Lookey there- Beans in CF

[Tater]

Not having a 5:30 cutoff for folks parking in the outfield hilarious

[Tater]

We finna beat this mid ass fanbase's ass and then beat their football coach lane kiffin's ass in the fall too.

[Tater]

Well Sweeney ain't it.

[DawgFromOxford]

knew the slider was coming. Sweeney left it hanging. oof

[BeardoMSU]

Sigh....why do we ever agree to play these ****s AWAY? Literally their SB...

[MBDawg601]

Pitcher has about as much energy as a box of snails. Sheesh. Get his ass out of there.

[SailingDawg]

Well Sweeney ain't it.

Yeah he?s hanging em up there.

[BeardoMSU]

Get someone up in the pen, ffs

[msstate7]

lol, they gonna run rule us aren't they?

[mparkerfd20]

Had a horrible feeling pitching was gonna fuk us tonight. Looks like I was right.

[MBDawg601]

lol, they gonna run rule us aren't they?

Has that feeling, don’t it.

[Thick]

Let’s not get BOC confused with Jans. It’s baseball, and we have 8 more at bats.

[Maroon Glasses]

Fudggggge

[MBDawg601]

Yeah, but they do too… lol. We’ve not really beat anyone worth bragging about, Sunday and today are our first tests…

[Turfdawg67]

We finna beat this mid ass fanbase's ass and then beat their football coach lane kiffin's ass in the fall too.

Lolz... a regular ole soothsayer, you are.

[MBDawg601]

30 pitch first… sheesh.

[msstate7]

Let’s not get BOC confused with Jans. It’s baseball, and we have 8 more at bats.

They run ruled bama here last week. They are pumped to be playing us and we probably still hung over from ucla loss. I was mostly playing about being run ruled, but I don't feel good about this game.

[Coach34]

Not the start we were looking for

[BeardoMSU]

30 pitch first? sheesh.

"Opener" not "starter"***

[BeardoMSU]

Already going to their pen....interesting...

[Tater]

Lolz... a regular ole soothe sayer, you are.

I'm drunk man what can I say.

[Coach34]

They doing a Sweep the Kitchen approach on the mound tonight

[CaptainObvious]

Already going to their pen....interesting...

Actually not. They used 8 pitchers, one per inning against State in Pearl in a win over the Dogs in 2023. Great way to get a win and save pitching for the weekend.

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn. Y'all couldn't at least hold the line until I got here.

Guess Imma gonna carry the load from here to get the W. *****

[MBDawg601]

We must have walked to Hattiesburg our guys look like they need a nap.

Low energy, no emotion. They’re gonna get they’re ass embarrassed tonight, and probably deserve it.

I guess the "Ace Slump" is now into its 2nd or 3rd week?**

[Coach34]

Eat shit Tard. 34 gets to strike out 3 more times to reach Teel

[EdwardDrayton]

I mean surely SM will run out of freshman pitchers. *****

[MBDawg601]

They’ll keep trotting freshmen pitchers out to blank us. USM is a powerhouse**** we very well could have played the 2nd best team in the country Sunday and now facing THE best team in the country.

[Coach34]

Sumbitch this season:

8 IP's- 14 K's/0 ERA

We may have found SP #3

[CaptainObvious]

The best baseball players in Mississippi reside within a 25 mile radius of Hattiesburg!

[BeardoMSU]

If we let them gimp us with a slew of freshman pitchers like this, we deserve to lose, lol.

Well, SMiss is known for their extraordinarily generous NIL, the Taj Mahal baseball stadium and their $3M coach... right?

[Coach34]

Are you logged in to the ESPN app with your streaming credentials? (YouTube or whoever you have?)

Yes. It lets me watch other games- but not our game

[parabrave]

Meanwhile the boys are taking it to fl

[EdwardDrayton]

Need to get some here.

(How many times did I say that to myself on a Saturday night while a student at State)

[MBDawg601]

Lol, these freshmen are legit shutting us down. Do we have a hitting coach???

[BeardoMSU]

Terrible.

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn. Seems like the Bruins depleted our testosterone and we have an urge to pee sitting down.

