[ScoobaDawg]

and Rooker K's

[CadaverDawg]

Shit K

[Noxdog]

damn.

[maroonmania]

Rooker K's. Had his fat pitch on 0-1 and fouled it straight back.

[Activated Alpha]

Figured he would K

[ScoobaDawg]

long fly out but we dont advance..so 2 outs runners on 1st and 2nd

[CadaverDawg]

Not gonna score. ****ing pathetic

[Noxdog]

up to cody.

[maroonmania]

Too bad we didn't bunt Rooker. That fly ball would have scored one.

[Activated Alpha]

Cody Brown up, probably going to strike out

[msstate7]

We are the most anti-clutch team ever

[Noxdog]

dang

[ScoobaDawg]

DAMNIT. another K. to the btm 10th 5-5

[CadaverDawg]

K on a curve in the dirt! We make NO adjustments. We don't deserve to win

[maroonmania]

Outhitting Oregon 14-8 but the difference is we've aided their 8 hits with walks, HBP and errors.

[msstate7]

18 Ks Friday
9 Ks Saturday
11 Ks today

[CadaverDawg]

This is the first game someone could say, "we already won if Cohen is coach", bc he woulda bunted some of these guys over and manufactured runs. Not saying it would be better long term, but it would have won today.

AC still learning, and we have to have guys step up and make some adjustments from at bat to at bat.

Stillcould win today. Just making it way harder than it should be

[msstate7]

Atta boy, price

[CadaverDawg]

18 Ks Friday
9 Ks Saturday
11 Ks today

Ouch. And Oregon pitching has been no bueno this year coming into this series

[CadaverDawg]

Good inning, Price!

Let's win this damn game Dawgs

[msstate7]

Ouch. And Oregon pitching has been no bueno this year coming into this series

We've faced P5 teams 5 times this year and only K'd less than 10 one time... 9 yesterday. We have to start making contact

[msstate7]

Radio says strike 3 was ridiculous

[CadaverDawg]

That is bull shit

Not even close

[Noxdog]

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

BULL F'n Shit!!!

[Noxdog]

[Noxdog]

[CadaverDawg]

Stovall singles

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Should be 2 on 1 out. F'n Ump

[maroonmania]

We have been so screwed over by officials in basketball and now baseball lately that I just feel numb to it. Like battered wife syndrome.

[Activated Alpha]

How many strikeouts sis we have in our first 10 games last year compared to this year? Seems like we are having a tough time protecting the plate

[CadaverDawg]

We have been so screwed over by officials in basketball and now baseball lately that I just feel numb to it. Like battered wife syndrome.

Yep I'm with you

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum pop out

[msstate7]

How many strikeouts sis we have in our first 10 games last year compared to this year? Seems like we are having a tough time protecting the plate

We struck out 378 times total last year. We've struck out 103 so far this year.

[maroonmania]

I'm still just sick about the way we gave up a run in the 8th.

[CadaverDawg]

Ump tightening the zone on us after widening it for them

[CadaverDawg]

Another lead off walk. Gonna come back to bite us soon.

[CadaverDawg]

15 hits and just 5 runs for us. Sickening

5 runs on 8 hits for them

[CadaverDawg]

Sac bunt

[CadaverDawg]

They're beating us playing Cohen ball

[msstate7]

15 hits and just 5 runs for us. Sickening

5 runs on 8 hits for them

It's the strike outs... we don't give ourselves a shot in scoring opportunities

[CadaverDawg]

It's the strike outs... we don't give ourselves a shot in scoring opportunities

Yep, and nobody makes errors on K's.

[msstate7]

We lose

[CadaverDawg]

Ballgame

**** us

Another crappy MSU day all around. Why was i born a dawg

[Activated Alpha]

We struck out 378 times total last year. We've struck out 103 so far this year.

That's an awful amount of strikeouts. Wonder what has changed in our approach?

[msstate7]

Yep, and nobody makes errors on K's.

Don't worry... Todd says we're best offense in sec. Gonna hit .300 and lead conf in steals and HRs.

[CadaverDawg]

That's an awful amount of strikeouts. Wonder what has changed in our approach?

That we have none

[CadaverDawg]

Don't worry... Todd says we're best offense in sec. Gonna hit .300 and lead conf in steals and HRs.

If Todd really said that, he's lost it

[MarketingBully]

It's the strike outs... we don't give ourselves a shot in scoring opportunities

The ump gave them that game in the tenth. That ump expanded the strike zone for the Oregon pitcher got the first strike out on a pitch about six inches off the plate which got the other batter to swing at the ball way out of the strike zone for strike out number two in that inning. Those pitches weren't close and if I was Cannazarro I would have immediately come out of the dugout and challenged the ump on that first strike 3 called. It was horrible. Disgraceful even.

[Noxdog]

Ballgame

**** us

Another crappy MSU day all around. Why was i born a dawg

Because you were born blessed. good night.

[hailstate17]

there are very little adjustments offensively outside of a few guys who are just crushing. What made us so good last year is that you couldn't get our hitters out the same way the second time through. Good offensive players don't get beat the same way over and over without making some adjustments

[msstate7]

If Todd really said that, he's lost it

I took a lot of liberty with that quote. He says our offense is for real though and not a product of crappy competition. I disagreed. I think our pitching is better than offense and he disagrees

[MarketingBully]

From what I could see on the strikeouts the umps were horrible this weekend.

