Auburn game thread part 2-or just ****ing bitch and don't update anything thread.

[msstate7]

How long will the scoreless streak continue?

[BulldogBear]

How long will the scoreless streak continue?
What is it...19 straight innings now?

[msstate7]

What is it...19 straight innings now?

Yep

[BrunswickDawg]

Don't know, but it was sleeting lightly here a few minutes ago. That can't help the bats

[BulldogBear]

Looks like it's gonna be on watch espn app. Softball game starts at same time. Decisions. Decisions.

[msstate7]

Rea not starting. Waddell at 1st

[BulldogBear]

Looks like it's gonna be on watch espn app. Softball game starts at same time. Decisions. Decisions.
Wait, no. Girls are already in third. Smokey Hokes, we're down 11-0. WT17?

[Original48]

Interesting lineup. I didn't think we could put 9 out there with less power than we have previously. I was wrong.

[Harrydawg]

Interesting lineup. I didn't think we could put 9 out there with less power than we have previously. I was wrong.

Right on....we are going full Cohen midget ball today! It like a carnival.

[BulldogBear]

Grandstand looks empty on broadcast

[cbrunt29]

Runner at third with one out and we f***ing bunt

[CJDAWG85]

Typical Cohen bullshit. Teams leading hitter and fastest player at the plate with runners on the corners, and we try a ****ing squeeze bunt.

[Smitty]

Lol sac bunting Vickerson then our cleanup Robson buntfail squeeze.

Cohen is a dumbass.

[BrunswickDawg]

Grandstand looks empty on broadcast
It is pretty frigid out here - and with the chatter about "damn bunting" here in the grandstand, I'm not just talking about the weather.

[cbrunt29]

Cohen is awful. Even if Robson grounds out, he's fast enough to beat out the double play 9 times out of 10. Let them hit the freaking ball. It's ridiculous

[JohnnyQuid]

It's scary how good we are at not scoring guys from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

[msstate7]

20 scoreless innings in a row

[Smitty]

Cohen is awful. Even if Robson grounds out, he's fast enough to beat out the double play 9 times out of 10. Let them hit the freaking ball. It's ridiculous

Start a Twitter campaign to the reporters that ask the questions.

Our program is a complete embarrassment right now. Wish Dylan Ingram was still here! Or Cole Gordon's wasted redshirt.

[Bothrops]

Cohen will have to abandon "small ball" to save his butt down the line. That's my opinion.

[War Machine Dawg]

It is pretty frigid out here - and with the chatter about "damn bunting" here in the grandstand, I'm not just talking about the weather.

Interesting.

[Tbonewannabe]

It's scary how good we are at not scoring guys from 3rd with less than 2 outs.

I wouldn't be surprised if we lead the nation.

[Smitty]

Interesting.

Which is why I have hammered it over the years. Spreading the message about our offensive idiocies.

[Bothrops]

Save an out..swing a bat..

[msstate7]

21 straight scoreless innings

[BrunswickDawg]

Which is why I have hammered it over the years. Spreading the message about our offensive idiocies.
Well there are so few people here, I can almost hear what people are talking about in the AU dugout from just behind 3b.

And FYI - the guys have gone full retard in their walkout music today.

[Smitty]

Backwards K... 21 innings.

Cohen the blockhead making 2012 look great.

[War Machine Dawg]

Which is why I have hammered it over the years. Spreading the message about our offensive idiocies.

I'd also say that people are finally starting to realize the on-field results don't match the Cohen Legend. Sure, the run to the Championship Series was magical. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. But 1 regional host in 7 years is unacceptable for our program. And even if you're willing to discount the first two years that's 1 host in 5 years. Still not anywhere near our expectations. And likely missing the postseason all together in year 7 is so bad it's mind blowing. Frankly, it's like being on the Crxxm 10 year rebuilding project to still be this bad with supposedly the "best coach in the nation" at the helm.

