[Coursesuper]

Teal back in the lineup.

[Coach34]

Yeah- this will likely be our line-up vs RHP's until someone gets hurt or just slumps

[BeardoMSU]

Let's get it!

[CaptainObvious]

Im kinda scared to watch it. With all the hype around this team, just waiting for the burial ground to awaken! 🌋🌋🌋

[Skydawg1]

Just announced: DH tomorrow.

I've been watching their weather all week and it has looked great. Now they are expecting storms Sunday.

[WSOPdawg]

Just announced: DH tomorrow.

I've been watching their weather all week and it has looked great. Now they are expecting storms Sunday.

Yep, 1st game on Saturday begins at 1:00pm.

[HoopsDawg]

Not a fan of Wyers on the bench.

I would have gone Wyers at 2B and Frei in LF.

[BrunswickDawg]

Good start by Teel

[Tater]

say the line peaches

[BrunswickDawg]

I retract that statement

[HoopsDawg]

No lead and no jump. What are we doing?!?

[msstate7]

Stop trying to steal!! You suck at it. Just mash!

[Coach34]

Attaboy Lemon- keep getting guys tossed on the bases

[The Federalist Engineer]

Well no lessons learned - giving away outs- making catchers look like Johnny Bench

[Tater]

Evened out

[CaptainObvious]

First coaching mistake goes to State.
First error goes to Arkansas.

[Quaoarsking]

Attaboy Lemon- keep getting guys tossed on the bases

Why do you even say this? We got caught stealing far less than this under Lemonis.

Lemonis was bad for his own reasons. It's dumb to just label O'Connor's (much shorter list of) shortcomings as "Lemon"

[Tater]

Stop trying to steal!! You suck at it. Just mash!

If you watched the replay it was a run and hit and Reese didn't protect Teel. Teel stared at the batter. Arkansas just threw so high Reese couldn't justify swinging for contact. They had our play pegged.

[Quaoarsking]

CS by season:

2021 18 68 0.2647
2022 10 56 0.1786

2024 15 63 0.2381
2025 8 59 0.1356
2026 8 18 0.4444

2026 is as of this inning.

[HoopsDawg]

That was such a bad time to steal.

4 guys thrown out vs UCLA and now 1 vs Arkansas.

I hate hit and running with your best hitter. I want him swinging at what he wants to. I'm just not a fan of the running game when you have a team that can actually hit; that stuff is for teams that can't hit

you're missing peaches point. people here ripped on cheese all the time for baserunning blunders

[HoopsDawg]

Cost us at least 1 run. We will never know how many more. Plus saved Gackle at least 5 pitches. Im extra pissed bc I have a dime on us to win.

[Quaoarsking]

you're missing peaches point. people here ripped on cheese all the time for baserunning blunders

Sorry, I hold everyone to a high standard. If you want to argue that O'Connor has been worse than Lemonis in this one super-specific area (though in nothing else), fine, say that. But just kneejerk "hur dur O'Connor made an error so he = Lemon!!!11" is moronic and kills the point he's trying to make when it's not something that was a problem for Lemonis.

[msstate7]

you're missing peaches point. people here ripped on cheese all the time for baserunning blunders

Mostly they ripped on him for losing: 3 of his last 4 season were sub-28 wins. That shouldn't happen here

[HoopsDawg]

I hate hit and running with your best hitter. I want him swinging at what he wants to. I'm just not a fan of the running game when you have a team that can actually hit; that stuff is for teams that can't hit

Exactly. No need for over management in the first inning.

[The Federalist Engineer]

That was such a bad time to steal.

4 guys thrown out vs UCLA and now 1 vs Arkansas.

If BOC starts doing the micro stint and base stealing garbage this weekend. I am comfortable saying this dude is gone in 3 seasons. Maybe Vitello will be available in 2029.

[Quaoarsking]

I know we're all traumatized from Lemonis, but let's pump the breaks on that just a bit.

[BeardoMSU]

Here we go...

