Dawgs vs Possums Game Thread

[War Machine Dawg]

Baseball Dak K to get out of the inning. 3-0 Possums after 4

[mstatefan91]

We struggling and ump ain't about to help us out. Gonna be a long ass night.

[smootness]

Well baseball is a superstitious sport and we all-the-sudden change our lineup with a 12-game winning streak. The better question, smoot is what was wrong with the lineup that led to a 12-game winning streak?

Baseball is a superstitious sport? That's what we're going with as to why this lineup is silly?

[msstate7]

Hudson's last bad start was vs lsu. Hudson hasn't been good vs last 4 (Florida, aTm, lsu, and lsu) ranked teams. He's been very good vs unranked teams. Think the schedule is what made Hudson look better of late

[Brando]

Ill be here. Havent missed a pitch of the tourney yet, might as well not start now.

[bulldogsmsu]

Not throwing in the towel yet. Let's see how we respond. We cant play perfect baseball all the time. Geez.

[CJDAWG85]

Bats have to wake up. Man we look like we played the marathon last night.

[Percho]

I think I'll give up on this thread and just watch the game. Bye!

[smootness]

Gridley has cost us 2 runs this inning. If he's the best we got, Omaha is a dream. can't go the distance with a glaring weakness at a key position.

Where's my eye roll GIF?

[drunkernhelldawg]

That shows what we're up against. LSU playing with inspiration. We still can beat them though.

[CadaverDawg]

How does everybody else's infielders get to damn near everything, but every ground ball finds a huge hole against us?

[Brando]

Hudson looked pissed coming off the field a min ago. He needs to be a leader and get into their ass and wake them up. He looked good at first then got in trouble. We keep the errors down and quit giving them 10 outs an inning we will be fine. We can hit anyone....

[wasabaka]

Monday's CL headline in an alternate universe:

Thanks, Bulldogs: Ole Miss gets help winning SEC Tourney
Rebels turn MSU's lack of interest into championship

[msstate7]

Hudson looked pissed coming off the field a min ago. He needs to be a leader and get into their ass and wake them up. He looked good at first then got in trouble. We keep the errors down and quit giving them 10 outs an inning we will be fine. We can hit anyone....
He made the first error

[War Machine Dawg]

I vote we just pull Hudson, put in Tatum, and call it a night. No point in running up Huddy's pitch count on a night when we're flat as hell.

[CadaverDawg]

2-0 count and we hit a weak grounder to 2nd? What are we doing at the plate? I'd rather take the pitch if that's what a 2-0 hitters pitch gets us

[Bothrops]

We ain't winning tonight. If we had played anyone else we would have been ok.

[mstatefan91]

Thanks, Bulldogs: Rally Possum released back into the wild as Mississippi State decides not to play.

[CadaverDawg]

So much for the, "we're facing a lefty, we got this" theory.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum needs to just bat lefty all the time

[drunkernhelldawg]

Gotta stick with it. Still got 12 outs.

[Brando]

Weak ass grounder after weak ass grounder. Oh wait look a pop up... then another weak ass grounder.... i dont have enough beer for this shot tonight....

[Saltydog]

the ball hard. He's in total control.

[CadaverDawg]

Weak ass grounder after weak ass grounder. Oh wait look a pop up... then another weak ass grounder.... i dont have enough beer for this shot tonight....

Whiskey was a bad choice. Now I'm just even more mad than I'd normally be watching this shit burger

[msstate7]

I vote we just pull Hudson, put in Tatum, and call it a night. No point in running up Huddy's pitch count on a night when we're flat as hell.
I want Hudson to stay in. I want him to have to get outs vs a good team. He hasn't had a good outing vs a good team since om

[drunkernhelldawg]

Those umps don't know much about the empty space between kids' ears. They actually think the kids are getting it.

[mstatefan91]

LSU is hard to beat. Damn near impossible if you are gonna make error after error.

[Mjoelner34]

How cute. In only 5 innings, we've seen Kramer's mommy 6 times.

[Dawg4Life]

Between the possum BS and the mother/son relationship, this is hard to listen to.

[CadaverDawg]

0-0 pitch out after a 4 pitch walk? Cohen is being out coached tonight to go along with our players' poor play

[War Machine Dawg]

I want Hudson to stay in. I want him to have to get outs vs a good team. He hasn't had a good outing vs a good team since om

You're being ridiculous. He's thrown 120 pitches or more 3 weeks in a row. Give him a rest.

