same line-up

[Coach34]

wind blowing out again

[msstate7]

wind blowing out again

Sucks for us. That's their game

[Coach34]

Tomorrow's game moved to 10am

[Tater]

Tomorrow's game moved to 10am

Sucks for them we average 26 runs a game for games that start at 10 AM

[Leroy Jenkins]

Can we pitch and catch? This team would be #1 if not for WPs and PBs. But, you know what they say about "if and buts".

[msstate7]

Lhp gassing at 98. Damn, I don't see how guys hit anymore

[Coach34]

98...damnnnnnnn

[msstate7]

98...damnnnnnnn

Absurd

[Tater]

**** yea

[Tater]

Arguing balls and strikes in the first inning. Oh brother

[EdwardDrayton]

Our 'base stealer' gets thrown out at first on a double clutch. *****

[Coach34]

Their guy has some nasty shit but struggling with control. Dude has alot of movement

[EdwardDrayton]

Wes' crying got him a close call on the check swing.

[EdwardDrayton]

Do our catchers need glasses??!!!??

[EdwardDrayton]

I just sucked all the air out of the room when Tomas crashed the first base bag.

[Coach34]

That was down- cmon Blue

[EdwardDrayton]

That was down- cmon Blue

Yeah looks like we're going to be on the wrong end of calls again tonight.

[Tater]

Ump rewarding shit catcher framejobs.

[EdwardDrayton]

Gotta make Vigue pay for walking folks.

[Tater]

Gotta swing at breaking balls if the ump gonna give them the zone.

[msstate7]

Man, we can't get a key hit for shit

[EdwardDrayton]

Man, we can't get a key hit for shit

Yeah missed opportunity there.

[Activated Alpha]

Man, we can't get a key hit for shit

No bitching in these threads. Mama Turfdawg going to come in here and scold you

[EdwardDrayton]

Anybody seen another pitcher this season better than Tomas?

[Coach34]

Ump keeps helping this guy for Georgia

[BeardoMSU]

Tomas is good, right?***

[BeardoMSU]

Why are you swinging at shit 2-0?!?!

Double ****ing play.

[EdwardDrayton]

Tomas is good, right?***

Maybe it's like RPI. Have to play enough games before the take is relevant??!!?? *****

[msstate7]

This should be concerning: it should be a 3-4 run lead, and we only up 1

[maroonmania]

This guy is giving us all kinds of free baserunners but we can't do anything to capitalize.

[BeardoMSU]

This should be concerning: it should be a 3-4 run lead, and we only up 1

Yep

[Leroy Jenkins]

Anybody seen another pitcher this season better than Tomas?

Definitely haven't seen a better game 2 starter thats for sure.

[maroonmania]

This should be concerning: it should be a 3-4 run lead, and we only up 1

I'm actually a little concerned about our offense. Yea, we scored 9 last night but it was all after Georgia had a huge cushion. We just haven't been explosive at all in league play. Just a run here and there throughout games.

[EdwardDrayton]

This guy is giving us all kinds of free baserunners but we can't do anything to capitalize.

Yeah and we're not quite confident enough that our backend can hold a one run advantage.

[CaptainObvious]

The other thing the DP ball did is cut down his pitch count. He had 54 going into the 4th and left the 4th with 65.

[HoopsDawg]

Anybody seen another pitcher this season better than Tomas?

No

[Tater]

This should be concerning: it should be a 3-4 run lead, and we only up 1

Is your 77,777th post gonna be not pessimistic? I mean you only post in games we struggle or lose and mainly have pessimistic things to say. Seek a therapist because the completely negative view can't be healthy.

[Tater]

Yeah and we're not quite confident enough that our backend can hold a one run advantage.

I'm confident their backend won't maintain the distance and this guy has one maybe two more innings in him.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm confident their backend won't maintain the distance and this guy has one maybe two more innings in him.

I keep thinking we're gonna touch up Vigue and he keeps wriggling free.

[Brobi-wan]

Just got off the mower and about to tune in

[CaptainObvious]

So Chance sees fastball strike and fastball strike and then swings at the breaking ball twice, second one strike 3.