If Butch Thompson didn't do one of the best jobs coaching a pitch staff in SEC history , we might have already been talking about Cohen on the hot seat.

[Bothrops]

The theme from "Little Einstein" was a nice one too

Haha

[Tbonewannabe]

I heard some Belinda Carlisle. ...

This explains everything about our offense.

[I seen it dawg]

If Butch Thompson didn't do one of the best jobs coaching a pitch staff in SEC history , we might have already been talking about Cohen on the hot seat.

I think he's overrated

[BrunswickDawg]

That ball was right in front of us. Looked fair

[I seen it dawg]

What looked fair? Who hit it? What was it? What's the ****ing score?

[Tbonewannabe]

I think he's overrated

The job he did with the pitching staff was unquestionably excellent. Not saying he is great now but without that pitching staff going out of their minds we don't even get to Virginia much less the finals.

[BrunswickDawg]

What looked fair? Who hit it? What was it? What's the ****ing score?

0-0 in the 3rd. Foul ball was by Heck

[Bothrops]

This explains everything about our offense.

At least she was hot

[BrunswickDawg]

22 scoreless now

[Tbonewannabe]

What looked fair? Who hit it? What was it? What's the ****ing score?

Heck hits one down 3rd base line barely foul. 3rd baseman might have deflected it with the tip of the glove. He then flew out to center field. Cody Brown then flew out to warning track RF.

[msstate7]

22 scoreless innings in a row

[preachermatt83]

I'm sick of Cohen. This is a joke

[Tbonewannabe]

Vickerson down RF line for a double but Collins flys out to short RF. 0-0 going top of 4th.

[msstate7]

Heck hits one down 3rd base line barely foul. 3rd baseman might have deflected it with the tip of the glove. He then flew out to center field. Cody Brown then flew out to warning track RF.

Our boys are good at that warning track fly ball until it's a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs

[Tbonewannabe]

Our boys are good at that warning track fly ball until it's a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs

Flying out to the outfield for a sac fly might be easier than getting a squeeze bunt down.

[Tbonewannabe]

Fly to center and dribbler to 2nd for 2 outs.

[Tbonewannabe]

Holland snags bloop over 2nd for 3rd out. Going bottom of 4th 0-0.

[War Machine Dawg]

Y'all are ahead of me. Damn streaming delay.

[Tbonewannabe]

If we had Sexton, Tatum, and Preston Brown for our finals run we would have a National title. It is a shame we don't have much to go with them.

[Tbonewannabe]

Robson pop up to SS.

[msstate7]

Go ahead and make it 23 scoreless innings in a row. No way we score without getting leadoff on

[Drugdog]

I'm sick of Cohen. This is a joke

Me too.

[Tbonewannabe]

These guys have no confidence right now. Gridley single up the middle.

[Tbonewannabe]

Starting to rain.

[BrunswickDawg]

It's actually slightly frozen precip. My 15 year old just saw sleet for the first time.

[msstate7]

Starting to rain.

Please don't. If we delay and pull sexton, we'll lose badly

[Tbonewannabe]

Luke Reynolds pop up to CF. 2 outs.

[JohnnyQuid]

Haha damnit boy. U can't make this shit up, gridley gunned down at home.

[Smitty]

Hahahahaha almost!!

[War Machine Dawg]

24 consecutive scoreless innings. Still tied at 0 after 4.

[Treemydawg]

You've got to be kidding me, tagged out at the plate to potentially end our scoreless streak.

[Tbonewannabe]

Holland hit but Gridley out at home. Tried to go from 1st to home, throw wasn't close. Catcher had the ball with Gridley around 3/4 down the line.

[msstate7]

Leadoff walk by sexton. Should be losing in about 5 mins

[Tbonewannabe]

We need Walter Matheu to come drunk out of the dugout. Gridley only scores if the relay goes to the backstop. It is like every decision they make right now is wrong.

[Tbonewannabe]

AU tries to give away an out but bunter is safe.

