The stream not available for anyone else?

[DawgFromOxford]

The stream not available for anyone else?

Same. Had to go find the radio broadcast

[Coach34]

No- on radio until it starts

[StateDawg44]

Nvm

[Coach34]

Boom Sully

[Coach34]

Siary doing a great job locating so far.

[BeardoMSU]

/balls

[parabrave]

Imagine that Bases loaded and el Zilchoo

[R2Dawg]

Dang we suck. Bases loaded, no outs and no runs. We are done.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yeah. Pretty sure I've seen this movie before. 2/10 on the Tomatometer.

[DawgFromOxford]

Imagine that Bases loaded and el Zilchoo

And the first 2 outs got nothing but fastballs

[99jc]

Dang we suck. Bases loaded, no outs and no runs. We are done.

pu ssy hitters for sure

[Activated Alpha]

Dang we suck. Bases loaded, no outs and no runs. We are done.

How many times is that during Lemonis' career? Seriously, I hate it whenever we get the bases loaded. We don't do shite.

[CaptainObvious]

That is awful baseball and it started with Sanders. He took ball 5 and should know what's coming but watched a thigh high fastball go by before swinging at 2 straight chest high pitches. That told the pitcher these guys will swing at the chest high fastball and the next 2 did just that for pop ups. They are not coached! Everything they do positive is what they brought from high school with them. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally but these guys with bases loaded. Nope!

[BeardoMSU]

Clown shoes.

[CaptainObvious]

More little league crap from upper classmen coached by the bucket brigade!

[StateDawg44]

They gonna leave Siary in too long here.

[CaptainObvious]

Welp. I guess 2 runs isn't going to win this one!

[DawgFromOxford]

Had the freshman on the ropes with bases loaded an no outs. Instead we let him retire 9 straight.

[CaptainObvious]

Things are set up for them to blow it open with 2 runs here!

[CaptainObvious]

And the Gators Blow it open with a run in the 5th! May be all the runs they need but I doubt it is all the runs they get!

[Saltydog]

Florida's talent is so much better than ours it's embarrassing. Just look at their freshmen then look at ours.

[Coach34]

Nice job of baserunning by Frei. Good job Cheese

[Coach34]

Ace delivers. 4-3

[DawgFromOxford]

Shoutout ace reese. Well done

[CaptainObvious]

Amazing what happens when they don't go up there guessing and just see baseball hit baseball!

[Coach34]

great AB by Sully. Cmon Hunter. Need a good AB here

[mparkerfd20]

That was a horrible miss by the 1B ump. I hope he's embarrassed as hell.

[cheewgumm]

SWING Stevens ?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Attaboy Ross

That was clutch.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need a hit here to make this inning more decisive

[StateDawg44]

Finally a bases loaded hit

[Coach34]

Big inning!!! LFG!!!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Great defense by Sawyer at short.

[Coach34]

We've fixed SS

[R2Dawg]

Reeves is pretty good; how did it take Lemo half a year to figure this out?

[CaptainObvious]

Well. Definitely went to the plate that inning thinking 6 runs is enough! Not a single competitive at bat the at bat following stellar defense! SMH!

[Coach34]

Reeves is pretty good; how did it take Lemo half a year to figure this out?

Because we promised Cupp he was going to be the SS. So to get them both on the field- we worked Reeves alot at 2B. He just didnt fit there. Glad we have fixed it now

[Coach34]

Terrible 0-2 pitch Davis

[The Federalist Engineer]

We are dead now. I see a bomb coming

[Saltydog]

Shit, c'mon Nate. This is the kinda shit that drives people nuts about this team.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Parker visiting, good. Bases loaded and Nobody Out.

This lead is done

[CaptainObvious]

Must be nice to have guys that can hit breaking balls. And why once you go to the bullpen isn't 2 guys warning immediately.

[Saltydog]

Not a bomb but close enough. Lead officially blown.

[Coach34]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

[Saltydog]

Goodbye Lemondrop. Been nice knowing ya, kinda/sorta.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Bunch of talent no toughness

[Skydawg1]

EFFFF THIS STAFFFFFFF

[Cowbell]

Not a bomb but close enough. Lead officially blown.

We are just not good. Not at all. I never felt like we would win this game. So many stupid stupid mistakes

[BeardoMSU]

Wtf are we doing?! Why are we leaving these guys to die like this?! 2 games in a row!!!

[TopDawg]

I wish our head coach had the balls to visit the mound himself. He wants to make it look like none of the bad decisions are his.