[Activated Alpha]

I was afraid of this. We lost a heartbreaker Sunday and now face a red hot USM team. This wasn?t a good follow up game for us.

[Tater]

Eat shit Tard. 34 gets to strike out 3 more times to reach Teel

we benched teel for parker peaches.

[MBDawg601]

Damn. Seems like the Bruins depleted our testosterone and we have an urge to pee sitting down.

Low T. I think it’s all the processed foods.

It’s ruining young men in this country.

17 u Buzzards. Better not get cocky. We ain't done yet.

i find more miller brother ed salute emoji

[CaptainObvious]

Obviously based on the teams State has beaten so far, this team isn?t the 4th best team in the country. Remember both A&M and Tennessee also went 2-1 in Arlington and lost to UCLA! The SEC is going to touch this team up. If State can go 17-13 in conference it will be huge!

[Thick]

Take it up with your 17ing AD! We should never play these cocksuckers, bc they benefit from us period the end!

[38843dawg]

we benched teel for parker peaches.

Teel didn?t travel, he?s sick. What are you talking about?

[KOdawg1]

Getting our shit kicked in. Didn't show up ready to play whatsoever.

[Coach34]

we benched teel for parker peaches.

Why thank you Nostradumbass. We all knew that

[mparkerfd20]

We aren't anywhere near as good as we thought

Lol

[Tater]

Why thank you Nostradumbass. We all knew that

ok then why are you comparing frei to teel? compare parker blowing the 9th and 10th vs. ucla to Teel if you're gonna crow about chance in centerfield.

[EdwardDrayton]

We aren't anywhere near as good as we thought

Oh yes we are. Don't pu$$y out over four innings on a Tuesday.

[Coach34]

ok then why are you comparing frei to teel? compare parker blowing the 9th and 10th vs. ucla to Teel if you're gonna crow about chance in centerfield.

If Teel holds his ground we win- very simple. Instead he was a chickenshit

[Activated Alpha]

I do question why we play USM so much more than Ole Miss. When was the last time OM played USM in Hattiesburg in the regular season?

[Turfdawg67]

We aren't anywhere near as good as we thought

Let's please bookmark some of these typical overreactions. Let's make a sticky thread. It's baseball... we're at worst 11-2. Geez

[Leroy Jenkins]

Luckily (or unluckily) for me there's a petty good live stream on youtube.

[Coach34]

34 with a hit

[Leroy Jenkins]

Frei is a better athlete than he looks like he should be, if that makes sense. He made a throw moving to his left away from the bag that is much harder than it looks and he looked pretty dang smooth with it.

[EdwardDrayton]

Can somebody gag this announcer?!!?? You know what I'm sayin'. *****

[MBDawg601]

Blue is our most electric player right now.

[MBDawg601]

Thank you Sully, we do have an ounce of testosterone left.

[EdwardDrayton]

Sullystache. Here ...... we ....... go

[SailingDawg]

Didn?t we win their regional a few years ago? When it counts?

[HoopsDawg]

I wouldnt play Chance and Nunalee together. Same type player.

Need to get Bevis in the outfield and VtaVal too. Defense is overrated.

[EdwardDrayton]

5-3! LFG!!!!

[Coach34]

New game

[somebodyshotmypaw]

If Stallman runs out of the box after hitting it he would have been easily safe. You can’t stand and watch.

[Coach34]

great inning freshman

[HoopsDawg]

Shocked we didnt PH for Parker.

[Tater]

New game

great bunt teel i mean peaches i mean frei

[HoopsDawg]

I was praying we wouldn?t bunt there.

[msstate7]

Words can't express how much I hate bunting there.

[msstate7]

I was praying we wouldn?t bunt there.
So dumb

[MBDawg601]

You have to swing away, top of the order.. two on no-one out. Come on man.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Frei is a slugger. Can he even bunt?

Our dreaded bases loaded. I hate it when we load them. Almost like a curse

[MBDawg601]

Frei is a slugger. Can he even bunt?

Apparently not. Lol

[MBDawg601]

Our dreaded bases loaded. I hate it when we load them. Almost like a curse

Routine double play, coming right up.

