[GTHOM]

Cant let last night ruin our season, oral roberts is better than EKU, they beat Auburn last weekend

[Brando]

Nice 1st by James. 9 pitches thrown...

[Brando]

Not a good start for us at bat. We go down in order, all K's.

[Blackout]

Dawgs go down 1-2-3.

0-0 End of 1

[Blackout]

Well shit

ORU home run

[Brando]

Dawgs done 1-0 after bomb by OR. James left one over the plate with 2 strikes... once again, working uphill...

[Ralph]

Mouth Roberts

[Brando]

Nice catch by Collins. Going to bottom of 2. Dawgs down 1-0.

[coastratdog]

Gavin Collins nice catch.

[coastratdog]

Collins nice single

[Blackout]

Rooker double play

Hump robbed of a HR

Shit

[Brando]

Hump needs to hit the weights a little. Hell, he keeps barely hitting them out and getting robbed. Hit them over the damn Left Field lounge so they cant...

[Bdawg]

Man that's twice for him

[Brando]

New pitcher. Ryan Sear in for James. Once again looks like we are fixen to use the whole damn pen...

[BulldogBear]

Its not a coincidence our run production went up when he went to the 3-hole

[Blackout]

Because anecdotal evidence of a handful of games in this sport is always right.

[I seen it dawg]

Throw the ball over the ****** plate. ****.

[Coach34]

Because anecdotal evidence of a handful of games in this sport is always right.

No- because I'm ****ing right and you are wrong. We have 15-16 games worth of evidence. We are a better team with Robson and Brown setting table for Lon, Collins, Lowe, Rooker...the line-up just works better that way

[I seen it dawg]

Good get his ass out.

[HoopsDawg]

Ole Paul Young.

Thanks. I'm tired of dealing with the serf.

[mparkerfd20]

These games do count so Cohen please play as if they do. Bullpen sessions in real games get you beat.

[I seen it dawg]

Throw strikes young

[I seen it dawg]

These games do count so Cohen please play as if they do. Bullpen sessions in real games get you beat.

Trying to find somebody t put in these games we can trust to throw the ball over the plate. They all have good stuff but got to find some trust and only way to do that is to run them out there under the lights.

[I seen it dawg]

How about we start with a first pitch strike. ****.

[I seen it dawg]

The AstroTurf on the field is a damn joke and a travesty.

[mic]

Zac Houston 6'4"ish" around 245lb and has the nut sac of a 12yr old... He can't finishing an inning in a mid week game..??
He should walk to the mound with his cock hanging out and dare opposing players to step in the box...

[I seen it dawg]

Can't ****ing get people out. Our ****ing bullpen is shit.

[I seen it dawg]

****ing nut up coming out of the pen. Command the ****ing zone. Goddammit.

[I seen it dawg]

Ball 1. Again.

[I seen it dawg]

Hey pitchers when you get ahead it's a lot ****ing easier.

[I seen it dawg]

Get ahead good things happen. Get behind and bad things happen. It's pretty simple.

[Blackout]

No- because I'm ****ing right and you are wrong. We have 15-16 games worth of evidence. We are a better team with Robson and Brown setting table for Lon, Collins, Lowe, Rooker...the line-up just works better that way

Let's just look at the numbers then since you are so ****ing right.

Lon Kruger in the 2-hole (10 games)
20-36... .555 batting average

Lon Kruger in the 3-hole (6 games)
5-25... .200 batting average


You ****ing people are the ones that argue about hitters being more comfortable in certain spots in the lineup.

[Coach34]

Not starting Cody vs a RHP? Cohen deserves everything he gets

[I seen it dawg]

K then walk on 4 pitches. ****ing terrible.

[Blackout]

it doesn't matter what Lon's average is- what is our runs per game with him in 3-hole vs 2-hole? Ima hang up and listen

7.4 to 7.3 in favor of 2 hole

And your argument looks real bad btw when the Mendoza Line is introduced

[Bdawg]

Guess Cohen can't sub out the big sticks tonight. Also agree. How is Cody not in the lineup?

[msstate7]

Whatcha think 0-5 week?

[msstate7]

I bet this pitcher is glad to be facing miss state after Jacksonville state destroyed him last night

[Blackout]

I'm just here to point out the absurdity. You can't garner any info off a 6 ****ing game sample in BASEBALL. That's why they play 162 in the bigs. Too much random variation involved. In my opinion we score more runs with a Robson-Kruger-Brown-Collins-Lowe 1-5.. Also gives us L-R-L-R-L

[Coach34]

7.4 to 7.3 in favor of 2 hole

And your argument looks real bad btw when the Mendoza Line is introduced

so it's basically even- yet we have played the toughest portion of the schedule with him in the 3 hole. That's what I thought. Right again as usual

[Blackout]

so it's basically even- yet we have played the toughest portion of the schedule with him in the 3 hole. That's what I thought. Right again as usual

LOL whatever man.. I guess his magical presence in that 3 hole despite any output willed us to score runs riiiiiight??

