[I seen it dawg]

We need this lineup to put it together

[msstate7]

We need this lineup to put it together

Yep. It's obvious Cann believes mcnamee and Skelton are much better than results so far.

[I seen it dawg]

Yep. It's obvious Cann believes mcnamee and Skelton are much better than results so far.

Because we aren't winning a national championship with this team so you have to develop. And those 2 guys along with a Blaylock have room to develop and be big players for us the next 2-3 years. They have to play.

Its what I've been trying to tell the melters. The kids with no experience have to get it somehow. No better time than now as we aren't going all the way. They have to separate themselves with their non-game work and earn their way to the lineup. Coaches will choose who to invest lineup time to for the guys they think are going to be long term contributors.

Why not play Skelton as the main guy? We know Lovelady is pretty good behind the plate but he's no star. And he's a dead out at the plate. Play the true freshman and endure the growing pains. Why play a guy that is beyond his ceiling already instead of a kid not close when a championship is not in the cards. Crazy as it sounds this is an opportunity to see what young guys are gonna be players and an opportunity for Cann to really see guys play meaningful innings very early on. Sucks we are in this spot but it's an opportunity to make a leap in our program for the next 2-3 years. Just have to understand we are where we are and use it, don't be pussies and cry about it.

[CadaverDawg]

Nice start, Denver!

[confucius say]

Updates please. Stats page on hail state is not working on my phone.

[RAYn_Man]

It appears Coggin moved to 1st base coach.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Gridley...up 2-1 and hit a tapper to the pitcher? Good grief dude

[CadaverDawg]

Updates please. Stats page on hail state is not working on my phone.

McQuary strikes out side in top of 1st

Alexander doubles but is stranded at 2nd in the bottom of 1st (Mangum fly out, Luke double, Gridley groundout to P, Rooker groundout to 2B)

0-0 after 1

0-0 after 1

Great summary. Thanks

[CadaverDawg]

5 K's through 2 innings for McQuary

Headed to bottom of 2, 0-0

[I seen it dawg]

Terrible call on the steal. Blaylock was in the box and not over the plate. Total horseshit.

[CadaverDawg]

Macnamee single
Bragg K
Blaylock K (interference on steal attempt, which was BS)

0-0 after 2

2 runners stranded through 2 after being on with less than 2 outs. What's new

[CadaverDawg]

Terrible call on the steal. Blaylock was in the box and not over the plate. Total horseshit.

Yep, Blaylock was just finishing his swing. Did nothing at all to get in the way

[The Federalist Engineer]

Beating a dead horse: But we are going to be this Columbia pitcher's highlight performance in 2017. We are making him look like Clayton Kershaw out there. He locates, changes speed, and stays ahead of counts. But everyone seems to do that to us

[confucius say]

Thanks.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Yep, Blaylock was just finishing his swing. Did nothing at all to get in the way

True, never left the box and did nothing but finish his swinging motion

[I seen it dawg]

Huge k. That's how you pitch. Have to have a k there to get out of an inning like this.

[msbulldog]

Need a grounder.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit. Can't walk guys. Let's go freshman.

[msbulldog]

Dammit!

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy. Only giving up one there is big.

[msbulldog]

Hallelujah

[CadaverDawg]

1-0 Columbia headed to bottom of 3

[confucius say]

Was it a double play to get out of top of third?

[msbulldog]

Was it a double play to get out of top of third?

Yep line drive caught, pick off at 2nd.

[msbulldog]

Top of order Mangum up.

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton Groundout, Stovall fly out, Mangum groundout

1-0 Columbia after 3

[msbulldog]

1-0 Columbia, 4th inning coming

[msbulldog]

Flyout 1 down.

[Bully13]

I'm sure glad Columbia can't croot as good as us in baseball.

[I seen it dawg]

Let's go freshman. No 2 out walks

[msbulldog]

Another walk.

[I seen it dawg]

Throw the ball over the ****ing plate you get outs. Really simple.

[CadaverDawg]

Fly out, groundout, walk, walk, fly out

1-0 Columbia headed to b4

[msbulldog]

Great catch by McNamee in RF to get us out with no damage.

[I seen it dawg]

And if Cohen would have recruited some ****** hitters we could,score some ****ing runs.

[I seen it dawg]

Fastball down the middle and we hit it to 2nd. **** gridley pull the ****ing ball. Rooker swinging at breaking balls when they are clearly pitching you backwards. Muther****ing let's go.

[CadaverDawg]

Alexander single, Gridley double play, Rooker HBP, Macnamee pop out to 1B

Sheesh 1-0

[CadaverDawg]

Gridley needs to drop in the lineup. He cannot be hitting fastballs down the pipe to 2B with a man on and 0 outs in our 3 hole. After hitting a 2-1 pitch to the pitcher his first AB. I know I've defended him in the 3, but geez.

[CadaverDawg]

McQuary out. Should be in line for a win, but we can't hit our way out of a wet paper bag

[msbulldog]

5th walk 0 outs 74 pitches, change made.