[Saltydog]

games in the league........Pitching is thin, bottom part of the line up is bad......We're only as good as Pilkington and the top 4 in the lineup can take us.........

[CadaverDawg]

Well, Ole Miss lost 4 straight, so there's that.

[state66]

Have we not seen enough of Graham Ashcraft to move him to the bullpen? I dont want that kid to start another game.

[The Federalist Engineer]

15 hits and just 5 runs for us. Sickening

5 runs on 8 hits for them

Right now, this team just finds a way to lose. When you are good you don't create rallies for your opponent and you cash in 2-on-nobody out

[Todd4State]

If Todd really said that, he's lost it

Todd didn't really say that. Todd DID say that RIGHT NOW we are third in the SEC in home runs, lead the SEC in steals and are hitting .298 coming into the game which I believe was around seventh in the SEC. Todd DID say that someone is focusing way too much on how many times we struck out and not enough on the fact that we also have more extra base hits and are hitting better than we were at this time last year- despite losing a lot of players.

The fact of the matter is we scored five runs today and yesterday- that's a respectable amount for any offense. We also came back on them and gave ourselves a chance to win. I'm not going to complain about that. We lost today because we started a freshman who gave up four runs early and belongs in the bullpen.

[I seen it dawg]

You never see anyone with the presence of mind to do that

Because you catch fly balls that are outs. Jesus.

[msstate7]

Because you catch fly balls that are outs. Jesus.

Not always... that was the right decision in this case though, yeah

I said a post or so later that I took liberty with that quote. Not picking a fight. Sorry... let's get LT

[Todd4State]

I took a lot of liberty with that quote. He says our offense is for real though and not a product of crappy competition. I disagreed. I think our pitching is better than offense and he disagrees

You're still wrong, but at least you admitted that you misquote me, so I can respect that.

Our coach HAS TO figure out our roles on the pitching staff. I think we're getting closer to that though- Cyr looked good and it was good to see Rigby back even though he threw a critical wild pitch. He HAS TO stop starting Ashcraft and I thought based on his interview this week that he was going to start using him in the bullpen.

If we go with Pilkington, Plumlee, and start Self on Sundays and then use Cyr, Price, Barton, Rigby, and Ashcraft out of the bullpen and then we keep scoring our five runs a game- we will be more than fine. Even if we lead the SEC in K's. Why don't you talk about the fact that our team ERA is OVER 5 coming into the weekend and yet we are in the top half of the SEC in most offensive categories- but yet, hitting is the problem?

[The Federalist Engineer]

From what I could see on the strikeouts the umps were horrible this weekend.

I would have to say yeah...about the the strike zone that is

[Todd4State]

Have we not seen enough of Graham Ashcraft to move him to the bullpen? I dont want that kid to start another game.

I think it's coming sooner than later. They mentioned using him as a closer before this weekend. He does not know how to pitch right now and doesn't have the secondary stuff to use even if he does. He will get there- but he's far from a finished product right now. It's frustrating to me personally because I've been saying he should be in the pen for months now.

Is it just me or has Cann not really pitched a fit yet this year? Cant really recall him even leaving the dugout

[Noxdog]

Just may be his persona. I don't have real prob with that but he knows this team better than us. Like u i would like to see it though. Bad strike zone on us today.

Unfortunately- and I hate this- the NCAA has cracked down on baseball coaches arguing with umpires. Which is bullshit. But you basically can get ejected one time a year and even then the school gets fined and after that I think the coach gets suspended plus fined. That's why Cohen would argue with the umpires from time to time but he wouldn't get kicked out of the game as often as Polk did.

Todd. Bush league. I'm probably alone but I thought the zone today depended on what color was pitching. EOD that did not lose us the game but was frustrating.

[Todd4State]

It definitely inconsistent and it was not good today.

[ScoobaDawg]

Not happy with some things, but people do need to remember. Cann has only been our coach for 4 months. Even more.. HE has ONLY BEEN a HEAD COACH for 4 months.
There are gonna be a lot more bumps on the road.

[I seen it dawg]

You are way wrong scooba. He should be able to step in and know exactly what to do on every pitch of every game. The players too. No mistakes. Ever.

[lamont]

Our team would be even worse with Cohen right now

[basedog]

Our team would be even worse with Cohen right now

LOL, imagine Cohen bunting Rooker late in the game, Fire Cohen***

[msstate7]

Our team would be even worse with Cohen right now

How you figure this?

It's crazy to me that you've already anointed a guy better than a guy that won the sec at 2 different schools and played for a natty. Cann is 7-5 and you call him better than cohen already

[I seen it dawg]

Yep it's all about the record. Next thing you gonna tell us is you have to sit on breaking balls and adjust to fastballs.

[msstate7]

So you think Cann is better than cohen too? What may I ask do you base this on? I used record bc that's all I have right now... 12 games. Hell, cohen has more postseason games than that

[I seen it dawg]

I didn't say he was better. Nothing to base it off yet just as you can't base that Cohen was better just because of his record. It's obtuse. There isn't enough sample size. I am more of a cann style fan than I was a Cohen style though and I can see where we very well could have a worse record right now. The energy with our guys is much better to me. The results will come I believe.