.555 vs .200. You make the argument for lineup spot comfort, so there it is. Didn't think it was that skewed did you?

[Blackout]

We are a better team with Robson and Brown setting table for Lon, Collins, Lowe, Rooker...the line-up just works better that way

You also realize in those 6 games with Kruger in the 3-hole, Cody Brown was only in the 2-hole...... ONCE

So, your lineup argument is invalid anyway. One game... damn.

[Coach34]

7.4 to 7.3 in favor of 2 hole

And your argument looks real bad btw when the Mendoza Line is introduced

You're a ****ing lie Will James

Its 8.0 runs per game with Kruger in the 3-hole

Its 7.4 with Kruger in the 2hole- and that includes 2 games with SD State and one with Alcorn

Even the shit teams cant get the average high enough that we are much better offensively with Kruger in the 3-hole

[I seen it dawg]

Who is will james?

[Blackout]

You're a ****ing lie Will James

I hope you aren't counting last night's RPG for Kruger 3-hole (you are I ran the numbers) because KRUGER DIDN'T START

Robson-Brown-Kruger has only happened ONCE this year.
.555 in 2-hole... .200 in 3-hole.
YOU and I-Seen-It make the argument for comfort in a certain lineup spot.
MORE runs/game.

I win

[djaymsu5]

I don't think Kruger being in the 2 or 3 hole has anything to do with how good or bad his average is. He isn't knocking the cover off the ball anymore cause he is swinging for the fence everytime now after hitting all those home runs and doubles. When he relaxes at the plate and let's the ball come to him and hits it where it's pitched and takes what the pitcher gives him he will stop popping the ball up and getting under everything. The whole team seems to be pressing at the plate after last night cause they are trying to do too much cause they know they cannot lose another game like last night. But if they keep pressing at the plate we will lose this game too. Krugers 2 out hit in the 4 hole was excellent 2 strike approach hitting. Need to rally here and pull out a win. Regardless of the score a win is a win.

[I seen it dawg]

Christ. Compete with your pitches. That shit in the left batters box is awful.

[Coach34]

You also realize in those 6 games with Kruger in the 3-hole, Cody Brown was only in the 2-hole...... ONCE

So, your lineup argument is invalid anyway. One game... damn.

Brown batted 2nd vs South Alabama and Eastern Kentucky- you are lying again....stop being wrong Will James

[Coach34]

I hope you aren't counting last night's RPG (you are I ran the numbers) because KRUGER DIDN'T START

thats ok- its Kruger out of the 2-hole...of course it counts

[djaymsu5]

But to the point about Cody Brown in the 2 hole and Kruger in the 3 hole I also think that's the better line up. Cody is a gamer and makes shit happen. He gets rallies going and he needs to be in the everyday line up.

[I seen it dawg]

That dogshit pitch put the runner in scoring position so,he can score on a single. Little baseball things we are supremely ****ing up.and it's costing us dearly.

[Bucky Dog]

Unbelievable! 3-1 on a two out 6 hopper to score the runner who reached on a HBP then advanced to second on a WP.

[Ralph]

Why am I watching this.

[Blackout]

Brown batted 2nd vs South Alabama and Eastern Kentucky- you are lying again....stop being wrong Will James

Kruger wasn't the 3 hole last night!!!!!

Your argument for Robson-Brown-Kruger is based on that lineup which has happened ONCE

[I seen it dawg]

Cody is the perfect 2 hole hitter for our team period.

[Blackout]

I don't think Kruger being in the 2 or 3 hole has anything to do with how good or bad his average is.

It doesn't but Coach and ISID say it does because players are "more comfortable" in a certain lineup spot... Except when that comes to Kruger and the numbers are widely different (.555 to .200)

[Blackout]

Cody is the perfect 2 hole hitter for our team period.

But Kruger is SO COMFORTABLE there! He can't hit in the 3-spot... No comfort (.200 average there)

I'll take a .500 hitter over Brown in the 2 hole

[djaymsu5]

Why in gods name did they schedule these two games? Whyyyyy!

[Bdawg]

How does our pitcher almost hit the grass with a wild pitch. I don't see how you can miss that bad. Our walks and wild pitches bite us just about every time.