[msstate7]

I know we're all traumatized from Lemonis, but let's pump the breaks on that just a bit.

I think playing small ball with this lineup is at best gonna lead to underachieving.

[msstate7]

Hold em to 1 here

[Quaoarsking]

I think playing small ball with this lineup is at best gonna lead to underachieving.

Yeah, you just have to assume that the best coach in college baseball will probably figure it out. He went to Omaha 7 times (and won a title) with less talent.

[BeardoMSU]

Catching continues to be an issue

[msstate7]

Yeah, you just have to assume that the best coach in college baseball will probably figure it out. He went to Omaha 7 times (and won a title) with less talent.

Has to

[msstate7]

Boy, love 97, but I'd love it more on a corner. Don't like splitting the plate with it

[Tater]

Mostly they ripped on him for losing: 3 of his last 4 season were sub-28 wins. That shouldn't happen here

But just kneejerk "hur dur O'Connor made an error so he = Lemon!!!11" is moronic and kills the point he's trying to make when it's not something that was a problem for Lemonis.

Let me be clear I think it's stupid. But it's his schtick. Don't feed his troll and he'll stop.

[msstate7]

Nice recovery

[BeardoMSU]

Good job escaping with just 1 run

[Coach34]

Why do you even say this? We got caught stealing far less than this under Lemonis.

Lemonis was bad for his own reasons. It's dumb to just label O'Connor's (much shorter list of) shortcomings as "Lemon"

I'm being factitious

Trolls rarely speak rationally. They usually just smash rocks under a bridge in Shreveport.***

[Coach34]

Mostly they ripped on him for losing: 3 of his last 4 season were sub-28 wins. That shouldn't happen here

bullshit. Every time we lost a baserunner it was how we arent coached and Cheese should be fired

[Quaoarsking]

Don't feed his troll and he'll stop.

I take the bait every time. I know myself.

https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png

[msstate7]

bullshit. Every time we lost a baserunner it was how we arent coached and Cheese should be fired

Yeah, they fired him for baserunning. Whatever you think there, champ

[Turfdawg67]

Attaboy Lemon- keep getting guys tossed on the bases

Like clockwork. But you'll be fan #1 when we win, won't cha. Jeez this act is so tiresome

[SaintDawg]

Does anyone else’s espn app keep crashing?

[Coach34]

Like clockwork. But you'll be fan #1 when we win, won't cha. Jeez this act is so tiresome

Oh I love this team. But I will treat BOC the same way Lemon was treated

[Tater]

I'm being factitious

facetious

respect one of the only words with aeiou all in it in order.

[msstate7]

Boy, love 97, but I'd love it more on a corner. Don't like splitting the plate with it

Yeah, like that. They can't hit that in college

[Coach34]

good job Teel- hit on the FB- now a hit on the CB

[Quaoarsking]

Oh I love this team. But I will treat BOC the same way Lemon was treated

But no one ever complained about Lemonis getting caught stealing so often, so this is a non sequitur.

[msstate7]

good job Teel- hit on the FB- now a hit on the CB

And he's hurt. Great

[Coach34]

facetious

respect one of the only words with aeiou all in it in order.

I was using George W Bush English

[Tater]

good job Teel- hit on the FB- now a hit on the CB

don't you mean "virginia OFs <eye-roll comment>"

[Turfdawg67]

Oh I love this team. But I will treat BOC the same way Lemon was treated

You love us to suck so you can be passive aggressive just as much as you love us to win. You suck as a fan

[Turfdawg67]

don't you mean "virginia OFs <eye-roll comment>"

Exactly...

[smootness]

Oh I love this team. But I will treat BOC the same way Lemon was treated

Great, this will be so freaking fun

[msstate7]

Don't even care... keep hitting rockets. They'll find grass more often than not

[EdwardDrayton]

Just now slidin' into the seat. What's the recap so far.