[EdwardDrayton]

That made ME wince

[Tater]

So Chance sees fastball strike and fastball strike and then swings at the breaking ball twice, second one strike 3.

The breaking ball that he missed would have been called a strike. That's the ump effect.

[EdwardDrayton]

Just got off the mower and about to tune in

C'mon Brobi. Where are your priorities??!!?? LOL!!!

Mine is knee high and I said it can wait until after G3. :)

[BeardoMSU]

We've stranded the population of MS, so far...

[Coach34]

Stallman killing us again. Dude has to drop and/or get a day off. Been great at 1st but he is not getting it done at the plate right now

[CaptainObvious]

Can?t get the ball out of the infield swinging at low balls!

[EdwardDrayton]

We let Vigue wriggle out again

[CaptainObvious]

The breaking ball that he missed would have been called a strike. That's the ump effect.

But why let two straight fast balls go by? They gotta start hunting fastballs in this guy. They have let him get more innings swinging at non-strikes.

[EdwardDrayton]

We've stranded the population of MS, so far...

Seems like more than that.

[EdwardDrayton]

Alright. We gon run this 17er this time.

[BeardoMSU]

Need to score some ****ing runs!

[Tater]

Best offense in the nation hasn't scored in 10 innings against our pitching.

[Tater]

Mike Myers music on 3-0 is so stupid. Halloween is the 31st

[EdwardDrayton]

And a Two & A Half Men Charlie "There it is!!!" See ya' Vigue!

[Tater]

Watch the slider and drive it into Adkerson plaza. It's not rocket surgery Milewski

[State82]

WTH Milewski?

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm really beginning to dislike this crew.

[EdwardDrayton]

Geez

[EdwardDrayton]

Tomas is going to have to go the distance.

[BeardoMSU]

Mother. Of. God.

[CaptainObvious]

Two poor coaching decisions in the 6th. Letting Milewski bat and pinch hitting Nunnallee instead of Wyers, Bevis, James, or one of the Diamond Girls for Teel.

[Brobi-wan]

Idk if Nunn should see the field rest of the year tbh

[Tater]

yea this board finna be ugly

[msstate7]

Blame the offense... they choked

[EdwardDrayton]

Idk if Nunn should see the field rest of the year tbh

I wasn't too thrilled about seeing him in that situation tonight to be honest.

[HoopsDawg]

Idk if Nunn should see the field rest of the year tbh

Wait, who did Nunalee PH for?

[Activated Alpha]

Whelp if we lose this game it?ll be because our batters have sucked ass.

[EdwardDrayton]

Blame the offense... they choked

They have so far. But still 1-1. We certainly could break out still.

[msstate7]

Whelp if we lose this game it?ll be because our batters have sucked ass.

^^^^

[Activated Alpha]

yea this board finna be ugly

Well we have sucked harder than Pam Anderson on a boat so of course these threads are full of angst and turmoil

[EdwardDrayton]

It is interesting. TV makes one mistake and Georgia capitalizes. We had numerous chances and couldn't.

[Coach34]

Let's go- hit the ****ing ball and support this Dude's effort tonight

[EdwardDrayton]

Wait, who did Nunalee PH for?

Teel. Which likely means his foot is no bueno from the HBP.

[Coach34]

I hit for Stall this inning if its me

[Coach34]

Teel

He probably has a nice bone bruise and will be out a week

[EdwardDrayton]

He probably has a nice bone bruise and will be out a week

Would certainly not be a surprise

[Tater]

^^^^

make this next one count

[Brobi-wan]

Sully on

[Coach34]

welllllll ok Stallllllllllll

[msstate7]

Hell yeah! 1 more hit!!!

[Brobi-wan]

Well well well Reed

[Tater]

Well we have sucked harder than Pam Anderson on a boat so of course these threads are full of angst and turmoil

we're playing a top 5 team that is the best hitting team in america and are tied with them through 6.5 innings.

if your standard is undefeated then you're gonna have a bad time in baseball

[Tater]

Hell yeah! 1 more hit!!!

good job. proud of you.

[Coach34]

Cmon Woodcock

[msstate7]

good job. proud of you.

