Game 1 Thread

[Smitty]

Seth Heck better damn well be hurt because Gridley is starting SS.

Robson
Vickerson
Collins
Hump
Brown
Rea
Holland
Gridley
Spruill

[mstatefan91]

Yeah this makes no sense to me unless he is hurt or in house punishment.

[BulldogBear]

He may have gotten banged up on that diving stop in the USM game. He literally thru the ball about ten feet and then got up slowly. Heck of a stop and he co tinued to play but may be feeling it now. Just a hunch.

[JohnnyQuid]

Did Jim have any info on heck?

[jbjones]

Did Jim have any info on heck?

No, just speculated on an injury. He didn't know.

Edit: He did say that it was the first time in 80 games that Heck hasn't been in the starting lineup. Not a bad streak.

[CadaverDawg]

Who is this color commentator? He's trying too hard to be enthusiastic.

In other news, our offense still sucks.

[JohnnyQuid]

*******it this is a miserable baseball team to listen to.

[sandwolf]

Jesus....our team is a disaster.

[msstate7]

If there was any hope that we're good, it's dead. We suck

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief. Wake me up when football starts.

3-0 in the 3rd and they have 2 on and 0 outs.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm sorry but Spruill is garbage. Why does he keep getting SEC starts?

[Bothrops]

These guys are literally just going through the motions. I'm not sure anyone on the team likes playing baseball.

[JohnnyQuid]

Spruill sucks. I miss Matthew Britton

[sandwolf]

****ing Spruill.....why do we keep trotting that guy out there. He is horrible.

[JohnnyQuid]

This is a comedy of errors this shit ain't ms state baseball. John Cohen better get his shit together

[CadaverDawg]

What happened to our team? We are trash. Cohen needs to get this shit fixed or he'll never see that new stadium. This is awful

[msstate7]

I'm sorry but Spruill is garbage. Why does he keep getting SEC starts?

Naw dude, we recruit at the highest level and all these guys are awesome*

[sandwolf]

Well that was nice of them.....

[Bothrops]

There are probably 100 teams in the country better than us.

[CadaverDawg]

It's like we lost confidence and can't get it back. That shows a lack of stones. Man up and show some pride.

[Homedawg]

I love your posts 90% of the time. But this is way over board. At least the part about Cohen not seeing the new stadium. We are playing like trash now though.

[BeardoMSU]

We suck something fierce. It makes me physically ill, actually....

I really am trying to not give up on this team but damn, they just aren't very good.

[Bothrops]

Reality is harsh sometimes.

[Homedawg]

Reality is harsh sometimes.

I don't have a problem w the reality that we stink, it's that Cohen won't see the new stadium. That's just false, unless he dies of a heart attack, which is possible after watching this.

[CadaverDawg]

I love your posts 90% of the time. But this is way over board. At least the part about Cohen not seeing the new stadium. We are playing like trash now though.

Talking out of frustration. He'll see it, but this baseball we're playing is garbage.

[CadaverDawg]

Any good reports from Spring football practice?

[BeardoMSU]

Talking out of frustration. He'll see it, but this baseball we're playing is garbage.

Yup. We are a painful team to watch right now. What's really sad, is this team just lays down and takes it; no fight whatsoever.

[Homedawg]

Talking out of frustration. He'll see it, but this baseball we're playing is garbage.

Now that is certain. Sad. And we are better than this. Not good but we are way better than we are playing.

[sandwolf]

What the ****? Heck coming in to play 3rd?

[CadaverDawg]

Heck in now? Way to let Spruill make 3 errors when he should have been on the bench with Heck available.

[Dawg61]

Talking out of frustration. He'll see it, but this baseball we're playing is garbage.

I'm not buying he'll see it at the pace he's at right now

[Bothrops]

What I don't understand is the team's lack of urgency to try to right a wrong. Here's the start of our next conference series-at home, and zero emotion. We look chicken shit at the plate, nothing has changed.

[JohnnyQuid]

If heck is playing now he coulda ****ing started. Thanks john

[Homedawg]

I'm not buying he'll see it at the pace he's at right now

Donnie Tyndall I'll bet you what ever amount you want, barring death, that you are wrong.

[JohnnyQuid]

I'm not buying he'll see it at the pace he's at right now

I agree if we go this yr and next and aren't DRASTICALLY improved it might start getting warm for John. Hope it gets warm for him this offseason to change his slap chop philosophy bullshit

[Dawg61]

Donnie Tyndall I'll bet you what ever amount you want, barring death, that you are wrong.

