Kentucky game thread

[msstate7]

Lineup?

[preachermatt83]

I look for us to bounce back this weekend a win the series.

[Smitty]

Heck
Brown
Rooker
Robson
Rea
Hump
Squirrel
Lovelady
Holland

[msstate7]

Really getting worried about Collins

[BulldogBear]

What time is first pitch?

[Ralph]

What time is first pitch?

Watchespn says 5:30cst but can't click on or view the feed. Anyone else?

[I seen it dawg]

Right now

[Ralph]

Working now

[msstate7]

Atta boy heck

[I seen it dawg]

Surely Rooker will bunt....

[I seen it dawg]

Heck at 2 Brown at first

[Ralph]

Please swing away here. 1st 2nd no outs

[msstate7]

Rooker probably ruined it for everyone

[I seen it dawg]

****. Rooker pops out to first foul. 1 out

[msstate7]

****. Rooker pops out to first foul. 1 out

Cohen is thinking that's its 1-0 right now if rooker bunted.

[I seen it dawg]

We won't get shit out of this. Robson grounds out.

[I seen it dawg]

Rea 1-3 out. We get shit because Rooker doesn't bunt.

[Ralph]

And same result

[TopDog58]

Way to kill the inning, 19

[C222]

Glad we didn't bunt!

[msstate7]

Glad we didn't bunt!

I agree. I'm just not crazy about rooker hitting 3rd

[BulldogBear]

Found on watch espn app which I finally got around to downloading today. My productivity may go down for the next few hours (wink)

[JohnnyQuid]

I agree. I'm just not crazy about rooker hitting 3rd

Agree I don't like it at all

[msstate7]

I'll take it. 2 errors = 1 run so far

[I seen it dawg]

1 time thru no bunts.

[Homedawg]

1 time thru no bunts.

Same result though. Damn please get a hit sometime today w runners in scoring position.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We're up 1-0 but are 0-6 with RISP.

[preachermatt83]

Rooker hitting in general is dumb but especially not 3rd. Vickerson should be DHing. Or Gridley.

[msstate7]

Come on preston

[I seen it dawg]

Preston not commanding

[preachermatt83]

Whoa, a sac fly!! When is the last time we have had one of those? Maybe Cohen can learn something from Kentucky.

[msstate7]

Jim says these hits have been rockets

[preachermatt83]

Let brown work thru this. We don't need our pen.

[preachermatt83]

Jim says these hits have been rockets

He is right.

[Dawg61]

Double play coming

[I seen it dawg]

Great. Preston shitting the bed tonite.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Preston is falling behind and being forced to throw his fastball down the middle of the plate in hitters counts. Get ahead and stay ahead.

[JohnnyQuid]

*******. This team is so frustrating.

[I seen it dawg]

Get the pen hot. He ain't got it tonite.

[Dawg61]

Wheels fell off

[msstate7]

Cohen is an out of the box guy. He's decided to move the 8th inning meltdown to the 2nd so we have a chance to come back*

[JohnnyQuid]

Just leave the mother****er in till we're out of the game. Damn

[Dawg61]

Good grief 5-1 Cats

[BeardoMSU]

Wow...we suck.

[I seen it dawg]

Best ****ing hitter with first base open and we throw him a pipe shot so he can drive in 2 with 2 outs. ****ing stupid.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We're getting our shit rocked right now.

[Offshore Dawg]

I think I will put my time to better use and listen to the girls play.

[Jacksondevildog]

@hotoffthaShitpile performance.

[msstate7]

I'd bring in Houston. Our chances of coming back aren't good

[BHildreth3]

@#$#$ this. We have better things to do on the weekend. I'll watch/listen when we actually come back to life.

[I seen it dawg]

How bout mixing in a strike.

[sandwolf]

Damn we have gotten difficult to watch. And to make it worse, Ross looks like he came straight out of a trailer park.

[msstate7]

New ball = death of Ross Mitchell's career

[I seen it dawg]

Nice throw Hump. Going for the dugout?

[sandwolf]

And he promptly gives up an RBI single.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn we have gotten difficult to watch. And to make it worse, Ross looks like he came straight out of a trailer park.

