Has the game started yet? No epsn feed nor no radio feed??

[CadaverDawg]

Has the game started yet? No epsn feed nor no radio feed??

No. 1:20 CT start

[TNDawg35]

No. 1:20 CT start

Oh ok. Thanks dude.

[CadaverDawg]

Awful start again for Cyr. Bases loaded no outs for Marist

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

JEEZUZ What a damn start!!

[CadaverDawg]

1-0 Marist

1 out

[CadaverDawg]

2-0

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum hoses a guy at the plate to end inning.

2-0

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Nice throw by Mangum to get out of the inning !!

[CadaverDawg]

Popping everything up

[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady cant hit a lick

2-0 after 2

[CadaverDawg]

I feel good about Pilk, Plumlee, and getting there on Ashcraft. But I'm not comfortable with Cyr yet. Maybe let Self start game 3 vs Oregon? Pilk, Plumlee, Self

[CadaverDawg]

They're about to score more. May lose this game

[CadaverDawg]

Why are we warming Billingsley up? Bring in Self, we don't have a midweek game

[CadaverDawg]

3-0 Marist, men on the corners for them with no outs. This may get ugly

[CadaverDawg]

Looks like I'm talking to myself, but Cyr out and Billingsley in. I hate this move. Gotta stop the bleeding, this isn't a time to just get someone innings.

[CadaverDawg]

And promptly a single off Billingsley. So dumb. We're throwing this game away.

4-0

[CadaverDawg]

5-0

[CadaverDawg]

What a shit show

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Down 5-0 this year is going to be one helluva roller coaster ride..

[CadaverDawg]

Bringing Billingsley in at that point was as head scratching as Elih playing 2B the other day.

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

This really is Pathetic!!

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah I turned it off when we brought in Billingsly

[HoopsDawg]

Might be time to get macnamee some more ABs.

[CadaverDawg]

5-1

Mangum scores on shallow fly tag up

Chip away

[CadaverDawg]

Rooker started hot this weekend, but I think he went 0fer in the last game and he's now 0-2 today.

5-1 after 3

[CadaverDawg]

Billingsley walks the leadoff in the 4th. Get his ass out of there. Gotta keep it at 5

[CadaverDawg]

Now a wild pitch

[CadaverDawg]

Another walk. 2 on 0 outs

Get his ass out. I knew this was a poor decision

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Back to back walks AWESOME!!!!

[Activated Alpha]

Why haven't we've seen Rigby all weekend?

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Blowing bubbles and not giving a 17 on the way back to the dugout way to go Billingsley!!

[CadaverDawg]

Andrew Mahoney in

[CadaverDawg]

Why haven't we've seen Rigby all weekend?

I don't know! Or Self

[CadaverDawg]

I don't dislike Billingsley, he just only has 1 pitch, so he's not hard to hit unless his curve is fantastic that day...which is rare

[CadaverDawg]

Mahoney gives up a single. Bases juiced no outs. This is shit. Where are Rigby and Self?

[CadaverDawg]

Double scores 2

7-1

Thanks Andy & Gary. This one is on yall

[CadaverDawg]

8-1

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Bad drop by Blaylock. Have to help your pitcher out.

[CadaverDawg]

Walk

Glad we're using this as a pitching practice. Does AC know this counts on our record? And kills our rpi?

[CadaverDawg]

Bad drop by Blaylock. Have to help your pitcher out.

I disagree, woulda been one hell of a catch

[maroonmania]

Held it to 8-1, great job Dawgs!**

[CadaverDawg]

8-1 after 3.5 innings

Gonna take a lot to get back in this one. And if these are the pitchers we're sticking with, it's already over bc they'll stretch the lead

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

It would have been a nice catch but nothing to add to a highlight reel.

[maroonmania]

I disagree, woulda been one hell of a catch

Would have been a tough catch no doubt but he got his glove fully to the ball. Its not like it tipped off the edge. Just one of those where we just can't make the tough play in a key situation.

[CadaverDawg]

No but running and about to fall as you snowcone one, it is hard to hold on to.

To be honest, this MSU team has no business play 4 game weekends. This is the thinnest pitching staff we've had since when Cohen first arrived. Just not enough arms to be solid for 4 games in 3 days.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Hm...maybe I did not see it correctly. It looked like it hit in the glove pretty solidly there and he just dropped it.

[CadaverDawg]

Yea, I've had that happen multiple times in my baseball days though...you're hauling ass fully extended, snowcone it, and your next hard step jars it loose. It's tougher play than it looked, but not worth arguing y'all over. That play has nothing to do with our deficit imo. Walks and having the wrong pitchers out there do

[CadaverDawg]

True. Especially if you aren't going to even throw 2 of your top 4 arms. We're trying to win 4 with a depleted team and then we tie a hand behind our back to make it even tougher

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

I think pitching might be just a little problematic this year...

[CadaverDawg]

Hm...maybe I did not see it correctly. It looked like it hit in the glove pretty solidly there and he just dropped it.

I may have seen it wrong too. Wish he'd have caught it and bailed out this shitty pitching effort.

Not that our bats are helping either

We're playing Marist. If we don't have enough arms to compete with Marist in a 4th game of a weekend, we should just forfeit the year.

True.

Are Self and Rigby hurt?

[CadaverDawg]

Texas Tech swept Cal at Cal this weekend. Think Bart said it was a 4 game series

[msstate7]

True.

