No Collins at DH? That'll help him get his offense back**

[I seen it dawg]

Wher. In. The. ****. Is. Collins? Like where is he. I don't see him anywhere

[messageboardsuperhero]

I like Rooker, but I wish Collins was DH. It could have something to do with health- or maybe they want to keep him fresh to catch game 2? Who knows...

[War Machine Dawg]

I like Rooker, but I wish Collins was DH. It could have something to do with health- or maybe they want to keep him fresh to catch game 2? Who knows...

Cause 4-5 ABs and maybe a little baserunning is SO exhausting. Another #CohenFAIL

[I seen it dawg]

He's got to be hurt. He's not dressed out.

[Homedawg]

Cohen said the other day, he had soreness after a game and that's why he didn't play the next. Not sure today why.

[messageboardsuperhero]

He's got to be hurt. He's not dressed out.

That was my first guess...

[I seen it dawg]

He just showed in uniform. Now..why is he not in the damn lineup

[preachermatt83]

Any of u sissy here? I'd love to meet some of my ED brethren.

[preachermatt83]

Yea he's def dressed. Hands sore but may play game 2.

[preachermatt83]

Crap Gridley

[preachermatt83]

That's why u don't move a kid around from 3rd to 2nd.

[preachermatt83]

Preston just hit 90. Think that's first time I've seen him at 90

[I seen it dawg]

We got away with pitching to that guy. Great play by Heck.

[preachermatt83]

Striking out looking is so aggravating.

[I seen it dawg]

Spruill expecting breaking ball. Frozen by inside fastball.

[messageboardsuperhero]

No ****ing way. That wasn't even close to a strike.

[sack07]

Spruill expecting breaking ball. Frozen by inside fastball.

An excellent pitch

[engie]

Spruill expecting breaking ball. Frozen by inside fastball.

Why didn't he adjust to speed up to it and foul it away?**

[preachermatt83]

Blue gotta tight zone.

[Drugdog]

Beautiful day at the Dude.

[engie]

Blue gotta floating zone.
Fify**

This guy is so inconsistent...

[DanDority]

Why didn't he adjust to speed up to it and foul it away?**

My thought, exactly!

[Drugdog]

Cohen on the top of the steps yelling at Blue.

[BeardoMSU]

Fify**

This guy is so inconsistent...

This guy is horrible.

[maroonmania]

Offense still looking pretty sad. No hits for us through 3.

[Saltydog]

score a run. 5 walks thru 3 innings and we have shit to show for it. Gonna come back to haunt us I'm afraid.

[maroonmania]

They need to delay this one. TOO much rain.

[Jacksondevildog]

Offense still looking pretty sad. No hits for us through 3.

We are so sad offensively.

[msstate7]

First time to see us in person. It seems to be walk or k every at bat. Unimpressed...

[Drugdog]

Bama NOT playing small ball.

[Drugdog]

We are in a serious offensive funk.

[chef dixon]

down 2-0 now, that should just about wrap this one up

[maroonmania]

Preston just has not been the same in this rain leaving pitches out over the plate. Rain has slacked up some now.

[engie]

Lot of time left in this one... Gotta get going though...

That 0-2 pitch from Preston is why you waste one. Tried to get it up and left it over the middle...

[Saltydog]

Unfortunately nothing makes me think you're wrong.

[chef dixon]

Feel bad for Preston. Dude is battling his ass off in tough conditions and knows he's likely to not get much help.

[Jacksondevildog]

Many of our fans don't want to admit it because of the Omaha run in 2013, but we are a bad hitting baseball program. There are serious issues with us.

[maroonmania]

down 2-0 now, that should just about wrap this one up

Right now being down 2-0 feels more like being down 6-0 because of our anemic offense.

[maroonmania]

Yea, we have a hit!

[engie]

Is this Meltdown Time Baseball Edition?

It's the 4th people... We're going to score more than 2 runs here...

[engie]

Bleachers damn near full -- chairbacks damn near empty. We can't tear it down quick enough...

[engie]

Holy shit -- 2-1 count -- leadoff guy on -- down 2 -- and we actually laid down a bunt. Get ready bama, here comes another one...

