[dickiedawg]

Sure, Heck makes more sense leading off than Henderson or Armstrong.

[I seen it dawg]

Why are we playing Randolph.

[Coach34]

Why are we playing Randolph.

because he is batting .174 in SEC play- duh

[Will James]

Sure, Heck makes more sense leading off than Henderson or Armstrong.

SEC strikeouts

Heck 2
DA 5
Hendu 5

Heck's SEC OBP is higher than DA and Hendu as well. For those interested.

Heck takes good cuts and doesn't K. The 5 hole is an important slot as well. Not like DA and Hendu are hitting 8-9.

[I seen it dawg]

Yeah. And according to our opponents head coach "can't throw anybody out"

[War Machine Dawg]

Randolph is so bad. I'd bat Hendu 5 and Armstrong 1. CT in CF and Vick on the pine.

[I seen it dawg]

Randolph is a damn bullpen catcher. Wtf

[TheRef]

Weather-wise, the radar scans are clear for now...everything is up in the North of BR. I'm watching it closely though so don't fret.

[TheRef]

I might not be able to listen to this broadcast....this is about as pro-LSU as possible, but I should expect nothing less from CST.

[BulldogBear]

I might not be able to listen to this broadcast....this is about as pro-LSU as possible, but I should expect nothing less from CST.

I'm working this afternoon. The weather is terrible here. So, the game is on for today Ref?

[EEdawg15]

Excuse my ignorance, but what does CST stand for? What channel is that?

[TheRef]

Excuse my ignorance, but what does CST stand for? What channel is that?

COX Sports TV.

[TheRef]

I'm working this afternoon. The weather is terrible here. So, the game is on for today Ref?

Game is on and nothing on radar so far...we will most likely get this game in before the rain comes...

[Will James]

Heck

1-0 out
1-1 swinging fastball. good approach

Hard line drive out to RF

Good AB

T1
0-0
1 out

[EEdawg15]

Thanks Ref

[DudyDawg]

We need to start being more aggressive in the first pitch. 88mph fastball to Detz right down the pipe and he takes. I hate that. Doesn't matter what pitch it is in the count, if it's a good one swing the bat

[Will James]

Detz

0-1 take down middle
1-1 low and away
2-1 low
2-2 foul on pitch down middle
3-2 up and away.smaller zone than yesterday thank God
Foul. Good approach.

WALK

Good AB

[Will James]

Grizzly

0-1 Bullshit curve inside. Idiot college umpires are all the same on that pitch
0-2

K on check swing.

What the hell is he doing out there? He has no clue at the plate

[Saltydog]

a few cuts.

[BulldogBear]

Game is on and nothing on radar so far...we will most likely get this game in before the rain comes...

Thanks Ref. I can't check broadcast, tube or airwaves, so the only updates I'll have are right here when I can check the thread on breaks. Y'all keep me posted please.

[DudyDawg]

Also the ump looks like he's really giving the inside part of the plate for them. Especially against righties

[Will James]

Pirtle

0-1 Curve taking
1-1 curve way up and out
2-1 up
2-2 foul

groundout to SS

Going to B1
0-0

[TheRef]

Also the ump looks like he's really giving the inside part of the plate for them. Especially against righties

Most definitely...this ump likes to let you have the inside on righties...lefties not so much.

[Coach34]

We've moved Garner to 1st- time to let him get some swings this midweek...Rea is dying out there right now

[Will James]

Leadoff walk

[msstate7]

If we sit rea, does detz play 1st or who?

[Will James]

Pickoff!

[Will James]

Another walk….

[Will James]

BUNTFAIL

popup bunt to the pitcher

Idiots

[msstate7]

BUNTFAIL

Idiots

Steal so no benefit

[Will James]

SB for LSU

Man on 2nd
2 outs
B1

[msstate7]

You have got to be kidding me

[Will James]

Go ahead and get Lindgren loose..

3rd walk of the inning

[Saltydog]

Collins.

[I seen it dawg]

randolph cant throw out the trash

[Will James]

Dive for the ball!

Get Vickerson out of the game NOW

Basehit with a moron in LF in JakeVick

1-0 LSU

[DudyDawg]

If we sit rea, does detz play 1st or who?
Reid or Daniel garner

[Leroy Jenkins]

If the object of the game was to pitch 6" below the kneecaps we would be awesome.

[Quaoarsking]

That was pathetic. LSU's outfielder was willing to slide to rob us of a hit...

[DudyDawg]

Collins.
I agree although I don't see it as going for broke. He's just flat out better.

Hudson is overwhelmed right now

[msstate7]

Lsu's freshman pitcher last night was very impressive. Our freshman pitcher can't even throw a strike. Is Hudson the new super talent that can't get it done for whatever reason?

[TopconDog]

2-zip ballgame over

[Five-tool Poster]

randolph cant throw out the trash

He has a dead arm. Throws it to centerfield every time after warmups each inning, throws rainbows back to the pitcher after every pitch, and he sure as hell can't catch anyone stealing.

