MSU vs. Jacksonville State Game Thread

[TheRef]

And here we go with the lineup...the winner is:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BmgMMZjIQAA9b4j.png

Hump at DH, Collins catching, OF consists of CT, Hendu, and Cody Brown. Laster is SP

[DawgSaint]

Looking for Laster to have another good night on the mound. Of course, hoping he doesn't hit six batters.

[Todd4State]

Meltdown about CT batting second in five.....four.....

[Todd4State]

Looking for Laster to have another good night on the mound. Of course, hoping he doesn't hit six batters.

I might be biased.....but I kind of thought the Ole Miss hitters were diving in to his pitches. At least a little bit. I saw some knee turns from their hitters in that sixth inning where they got him out of the game.

[HoopsDawg]

to me, this is the best lineup we have had in a while.

[mparkerfd20]

This looks like the best lineup we've had to date hands down.

[BulldogBear]

Okay I'm wondering why I've got Robb Jay's voice in my ear instead of Jim Ellis. First pitch is at 6:30 pm right? Weather delay or anything?

Yupp...6:30 first pitch and it's a LOCAL broadcast only.

[BulldogBear]

Uh huh. Thanks for the info Ref. Well, another night of following on the thread. Somebody give some updates if you're able. There are many, myself included, who will appreciate it. Hail State!

I know..I wish I had better news for y'all on the broadcast. Radio is local only and tv will be by HailStateTV. Only two ways of listening/watching.

[mparkerfd20]

A constant embarrassment continues. Games this late in season should always be network broadcasts.

[Coach34]

yeah- we got friends coming over and I'm grilling. Updates appreciated

I'll do one of the games this weekend

[Will James]

Meltdown about CT batting second in five.....four.....

Well they are starting a left handed pitcher.....

[msstate7]

Well they are starting a left handed pitcher.....

Exactly. I have no problem hitting ct high against rhp. Against lhp, sit him

[msstate7]

Anyone watching/listening?

[Will James]

Jesus...

CT buntFAIL.

[msstate7]

Update?

[Will James]

CT popped a bunt up... To the 2nd baseman.

JSU has hit 2 to the warning track, one an out the other a ground rule double.

Mid 2nd 0-0

[RossDawg82]

What citation is MSU radio?

[Will James]

What citation is MSU radio?

Speeding

[msstate7]

Mid 2nd 0-0

Thanks

[RossDawg82]

Shit, I meant station

[Will James]

Shit, I meant station

I know bud, I have no clue

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Keep it up will. Play by play. Im traveling (shocker)

[Will James]

Keep it up will. Play by play. Im traveling (shocker)

Cant pull a play by play. At the game. Too much.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Cant pull a play by play. At the game. Too much.

10-4

[Will James]

0-0 thru 3

[Will James]

Hit and run with GAVIN COLLINS... With a man on 1st no outs... Double play 1-4-3.

Why Cohen, do you have to meddle? Why are you so egotistical? It's not about YOU.

0-0 thru 4.

[DownwardDawg]

Well thanks for whatever updates you can give.

[sbcmortgageman]

We. Suck. At. Hitting.

[Will James]

0-0 thru 5

[DownwardDawg]

We. Suck. At. Hitting.

Yes we do.

[Will James]

1st and 2nd no outs.

CT squares around to bunt. Takes strike one. BuntFail. Squares around and takes strike 2. Bad call but now 0-2 trying to bunt....

Hard lineout to right. Wish we would have had a full at bat there John.

[BeardoMSU]

Whats up the radio broadcast? I'm gettin' nothing but fuzz.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Pirtle strikes out on a 3-2 count with runners at the corners. 2 outs now in bottom 6 th

[Will James]

Collins lets fastball down the pipe go then K's on the third curveball in the dirt he saw that at bat. Bullshit approach. Holy crap our offense is very bad sometimes.

[Will James]

0-0 thru 6

[State82]

2 hits. 2 hits! Thru 6 innings against the #150 rpi team.

[Will James]

Play the WJ all stars if you want to score!!! Detz PH BOMB!!!!!

[DownwardDawg]

We will win 1-0

Laster is a beast.