We all wanna win, but some of us call out choking and not praising it. This game should be decided already

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn damn damn damn damn

[Coach34]

shit

[msstate7]

Like that: **** that! Watching a definite strike and not swinging. This team isn't ready for prime time

[CaptainObvious]

23 Runners left on base through 16 innings against uGA pitching.

[msstate7]

shit

The whole lineup is gonna have to throw away these shit stained underwear.

[Activated Alpha]

we're playing a top 5 team that is the best hitting team in america and are tied with them through 6.5 innings.

if your standard is undefeated then you're gonna have a bad time in baseball

No I want to win them all. Do I know we will? Of course not but I want to. I want us to beat good teams. I want us to beat ranked teams. So far we have struggled doing that.

[msstate7]

23 Runners left on base through 16 innings against uGA pitching.

Can't spell CHOKE without MSU

[Tater]

We all wanna win, but some of us call out choking and not praising it. This game should be decided already

Ok but 90% of what you do is call that out. You're hardly here unless we're losing or tied. We have 83% of our games this year but your post history and being a huge baseball fan would show us being a 10-20 team.

[msstate7]

Moment of honesty: I'm only here bc the braves haven't started yet. College baseball is a second rate sport imo

[EdwardDrayton]

We massively let TV down tonight

[maroonmania]

Well, when you have the power Georgia has you don't have to be able to hit with RISP.

[maroonmania]

Moment of honesty: I'm only here bc the braves haven't started yet. College baseball is a second rate sport imo

Every college sport is second rate if you are comparing to the pro leagues of that sport.

[msstate7]

Every college sport is second rate if you are comparing to the pro leagues of that sport.

True, but college baseball is the sport I care the least about.

[Brobi-wan]

Still 6 outs to work with

[CaptainObvious]

Who says Solo HRs can?t hurt you?

May want a rainout tomorrow. I suspect they will put up a big number tomorrow.

[Coach34]

Moment of honesty: I'm only here bc the braves haven't started yet. College baseball is a second rate sport imo

man thats crazy. SEC baseball is High A to lower AA level ball every weekend. You have watched 2 1st round SP's on the mound yesterday and today. We have another 1st rounder rehabbing another week or so.

2nd rate is SEC basketball. Very few of those guys make it to another level

[maroonmania]

Another run or two here may do us in. Our offense isn't all its cracked up to be when facing SEC pitching.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ace did not show a third baseman arm on that throw.

[HoopsDawg]

man thats crazy. SEC baseball is High A to lower AA level ball every weekend. You have watched 2 1st round SP's on the mound yesterday and today. We have another 1st rounder rehabbing another week or so.

Yep. Awful take.

[EdwardDrayton]

OK let's ditch the panties and put on some big boy pants. LFG!!!

[Brobi-wan]

Solo HR from Parker to tie. Calling my shot

[Brobi-wan]

Ignore me

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh cmon Wes leave Fartley in

[maroonmania]

Huge to get out the 8th without a 3rd run scoring. We just can't seem to hit Georgia pitching when it matters.

[EdwardDrayton]

Geez. Does Georgia keep a 'juice' bar on the bus??!!??!!

[msstate7]

Wake-up call for you: on opening day of mlb, Florida led all college teams with 12 players. There were 780 active players on mlb opening day. College players, in fact, don't make it that much in mlb. Florida led with 1.5%

[Coach34]

Wake-up call for you: on opening day of mlb, Florida led all college teams with 12 players. There were 780 active players on mlb opening day. College players, in fact, don't make it that much in mlb. Florida led with 1.5%

If you count up SEC baseball players in MLB vs SEC basketball players in the NBA- I think you will get my point

[msstate7]

If you count up SEC baseball players in MLB vs SEC basketball players in the NBA- I think you will get my point

Kentucky has 29 active nba players of 450 active; that's 6.44%. That number dwarfs mlb's top college team of players, Florida

[HoopsDawg]

Can?t defend BOC on that decision.

[BeardoMSU]

3 outs left...

[maroonmania]

Boy, we keep having Nunally come up in key situations. That isn't going to work. Put in Vitus or someone.