[Coach34]

You dont win shit- we are talking about having a better line-up- not where Kruger hits for the highest average.

Without nearly 40 runs vs Alcorn and SD State in 3 games- our line-up with Kruger hitting 2nd is dogshit. Its hilarious that you talked in the beginning of the thread about how you liked this line-up- and here we are in the 8th inning in a midweek game vs Oral Roberts with ONE run

Thats how ****ing bad our line-up is with Kruger batting 2nd

[I seen it dawg]

But Kruger is SO COMFORTABLE there! He can't hit in the 3-spot... No comfort (.200 average there)

I'll take a .500 hitter over Brown in the 2 hole

Wait but you can't tell anything over such a small sample...

[Bully13]

Update?

[I seen it dawg]

**** yeah kid show some damn fire.

[I seen it dawg]

3-1 them b8. Magnum on first no out

Robson was safe. Makeup for calling magnum safe. Wasn't close.

[Blackout]

Wait but you can't tell anything over such a small sample...

It's your argument not mine

[BossDawg]

I can't do anything but laugh at this point I'm so damn frustrated. This is some of the most "We are MSU" bull$#!t I've ever seen. Might as well kiss the new ballpark goodbye and enjoy watching the rest of the conference lap us, yet again. Typical Cohen BS: 2 steps forward then 3 steps back, if not 4.

Damnit, Cohen. And what's worse, I don't have the confidence that Strick will do anything.

[Bucky Dog]

What a BS makeup call by the first base ump!!

[Blackout]

Kruger batted 3rd that inning and struck out... He CANT bat 3rd mentally!

[I seen it dawg]

It's your argument not mine

I've lived this argument already. And you're wrong every time so no need to argue again. Go get back in your comic books.

[Bucky Dog]

Why did I turn this on to see us lose again. Bye John. We lose this and we might get swept in Nashville

[djaymsu5]

Guys just except the fact that we are going to lose this game. This is going to be a rough weekend in Nashville. Team is facing some serious adversity right now. They are pressing too damn much. Just play ball!

[Coach34]

Brown wasn't batting 3rd those games... Robson-Kruger-Brown...



That has zero to do with what we are talking about. We are talking about a better offense with Kruger batting 2nd vs Kruger not batting 2nd.

Its overwhelming how much better our offense is with Kruger out of the 2-hole

[Blackout]

I've lived this argument already. And you're wrong every time so no need to argue again. Go get back in your comic books.

You don't know shit mentally about the game. Stop acting like you do. You have no idea how he feels about hitting 3 hole. I have a sneaky feeling he hit 3 in high school and Juco.

[Blackout]

Kruger isn't comfortable hitting 3rd (your and ISID argument)

I'm not disputing this- it has zero to do with what I said. Our offense is clearly better when he bats 3rd. Its overwhelming.

.555 to .200

Yo have zero understanding of how the lineup works in its totality or how to put a team together. Just ****ing stop.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I haven't liked Cohen for about two seasons now. But I still thought maybe he could get the job done. I'm slowly beginning to think he won't ever get us to where we want to be.

[coastratdog]

If we don't pull this one out u can't blame the pitching. And please don't think one player in RF would have made a difference.

[I seen it dawg]

Pound the zone hump. Nice job so far, better than the rest of our garbage pen.

[baseballfan]

It's pretty obvious - whatever pitching coach is doing is not effective. Butch went through the fall with these guys and they were lights out against our hitters which are better than what we have faced. As a team, pitchers are not prepared. Need to figure this out.

[ShotgunDawg]

You guys arguing about lineups are a joke. It is far more important who's in your lineup than what order they hit in. If we are losing because of our lineup, then we have much bigger issues than that, which we do.

1. This team has atrocious plate discipline. They aren't seeing breaking balls out of the hand. We are using an ambush, collision style hitting approach in order to produce more power. We are producing more power, but it leaves us extremely vulnerable to pitchers that pitch backwards.

2. We have very little talent in the bullpen. Bad arm actions & deliveries that add up poor command & control. Wes Johnson will fix this in time, but the recruiting in our bullpen leaves a lot to be desired. Wes will fix this, but he's got to work with what he has right now.

[Blackout]

You don't know shit mentally about the game. Stop acting like you do. You have no idea how he feels about hitting 3 hole. I have a sneaky feeling he hit 3 in high school and Juco.

He hit cleanup last year.. I'd rather him be cleanup than 3 hole too... 3 hole comes up with nobody on and 2 outs a lot more. Wasted AB there.