[Tater]

baum walker is the real injun burial ground that hates us

side note hell of a double up in softball

[EdwardDrayton]

Kickin' it with Glenlivet 12 year single malt.

[Coach34]

1st pitch foul out. The epitome of a bad AB

[The Federalist Engineer]

Looks like Teel is a bit injured. Hits today are impressive, Gaekle is a 1st round pitcher.

[Turfdawg67]

Just now slidin' into the seat. What's the recap so far.

34 being 34. Course Super and Preacher Matt not here to praise his every word... yet. And we are down by one.

[EdwardDrayton]

34 being 34. Course Super and Preacher Matt not here to praise his every word... yet. And we are down by one.

LOL! <slow clap>

[msstate7]

34 being 34. Course Super and Preacher Matt not here to praise his every word... yet. And we are down by one.

Haha

[Coach34]

Nahhhh I just call out the good and the bad.

[Coach34]

This is the same as when I would call out the bad shit Lemon was doing in 2019 and 2021. Yet he could do no wrong with you guys then.

I dont change what I do based on the Coach

[Coursesuper]

34 being 34. Course Super and Preacher Matt not here to praise his every word... yet. And we are down by one.

Eat a giant cock. God I hate our people, we don?t need enemies we are the best at devouring our own.

[Coach34]

finallyyyyy somebody taking a pitch or two. Thank you 34

[smootness]

Eat a giant cock. God I hate our people, we don?t need enemies we are the best at devouring our own.

See C34

[EdwardDrayton]

Nahhhh I just call out the good and the bad.

Just a little ribbing Coach!! We do value your perspective!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Eat a giant cock. God I hate our people, we don?t need enemies we are the best at devouring our own.

Easy Course! He was just poking a little!! No harm intended I'm sure!!

[msstate7]

Don't get that 2-1 take

[Coach34]

Only at 53 pitches thru 4. Not good for us

[msstate7]

2-1 fastball, and he takes it only to swing at 2 pitchers pitches next 2

[Coach34]

Some better AB's after Stall's 1st pitch out right after Sully's 1st pitch swinging foul out

[smootness]

Need better ABs. But we will score some. Need to hold them here.

[Turfdawg67]

See C34

^^^^^ nah, he's blind to that

[EdwardDrayton]

Only at 53 pitches thru 4. Not good for us

Still think we got this though

[EdwardDrayton]

Need better ABs. But we will score some. Need to hold them here.

Yep. Just hold the line.

[HoopsDawg]

2-1 fastball, and he takes it only to swing at 2 pitchers pitches next 2

Im fine with batting a bunch of righties vs a LHP if you have the depth. I do not like it vs a RHP. Splits dont usually added up. Start your best 9.

[CaptainObvious]

We got em right where we want em based on 75% of our games against anyone with a pulse. No threat to score through the first 4 innings!

[Coursesuper]

Easy Course! He was just poking a little!! No harm intended I'm sure!!

With that one, I doubt it.

[Coach34]

Mac at 54 pitches thru 4. Not bad

[Coach34]

Im fine with batting a bunch of righties vs a LHP if you have the depth. I do not like it vs a RHP. Splits dont usually added up. Start your best 9.

Shit- who should be on the field that isnt?

[Quaoarsking]

This is the same as when I would call out the bad shit Lemon was doing in 2019 and 2021. Yet he could do no wrong with you guys then.

I dont change what I do based on the Coach

Except for the time you spent a whole week promising that our Barbay offense was finally going to break out, and when they actually just got 7 points and 205 yards, you came in here to gloat about how good the offense was and "it was almost on pace for 300 yards for a while in the 2nd quarter!"

[Coach34]

Except for the time you spent a whole week promising that our Barbay offense was finally going to break out, and when they actually just got 7 points and 205 yards, you came in here to gloat about how good the offense was and "it was almost on pace for 300 yards for a while in the 2nd quarter!"

And I pointed out clearly I liked it more and was personal preference. I said watching the Wing-T would be better

[EdwardDrayton]

Ace with the money rap

[parabrave]

We got em right where we want em based on 75% of our games against anyone with a pulse. No threat to score through the first 4 innings!