[Quaoarsking]

If LSU's baserunning weren't so pisspoor this inning, we'd be in real trouble.

I say put in Holder in the 2nd and let him go as long as he can. It worked against Ole Miss last year.

[Will James]

Another hit.

2-0 LSU

Out at 3B

End 1
2-0 LSU

Hudson's fastball has NO MOVEMENT.

He gets ripped every time out. Put in Lindgren and roll with him for 6 innings!

Why was Lindgren not starting today? He only threw 15 pitches yesterday according to HailState

[I seen it dawg]

We are gonna get pasted today

[Saltydog]

nt

[DudyDawg]

I'm hating this team right now. They don't seem to care or want to play. One of our senior leaders and guys like Wes need to light a fire. Cohen tried last night and they didn't respond. Someone on the team needs to speak up and wake everyone the hell up. This team is pitiful this weekend

[msstate7]

We've gotta score 2 to tie. We've scored 1 in 19 innings. Might as well take a nap or watch braves. This is over

[HailState39110]

2-zip ballgame over

It's sad when your down 2-0 in the 2nd inning and feel like it's gonna be a mountain to climb to come back to win. Unfortunately thats where we are with this team

[Will James]

Option A: 39 K in 21 IP.

Option B: Hasn't pitched in a month.

Who do we start? B

[Will James]

DA

5-3

1 out

[CJDAWG85]

I'm at the game. We have no life. We really can't hit either.

[Will James]

Henderson

0-1 curve take
0-2 foul on drag buntfail (Henderson not a good bunter)

K on check swing.

No approach.

[whosyourdawgy]

Time for this experiment to end

[Will James]

JakeVick

Drag single
Buntsuccess

[DudyDawg]

We need to go for some power see if that wakes us up. Anyone know the last time we hit a home run?? Give hump a try. He may go 1-5 w four ks but he'll give it a ride on that 1. Tired of watching infield outs

[Will James]

Collins

1-0 up

HBP

1st and 2nd
2 out

[Will James]

Randy

0-1 taking fastball in

IF SINGLE to the left side

bases juiced

[BulldogBear]

BUNTFAIL

popup bunt to the pitcher

Idiots

face palm in the computer room

...wait, WTH was batting, us or them? I may have missed something

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

We've moved Garner to 1st- time to let him get some swings this midweek...Rea is dying out there right now

Humphreys has also gotten a lot of practice time at 1st. Give either one of them a shot please.

[msstate7]

Dang. They're making plays and we're not. Lsu >> us. Hate it but true

[TheRef]

I swear....line drives are killing us right now. Heck has lined two that would be good ones if LSU wasn't so 17 quick...

[CJDAWG85]

Heck can't catch a break

[Will James]

Heck

0-1 taking off speed down middle
1-1 up and away

Just horrible luck this weekend

Heck lines out down the 1B line.

[DudyDawg]

Yet again we have a huge chance at a big inning. Just like Friday (I think) a liner right at the 1B gets caught. Heck tagged it. Just wasn't lucky

[Quaoarsking]

Just brutal. Baseball can be so cruel.

[DudyDawg]

I agree coach but rea is so valuable on defense. I want garner at dh but I don't think we can afford not to have Wes playing first

[DudyDawg]

Just brutal. Baseball can be so cruel.

The more tiring version of golf

[Will James]

If we use Lindgren for 15 pitches this weekend and get swept I will be pissed

No reason for this.

[msstate7]

I agree coach but rea is so valuable on defense. I want garner at dh but I don't think we can afford not to have Wes playing first

Rea needs a wake up call. We need his offense. I'd sit him for usm at least

[Will James]

groundout to Pirtle

close play at 1B

B2
2-0 LSU
1 out

[DudyDawg]

Hell of a jeteresque play by pirtle there. He may have beat that out but I'll take it

[BulldogBear]

Maybe our boys thought the weather was gonna get 'em outa playin' this 'un today***

[DudyDawg]

Rea needs a wake up call. We need his offense. I'd sit him for usm at least
I see what you're saying and I agree. I thought you meant for long term. Would love to sit him for one to wake him up I got ya now

[TheRef]

Looks like it's starting to rain lightly out at Box...not enough to call a delay, but something to watch for now.

[Will James]

Umpires are morons. Unacceptable in SEC baseball

Single after strike 3 wasn't called

[msstate7]

Looks like it's starting to rain lightly out at Box...not enough to call a delay, but something to watch for now.
Please rain! Rain out now! We're gonna lose if we play

[DudyDawg]

There's our one Detz can't make a play that Britton can play of the day. Still would rather have alex over there

[Will James]

Heck makes good stop but Pirtle off bag at 2B

1st and 2nd
1 out
B2

[Quaoarsking]

Can someone clarify the exact rule on rainouts? 5 or more innings, the game counts, and fewer than 5 innings, it's like no game was ever played?