[Will James]

Lindgren coming in. Cohen not messing around anymore, play the WJ all stars and you win ball games

[BulldogBear]

10-4

Dang, I thought that was the score. This was the first comment I saw when I came back on. Was only slightly fearful it was in fact 10-4 JSU

[Will James]

Passed ball Collins strikes again. Looked from the stands he offered at that. Cohen not arguing tho.

[Will James]

2 passed balls on Collins and we are tied. Wow.

[msstate7]

This team makes me sick to my stomach

[BulldogBear]

It's 1-1?

[Will James]

2 groundouts and a K. Lindgren rolls. Collinsfail.

[msstate7]

It's 1-1?

Two evenly matched teams

[Will James]

It's 1-1?

Yes. Mid 8.

[Will James]

Britton leadoff single

dont bunt

[BulldogBear]

Britton leadoff single

dont even think about bunting

Fixed that

[DownwardDawg]

Britton leadoff single

dont bunt

You know he will.

[Will James]

Britton caught stealing. Cohen couldn't help but try to make it about him. Leadoff man on with the top of the order and Cohen just HAS to do something.

2 outs.

[Will James]

CT sharp lineout.

Good batters coming up in the 9th for the ol Bulldogs.

[mparkerfd20]

We have good batters?? Really? I bet you laughed as you typed that.

[Will James]

We have good batters?? Really? I bet you laughed as you typed that.

Relatively speaking of course*

pirtle hits and you have DA on the bench. Detz again. And Rea could get a JSU fastball and rope it. Best we can hope for at least.

[maroonmania]

Feels like our postseason is now teetering on the brink. IF it even matters anymore given how pathetic we are playing.

[Bucky Dog]

Just catching up here. Who did Detz PH for? I liked this lineup a lot when I saw it other than maybe Armstrong being in center for CT.

[Will James]

3rd passed ball by Collins. If he wasn't hitting next inning.....

[maroonmania]

And ANOTHER ball gets by Collins.

[Will James]

Randolph in to catch. This is SEC baseball we are talking about.

[Will James]

Oh no we suck again!

1st and 3rd. 1 out.

[Will James]

Holder coming in

[messageboardsuperhero]

Do we have a catcher who wants to catch Jacob Lindgren? Good God.

[maroonmania]

And ANOTHER.

[Rick Danko]

If we lose, frankly we don't deserve the postseason. In fact, even if we win, maybe....

[bulldogcountry1]

Lindgren must have excellent stuff**

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

5 pass balls? Im sure all were the catchers fault in 1 inning.

How many did he have before?

[Will James]

Squeeze puts them up 2-1

[msstate7]

I hear how well Cohen recruits, but I can't tell by watching. This collection of players is just plain shitty

[maroonmania]

And there goes what little was left of the season. Imagine a team actually executing a suicide squeeze.

[messageboardsuperhero]

In this inning, they have scored a run off no hits, two walks, two passed balls, and a ****ing bunt.

[BulldogBear]

Is this what is inside our coach's minds in-game....is this....what #cohening looks like?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVk5qgkjtag

[messageboardsuperhero]

And a double play ends the top of the 9th. This ****ing game would be over if our catchers knew how to catch a baseball.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I hear how well Cohen recruits, but I can't tell by watching. This collection of players is just plain shitty

This is BS. We dont recruit to the upper echelon of sec ball yet. Cohen got us 2 games from a title. You guys kill me. Yall act like we have all this talent and it is coaching.

We have 1 player that has a shot at professional baseball. Last year 2.

We dont have a stock pile of talent but yet, even at a baseball school, cohen has done more in 5 yrs than the inventor of college baseball did in 40.

Accept this.
We suck this year: we wont always suck. that is "beisbol"

[msstate7]

And a double play ends the top of the 9th. This ****ing game would be over if our catchers knew how to catch a baseball.

Even if we win 1-0, there's still major issues with this team.

[Lefthandersrule]

Where are the catchers tonight?

[maroonmania]

And a double play ends the top of the 9th. This ****ing game would be over if our catchers knew how to catch a baseball.

I don't know, its still freakin' sucks that we have ONE run against Jacksonville St.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

So defense or offense? What do you want?

I dont really give a shit if we lose this game but these threads are awful. Yall bitch and moan and then the next game do the opposite.

Collins is the only guy that is a pro besides lindgren. Let him take his lumps.