[JohnnyQuid]

What is silly about this lineup?

Rooker cleanup starting. no holland who's been pretty good last few weeks. rooker and Hump have been horrible since Missouri save auburn weekend at their hitters dream of a field. they need to hit 7-8. everybody else at least outs the ball in play.

the lineup we've been using has worked. why start ****ing with shit?

now I'm curious what u like about this lineup so far?

[Bdawg]

4 pitch lead off walk. Shit burger turning into a double

[Brando]

Whiskey was a bad choice. Now I'm just even more mad than I'd normally be watching this shit burger

You and me both...

[smootness]

Hudson hasn't pitched poorly tonight. He hasn't been his sharpest, but he's been pretty unlucky.

[Mjoelner34]

Between the possum BS and the mother/son relationship, this is hard to listen to.

All we need is that 17ing whistler and we'd have the trifecta.

[JohnnyQuid]

honest question - does anyone think rooker or hump can hit AA+ pitching?

[smootness]

Rooker cleanup starting. no holland who's been pretty good last few weeks. rooker and Hump have been horrible since Missouri save auburn weekend at their hitters dream of a field. they need to hit 7-8. everybody else at least outs the ball in play.

now I'm curious what u like about this lineup so far?

It's marginally different than what we've run out there during the 12-game win streak, and we obviously wanted to get Stovall some action before regional play.

It's just hilarious to point to the lineup construction tonight as the reason we're not hitting well. The differences are minimal, and no one is hitting well.

[JohnnyQuid]

Whiskey was a bad choice. Now I'm just even more mad than I'd normally be watching this shit burger

same boat. was meant to be celebratory. ha

[Bothrops]

No way I would have replaced Holland tonight. Not in a million years. I wouldn't have even messed with the lineup. Not one bit.

[mstatefan91]

We have zero focus tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

Hudson hasn't pitched poorly tonight. He hasn't been his sharpest, but he's been pretty unlucky.

It's 1-0 if he fields a bunt & Gridley dries his hand off. But he's about to let this one get out of hand due to....yep....an unforced error by walking somebody

[Dawg4Life]

Pull him. It's time.

[HoopsDawg]

Hudson hasn't pitched poorly tonight. He hasn't been his sharpest, but he's been pretty unlucky.

I agree. He's had 2 unearned runs. We also had an error at 2nd that wasn't called an error. And I don't know what we were doing with Gridley playing halves at SS against a slow runner. A lot of seeing eye grounders and he's had to throw about 20 pitches more than he should have.

[RougeDawg]

Where's my eye roll GIF?

Maybe you should worry less about rolling your eyes and putting them on his play. There's a thought. He's not even playing at MHSAA 6A level tonight. Maybe you have seen otherwise with him being out of position and throwing the ball all over the infield, can't turn an easy double play. Please elaborate on your eye rolling?

[drunkernhelldawg]

I think I would pull Hudson now.

[mstatefan91]

No way I would have replaced Holland tonight. Not in a million years. I wouldn't have even messed with the lineup. Not one bit.
That's what this tournament is for...

I'm not complaining about the lineup. Honestly, we don't even have to win this game. It's the fact that our players don't seem to give a shit that's bothering me.

[JohnnyQuid]

It's marginally different than what we've run out there during the 12-game win streak, and we obviously wanted to get Stovall some action before regional play.

It's just hilarious to point to the lineup construction tonight as the reason we're not hitting well. The differences are minimal, and no one is hitting well.

except 2 guys in the heart that strike out all the ****ing time. personally I think baseball becomes alot about routine and consistency- just go with what's working. our first 5 have been the same for a while now.

[CadaverDawg]

Another grounder we can't get to. We can't get to shit in our infield. Bunch of no-range sob's

[smootness]

The eye rolling is due to you thinking we can't get to Omaha because we have Gridley at SS.

[Bdawg]

Never seen so many ground balls find a damn hole. Ours are straight at them tonight

[JohnnyQuid]

No way I would have replaced Holland tonight. Not in a million years. I wouldn't have even messed with the lineup. Not one bit.

nope. but if gonna do it do it now I guess

[Bucky Dog]

Just an ugly game behind Dakota. Basically three errors and 6 seeing eye 6 hop singles. Just can't get 5 or 6 down but this is far from over.