[Will James]

PUT IN LINDGREN

Hudson doesn't K people

[Will James]

Single to left

Hudson gets ripped

Cant K anyone

put it Lindgren

[Bully13]

they are playing tough and we are not. they refuse to lose and we are accepting losing as an option. they are mentally prepared and we are not. I've got a lengthy meeting with my LSU buddy tomorrow and we can't even win one. why I decided to call him thur night under the influence and tell him we were going to kick LSU'S ass is beyond me. I just may have to stay drunk all week. **** this.

[msstate7]

Can someone clarify the exact rule on rainouts? 5 or more innings, the game counts, and fewer than 5 innings, it's like no game was ever played?

Think you're correct. Rain bc this weak minded team isn't gonna come back

[DudyDawg]

Bases loaded for lsu after some shoddy fielding. If they score, this inning will be a microcosm of the series

[Quaoarsking]

Should've pulled a Nicholls State...

[msstate7]

These big time recruits we got are hot garbage.

[Will James]

Well today Cohen is a moron concerning our pitching.

Double down the line

4-0 LSU

Hudson gets RIPPED EVERY TIME OUT

Lindgren threw 15 pitches yesterday.

[I seen it dawg]

I agree coach but rea is so valuable on defense. I want garner at dh but I don't think we can afford not to have Wes playing first

Not really. He made a couple of plays last year but its not so valuable we cant replace it. Britton needs to play everyday if you are talking defense. Rea needs a damn wakeup call. Our team needs a shakeup.

[DudyDawg]

Yep. Call me a prophet. Ground rule double. They spray it oppo to score two. We spray it oppo to end inning...

[Will James]

Hudson still pitching….

Cohen is trolling the fan base

[I seen it dawg]

Well today Cohen is a moron concerning our pitching.

Double down the line

4-0 LSU

Hudson gets RIPPED EVERY TIME OUT

Lindgren threw 15 pitches yesterday.

youre a moron about everything just stfu

[MarketingBully01]

Bases loaded for lsu after some shoddy fielding. If they score, this inning will be a microcosm of the series

Why we continue to play Detz at third is beyond me. We get two oofs to open the inning to lead to what could be a gigantic inning for LSU.

[msstate7]

We need to delay as long as possible. Stall, stall, and stall some more. Come on rain...

Damn we went from championship series to hoping for a mercy rain out

[DudyDawg]

Not really. He made a couple of plays last year but its not so valuable we cant replace it. Britton needs to play everyday if you are talking defense. Rea needs a damn wakeup call. Our team needs a shakeup.

How is he not?? He's made on error all season and saved so many throwing errors by his size and ability to stretch. I agree he needs to get his fat ass lit up and wake up, but it's asinine to say he isn't valuable defensively

One*

[Saltydog]

honesty he has got good stuff so I hope in due time butch can polish him up some.

[whosyourdawgy]

Why we continue to play Detz at third is beyond me. We get two oofs to open the inning to lead to what could be a gigantic inning for LSU.

Detz made a helluva play to make that first play close. Wtf are you talking about

[MarketingBully01]

Well today Cohen is a moron concerning our pitching.

Double down the line

4-0 LSU

Hudson gets RIPPED EVERY TIME OUT

Lindgren threw 15 pitches yesterday.

Two ground balls to the infield out infield should have handled for two outs is ripped? Our infield seems to do this a lot on Sundays. This is Vandy Sunday part Duh. The throw Detz made should have been an error as well. It takes a lot of effort to pull a 6'5' 1B off the bag. Our team as a whole has been shit this weekend and brought LSU back.

[I seen it dawg]

How is he not?? He's made on error all season and saved so many throwing errors by his size and ability to stretch. I agree he needs to get his fat ass lit up and wake up, but it's asinine to say he isn't valuable defensively

No its not asinine. He is killing us at the plate and his defense while a little better than average is not outstanding.

[NCDawg]

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we are not as good as LSU's baseball team.

[Saltydog]

you let a frosh that hasnt' thrown in a month stay in there versus bringing in the best pitcher on the team at this point.

[TheRef]

This is just painful to watch....I'm cringing every time...

[DudyDawg]

One error in thirty games is a little better than average**. He's saved countless throwing errors. I'm not arguing you about his hitting. He sucks at the plate in sec play I agree that's why I said he needs to wake up. But saying a guy with something like a .994 fielding % is "slightly above average" is asinine

[MarketingBully01]

Detz made a helluva play to make that first play close. Wtf are you talking about

Britton makes that play and not only makes the play but beats that guy at first with his throw by 2 yards. What are you talking about? Rea had to make a helluva play just to try to swipe the guy going by. Hooray, Detz got to the ball. Whooptie shit, Britton easily gets to that ball and lasers it to first and this threat doesn't even happen.

[msstate7]

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we are not as good as LSU's baseball team.