This. And on cue we cut into the lead.

[Quaoarsking]

And I pointed out clearly I liked it more and was personal preference. I said watching the Wing-T would be better

So you do "change what you do" when you like it more?

[Coach34]

Except for the time you spent a whole week promising that our Barbay offense was finally going to break out, and when they actually just got 7 points and 205 yards, you came in here to gloat about how good the offense was and "it was almost on pace for 300 yards for a while in the 2nd quarter!"

That's what you dont seem to ever grasp- I said I hated Leach's Airbone. I didnt say it wasnt effective at times. It was just a hard watch

[Coach34]

So you do "change what you do" when you like it more?

I never said Leach sucked

[smootness]

Need to tack on some more here. No ground balls.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ducks on the pond. Let's go huntin'.

[parabrave]

Just need a sac fly/ And thats how you manufacture a run.

[smootness]

There we go. Good job Reed.

[EdwardDrayton]

Attaway Reed

[HoopsDawg]

Shit- who should be on the field that isnt?

James and Wyers.

[Coach34]

good job Stall- we tied

[Quaoarsking]

I never said Leach sucked

I never brought up Leach, I brought up Arnett/Barbay.

If you really "don't change what you do" you would have taken that opportunity to say that that offense sucked, but you didn't, apparently because of "personal preference."

[smootness]

The announcers asking how you hit that pitch they keep calling a strike as a LHH. You don?t. Because it is not a strike.

[Coach34]

James and Wyers.

Wyers is not better than 34 vs RHP's and James is not good at catching. He is our 3rd best catcher

[smootness]

Stop talking football in this thread. The Barbay offense was absolute horse crap. One of our worst ever.

[EdwardDrayton]

I never brought up Leach, I brought up Arnett/Barbay.

If you really "don't change what you do" you would have taken that opportunity to say that that offense sucked, but you didn't, apparently because of "personal preference."

Y'all done towel snappin' each other's a$$ about football during a baseball game!! LOL!!

[Coach34]

I never brought up Leach, I brought up Arnett/Barbay.

If you really "don't change what you do" you would have taken that opportunity to say that that offense sucked, but you didn't, apparently because of "personal preference."

I was surprised Barbay was that bad of an OC. And our guys never got on board with him didnt help. That offense should have been better

[ScooterDog]

What happened to the sound? No sound here on the internet, ESPN3. Anybody else?

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh Ryder

[Coach34]

Woodyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....damn

[Quaoarsking]

Y'all done towel snappin' each other's a$$ about football during a baseball game!! LOL!!

No way. I'm like 1 good post away from Coach34 admitting that he was wrong to compare O'Connor to Lemonis over caught stealing AND wrong to not criticize Barbay and Arnett in 2023.

[HoopsDawg]

Wyers is not better than 34 vs RHP's and James is not good at catching. He is our 3rd best catcher

I like Wyers over Parker not 34. Parker is 2-2 but come on. James is getting better and better behind the plate and is a significantly better bat.

[smootness]

You cannot have Frei and Woodson both up the middle AND have someone rough at C. It is the right move to not sell out for offense at every position.

[smootness]

Tough spot here. Need to hold them to no more than 1.

[BeardoMSU]

Ryan doesn't have his stuff today, sadly

[Activated Alpha]

Whelp, there went our tie game. Swear that dropped 3rd strike was awful

[HoopsDawg]

No way. I'm like 1 good post away from Coach34 admitting that he was wrong to compare O'Connor to Lemonis over caught stealing AND wrong to not criticize Barbay and Arnett in 2023.

If I was picking a guy to run our program, BOC would be top 3. Lemonis would not be top 50.

But as far as in game management, it is going to be really close between those 2.

[msstate7]

Damn, we need a ss

[Coach34]

No way. I'm like 1 good post away from Coach34 admitting that he was wrong to compare O'Connor to Lemonis over caught stealing.

