USCe thread. Lets get those Cocks,

[parabrave]

Freis leadoff. Hines 4th and Downs 5th. No problems with that although HH was doing great at the 5 spot. But if downs can't get it going then he has to put someone behind HH to protect him/

Over/under on errors 2

[EdwardDrayton]

Make me proud Dawgs!!!

[parabrave]

Well an early awcrap/ 0-1.

[parabrave]

And Sanders doesn't screw up the throw and we get out 3,

[EdwardDrayton]

South Carolina is like looking in the mirror.

[parabrave]

Hunter comes through and SC screws up and 2-1.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hunter with the oppo ribbis!! No doubt about it. He has found himself at the plate.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Got to sweep this if we want to stay in any kind of post season hunt

[magrooder]

Pico plays the grounder for the DP

[Coach34]

Hines got his 1st hit to LF since Little League

[EdwardDrayton]

Mainieri has to be mumbling to himself why did I come out of retirement.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hines got his 1st hit to LF since Little League

He really has worked hard to make the adjustment though.

[EdwardDrayton]

And there it is, the self pity graphic. We've lost a lot of games but they've all been close.

[EdwardDrayton]

Pico not quite as sharp tonight but he's hanging tough.

[parabrave]

Son of a B*((O. Dam didn't think Pico would leave a hanger over the plate/

[parabrave]

Hey Ed KC Hunt is pitching in Pensacola Sunday. Run on over and cheer him on.

[parabrave]

Pico really needs to get this out.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hey Ed KC Hunt is pitching in Pensacola Sunday. Run on over and cheer him on.

That's perfect para; thanks for letting me know. One of the last places Christopher and I ate with Carol before she passed was the Fish House. He and I can catch the game and eat dinner there after. Good stuff.

And it's AA ball so you can get a autograph before the game. Just ask him about what he thinks about the current disposition of the program

[EdwardDrayton]

Wow. Scobey can pick it at 3rd.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pull Davis out. We are about give up a 5 spot with this dude.

[Offshore Dawg]

Wow, SEC game 6th inning 22 post. Nobody gives a shit anymore. Look at it on the positive side they will at least make the SEC tournament since it takes everybody.

[magrooder]

Just give a run away.

[Activated Alpha]

I mean I don't blame the pitchers when they feel like they have to strike out every batter because our defense shits the bed on a regular basis

[Activated Alpha]

And another error on Cupp

Sounds like no one is prepared and in the zone. Lemonball at its finest.

[Cowbell]

This team could have a 10 run lead and I wouldn't feel good about it

Typical Lemonis team. Finding ways to lose games.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Wow, SEC game 6th inning 22 post. Nobody gives a shit anymore. Look at it on the positive side they will at least make the SEC tournament since it takes everybody.

There are two smokeshows by the left handed batter box, I'm mostly watching them. Not sure if the lady on the left is a full smokeshow but could be.

Update, they left

These 2 teams should be playing in the u12 tourney in Southaven! They might give a couple of 12 year old teams some competition! All the 12 year olds would have to do is put the bat on their shoulder and take pitches. It would be a merrigoround the bases for them!

[Offshore Dawg]

At least the brave broke out of their slumber in a big way. The Miami Marlins just the right thing for what ails you. Gueess the SEC is saying the same about the Diamond Dogs.

Lose this series and he needs to go. National Championship be damned, he needs to go Monday.

[EdwardDrayton]

Unfortunately that's where we seem to be. But I'm the eternal optimist. We have outs left in this game.

[EdwardDrayton]

Lose this series and he needs to go. National Championship be damned, he needs to go Monday.

Folks keep saying it's not gonna happen. I'll drone once again. We seemingly are plagued by painfully ineffectual leadership both internally and externally.

[Cowbell]

Lose this series and he needs to go. National Championship be damned, he needs to go Monday.

If we lose this series and he isn't fired Monday, then I'm no longer a Selmon supporter. This fanbase is only going yo make this harder on Lemonis family so it's respectful to him to make the separation quick and decisive.