Yeah when they finish the sweep with a 10-0 score, I'm sure more people will realize you're correct. I'm calling 10-0 lsu. That'll mean they outscored us 15-1 for series

[cbrunt29]

This is awful

[whosyourdawgy]

Two ground balls to the infield out infield should have handled for two outs is ripped? Our infield seems to do this a lot on Sundays. This is Vandy Sunday part Duh. The throw Detz made should have been an error as well. It takes a lot of effort to pull a 6'5' 1B off the bag. Our team as a whole has been shit this weekend and brought LSU back.

You're an idiot. Both of those plays were tough plays. We didn't finish them. Now Hudson isn't doing anything to help us at all and Cohen seems to be just letting him pitch it.

[whosyourdawgy]

Wes Rea is struggling w a capital freaking S. He may as well not even take a bat out there

[Saltydog]

nt

[msstate7]

Rea is an automatic out in the 3-hole. He's got to be benched. He's bringing nothing to the table but better than average defense. You've gotta get offense from your corners and we aren't

[MarketingBully01]

One error in thirty games is a little better than average**. He's saved countless throwing errors. I'm not arguing you about his hitting. He sucks at the plate in sec play I agree that's why I said he needs to wake up. But saying a guy with something like a .994 fielding % is "slightly above average" is asinine

Apparently DudyDawg, they haven't seen our infield throw.

[Coach34]

Britton makes that play and not only makes the play but beats that guy at first with his throw by 2 yards. What are you talking about? Rea had to make a helluva play just to try to swipe the guy going by. Hooray, Detz got to the ball. Whooptie shit, Britton easily gets to that ball and lasers it to first and this threat doesn't even happen.

that's what people have to understand- that play is an out with Britton playing 3rd.

[MarketingBully01]

You're an idiot. Both of those plays were tough plays. We didn't finish them. Now Hudson isn't doing anything to help us at all and Cohen seems to be just letting him pitch it.

Whatever, we will continue to lose with Detz at third because balls will continue to go his way and he won't make the plays that Britton makes. He needs to be at DH not 3rd. He is not a third baseman. He doesn't have range and he doesn't have the arm. I guess I am the idiot though even if 80% of the board agrees with me.

[NCDawg]

Wes Rea is struggling w a capital freaking S. He may as well not even take a bat out there

He would help us more playing OG for our football team. That's where we really need him.

[Quaoarsking]

CST announcer just called us Ole Miss...

[DudyDawg]

I'm not sure what your point is there but it doesn't matter. If
It's that our infield arms have sucked I agree. But you can't say he's barely above average. A 5'11 1B wouldn't have reached that ball that I think Detz pulled him off the bag with.

I agree whole heartedly that rea sucks at the dish right now.

In other news, Armstrong is batting like .170 they said w runners on, .474 with bases empty. Seems like he should be in some kind of position that often has no one on base and is occupied by speed.

[msstate7]

He would help us more playing OG for our football team. That's where we really need him.

He's certainly not helping on the diamond

[DudyDawg]

Whatever, we will continue to lose with Detz at third because balls will continue to go his way and he won't make the plays that Britton makes. He needs to be at DH not 3rd. He is not a third baseman. He doesn't have range and he doesn't have the arm. I guess I am the idiot though even if 80% of the board agrees with me.

I would agree if Britton could even hit .220 but he can't. It's an automatic out vs an automatic error w Detz. It's pick your poison

[Bully13]

this shit has me so upset, mad and confused I don't even know who are what to even hate. I usually know at least what to hate. I don't even know that anymore.

[Will James]

youre a moron about everything just stfu

I just don't get you. If you don't want to participate in game discussion, then don't.

[I seen it dawg]

One error in thirty games is a little better than average**. He's saved countless throwing errors. I'm not arguing you about his hitting. He sucks at the plate in sec play I agree that's why I said he needs to wake up. But saying a guy with something like a .994 fielding % is "slightly above average" is asinine

We just disagree. .994 at 1B is probably close to the norm. Its not like the other Ifs because the number of chances at groundballs. So it makes him great because he doesnt drop throws for errors? Its normal to catch throws at first. Hes not ranging wide to his right and taking away part of the field. As I said he is slightly above average because of the way he handles wide throws but hes no gold glover.

[Will James]

that's what people have to understand- that play is an out with Britton playing 3rd.

Most likely

[I seen it dawg]

I just don't get you. If you don't want to participate in game discussion, then don't.

I will quit bashing you if you quit whining like a bitch so much.

[MarketingBully01]

I just don't want to get to the 5th and it needs to just rainout.

CST announcer just called us Ole Miss...

We always seem to have to deal with that....

It's like having your wife call out her ex's name instead of yours

[Todd4State]

Here's a solution to the third base quandry- the guy that can hit AND defend. Reid Humphreys.

[msstate7]

I just don't want to get to the 5th and it needs to just rainout.

Me either. I'd tell pitchers and hitters to stall as much as possible

[Will James]

The goal now should be to pray for rain and make the game go as long as possible until then.

Therefore we should have let Hudson stay in and pump flat fastballs till it was 25-0

[Bully13]

As I said he is slightly above average because of the way he handles wide throws but hes no gold glover.