[Smitty]

Waddell has to come field that bunt!

[Bothrops]

Well that will work too.

Another 24 innings before we have another scoring opportunity, fellas.

[Tbonewannabe]

Our guys should just start trying to bunt down the line and hope it goes foul so they at least can swing the bat.

[Treemydawg]

This shit is becoming hard to watch. This isn't MS state baseball.

[JohnnyQuid]

2-0. Ballgame. Ha

[Tbonewannabe]

Runners on 1st and 2nd no outs, 2 strikes the guy lays down the bunt to get the runners moved over.

[cbrunt29]

Ballgame. No way we can score 2

[Bothrops]

Game owvu

[Treemydawg]

Leadoff walk by sexton. Should be losing in about 5 mins

Hahahhaaha spot on .

[Tbonewannabe]

Bunt back to Sexton runner safe at 3rd. At the corners 1 out.

[JohnnyQuid]

Another ****ing dirtball With guy on 3rd. We do that shit all the time

[JohnnyQuid]

3-0 auburn.

[deltadawg99]

Auburn getting ready to take BP with Mitchell in the game

[War Machine Dawg]

We suck. There is not one single legitimate excuse for us to suck so badly in Cohen's SEVENTH YEAR. Cue Todd to tell us how everything is ok and Cohen just needs more time. We're apparently on the 10 year "rebuilding" plan and that's just fine with Todd & Co.

[Tbonewannabe]

Ross Mitchell in so hopefully he looks better today than he has this year.

[War Machine Dawg]

3-0 Auburn after 4.5. Game Ovah.

[Tbonewannabe]

Teams are hitting almost .300 against Ross this year. Blows my mind that he has fallen so far so fast.

[BulldogBear]

Just checked back. 17 17 17 17 17

[Tbonewannabe]

Ross gets the DP to get out of the inning.

[JohnnyQuid]

Lol waddel with 2 looking strikeouts today. Good thing rea is keeping the bench held down

Mother****er don't have 1 hit all year. Mind blown

[Smitty]

Dylan Ingram where art thou

[War Machine Dawg]

Lol waddel with 2 looking strikeouts today. Good thing read keeping the bench held down

Who gives a **** about Rea? He strikes out looking a bunch, too. He's the epitome of the ball-less senior leaders who've mailed it in since Omaha. So far as I'm concerned he and the rest of those clowns can't graduate fast enough.

[Tbonewannabe]

We have gotten no walks which translates to less runners for us. If we don't get walks and errors we lose. We don't really create offense which goes with our passive approach.

[JohnnyQuid]

Who gives a **** about Rea? He strikes out looking a bunch, too. He's the epitome of the ball-less senior leaders who've mailed it in since Omaha. So far as I'm concerned he and the rest of those clowns can't graduate fast enough.

He does more than pretty much anyone else on this team. If ur ok with Trent mother****ing waddel playing today that's just moronic.

[Tbonewannabe]

Mother****er don't have 1 hit all year. Mind blown

A SEC baseball player shouldn't be in the physical shape Rea is in unless he has 20 homers.

[War Machine Dawg]

Allow me to add: If/when it becomes time to get rid of Cohen (which won't be for at least 1-2 more years), we need to go outside the MSU baseball family for our next coach. Pay whatever the hell it takes and go get a badass coach from elsewhere. Don't know if we could entice him to leave now or not, but my top choice would be O'Connor at UVA. My guess is that ship has sailed, though, unless we hand him a check and tell him write the number on it.

[deltadawg99]

0 leaders and players going through the motion.

At least Cohen is rolling the dice. As far as I am concerned bench every MFer until you find someone who has had their nuts drop.

[LC Dawg]

I just threw my tickets to this year's remaining games in the dumpster behind Brewski's if anybody wants them.

[Smitty]

Fat boy in at 1B

[War Machine Dawg]

He does more than pretty much anyone else on this team. If ur ok with Trent mother****ing waddel playing today that's just moronic.