And all these pass balls arent on collins. Lindgren gonna lindgren

[messageboardsuperhero]

Ball game. We lose to Jacksonville ****ing State. I am truly disgusted with this team.

[C222]

Embarrassing.

[mparkerfd20]

I give up. Wake me when it's football season

[HailState39110]

This team doesn't deserve to be in the postseason

[msstate7]

How fitting that Wes rea ends this game. Rea is probably my least favorite diamond dog ever. What a crap season he has delivered.

[Will James]

Did I say this was 2012 or what..

eerily similar to the 2012 loss to central Arkansas late in the year. Aka the worst game ever. This one is close.

[Todd4State]

Lindgren coming in. Cohen not messing around anymore, play the WJ all stars and you win ball games

I'm too pissed off to even rub this in.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

How fitting that Wes rea ends this game. Rea is probably my least favorite diamond dog ever. What a crap season he has delivered.

Crap season for sure. I think we need these sometimes. Makes coaches get the fire. We arent a good team this year. We will be back.

Just accept we arent great. We will make a regional and that is probably all. I dont get to upset at baseball games anymore. We will be fine but we need to make some adjustments for next season.

[Will James]

So defense or offense? What do you want?

I dont really give a shit if we lose this game but these threads are awful. Yall bitch and moan and then the next game do the opposite.

Collins is the only guy that is a pro besides lindgren. Let him take his lumps.

And all these pass balls arent on collins. Lindgren gonna lindgren

From the guy not watching. It was 1000000% Collins.

[msstate7]

We just lost a lead to jsu with our best 2 relief pitchers. Wow. Let's just play the freshmen and throw this season out with the garbage.

[Will James]

I'm too pissed off to even rub this in.

Collins didnt make the WJ Allstar team

[starkvegasdawg]

I wonder if Cohen still senses something special in the dugout?

[Bucky Dog]

Did we only have 3 hits?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I'm too pissed off to even rub this in.

Well he is the epic fail of all time. Wills problem is he cant keep his mouth shut. Everyone is right sometimes. His
Problem is he is wrong 90% of the time and when he is right, he pulls his dick out.
Just call the plays and stfu. That is why everyone hates him.

"Oh wow, we shouldnt have stole 2nd bc we got thrown out"

No fn shit sherlock

[Quaoarsking]

Sometimes you lose in baseball. NBD.

We aren't going to host. We are going to be in a Regional. Tonight changed nothing, probably not our destination or seed. Obviously I wish we had won, and hopefully somebody on the team learns something from this.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Crap season for sure. I think we need these sometimes. Makes coaches get the fire. We arent a good team this year. We will be back.

Just accept we arent great. We will make a regional and that is probably all. I dont get to upset at baseball games anymore. We will be fine but we need to make some adjustments for next season.

Quite frankly, that is far from a guarantee at this point.

My dad is sitting 15 feet behind collins numb nuts

Actually, we are a series loss to Auburn from sitting at home.

[msstate7]

Quite frankly, that is far from a guarantee at this point.

I agree. If I had to lay money down on our remaining series, I'd bet against us all 3

Please explain to me why we are for sure going to be in a regional.

[Quaoarsking]

Quite frankly, that is far from a guarantee at this point.

As long as we go 3-6 over our last 9, we're a lock. 2-7 and we're probably in.

Granted, it's not a guarantee, but it's extremely likely.

[Will James]

My dad is sitting 15 feet behind collins numb nuts

So everyone in thread was bashing Collins for no reason.. Lets take a poll, was Collins to blame for those passed balls or no? Why the hell do you think he got taken out mid inning

[msstate7]

I disagree. If we lose these last 3 series, we'll be home and we should be

[quickstrike2]

Lol at this baseball team. They don't give a shit, so neither do I at this point.

[Quaoarsking]

Actually, we are a series loss to Auburn from sitting at home.

So you're telling me that if we go 1-2 against Auburn, 2-1 against Tennessee, and 1-2 against Alabama that the committee would leave us out?

Has a 15-15 SEC team ever been left out since the tournament expanded to 64? (Answer: No.) Only rarely have 14-16 teams ever been left out, and they all had much worse RPIs or were below .500 overall.