I think you underestimate his glove at 1st. not going to argue with his offense. all teams have to have more productivity at 1st than what wes has been doing. but I've seen enough plays by that big guy at first to know he's a top notch fielder at 1st and that is not even close to being questionable.

[MarketingBully01]

Here's a solution to the third base quandry- the guy that can hit AND defend. Reid Humphreys.

Yes it is but it's obvious Cohen isn't going to get his head out of his ass about Humphries so I much rather have Britton out there even with his puny .125 average then O'lay Detz.

[War Machine Dawg]

Can we get a damn score? A whole damn page and not one post with a score.

[Will James]

Can we get a damn score? A whole damn page and not one post with a score.

4-0
1st and 2nd
Holder in to pitch (too late)
B3

[I seen it dawg]

its 4-0

[DudyDawg]

I see what you're saying and didn't take that part into account. I agree now. He's more valuable as far as catching and size but less valuable in other areas at 1B. I agree now.


Holder coming in like last year at ole miss in game 3 I think it was. Hopefully we come back and this is the spark for the rest of the year like it was last season.

[MarketingBully01]

4-0 LSU.

[msstate7]

Can we get a damn score? A whole damn page and not one post with a score.

I said he was slightly better than average and he is.

[Quaoarsking]

What if...it gets to the 4th inning and we just intentionally walk every hitter, let the score get up to like 50-0, but eventually it rains us out?

Would the SEC/NCAA go ahead and award LSU a victory anyway? How much would we get raked over the coals by the media?

[MarketingBully01]

4-0 LSU.

Shit, it may as well be 400-0.

[DudyDawg]

Here's a solution to the third base quandry- the guy that can hit AND defend. Reid Humphreys.

You're an idiot. That just makes too much sense. Come on don't be silly

Yep, save Lindgren for USM***

[CJDAWG85]

This is just ****ing embarrassing. We've scored 1 damn run all weekend.

[Will James]

Double to left for the left handed hitter

6-0

Man on 2nd

[I seen it dawg]

thats ****ing awful.

[Bully13]

MSU baseball right now is like the japs during okinawa. bringing in holder early while getting your assed kicked in game 3 after you've gotten your assed kicked in the 1st 2. "we're not done yet!" "we've got a kamikazee pilot for you!"

[msstate7]

7-0. Cohen should start pulling starters starting with rea. They don't wanna man up so put their sorry butts on the bench

[MarketingBully01]

Vickerson needs to sit.

[Quaoarsking]

Should've pulled a Nicholls.

[DudyDawg]

Damn we need something. Somebody needs to cuss somebody out or something.

Does anyone know who our team captains are?? Cause you sure as hell can't figure it out by watching. Isn't that why they are voted by the team to be a captain is to get team mates heads out of their asses and play. We look like a group of scared sheep with no shepherds on the team. And I can't get too mad at Cohen, he can't go get tossed from every game until we wake up. No leadership= no future in sports

[messageboardsuperhero]

This entire weekend has been one big ****ing embarrassment.

I am truly ****ing embarrassed right now. There is no leadership, guts, or pride anywhere on this team right now.

[I seen it dawg]

These guys dont give a rats ass right now. Im ripping everyone of them out of this game and putting all new guys in.

[Will James]

End 3

6-0 LSU

[DudyDawg]

Wish Cohen did have the balls to pull a basketball move and do a sub all 5 starters type move. Something, anything please

[whosyourdawgy]

2 plays by our outfielders just then sum up today. Lazy attempt front center field on the throw home. It was a good throw it just took him too long to throw it. Then Vickerson lets a fly ball get over his head. There needs to be some ass chewing on the bus ride home.

[msstate7]

These guys dont give a rats ass right now. Im ripping everyone of them out of this game and putting all new guys in.

Exactly

[MarketingBully01]

End 3

6-0 LSU

That double score two it's 7-0 LSU.

[CadaverDawg]

These guys dont give a rats ass right now. Im ripping everyone of them out of this game and putting all new guys in.

If we were playing the best players, most of these guys wouldn't be in there to begin with. I'm sick of seeing shit on the field and talent on the bench.

[CJDAWG85]

This entire weekend has been one big ****ing embarrassment.

I am truly ****ing embarrassed right now. There is no leadership, guts, or pride anywhere on this team right now.

Try being at the game with LSU fans asking what's wrong with us.

[I seen it dawg]

Does anyone know who our team captains are?? Cause you sure as hell can't figure it out by watching. Isn't that why they are voted by the team to be a captain is to get team mates heads out of their asses and play. We look like a group of scared sheep with no shepherds on the team. And I can't get too mad at Cohen, he can't go get tossed from every game until we wake up. No leadership= no future in sports

100000000% correct. When they came in the dugout Cohen should have just said "you 8 besides Holder just sit the **** down yall are done for the weekend. Bunch of pussies. And you arent playing Tuesday either."