Not a chance. Both are losing too many guys on the bases. And it's not just bad calls stealing with BOC- we have lost guys on the bases in other ways. BOC is worse than Lemon on the bases so far into his short tenure

[HoopsDawg]

You cannot have Frei and Woodson both up the middle AND have someone rough at C. It is the right move to not sell out for offense at every position.

Wyers is much better at 2B than Frei. I would have Frei in LF. James is very athletic at C and had a nice back pick recently.

[Coursesuper]

Damn, we need a ss

What?

[Coach34]

I like Wyers over Parker not 34. Parker is 2-2 but come on. James is getting better and better behind the plate and is a significantly better bat.

Seton Hall is back. That means even less time for James at C

[msstate7]

What?

2 plays this inning that an sec SS should make

[smootness]

Wyers is much better at 2B than Frei. I would have Frei in LF. James is very athletic at C and had a nice back pick recently.

Frei in LF for Chance?

[EdwardDrayton]

Mc minimizes the damage on the E6. Let's get it back and then some.

[msstate7]

Mc minimizes the damage on the E6. Let's get it back and then some.

An unearned run... well, I hope that was an error

[EdwardDrayton]

2 plays this inning that an sec SS should make

The first one, yes. The second one, that was stupid hot.

[smootness]

Mc minimizes the damage on the E6. Let's get it back and then some.

Good job limiting it to 1. That is one thing we will need from all our pitchers. Giving up some runs will be ok, just do not let it snowball.

[msstate7]

The first one, yes. The second one, that was stupid hot.

It shoulda been an out

[Coach34]

Yeah this has been a quality start for Mac tonight against a Top 10 team.

[Coursesuper]

2 plays this inning that an sec SS should make

Wow, have you played this game past 9 year old rec ball? First ball is a topped spinning shot and the next is a 100 mph plus shot he made a hell of a play to get to. They were lucky it bounced out of his glove.

[msstate7]

And now a k. Have a night, Woodson

[smootness]

Woodson has to pick it up offensively to be worth having him at SS

[EdwardDrayton]

It shoulda been an out

That's a tough take my brother.

[msstate7]

Wow, have you played this game past 9 year old recently ball? First ball is a topped spinning shot and the next is a 100 mph plus shot he made a hell of a play to get to. They were lucky it bounced out of his glove.

Glove on ball 2 times and no outs. The level I played wasn't this level, and I damn sure didn't play ss.

[smootness]

Wow, have you played this game past 9 year old recently ball? First ball is a topped spinning shot and the next is a 100 mph plus shot he made a hell of a play to get to. They were lucky it bounced out of his glove.

The first is absolutely one he should have had. I agree the second was a play he could have made but no shame in not catching that. Decent play to get a glove on it and still turn it into an out.

[msstate7]

The first is absolutely one he should have had. I agree the second was a play he could have made but no shame in not catching that. Decent play to get a glove on it and still turn it into an out.

If I say something, he will ague. If c34 says something, he will get it tattooed on him

[Coach34]

If I say something, he will ague. If c34 says something, he will get it tattooed on him

I'm on Woody's ass- I think he should have made both. But also- Couresuper is right in that both plays were ****ing tough. Woody didnt get enough playing time last year and he is growing up every day. He is our guy and he just has to get better and better

[EdwardDrayton]

If I say something, he will ague. If c34 says something, he will get it tattooed on him

I don't think that's so but kudos for making me laugh!!!

[smootness]

Dang, Reese did not quite square that up. Needed something there.

[BeardoMSU]

Damn!

[Coach34]

Best player doesnt deliver- that gets u beat vs good teams

[msstate7]

Still plenty of time. Guessing their pen is lockdown

[msstate7]

Best player doesnt deliver- that gets u beat vs good teams

Yeah, seemed like a big spot to not score

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm on Woody's ass- I think he should have made both. But also- Couresuper is right in that both plays were ****ing tough. Woody didnt get enough playing time last year and he is growing up every day. He is our guy and he just has to get better and better

The second one was tough. The first one ya' gotta make most of the time. It looked like he guessed a bit on the hop and guessed wrong.