[HoopsDawg]

So dumb

BOC loves to bunt. He has actually calmed it down a little. Used to bunt his 3 hole early in games. Unfortunately, he is bunting in that spot 9 times out of 10.

[msstate7]

It was a strike, Noah. Man up

[MBDawg601]

Noah offers a half as strike 3 and mouths at the ump. Smart.

[MBDawg601]

New game.

[EdwardDrayton]

Stallman.

[msstate7]

Very nice.

[parabrave]

Can we get someone to hit the ball to the warning track when we got a guy on 3rd with less than 2 outs. Jeez

[HoopsDawg]

Let?s go Reed!! Way to fight.

[BeardoMSU]

Gettin they ass!!!

[Leroy Jenkins]

Stallman.

He's a different hitter this year.

[EdwardDrayton]

6-5. I smell Mustard Buzzard grillin' at about 110 degrees. Gonna be good.

[MBDawg601]

Let’s put up a 15 run inning and go the hell home.

[MBDawg601]

Their short is good. Sheesh.

[Tater]

mannnnnnn

[Leroy Jenkins]

Legit play by them right there.

[Tater]

so i uhhh got in a war with right field talking shit on that blooper and i'm sorry if we drop another fly ball.

[BeardoMSU]

Great play from their ss

[Coach34]

great bunt teel i mean peaches i mean frei

****ing stupid asking him to bunt. Know your team Lemon!!!

[Tater]

Pitzer and burns up in the pen. We wanna win this now.

[Tater]

****ing stupid asking him to bunt. Know your team Lemon!!!

honestly i'm drunk but correct rebuttal that shit was stupid.

[Coach34]

A year in the SEC makes alot of guys better

[EdwardDrayton]

Gonna be a slugfest the rest of the way.

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus

[MBDawg601]

Of course that’s the way they tie it up.

[Tater]

[msstate7]

Unbelievable. No matter the sport, we always find a way to choke games away

[Coach34]

We knew catching was a weak spot

[BeardoMSU]

JC wtf are we doing?!

[MBDawg601]

Is this a joke? Whose behind this?

[Tater]

milewski ?

[BeardoMSU]

Inning should ****ing over!

[Coach34]

******* mf'er. 2 in a row

[EdwardDrayton]

BOC walkin' to the mound "Why TF I leave VA". LOL!!!

[MBDawg601]

Yep, pitcher gets blamed for two great pitches. Meanwhile the catcher had his 17n eyes closed.

What a shit show.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Why is the catcher on 1 knee? If he was on his feet he could easily have trapped both balls. When you've got a leg extended you can't contort your body over the ball and keep it in front. Terrible coaching

[Leroy Jenkins]

When did the damn circus come to town? -Bud Kilmer

[msstate7]

Why is the catcher on 1 knee? If he was on his feet he could easily have trapped both balls. When you've got a leg extended you can't contort your body over the ball and keep it in front. Terrible coaching

That's how it's taught these days to frame better

[Thick]

Can we find a mfing catcher that can block a mfing spinner in the dirt!!!!! 17 ME!!!!

[HoopsDawg]

I have a lot of disagreements with the way this game was managed but maybe our talent can pull off the win.

[EdwardDrayton]

Unbelievable. No matter the sport, we always find a way to choke games away

Easy. This is one that's gonna come down to the last pitch.

[WSOPdawg]

That was Oak?s first wtf moment at State? when Maddox gets in trouble, why not bring Dane in right then? He left Maddox in too long imo.

[CaptainObvious]

I started to say mid week pitching is a problem for State. But actually mid week Catching is a problem for State!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

That's how it's taught these days to frame better

And it's fine with bases empty. But when a passed ball means a run scores? When you know the pitch will be a curveball low/in the dirt? You aren't framing that anyway.