[Tater]

Some nights are bad nights. Given this is the second night our bats have scored below 4 runs out of 31.... not really worried

[Brobi-wan]

Boy, we keep having Nunally come up in key situations. That isn't going to work. Put in Vitus or someone.

Weird decision to use him for sure

[Coach34]

Grok say the SEC 86 players on Opening Day rosters in MLB- thats over 10%

[maroonmania]

Grok say the SEC 86 players on Opening Day rosters in MLB- thats over 10%

With NIL that's only going to grow. Lots of players that would have normally signed pro out of HS will be going to college now because they can make more money than what they would get with their signing bonus.

[BeardoMSU]

Grok say the SEC 86 players on Opening Day rosters in MLB- thats over 10%

Grok say, lol.

[Tater]

ump flipped a switch in the 8th inning and started squeezing both teams.

[R2Dawg]

We just sucked at the plate tonight. We have no hot hitters right now. We are certainly not playing our best right now.

[msstate7]

Grok say the SEC 86 players on Opening Day rosters in MLB- thats over 10%

Cool, grok says 103 active sec players on nba rosters, which is 103/450 =0.229

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Kentucky has 29 active nba players of 450 active; that's 6.44%. That number dwarfs mlb's top college team of players, Florida

Are they really Kentucky players when they're just 1 and dones only in college because they aren't allowed to go straight to the NBA? Every kid in college baseball gets developed for 3 years, and the talented ones could have gone pro out of HS.

College basketball is a complete joke of a sport. You absolutely can enjoy it more than college baseball, but the 1 and done thing is comical to give any school credit for that

[Coach34]

and of course- a catcher gives up another base

[HoopsDawg]

Boy, we keep having Nunally come up in key situations. That isn't going to work. Put in Vitus or someone.

We have Chone James, and Vytus on the bench. Drew Wyers. Even Bevis. Awful management.

[DawgFromOxford]

I like this team more when we are winning. Pretty miserable game

[EdwardDrayton]

That run hurt. Both the run and the way they got it.

[BeardoMSU]

Welp

[maroonmania]

Raymond can't catch a cold.

[R2Dawg]

Welp ballgame.

[HoopsDawg]

Cool, grok says 103 active sec players on nba rosters, which is 103/450 =0.229

Dumb argument. Who cares. College baseball stands on its own. Cool if you like pros better.

[HoopsDawg]

and of course- a catcher gives up another base

And it cost us.

[Activated Alpha]

Welp ballgame.

Probably so with the way our bats have been all night. Just infuriating with how last night went

[msstate7]

Are they really Kentucky players when they're just 1 and dones only in college because they aren't allowed to go straight to the NBA? Every kid in college baseball gets developed for 3 years, and the talented ones could have gone pro out of HS.

You should tell cbs that will broadcast college basketball prime time, while college baseball battles softball on secN+.

I get it: we're good at college baseball, but I'm sorry, no one outside the south cares about this sport. College softball beats it in viewing

[Coach34]

If we lose- its on us. Cant get beat cause we couldnt score 4 runs on a Saturday

[maroonmania]

And, of course, without the passed ball the runner would still have been standing at 2nd when the inning ended. Our catchers SUCK.

[msstate7]

Dumb argument. Who cares. College baseball stands on its own. Cool if you like pros better.

I tonight the argument was college basketball vs college baseball. College basketball is far superior

[R2Dawg]

Pitching wise we can't survive McPherson being out if we want to host.

Not sure about O but everyone is cold as ice after being hot. We got some trouble right now in mid season.

[Coach34]

You should tell cbs that will broadcast college basketball prime time, while college baseball battles softball on secN+.

I get it: we're good at college baseball, but I'm sorry, no one outside the south cares about this sport. College softball beats it in viewing

Strawman argument. Nobody anywhere cares about women's softball or basketball. Those programs lose millions every year. Thei ratings are based on DEI ESPN putting them on TV and viewed at BWW's and other chain restaurants. I dont know anybody that watches a woman's sport more than once in a blue moon.

SEC baseball makes money and dwarfs attendance than the women's sports. If SEC baseball was on TV as much as the women's sports are thrown out there? It would dwarf both of them.

[Quaoarsking]

Putting Ace Reese on any "midseason All-America team" was a joke.