To be clear, I'm not ok with any position players not named Heck, Brown, Hump, and Collins wearing our uniform. They all suck. And Rea doing "more than pretty much anyone else on this team" is like being the tallest midget. You still suck. And those 4 I mentioned all do more than him. He's still the poster boy of our nutless senior "leaders."

[msstate7]

I don't see what the problem is. We've got the greatest recruiter around getting the best classes ever***

[JohnnyQuid]

in not talking about his physique. I'm talking about a guy who at least gets on ****ing base. Take a shit on wes rea all u want but waddel has no business over there unless read hurt
Period

[Tbonewannabe]

I will say Rea is a great defensive 1st baseman.

[cbrunt29]

Easy inning for Ross. Doesn't matter cause we're still gonna lose

[msstate7]

I will say Rea is a great defensive 1st baseman.

With no range. He can catch anything he doesn't have to move for. If theres a runner on 1st with rea batting, ANYTHING on the ground is a dp.

[Tbonewannabe]

in not talking about his physique. I'm talking about a guy who at least gets on ****ing base. Take a shit on wes rea all u want but waddel has no business over there unless read hurt
Period

I agree that Waddell doesn't seem any better than Rea but Rea isn't exactly impossible to keep out of the lineup. He draws a couple of walks and occasionally hits a single. At this point you shake things up to try to wake people up. It isn't like it can get worse.

[Smitty]

Hump benched today bwahaha how dumb

[Tbonewannabe]

Why is Hump not in the lineup?

[JohnnyQuid]

To be clear, I'm not ok with any position players not named Heck, Brown, Hump, and Collins wearing our uniform. They all suck. And Rea doing "more than pretty much anyone else on this team" is like being the tallest midget. You still suck. And those 4 I mentioned all do more than him. He's still the poster boy of our nutless senior "leaders."

Cool, Rea only leads team on rbi, walks, and has .515 obp. butlers leader or not he's last guy I'm taking shits on today. don't Get it sorry

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump benched today bwahaha how dumb

Heck, Brown, Hump, and Collins should be in the lineup every damn day. Draw the other 5 out of a hat, because they can't be worse than they already are. I'd be ok promoting Robson into that group that should start every day, too.

[Tbonewannabe]

Pop up galore.

[msstate7]

I wanna see Michael smith draw a start

[War Machine Dawg]

Still 3-0 Auburn after 6. 26 consecutive scoreless inning. **** Cohen and **** these shitty ass, mentally fragile, nutless players.

[JohnnyQuid]

Doesn't seem better? I'd say not since he doesn't have a hit on the year

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Who gives a **** about Rea? He strikes out looking a bunch, too. He's the epitome of the ball-less senior leaders who've mailed it in since Omaha. So far as I'm concerned he and the rest of those clowns can't graduate fast enough.
These seniors can't get out of here soon enough. The only thing they're leaders at is the stupid stuff we do in the dugout.

[Tbonewannabe]

Cool, Rea only leads team on rbi, walks, and has .515 obp. butlers leader or not he's last guy I'm taking shits on today. don't Get it sorry

I personally haven't seen anything from anyone to make me say they have to play. We have 25 straight innings mostly with Rea, he isn't exactly an integral part of the offense.

[War Machine Dawg]

These seniors can't get out of here soon enough. The only thing they're leaders at is the stupid stuff we do in the dugout.

Shhh....you'll have Johnny Quid telling you how irreplaceable Rea is.

[War Machine Dawg]

I personally haven't seen anything from anyone to make me say they have to play. We have 25 straight innings mostly with Rea, he isn't exactly an integral part of the offense.

He is terrible. I'd be willing to bet he compiled most of his stats during our shitty non-con schedule. He pretty much hasn't done shit since SEC play started.

[War Machine Dawg]

3-0 at the stretch.