[Coach34]

We are not good at catcher and we knew that before the season. Milewski not playing some is puzzling

[SilentSteel16]

Well, say what you want about the catching, But Maddox is straight nasty… if we can figure out how to catch and block instead of trying to backhand, would have been a different story….. two passballs for scores and a dropped can o corn at short which scored a run. That is 3 off the top right there. Just not sharp

[Bdawg]

Why is the catcher on 1 knee? If he was on his feet he could easily have trapped both balls. When you've got a leg extended you can't contort your body over the ball and keep it in front. Terrible coaching

I’ve asked the same question before. You see that crap everywhere now. You lose your ability to slide over easier. Don’t know why coaches allow it

[MBDawg601]

We are not good at catcher and we knew that before the season. Milewski not playing some is puzzling

I feel like that’s an important piece to have? Maybe I’m wrong tho

[BeardoMSU]

These announcers, lol. Wtf guys.

[EdwardDrayton]

I mean we could switch over and watch us get prison bitched in basketball again. *****

[EdwardDrayton]

These announcers, lol. Wtf guys.

They are on my last 17ing nerve.

[msstate7]

Easy. This is one that's gonna come down to the last pitch.

Missed pop up and 2 pass balls = 3 runs. It should be in hand

[SilentSteel16]

That is a product of the way kids are taught how to receive and frame pitches. They know longer catch but snap at the pitch to help pitchers with frames

[msstate7]

That is a product of the way kids are taught how to receive and frame pitches. They know longer catch but snap at the pitch to help pitchers with frames

And it's good strategy for the most part. Of course you get more passed balls, but stealing strikes is more beneficial imo.

Missed pop up and 2 pass balls = 3 runs. It should be in hand

No doubt.

[BeardoMSU]

I mean we could switch over and watch us get prison bitched in basketball again. *****
Its a drop the soap type of season***

[BeardoMSU]

Yep. Damn that's depressing.

[Bdawg]

And it's good strategy for the most part. Of course you get more passed balls, but stealing strikes is more beneficial imo.

Not with a man on third

[Tater]

Damn Oak needs to bench our leadoff for staring at a strike

Don't you agreeeeeee peaches peaches peeeeeaches?

[EdwardDrayton]

Its a drop the soap type of season***

LOL!!!!

[Bdawg]

Way to watch it Frei

[msstate7]

Not with a man on third

Yeah, I don't pretend to know the intricacies of catching, but if you practice it one way all the time, changing it with a runner on 3rd doesn't seem practical

[Bdawg]

Usm has one hit with risp and have 7 runs. Jeez

[msstate7]

Way to watch it Frei

Got fooled for sure. I'm more mad at our guys crying over obvious strikes being called strikes

[CaptainObvious]

Can we just assume the lead off guy is going to be an out and skip to the #2 hitter? And if so, we need to move Reese to the 3 hole. This is going to be a more disappointing loss than UCLA because Och sucks as their late innings pitcher and State couldn?t hit the guy!

[Leroy Jenkins]

Catching definitely has more swag than it did in my day. I like it.

[Thick]

Mfing Gehrig watching a pitch, instead of being in defensive mode!!!! **** me!!!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Not with a man on third

Exactly. I can get over these kind of simple mental errors... so long as we fix it. If we make the same mistake again, that's bad coaching

[Saltydog]

Got fooled for sure. I'm more mad at our guys crying over obvious strikes being called strikes

WORD. Frei and Sully looked like whiney bitches. Both were clearly out.

[Bdawg]

Yeah, I don't pretend to know the intricacies of catching, but if you practice it one way all the time, changing it with a runner on 3rd doesn't seem practical

You’re over complicating it. Do what you got to do to block the damn ball.

[CaptainObvious]

Walking the lead off guy in bottom of 8th down by a run always ends well! Damn! Especially when he is the 9 hole batter.

[BeardoMSU]

Trying not to overreact...but I do wonder if keeping Parker will be a regret for us. So far I haven't loved a lot of our pitching choices, outside of the starters. Am I crazy?

[Bdawg]

Got fooled for sure. I'm more mad at our guys crying over obvious strikes being called strikes

Yeah that’s soft as baby shit.

[HoopsDawg]

We are going to have to deal with Camden Clark in the 9th.

[BeardoMSU]

Walking the lead off guy in bottom of 8th down by a run always ends well! Damn!

And they always end up biting you

[Thick]

7 walks by MSU pitching tonight!!! Throw stiles mfer……make them earn in it!