[Brobi-wan]

Can’t win many games scoring 1 run

[maroonmania]

Well, got the tying run to the plate.

[West Tn Dawg]

Putting Ace Reese on any "midseason All-America team" was a joke.

I agree 100%

[maroonmania]

MAN, what a fail. Stallman had pitches to hit.

[Quaoarsking]

I hope our players feel like a bunch of jackasses.

[EdwardDrayton]

It is what it is fellas. Georgia is better than we are. And we likely are not Top Five caliber. So let's move on and get back to winning.

And I wouldn't be disappointed if there is not a game tomorrow.

[Bdawg]

Putting Ace Reese on any "midseason All-America team" was a joke.

No doubt.

[Coach34]

Grok say, lol.

I dont understand- it's the best AI app out there

[Brobi-wan]

Ace is so cold somebody should put him in the morgue. Geez

[West Tn Dawg]

They CHOKED both games away. Couldn't get a hit with men on base way to many times!

[Tater]

Just a bad night at the plate. Go to bed now and fix it tomorrow. Plenty of season left and shouldn't let loss 6 become loss 7, 8, 9, and 10.

[msstate7]

I dont understand- it's the best AI app out there

No, Claude

[State82]

Well there is no doubt who the class of the SEC is. It is not us.

[Bdawg]

We look like a steaming pile of dog s*** at the plate and at catcher. Good night.

[Coach34]

Got to win G3. Cant get swept

[mparkerfd20]

Piss poor unacceptable baseball this weekend. That's all I'll say. **** it

[CaptainObvious]

UGA goes for the road sweep tomorrow. Wes Johnson out schemes BOC to take the first 2.

State should certainly drop out of the Top 10. No heros tonight!

Valincius should sue for divorce!

[MBDawg601]

Georgia may be the best team in the country. Not mad at it, but I do begin to wonder if our team would qualify for TRT. Zero to no juice tonight. Felt like I was watching senior church league softball.

[West Tn Dawg]

Piss poor unacceptable baseball this weekend. That's all I'll say. **** it

100%

[maroonmania]

It is what it is fellas. Georgia is better than we are. And we likely are not Top Five caliber. So let's move on and get back to winning.

And I wouldn't be disappointed if there is not a game tomorrow.

I agree. They have way more power in their lineup and are better defensively ESPECIALLY at catcher. We might be slightly better pitching WITH McPherson but its close. We only scored yesterday once they went up by 8 runs which changes the focus of the game. And you don't have to hit for as high an average when you are slugging like they are. They just mowed through our lineup tonight.

[msstate7]

Got to win G3. Cant get swept

Doubtful

[Todd4State]

I agree. They have way more power in their lineup and are better defensively ESPECIALLY at catcher. We might be slightly better pitching WITH McPherson but its close. We only scored yesterday once they went up by 8 runs which changes the focus of the game. And you don't have to hit for as high an average when you are slugging like they are. They just mowed through our lineup tonight.

We win yesterday if Ryan is healthy. No question in my mind about that.

[EdwardDrayton]

Piss poor unacceptable baseball this weekend. That's all I'll say. **** it

In a sense maybe. But there's a pattern starting to emerge that we're just not top five caliber. We are no doubt good. So we just move on and beat the rest. And maybe between McPherson coming back and us getting better we can compete at the highest level in the postseason.

[Pancho]

I am old enough to remember folk saying that Johnson wasn't a good coach and Coggin wasn't elite enough...........they have a hell of a team

[WSOPdawg]

Georgia may be the best team in the country. Not mad at it, but I do begin to wonder if our team would qualify for TRT. Zero to no juice tonight. Felt like I was watching senior church league softball.

Bullsh!t !!! Georgia is no where close to the best team in the country. Had we not played last night's game with our head up our collective rectum, and our catchers forget how to receive the ball from the pitcher, we win going away. We've left close to 20 runners on base these last 2 games without being able to get the big hit when it matters (especially tonight).

Nothing like a big piece of humble pie to get our team to re-focus. Glad it's happening now than in June. Oh yeah, f@ck Georgia and Wes Johnson!!!