[Tbonewannabe]

Doesn't seem better? I'd say not since he doesn't have a hit on the year

Starting Waddell might be a wake up call to Rea. He isn't setting the world on fire. His obp is mostly walks because they know there is a good chance for a DP with him running the bases.

[msstate7]

I'm sick of hearing so and so hit that ball well, but out. Well hit balls find grass. We're hitting ball where our spray charts say we will

[War Machine Dawg]

Jim hoping for a Rea 3-run bomb. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Starting Waddell might be a wake up call to Rea. He isn't setting the world on fire. His obp is mostly walks because they know there is a good chance for a DP with him running the bases.

Rea pretty much stands there watching pitches. K or walk 80% of the time it seems

[msstate7]

Jim hoping for a Rea 3-run bomb. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping for the braves to go undefeated this year. Both odds are about the same

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm hoping for the braves to go undefeated this year. Both odds are about the same

Yep.

[ScottH]

Where is Michael Smith?

[Tbonewannabe]

Where is Michael Smith?

Great question.

[msstate7]

Where is Michael Smith?

We've got too many great hitters to give him a shot

[War Machine Dawg]

Long fly out for Holland. Time for that Rea 3 run bomb, with only 1 on base.****

[Tbonewannabe]

So can AU entire staff get SEC pitcher of the week?

[JohnnyQuid]

I personally haven't seen anything from anyone to make me say they have to play. We have 25 straight innings mostly with Rea, he isn't exactly an integral part of the offense.

I'm not saying reas perfect... I'm saying that replacing him with a guy with 0 hits all year, "shaking up the lineup" or not is stupid.

As I say that wes rea strikes the **** out. Still rather have him than waddel.

[msstate7]

Damn why didnt we start rea

[War Machine Dawg]

27 scoreless innings. To the 8th we go.

[Tbonewannabe]

Rea didn't even foul a pitch. I guess that is why Cohen gave Waddell a chance.

[JohnnyQuid]

Shhh....you'll have Johnny Quid telling you how irreplaceable Rea is.

Is he irreplaceable? No. With the current choices other than him? **** yes. Go campaign to start waddel rest of year, maybe he'll get on base 1 time by seasons end.

[ScottH]

Pull the redshirt on Cole Gordon

[msstate7]

Personally I wouldn't start any seniors. We're garbage. We're not gonna win. Let's just let the young guys play. See if any are worth a crap

[Smitty]

Glad we got rid of Dylan Ingram.

[Tbonewannabe]

I'm not saying reas perfect... I'm saying that replacing him with a guy with 0 hits all year, "shaking up the lineup" or not is stupid.

As I say that wes rea strikes the **** out. Still rather have him than waddel.

Right now I wouldn't even blink if Cody Brown was benched and he is the only player that is hitting worth a shit. It isn't like we will score less runs because unless all my math teachers were liars, the way runs are scored you can't get less than 0. We literally can't score less runs right now.

[War Machine Dawg]

Personally I wouldn't start any seniors. We're garbage. We're not gonna win. Let's just let the young guys play. See if any are worth a crap

Cohen will just ruin their confidence by trying to bunt our way into 1-0 wins.

[ScottH]

Glad we got rid of Dylan Ingram.

I had forgotten about him.

He impressed me in every scrimmage I saw him play.

[Tbonewannabe]

Is he irreplaceable? No. With the current choices other than him? **** yes. Go campaign to start waddel rest of year, maybe he'll get on base 1 time by seasons end.

Waddell no but Reid Humphries **** yes.

[War Machine Dawg]

Glad we got rid of Dylan Ingram.

And Todd's favorite player, Daniel Garner. We don't need more hitters, offense won't be/isn't a problem.****

[War Machine Dawg]

Mitchell tagged for 1 in the 8th. 4-0 bad guys.

[Smitty]

Daniel Garner leads his team with 4 bombs, 20 RBI... Just 14 K's.