[Tater]

don't worry. even if webb holds here and we take the lead in the 9th. billingsley know the assignment and is warm and ready

[msstate7]

We are going to have to deal with Camden Clark in the 9th.

2-4 hitters. Our guys should be able to hold their own vs anyone. Now will they? I'm not feeling it tonight

[SilentSteel16]

You’re over complicating it. Do what you got to do to block the damn ball.

It is pretty simple the one leg down doesn’t work for a sweeping or downward motion pitch. Fastball or a cutter that method works well. However if you call those wipeout pitches to Maddox, you should not rely on that type of stance for receiving. The catcher calls the pitch he KNOWS where and how it supposed to be located. I have a lot of grace for players but that second one should have been caught especially after the hitter prior.

[Bdawg]

7 walks by MSU pitching tonight!!! Throw stiles mfer……make them earn in it!

They have 1 hit with risp. Guess they do have a HR

[MBDawg601]

He almost whiffed another one. We need a catcher. BAD.

[Tater]

it's gone be a wide zone in the ninth if we make it there

[Tater]

2-4 hitters. Our guys should be able to hold their own vs anyone. Now will they? I'm not feeling it tonight

pinch hit teel for reese. half joking but not really

[EdwardDrayton]

Reese-Sully-Stallman. Let's get it.

[msstate7]

21" of IVB? How different are the seams on a college ball? Spencer Strider wasn't getting that pre-injury and his was considered elite shape

[PGHBulldogBG]

Honestly if we can be decent in baseball that’s cool, but what are we trying to accomplish as an athletic department? We spend all this money on a sport the majority of the country doesn’t care about and we can’t even beat USM? I am just confused. Our fans have no interest in basketball which is one of the main sports that drives revenue in March. Our football program and the NIL we give them is a joke compared to the rest of the SEC. I just am confused what we are doing here. Is the goal to go to a smaller conference? I just would love to know the explanation for all this. Nothing makes sense from a national perspective.

[Saltydog]

We can make all the excuses we want. You know, "this is their superbowl, blah, blah, blah". That's BS. Truth is, we got beat by a good team. With that said, we have some glaring weaknesses and it's possible we just aren't quite as good as many thought.

[msstate7]

Unbelievable. No matter the sport, we always find a way to choke games away

Last 2 games...

Hit a guy on 0-2 pitch to face best player in the country. Gave up the hr. Then 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs and couldn't win it.

Tonight, 2 passed balls to lose lead and then tie. It was the winning run.

These might as well be the Shapen int vs Florida or the point return vs texas. We just find ways to lose

[EdwardDrayton]

Let's settle in for the long train. We're gonna be there in the end and get another chance at the Blue Bitches and the Mustard Buzzards.

[Activated Alpha]

I just want to know why we schedule games down there when OM doesn?t? Or do they and I just don?t know about it?

[MBDawg601]

Welp

[Saltydog]

Continue to piss and moan but we could throw every effing thing we have at football and basketball and still not make major strides IMO. That's just the way it is. At least in baseball we can be somewhat competitive.

[Coach34]

Lemon lost another runner on the bases tonight. Cmon Cheese

Supposedly those aren't traits of BOC teams but like Polkie said, "It's baseball" (rolls eyes).

[Bothrops]

I don?t see it. Too much soft contact, too many weaknesses. Settle in for another brutal sec schedule. It could get ugly.

I mean ...are you saying we could lose an SEC series?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Ehh, loss always hurts but we've beaten ourselves these past 2 games. Pitching management vs UCLA was geared for getting guys work and we ran out of arms. Not to mention the bases loaded 3-2 count in a tie game ball 4 that the ump called strike 3, should have walked it off right there. Vs USM boneheaded but easily correctable catching mistakes lost the game on the road to a top 10 team when our starter had a bad game. We fought back from down 5. Are we a perfect team? No. But are we a very good team that can make noise in Omaha? Yes. I know every team is figuring things out, but it feels like we've got more than most and so as we iron out what guys can pitch/hit/catch we'll get better than most, and we're already a top team.

[CaptainObvious]

I?m not sure this team will be there in the end. Leadership lacking again like it did under Lem! State has played only 2 top 10 teams. Guess what? State is 0-2 against 2 Top 10 teams. Beating Hofstra, Delaware, And Alcorn. So what. Struggled to put away Troy, ASU and Va. Tech late in games.