[msstate7]

I am old enough to remember folk saying that Johnson wasn't a good coach and Coggin wasn't elite enough...........they have a hell of a team

Imagine if they had our resources

[DownwardDawg]

We win yesterday if Ryan is healthy. No question in my mind about that.

Agree. And then the series is tied with one game left. Our fanbase is full of estrogen.

[Todd4State]

Georgia may be the best team in the country. Not mad at it, but I do begin to wonder if our team would qualify for TRT. Zero to no juice tonight. Felt like I was watching senior church league softball.

We shit the bed too much this weekend and have to clean it up. The first thing I'm doing if I'm BOC is tell our catcher ls that they're not doing one knee with runners on the rest of this season.

I think some of the hitting problems had to do with the wildness of their pitcher. When a pitcher is wild sometimes it's hard to square balls up but he threw enough strikes to be effective.

[Coach34]

No, Claude

What is better than Grok? ChatGPT is awful

[EdwardDrayton]

UGA goes for the road sweep tomorrow. Wes Johnson out schemes BOC to take the first 2.

State should certainly drop out of the Top 10. No heros tonight!

Valincius should sue for divorce!

That's the worst part. TV pitched his ass off again.

[HoopsDawg]

Need some more pop in the lineup. Hate batting Chance and Nunnallee b2b. Poor decision with good hitters on the bench. Frei can play LF. So can Stallman. Chone James probably can. We know Vytas can play LF.

[msstate7]

What is better than Grok? ChatGPT is awful

[Coach34]

We have a prettier stadium- but we dont have anything Georgia doesnt.

[Todd4State]

In a sense maybe. But there's a pattern starting to emerge that we're just not top five caliber. We are no doubt good. So we just move on and beat the rest. And maybe between McPherson coming back and us getting better we can compete at the highest level in the postseason.

The biggest issue over the course of the season is the damn catchers. If Ryan wasn't coming back I'd be concerned because then our rotation would have issues.

[msstate7]

We have a prettier stadium- but we dont have anything Georgia doesnt.

We outspend them in NIL. They have a ton of talent though in that state

[Activated Alpha]

Our natty team got swept at Arkansas. I hate it and I hate losing, but I doubted our team back then. I doubt our team now, but I'm hoping this is a punch in the mouth our team needs to get their heads out of their asses and start beating ranked teams

[HoopsDawg]

We outspend them in NIL. They have a ton of talent though in that state

UGA spends a ton on the portal.

[HoopsDawg]

The biggest issue over the course of the season is the damn catchers. If Ryan wasn't coming back I'd be concerned because then our rotation would have issues.

I think we have to just ride with Milewski.

[maroonmania]

If we get the game tomorrow, the weekend is tolerable but we don't need to be getting swept at home. Just no excuse in a true Top 10 team getting swept at home.

[EdwardDrayton]

I think we have to just ride with Milewski.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much choice.

[Cruz]

Stallman needs to sit a few games and Nunalee shouldn?t see another sec at bat. Why go with him over Vytas??

[Coach34]

We outspend them in NIL. They have a ton of talent though in that state

No we dont. That was one of Lemons problems- his NIL wasnt top of the SEC and we had dropped to the middle. Our guys stepped in last Spring to pump up the program. They were outspending us the last few years

[PGHBulldogBG]

At least when we lose games in this sport nobody nationally cares or knows. Unlike the 2 sports that get national recognition

[maroonmania]

Stallman needs to sit a few games and Nunalee shouldn?t see another sec at bat. Why go with him over Vytas??

Agree, not sure what the fascination is with Nunalee. Vytas should get the ABs over him even with a RH pitcher. And Stallman does either need to sit a game for Bevis or move back in the lineup.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

What is better than Grok? ChatGPT is awful

Since Grok is Elon there can be political motivations for both using and crapping on it. Speaking purely of academic study results:

Grok is best at quickly incorporating news (due to being intertwined with Twitter)

Gemini is best at being technically accurate and not making crap up (due to using a F ton of Google before it answers)

Claude and the latest GPT model are ranked at the top for "usefulness" of answers by the human users.

