I was in school in the Eddie Stanky/S. Alabama days, I always hated to see that game coming. Stankey put out some really good teams. He gave Polkie hell.

[msbulldog]

3 up 3 down

[msstate7]

1-0 but we've got to get that 2nd run

[ScoobaDawg]

Rooker with the ground out to the right side of infield. Magnum scores.
MSU up 1-0 after 1.

[msstate7]

Maybe that hit will get Skelton going

[ScoobaDawg]

Blaylock and Skelton with back to back singles.
Stovall flies out to LF for 2nd out.
Mangum strikes out swinging.

1-0 MSU after 2

[ScoobaDawg]

leadoff single for USA in the 3rd.

[ScoobaDawg]

back to back K's and a flyout to cf.
Pilk with 44 pitches through 3.

To the bottom of the 3rd we go.
Where Luke Alexander has already lined out to CF on the 1st pitch looks like

[ScoobaDawg]

Rooker with a 2 out double. Get em in MacNamee

[msstate7]

Offense continues to be our biggest issue imo

[CadaverDawg]

Offense continues to be our biggest issue imo

Yep

[TNDawg35]

Whats worse than having the flu like me right now....
A) Pilk throwing gems and we cant hardly score
B) us steadily trying to pull outside pitches
C) us steadily swinging at balls in the dirt
D) being out of nyquil

[ScoobaDawg]

We got lucky with that call. He was safe.

3 up 3 down. to the 5th

[RTO Dawg]

I really like Bart...but that other dude gets on my last frikin nerve......

[msstate7]

Pilk is for real

[msstate7]

Unbelievable. This time Bragg goes to the wrong side of 1b after brown did it Tuesday night

[ScoobaDawg]

long fly ball to lf but blaylock catches it a foot from the warning track.
Pilk staying around 91-92.
K's the "3rd out" but can't get the out. runner on 1st.

[msstate7]

Pilk is really good. He may be the best in the sec next season. He's a big time piece to build next season on

[ScoobaDawg]

Pilk with 9ks on 69 pitches, 49 strikes thrown in 5 innings.

[RTO Dawg]

We really need a bery bery bery good at bat!

[msstate7]

Obviously you don't sac with mangum, but it's probably time to start sac bunting guys over with our offensive woes

[ScoobaDawg]

Big boy of USA at carrer high now innings and just threw 5 straight balls.
Come on MAGNUM!!!
Dangit 5-4 Magnum beats out the DP

[ScoobaDawg]

Obviously you don't sac with mangum, but it's probably time to start sac bunting guys over with our offensive woes

Well with Magnum running no need to sac. Safe
Runner at 2nd, 1 away. Come on LUKE

[msstate7]

Mangum can fly, but he's in a bunch of bang bang plays with his steals. He needs to work on his jumps

[ScoobaDawg]

Luke grounds out. Gridley flys out to rf. Inning over. to the 6th we go MSU 1-0

[RTO Dawg]

Mangum can fly, but he's in a bunch of bang bang plays with his steals. He needs to work on his jumps

everyone knows 15 is runnin...

[msstate7]

This appears to be 2012 all over again without the lockdown pen and big time Saturday guy to go with a Friday ace

[msstate7]

There is good news though... the sec scoreboard looks bad again

[msstate7]

I'd sac bunt here

[msstate7]

And I would've been wrong... good hit, mcnamee. Move em along Bragg

[msstate7]

This is interesting... PHing lefty to face lefty

[msstate7]

Good call, Cann. Good job, Cody

[msstate7]

I'll take it, but that should've ended inning.

[ScoobaDawg]

2-0 after 6 MSU

[TNDawg35]

Do we not have one coach who will tell the guys to make an adjustment? Quit trying to pull an outside pitch and smoke it the other way... DAMN!!

[ScoobaDawg]

Pilk with a dozen K's now on 90 pitches in the top 7

[The Federalist Engineer]

I think every pitcher we face in 2017 will include how he "mowed down Mississippi State" in his 2018 bio

[ScoobaDawg]

heading to the 8th. Pilk at 92 pitches.

[ScoobaDawg]

Henderson out to check on Pilk after pitch 101 after a 4 pitch walk.
Lineout to blaylock 1 away
Single to left, runners on 1st and 2nd

[ScoobaDawg]

Barlow in for Pilk after 107 pitches and 2-0 count and 7 and 2/3 innings

[RTO Dawg]

Damn, Cohen made that call in the middle of a bat

[ScoobaDawg]

damn. walked. now bases loaded. 2 outs
WHEW. K'd him

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Barlow

[msstate7]

I've been tough on this team; but there's no doubt had the TJ bug not bit us, we'd be an unbelievable pitching team. I think this team is gonna be pretty dang solid on the mound as is

[RTO Dawg]

haha long year thru my glasses

[msstate7]

haha long year thru my glasses

Don't take me wrong... I detest our lineup. I think we struggle all year scoring runs

[msstate7]

Big time play, mangum

[The Federalist Engineer]

Wrap it! Maroon and White! Pilkington is a war horse and Ace

[msstate7]

Good win. Let's get 2 more tomorrow

[raymond21]

We have got to start swinging the bats

[Activated Alpha]

I didn't watch the game from my phone. Wonder if that has anything to do with us winning...

[msstate7]

That's it. You must use a flip phone the rest of the season

[Todd4State]

Great win for us tonight. Much needed. We just beat a pretty respectable team at a time where we are really struggling and it seems like the baseball gods aren't on our side. People bitch about the hitting- we are always going to struggle against aces no matter even if we have the MSU dream team as a lineup. The guy that they threw tonight had an ERA of 0.00 coming into the game. I thought Cann coached much better tonight. And I guess he will bunt in the first inning. We made some mistakes on the bases at times and Skelton hit another guy on K in the dirt. Skelton HAS TO work on that. It felt like Cohen was coaching again for at least tonight- bunting in the first inning and bringing in Barlow with two strikes- my guess is Cohen and Cann had a meeting this week.

We need to get three more wins this weekend. We can't afford to **** any of them up.

Good post, great win but the big boy on the mound was not their ace. He only had one start coming in. He may very well become their ace though.

[tcdog70]

We actually hit several balls on the nose. But they were the dreaded At EM balls. We are going to have to start scoring some runs. But our pitching has been good enough lately.

[msstate7]

Good post, great win but the big boy on the mound was not their ace. He only had one start coming in. He may very well b come their ace though.

He had pitched 10.2 ip in 3 games coming in. He pitched a CG (8 innings) vs us

[Todd4State]

I noticed that he had a save coming in to tonight's game. And I think you are right that he may become their ace looking at his numbers, how they used him this week, and also based on the rest of their pitching staff's numbers.

Good lord. Cohen and cann had a meeting. Just fuel stupid ass fire. Beyond dumb. Canny didn't come here to listen to Cohen to tell him how to coach. Just stop. Please.