[bluelightstar]

As long as we go 3-6 over our last 9, we're a lock. 2-7 and we're probably in.

Granted, it's not a guarantee, but it's extremely likely.

You think we'd be a lock at 31-24 with an RPI likely in the 50s? And yes, I think it's becoming quite easy to make an argument to leave us out. Need 2 series wins to be safe, I would guess. 1 might be enough.

[DawgSaint]

Sickening!!!! Disgusting!!! Pathetic!!! That's all I got to say about that!

[Will James]

As long as we go 3-6 over our last 9, we're a lock. 2-7 and we're probably in.

Granted, it's not a guarantee, but it's extremely likely.

Meh our RPI not gonna make this true I think.

Sometimes you lose in baseball. NBD.

We aren't going to host. We are going to be in a Regional. Tonight changed nothing, probably not our destination or seed. Obviously I wish we had won, and hopefully somebody on the team learns something from this.

You are right about this. Honestly, this was our least important game left. Winning it really wouldn't change much for us one way or the other.

[Quaoarsking]

I disagree. If we lose these last 3 series, we'll be home and we should be

We would still be 14-16. SEC teams at 14-16 almost always make it. The SEC is looking at 11 or 12 bids this year.

[messageboardsuperhero]

As long as we go 3-6 over our last 9, we're a lock. 2-7 and we're probably in.

Granted, it's not a guarantee, but it's extremely likely.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. We'd be 14-16 or 13-17 with an RPI around 45-50. That's not a lock, IMO.

[Todd4State]

So everyone in thread was bashing Collins for no reason.. Lets take a poll, was Collins to blame for those passed balls or no? Why the hell do you think he got taken out mid inning

How many passed balls did Collins have in the 9th? That was on Randolph.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

How many pass balls did he have before 1st rounder came in?

You know, lindgren, mr top10?

Or collins, our best hitter (you) in first bitching about a hit and run and then 7 innings later he sucks?

Just call the game.
Stop being you. Say double play. Bunt caught on popup.

Nobody gives a shit what you think after that. It has been beaten to death.

[Jacksondevildog]

They were pitches that should be caught. Cohen just said we were little league behind the plate tonight and I agree. Playing a damn walk on juco that redshirted should be a felony.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I asked dad if it was collins or lindgren. He said both but mainly lindgren. My dad played 2nd base for msu and has been watching baseball for 65 years.

Ill take that over a college kid and an xbox that has never swung a bat. I know you want to be jonah hill in moneyball but if that was legit, everyone would do it son.

[Will James]

They were pitches that should be caught. Cohen just said we were little league behind the plate tonight and I agree. Playing a damn walk on juco that redshirted should be a felony.

No Ennis heard from his dad its Lindgrens fault and he knows this because there weren't any passed balls before he came in.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We would still be 14-16. SEC teams at 14-16 almost always make it. The SEC is looking at 11 or 12 bids this year.

11-12 is pretty optimistic. I'd say it's more like 9-11 bids this year.

We'll be battling Auburn, UT, A&M, and Arkansas for the last 2-4 spots. I'm not saying we won't make a regional- I'm just saying you're more optimistic about it than I am.

[DawgSaint]

You are right about this. Honestly, this was our least important game left. Winning it really wouldn't change much for us one way or the other.

Who cares what would've changed??? We just lost to Jacksonville Freakin State and managed to rack up a whopping four hits! No excuses and certainly no reason to act like this was meaningless.

[CJDAWG85]

This team has NO CLUTCH HITTING!!!!! This has been the problem all year. Why everyone keeps trying to analyze this team is beyond me.

[Todd4State]

I wouldn't necessarily say that. We'd be 14-16 or 13-17 with an RPI around 45-50. That's not a lock, IMO.

He's right from a historical standpoint. If we get left out at 14-16, I think it would be either the first or second time in the last 15-20 years that has happened to a SEC team. Like he said, there's no guarantee, but history is a strong indicator.

[msstate7]

They were pitches that should be caught. Cohen just said we were little league behind the plate tonight and I agree. Playing a damn walk on juco that redshirted should be a felony.
Who does Cohen think is responsible for not having a catcher than can catch?

So catcher is the problem? Forget the fact we scratched out 3 hits.

Cohen built this team. His fault...

