Memphis game

[parabrave]

Well surprise surprise an Error in the MSU half of the 1st by a 2nd baseman. Freis back at Leadoff. 0=0 BTM of 1st. Why are we playing at Memphis anyway???

[parabrave]

Spoke too asoon. Catcher make a throwing error. Thats 2 now but who is counting.

[BeardoMSU]

2 errors, lol. It's like we just don't gaf.

But the announcer said we are a good fielding team. Kinda sloughed off on that pre game deep dive analysis today

[magrooder]

That was one of the worst at bats you could have

[EdwardDrayton]

But we're talented. *****

He's probably 2 buckets deep from Silky's**

[magrooder]

I don't know what silky's is, but if I were him I would be.

[Thick]

Gatlin with a diving effort about 2 feet too short?.funny!

[EdwardDrayton]

I don't know what silky's is, but if I were him I would be.

Irish pub on Beale Street

[parabrave]

Being no hit through 3. Team don't give a shit.

[parabrave]

If we lose this means the team has quit. Lemon needs to be fired tomorrow, 0-3 now, SC will sweep us.

[Skydawg1]

We may be the worst team on our schedule. Memphis had lost 8 in a row before tonight, South Carolina struggling with Presbyterian.

[parabrave]

Good HR by HH.

[EdwardDrayton]

Good HR by HH.

And that was a first class swing.

[cheewgumm]

Hines comes through


Again

[Thick]

Memphis just stealing second at will. 3 stolen bases already. Highfill?s arm just doesn?t seem very strong. Highfill?s defense is at least one steal was off of a breaking ball in the dirt. Just stole 3rd

[Skydawg1]

Yes, the book on Highfill is "run at will". He's supposed to make up for it with his bat.

[cheewgumm]

We strike out like crazy

[Coursesuper]

We strike out like crazy

No Way, really?

[EdwardDrayton]

Good thing Memphis is a slow learner after 486 consecutive fastballs.

[cheewgumm]

No Way, really?

Uncalled for . Come on man.

[Coursesuper]

Uncalled for . Come on man.

Look we do strike out a lot, but we gotta have fun with it somehow. It wasn’t meant as a dig at you, just some gallows humor around here.

Thanks. Got ya.

[EdwardDrayton]

A SullyStache SMASH!! Tie game.

[magrooder]

Tied up in bottom 6th still up to bat

'Gallows humor' is the perfect phrase for it too, Course. It's gotten so bad we have nothing left but to laugh.

This is a perfect example of why Lemonis has to go. First, Noah Sullivan is not a starter. He's just not. Not even a mid-week guy. He's a mop up guy for when you have a big lead or a big deficit. Second, the errors continue. Two in the first and we're lucky there wasn't a third on the overthrow into center field by Sullivan on the pick off. Don't even get me started on the offense. Our offense tonight is about as effective as shooting pool with a piece of rope.

And then there's the stolen bases allowed.

[magrooder]

We haven't had a decent catcher since Tanner.

[Thick]

How many strikes does Gatlin Sanders have to take in a ballgame? How many first strike pitches does he take? It?s got to be the same as number of bats! Every pitcher that pays attention to our scouting report knows Sanders will take strikes before he will swing at any.

[EdwardDrayton]

That was just plain filthy.

[EdwardDrayton]

Good thing Memphis sucks so bad at the plate.

[bigbub50]

We are so back! Time to turn this thing around. Not canceling my Omaha reservations yet.

Hey! I've won a lot of pool games with a piece of rope... and pleased a lot of women with the same philosophy. Oh course this is April 1st too, so... :-)

Guys! Guys! Guys! You Play To Win The Game! The Maroons won the Game!
Croomonis must have had quite a pre-game speech! Slugged 2 Solo HRs! Banged out 7 hits! Against a powerful midweek foe! 2 years ago State would have lost this game! Give credit where credit is due! McPherson and Simmons shut down those big bats!

Ha! Yep! How we like to say here on the Gulf coast, Memphis couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

[maroonmania]

Will take the win but only 6 hits against a midweek Memphis pitcher? Not great.

And Memphis is a very poor hitting team. Another very poor showing against a very inferior team. But hey we need to give him another twenty games, you know, just to make sure.

He gets the dignity of resigning / retiring and not getting fired mid season because he won our only Natty. I said early on in Feb, that if we were 2-7 or worse to start SEC play then just move on with your spring. 1-8. He's done and there's not much to be positive about.

Next sport up. Baseball is just a social club this year.

He happened to be the one on the bucket when we won our only natty. Sadly Mississippi State has become plagued by painfully ineffectual leadership both internally and externally.

Early on it seemed that the entire order was trying to hit fingers. Dam near every out until HH HR was caught on the warning track.

[Todd4State]

I'll take the win at this point. This was a game we could not afford to lose if we want to keep our slim hopes alive of going to a regional. Not that I think we will make it but losing to a RPI 200 team could have been the coup de grace.

Huge weekend for Lemonis this weekend coming up. Basically has to win the series to have a prayer to come back next year. Really feels like it could be a pivotal series one way or the other.