[CaptainObvious]

Hopefully this game will do it for Lemonis! You cannot manage a game this poorly and keep your job! You just de it! I am so tired of clowns on this site saying you have to let the season play out! This is what you get letting Lemonis play it out! Has Starkville High's season ended? Bring their entire staff over to finish it out. Results will probably be the same!

[RezDog7]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

You're a literal ****ing idiot.

[BeardoMSU]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

Yeah, that's all it is, lol

[Cowbell]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

You act surprised. We are consistent at this

[Cowbell]

Yeah, that's all it is, lol

I'm old enough to remember when someone kept touting our great bullpen preseason

[The Federalist Engineer]

Siary did a job this weekend. But no Pen this weekend. Visitors leading 6-7.

If UF wins tonight, the Gators are now off the bubble and into the Regional and MSU at 14th place.

[R2Dawg]

Our bullpen been good all year and Stone and Nate have been lights out; two games in a row they suck wind and will cost us games.

Dang we are so snake bit.

[CaptainObvious]

Wtf are we doing?! Why are we leaving these guys to die like this?! 2 games in a row!!!

Because, unlike other programs who keep guys up in the pen from the 4th inning forward, our coaches bring a reliever in and expect him to shut it din every damn time! They are idiots! And I would call them that to their fat little faces!

[BeardoMSU]

Our bullpen been good all year and Stone and Nate have been lights out; two games in a row they suck wind and will cost us games.

Dang we are so snake bit.

The baseball gods are helping us by making this an easy decision.

[TopDawg]

THIS!!!^^^^^

[The Federalist Engineer]

Frei with nice catch.

Many dudes drop that ball

[Saltydog]

He's lost us two SEC game on dingers he's given up. One was Oklahoma and the other was LSU, if I'm not mistaken so yeah, he's lights out alright.

[BeardoMSU]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

This is funny even for you.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dotson is good when pitching while MSU trails. It's a gift.

There is still a chance here. Down 3 is not impossible

[BeardoMSU]

2 nights in a row of our program collectively shitting the bed. Coaches and players.

[CarolinaDawgs]

As soon as the leadoff struck out and got on base i bet Florida live. What a great bet. 17n Free money on these soft azzz boys

[The Federalist Engineer]

He's lost us two SEC game on dingers he's given up. One was Oklahoma and the other was LSU, if I'm not mistaken so yeah, he's lights out alright.

He has been alright, got Torqued by Steven Urkel in Norman.

Ben Davis gave OU 7 of their 13 runs in the first 2 innings

[Turfdawg67]

No need to worry, we will sweep Missouri. And did you see what so-and-so did to that pitcher that we hammered last weekend?!? We are so back! Round of 32 here we come!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

As soon as the leadoff struck out and got on base i bet Florida live. What a great bet. 17n Free money on these soft azzz boys

Where do you bet College Baseball?

[CaptainObvious]

Our bullpen been good all year and Stone and Nate have been lights out; two games in a row they suck wind and will cost us games.

Dang we are so snake bit.

Have they though? Did we not use any of these guys during that 1-8 start? We're just really solid after replacing starters who gave up big leads? Were they mostly successful against the non-conference? I saw some success on a couple of games but not consistent.

[Cooterpoot]

Let's leave in another pitcher to get killed and our catcher to 17 up. Damn clown show Lemonis!

[TopDawg]

Hines has reverted to his old self.

[BeardoMSU]

Boom

[Saltydog]

The "recruiter" can't recruit, for shit. Look at the difference in their players and ours. It's night and day.

[Saltydog]

Nolan Stevens with his typical AB, another K.

[Cooterpoot]

Nolan is drunk

[Skydawg1]

Nolan Stevens with his typical AB, another K.Guy sucks.

[Travelingdawg]

Ask Lemonis he?s to be betting our games. Lol

[Skydawg1]

Cheese can't win for losing. Snakebit.

[BeardoMSU]

AAAAAAnd......Cheese strikes again! What a complete fraud.

[Quaoarsking]

Questionable decision to send the runner, but I guess with 2 outs you have to balance out the percentages of making it home with the percentages of the next batter getting a hit.

[CaptainObvious]

Probably the right play to send him. Perfect throw from Cyr! Dang it!

[BeardoMSU]

Nolan is drunk

No idea, but this song is bad ass...


https://youtu.be/zVOuRQPPdoo?si=WseKWjSq0NBL1N9Y

[The Federalist Engineer]

Cheese can't win for losing. Snakebit.

Snakebit? No, just bad at his job. That was a toss from short left field.

[CarolinaDawgs]

I call some of my friends cheesetarded. I feel vindicated.