Personally, I use Gemini for accuracy, even though I have to prompt it carefully to get a concise answer. For a question like MLB/NBA stats, probably any of them will work since the info is easily available and not politicized and no 2nd layer reasoning is needed.

At least when we lose games in this sport nobody nationally cares or knows. Unlike the 2 sports that get national recognition

Hate to break it to you, but nobody really cares what we do in the other 2 sports either right now.

[Todd4State]

I think we have to just ride with Milewski.

Absolutely. The other choices are Jackson Owen and Charlie Woerner. And I don't think either one of them is the solution either.

[Todd4State]

No we dont. That was one of Lemons problems- his NIL wasnt top of the SEC and we had dropped to the middle. Our guys stepped in last Spring to pump up the program. They were outspending us the last few years

Lemonis was also losing a lot of support from the big baseball boosters. They aren't going to be eager to spend money on the coach when they don't believe in him.

I think most folks are beginning to not be as invested for any of the college sports.

Thats fine if you want to spin that. But the bottom line is Lemon wasnt given the money BOC has now or that Mini-Me has at Georgia. So when you hate on Lemon- just know he wasn given the same shit

Also remember- almost all of our best players are Lemon guys or his recruits. Most of this team is Lemon's.

You might not realize this but when we were #1 with Dak all my coworkers in Pennsylvania were cheering for us and paying close attention

How many of your co-workers can tell you what our record has been the last 2 seasons?

I said right now. Oh yea, if we were Top 10 in the country in college football lots would care. That year everybody cared about us.

Our catchers use mitts where it reminds me of the days when I would get a brand new glove that hadn't been broken in yet and balls would just fall out because it was difficult to clasp the ball. I've seen our catchers drop balls that are hit them right in the glove right in the middle of the strike zone. Apparently their mitts aren't broken in. :(

If you look closely at a Catcher mitt these days some of them are glorified 1st baseman gloves. And the one knee other leg extended stance/squat is what these kids have been taught the last few years. Someone who coaches can explain why but I see it in the High School games and at the Minor league games.

Dude, he had lost that a year before he was gone, he has a few Madison county boosters left and the ready were out.

UGA is plain better and they bagged this series. But these are competitive ball games. Not horrible games.

MSU probably needed this reality check.

Have to rethink the batting order. Reece is a good ball player but he's not Rooker 2.0 or Tanner Allen. No saying bench or batting 8th or something. But from UCLA and other key games, he doesn't produce big hits. It was Chone James that got the key triple In Oxford like Tanner Allen would. In that key moment, Reece would have popped up. Stallman a sharp grounder to 2nd. Teel K'ed. The chosen ones are Sully, Bryce, Parker, and James.

Stallman needs to platoon with Bevis. Many of these players were hitting better as platoon. No reason to ice Wyers, Bevis, James, and Vystas.

I agree. Everybody we have played has made lineup adjustments in where their guys bat. We move Beans up to 6th in one game and back to 9th. Reese continues to beat balls into the ground, k on bad pitches or hit weak fly balls, yet he stays at number 2. Teel has probably struck out more than any other lead off batter in the league. Stallman is feast or famine and lately all famine.

With Lemonis, et, al; they didn?t know when to pull a pitcher until it was too late. Looks like BOC is too locked in on this lineup in this order.

Bevis, Wyers, James, Vytas, need some PT and not just Pinch Hitting. It is obvious he doesn?t trust Mershon at all or we would have seen more of him. Game must be too fast for him right now.

Georgia changed the pieces around but kept the LH in against our LH and got a line drive HR out of it. They got an oppo HR out of their 8 hole batter.

Our guys looked like the old Punch and Judy batters of old. Couldn?t get the ball out of the infield with runners on base.

Idk if they're better than us. Looks like we're just in one of those ruts that happen in baseball where we can't get key hits. I wouldn't take anything too big from a weekend series where they've won 2 close games so far.

A lot of people have yet to realize that State is in the SEC to provide wins for the big boys. It has for the most part always been this way.

That isn't supposed to be the case in the case of cash made available for BOC. BOC needs some time to recruit better players in a spot or two to be on the level of teams like georgia and their HC. No knock on BOC, just the facts as they are currently.