[JohnnyQuid]

Never seen so many ground balls find a damn hole. Ours are straight at them tonight

seems to be the norm when hudson gives up some runs. Florida did same.shit he never really gets hit hard

[Apoplectic]

Give him a 100 then sit him?

[smootness]

except 2 guys in the heart that strike out all the ****ing time. personally I think baseball becomes alot about routine and consistency- just go with what's working. our first 5 have been the same for a while now.

They're also 2 guys who have hammered LH pitching all year.

[mstatefan91]

It's over if they get a base hit here.. 100% srs

[mstatefan91]

It's over.

[CadaverDawg]

Where are our infielders playing?? Nobody in the screen?

[wasabaka]

Give him a 100 then sit him?

Hell, he is at 84 now with the bases loaded, AND with no one throwing in the pen. Need to get someone up and throwing like 3 batters ago.

[mstatefan91]

Grid and Stovall.. this game is on the two of you and our shitty hitting. Thanks. Goodnight.

[wasabaka]

This is hard to watch.

[Apoplectic]

Hell, he is at 84 now with the bases loaded, AND with no one throwing in the pen. Need to get someone up and throwing like 3 batters ago.

True - maybe he finishes the inning?

[HoopsDawg]

Hell, he is at 84 now with the bases loaded, AND with no one throwing in the pen. Need to get someone up and throwing like 3 batters ago.

Good time to get Small some work. Save D. Brown and others for the rest of this tournament.

[JohnnyQuid]

They're also 2 guys who have hammered LH pitching all year.

that they have - just inconsistant and k too much. id take lowe vs a lefty before either of them. like I'm not mad really - we can afford to **** around in this tourny. I just don't wanna see shit like this later on

[wasabaka]

Where are our infielders playing?? Nobody in the screen?

Our infielders have been shading lefties and righties to pull all night, and it has led to every one of these weak grounders finding a hole. That's on Cohen. I like the man, but he is getting out-coached tonight.

ETA: or maybe he is out-coaching himself

[drunkernhelldawg]

It ain't all about Hudson. Leaving 5 on the bases in the first two innings hurting. We've done it a lot on our streak, but we've made up for it. But tonight like I said, we're playing an inspired team. Still got a chance, but fading away too.

[Bucky Dog]

Still a long way to go. I would sit Dakota now and ice him up.

[JohnnyQuid]

It ain't all about Hudson. Leaving 5 on the bases in the first two innings hurting. We've done it a lot on our streak, but we've made up for it. But tonight like I said, we're playing an inspired team. Still got a chance, but fading away too.

yup not putting runs up when we had poche reeling early hurt. we don't seem very focused to me and lsu is prolly inspired playing for a national seed bid

[Bucky Dog]

It may be a different game if we could have pushed a few across in the first.

[Bass Chaser]

Is Hudson tipping his pitches out of the stretch?

[War Machine Dawg]

https://storage.googleapis.com/vidsums/eb568d3e-1a54-4088-8a07-d3086a458072_text.gif

[RougeDawg]

Another grounder we can't get to. We can't get to shit in our infield. Bunch of no-range sob's

Better watch out pointing out the obvious tonight. Smootness might get light headed rolling his eyes.

[smootness]

Is Hudson tipping his pitches out of the stretch?

No, that's a dumb theory by the announcers. He's striking out plenty, and nobody's hitting the ball hard for them.

If this is what they do when they know what's coming, that's a bad sign for their offense.

[Bdawg]

How are we not hitting his fastball? 85-89 and looks pretty damn straight on tv.

[JohnnyQuid]

we might not win but it's nice to have an offense where u don't feel out of the game if ur down 2 or more.

we're making poche look real good ri gh t now though

[Brando]

Im ok with us not winning this tourney. I wish we would, but I wont loose sleep over it. What I will loose sleep over is stupid meddling by Cohen. We won 12 in a row and 17 of 19 and you want to mess with the damn line up because, because, well hell i dont know why. Thats the shit that make people mad. We are SEC champions a d are good enough to be tourney champs and may very well still be. But someone has got to keep Cohen out of the ****in way! When he should be coaching, he wont coach. He should be all in the guys asses about this piss poor performance.

[smootness]

Better watch out pointing out the obvious tonight. Smootness might get light headed rolling his eyes.