[Cowbell]

Questionable decision to send the runner, but I guess with 2 outs you have to balance out the percentages of making it home with the percentages of the next batter getting a hit.

There was no doubt that throw was going to be ahead of highfill, before he rounded third.

[BeardoMSU]

Just another example where our best players failed us. Sigh.****

[Quaoarsking]

There was no doubt that throw was going to be ahead of highfill, before he rounded third.

I don't know, the LF and C both played it perfectly, and still Highfill was an inch or two away from scoring. If you think you have a better than 40% chance of scoring, it's probably better to send him there with 2 outs and down 1 run.

But yeah, I cringed when I saw we were sending him because I figured he was going to be out.

[Cowbell]

You guys need to stop trashing the hitters that have been in this program multiple years. It's obvious our coaches aren't improving them, and that's the issue. Look at all our veteran players vs all our portal guys - you can look back the last three years on this. Stevens, Hines, Chance, Highfill, Powell, and Downs all look exactly the same as they did a year ago. Almost no improvement across the board. This is also the reason high level transfers ain't coming here.

It was clear off the bat it was shallow.

[CaptainObvious]

Walking the 9 hole hitter always seems like a smart thing to do!😔SMDH

Thankfully most of the newcomers only have 1 year under Geautreau and Lemonis. 😂😂😂😂

I literally called him out before he rounded third.

[Bothrops]

We are the GoBots of SEC baseball.

[Cowbell]

Thankfully most of the newcomers only have 1 year under Geautreau and Lemonis. ��������

Ain't that the truth.

[CarolinaDawgs]

Does highfill know he has to catch it?

[BeardoMSU]

I literally called him out before he rounded third.

Yep.

[BeardoMSU]

Another wtf play, lol. After a passed ball!

[Cooterpoot]

Ross Highfill sucks!
And we are a fundamental train wreck. Just giving them bases all damn night.

[BeardoMSU]

We are the GoBots of SEC baseball.

We're not good enough for K-Mart**

[Bothrops]

We're not good enough for K-Mart**

Lol

[StateDawg44]

Does highfill know he has to catch it?

I?ve lost count of how many times announcers have said ?that one got past Highfill?

[BeardoMSU]

Ross Highfill sucks!
And we are a fundamental train wreck. Just giving them bases all damn night.

It's the players responsibility to have fundamentals! The coaches can only do so much!!**

[Saltydog]

Post of the night. . . . .

[State82]

We have put our best players out there and they have failed. Wow

And this is exactly why Monday must be the day the search is in full throttle. These are our best players and they are not the same caliber as the majority of the league. Lemonis and staff are very subpar at this game. Justin Parker is no better than Geautraux at his job. No excuses can even be remotely made for this Charlie Foxtrot.

[StateDawg44]

I like the fire from McPherson

[cheewgumm]

Swing

[StateDawg44]

What an awful wasted inning

[CarolinaDawgs]

The lack of clutch of this team is beautiful.

[Bothrops]

Girly wrists girly wrists

[Dawgology]

This team is really poorly coached.

[StateDawg44]

What. The. Hell. Stevens

[BeardoMSU]

Oh boy......

I'm starting to think these guys have money on the games, lol.

And another as I type.

[Cooterpoot]

What. The. Hell. Stevens

Drunk

[Bothrops]

But of course

[CaptainObvious]

There was no doubt that throw was going to be ahead of highfill, before he rounded third.

I do think Cheese has to read where the fielder is. That was a hard hit ball where the fielder was able to charge it and make a throw moving forward. But.... 2 feet up the 1st base line and the game is tied.

I'm more concerned with at bats like Sawyer Reeves just had. 2 breaking balls outside for a 2-0 count. There is no better hitters count in baseball and he watches the 2-0 right down Main Street. But was that the end of his chance? Nooooo. He still ahead with a 2-1 count. Sooooo.... he watches another one right down the middle. Now.... the at bat is over... because the breaking ball is a beaut!

[StateDawg44]

Lolz. Clown show has officially arrived

[cheewgumm]

Load them up and bring in the Infield

[State82]

Matt Wyatt described this whole situation very succinctly about a month ago when he said we are just not a winning operation. And we are not. Not even close.

[BeardoMSU]

Anything to end this at this point.

[Bothrops]

Drunk

Jello shots?

[StateDawg44]

Hopefully Highfill can hold onto the ball the rest of this inning

[SPMT]

Ross Highfill sucks!
And we are a fundamental train wreck. Just giving them bases all damn night.

This team is a walking cluster 17.

Bad play in many facets to be at this level. SEC baseball is minor league ball and this team will pays like a high school team.

