly one of the positions we seem to have whiffed on. One who is not a very good receiver and is a marginal hitter versus the other who maybe is slightly better defensively but should not be allowed to ever hold a bat.

[EdwardDrayton]

IT's TIME........BTW, Oklahoma is decent but not great. They're not nearly as good as their ranking. They'll take some beatings in league play against the better teams.

Yes. Think this is accurate.

[parabrave]

Who is Henderson?

See Canizzaro/

[Cooterpoot]

Sure. But Highfill maybe throws out 1 or 2 of those guys. Oklahoma steals bases, that's what they do. Highfill wasn't going to change that

Highfill has been terrible too

[parabrave]

Well see what happens when we face pitchers who cvan throw something else besides heat belt high.

[Brobi-wan]

Welp, guess I’m going to cancel my Hulu subscription until football season. Geez.

[Offshore Dawg]

That was great, dawgs didn't get.swept *****

[EdwardDrayton]

Welp, guess I’m going to cancel my Hulu subscription until football season. Geez.

I'm going to hang but it's painful to watch. I've always been an eternal optimist which is excruciating being a State fan.

[bulldawg989]

Who in the hell is supporting him at this point?

C34 and his handlers...if he's as plugged in as he claims to be then he's part of the problem. It has been said on this board that there are those who love their "in" with MSU athetics more than they want MSU athetics to succeed.

C34 does what he's told, go tote that water for Lemonis, defend his incompetance despite the piss-poor product he produces every year.

[EdwardDrayton]

That was great, dawgs didn't get.swept *****

I mean that is what we've always said, get at least two at home and one on the road??? Sure doesn't help when we got swept at home last weekend though. And now we go to Baton Rouge.

[BankerDog]

Did they feed our players at least?

[EdwardDrayton]

Did they feed our players at least?

Well played Banker. Even I could not help but chuckle at that one.

[Todd4State]

C34 does what he's told, go tote that water for Lemonis, defend his incompetance despite the piss-poor product he produces every year.

Some people have ins no matter who the coach is and that has been consistent through multiple coaching staffs.

That isn't going to change if Lemonis is our coach or not so there is no reason for blind loyalty.

[parabrave]

Did they feed our players at least?

No but the Busdriver probably had a food trailer hooked up behind the bus with a Other team only banner in it.

[maroonmania]

I seriously just can't even watch this team anymore. They just aren't worth emotionally investing in. 5 errors basically just gave the game away yesterday. That's little league stuff. Today we only scored in one inning in a Sunday game. Now 2-9 against real competition. We only seem to score well in games our pitching and defense is crap and don't score in games where our pitching and defense is pretty good. In other words, we seem to do whatever it takes to lose. MSU sports is getting tough to stomach these days.

[Saltydog]

I've got season tix but I can't stomach much more of this shit. I'm probably going to skip out a lot of weekends and I may not even give the tix away. Just let them go empty. Nobody in the stands will make people take notice. I've always have a lot going on in the spring but I gave up a lot of stuff over the years to get to the games. No more. I'm tired of the losing and incompetence. Such is the life of a MSU fan but we are mired in a funk in all of the major sports. It's just not fun anymore and my contributions will reflect that.

[The Federalist Engineer]

No but the Busdriver probably had a food trailer hooked up behind the bus with an Other team only banner in it.

Really? Bullshit like that is happening? That's so womanly and pathetic.

That's like hearing about Polk sending letters to LSU players.