You said we can't get to Omaha with Gridley. Yes, that sure is 'pointing out the obvious' and not a baseless opinion**

[War Machine Dawg]

And Tatum on the bump....we can officially start thinking about tomorrow. I just want to know why the **** we let Huddy throw 92 pitches before doing this.

[fmbdawg17]

Tatum now pitching. When was the last time this guy saw game time?

[CJDAWG85]

Well we just conceded the game. Moonshot is in.

[drunkernhelldawg]

I don't know about questioning the lineup. We've had our chances. Good fielding and it'd only be 2 runs up. We just seem to be taking a night off as far as intensity goes. It happens a lot. Was hoping to not see it but not surprised.

[smootness]

And Tatum on the bump....we can officially start thinking about tomorrow. I just want to know why the **** we let Huddy throw 92 pitches before doing this.

Let him get his normal work in. Why is that a bad thing?

[wasabaka]

Vance Tatum? Hahahahahahaha

We've conceded this one.

[BulldogBear]

I dozed off after eating corndogs. WT17?

[BulldogBear]

Wake up to Tatum pitching... maybe I'm still asleep.

[shoeless joe]

And Tatum on the bump....we can officially start thinking about tomorrow. I just want to know why the **** we let Huddy throw 92 pitches before doing this.

92 is nowhere near a lot of pitches this time of year when he's a week plus from throwing again.

[wasabaka]

Finally, good positioning by the middle infield. DP ends the 6th.

[drunkernhelldawg]

we might not win but it's nice to have an offense where u don't feel out of the game if ur down 2 or more.

we're making poche look real good ri gh t now though

It's something how many give up and it's only the seventh inning.

[drunkernhelldawg]

wow. i'll take it.

[BulldogBear]

Dang we needed that. Don't bunt John.

[wasabaka]

It's something how many give up and it's only the seventh inning.

LSU was down 4-0 to Tennessee after the 6th on Tuesday and came back to win. So, it is possible. I'm a pretty positive guy, but I'm not seeing anything to give me much hope.

Maybe that error the LSU RF just made to put Humphreys on base is the spark we need.

[HSVDawg]

Let him get his normal work in. Why is that a bad thing?

And thats not even his normal work compared to last couple of outings. He's been going 110+ on the reg lately.

[BulldogBear]

Woof! Keep it going!

[sandwolf]

There we go Robson!

[wasabaka]

Robson triple scores Humphreys. 4-1, 0 outs.

[BulldogBear]

Put a possum in the oven Mrs. BulldogBear. I'm gettin' a second wind and I'll need a snack!

[smootness]

Nice, Robson! Alright, should be able to get to at least 4-2 here. Come on, bottom of the order.

[JohnnyQuid]

I'll take a rally please. thanks

[drunkernhelldawg]

Next batter is key. Gotta get on base.

[CadaverDawg]

Our infielders 100% do not make that play

[smootness]

Ground out scores the run. 4-2.

[wasabaka]

Groundout by Gridley scores Robson. 4-2, 1 out.

[CadaverDawg]

What are you swinging at Stovall? Damn that was ball 4

[drunkernhelldawg]

hell yeah

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy, Stovall. Way to rip

[BulldogBear]

Stovall with a hit! Possom's smellin' good.

[wasabaka]

Rally Bulldog? Really, color guy? Plz stahp

[smootness]

Dang it, that was ball 4, Stovall.

ETA: I am apparently behind haha.

[War Machine Dawg]

Stovall hit!

[CadaverDawg]

Bring in the righty so Mangum can turn around

[wasabaka]

Alright, alright, alright!

[smootness]

Awful call to make it 0-2. Ump allowed an awful frame job to fool him.

[smootness]

Fielder's choice, 2 out, Mangum on 1st. Come on, Kruger!

[BulldogBear]

Dang LSU got lucky on that one

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum is not the same guy from the right side

[BulldogBear]

C'mon Jack ol' boy

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Jack, why not crush that??

[smootness]

Wow, that was one to hammer, Kruger.

But he gets a hit anyway! 1st and 3rd, 2 outs. Come on, Collins!

[BulldogBear]

Runners on the corners!

[CadaverDawg]

Heck yea, oppo Kruger!

Come on, Gavin

[DancingRabbit]

[wasabaka]

Come on, Gavin.

[CadaverDawg]

Boy a gapper here would be big. Wonder if we have anybody up in the pen?