[MarketingBully01]

2 plays by our outfielders just then sum up today. Lazy attempt front center field on the throw home. It was a good throw it just took him too long to throw it. Then Vickerson lets a fly ball get over his head. There needs to be some ass chewing on the bus ride home.

Vickerson just needs to sit. He is now hurting us in the field on top of screwing us at the plate.

[Will James]

That double score two it's 7-0 LSU.

Correct

[38843dawg]

They need to stay the **** in BR. What a complete joke of a team.

Vick not diving in the 1st inning too

[MarketingBully01]

If we were playing the best players, most of these guys wouldn't be in there to begin with. I'm sick of seeing shit on the field and talent on the bench.

True Cadaver but Cohen has his head up his ass.

[Todd4State]

Try being at the game with LSU fans asking what's wrong with us.

I'd tell them "what do you care?"

[HailState39110]

I hope we get beat 15-0 now. This team needs a good ass kickin .

[Will James]

Still antagonizes me on how we don't use Lindgren.

2 innings in a sweep.

At the end of this game he will have thrown just 21 of our 291 innings.

Thats dumb.

[DudyDawg]

Vick showing a LITTLE something scoring from first

[CadaverDawg]

Tuesday, I would start...

Henderson LF
Armstrong CF
Brown RF
Hump 3B
Heck SS
Hann 2B
Garner 1B
Collins C
Bracewell P

F the lazy veterans

[MarketingBully01]

He needs to score 3 more times to make up for the shit he already let in and that will be just him breaking even.

[Todd4State]

Vick showing a LITTLE something scoring from first

And look who drove him in- Gavin Collins.

[whosyourdawgy]

Damn if the pitch is within a foot on a big pitch for LSU it's gonna be called a strike

[DudyDawg]

And look who drove him in- Gavin Collins.

And look who just k'd. Randolph. Hate seeing his ass on the field. Can't throw, can't hit. WHY IS HE PLAYING

[msstate7]

Tuesday, I would start...

Henderson LF
Armstrong CF
Brown RF
Hump 3B
Heck SS
Hann 2B
Garner 1B
Collins C
Bracewell P

F the lazy veterans

I agree. If we win with that lineup, I'd use it Friday too

[whosyourdawgy]

Where is the rain for goodness sakes

[msstate7]

Where is the rain for goodness sakes

I think it's where our offense is

[whosyourdawgy]

I just looked at the radar. We are toast.

[I seen it dawg]

Bloody puss

[I seen it dawg]

Gentry is already fatigued from throwing 75 pitches in the pen.

[I seen it dawg]

7-1 to the fifth

[DudyDawg]

I think it's where our offense is
Starkville?

[whosyourdawgy]

Rea has struck out 3 times today on 10 pitches!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

I think it's where our offense is

The rain is on our bench??*

[Will James]

Put in Garner good grief

[DudyDawg]

87 mph down the pipe to Wes. Whiffs. Then fans on a bouncer. 3ks today 7 in serious. He must have something in his personal life going on because his head isn't at Alex box

[CJDAWG85]

We are swinging at pitches landing in the batter's box

[CadaverDawg]

I agree. If we win with that lineup, I'd use it Friday too

Yep. I'm very disappointed in The lack of leadership of Rea, Detz, Pirtle, Bradford, etc

[Will James]

DA opposite field hit!

The sweep is not official just yet

[Will James]

CT for Hendu again?

PH for Randolph later!

[I seen it dawg]

The love from last year is over. These veterans are ****ing punk ass bitches. They arent handling last years success very well and are hoping people will just give them everything. Play the young guys at this point to get some life.

[DudyDawg]

Cohen got half right by moving Vick from lead off. Now do the rest and put Derrick there. Been saying It all weekend. He's been out best hitter in the past week

[whosyourdawgy]

I hope ct gets new batting gloves every game. It's disgusting watching him spit on his hands after every damn pitch. Isn't that why you wear gloves to get a better grip on the bat? What the hell does spitting on them help?

[Will James]

CT single off the SS, we score!

7-2

JV up

[Bothrops]

I so beyond sick of being their whore. Wish we didn't have to play Lsu in anything ever again.

[I seen it dawg]

CT for Hendu again?

PH for Randolph later!

The problem with hitting for Randolph is the fact we are DHing Collins which is stupid. We would be down to our last catcher if we hit for Randolph this early. Cohen hamstrung us by playing Randolph and Dhing another catcher.

[Will James]

JV walk.

Warm up Lindgren please, especially if we put a few more up here

[Will James]

The problem with hitting for Randolph is the fact we are DHing Collins which is stupid. We would be down to our last catcher if we hit for Randolph this early. Cohen hamstrung us by playing Randolph and Dhing another catcher.

Garner

[Will James]

collins taking fb down middle to lead off his AB

[Will James]

taking curve

1-2 now

[Todd4State]

No, we would put in Cody Walker if we took Randolph out. That or we would have to do a double swith with Collins.

[I seen it dawg]

As bad as Randolph is you cant catch Garner in this game. Down to Walker and realistically that it. Just because Garner came in as a catcher doesnt mean he can catch at this level.