Must win series for his job. If we lose tonight he has to win 5 of the next 6

[Cowbell]

We owe it to Pico to move him to Sundays so he can earn some Ws

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im sure Lemonis is a great guy, great father and in the right situations he can succeed. When he has generational talent and leaders. But he needs to go, and he needs to go Monday. We have wasted enough time. I honestly believe if you do it now you have a better chance to spark the team. And if not, who cares we are already 1-8. Lemonis cannot sell anything to recruits right now that he can win

[BuckyIsAB****]

But I firmly believe Keenum and Selmon are so bad and out of touch they wont do shit about it. I have never seen a leader fall so hard and so fast the way Keenum has

[Mjoelner34]

Whenever we tap our chests, it's like we are waving a white flag and I cringe

It's almost like we look forward to doing it.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Had Mershon played his Junior year, MSU would have 4 more SEC wins.

Do great programs normally lose 18th round Sophomores?

[EdwardDrayton]

Clearly the book on us is pitch high and tight with impunity. We are so soft.

[Cooterpoot]

Who was tried to tell me Cupp and Highfill were going to be great after last season?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Who was tried to tell me Cupp and Highfill were going to be great after last season?

Highfill was a much better RB at Madison than he?s been ever been as a catcher

Must hold the deficit at two to have a reasonable chance.

[Cowbell]

But I firmly believe Keenum and Selmon are so bad and out of touch they wont do shit about it. I have never seen a leader fall so hard and so fast the way Keenum has
Keenum is but a politician. Has been since I've known him.

If the man had any pride he would just step down and quit embarrassing himself a team that can't even do the most fundamental things right.

It's on Keenum and Selmon now. If they can't get this done and done now, we need new leadership from top to bottom, both internally and externally.

[DawgFromOxford]

Decided to save my posting to the end of the game but sure enough same old song and dance. Errors leading to runs. Unproductive at bats when it mattered, got shutout for 8 innings. I?m No longer angry at Lemonis and the team after last weekend, I?ve accepted that it?s over and now just waiting for the end to come.

It will get done but they are going to do it when the season ends. They will, OUT OF ALL LIKELIHOOD, not pull the trigger til then. Now, we get embarrassed the next two weekends and that could change.

At this point what is firing him going to do? Cheese and Jake/Parker will quit as well because they have no chance at the head job and you are left with GAs because Rodeheaver with Baseball Ops is a Lemonis guy too. This is not a Cann situation where he stepped into a job with Cohen assts.

And please to god no one suggest some stupid shit like Polk coming out of retirement to coach. He can barely 17 walk, much less coach.

This is a bad take. Our assistants are bound by contract and need a chance to bolster their resume as they will be moving along most likely. Lame ducks are dangerous. Anyone that manages people and HR know this. Plus, this is going to get ugly. The boos started tonight and they will worsen until he is gone. Needs to be quick and clean. This ain't rocket science.

Our assts will be offered the option to leave as well when Lemonis is fired. Just as assts are always given that opportunity. Maybe Jake decides that he will steer this thing home since he has been here longest but I can promise you Parker is on the first plane out of here though. If he is not getting the full time job.

Do you know if there Is a monetary difference if we pay the staff to finish out the vs paying the buyout?

[EdwardDrayton]

We have given Lemonis ample opportunity. After two years in 2022 amd 2023 of nine conferences wins each year, we gave him a natty pass to come back and show us something. He made a regional and got bounced. So we kindly gave him another pass because MAYBE he's turned it back around. Bad move. 1-9 now and there are no more gratuities. Time to go. Not another pass to lame duck skate the rest of this year.

Wants to be and capable of doing it are two completely different questions. Does he want to? Absolutely. Could he lead a program like ours? Big question mark. HUGE QUESTION MARK.

Not a huge one but we would have to negotiate buyouts for all of them. Parker is going to be a stiff buyout to eat.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Lemon fans worry not, I don't MSU will do anything about the baseball situation.

I think it's far more likely the present MSU athletic administrators just destroy baseball and fire us fans. At 15% shrinkage per year, in 3 more years, they won't have too many people to give a damn. They'll just have the effeminate and compliant "we believe" crowd.

Nah. They'll go with Coggin. It makes more sense.

I think I would like him better between the two even without the MSU background. Coggin has full control of Georgia's offense under Wes who is a pitching guy. In the meantime Elander is a hitting guy working under a hitting guy. The MSU background makes it a slam dunk.

Biggest thing is people that think we are about to pony up for a big name -.... we won't..... and to be fair couldn't get one if we would

Shit. That's all I ever hear from anyone is how we won't pay.