I'm tired of the act. Pitch like shit and you don't get to act like a clown.

[I seen it dawg]

We may not make the tournament.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We are shit in every facet of the game right now.

[HancockCountyDog]

Nice throw Hump. Going for the dugout?

Wtf?

I guess the upside is that we won't be bunting the rest of the game.

[BankerDog]

Our pitching staff is killing us. And to top off this performance it's a dang shame they don't move Laster to the pen to be the closer. Instead, Laster is sitting at home right now after throwing a CG midweek and will throw again on Tuesday against Southern. He needs to be seeing SEC action.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We may not make the tournament.

I'm beginning to fear this as well. I usually loathe it when people say stuff like this in March, but this year is different.

[JohnnyQuid]

Wow. This is just an ass whipping. We're really not very good. we need to stop running ross out there

[Mjoelner34]

New ball = death of Ross Mitchell's career

Yep. 75mph + 0 movement = batting practice!

[bluelightstar]

Oh my God

[mparkerfd20]

Well at least its over in the 2nd and not the 8th. I don't have to waste my night now. Goodnight guys

[sandwolf]

Jesus...

[I seen it dawg]

Our pitching absolutely stinks with the exception of Tatum and Sexton. Maybe Laster

[msstate7]

Kentucky scored 8 on usce last weekend. They've got 7 on us thru 1.2+

[I seen it dawg]

We don't even compete on the bump.

[mic]

Softest team we have had in a while....

[Dawg61]

****ing finally the 2nd inning is over!!

[sandwolf]

I'm tired of the act. Pitch like shit and you don't get to act like a clown.

Completely agree. If you want to go out there in a Mississippi State jersey looking like an asshole, you had better be damn good.

[BankerDog]

I appreciate what Ross did for us two years ago and even last year. But he doesn't have it this year. I wouldn't be mad to not see him the rest of the year. Move him to midweek. People are teeing off on him. Butch needs to get his act together. His pitching staff is costing us games.

[Mjoelner34]

I hope somebody is working on a helluva Powerpoint presentation of dugout dances, new haircuts or wood carving to get this thing turned around**

[sandwolf]

Leadoff walk.

[mic]

All the dugout shit should have stopped weeks ago.. That's on Cohen and Butch..

[Homedawg]

Just leave the mother****er in till we're out of the game. Damn

Once they scored 5 we were out of it.

[sandwolf]

And Robson hits into a double play. ****!

[msstate7]

And Robson hits into a double play. ****!

Huge dp. Cost us a run

[JohnnyQuid]

Sure am glad we hit into a DP before rea's dinger

[sandwolf]

There we go Rea!

[messageboardsuperhero]

LOL. Robson beat that out by a step. Terrible call. And it costs us a run after Rea jacks one.

[sandwolf]

Sure am glad we hit into a DP before rea's dinger

Yep, I was just thinking about how nice it was of Robson to clear off the bases for us before that.

[confucius say]

Sure am glad we hit into a DP before rea's dinger

You are my favorite poster. And I'm not being a smarta**.

Bottom line - we have solid starting pitching, average hitters, and a horrible pen. We will be lucky to make the tourney.

Oh, and cut out the bush league antics in the dugout. It is embarrassing to the institution that is MSU baseball. That crap is kinda funny when you are winning Regionals, but its just embarrassing when you suck.

[Bothrops]

You mean we didn't try to bunt Rea to ensure another out and a quicker inning?

[Drugdog]

Well, just got in from work. Sat down with a cold Stella, kids and wider are gone. And what do I see on Watch ESPN ?

Another ASS whipping. Back to Basketball.

I will watch Robert Morris vs Duke. At least that's more competitive.

This year is over boys.

[Bothrops]

At least you're drinking like a king.

[sandwolf]

Well, at least Mintz looked good.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

I'm hoping the looking and acting like a bunch of clowns leaves with this senior class.

[Political Hack]

anybody who's complained about our announcers hasn't listened to Kentucky's. Holy hell they're horrible. I don't think I can listen anymore. It's like listening to paint dry.