[Will James]

Shit

Groundout to SS

7-2 End 5

[CJDAWG85]

Twice in this game we can't get a clutch hit. 2 outs bases loaded and we come up empty.

[CadaverDawg]

Garner would have to have one arm to not get playing time in this catcher rotation. Give the guy a damn chance...he can't possibly be worse than Randolph.

[I seen it dawg]

No, we would put in Cody Walker if we took Randolph out. That or we would have to do a double swith with Collins.

And we cant do that because we lose the DH. DHing Collins is a huge wtf. Not more than Randolph having a uniform but a wtf nonetheless.

[Will James]

As bad as Randolph is you cant catch Garner in this game. Down to Walker and realistically that it. Just because Garner came in as a catcher doesnt mean he can catch at this level.

Just saying he can do it. Randolph is now leading off next inning but in that spot you hit Garner and put him at catcher for 4 innings. His lesser catching abilities are nothing compared to what we get from a bases loaded AB which never came because Collins didn't want to hit a fastball down the pipe on his first pitch

[MarketingBully01]

Now it's an official game. A lot of what if's bases loaded again and only get 1 run? Pathetic.

[CadaverDawg]

And besides, what will it matter? If he sucked and cost us 5 runs, we'd lose 12-2 instead of 7-2? Big F'ing deal

[Will James]

No Lingo means

His lesser catching abilities are nothing compared to what we get from a bases loaded AB which never came because Collins didn't want to hit a fastball down the pipe on his first pitch

Im not saying he cant but Garner has to be the absolute emergency guy. Hit Walker or somebody else for Randolph and put Walker behind the plate. And by hitting for Randolph you effectively make Garner a hitter in the ninth only because you dont have another catcher. The starting lineup killed our ability to hit for Randolph.

[Todd4State]

Garner would have to have one arm to not get playing time in this catcher rotation. Give the guy a damn chance...he can't possibly be worse than Randolph.

Oh yes he can. I have a feeling we don't want to find out why he's not catching.

That said- how about have Collins catch and Garner play first? That way we can get Detz, Collins, Garner all in the lineup.

[Todd4State]

And we cant do that because we lose the DH. DHing Collins is a huge wtf. Not more than Randolph having a uniform but a wtf nonetheless.

Exactly. I'm OK with Randolph as an emergency third catcher. But he's playing waaaaaayyy too much.

[CadaverDawg]

We could lose 4+ straight pretty easily. USM is playing good ball right now, and OM pitching could potentially shut us down considering we'd probably struggle to score runs if we got to use tees in the game. (At least we couldn't bunt off the tee though)

[I seen it dawg]

I like Garner at 1b, Humphries DH, Britton at 3b and Rea and Detz on the bench Tuesday

[CadaverDawg]

Oh yes he can. I have a feeling we don't want to find out why he's not catching.

That said- how about have Collins catch and Garner play first? That way we can get Detz, Collins, Garner all in the lineup.

Yep, see my lineup a few pages back. I agree. I'd have Hump at 3rd, Garner at 1st...our Hump DH and Britton at 3rd, and Garner at 1st

[I seen it dawg]

Exactly. I'm OK with Randolph as an emergency third catcher. But he's playing waaaaaayyy too much.

Yep. Collins is obviously our catcher. If he struggles so far with pitch calling make Butch and his muumuu call the damn pitches. Walker the backup and Randolph in the bullpen.

Part of the problem this weekend is our rotation was out of whack with Preston Brown getting hurt. Especially today moreso than Friday and of course Saturday.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's be clear on Randolph. It's not his fault that he sucks...it's Cohen's fault for playing a guy that sucks.

[CadaverDawg]

Part of the problem this weekend is our rotation was out of whack with Preston Brown getting hurt. Especially today moreso than Friday and of course Saturday.

Yea, and it's not like Fri and Sat were blowouts

[MarketingBully01]

I guess the thing that gets me is that we really should have won the Saturday and Sunday games. Nola sure you can concede because he only lost to Florida on a walk off home run in extra innings. These other two pitchers are okay but very hittable. Shit, the kid last night only had one pitch he threw. A freaking curve ball. That's it. He had a couple of other pitches but he threw his curve ball 95% of the time.

On Sunday, LSU was 0-2-1 and had not won on a Sunday before today. Let that sink in. I don't think they have super human Freshman playing for them I just think our approach at the plate has sucked so bad this weekend because our lineup is filled with no power and just a bunch of singles hitters.

On top of that, we have consistently let the one pitch of the at bat that could get hammered and gapped go by for a strike . I agree with Will on this. If they throw a fastball down the middle of the plate you take a ****ing cut at it.

[Todd4State]

Yep. Collins is obviously our catcher. If he struggles so far with pitch calling make Butch and his muumuu call the damn pitches. Walker the backup and Randolph in the bullpen.

I have a feeling that the other pitchers like Randolph on a personal level. And I think what they might be doing is telling Butch that they prefer to throw to him because of that. Just a guess on my part.