What does Donnie Tyndall have to do with baseball dumbass? Man you're climbing up the retard ranks fast.

[msstate7]

Baseball is about to become an afterthought. Football will always be king and basketball will pass baseball by next season. On second thought, basketball has already passed baseball by. There's zero talk of baseball here except game time. Support for the new stadium could become difficult esp with a conference usa product on the field

[Homedawg]

Your new name. Take the bet or shut the **** up.

[JohnnyQuid]

When's last time gridley had a meaningful hit?

[msstate7]

When's last time gridley had a meaningful hit?
This lineup has more holes than a strainer

[HailState39110]

We have now gone 14 innings without a run dating back to the top of the 8th vs Kentucky

Edited: now we have gone 15 innings without a run. Not good

[Dawg61]

Your new name. Take the bet or shut the **** up.

Why would I take that bet? I'd prefer Cohen just stops with the tee-ball tactics and he will see the new stadium. Your new name is "loves to suck Dawg61's dick". Hope you like it.

I wish we had a CUSA product right now!

I think that's Jay Perry. A local attorney in Starkville

[sandwolf]

What happened to Britton again? Didn't he hurt himself during warm ups the other night? What was the nature of his injury?

[Homedawg]

Just as I thought. Lots of talk, not much substance, if any, yet you keep talking. Nothing you say is worthwhile. I don't agree w several posters on here. Yet, I don't think they are crazy. You however, have no ****ing clue about anything Donny.

[Bothrops]

Britton should play anyway, he's got something some of the other guys just don't have.

[raymond21]

Britton is done for the year

[Smitty]

If heck is playing now he coulda ****ing started. Thanks john

I've been calling out his offensive bullshit for years.

Unacceptable at Mississippi State.

[JohnnyQuid]

Britton is done for the year

Dunno if he is or not Jim said 3 weeks earlier tho. Wtf did he do? We have more injuries for a ****ing baseball team. damn

[msstate7]

Britton is done for the year

So are we

I know most of ya on this forum know so much about our baseball program, I am hesitant to say much. I stated at start of season that we were over rated and very under coached by our Guru coach Cohen. No question we have a lot of talent but a piss poor job of coaching them by Cohen. What is needed is a hitting coach not a bunting coach. I am at lost as to what our new coach is supposed to be coaching. He does not coach a base. I have not seen anything he has done to help our program. Since we lost Coach Lane we have consistently gone down in so many categories. I love my MSU baseball but am very disappointed with the effort by our coach. With this type of play and Cohen wants to build a new stadium, the athletic department has rocks in their head. Baum stadium in Arkansas only had some 2000 fans in a 10500 seat stadium. This is what it will look like at State with new stadium.

Lane is a great guy and a good coach. Good as gold

A bad season doesn't mean we stay in the stone ages. We have the opportunity to improve and get w the rest of the league. We need to do it. Period.

[Percho]

name some very good hitting coaches.

[msstate7]

name some very good hitting coaches.

I think you could get just about any hitting coach and he'd be an upgrade

[Percho]

That looked like dumb ass baseball to me.

[msstate7]

5-0 and we've lost robson twice running the bases. If he's running on his own, Cohen needs to redlight him. If cohen's calling it, he's dumber than I thought.

[CadaverDawg]

If this shit keeps up, we might as well shelve any Seniors that are playing, and start getting more young guys experience. We lose this series and post season play ain't happening.

No, I don't typically give up on Cohen teams, but this isn't a team in a slump with a great pitching staff...this is a completely inept offense and a bullpen that is so unreliable we will let our starters throw 150 pitches if we have to.

I'm so frustrated that out of all this "talent" we still start a bunch of JUCO's and can't score a damn run.

Cohen's reputation as a great recruiter is a complete joke. He's a greater recruiter like Mack brown at texas. Constantly overrated or constantly underpreforming

[Tbonewannabe]

This baseball team is as fun to watch as Rick Ray offense. It says something when a basketball possible lineup thread is as long as the baseball game thread. I don't think we are getting near a regional this year, probably not even making the SEC tourney.