[Coursesuper]

If I say something, he will ague. If c34 says something, he will get it tattooed on him

Only when you?re just wrong. Speaking without any knowledge of the subject is what you?re best at. That take on the kid is brutal and you lack the knowledge or understanding to grasp why.

[msstate7]

The second one was tough. The first one ya' gotta make most of the time. It looked like he guessed a bit on the hop and guessed wrong.

2nd one was a tough play, but sec SSs should make it. The first isn't even a question

[smootness]

Best player doesnt deliver- that gets u beat vs good teams

No player is going to deliver every time.

[EdwardDrayton]

Just an awful pitch.

[smootness]

That dude was hunting for that. Did not need to throw him anything inside.

[Activated Alpha]

Knew that one was coming. McPherson was trying to cheat some of those pitches when he was losing his command

[msstate7]

No player is going to deliver every time.

Of course not, but when they don't, you usually lose to teams at your level or better

[Coursesuper]

Just an awful pitch.

Missed badly with a change up.

[99jc]

typical state choke job just when you start believing in them. it seems like we can't hit against really good pitching!

[smootness]

Of course not, but when they don't, you usually lose to teams at your level or better

We have plenty of guys who can deliver. We will score more tonight.

[smootness]

Alright, we are past the 6th, time for the offense to go.

[EdwardDrayton]

Missed badly with a change up.

Yup.

[GolfDawg]

typical state choke job just when you start believing in them. it seems like we can't hit against really good pitching!

Have you watched this team? Still 9 outs to work with. Dont count them out.

[EdwardDrayton]

2-4 on the road against #5 after six. We got this.

[Coach34]

No player is going to deliver every time.

Nope- but when your best doesnt deliver in big situations you lose games

[msstate7]

Meanwhile OM is beating bama at MBK and closer to Texas in baseball than us to ark. We are inferior at everything

[Coach34]

I would have subbed Wyers here

[Quaoarsking]

it seems like we can't hit against really good pitching!

Can anyone? That's what "really good pitching" means.

[smootness]

Rough AB from Frei

[Coach34]

This aint the ACC BOC

[maroonmania]

Just going to be tough if every time we play a good team we don't score anything for the first 4 or 5 innings. Our frontline pitching is pretty good but its not lockdown.

[msstate7]

Stop taking cebter cut fastballs

[Coach34]

10 runners stranded

[Saltydog]

What's the old adage, "Good pitching beats good hitting". There you have it. Bad part is we haven't even seen their ace yet. He pitches tomorrow.

[smootness]

Nope- but when your best doesnt deliver in big situations you lose games

They will typically deliver between 30-40 percent of the time

[msstate7]

What's the old adage, "Good pitching beats good hitting". There you have it. Bad part is we haven't even seen their ace yet. He pitches tomorrow.

It's the NIL age: if state is playing a sport, expect to lose to vs good teams

[Coach34]

Here comes Sumbitch!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Alright Jack hold the line and we can take this one late.

[msstate7]

Here comes Sumbitch!!!

Down 2 with 6 outs to go. Not sure I agree with this

[maroonmania]

Down 2 with 6 outs to go. Not sure I agree with this

If the offense doesn't wake up I don't guess it matters who we pitch.

[Coach34]

Keep throwing you Sumbitch!!!

[msstate7]

If the offense doesn't wake up I don't guess it matters who we pitch.

I prefer to save your best for tie games or ahead

[Coach34]

Down 2 with 6 outs to go. Not sure I agree with this

We have DH tomorrow so anybody throwing tonight is likely burned. We can still win this

[Saltydog]

This team could very well be coached by Mullen. Can't beat the good teams and feast on the bad ones.