I?ll stick with my 39-17 (17-13) for now but I certainly could see revising that down when we get to SEC play. If we get to that, probably a 12 seed on the road for Regional and possible Super Regional. Cannot keep leaving Dudy Noble empty in late May and early June. That sucks!

[PGHBulldogBG]

Not the time to bitch about this, lol. Jc.

Just stating facts. It doesn’t make sense. Even Lebby and our below average football team went to Hattiesburg and won by 17 points. I am just trying to make sense of what we are doing here as a whole.

[HoopsDawg]

To me, this was a bad loss. Bad lineup. Bad management. Poor execution.

But having said that, if you cant tell this is an Omaha caliber team, you dont know baseball.

We are really good.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Doesn't matter now, but at the end why put in a pinch runner and not send him? Having him on first means we'd need 2 2 out hits to score him. If he steals second we'd just need one. Surely the pinch runner has a better chance of stealing 2nd than Sanders (the 2nd guy we'd have needed to get a hit) had to get a hit off their closer. Just seemed like bad coaching to me

[Saltydog]

The problem is those "easily correctable catching mistakes" aren't getting corrected. And if our catching and blocking wasn't bad enough then you have that our catchers can't throw out baserunners. Teams are going to run on us a LOT in SEC play.

Yes cause nothing matters but performance vs USM. State beat USM in football, and just lost in baseball. Clearly, the only conclusion we can draw is that investing in baseball is dumb... as out team is a ranked #4 in the nation lol

[EdwardDrayton]

This team is going to be there in the end. Don't give in to the estrogen over a couple of games. Take your blue pills.

I agree we aren't going to solve the catching issue this season. We won't be a completely well rounded team at any point. But only 1-3 teams are in any given season. We have a shot to earn a SR and if we make it to Omaha have about as good of a chance as anyone. Unreal for year 1 of a new coach, even with NIL and Portal considered

[Tater]

all i'm saying is that aiden teel woulda made us lose 5-7

[Activated Alpha]

Meh, let?s get our mojo back this weekend before heading into the SEC gauntlet. Show those bitches we are back

[CaptainObvious]

It doesn?t matter what you write or even think. State can spend $30 million on football and $15 million on basketball and still be bottom 6 SEC. State ?Fans? can spend $10 million on baseball and still have to play in the SEC too. So, probably a program like State should be in a lower conference. Winning at that level in football and still going to bowl games. Winning a little better at Basketball and maybe slipping in as a mid-major. Winning at baseball still because several Mid-majors win at baseball.

When Alabama, Texas, A&M, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, Missouri, Auburn and Ole Miss can spend double than State can on Football, State has no chance!

Yes. In both losses its clear we're a combination of figuring shit out and playing with our food.
And neither of our losses are scrubs; the opposite, in fact.

Not worried.

[BeardoMSU]

Put the Schnapps down, bro!***

(that's a layered peach joke, btw)

[HoopsDawg]

Exactly. Lots of correctable mistakes by players and BOC. Need to figure out the 3rd outfielder after Teel and Chance. Need a consistent batting order. Need to improve at catcher. Need to tighten up pitching rotation and define roles. Gotta clean up base running. All of that and we lost two 1 run games to two Top 10 teams away from home.

As it stands today, I will be shocked if we are not a national seed.

[Bothrops]

I just want to know why we schedule games down there when OM doesn?t? Or do they and I just don?t know about it?

I think they played down there last year.

[Todd4State]

I think they played down there last year.

I'm 99% sure they play Ole Miss in Hattiesburg this year too. And Pearl.

[EdwardDrayton]

[maroonmania]

Dang, we were down 4-0 tonight before I even had time to get the game pulled up. Was Sweeney that bad? Hard to win games against good competition when we are starting off so poorly. Got down 3-0 to UCLA right off the bat and tonight was even worse getting down 5-0 before doing anything against USM midweek pitching. Had 2 chances at a high quality win and didn't get either. Very disappointing.