[I seen it dawg]

If we don't pull this one out u can't blame the pitching. And please don't think one player in RF would have made a difference.

Young throws a cheeseburger for a double. Shit pitch in clutch situation. Rugby wild pitches guy to second so he can score on a 2 out seeing eye grounder. Maybe you can blame the pitching a little. Maybe if the pitching would get ahead of hitters it might be better.

[Blackout]

I'm not disputing this- it has zero to do with what I said. Our offense is clearly better when he bats 3rd. Its overwhelming.

So having a .200 hitter in the 3 hole is better than a .555 hitter in the 2 hole?????

[HancockCountyDog]

We've scored 1 run against a team that AU scored 35 runs in 3 games last weekend, and your complaint is about the pitching?

Agree with almost all of this. You better have the right guys in the lineup, but when you get them there better be sure you have them in the right spots.

Where they are comfortable, exactly.. Not where they hit .200

[ShotgunDawg]

Agree with almost all of this. You better have the right guys in the lineup, but when you get them there better be sure you have them in the right spots.

It matters somewhat. The most important spots in the lineup are 1,2, & 4. Put you best hitters there & 17 it. With this style of hitting, we are going to hit for more power, but we've got to find the approach to maximize power & OBP. Hopefully, that comes with experience.

careful- your baseball knowledge is leaking out

[ShotgunDawg]

If something is working then don't fix it. I agree with that.

However, the sample size of the season is WAY too small to make any valid observations about where guys are comfortable in the lineup. Some of these guys aren't going to touch a breaking ball ball or change-up regardless of what spot in the lineup they are hitting.

[Coach34]

So having a .200 hitter in the 3 hole is better than a .555 hitter in the 2 hole?????

Yes when we average more runs per game- the line up is about far more than 1 hitter

[I seen it dawg]

Swing the ****ing bat.

[Bucky Dog]

That was a nice at bat by Lowe***

[msstate7]

SMH... All this arguing over lineups. We should be able to throw any 9 guys we got and put 5 runs on this team... Just like we should be able to throw any pitchers we have last night and held eastern Kentucky to under 8 runs. Look at our results this year and tell me the outlier... It's Oregon. We aren't a good baseball team

[Blackout]

It matters somewhat. The most important spots in the lineup are 1,2, & 4. Put you best hitters there & 17 it. With this style of hitting, we are going to hit for more power, but we've got to find the approach to maximize power & OBP. Hopefully, that comes with experience.

Right on! Because 3 hole often hits with nobody on and 2 out.. But these guys stuck in the 70's say best hitter is 3 hole cause thats how Casey Stengal did it!

[Dawg61]

Told y'all before this season started it'd be Cohen's last year. Still think I'm wrong?

[Blackout]

Yes when we average more runs per game- the line up is about far more than 1 hitter

We don't.. The sample size is so futile is silly. Kruger-Brown 2-3 because Kruger is a BETTER hitter and the 2 hole is more important

[Bucky Dog]

And Collins swings at two on his nose. Someone said it early, we seem to not have bat discipline and guess on a lot of pitches.

[Bucky Dog]

That relief pitcher just blew us down!!

[I seen it dawg]

I hope our bullpen guys watched this closer. He rammed it in the zone with the fastball and commanded the plate.

I vow to not watch an inning this weekend until we win again!

[Bullsy]

Bottom of the 9th: our 3 hole hitter strikes out looking.... Our 4 hole hitter strikes out swing at a ball above his eye balls.... And the pinch hitter comes in and also strikes out on a ball chin high.

But that's baseball, right****

Jacksonville state chased that guy in 2/3 of an inning last night

Just another Jeckle and Hyde, Cohen coached team, that's all. Nothing new imho.

[ShotgunDawg]

We are about to lose 5 straight because Vandy is going to kick our ass.

I don't agree. I think our hitting approach will be better against guys that challenge us with fastballs than guys that throw crap.

Plus, our weekend pitchers are pretty good. We just lack depth in a major way on the staff. Losing Gray Fenter & possibly Parker Ford really hurt. Gray alone would have been this team's best reliever.

Yes, I saw it & it wasn't pretty, but I still contend that we will hit guys that challenge with fastballs better. If the closer would have stayed in another inning or two, we would have adjusted. Ambushing fastball fits our best hitters strengths the most

[state66]

You never know what you are going to get with this team. Last night we we couldnt get anyone out, scored 12, and still lose. Tonight cant get hit Oral Roberts and scratch off 1 run. ****ing bullshit.

[Blackout]

But brown hasn't hit 3 hole so how do you know?