[Will James]

I asked dad if it was collins or lindgren. He said both but mainly lindgren. My dad played 2nd base for msu and has been watching baseball for 65 years.

Ill take that over a college kid and an xbox that has never swung a bat. I know you want to be jonah hill in moneyball but if that was legit, everyone would do it son.

So it's Ennis' dad vs everyone else on here + Cohen.

[BeardoMSU]

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Dude you are awful. Go to bed. Or get online and play D&D. I dont care.

It is a game.

So mr recruiter sucks at lineups, calls, pitching changes, hit and runs, bunts, etc but he knows when a catcher sucks and is 100% on yanking him?

Logic

[Todd4State]

Who cares what would've changed??? We just lost to Jacksonville Freakin State and managed to rack up a whopping four hits! No excuses and certainly no reason to act like this was meaningless.

That's why I said least important. It's not meaningless at all and I'm not sugar coating anything. But the fact of the matter is from an RPI standpoint, it's our least important game left.

No doubt the lack of hitting and the catching was unacceptable tonight.

[Bucky Dog]

Quit talking about pass balls or not pass balls. We scored on ****ing run!! One! We cannot hit and still have a poor hitting philosophy.

[DawgSaint]

I just don't understand how some of you get more pissed over a passed ball instead of wondering why in the heck we can't score runs on anybody!!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Laster pitched well

[Todd4State]

Cohen built this team. His fault...

I'm pretty sure he would tell you it's his fault. Even if you have a walk-on they have to be able to catch the guys on the mound.

[HancockCountyDog]

We would still be 14-16. SEC teams at 14-16 almost always make it. The SEC is looking at 11 or 12 bids this year.

Sweeping Mizzou, and winning series against Georgia and Arkansas doesn't really make me think we have an impressive resume.

We need 4 wins to be safe.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I just don't understand how some of you get more pissed over a passed ball instead of wondering why in the heck we can't score runs on anybody!!

Plus 1. We bring in our "all americans" and lose.

[Will James]

I just don't understand how some of you get more pissed over a passed ball instead of wondering why in the heck we can't score runs on anybody!!

We're used to the shitty hitting now

[messageboardsuperhero]

I can't believe I skipped the A's romp and sweep of the Rangers to watch this shit game tonight.

[BulldogBear]

Who cares what would've changed??? We just lost to Jacksonville Freakin State and managed to rack up a whopping four hits! No excuses and certainly no reason to act like this was meaningless.

Exactly, as if we wouldn't be pissed if during football season we beat Arkansas and then lose to UT-Martin. If we got 6 wins anyway it wouldn't keep us out of a bowl but it still shouldn't happen and blinkin' sux

[Todd4State]

I just don't understand how some of you get more pissed over a passed ball instead of wondering why in the heck we can't score runs on anybody!!

No one is excusing the hitting tonight.

But when you have a one run LEAD and you have two guys that are some of the best relief pitchers in the game and the other team basically wins on ONE hit because your catcher can't catch the ball- I would say that's reason to be pissed off at the catchers.

Would agree if this were a league game. I would even say same thing if a quality midweek opponent. But, to even have your butt in that position in the 9th inning is absolutely pathetic!

[Todd4State]

Sweeping Mizzou, and winning series against Georgia and Arkansas doesn't really make me think we have an impressive resume.

We need 4 wins to be safe.

We beat Vandy, we split with Ole Miss and beating them at a neutral site will benefit us a little bit more, beat USM as well.

We are currently 5-10 against the top 50, and 10-4 against 51-100.

The rest of our schedule is #41 Auburn on the road, #27 Tennessee at home, and #16 Alabama on the road. We have a chance to improve our resume.

[Todd4State]

Would agree if this were a league game. I would even say same thing if a quality midweek opponent. But, to even have your butt in that position in the 9th inning is absolutely pathetic!

It happens. We beat Alcorn 7-6 last year. Shouldn't happen- but it happens to most everyone in college baseball during the season. The important thing is to win- whether it's 1-0 or 15-0. And if you have the lead you have to finish it out.

[preachermatt83]

This is BS. We dont recruit to the upper echelon of sec ball yet. Cohen got us 2 games from a title. You guys kill me. Yall act like we have all this talent and it is coaching.