[Bothrops]

I think it will for sure. If I were Cohen, I would bench any batter that struck out looking for the rest of the game.

[sandwolf]

Yea, they are severely lacking in the personality department.

[msstate7]

Yea, they are severely lacking in the personality department.

I'm sure their regular announcers are doing basketball

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Well, at least Mintz looked good.
He's looked good in the few chances he's gotten this year..I wish he would have gotten a shot tonight to get us out of the 2nd rather than Ross. We all know Ross isn't effective, give someone else a chance.

[maroonmania]

I am truly shocked at how bad of a baseball team we have become over the last 3 weeks. I have a sick feeling this team will never see post season play this year.

[preachermatt83]

There is no excuse for this. We have recruited far too well over the last couple of yrs to suck this bad. Cohen = Freeze

[sandwolf]

There is no excuse for this. We have recruited far too well over the last couple of yrs to suck this bad. Cohen = Freeze

Except for the fact that Freeze is winning......

[JohnnyQuid]

I am truly shocked at how bad of a baseball team we have become over the last 3 weeks. I have a sick feeling this team will never see post season play this year.

Me too, I was really looking forward to baseball season. Hope things turn around this year but not looking promising

[preachermatt83]

Our pitching absolutely stinks with the exception of Tatum and Sexton. Maybe Laster

THIS!!!!!

[sandwolf]

We really are just awful. We don't do anything well, and we do a lot of stuff really bad.

[state66]

Just tuned in and this pisses me off. We ****in blow.

[confucius say]

Why is Gridley not playing anymore? I mean, Holland is hitting two forty something and is average to good in the field.

[Original48]

I'm sure their regular announcers are doing basketball
I love when OUR regular announcer is doing basketball.

[confucius say]

Cohen obviously did not want to watch this crap any more than I do. Cannot blame him.

[sandwolf]

Just all around embarassing.

[sandwolf]

**** me. They have 2 outs! Why can't we just concentrate on getting the guy at the plate out, instead of trying to pick the guy off at second?

[sandwolf]

Headed to the top of the 5th down 8-2.

[Bothrops]

Damn, I don't have a good feeling about anything other than football, for the foreseeable future

[Treemydawg]

Well,it looks like I just as well look foward to going to LFL to drink,cook, and hang out with friends instead of doing all of the above and enjoying a good baseball game.

[sandwolf]

2 pitches, 2 line outs.

[state66]

You can't tell me Collins and Paul young are going to make that big of a difference to this team. I don't see us being very good at all this year, even with those two back and healthy.

[confucius say]

Damn, I don't have a good feeling about anything other than football, for the foreseeable future

If we can keep from getting arrested and assaulted.

[BulldogBear]

Found the softball game on watch espn. We're trailing 2-1 after 5. Behind the backstop in big red letters they'rd keeping up with strikeouts I suppose, but the three Ks in big red letters on tv at Ole Miss is priceless.

[sandwolf]

3 up, 3 down. Headed to the bottom of the 5th.

[confucius say]

Well played kind sir

[sandwolf]

Pitching change.....Waddell coming in.

[BulldogBear]

Well, four Ks now but we have two doggies on base at second and third. Two outs, top 6

[sandwolf]

UK tries to steal second and gets thrown out by Lovelady.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice play Hump. Embarrassing. Get him out of the outfield.

[state66]

I'm starting to think players come to Mississippi state and get worse except for a select few. Good grief the bleeding won't stop.

[sandwolf]

And Humphreys misses a routine pop fly so UK has a man on second with 2 outs.

[BulldogBear]

Bases loaded in Oxfart

[I seen it dawg]

Good thing we stopped bunting so we could score all these runs and give up 8.

[sandwolf]

Nice play Heck.

[state66]

There's a reason we bunt. We can't hit worth a **** so we have to move the runner over with a bunt cause our puss ass hitters can't do it. I'm so pissed off at this teams performance the last 3-4 weeks. Just pathetic.

[I seen it dawg]

Where's our resident geniuses to get us out of this suckitude? Paging rougedouchedawg and shitty....