I think it's a stupid argument about lineup comfort, I'm just turning it around to show you your own arguments are flawed. Brown for the 3 hole because he's our 5th best option... Not some magical comfort

Will James your approach to convincing people is all wrong. There is no 100% correct answer but your unwavering stance turns everybody off to sabermetrics and more importantly TO YOU! Your total lack of giving a shit for other people's input deems you a fool to anyone else having a conversation with you. Please step back and listen to what I'm saying and view your conversations from an outsiders perspective. If you'll learn to be more humble you be rewarded in return with people who will respect your opinions better. 2 cents

[I seen it dawg]

I think it's a stupid argument about lineup comfort, I'm just turning it around to show you your own arguments are flawed. Brown for the 3 hole because he's our 5th best option... Not some magical comfort

I think everything you type is stupid....so there's that

[confucius say]

Did you miss the 9th inning? That guy was challenging us with fastballs and we couldn't hit em

Yea but to be fair we took cock shot fast balls (lowe) and swung at four in our eyes.

The problem was we were flat as a pancake after that soul crushing loss last night and are not mature enough to overcome that in 24 hours.

We made fun of ole miss for playing grambling this past weekend and we turn around and lose to a team last night on that level. So what do we do to follow that up? Lose to another garbage team. Meanwhile om has 1 loss (top 10 team beat em), top 10, and on their way to hosting a regional (maybe super). BTW, this will make om better than us in all 3 sports this year and bianco >> Cohen. /rant

I'm illustrating absurdity by being absurd... These psychologists harp about lineup comfort yet when shown overwhelming data they run away

Which worries the shit out of me with all these new guys travelling to Vandy. Not to mention Vandy is pretty ****ing good.

No one is running away. You're just old and tired and nobody respects a word you type. Sec rant is prob a better board for your persona.

[Backspin]

I don't agree. I think our hitting approach will be better against guys that challenge us with fastballs than guys that throw crap.

Plus, our weekend pitchers are pretty good. We just lack depth in a major way on the staff. Losing Gray Fenter & possibly Parker Ford really hurt. Gray alone would have been this team's best reliever.

Man, that's embarrassing. Vandy is going to throw a whole lot more than fastballs dude.

And you've got 17 more minutes then it's lights out and sleep time.

Why should Kruger be our 3-hole hitter if he isn't comfortable there (according to your arguments)

[HoopsDawg]

No energy or passion tonight. Maybe Oregon sucks, I don't know. We will find out who we are and what we can be this weekend.

By the way, I never would have removed Rooker from the 2 hole after last weekend!!!

OM people swear they have a longtime troll here- Ive been thinking its you for awhile now.

[Dawg61]

Nobody answered so I'll ask again. I said before the season started this will be Cohen's last year. Do y'all still think I'm wrong?

[Dawg61]

It's not 7. Shotgun, Goat, and the *** that got pissed at me for comparing Dak to Cam our my leading candidates. Shotgun and Goat like both schools so I'm not sure they qualify as OM trolls just victims of liking both Mississippi schools.

[I seen it dawg]

How do you know if he's comfortable or not? I've never discussed comfort level for hitters.

OM folks say it's Shotgun

[dawgday166]

Well ... that was fun. Glad I geared up for it.

I honestly perceived Kruger to have hit better this last weekend, but I do know that the whole team seemed to hit better. I'm not sure why you'd move him between the 2 and 3 hole for any reason really. Is there some kind of statistical or probability analysis Cohen is looking at to make that decision? Put him in one or the other and leave him there is what I would think to do.

I do know that after this past weekend I wouldn't have changed the lineups vs R and vs L. Those seemed to worked pretty well and I would have left 1 - 7 hitters like they were.

It aint Shotgun unless he is the biggest ****ing traitor of all-time. Shotgun wore the Maroon and White. I'll defend him to the end until I get evidence otherwise...Goat is just a State fan that needs to regulate his meds.

Yea ... making fun of other teams, getting too high after a somewhat decent win (I mean beating Oregon isn't quite like beating Bama in football), etc has a way of coming back to bite you.

It isn't out of the realm of possibility that there's people that exist that love this state and both of the major universities in it. Old Misses has lots of fans that like State. MSU just doesn't have lots of fans that like Old Misses. There's tons of State fans that like LSU and Bama though.

Ok... I starting my espionage on SPS and followed you here on day 1, took for this site on numerous boards, and practically live on this board... Whatever you wanna think.

Oh and what part of my post was wrong?

[Dawg61]

The part where you gave Old Misses credit for something on C34's board.

[chainedup_Dawg]

In C34's defense, that's no different than any other om fan**