They might not like a freshmen getting in their face and telling them what to do also- and a catcher has to do that sometimes.

But if I'm Cohen, I'm stepping in and telling them- we're playing Collins.

[HancockCountyDog]

I keep reminding myself that I just wanted to be 6-6 after the first 4 SEC series. We will be 6-6, but I agree that it is frustrating to watch us on offense right now. Then again, that is just life with these new bats.

[I seen it dawg]

Let's be clear on Randolph. It's not his fault that he sucks...it's Cohen's fault for playing a guy that sucks.

Absolutely. He is probably a great kid and the kind of guy you want in the dugout....but he needs to stay in the dugout. He reached his ceiling as far as talent in juco.

[Will James]

Part of the problem this weekend is our rotation was out of whack with Preston Brown getting hurt. Especially today moreso than Friday and of course Saturday.

Lindgren Ross and Woody should start next weekend.

We cannot keep wasting Lindgren like this. It costs us chances at games. Bring him in today when its only 1-0 or…. gasp…. START him today and its a different game.

We are about to be swept embarrassingly to LSU and our best stuff arm threw 15 pitches. Let that sink in.

[I seen it dawg]

And if thats the case our pitchers need to be kicked in the ****ing face. And Cohen and Butch hit in the balls with a sledgehammer.

[Todd4State]

Let's be clear on Randolph. It's not his fault that he sucks...it's Cohen's fault for playing a guy that sucks.

True. He should be the guy that catches the ceremonial first pitch and plays with the kids before the game, catches in the bullpen and then comes in during blow outs.

[Bully13]

it's now official. we suck . there are no baseball euphemisms that can deviate from this fact. and when I say suck, I'm talking about our potential versus output. this is ****ing sad folks. let's just hope southern miss doesn't beat us in football.

[Will James]

I agree with Will on this. If they throw a fastball down the middle of the plate you take a ****ing cut at it.

Collins does this often. See last inning with the bases loaded.

RougeDawg can go further into our lack of approach at the dish

Totally agree with the first part about the rotation. Lindgren may be the type of pitcher that cant throw 2 days in a row effectively. Some guys just cant no matter how many pitches they throw.

[whosyourdawgy]

Welp that did it. I just turned off the espn app. The game yesterday will be the one that will haunt us. Ross pitched his normal great game. If only he turns that double play and doesn't have the error, we get out of Baton Rouge with one win and a livable outcome. Now we lose that heart breaker and then get blown the **** out on Sunday for the sweep. Let's see how motivational Cohen can be with USM and the Rebels coming up. Have to rebound quick!

[DudyDawg]

As much as our play has been bad and we have no players acting like leaders, it's who's playing that's our problem right now. Look at the board, it's mostly about who's playing and not playing, not how they are playing. That falls on Cohen. He's not picking the best team right now. He needs to make some serious changes or we will not host nor will we go anywhere near the state of Nebraska

[Todd4State]

I agree.

I think if there is anything that pleased me, it was Woodruff on Friday.

I'd probably go:

Friday- Ross. We might as well test out the theory that he messes up people for entire weekends.
Saturday- Lindgren. If he really is better coming out of the pen, let Fitts go through the order first and then bring in Lindgren.
Sunday- Woodruff. He's getting close, but I would be conservative for the time being.

And to top it off, this is not a good LSU team . They have a pitcher and Bregman. That's about it. They won't be going to Omaha this year. Those freshman pitchers didn't "wow" me. They don't have that closer from last year and don't have a kid like Eades either as the Saturday starter. There is a reason they were 3-5-1 before this weekend. Our approach at the plate made those two freshmen look good.

And if Rea is going to do anything this year, will he listen to freaking Renfroe and back off the plate? They are jamming you inside so you can't get full extension. Then you don't swing at the pitch you could plant into the bleachers. Shit, Rea should have at least 8-9 HR by now if he swings at the pitches they give him (strikes down the middle).

This ...
And for those who are wondering why we didn't swing at the first pitch after a four pitch walk, down 5 runs, learn the game.

[CadaverDawg]

Rea is just a giant CT Bradford. A singles hitter whose ass is so big that he occasionally hits HR's. He thought he was good after last year, and it shows, bc he quit working. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the perception I get

[Bully13]

we suck. period.

Yeah, it shouldn't have come down to them scoring 2 runs and beating us. The fact that we let a freshman allow only 1 run there basically beating us with one pitch should be embarrassing. We should have at least put up 4-5 runs . Shit, we had our chances.

[msstate7]

Rea is just a giant CT Bradford. A singles hitter whose ass is so big that he occasionally hits HR's. He thought he was good after last year, and it shows, bc he quit working. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the perception I get

[Todd4State]

And if thats the case our pitchers need to be kicked in the ****ing face. And Cohen and Butch hit in the balls with a sledgehammer.

It happens- see Greg Maddux and Charlie O-Brien over Javy Lopez.