I hate this crap...

[confucius say]

Bleachers damn near full -- chairbacks damn near empty. We can't tear it down quick enough...

Just said same thing

[chef dixon]

Damn thought Gridley would beat that out for sure. 2-1.

[confucius say]

I'm ok with robson bunting there though

[maroonmania]

Boy, had a great chance to get at least 2 runs there but only got one.

[engie]

Yeah, given the circumstance and who was at the plate, I didn't have much of a problem with Robson's... Didn't like Lovelady's although it happened to work out...

They made 3 excellent defensive plays that inning after the E... Could easily enough still be hitting...

[Jacksondevildog]

Just said same thing

I think that most of the people that bought the chair backs have died off and their family members never use the tickets. Yet, they will butch from the grave on a message board about the new stadium.

[Drugdog]

Question: with all of our speed, why do not try stealing instead of bunting?

[preachermatt83]

Good grief the ump sucks

[Bucky Dog]

Question: with all of our speed, why do not try stealing instead of bunting?

Ding ding ding! This and hit and run are more aggressive in my opinion and put pressure on the other team with out necessarily conceding outs all of the time with the bunt. Just stop John!!

[maroonmania]

Brown is about to take us out of this one altogether. Loads the bases with a hit batter and 2 walks.

[DawgFromOxford]

Why is Preston still pitching?

[chef dixon]

Good job Spruilly

[preachermatt83]

First time to see us in person. It seems to be walk or k every at bat. Unimpressed...

Come down over to the bullpen area

[maroonmania]

Spruill makes a huge DP at 3rd to keep it at 2-1. Could be a game saver.

[preachermatt83]

Bleachers damn near full -- chairbacks damn near empty. We can't tear it down quick enough...

Engine... I'd like to meet u too if ya here. Where ya at. Standing close to the bullpen.

[preachermatt83]

Need Rooker to go yard here.

[chef dixon]

Time for Rooker to step up. This is why we play you v. the LHP.

[preachermatt83]

Cmon Reid.

[Smitty]

PH Collins if he's avaliable. Bases loaded.

[maroonmania]

PH Collins if he's avaliable. Bases loaded.

I was thinking the same thing. Huge AB coming up right here.

[Drugdog]

My gosh -We can't hit it out of the infield.

[Drugdog]

Our hitters have very wide stances. Can't generate any power.

[msstate7]

PH Collins if he's avaliable. Bases loaded.

If he's available, we're probably catching him game 2. Don't wanna force him to catch 14 innings

[maroonmania]

This team absolutely can NOT get a key hit. Bama gifted us one run in that inning but we have squandered lots of scoring chances today.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

You can tell you don't have aggressive hitters when they take on 3-1. We do it 9 times out of 10 seems like.

[chef dixon]

Come on Preston. Quick inning here and hit the showers.

[TopDog58]

We don't have the AD with the guts to do it, but Cohen needs a Croom style ultimatum. Fix the hitting, or else. Nothing has changed. It's not the weak ass bats, it's the weak ass hitters.

[chef dixon]

Web gem by Holland. 2 down.

[preachermatt83]

Good inning Preston

[DawgFromOxford]

I retract my statement about leaving Preston in

[chef dixon]

Good inning Preston

Yep. Good outing if he's done. 6 innings, 2 runs in league play. You have to take that 100/100 times if you know you can get it and Brown has been very consistent with his outings to this point in the season.

[maroonmania]

Going to the bottom of the 6th and we have ONE legitimate hit.

[Jacksondevildog]

We don't have the AD with the guts to do it, but Cohen needs a Croom style ultimatum. Fix the hitting, or else. Nothing has changed. It's not the weak ass bats, it's the weak ass hitters.

We won't fire Ray. You think our AD will tell Cohen to fix an issue less than 2 years removed from national runners up? I agree with you though.

[chef dixon]

Going to the bottom of the 6th and we have ONE legitimate hit.