[sandwolf]

There we go Hump!

[BulldogBear]

Inning over. Two Bearettes collide in RF but one makes catch anyway.

[preachermatt83]

It's time to sit spruill and put Grid back at third.

[state66]

Honest question: who did we hire to replace jake wells? Cause if I was him I would be pissed Cohen doesn't even trust me to stand at first and yell back and collect equipment.

[Homedawg]

Good thing we stopped bunting so we could score all these runs and give up 8.

That's what's crazy, we really had people think that was going to be a huge difference. It's minute in the grand scheme of things. If you can't hit w runners in scoring position it doesn't make a shit. Or hit at all for that matte

[sandwolf]

****ing Spruill strikes out looking.

[JohnnyQuid]

We have to be the world's worst with man on 3rd less than 2 outs and not getting shit out of it. Like no shit it's an epidemic at this point, and not just this year.

[sandwolf]

And Lovelady hits into a double play to end the inning.

[msstate7]

****ing Spruill strikes out looking.
Spruill shouldnt be starting. Time to give Gridley, britton, or Reynolds a look

[Homedawg]

And Lovelady hits into a double play to end the inning.
But it's our bunting all the time that's the problem***** I don't want to bunt early either, unless it's w the 9 hole and all the stars align. But there are too many factors involved to make a mass judgment. Pitcher, hitter, conditions etc. But in the end, we haven't hit yet w runners on, and Until that changes, we won't score many. Period.

[HancockCountyDog]

I'm concerned that our recruiting has been overrated.

Name me four guys on our team that will be top 150 draft pick? Im serious, I can't find any on our roster.

[sandwolf]

They are just beating our ass.....they are out hitting us 11-3.

[I seen it dawg]

At least Waddell competes. And Mintz.

[msstate7]

I'm concerned that our recruiting has been overrated.

Maybe it's the development

[Homedawg]

It's musical chairs. None have shown they deserve to be the everyday starter.

[RougeDawg]

Where's our resident geniuses to get us out of this suckitude? Paging rougedouchedawg and shitty....

What the hell are you talking about? Some people have to work.

We are doing what we normally do. We are inept on offense and you know the reasons. One reason has HC in front of his name.

And how am I, or anyone else going to fix this mess? Until the offensive philosophy changes and we get someone who knows how to coach hitting, this shit will continue. It is interesting that you must make name calling posts, since you have nothing to refute what has been presented by myself and a few others. Things that have been repeated on the field time after time. You don't offend me, I know what I've said on here, this just makes you look childish instead of just remaining silent when you have no comeback, nor know what you are talking about.

[confucius say]

It's musical chairs. None have shown they deserve to be the everyday starter.

Keep rotating until somebody gets hot. Reynolds has the most upside. Gridley is the one with the most grit.

[basedog]

One word describes this team to me, BRUTAL!! Been following Msu baseball since 1970, this isn't the worse I've seen but it's getting close! And I was saying months ago I couldn't wait for baseball! So disappointing!

[msstate7]

It's musical chairs. None have shown they deserve to be the everyday starter.

He's started last 5 games and hitless last 4

[sandwolf]

3 up, 3 down in the top of the 7th.

[BulldogBear]

Sigh. Bases clearing double has us down 6-1in Oxfart. All the joy to be had was in NC earlier.

[RougeDawg]

Maybe it's the development

Now you're on to something.

[I seen it dawg]

There he is! Just trolling you. Calm down.

Nice inning Waddell.

Obviously Cohen's first two teams were worse, probably even significantly worse, but there were no expectations on those teams. We all knew Polk had left the cupboard bare. The part that makes this so difficult this year is expectations have risen significantly since the run to the championship series and to have a team that seems to have so many weaknesses at this stage of Cohen's tenure is very disturbing to say the least.

[msstate7]

Is Kentucky throwing lefty or rhp tomorrow?

[BulldogBear]

Top of the 7th. Last chance in Oxford.

[BulldogBear]

One out double by Seitz. We'rd still alive in the land of cotton.

[msstate7]

My lineup tomorrow...