[wasabaka]

Poche done. Bugg coming to the bump.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Mangum is not the same guy from the right side

I think it's just he's off tonight. Looks to me like one of the main reasons we're struggling.

[CadaverDawg]

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vof69k6XRpk/Vr5yyQm-TqI/AAAAAAAAL-U/Uj1YsEquKpY/s320/They%2BPull%2BMe%2BBack%2BIn.jpg

Haha, the story of an MSU fan

[wasabaka]

Boy a gapper here would be big. Wonder if we have anybody up in the pen?

I sure hope so. Tatum did well last inning, but I don't want to see him come back out for the bottom of the 7th now that we have cut into the lead.

[CadaverDawg]

How big are those missed opportunities and errors early?

[CadaverDawg]

I sure hope so. Tatum did well last inning, but I don't want to see him come back out for the bottom of the 7th now that we have cut into the lead.

I'm with you

[BulldogBear]

Poche done. Bugg coming to the bump.

Squash this Bugg Gavin!!!

[Brando]

How big are those missed opportunities and errors early?

HUGE!!

[smootness]

Dang it, Collins. You could see that coming.

[sandwolf]

Damn

[CadaverDawg]

Shit

[BulldogBear]

Crap, what was that?

[CadaverDawg]

Everybody in the damn stadium knew that was going to be off speed out of the zone. Come on, Gus

[Dawg4Life]

Dang it, Collins. You could see that coming.

Let's a 91 mph fastball on the inner half go by on the first pitch then swings at that crap. That probably ended our chances.

[wasabaka]

Great inning, though. We are back in this game.

[JohnnyQuid]

Not a great at bat there. oh well! we're back in it

[CadaverDawg]

Let's a 91 mph fastball on the inner half go by on the first pitch then swings at that crap. That probably ended our chances.

Yep. We do that a lot...take the fastballs down the middle, swing at shit.

[sandwolf]

Dear goodness...

[wasabaka]

Why Tatum again?

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief

[drunkernhelldawg]

ouch

[BulldogBear]

HFS are you serious???

[wasabaka]

You have got to be kidding me!

[CadaverDawg]

We make so many unforced mistakes when we lose. You can see it early in a game whether we are going to beat ourselves or not. You can't do shit like this against good teams

[shoeless joe]

That's on mangum. He was half assing it thinking Stovall had it then went into oh shit more and over ran it with the ball coming back toward the field of play. He's gotta take over rite there and call it from the beginning.

[CadaverDawg]

Finally get back in it, and that E will cost us a run. Watch

[CadaverDawg]

There's the Tatum we're used to

[CadaverDawg]

Why am I still watching this? Tatum is in, we are dropping fly balls, playing a lucky assed team....why?

[CadaverDawg]

We mess up our pitchers' rhythm more than any coaching staff in the country....with throws over, visits, pitching changes, etc.

This is little league quality shit right here.

[HoopsDawg]

Why am I still watching this? Tatum is in, we are dropping fly balls, playing a lucky assed team....why?

And we are back to over coaching/meddling.

[smootness]

I like this move here. The batter is on edge. Should have a good chance at a swinging miss.

[Dawg61]

Pitching change at 0-2?! Wtf?

[CadaverDawg]

And we are back to over coaching/meddling.

Yep. I can't stand this overthinking, over coaching, meddling bullshit.

[wasabaka]

Pitching change with an 0-2 count. Brown coming in. 1 out, runners at 1st and 2nd.

[Bucky Dog]

Hahahahahahaha. He takes Tatum out on an 0-2 count and brings in Brown. Even the announcers were at a loss for words on that pitching change.

[shoeless joe]

Need a K and advantage pitcher by making that move. Not saying I'd do it but it ain't as absurd strategically as some seem to think.

[CadaverDawg]

I like this move here. The batter is on edge. Should have a good chance at a swinging miss.

But it makes an already unconfident Tatum think that they don't have confidence in him to put a guy away. I don't like it regardless of outcome for that reason

[smootness]

But it makes an already unconfident Tatum think that they don't have confidence in him to put a guy away. I don't like it regardless of outcome for that reason

Eh, I don't expect to see Tatum in games in the NCAA Tourney anyway.

[Dawg61]

Need a K and advantage pitcher by making that move. Not saying I'd do it but it ain't as absurd strategically as some seem to think.