[CadaverDawg]

Barton in

[msstate7]

Cann continues to run this same lineup out there that can't score runs. I know, I know I seen it... it's cohen's, henderson's, everyone's fault but Cann's

[I seen it dawg]

I don't disagree but I don't know who we put there. Move Mangum but now we don't have a leadoff guy. Move LA but shit he's not much in the 2. Then move Stovall up but it makes our bottom that much worse. Just gonna be painful growing.

[msbulldog]

Skelton sails pick off attempt man at 2nd.

[I seen it dawg]

Cann continues to run this same lineup out there that can't score runs. I know, I know I seen it... it's cohen's, henderson's, everyone's fault but Cann's

We don't have anybody that can hit you ****ing dumbass. All year it's gonna be this way. You think we are just gonna magically start scoring runs? No we aren't they have to grind thru it. Or they aren't good enough and we need new ones. Either way it a process and it's painful.

[I seen it dawg]

Hey 7 who the **** we gonna run int there that's gonna hit? Where the **** is he? Who is he!

[I seen it dawg]

Cann is really close to absolutely losing his shit. I hope it's on the practice field tomorrow.

[I seen it dawg]

Wow they called that guy out. Jesus

[msbulldog]

Wow reverses the call that was probably right.

[msstate7]

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. How about?...

Mangum
Blaylock
Rooker
Alexander
Gridley
Stovall

Finish anyway you please.

The reasoning is mangum gets on base at over .500. If he gets on, blaylock will see fastballs which he crushes and rooker will get ab's with mangum on base.

Will it work? Maybe not, but our current lineup is not and that's for certain

[msbulldog]

Man at 3rd 2 out.

[was21]

Kind of embarrassing home cooking...we don't need that...not MSU baseball

[CadaverDawg]

Nice work by Barton

Still 1-0

[I seen it dawg]

Great job getting out of that. Thanks blue.

[msbulldog]

Strike out 1 man left.

[CadaverDawg]

Bragg definitely has the look of a first baseman. Just gotta get him hitting the ball. Him and everyone else

[I seen it dawg]

You aren't seeing it which is expected. We have to find pieces to go in the lineup. We don't have pieces right now. That's the problem not where they ****ing hit.

[msbulldog]

Blaylock single.

[msstate7]

You aren't seeing it which is expected. We have to find pieces to go in the lineup. We don't have pieces right now. That's the problem not where they ****ing hit.

We have 6 guys with an ops over .885. That should equate into runs, but it isn't... order is a problem

[I seen it dawg]

There's a break let's go. Can't k and leave him there

[msbulldog]

Throw to 1st base thrown away. Blaylock to 3rd.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, blaylock

[msbulldog]

Walk, 1st and 3rd 1 out.

[I seen it dawg]

We have 6 guys with an ops over .885. That should equate into runs, but it isn't... order is a problem

You still don't get it. Great we have guys with ops. But when you move the. You create holes elsewhere. Got to find more bats. We have too many dead outs. They will still be there even if you put those 6 guys in top 6.

[msbulldog]

Stovall sac fly, Blaylock tags and scores 1-1, 2 outs.

[I seen it dawg]

Good job getting the run home. Veteran AB

[CadaverDawg]

Dumb hit & run

[msbulldog]

Mangum strikes out, hitting streak not looking good.

[CadaverDawg]

1-1 after 5

[msstate7]

Cody brown in for defense... immediate error. Thanks cohen**

[I seen it dawg]

Cody brown in for defense... immediate error. Thanks cohen**

Yep bc he didn't go get a true first baseman.

[I seen it dawg]

Great job Barton. Great play la to get out of it scoreless.

[msbulldog]

Great play by LA, inning over man left at 3rd.

[CadaverDawg]

Why not wait until Bragg's spot is up again to make a move with Brown? May not like the matchup by then, and Bragg gives you more size at 1B

[msbulldog]

LA walks.

[CadaverDawg]

Alexander is our player of the game today

[msbulldog]

Ground out, LA to 2nd.

[Activated Alpha]

Just tuned in, what the hell is wrong with our hitting? Why have we only scored 1 on Columbia?

[msbulldog]

Pitch out Rooker to 1st, 1 out.

[CadaverDawg]

Why not wait until Bragg's spot is up again to make a move with Brown? May not like the matchup by then, and Bragg gives you more size at 1B

It worked. Good

[CadaverDawg]

3-1 Dawgs on the Cody single

[maroonmania]

Good job Cody! 2 out 2 RBI single up the middle!

[msbulldog]

Cody Brown 2 run single, 3-1 Dawgs. Hail State!

[I seen it dawg]

Cody brown in for defense... immediate error. Thanks cohen**

Cody 2 out 2 run single. Thanks Cann

Steals second and scores. Play him.

[CadaverDawg]

Blaylock singles in Cody! 4-1

[I seen it dawg]

Good job finishing him Blaylock

[msstate7]

Cody 2 out 2 run single. Thanks Cann

Steals second and scores. Play him.
Haha... atta boy, brown

[msbulldog]

Brant Blaylock single 4-1 Dawgs, Bott 6th.

[CadaverDawg]

Finally got the soft tossing lefty out of the game. They're bringing a RHP in now

[maroonmania]

Nice to see the bottom of the order doing some damage for a change.