That was like a half-way legit hit for Heck haha

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We need a bonafide hitting coach. Getting ready to spend 40 mil on a stadium. You would think we could go out and buy....err...get the best hitting coach in college baseball. Don't we have a couple former players coaching in the minors? What do minor league coaches make?

[chef dixon]

Stupid ass ginger pitcher

[chef dixon]

Wes is our leader. 4-2 dawgs.

[maroonmania]

THANK YOU WES REA!!!! Finally a key 2 run double!

[Bucky Dog]

Did we bunt in the bottom of the sixth???

[starkvegasdawg]

THANK YOU WES REA!!!! Finally a key 2 run double!

Cohen will have him running the stadium for hitting a double.

[Smitty]

Did we bunt in the bottom of the sixth???

Lead off out negated the opportunity.

[maroonmania]

And we follow Rea's double with back to back strikeouts just to keep everyone's enthusiasm in check.

[msudawg1200]

I missed it. Are these two 7 inning games or 9 inning games?

[Bucky Dog]

Lead off out negated the opportunity.

WAIT!!! We scored two runs without a bunt?!?!

[Bucky Dog]

Lead off out negated the opportunity.

And when did that ever matter?

[Smitty]

Ross

[I seen it dawg]

Butch is a ****ing idiot. 2 lh hitters arond a righty and you gonna wait until the lefty hits before bringing Ross. ****ing stupid.

[maroonmania]

Nice outing by Preston. His one bad inning I feel he was significantly affected by the rain.

[maroonmania]

Its amazing all of the balls Rea has picked out of the dirt in his career.

[maroonmania]

Humphries heating up!

[maroonmania]

I don't understand why if Michael Brown's leg is good enough to be a pinch runner why he is not healthy enough to play full time?

[Bucky Dog]

And.......we bunt

[Bucky Dog]

Humphries heating up!

Humphreys HAS to stay in the lineup, know he isn't going to get yanked and get the AB's. For those like Coach saying he sucks and all, the guy is too talented and needs to find his groove. I agree with dropping him to 6-8 in the order possibly to take pressure off of him, but he will be big for us as he matures and gets the AB's.

[maroonmania]

Dang Heck, bases loaded 1 out pop up.

[Bucky Dog]

That's weak. Get the ball to the outfield Heck. Come on Cody.

[chef dixon]

We have gotten a ton of bases loaded walks this season.

[maroonmania]

Bama pitchers gift us another run, 5-2 now going to the 8th.

[Bucky Dog]

Damn another gift run on a walk. Smitty , where you at? We got our 1 run with a bunt.

[chef dixon]

The dreaded 8th inning.

[Smitty]

Need to buckle down Ross

[Smitty]

Studs up the middle!

[Bucky Dog]

Time for a good ole fashioned 4-6-3 DP!

[preachermatt83]

Holland bare handed that thing something serious.

[maroonmania]

Another HBP from us by Ross. Fitts coming in now with 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. Hope he can find the strike zone.

[maroonmania]

Horrible passed ball by Lovelady.

[JohnnyQuid]

Trevor fitts can suck my dick. He's as much of a ******* closer as I am

[Smitty]

Tie game shit

[preachermatt83]

This is awful. Fitts just not a closer.

[maroonmania]

Tie game.

[mparkerfd20]

I hate Fitts pitching. No if, and, or buts about it.

[Homedawg]

Trevor fitts can suck my dick. He's as much of a ******* closer as I am

He jammed the shit out of the guy!!! Bad luck

[maroonmania]

This is awful. Fitts just not a closer.

Well, it was a bloop hit but the passed ball cost us them scoring the tying run.

[Saltydog]

Ross Mitchell's pitches. He's just doesn't appear to be as effective as in the past. Fitts scares me and there it is, TIED. Damn, just damn. Mitchell not getting us out of jams lately and Fitts can't close it out. Gonna be a long year unless we can get that shit fixed.

[maroonmania]

The biggest key in this game are all the players left in scoring position because we couldn't get hits. We should have 7 or 8 runs in this game easy.

[preachermatt83]

This is the worst home plate ump we've had all yr.

[JohnnyQuid]

He jammed the shit out of the guy!!! Bad luck

That's great what about the 5 other shit shows he's had. it's a compilation of failures. **** him closing.