It's 100% dumb

[wasabaka]

But it makes an already unconfident Tatum think that they don't have confidence in him to put a guy away. I don't like it regardless of outcome for that reason

Tatum's confidence doesn't matter. He isn't going to be a piece of a deep tourney run. He was only in the game because it was looking like a lost cause at that point.

[shoeless joe]

But it makes an already unconfident Tatum think that they don't have confidence in him to put a guy away. I don't like it regardless of outcome for that reason

Eh...I disagree. This outing was a confidence boost. He pitched well. Shoulda been 2 out none on and he prolly gets out of inning.

[smootness]

Boom, got him.

[CadaverDawg]

Welp. It worked...I guess. Tatum mighta gotten em too

[shoeless joe]

It's 100% dumb

You're wrong

[wasabaka]

#TheMeddler™

[smootness]

I've always liked Cohen's pitching changes on 2-strike counts. It seems to just about always work out well.

[msstate7]

Eh, I don't expect to see Tatum in games in the NCAA Tourney anyway.

Then why even use him?

[smootness]

Then why even use him?

Because the game was starting to get out of hand, and we may be trying to save better RPs for later in the tourney.

Also, he figured putting Tatum in would really let his team know they were pissing the game away**

[wasabaka]

Papierski is like 0-10 in the SEC Tourney. We have to get him out here.

[CadaverDawg]

Y'all were saying?

[smootness]

Dang it. Welp, that may do it. Oh well.

[JohnnyQuid]

welp.

[wasabaka]

This x1000

[Big4Dawg]

Man I hate all these LSU players

[klong-dog]

What a shitty ass pitch

[Bucky Dog]

The Meddler is soooooooooo smart. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck DBrown! A two out two strike hit!

[smootness]

Y'all were saying?

I was saying there was a good chance of a swinging miss in the previous AB. And we got it.

Allowing Brown to pitch to a righty is a different matter.

[RougeDawg]

Finally get back in it, and that E will cost us 2 runs. Watch

Fixed it for ya.

[shoeless joe]

Pitch was up. Gotta be able to execute.

[Dawg4Life]

Papierski is like 0-10 in the SEC Tourney. We have to get him out here.

Nope. A hanger and now I get to watch the steroid twins scream...always love that.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Papierski is like 0-10 in the SEC Tourney. We have to get him out here.

And he pulls out the dagger.

[HoopsDawg]

1-2 hanger. Awful pitch. Ballgame.

[CadaverDawg]

Great pitch, Brown. Good grief. We throw more meatballs ahead in the count than any team in the country

[wasabaka]

Shit. That was his first hit of the tourney and he is a .200 hitter. It's just not our game tonight.

[Bucky Dog]

Wild pitch and a two strike 2 run single on a gutter by DB. That's bad!

[JohnnyQuid]

saw a stat we adjusted the top of the order for the first time all month. top 7 guys are 2-19 tonight. Prolly just coincidence

[CadaverDawg]

Alright guys, I'm going to bed. I'll watch the rest as I fall asleep. Talk to you boys tomorrow.

[smootness]

saw a stat we adjusted the top of the order for the first time all month. top 7 guys are 2-19 tonight. Prolly just coincidence

Yes, it probably is.

[RougeDawg]

Meddler pulls a guy getting outs for this bullshit. Balls in the dirt and then hanging urine balls. Great move. We better start scoring 7+ a game if we have any hope of Omaha. The meddler can't help himself come postseason. Prepare yourselves now so you aren't pissed off and disappointed.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Cohen throws the clipboard....hits Sexton in the eye. Tomorrow's starter TBD

[HoopsDawg]

saw a stat we adjusted the top of the order for the first time all month. top 7 guys are 2-19 tonight. Prolly just coincidence

Lol, Cohen just can't help himself. Lowe would have been up last inning against a righty.

And 4 unearned runs. Not looking like the champs tonight.

[EdDawg]

A little OT but can we sell Louisiana back to France?

I think it might be better for everyone.

[wasabaka]

Cohen throws the clipboard....hits Sexton in the eye. Tomorrow's starter TBD

I giggled

[drunkernhelldawg]

Hate to say it, but this is on our best player. Hate to be too critical as many games as these guys play for us, but it was mailed in tonight.

[Dawg4Life]

I'll ask a loaded question: When is the last time we played a decent team?

April 22-24 - LSU

[gravedigger]

Throwing coach.

Pitching, notsomuch

Big, big difference.