[BeardoMSU]

If only our best players developed themselves to have the skills and discipline to play the game. Such a shame.**

[Cooterpoot]

Selmon is a ***** if he doesn't fire this staff! In fact, he should be fired if he doesn't.

[Bothrops]

I don't care if the whole team started drinking during games now. Might as well have some fun

[CarolinaDawgs]

That?s our best talent! Coach34 said so!

[StateDawg44]

They gonna run Ligon off the field tomorrow with their brooms.

[BeardoMSU]

They gonna run Ligon off the field tomorrow with their brooms.

They're gonna **** us with the broom handles, lol.

[Cowbell]

But they're our best players!! The coaches are just passive entities in this hateful gambit!**

You are on a roll my man

[Bothrops]

Some9ne please fight!

[BeardoMSU]

And Lemo doesn't get tossed, lol

[StateDawg44]

Lemonis realizing he at the end of his rope

[CaptainObvious]

Reality Check! State sitting 13th in the league with a team that is actually below them coming to town. And Lemonis Clowns proceed to give up double figures in runs in back to back nights!

[BeardoMSU]

You are on a roll my man

I'm drinking Rolling Rocks and cheap bourbon!*

[Cowbell]

Have we ever been swept on super bulldog weekend?

[State82]

I'm drinking Rolling Rocks and cheap bourbon!*

Life is too short to drink cheap bourbon Beardo. Especially with this clown show.

[CaptainObvious]

Lemonis realizing he at the end of his rope

Nah. Selmon's wife wears the boots and britches in his house. He ain't got the balls to let Lemonis go! Keenum probably told Lemonis he has a lifetime job here just for Keenum getting to hold up that trophy and put it in his trophies case!

[Bothrops]

Our money is good here anytime

[Cowbell]

Our baseball program feels like a big zit that has festered way too long. I'm just ready to see it explode.

[Political Hack]

Florida scored 5 runs in the Vandy series. I think they had like 7-8 runs all weekend vs Tennessee. Two dozen on us at home... in two games. hard to win close games when you bleed runs like this.

[parabrave]

Well having Hines revert to suck doesn't help.

[CaptainObvious]

How many of our guys have not connected on or even swung at thigh high or belt high fastballs but have struck out on chest or chin high fastballs?

[StateDawg44]

We stare at so many meat pitches. Then swing at garbage. Beyond frustrating watching them just stare shit down.

[Bothrops]

Our baseball program feels like a big zit that has festered way too long. I'm just ready to see it explode.

But the twist is, it's hard to burst, it just bleeds and sits in there.

[CarolinaDawgs]

Can we fire this 17 and just get it over with.

[Bothrops]

I really do feel embarrassed for Lemonis after the ump felt sorry for him. Ouch

[Cowbell]

But the twist is, it's hard to burst, it just bleeds and sits in there.

It's like we are on a date with a hot girl and can't do anything about it. But our hot girl is a president who is just a politician

[BeardoMSU]

Well having Hines revert to suck doesn't help.

It's called reverting to the norm. And that's his.

[StateDawg44]

Absolutely pathetic offense last two innings

[Cowbell]

We stare at so many meat pitches. Then swing at garbage. Beyond frustrating watching them just stare shit down.

We've been doing it since we started that chest tapping....

[msstate7]

Good lemonis is done. He sucks

[Cooterpoot]

I hate that Rick's is going to lose income, but this staff is gone!

[CaptainObvious]

State doesn't even swing at breaking balls until they get 2 strikes, and then they swing at the ones in the dirt. Meanwhile Florida hitters sprayed curve balls all over the yard tonight and last night. Still SMDH!

[BeardoMSU]

State doesn't even swing at breaking balls until they get 2 strikes, and then they swing at the ones in the dirt. Meanwhile Florida hitters sprayed curve balls all over the yard tonight and last night. Still SMDH!

But JG is like a walking Budda!

[Bothrops]

This weekend was very telling. With a particular degree of finality.

[BeardoMSU]

This weekend was very telling. With a particular degree of finality.

And we needed that, tbh. The path is clear now.

[Bothrops]

And we needed that, tbh. The path is clear now.

Yup

[Skydawg1]

Snakebit? No, just bad at his job. That was a toss from short left field.Is'nt he also the catchers coach? He just sucks all around.

[Todd4State]

Is'nt he also the catchers coach? He just sucks all around.

Yes he is.

[Coursesuper]

Ross Highfill sucks!
And we are a fundamental train wreck. Just giving them bases all damn night.

Amen to this. Anyone can see it.