[messageboardsuperhero]

You can't blame Fitts for that. Lovelady ****ed up with the passed ball, then he jammed the guy but Bama got lucky that one fell.

That said, it wouldn't be a 2015 MSU game without a bed-shitting in the 8th.

[Bucky Dog]

And we need the old Ross back.

[preachermatt83]

U don't have a pitch to contact guy as ur closer. Period.

[Saltydog]

another Holder and he's not and he can't throw the 12/6 for strikes.

[JohnnyQuid]

Agree about Lovelady but fitts puts himself in these ****ed up spots. Need a guy to put fires out. This mother****er pours gas on the shit

[maroonmania]

My word that was a Daniel Brown strikeout not called!!

[messageboardsuperhero]

Our bullpen needs to nutt up. These last two weeks have been inexcusable. So ****ing mentally weak.

[Homedawg]

That's great what about the 5 other shit shows he's had. it's a compilation of failures. **** him closing.
Maybe he's not a closer. But u can't base it off of today's showing that's all.

[maroonmania]

I'm pissed because this inning should be over!

[Saltydog]

nt

[messageboardsuperhero]

Our bullpen is a mother-****ing disaster.

[Smitty]

Shit

[JohnnyQuid]

Mother****er. Our pen is horrible. And the one person in d. Brown I did have some faith in shitting the be. Just damn. Gonna be long season

[Smitty]

Houston in... 7-5. Long season.

[maroonmania]

Umpire totally screwed us over in this inning! Its now a loss.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Every damn relief pitcher we have needs a gut check. This is awful.

[BeardoMSU]

WTF happened to our bull pen? Shit!

[Smitty]

One of our starters has to be a pen guy. Laster imo.

[msstate7]

We have 1 pitcher out of the pen that can handle inherited runners... Ross. To take him out in favor of anyone with runners on is asking for it. We asked for it. We got it

[JohnnyQuid]

Umpire totally screwed us over in this inning! Its now a loss.

Oh trust me we lubed up well for him he just helped stick it in

[Saltydog]

but it's gonna be a long year boys........From basketball to this........Whew.........How long til spring football?

[JohnnyQuid]

Lol. Game over. What a shit show we are. I'm embarrassed.

[I seen it dawg]

Our bullpen is so ****ing soft. Throw a ****ing fastball Fitts. Pussies

[Smitty]

Mother****er!!!!!!

[Saltydog]

lately.......

[JohnnyQuid]

These mother****ers walked 11 ppl and are up 10-5. After walking 11. Let that shit sink in. We suck

[maroonmania]

Oh trust me we lubed up well for him he just helped stick it in

Amazing how one ball/strike called screwed up by the ump can turn the whole game.

[preachermatt83]

We have no bullpen

[Smitty]

Can't play for 1 in the 7th with this pen Cohen. Or have squirrel ****ing cleanup and Collins on the pine

[messageboardsuperhero]

Our bullpen is going to kill us this year. It already has.

[mparkerfd20]

F this team. I'm done

[JohnnyQuid]

lately.......

I'd rather we left him in to blow it. Cos the nut less wonders defimatey can't do it

[maroonmania]

This team will struggle mightily to make a regional. I will be surprised if we get to .500 in the league..

[maroonmania]

I'm out for today.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Our bullpen is so ****ing soft. Throw a ****ing fastball Fitts. Pussies

I haven't seen a Cohen coached team this soft since 2010... Our bullpen is so ****ing mentally weak.

[preachermatt83]

One of our starters has to be a pen guy. Laster imo.

I was abt to post the very same thing

[Percho]

Do you think they would have scored 8 runs if we had left Ross in the game.

[TopDog58]

This team has no jeuvos. Looking at a 13-17 SEC season and POSSIBLY squeaking into the tourney

[JohnnyQuid]

Amazing how one ball/strike called screwed up by the ump can turn the whole game.

U have to compete and overcome that bs. Instead we laid facedown and took it

[preachermatt83]

One of our starters has to be a pen guy. Laster imo.

