Kentucky #2

[Thick]

After 2?.2-0 us. Hines crushs his 11th after fouling off 5 out of 6 pitches?.great at bat!

[BeardoMSU]

Wtf, Siary?

My first thought after that BP pitch was from SPEED, when Jeff Daniels says "shoot the hostage", lol. Welp....

[Thick]

450 ft homer on a 2 strike pitch?.when you miss down broadway, bad things happen!

[Coach34]

That's our 80th HR of the season. We hit 79 last year

[Thick]

Someone please teach Stallman how to play it off the right wall!!!

[KOdawg1]

Someone please teach Stallman how to play it off the right wall!!!

We have 2 infielders playing our corner OF spots.

Not hating on it because those guys are hitting, but it is what it is.

[Thick]

Please, if you have to put them out there?..17ing show them how to play it off the wall. They are D1 college baseball players, not retards!!! Tired of hearing the ?they?re not outfielders?!

[BeardoMSU]

Please, if you have to put them out there?..17ing show them how to play it off the wall. They are D1 college baseball players, not retards!!! Tired of hearing the ?they?re not outfielders?!

Lol! Yes.

[Thick]

You put Stallman, Highfill, & Stevens out there, take a pitching machine place it roughly around first base and you shoot balls off of the wall so they can see how the balls come off the wall! It?s not rocket science, but apparently it is to this coaching staff!

[KOdawg1]

Please, if you have to put them out there?..17ing show them how to play it off the wall. They are D1 college baseball players, not retards!!! Tired of hearing the ?they?re not outfielders?!

I'm mean you can be tired of hearing it, but it doesn't make it any less true.

Frei starts tap dancing every time the ball is hit in the air to left field and Stallman is just lost.

It ain't MLB The Show where you can just plug a guy in and he be a good outfielder.

Goes back to shitty roster management now doesn’t it?

[KOdawg1]

Outside of Pico, Ben Davis, and McPherson, this pitching staff just isn't good enough.

Complete failure by Lemonis and Parker to not recognize that we needed more out of the portal.

Indiana St was a complete whiff.

Bingo

I don?t disagree with you, but you have practice utilize that time to show them how the ball comes off the bricks!

This reason is exactly why the job is to big for anyone on this current staff. The entire approach to the program has to change to compete in our league. It’s professional baseball now.

[Coursesuper]

I don?t disagree with you, but you have practice utilize that time to show them how the ball comes off the bricks!

They haven’t been in one position long enough to learn how to play a position. Lemon kept juggling them around so badly the didn’t know what to expect.

[KOdawg1]

Uh oh. Had him on the ropes, but we let their starter settle back in.

[Coach34]

I don?t disagree with you, but you have practice utilize that time to show them how the ball comes off the bricks!

They are just hoping to catch the ball.

[Coach34]

It's like we didnt even have Fall Ball.

[Coursesuper]

It's like we didnt even have Fall Ball.

No kidding.

[Thick]

Did anyone see the UK players touch dicks at first base??? The guy that just walked and the first base coach just gave each other a ?thrust/pump? and touched dicks! WTH is going on in that locker room! Mingione is definitely out!

[KOdawg1]

Nothing but weak contact for 3 innings.

[Coach34]

We gonna have to work like hell to keep McPh. He's a Friday guy next year

[KOdawg1]

We gonna have to work like hell to keep McPh. He's a Friday guy next year

He and Reese need to be priority 1a and 1b for whoever the new coach is.

You can build around those 2.

[Thick]

No doubt!

[KOdawg1]

You can add Williams to this list. Forgot about him.

[KOdawg1]

These Kentucky dudes are weird as hell

[Coach34]

You can add Williams to this list. Forgot about him.

With Williams basically missing the last 3 seasons- we need to try and NIL him to stay another year instead of signing in the draft. But that's probably a tough sell

[parabrave]

Bringing in a pinch runner. Wow haven't seen a move like this in awhile. Someone trying to win.

[Coach34]

He and Reese need to be priority 1a and 1b for whoever the new coach is.

I'm worried Tenn/A&M/Texas/LSU/Fla/UPig gonna give them money they cant refuse

[parabrave]

Well O'brien disregards Cheese and takes 3rd.,

[Coursesuper]

Bringing in a pinch runner. Wow haven't seen a move like this in awhile. Someone trying to win.

We screwed up there. We’re going to need that bat later.

[KOdawg1]

Stallman was talking shit and then Ks like a moron.

Dumbass.

[Coach34]

I cant fault the move with 1 out B8.

[DawgFromOxford]

Stallman was talking shit and then Ks like a moron.

Dumbass.

Would be typical for this team to get punked at home

[BeardoMSU]

This ump is such a bitch, lol.

[Coursesuper]

I cant fault the move with 1 out B8.

Next time thru we will miss that stick.

[parabrave]

We screwed up there. We’re going to need that bat later.

Trying to win it now than wait to see if you get to later is worth it.,

[EdwardDrayton]

Batter/pitcher clocks and sticky stuff hand checks just some of the stupid stuff some dumbass thought would be good for the game.