[EdwardDrayton]

What the hell

[Coach34]

Good job Sumbitch. Lets score

[EdwardDrayton]

Avoided allowing them adding a disastrous third run to the lead. Let's get it.

[Coursesuper]

What the hell
Spike got caught, it sux.

[maroonmania]

Well, here comes Reese again.

[EdwardDrayton]

Where are ya' para. Need some soothsayer mojo again with Ace up. LOL!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Twelve stranded. Ouch.

[msstate7]

Ace may be a jack or a 10

[maroonmania]

And another fail. That's probably ball game.

[Pinto]

Bunch of damn betas. We needs some alpha males to sack up and play ball.

[Coursesuper]

Two not great at bats from Ace, was not nearly patient enough there. Got to be better there.

[CaptainObvious]

Twelve stranded. Ouch.

Reese has stranded 5 of the 10. Big game players come up big. Their pitchers are big game players!

[Activated Alpha]

Probably game on that last inning. Sucks because I really hate Arkansas. Was hoping we could win this one because I don't have confidence tomorrow

[EdwardDrayton]

Reese has stranded 5 of the 10. Big game players come up big. Their pitchers are big game players!

He came up big Tuesday. Others have to step up too.

[maroonmania]

Two not great at bats from Ace, was not nearly patient enough there. Got to be better there.

Yep, both balls he swung at during that AB were low.

[maroonmania]

He came up big Tuesday. Others have to step up too.

Yea but Tulane in Biloxi and Arkansas in Fayetteville are 2 different animals.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yea but Tulane in Biloxi and Arkansas in Fayetteville are 2 different animals.

Don't underestimate Tulane just because it was on a Tuesday. They are a good team.

[Coursesuper]

The SWC school that have been brought into our league are just the cringiest bunch.

[EdwardDrayton]

Here we go .......

[Activated Alpha]

Come on guys. Manifest here. 16 homeruns in a row.

[EdwardDrayton]

The SWC school that have been brought into our league are just the cringiest bunch.

The best comment of the night.

[HoopsDawg]

12 stranded. Lose a runner on the bases. And make an error. Gotta play cleaner on a Friday night in the SEC. This aint Boston College.

[Quaoarsking]

BOOM!

[smootness]

Here we go .......

Boom!

Made up for it all there Ryder

[maroonmania]

Well, new game now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Here we go ...... tied m17ers!!!! LOL!!!!

[Coursesuper]

But I thought we needed a shortstop? Way to go Ryder!

[SailingDawg]

Hate those free bases. Got one in our favor this time.

[msstate7]

Phone was dead on my deck. Came in and plugged it up just to say sorry to Woodson

[BeardoMSU]

Hot damn

[Coach34]

Boom mf'er!!!

Let's get a zero in the bottom. Cmon Dawgs

[EdwardDrayton]

Not Ace tonight? No worries. This is some special team fellas.

[smootness]

Interesting going with Miller here

[Coach34]

But I thought we needed a shortstop? Way to go Ryder!

Got to be patient as he grows up. People have to understand- we are talented but young overall

[HoopsDawg]

Interesting going with Miller here

Crazy move

[Quaoarsking]

Gross.

[Activated Alpha]

Would not have pitched Miller there. Not sure why we took out Gleason

[HoopsDawg]

Just a logic defying move by Parker and BOC.

[Coursesuper]

Well shit.

[Saltydog]

AND like I have been saying, we have issues on the backend. This team is good but it's not great like some of you think.

[BeardoMSU]

Great choice, Parker.

[Activated Alpha]

Well ****, we will probably get swept by those pig ****ers now

[SailingDawg]

Payback?s hell

[smootness]

We will take at least one tomorrow. Would not be shocked if we won both. Arkansas is good but they are absolutely beatable.

[HoopsDawg]

Zero blame on Miller. What the F by our coaches.

[Coach34]

Terrible call by BOC- Davis should have been the guy there

He's no better than Lemon- just more talent on the team

[msudawg1200]

God you're an idiot

[maroonmania]

Well, another game against a good team equals another 1 run loss. I'm sensing a pattern.