Accept this.
We suck this year: we wont always suck. that is "beisbol"


that may be the most unreal statement Ive ever read on this board.

[Will James]

that may be the most unreal statement Ive ever read on this board.

Almost as unreal as using a secondhand source blaming Lindgren for the passed balls when literally everyone including the coach says otherwise

[Todd4State]

that may be the most unreal statement Ive ever read on this board.

You might want to compare Cohen's first 6 years to Polk's and I think you and a lot of people would be surprised. And I'm talking Polk I. It's not as unreal as you might think and as it might sound because Polk was here for so long and had 4-5X longer to accomplish things.

And Cohen is doing it against a much more competitive SEC.

he didn't say in 6 yrs..... he said 40..

[Todd4State]

And Cohen is doing it against a much more competitive SEC.

And he couldn't pad his record his first two years by playing Belhaven, Mississippi College and St. Olaf.

[Todd4State]

he didn't say in 6 yrs..... he said 40..

And he's not wrong- how many CWS finals did Polk have in 40 years? The best Polk ever did was third.

And I guarantee you Polk lost his share of games like this- La Tech Mike Valentine's Day Massacre?

[BulldogBear]

And he's not wrong- how many CWS finals did Polk have in 40 years? The best Polk ever did was third.

And I guarantee you Polk lost his share of games like this- La Tech Mike Valentine's Day Massacre?

Is that the one where we lead 12-6 with 2 outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the 9th and Tech scored 7 and won 13-12?

[Coach34]

that may be the most unreal statement Ive ever read on this board.

whats unreal about it?

Cohen led us to the NC game- Polk never did that
Cohen has made 2 Supers the last 3 years- Polk made 1 his last 7 years
Cohen won an SEC title at Kentucky- Polk couldnt win another after the 1980's when other SEC schools started caring about baseball

[Coach34]

Is that the one where we lead 12-6 with 2 outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the 9th and Tech scored 7 and won 13-12?

yep

[Todd4State]

Is that the one where we lead 12-6 with 2 outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the 9th and Tech scored 7 and won 13-12?

Yes. THAT is poor managing.

Ruston, La.- where Croom and Polk's careers died.

[mstatefan91]

Regardless, Cohen lost us the game. The dynamic between Lindgren and Collins was not there tonight. Should have gone to Holder when the runner was on 2nd.

[blacklistedbully]

Sweeping Mizzou, and winning series against Georgia and Arkansas doesn't really make me think we have an impressive resume.

Watch it HCD, that kinda talk will get Todd4State all up your ass, and sending you daily PM's calling you a "*****", etc. Todd has spoken, and we are, in fact a very good team. Mizzou is a very good team. Our series sweep over them was a monumental achievement, indicative of how far we have come this year. You, however, are a very bad fan to suggest those wins are anything less than proof we have turned the corner.

Any opinion of yours that differs is uninformed, so don't you dare try to post anything more in defense of your opinion. You will be proving your dumbassery.

L.O.L. Especially from someone who claimed via PM that I bore them and wasn't going to pay attention to me anymore.

How did I know that wasn't going to be the case?

Very interesting that I can have different viewpoints with every poster on here and it is always kept civil- except for you and maybe Will James at times but I don't think he takes it personal. All because you took issue over something that I said that wasn't even directed at you in the first place and got your feelings hurt.

And for the record, I said you were "being a *****"- as in you are acting like one. It was intended to basically tell you in a friendly and private way how you were acting since you obviously don't realize it. As in like when one of your friends at the bar tells you that you are being a douche and to knock it off. Of course, you took that the wrong way and bragged about your rugby accomplishments.

Since we know you play rugby, I'm going to assume that you have had a bunch of concussions and let that explain your behavior and lack of insight into how you look.

I don't think any has said we are "good" team in weeks. However, you don't have to be good to make a Regional.

I said weeks ago that we will finish at least .500 in the SEC, around the same time most of this board was jumping off bridges again over something (LSU series maybe?). Most everyone disagreed. I still feel very good about that prediction.

Yes. THAT is poor managing.

Ruston, La.- where Croom and Polk's careers died.

I'm still in disbelief of that one. Seems like we didn't go for the throat or someting with our pitching. I may be way off base. I don't remember the details, but still can't believe it happened.