Robson (cf)
Heck (ss)
Brown (rf)
Rea (1b)
Humphreys (dh)
Vickerson (lf)
Holland (2b)
Lovelady (c)
Reynolds (3b)

[JohnnyQuid]

Bases loaded. We deserve a 6 run 8th after all the bs this inning has given us all year. Not gonna hold my breath tho

[sandwolf]

There you go Humphreys! Bases loaded with 1 out.

[BulldogBear]

Three run homer by Toler up at the Purple Forest. 2 down tho. Doggies trailing 6-4

[msstate7]

Bases loaded. We deserve a 6 run 8th after all the bs this inning has given us all year. Not gonna hold my breath tho

Here comes that elusive sac fly**

[JohnnyQuid]

Double play. **** us this team is just beyond frustrating.

[msstate7]

This. Is. Ridiculous.!.!.!.!.

[sandwolf]

Mother****er!

[I seen it dawg]

Awesome. Nice rollover groundball. Greta ****ing job of taking an outside fastball the other way senior. Maybe that's why you don't play everyday. ****.

[HancockCountyDog]

Now you're on to something.

Yeah but MLB drafts based on tools, not production. Sure, it helps to produce, but look at the guy last year, who's name escapes me who was terrible for us, but got drafted in top 10 rounds due to tools on the mound.

Who do we have now that will be picked in the first 150? Because I'm struggling to think of someone.

[maroonmania]

Another bases loaded double play by our offense, it would be comical if weren't so disappointing.

[BulldogBear]

Ivey hits one out...just a hair foul :(

[BulldogBear]

Silkwood with an rbi double. Down 6-5 with runner at 2nd

[BulldogBear]

Bear Sows changing pitchers

[JohnnyQuid]

I was saying it last year and now it's just compounded but anyway we get rid of mingione? less than impressive last couple yrs.

[sandwolf]

Well that was a rocket. Score goes to 9-2, and Dakota Hudson comes in to pitch.

[msstate7]

Hudson was so overrated

[BulldogBear]

Ladies at first and second

[Homedawg]

And like clockwork gives up a missile........Color me shocked***but he should be our rotation guy***

[bluelightstar]

Ladies take a 7-6 lead in T7

[JohnnyQuid]

Hudson was so overrated

He definately hasn't been who we thought he'd be. I wanna hold out hope for him tho he's still young ya never know

[msstate7]

If nothing else, hopefully we found a couple bullpen guys tonight.

[Brahmabull]

For the baseball guys on this board, where is the great, talented baseball team you talked about coming into the year?

[Homedawg]

For the baseball guys on this board, where is the great, talented baseball team you talked about coming into the year?

I never thought we were going to be good. I said it and got crucified......
Eta....but we aren't as bad as we are playing now. I believe that.

[BulldogBear]

Bell with double scores both and girls take the lead, having scored six in the top of the seventh with two outs

[sandwolf]

This is like watching the bad news bears.

[JohnnyQuid]

If nothing else, hopefully we found a couple bullpen guys tonight.

I like Mintz.

[BulldogBear]

Bases juiced in Oxfart. Anybody still watching the boys on espn app need to switch over and see this thing thru

[sandwolf]

Error by Heck. 10-2 with runners at the corners and 1 out.

[BulldogBear]

Pass ball scores Bell from third. Gals up 8-6

[msstate7]

I never thought we were going to be good. I said it and got crucified......
Eta....but we aren't as bad as we are playing now. I believe that.

I agree with that. The hitting with runners on is very concerning though. We haven't hit with runners on base in 2 years

[sandwolf]

Haha another HBP......bases juiced with 1 out.

[BulldogBear]

Inning finally over. Line drive out in OF. Girlies gotta hold off UMiss in B7

[sandwolf]

Hudson gets a strikeout. 2 outs with the bases loaded.

[Original48]

Pass ball scores Bell from third. Gals up 8-6
I'm in on the softball. I hope I don't jinx it.

[BulldogBear]

One down in the Purple Forest. I think you are okay 48

[sandwolf]

And he gets another strikeout. Headed to the top of the 9th down 10-2.