[War Machine Dawg]

Daniel Garner leads his team with 4 bombs, 20 RBI... Just 14 K's.

Good thing he sucked so much and we're loaded with bomb ass hitters.

[JohnnyQuid]

Waddell no but Reid Humphries **** yes.

I'm with ya

[Tbonewannabe]

Beautiful DP to get out of the inning. Heard a fan yell "we still can't score as they came back to the dugout. Good job a**hole I am sure they didn't know that.

[War Machine Dawg]

No Jim, we don't know that this team has to break out of the scoreless streak sometime. Our approach to offensive is garbage and leads directly to scoreless innings.

And as I type, HBP gifts us the leadoff man on base with Brown coming to the plate. C'mon, kid. We need a hit.

[Tbonewannabe]

I'm with ya

At this point I would go through the roster and pick the best hitters. Figure out where to play them.

[JohnnyQuid]

At this point I would go through the roster and pick the best hitters. Figure out where to play them.

Let me be clear, my problem wasn't so much that rea didn't play but who played for him. That being said there's really not much of an option behind him. This coming off the back of not starting heck yesterday was just annoying

And I agree with that somewhat, just piece in the defense but gotta find some hitters.

[Smitty]

Remember when some prominent posters were saying offense isn't a problem.

[Smitty]

What happens if we come in 14th in the league?

[War Machine Dawg]

Remember when some prominent posters were saying offense isn't a problem.

As recently as Thursday, I believe. But they're the experts.

[War Machine Dawg]

4-0 Auburn, 28 scoreless innings. That's 3+ games worth of innings, for those keeping count. But we're fine on offense. Just fix the bullpen.

[msstate7]

What happens if we come in 14th in the league?

I'd follow the howland routine. Have me a nice replacement and fire cohen. Auburn fired chizik bc of a terrible year 2 years after a natty. It worked out for them

[Smitty]

Look at the bright side! We got their pitch count up all the way to 122 thru 8, surely he will come out and let us beat their pen! Bunting one man over in the 1st because obviously we can score so many ******* runs and hold them to.... Zero. Right? Amirite?!??

#Cohenball

[War Machine Dawg]

I'd follow the howland routine. Have me a nice replacement and fire cohen. Auburn fired chizik bc of a terrible year 2 years after a natty. It worked out for them

I'd be ok with that at this point. He's had 6 recruiting classes and we're this terrible. Break the bank on a baseball coach. Won't happen, though. It'll take at least one more season this bad, maybe two. And I don't think we'll finish 14th, but we won't do any better than 11 or 12. Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 14th, though.

[Tbonewannabe]

4-0 Auburn, 28 scoreless innings. That's 3+ games worth of innings, for those keeping count. But we're fine on offense. Just fix the bullpen.

What we were doing early works only if you have a great pitching staff and the other teams get rattled. UCLA beat us for the National title with this offense. The big problem is limiting your offense puts more pressure on the pitching staff.

[Tbonewannabe]

If the other team doesn't get rattled you are just giving away outs.

[War Machine Dawg]

What we were doing early works only if you have a great pitching staff and the other teams get rattled. UCLA beat us for the National title with this offense. The big problem is limiting your offense puts more pressure on the pitching staff.

The difference is a) the balls were more dead when they beat us and b) TD Ameritrade is a ****ing offensive graveyard. And even they scored more than this. They were a truly aggressive small ball team that hit-and-run and stole bases. We just sac bunt like a bunch of wussy clowns.

[maroonmania]

Daniel Garner leads his team with 4 bombs, 20 RBI... Just 14 K's.

He had to go, his bunting skills sucked.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'd follow the howland routine. Have me a nice replacement and fire cohen. Auburn fired chizik bc of a terrible year 2 years after a natty. It worked out for them

Another point, we'll give Cohen a longer leash because he's "one of ours." Meaning he'll probably get 1-2 more seasons than he should if he doesn't get this turned around.