He's brought out the potential of his kids while showing he doesnt know much about games yet.

I have hope, but im pumping the brakes on believing hes the next coming.

[JohnnyQuid]

Meddler pulls a guy getting outs for this bullshit. Balls in the dirt and then hanging urine balls. Great move. We better start scoring 7+ a game if we have any hope of Omaha. The meddler can't help himself come postseason. Prepare yourselves now so you aren't pissed off and disappointed.

We're averaging around 7 this year so should be ok.

I'm annoyed by a couple things tonight but I'm not gonna get too bothered - I'll give him this game to get some meddling in he was prolly having DTs and shit from lack of ****ing with shit. ha

sky iant falling cos of 1 game. johns a damn good coach and this team is great. we'll be fine

Agreed, but it does suck to end a 12 game winning streak with an egg like this.

Lol, I'm with u.

[JohnnyQuid]

Lol, Cohen just can't help himself. Lowe would have been up last inning against a righty.

And 4 unearned runs. Not looking like the champs tonight.

the unearned runs are really the story. just lack of focus we didn't seem really into this game. sometimes need a kick in the ass to get going again. hope this is it

[It_Could_Happen]

I know this game meant nothing to us so I'm not mad.. Just frustrated but here are a couple of thoughts I've had watching this.

1. Hudson is elite against bad teams and average against good teams. Go look at starts against FLA, LSU, A&M

2. We weren't focused at all tonight which is frustrating. No excuse for the errors.

3. Humphreys has got to get out of the slump if we are going to make a fun. He has not been himself lately.

4. Hopefully we got a dose of reality tonight. Idk if we will come back or not, but if we don't we better come out focused tomorrow, because it won't get any easier, and if you make errors against Florida, it won't be 6-2 it will be 16-2.

Lastly I forgot, no reason to change the lineup tonight. If you want to play Stovall that's fine, but don't screw with the order.

As always Hail State and see you boys tomorrow.

[mstatefan91]

It's one game. Calm yourself down

[mstatefan91]

I haven't shaved since we started this run. My beard is nervous..

[Dawg4Life]

April 22-24 - LSU
April 26 - OM

That's what I thought too. We played such good competition to begin with and the last month we've had the luxury to play mediocre baseball, and still win. From here on out (with the exception of maybe the first game of the regional) we will be back to facing studs. I hope this isn't an idea of what we are going to see. Before I get ridiculed, I think we are very good and have faith. I just think we need to get back to being sharp against good competition.

I didn't like sitting holland. Holland has played really well lately

[Bothrops]

I feel like we'll be coming home after tomorrow's game. Hopefully we can find our magic again for the Regionals. Playing LSU is the worst thing that could have happened to us.

[mstatefan91]

I didn't like sitting holland. Holland has played really well lately


I don't mind it. He was rusty on the diamond. We may need him moving forward. This is a throw away game. It will still hurt if we don't won (my beard..)

[mstatefan91]

Grid has been awful in the field tonight. He needs to get his head right.

[Dawg4Life]

Grid has been awful in the field tonight. He needs to get his head right.

I wish we could get LA some reps. Not saying he should start or whatever, but reps are needed badly.

[smootness]

Nothing like your first loss in 13 games to showcase the fact that in reality, everything sucks.

[It_Could_Happen]

I didn't like sitting holland. Holland has played really well lately

Those two are interchangeable to me. I don't really care which one plays. The thing that beat us tonight was Hudson getting hit hard and errors. You don't make 3 errors and beat any team with a pulse.

[msstate7]

I wish we could get LA some reps. Not saying he should start or whatever, but reps are needed badly.

I'm not sure what the deal is with Luke, but I really wish he was SS when Hudson pitches. Hudson gives up a lot of groundball singles that I'm and I'm sure Luke could get to more than Gridley.

[mstatefan91]

I think the biggest thing tonight is that Cohen miscalculated. We should have been aggressive at the plate to start with and then laid off. Instead, we laid off and then we played right into LSU's game plan. It was a miscalculation.

The errors certainly didn't help.

[JohnnyQuid]

I think it's time to transfer the name of black hole to rooker or hump. I'm good with either atm. ha

[gravedigger]

It's one game. Calm yourself down

No. The incessant fakes with a runner on third and nobody warming up effectively took our own pitcher out of his pitching rythm. I get doing that with q lead. Makes perfect sense.