Are Self and Rigby hurt?

Trying to figure out Can is something I've given up on

[msstate7]

Texas Tech swept Cal at Cal this weekend. Think Bart said it was a 4 game series

I bet they're kicking themselves for losing to us

[MarketingBully]

To be fair, this schedule was made before the 4-5 Tommy Johns decimated our staff.

[Activated Alpha]

Their RPI is 252...this is just embarrassing

[CadaverDawg]

I bet they're kicking themselves for losing to us

Yep. Rpi killer, ha

[msstate7]

Nice DP

[CadaverDawg]

To be fair, this schedule was made before the 4-5 Tommy Johns decimated our staff.

True, It's still Marist though.

[msstate7]

Their RPI is 252...this is just embarrassing

What's morehead's?

[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady is as close to an automatic out as I've seen at this level of baseball.

[CadaverDawg]

What's morehead's?

723

[msstate7]

I don't mind having a catcher that can't hit if he's elite defensively and handling pitchers. Lovelady isn't elite in that regard. He's as automatic of an out as there is. We can't play him

[Activated Alpha]

What's morehead's?

says it's 29, but that doesn't feel right

[msstate7]

723

Win over us must have brought it up

[CadaverDawg]

says it's 29, but that doesn't feel right

Too early for rpi to be anywhere near accurate yet. It's 29 bc they won At Mississippi State

[CadaverDawg]

I don't mind having a catcher that can't hit if he's elite defensively and handling pitchers. Lovelady isn't elite in that regard. He's as automatic of an out as there is. We can't play him

Agree. Would love to have a Mitch Slaughter right now

[msstate7]

Come on mangum... we really need to come back and win

[CadaverDawg]

8-2

Error. Now 1st & 3rd for Gridley. 1 out

[msstate7]

Watching that DP attempt, made me wanna laugh. Then I remembered they're killing us

Come on gridley

[maroonmania]

I'm still pissed about the HBP that was called back for no good reason. That cost us a run and an out.

[msstate7]

I'm still pissed about the HBP that was called back for no good reason. That cost us a run and an out.

Bad call for sure

[msstate7]

Come on rooker... we don't have to have a HR. Be patient

[Activated Alpha]

And another bases loaded situation where we can't get any runs out of it

[maroonmania]

Bad call for sure

Ended up being HUGE. We left the bases loaded in an inning where we should have had the additional runner with another out to play with.

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

And another bases loaded situation where we can't get any runs out of it

Yep kind of been the norm so far this year..

[maroonmania]

Pitiful. Can't even make a simple throw by the 2nd baseman to first.

[TNDawg35]

I dont know what the crap is wtong with our staff, but this pitiful. Last I heard we had 7 walks... SEVEN!!

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Here we go again mounting a lil come back!! Cmon Dawgs!

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Maybe Lovelady should just bunt everytime base hit now bases loaded bottom of the 7th. 1out!

[Cloak]

Clutch hitting opportunity right here. Come on Dawgs

[CadaverDawg]

Bases loaded no outs and get 1 run. Pitiful

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

Bases loaded and we manage only one dam run top of the 8th 9-8 Marist.

[maroonmania]

Bases loaded no outs and get 1 run. Pitiful

Umpire has been a killer for us. That inning he turned what should have been a 2-0 count to 1-1 on LA with a strike call at the ankles. After that LA started going after the low pitches and struck out.

[msstate7]

We got this

[mparkerfd20]

We ain't got shit. Haven't been able to figure out this junk ball lefty.

[msstate7]

9th inning...

Poole
Gordon
Lovelady

Gotta think about pinch hitting for Gordon and lovelady

[Activated Alpha]

I really wish to know what our percentage is based on when we have bases loaded. We are absolutely pathetic when we have them loaded

[msstate7]

Letting Gordon bat vs lefty. Can is a clown

[TNDawg35]

I dont know how many times I have seen us have the bases loaded and dont get a run or maybe squeeze 1 out... absolutely terrible...

[msstate7]

Gordon vs lefty in 9th.
Saving Barlow and self till it's out of hand

I'm not sold on our new coach's decision making

[MarketingBully]

RPI killer there. Not a good loss at all.

[VandelayIndustries]

Letting Gordon bat vs lefty. Can is a clown

Good to see you have already given up on the coach

[maroonmania]

Well if makes anyone feel better after this debacle, the women's basketball team is down 18 to TN at home with the SEC championship on the line. Worst week of MSU athletics I can ever remember.

[msstate7]

Good to see you have already given up on the coach

Not giving up. I do think it was a terrible decision.

[Saltydog]

a 25-30 win team.

[msstate7]

Skelton or marrero have to catch. Lovelady brings nothing. 2 more pass balls today and he's a career .533 ops and that includes juco

[Cloak]

a 25-30 win team.

Ehhh too early to say that. Still have to work the kinks out

[Joe Schmedlap]

Not giving up. I do think it was a terrible decision.

Time will tell if it was a terrible decision or not, but it was definitely a risky decision. I was shocked that a program of State's stature couldn't hire a respected, experienced head coach from somewhere. I had no idea our job was an entry level position for a relatively inexperienced assistant. Then again, we may look back in a couple of years and marvel at the IB's wisdom. I hope that is the case anyway.

Terrible decision to let Gordon hit, not hire Can haha

I actually kinda like the guy, but some of his moves kill me