[Tbonewannabe]

I'd be ok with that at this point. He's had 6 recruiting classes and we're this terrible. Break the bank on a baseball coach. Won't happen, though. It'll take at least one more season this bad, maybe two. And I don't think we'll finish 14th, but we won't do any better than 11 or 12. Wouldn't be surprised if we finish 14th, though.

Playing for the National title bought Cohen a lot of leeway. Another year this bad "might" do it but may just force him to make some changes.

[War Machine Dawg]

He had to go, his bunting skills sucked.

Robsons slaps don't work vs SEC 3B

[War Machine Dawg]

We've been outhit 10-4 today. Sad part? I'm shocked we have 4 hits.

[Tbonewannabe]

Is Swinarski going to pan out? We could use some pop.

[Tbonewannabe]

Just realized after being 13-0, we have went 5-11.

[Smitty]

What happened? We ran a pitch count up and got in their pen and didn't score??

[JohnnyQuid]

Mercifully over.

[Tbonewannabe]

Perfect way to end it. Passively trying to draw a walk instead of looking to hit something.

[War Machine Dawg]

And Reynolds backwards K to end it. 4-0 final. 29 scoreless innings and counting. Didn't see that coming.****

[maroonmania]

This is really hard to believe. Even in those first 2 miserable years when Cohen first got here I don't believe we ever came close to being shut out 3 games in a row. This season is over.

[Bucky Dog]

Was there any booing at the game today? There really needs to be a lot. And signs made about Cohen being stubborn and small ball doesn't work. Quit ****ing bunting!!

[BankerDog]

The fact people even bring up Joey Swinkarski's name is stupid. His swing is so long. And since everyone loves stats, he hit like .160 this summer I believe. But yet Daniel Garner wasn't good enough? Neither was Dylan Ingram who out hit Wes Rea ON THE SAME TEAM?!

If Gordon is as good as everyone says he is, pull the redshirt off him and let him hit. Let Michael Smith play. I don't ever wanna see Waddell, Spurill, or Rea in the game again. Move Reid to 1B if you have too. Rea walks around like he is something, but his performance since the CWS series has sucked.

I don't even want to start talking about our bullpen. Like many others have said it's ridiculous we only get a year of production out of guys. We need help.

All of these players come here thinking they're that good because we played for a CWS. Cohen has lost his intense edge. I can tell from talking to people. The year he went to the CWS he was on those boys hard until the end when he loosened up. This brings me to my other point, he has missed some evaluations in his recruiting phase as well. I do not wanna hear about how great our classes are anymore until they step on campus and show me something and frankly just a few guys have showed me something. Hump, Brown, Heck, Collins, and maybe Jacob Robson.

Most innings an MSU team has gone scoreless since 1976, I believe.

Oh I forgot to mention. Can someone tell the person running that HailStateBB twitter account, I could care a less what uniform we wear or their nice little pictures and stuff they put up. Get ready for a game and quit worrying about pleasing social media. It's getting out of hand.

Cohen should apologize to the fans for this shit show... Embarrassing..
It's Year 7 and we have been shutout by USM and Aubbie twice...
Our guys will shit their pants when they face the big boys of the league...

The fact people even bring up Joey Swinkarski's name is stupid. His swing is so long. And since everyone loves stats, he hit like .160 this summer I believe. But yet Daniel Garner wasn't good enough? Neither was Dylan Ingram who out hit Wes Rea ON THE SAME TEAM?!

Only reason I mentioned Swinarski is he was supposed to be a MLB draft pick. We don't have that many hitters drafted.

+1

Another case of did Cohen misevaluate or is he failing to develop? Either way, it's on him.

It's simple.

Either...

1.Our talent is overrated
2.We have coached them down


Really those are the only two options.

Don't know, but it was sleeting lightly here a few minutes ago. That can't help the bats

Take the bats indoors tonite. In the 60's tomorrow.

Probably both.

Now the question is.......will we score again this year?