[BeardoMSU]

Terrible call by BOC- Davis should have been the guy there

He's no better than Lemon- just more talent on the team

Your commitment to the schtick is both commendable and pathetic.

[EdwardDrayton]

Jesus. We 17ed the pooch there. Serve up a 420 foot sausage ball. Damn. Tough way to lose but still feel good about the weekend.

[mparkerfd20]

Horrific coaching. Calling a spade a spade that's almost fireable to put in Miller there.

[Saltydog]

AND just like I have been saying, this team has issues in the backend of the pitching staff. This team is good but it's by no means great like some of you think.

[HoopsDawg]

God you're an idiot

As far as in game management, he is not wrong. BOC may actually be worse.

[Bdawg]

Horrific coaching. Calling a spade a spade that's almost fireable to put in Miller there.

Agree. They f’ed up! Period

[HoopsDawg]

Ben Davis was the clear choice. Unreal.

[Coach34]

God you're an idiot

BOC is 0-3 vs UCLA/Nasty Bunch/UPig

The 3 good teams we played this year we are 0-3. Who is the idiot?

[Coursesuper]

Zero blame on Miller. What the F by our coaches.

So you?re going to burn Davis right there. We have 18 innings tomorrow and the majority of our arms are available. They just burned their guy out of the pen. I know you?re gonna say no way, but maybe you don?t bring in a closer when you?re not ahead.

[EdwardDrayton]

The outcome is not a statement about our backend. But it does beg the question about putting a freshman in that situation.

[Coach34]

I can handle losing with Davis on the mound on a Friday- it pisses me off losing with a true freshman like Miller on the mound on a Friday night. Thats shitty coaching

[HoopsDawg]

I may try and win the fkn Friday night game when its tied in the 9th. I dont know, call me crazy. You have Pitzer too.

Also 20 pitches wouldnt burn him for tomorrow but it probably gets you to the 10th. This move was indefensible.

[EdwardDrayton]

Have to admit it's hard to understand that move.

[maroonmania]

I agree, we just don't that many reliable pitching options. As I said, if its going to take our offense 4 or 5 innings every time we play a good team to score, then we are going to take a lot more losses.

[Maroon Glasses]

Bingo. Miller has been pretty reliable. His only downfall has been the longball so far and it bit him there. The pitch was actually located on the corner but left up and the guy stayed on it and made a good swing. Win 2 tomorrow.

[Saltydog]

Ben hasn't been lock down either so there's that. We just don't have a closer and that's the honest truth. We just give up far too many runs late in games. You can't do that and win in this league.

I disagree from the standpoint that Davis in theory would keep us tied for 2 innings. I roll him out there and go the for the win instead of the freshman that gives up HR's with a 6+ ERA

I think it's a coaching mistake. Maybe it helps tomorrow but on the cusp right now- mistake

[maroonmania]

I guess its questionable whether or not to burn our 'closer' in a tie game on a Friday night, but right now we just dont have any reliable relievers. This team is going to be very dependent on the offense scoring.

Kid has to be put in high leverage situations now. He has the talent to succeed, just didn?t this time. It will pay off later in the season. By late April he won?t be a freshman any longer. But we have 18 innings tomorrow, and we saved our bullpen bullets while they burned their guy out of the pen.

[Activated Alpha]

Nah, Arkansas baseball is to Alabama football to us. Hate that club and their program and their fans and their state. **** them all

I guess you are one of those fans who defends the coaches no matter what. Couldnt disagree more with every word in your post.

[Saltydog]

The hell it isn't. He's part of your backend and so are some of the other guys that haven't been reliable. Look at how many runs we've given up in innings 6-9.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Arkansas cares most about basketball. They see baseball as a sport that’s fun but they don’t make it the main sport they care about and only care about.

And you arent wrong. I want Miller to grow up also. He is very talented. He will def see better days. He is a rookie