[Todd4State]

Not true. But at this point ...

So what is it? Somewhere in the middle like everything else in life?

No way to know if he would have won the NC but its obvious things would have been much better long term if Schlossnagel had actually taken our job. Heck, likely even better if Henderson had been given the job. Its amazing how poorly all the coaching choices Cohen made as MSU's AD eventually turned out. Cann (scandal), NMP (bad coach and died), Moorhead (bad coach fired), Leach (good coach but poor recruiter and died), and of course whiffed on Schloss to get us Lemon. And of course lost both Mullen and Schaefer. But did a great job getting us going on NIL.... oh wait. I actually think Cohen was worse that Templeton ever was as an AD.

Coggin would be an MSU type hire- as in underwhelming.

why do you say that? Please give some info if you actually have facts.

Cohen did make the right decision at the time hiring Leach and he did make a good hire with Jans. He made a better hire his 2nd time around with women?s basketball, but none of that equates to the awful hire he made with Moorhead. Also his lack of interest in NIL and letting all the other schools pool ahead of us was just horrible management. I am glad he is not our problem anymore but there are still a lot of impacts to this day on his hiring decisions. He was definitely not a good AD

Saw my first game at MSU, 1963, age eight. Look at our history of hiring "on the job training" AD's and Football HC's ( Former Assistants). It is terrible in football except for Tyler, Bellard at first, and Mullen. AD is Byrne and that's about it. TBD on Lebby and Selmon. We go cheap my entire life and pay for it on the field and many athletic programs on and off the field. Our so-called "leaders", definately don't revisit the mistakes of the past.

Do you know how the quote function works on this site?

There are a lot of times that I have no clue who your question or comment is directed at.

[Pancho]

I am asking what your beef is with coggin. many folks know his whole family in booneville and wonder wtf you mean. say what you know if you actually have facts. do you understand what i just typed?

[Pancho]

I didn't know you were an english major.

[StateDawg44]

I am asking what your beef is with coggin. many folks know his whole family in booneville and wonder wtf you mean. say what you know if you actually have facts. do you understand what i just typed?

Again. Who are you responding to?

I was asking a question because your no one knows who you are talking to when you just randomly ask a question and don?t clarify who you are directing at. There are several posters in threads. Everyone else quotes the person they are asking a question to except you. I wasn?t being a dick. Just asking to help you get answers to some of your questions.

If your reply was to me maybe you need to learn to read because I?m not the one who said anything negative about Coggin.

So yes I understand what you typed but your in here just asking questions aimlessly.

And what would an English major have to do with anything? No one said anything about grammar or what you typed lolz.

[Pancho]

well my bad then. you should try being less sensitive. english major would be all about using proper quotes and yes, i get what you mean. maybe i failed to quote who i was responding to. sorry for that. for a second there i thought you were the guy in section 103 row M seat 10. no way you are like him. i can read fine there too sir(used loosely) but in a good way. maybe all are just stressed from watching the baseball team. merry xmas if i don't see you til then

Lol. No worries man. I?m certainly no English major myself and wasn?t offended by anything you said to begin with.

Like I said. Wasn?t trying to call you out or anything. Just see your posts sometimes and can?t tell who it?s directed at and I?d like to know the answer to some of your questions too. Might illicit more responses if they know who you?re asking.

While I like Tanner, that's simply not true and is disappointing to know he said. Those of us who played high school ball and have been lifelong fans of every level know the game and its nuances.

Yes. Tanner?s viewpoint on this is just flat out wrong. If anyone played competitive baseball, probably knows enough about the inner workings of baseball to not only understand exactly what is happening in the game, but can accurately predict the coach?s decisions. No offense to him, but baseball isn?t high level calculus. It?s baseball.

All it really takes is watching the team for about a solid month. If any of us got to participate in practices, we would be able to accurately call pretty much every single pitch. I know I could, given a single month with the pitching staff. Ethan Small?s last year, I could accurately call Ethan?s pitch and location at about 80%+ accuracy. Am I a baseball genius? Nope, just grew up pitching. Again, not rocket science.

[Pancho]

good post lord mcbuckethead. all on point and i strongly suspect if we conducted practices that we'd have different position players and would use the pitchers in a different order than what we see this year for sure.

thx man. i seriously would like to know what hoopsdawg has against coggin.