Again he gets the kids to throw well. But lsu knew hiw to approach us tonight and until this point in the 8th is being mocked and innefective.

[Dawg4Life]

I'm not sure either and I agree with you. I watched them take infield last weekend and LA looked great. I suppose at this point, due to the hand, he is emergency only. Even with that though, he needs some reps.

[RougeDawg]

I'm not sure what the deal is with Luke, but I really wish he was SS when Hudson pitches. Hudson gives up a lot of groundball singles that I'm and I'm sure Luke could get to more than Gridley.

Most human beings with two good legs could get to more than Gridley, and even some single amputees. On top of that he almost sailed one into the front row, costing us two runs and momentum.

[mstatefan91]

Also, changing the lineup didn't help. I don't know how much it hurt, but it certainly didn't have the effect that Cohen thought it would.

[mstatefan91]

Rook can be black hole. Hump is Slumpy.

[HoopsDawg]

Announcers giving Cohen a hard time with the pick offs and I agree 100%.

You know, ill calm down somewhere else.

Thanks.

season in totality proves this wrong regardless if couple douchebags wanna mock it - these 2 morons were stunned when we brought in a new guy 0-2. hell we bring in guys 2-0. they obviously don't know much about how we've done things the past 5 years. I think most of our guys are comfortable with it.

[Bothrops]

I will continue to expect Lsu to dominate us as long as they have Mainieri and we have Cohen. It's just the way it is.

[Schultzy]

I will continue to expect Lsu to dominate us as long as they have Mainieri and we have Cohen. It's just the way it is.

Except for us beating them two of three at their place this year. It's all about the regionals, get over yourselves.

[MarketingBully]

Also, changing the lineup didn't help. I don't know how much it hurt, but it certainly didn't have the effect that Cohen thought it would.

This says it all. Don't **** with the lineup Cohen!!!

Cohen adjusted the top of the order tonight for the first time since in May. Top 7 hitters are 2 for 19.

[MarketingBully]

Baseball is a superstitious sport? That's what we're going with as to why this lineup is silly?

We struggled at the plate and moved the lineup all the way around. The only spots we kept the same were 1,2, and 8. It sucked. Experiment hopefully over. Of course, later today we face a lefty again. Hopefully this won't be the lineup we see.

Hopefully, we sit Rooker. He is on a heck of a slump and we put him in the cleanup spot. Lowe had played all year at the three spot and you move him to the five hole. You basically had a completely new lineup that you threw out there 57 games into the season. That is just plain dumb.

[the59dawg]

I'd like to see Mangum hit lefty against lefty pitchers. He can't hit a dime against them batting righty. He is unstoppable hitting left side.

pointed out last night by the announcers. That Dak-throws everything hard. Even his cutter and breaking balls are hard. He might need to work on changing speeds.

[Duckdog]

I was disgusted last night. Just woke up hungover and still disgusted. We played like pile of Labrador shit last night

[tcdog70]

No way I would have replaced Holland tonight. Not in a million years. I wouldn't have even messed with the lineup. Not one bit.

Dang-Stovall had two hits. I think it is a great idea to go platoon for lefty-righty matchups.

[djaymsu5]

I'm not sure what the deal is with Luke, but I really wish he was SS when Hudson pitches. Hudson gives up a lot of groundball singles that I'm and I'm sure Luke could get to more than Gridley.

Like they said last night with one of the brothers for LSU hitting Gridley was playing shallow. Why?? If LA could consistently hit the ball Gridley's ass would be on the bench. And what is it about our infielders that don't dive for the damn ball? I've seen so many they have been right there on that they more than likely could have made a play or even saved a run diving for the ball keeping it on the infield.

Oh I agree. Gridley is a decent SS but we have recruited too well to be starting just a decent SS. The SS should be the best player you have on the infield IMO shit if we had Frasier last night we wouldn't have lost the game. Half of LSU's hits went between the 3rd base SS side.

[MarketingBully]

And I will also say that if you are going to start Collins at 3rd, you can't have Gridley at SS. The range on that side is just horrendous.

100% agree. I really wish something would click with LA and he would just take over the SS position. I know he's not 100% right now but hell I think LA less than 100% would be better than Gridley at 100%.

It's nowhere close to as important as you're making it out to be.

Lowe was used to hitting 3rd but since 4 batters had already hit before him by his 1st AB, he was completely screwed up as to how to hit the ball**