I was abt to post the very same thing

[38843dawg]

This team will be LUCKY to be a 2 seed. Lacks quality bats and absolutely no quality arms in the bullpen.

[Saltydog]

better team than last year and everybody needs to just chill and 'lax............

[Smitty]

11 walks this game and 5 ****ing runs to show for it.

[JohnnyQuid]

Way to just ****ing give away a game in 1 inning. This isnt miss. state baseball. if I'm this frustrated can't imagine Cohen atm. Regardless this team need some identity and toughness.

[Bucky Dog]

Can't play for 1 in the 7th with this pen Cohen. Or have squirrel ****ing cleanup and Collins on the pine

I said this two pages ago and asked where you were. ***** ass defensive philosophy Cohen. And as Quid noted, we have had 11 walks so far and only 5 runs!!!

[Smitty]

This team will be LUCKY to be a 2 seed. Lacks quality bats and absolutely no quality arms in the bullpen.

Lucky to make the tourney

[Saltydog]

3 seed, if that.

[BHildreth3]

i still can't believe we had 11 walks given to us and we are in this position. This team plays so scared to lose. It's pathetic.

[JohnnyQuid]

11 walks this game and 5 ****ing runs to show for it.

This is my biggest bitch fit of the day. U get 11 free singles and basically do **** all with it. We're not good right now. If u walk Lsu 11 times theyre in double digits and in that asx

[TopDog58]

We have no bullpen

And we don't have a starter that can consistently give us 6-8 innings. So, this may be the year that the backwards pitching mentality will bite us in the ass.

[38843dawg]

Lucky to make the tourney

You're right.

[Bothrops]

We don't have any of that. This team has little to nothing in the way of competitive advantage. We are in deep shit!

[JohnnyQuid]

We don't have any of that. This team has little to nothing in the way of competitive advantage. We are in deep shit!

We prolly got some cute dance or routine going in the dug out tho.

[JohnnyQuid]

Sure do love these pop outs** if our recruiting class is as good as some ppl think idk how kids won't come in and win some jobs

[Bothrops]

We prolly got some cute dance or routine going in the dug out tho.

Yep and that's part of the bigger problem.

[JohnnyQuid]

Lol. Backwards k. Just damn. The skill lvl of bad is amazing

[JohnnyQuid]

Yep and that's part of the bigger problem.

I really always thought that kinda shit was for girls softball.

[Bothrops]

Sure do love these pop outs** if our recruiting class is as good as some ppl think idk how kids won't come in and win some jobs

Easy. They must weigh less than 200 lbs and stand less than 6 feet tall and bench less than their weight.

[JohnnyQuid]

After how we lost this game I'll worry about some quit t he rest of the weekend. going from thinking sweep to hoping a shitty bama don't win the series. ****

[JohnnyQuid]

Easy. They must weigh less than 200 lbs and stand less than 6 feet tall and bench less than their weight.

I watched ole miss vs lsu Last night. Both those teams are so much bigger physically than us it's scary.

[JohnnyQuid]

Most pathetic way to lose all year. And that's saying sth

[Bothrops]

I watched ole miss vs lsu Last night. Both those teams are so much bigger physically than us it's scary.

LSU will skull**** us at DNF.

[cbrunt29]

I was planning on staying for the 2nd game, but there's no way I'm gonna stay and watch that shit show we put on the field. Pathetic

[state66]

We're not a good baseball team. Maybe next year.

[Outside Dawg]

Guys...we're just waiting for warmer weather and the ball to bounce our way**

5 of last 7

[I seen it dawg]

Shave the faces. Cut the hair. Cut out all the ****** bullshit in the dugout. **** you butch. **** you bullpen. Our entire team is a bunch of pussies.

[NCDawg]

Wonder what is the matter? We are always rated great in the recruiting rankings.

[I seen it dawg]

+1

[Coach34]

+1

[HancockCountyDog]

These mother****ers walked 11 ppl and are up 10-5. After walking 11. Let that shit sink in. We suck

Is this right? I'm assuming you are exaggerating. If not, that is a problem.

[Dawgface]

There is always ladies golf to follow.