[CaptainObvious]

Batters should have to work against a pitching machine that throws sliders & curves for 100 straight pitches just like basketball players should have to shoot 200 free throws every practice!

[Coach34]

Next time thru we will miss that stick.

oh no doubt because we didnt score

[Coach34]

Does Stevens still play for us? Hit him in the DH spot

[EdwardDrayton]

Batters should have to work against a pitching machine that throws sliders & curves for 100 straight pitches just like basketball players should have to shoot 200 free throws every practice!

In fairness though the KY dude has some serious late break on that slider. It's gotta be tough for the hitter to stay with it.

[Coach34]

McPh and Williams came up big tonight

[Coach34]

We're gonna hit Spalitta. Stevens must have quit

[Leroy Jenkins]

They are so Mickey Mouse.
Remember The Bench Mobb? “The 2nd “b” is silent”. Loved it.

I’ve heard he’s been west coast bound for a while.

[parabrave]

Mutha$%^*(O. But Jeff says he is safe. maybe

[Quaoarsking]

... WTF

[Activated Alpha]

Hines you're not fast bro

[The Federalist Engineer]

Cheese is garbage

[State82]

Just how stupid can we be??

[Coach34]

damn that was close

[Coursesuper]

17,17,17. Stupid!

[KOdawg1]

Hines is definitely as stupid as he looks

[EdwardDrayton]

Close but just can't be that aggressive situationally.

[mparkerfd20]

Hines went full blown retard.

[EdwardDrayton]

3-2 breaking ball??!!?? smh

[The Federalist Engineer]

We're gonna hit Spalitta. Stevens must have quit

If so, that 2023 recruiting class is vapor.

Remember when firing Lemons in 2023 could risk the recruiting class. When you have idiots coaching the kids, the quality of recruiting is not a big factor. I bet Fox and Lemons would have ruined Paul Skenes life.

[Brobi-wan]

Why is it saying final is 5-5? I’m not home to watch

[StateDawg44]

Why is it saying final is 5-5? I’m not home to watch

It it?s on the sec website it?s because they have retards running the score boards for baseball.

[Quaoarsking]

Well that was a dramatic "YES! NO, DAMMIT! OH WAIT YES!" sequence...

[Activated Alpha]

We need to end this now

[EdwardDrayton]

Time to wrap this.

[parabrave]

Wow we catch a break/

[parabrave]

Just get him to third.

[parabrave]

Good hti Powell and aggressive base running,.

[mparkerfd20]

About damn time

[EdwardDrayton]

Time to wrap this.

IN MAROON AND WHITE!!!!

[StateDawg44]

Hell yeah. Happy they finally squeaked out a close one. Pretty sure the only other close game we?ve gritted it out and won was Okie game one.

[Coach34]

Boom

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good Win. Someone call Stevens and tell him Shit Bucket is gone.

[Brobi-wan]

Glad we got a close one! So glad Lemon is gone and we can’t use a regional to justify keeping him if we make one.

[Coursesuper]

Joe Powell is a baseball player.

[EdwardDrayton]

Joe Powell is a baseball player.

What a transformation he has undergone at the plate from earlier this season.

[BeardoMSU]

Bring out the broomsticks tomorrow and we're cooking with gas!

[RezDog7]

Damn, baseball is fun again

[ZedFedder]

We sweep and we really might be cooking with something.

[Coach34]

RPI at 38 now- so we are back into the Tourney. A win tomorrow would be HUGE

[Coursesuper]

What a transformation he has undergone at the plate from earlier this season.

He’s been our best guy behind the dish all season. He’s starting to swing the bat now that he’s gotten more AB’s. He just needed to play everyday.

[Cowbell]

What a transformation he has undergone at the plate from earlier this season.

This can't be overstated. He's not even the same person at the plate.

[StateDawg44]

Damn, baseball is fun again

Yezzir

Next few weeks could inject a ton of momentum into the offseason and into next year.

[Coach34]

He’s been our best guy behind the dish all season. He’s starting to swing the bat now that he’s gotten more AB’s. He just needed to play everyday.

Lemon would still have a job had he played our best players all season. The lack of eval this Fall is mind blowing

Isn’t it amazing. I really feel like it was paralysis by analysis. He had so much doubt that he never instilled any confidence in anyone and he and everyone else was so tight you couldn’t get a needle up their butt with a Jackhammer.

[Todd4State]

Isn’t it amazing. I really feel like it was paralysis by analysis. He had so much doubt that he never instilled any confidence in anyone and he and everyone else was so tight you couldn’t get a needle up their butt with a Jackhammer.

I definitely was concerned about the way he approached pressure when I heard him speak about that topic earlier this year.

Essentially he couldn't handle the pressure associated with MSU baseball.

[Pancho]

this

[State82]

Essentially he couldn't handle the pressure associated with MSU baseball.

Who knows what goes through someone else's mind. But deep down he may have felt a huge sigh of relief when it all came down this week. It's not like he has to rush out and get a job in the next few weeks. The pressure is gone now. I wish him all the best in whatever he ends up doing but you're right, the pressure cooker with this job blew its top. There are very, very few collegiate baseball jobs you can say that about but ours is definitely one of those.