[JohnnyQuid]

I think you could get just about any hitting coach and he'd be an upgrade

Get cohens ass out of it.. be the head coach. Get a real hitting/swing coach in here and stop the bullshit

[msstate7]

5 walks and 0 runs

[CadaverDawg]

Preston deserves a win. Gave up a few hits, but he's a Spruill and an offense from getting one.

[msstate7]

I want Luke Reynolds and Michael smith to start tomorrow.

[preachermatt83]

If Cohen were to leave, we imo, are one of the elite baseball jobs in America so I would go after Tracy Smith at Indiana or Jim Schlossnagle at TCU.

[Drugdog]

If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.

So:

[msstate7]

A strike out to end it. How fitting. No power and lots of swinging and missing = lots of scoreless innings

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Well, are the players at least having fun and acting and looking like a bunch of shitheads in the dugout?

[JohnnyQuid]

WoW. "Nothing wrong with heck just trying to get more range at short" really ? A guy who makes all the plays and hits? **** u john

I wouldn't wanna play for John cohen at this point as a player

[berr6728]

I don't think any of our players wanna play for this a$$whole of a couch either. He is pathetic as a coach. At this rate he could not win in t-ball.

[HancockCountyDog]

I've asked this probably three times, who on our team will be drafted in top 150 picks?

[Homedawg]

5-0 and we've lost robson twice running the bases. If he's running on his own, Cohen needs to redlight him. If cohen's calling it, he's dumber than I thought.

Actually he was caught stealing once. The other was vickerson w batter interference. Not a smart play. But the correct call. Too bad u can't steal first.

[Treemydawg]

What's the guys name that owns the (Swing) training facility in industrial park in town? He played pro ball, and I've watched several of the kids he works with in there and they can flat out hit. Give this guy a spot as hitting coach. Hell we can't get any worse.

[berr6728]

Yes Barkman keep on looking thru your Maroon colored glasses. I make every weekend series and am feeling that our coaching staff needs some more like you to be able to continue as our so called coaching staff. Most of you here on elitedawgs do not want to hear the truth about our so called head coach. I am not being negative just truthful.

[War Machine Dawg]

This baseball team is as fun to watch as Rick Ray offense. It says something when a basketball possible lineup thread is as long as the baseball game thread. I don't think we are getting near a regional this year, probably not even making the SEC tourney.

And some here thought I went full retard when I said I was worried we'd get 30+ wins. We might back into 30, but it'll be pure damn luck.

[CadaverDawg]

I don't think any of our players wanna play for this a$$whole of a couch either. He is pathetic as a coach. At this rate he could not win in t-ball.

Um, that's a little extreme.

[CJDAWG85]

Didn't Samford beat Auburn 7-0?

[msstate7]

If we lose tomorrow, should we make a youth movement? I don't see any good reason to keep running older guys out there only to keep losing. If we lose tomorrow, I'd play the younger guys.

[I seen it dawg]

Great game thread. I come on from,out,of,town to,check things and I figured we lost,from all the bitching but there wasn't one ****ing update on score or what the hell was going on with the game. You guys suck.

[I seen it dawg]

****ing awful.

[I seen it dawg]

Just start calling it the ass red period bloody **** bitchfest. Jesus we've got plenty of threads where we can bitch but could somebody update the ****ing game at least once. Good job.

[State82]

Right on. It's called a "Game Thread" which I always took to mean it was a thread of comments about the game presently in progress. If you are posting here it is also assumed that you are somehow watching/listening to the game which means you should be aware of the score and inning. Gripe and complain all you want guys but if you are going to the trouble to type a post, drop the score and inning every now and then. There are times many of us read the thread for an actual game update. You know, since it is a "Game Thread."

[coastratdog]

82, go to "hail state.com" click on "teams" click on "baseball" click on "schedule" scroll down to the current game look to the right click on "live stats" and there you can follow the game live. Yes the action is slow but I swear if you put on "dark side of the moon" it perfectly follows the music.

It would be cool if a mod could update the thread title...

Game thread -- auburn 5 state 0 5th

Something like that so you don't even have to open thread to get score

[Dawgface]

Agree. I've popped into several different game threads only to never find a score. Of course its easy to tell we are losing.

[Smitty]

D1baseball.com provides links to the live stats.

[CadaverDawg]

5-0 Auburn*

[msstate7]

5-0 Auburn*

Haha

[maroonmania]

The way things have been going lately consider yourself lucky if you aren't able to locate a score.