Vytas has been good in the OF. Nunnalee and Parker and Mershon have all had moments. I'm not too worried about the OF especially knowing that Teel was sick.

Our bullpen I think needs to be something like:

Closer- Webb
Set-up- Davis
Set-up- Pitzer
Relief ace- Sweeney (I know)
Relief ace- Gleason
Match up- Burns

Chone and Raymond need to work on blocking balls better. We need Milewski back if he is healthy too.

Yeah. He was off. Gave up a 3 run home run. He just isn't a starter so not too concerned about it. Another run we gave up because Woodson missed a pop up and then Gleason gave up a home run.

[Rawdawg]

We are FINE. We have 2 non conference losses to a likely national seed and likely regional host in a true road game. We made mistake in both games and the game of baseball punishes you for them. It happens.

[HoopsDawg]

Foster barely pitched tonight. Makes me wonder if he is going to get another shot at starting on Sunday. To me, this would be ideal bc Stone could go back to the pen.

Probably because we were down a run. I'm assuming you're talking about the 9th inning right? If not disregard what I am about to say but if Sanders gets thrown out to end the game this place would be melting down right now.

Agree on Webb. Davis has just been too inconsistent, even going back to last year, to be a closer type pitcher.

[Todd4State]

Foster barely pitched tonight. Makes me wonder if he is going to get another shot at starting on Sunday. To me, this would be ideal bc Stone could go back to the pen.

Stone I think has earned the Sunday job. Not sure what they are going to do but if I were in their shoes I'd try to let Foster pitch out of the bullpen for an inning or two Friday or Saturday and then start him against Tulane in Biloxi.

I looked at Foster's stats from last year yesterday and he did pretty good out of the bullpen last year. I do think he has starter stuff though.

[Todd4State]

Agree on Webb. Davis has just been too inconsistent, even going back to last year, to be a closer type pitcher.

I think we're overextending Davis and he wears out in general. He's electric for two innings. And then his velo noticeably drops. He could close if he pitches the 8th and 9th but we're bringing him in the 7th and running out of gas in the 9th.

[Todd4State]

Also one other thought on the pitching staff in general- now that our starters are getting extended we'll have to use the bullpen less hopefully. McPherson and Valinicus are hopefully going to give us 6-7 every time out Stone can hopefully go 5 every time. So, if that plays out it will help too.

[Maroon Glasses]

We have got some things to figure out but we have went down 3-0 against 2 top 10 teams in the first inning (5-0) today after 3 and have managed to take the lead in both games. That speaks to both our offense and our bullpen doing their jobs. We fix some mistakes and we are 13-0. But, we ain't.

UCLA and Southern both have teams that have been together for a long time. They have veteran players everywhere. We are gonna gel and I wouldn't be surprised if we are a National Seed by years end. Although as a State fan, I don't know why I do this to myself. I haven't learned yet so I must be insane.

[AlSwearengen]

Bottom line, we aren’t doing the little things that it takes in baseball; if this were football, we would have 3 lost fumbles per game. We have to stop giving away outs and putting runners on base via walk and hbp.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Lemon lost another runner on the bases tonight. Cmon Cheese

Yep. Because Stallman wanted to admire his homerun (that actually was not a homerun). If Stallman runs out of the box he makes second easily. The only way to fix that is to bench him, but you would complain about that as well.

Edited to add: it pisses me off that USM has a guy score from first on an infield pop up because he ran hard on contact (hustle and effort). Yet we can’t get to second base on an easy double because we want to stand and watch then jog to first to watch our homerun that didn’t clear the fence (lack of hustle and effort).

We did not struggle to put away ASU or VT. Neither of those teams had the tying run up in the last 3+ innings at the plate.

A 12 seed hosts their regional.

Anybody bailed Tater out yet?

Was kinda mid. Did get the whole little right field mad at us when Ace's bloop happened. They really didn't like getting the "your, fault" chant going back at them.

I seriously doubt our fans would even fill the Dude if we fell to a mid-conference instead of being in the SEC. I want to win in every sport, but we have to fix football and now MBB ASAP. We cannot continue to be a circled win on everyone's schedules in these two major sports. Where would we be playing mid-majors for all sports and not getting the annual SEC check?
