Cohen must be po'ed at Britton

[smootness]

It will be fun to see McCord and Gridley in their debuts. I like that we're keeping Humphreys, Robson, and Rea in the lineup. I want all of them to find a groove.

[chef dixon]

Any update on Smith? sorry if already discusses today

Not that I know of, but Cohen didn't seem extremely worried in the quote I saw last night. I would guess a hamstring strain, may play next week...but I have no idea.

[Coach34]

yeah- something is up that Britton doesnt even get to play Game 2 of a DH

[smootness]

He's gotten a couple of ABs late in the first 2 games, so I don't know. Maybe he just hasn't looked good at the plate in practices and scrimmages.

[engie]

I wouldn't try to read all that much into these early lineups... They are interesting -- but making sweeping generalizations from them is way too hit or miss...

[shoeless joe]

Any radio for this game?

McCord induces the grounder to 1st to start it off.

[smootness]

I wish the SEC N+ coverage showed MPH.

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf are we doing calling off speed on 3-1 with a guy in his first career start? Mfer

[smootness]

McCord a little wild early on.

[smootness]

2-run HR for Cincy. Not a good start for McCord.

[msstate7]

McCord not getting off on the right foot

[I seen it dawg]

McCord is tighter than dicks hatband

[engie]

I wish the SEC N+ coverage showed MPH.

State is in charge of all this coverage the same as if it was hailstate.tv, just with more quality control standards...

In other words, we all need to tweet this request at Stricklin.... No idea how difficult it would be to add, but surely not that tough....

[msstate7]

Settle down McCord

[mparkerfd20]

Well McCord ain't ready yet

[smootness]

3-0, McCord getting shelled. Hindsight is 20/20, but it would have been nice if we could have saved Mitchell for this one. This will be a bullpen game.

[Harrydawg]

Jay Perry is trying too hard......

What would that station be? 100.9 & 107.9 have the hoops game... Thanks for the info

[msstate7]

I was thinking 100.9 so I guess I was wrong

[engie]

He's gonna lock in here and give us a couple more good innings. Just career-beginning jitters IMO...

The movement on his pitches was impressive...

Too bad they're moving out of the zone haha

[Saltydog]

and I'm being extremely nice saying it that way........

[msstate7]

If we want to go undefeated this year, McCord needs a short cord here**

[msstate7]

Just his first start, but that was a let down after hearing so much hype

[I seen it dawg]

McCord not ready for primetime quite yet. Good learning experience for him today. We gonna have to win these kinds of games.

[msstate7]

4-0 and in our pen... Not looking good

[Saltydog]

so why not throw the sink at them in this game and get McCord outta there. FYI, UM has cancelled their game already for tomorrow afternoon.

[mparkerfd20]

We might lose this one

[engie]

We're going to score a bunch of runs on these guys. Just have to stop the bleeding.

[Bully13]

sure hope we can come back. we need some guys to not just have 1 hit. we need some guys to have multiple hits today if we pull this one out.

[engie]

They are playing a double header today. Not cancelled -- moved up....

[msstate7]

Come on brown

[msstate7]

Huge error. I'll take it

[Dawg496]

Bases loaded for Humphries B2. On to our 9th batter without a hit in the inning...

[Dawg496]

And another wild pitch ties the game at 4. 2nd and 3rd for Hump.

[engie]

This dude bout to leave one up in the zone for Hump -- and regret it...

[Dawg496]

Hump walked.. bases loaded again.. now for Reynolds PH for Rooker.

[engie]

Aight Reynolds... Don't do anything to help him here...

[Dawg496]

Reynolds grounds out to 1B.

Going to T3. We get 4 runs off of no hits.

[Bothrops]

The basketball team won 77-74

[Dawg496]

Going to the 4th.. nothing much for either team in the 3rd.

[shoeless joe]

The basketball team won 77-74

Why ruin a perfectly good baseball thread?

[I seen it dawg]

Donkey can't get anxious when given 3-0 green light. Sit back and drive big fella

[BeardoMSU]

Score update fellas?

[mparkerfd20]

Humphreys finally coming around.

[Dawg496]

Hump with a 3-RBI double. 9-4 State. 2 outs B5.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Humphreys one hops the right center field wall. Lulz at the haters.

[msstate7]

Humphreys one hops the right center field wall. Lulz at the haters.

He's been great today. Hopefully he keeps this up

[I seen it dawg]

He just needs to relax. He's gonna be lethal with Gavin if he does.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Him + Gavin + Rea could make a ridiculous powerful middle of the line up

[smootness]

Yeah, Humphreys is going to be just fine. He and Collins will be terror in the middle of the order.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Yeah, Humphreys is going to be just fine. He and Collins will be terror in the middle of the order.

I agree. He had a bad day yesterday, it happens. Especially at the beginning of the season, pitching always starts off hotter than the bats

[Coach34]

Looking better today for sure

[DudyDawg]

I was slow to trust Robson. Not any more. Damn impressive so far

[Smitty]

Still interested to see who does what against top tier arms.

[BeardoMSU]

Well, that escalated quickly....

[smootness]

I know Cincinnati and Miami aren't that good, but man, do our bats look good right now. Everybody is contributing.

[smootness]

Ross Mitchell with the RBI! Why did he hit there? Haha

[BeardoMSU]

Ross Mitchell with the RBI! Why did he hit there? Haha

Slim gonna Slim.

[Smitty]

11 walks and 4 K's hitting. Impression.

[Todd4State]

I know Cincinnati and Miami aren't that good, but man, do our bats look good right now. Everybody is contributing.

We're taking a lot better at bats in general. We've been a lot more patient thus far compared to last year. Encouraging despite the small sample size.

[smootness]

So...Robson is 6-9 with 5 walks. And I'm pretty sure he ended up on base on at least 2 of the 3 in which he didn't get hits. Pretty nice start.

I know Cohen knows what he's doing, but I'd love to see heck and Robson as 1 & 2 hitters

[smootness]

I'd be fine with that, though I'm also fine with Holland up there. He's gonna be really good.

[msstate7]

Yeah I think holland will get it going, but heck and Robson are hot now

[engie]

It's essentially 2 lineups right now...Heck leads off for Holland and Hump(and Collins when he's back healthy), Robson leads off for Rea and Brown...

When 1-9 can swing it, it doesn't matter to me personally how they arrange it. Really no right answer...