[BulldogBear]

Dang. This ump in Oxford hasn't' given us anything close on either side of the bat

[BulldogBear]

Sheit. One out single has UMiss on first and second with one down.

[BulldogBear]

DP at 3rd and 1st, girls win in Oxfordshire 8-6!!!

[sandwolf]

Well thank God that is over. 10-2 final. Got out hit 14-5. Pitiful.

[maroonmania]

DP ends it in Oxford, Lady Dogs win 8-6.

[Original48]

I'm in on the softball. I hope I don't jinx it.
Well at least our girls have some stones. Down 6-1 top 7 they score 7 then turn bases loaded double play to end the game 8-6.

[JohnnyQuid]

Yea this one was painful, really really need the next two. nothing against Preston I wish we'd shuffle the rotation. Think he'd be much more successful on Sundays and winning Fridays is so important

[I seen it dawg]

Well at least our girls have some stones. Down 6-1 top 7 they score 7 then turn bases loaded double play to end the game 8-6.

Damn straight about that. Nice win ladies.

[BulldogBear]

!!!!!

[msstate7]

Well at least our girls have some stones. Down 6-1 top 7 they score 7 then turn bases loaded double play to end the game 8-6.

OM must of borrowed one of our boys for the bases loaded situation

[I seen it dawg]

Yea this one was painful, really really need the next two. nothing against Preston I wish we'd shuffle the rotation. Think he'd be much more successful on Sundays and winning Fridays is so important

+48 billion. He would be great against their number 3 and Sexton and Tatum are our 1-2 anyway. Screw the "experience". We need dynamic on Fridays. That's Sexton.

[maroonmania]

No offense to the ladies' teams but its ridiculously sad that we essentially have to take consolation in our women's basketball and women's softball teams because of the putrid play of our men's basketball and baseball teams.

[Bothrops]

Leave it to the gals to add some blue sky.

I'm worried about our baseball program. I don't know what we can do to avoid severe embarrassment down the stretch. I see good teams breaking records against us.

[Homedawg]

Yea this one was painful, really really need the next two. nothing against Preston I wish we'd shuffle the rotation. Think he'd be much more successful on Sundays and winning Fridays is so important

Kudos. Nothing against him at all. But he's going to struggle on Fridays in this league. Period

[maroonmania]

Kudos. Nothing against him at all. But he's going to struggle on Fridays in this league. Period

I agree with this as well. Preston is an above average college pitcher, and though tonight was his first really bad outing, he is not someone I would characterize as an SEC Friday night shut down guy. Problem is though I'm not sure that kind of guy I on our staff. However I think Sexton and Tatum at least probably have more potential to be that guy than Brown.

[mic]

Damn straight about that. Nice win ladies.

Ladies have more balls than our men.. Way to ****ing battle... Congrats to them ..

[Todd4State]

I agree with this as well.

Problem is though I'm not sure that kind of guy I on our staff. However I think Sexton and Tatum at least probably have more potential to be that guy than Brown.

I agree with all of this. I'd like to see Laster pitch more on the weekends in some role now that Ross and Fitts have apparently forgotten how to pitch.

I think Sexton and Tatum are better right now. Both are starting to come into their own. Hudson has the most talent on the staff- but apparently he has Evan Mitchell disease I guess. I hope he has Chris Stratton disease though. Other than the double and hitting a guy, he wasn't too bad tonight. McCord has SEC weekend talent, but he's just a freshman right now and isn't ready yet.

Mintz looks like he could be serviceable for at least a couple of innings, and I thought Waddell did OK until he got tired at the end.

IMO the best pitcher right now is Sexton, but Laster is the second best at this moment.

[CJDAWG85]

We just aren't good. You can't win when you can't hit. Bottom line. Cohen is hell bent on a bunch of singles hitters. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, big I think we are the only team in the league without a hitting coach.

[War Machine Dawg]

Mingione is the bunting coach.

Doesn't matter, both suck. There's a reason most teams are using Louisville Slugger. But the problem isn't what bats we're using. It's our approach to offense and the way we're teaching "hitting."