[CadaverDawg]

Took a little while, but we finally woke up the bats. Now let's tack on insurance runs and have our pen shut this thing down

[I seen it dawg]

**** Blaylock can you get a worse jump.

[CadaverDawg]

Why? Why steal there with your worst hitter at the plate? Let Skelton get his out and have Stovall & Mangum to lead off.

[msstate7]

Took a little while, but we finally woke up the bats. Now let's tack on insurance runs and have our pen shut this thing down

Hopefully it just took one good inning to get them going. I'm obviously not a big fan of our hitting, but we have been severely underperforming there lately.

[I seen it dawg]

Why? Why steal there with your worst hitter at the plate? Let Skelton get his out and have Stovall & Mangum to lead off.

Agree. Too greedy. Let Skelton hit with pitcher at disadvantage. Or he's out of the way.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Cann is so aggressive with base running.

[I seen it dawg]

I did see third base coach talking to him pretty quickly. If they have green light hopefully explaining to him that's a red light situation.

[I seen it dawg]

I like this Barton kid. Good stuff and pounds the zone.

[msbulldog]

Good inning for Barton 3 up 3 down.

[CadaverDawg]

I like this Barton kid. Good stuff and pounds the zone.

Yea he must have good movement bc he gets a lot of people swinging right through his fastball. Holder got a lot of those similar looking swings right through his fastball. Not that Barton is in that league yet, but it just reminded me of him

[CadaverDawg]

Jake's streak ends

He has to start swinging at better pitches. Just dug a 1-2 hole on 3 straight balls. He's going to get less and less decent pitches if he doesn't start showing he can take a pitch

[msbulldog]

I guess that's it for Mangums hitting streak, 27 games damn good effort.

[msbulldog]

C'mon guys let's shut this thing down!

[msstate7]

Welp

[CadaverDawg]

Barton out, Cyr in. 2 on 0 out for Columbia

[I seen it dawg]

Left him a little long. I would have liked to see a clean start to the inning for the new pitcher.

[msbulldog]

Good job by Barton 3+ innings 55 pitches, no runs. Let's see if Cyr can close this thing!

[maroonmania]

Jake's streak ends

He has to start swinging at better pitches. Just dug a 1-2 hole on 3 straight balls. He's going to get less and less decent pitches if he doesn't start showing he can take a pitch

If I was a pitcher I would certainly never throw Mangum a strike. There is no need to.

[maroonmania]

Can we please not have another late inning implosion??

[maroonmania]

Can we please not have another late inning implosion??

Well guess that was too much to ask. Tying runs on 2nd and 3rd now with no outs. Sometimes this team is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a bitch. 4-2, 2 RISP with 0 outs

Same shit every game

[msbulldog]

17

[maroonmania]

Tied now. This team is a clown show.

[CadaverDawg]

4-4 unreal

[CadaverDawg]

Cann is furious. So am I

[CadaverDawg]

Price in

[I seen it dawg]

Well at least Cann wasted no time. Yanked his ass after 4 pitches. We may not see him again for awhile

[msstate7]

If Cody is a defensive replacement, Poole should be one for mcnamee. Jim says mcnamee should've caught that ball

[I seen it dawg]

Jim said that? Ok then

[maroonmania]

Well at least Cann wasted no time. Yanked his ass after 4 pitches. We may not see him again for awhile

Well he wasted enough time for Cyr to give up 3 runs and get the game tied. Freakin' ridiculous.

[MaroonFlounder]

This team makes me drink

[I seen it dawg]

Well he wasted enough time for Cyr to give up 3 runs and get the game tied. Freakin' ridiculous.

It was 4 pitches. That's on cyr not Cann. Freakin ridiculous cyr doesn't come in and compete.

[msstate7]

Jim said that? Ok then

Jim said he misplayed it off the bat. Stood still too long before breaking

[maroonmania]

This team makes me drink

Take out the 55-20 thrashing of UNM and this whole sports year has pretty much been a disaster. Pretty sad when the only bright spot is WBB.

[CadaverDawg]

4-4 headed to b8

[maroonmania]

Nice job by Spencer. Sure wish we would have gone to him to start with. Cann was likely hoping to save him for USA but that won't be happening.

[MaroonFlounder]

Price definitely comfortable in closer role I think

[I seen it dawg]

Barton and Price are damn solid out of the pen.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Macnamee looked like Humphries on the key hit by Arizona last year. Maybe Poole is not so bad

[maroonmania]

Macnamee looked like Humphries on the key hit by Arizona last year. Maybe Poole is so not bad

We need Poole in the field and Macnamee at the plate. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

[CadaverDawg]

4-4 to the 9th. The heart of our order has been trash

[The Federalist Engineer]

We need Poole in the field and Macnamee at the plate. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.

Other than not striking out as often, Macnamee has not been much better at the plate

[msstate7]

Poole into game in RF. Had he entered last inning, we'd be winning

[I seen it dawg]

Poole into game in RF. Had he entered last weekend, we'dbe winning

If I was born 6 inches taller I would have pitched in the show

[msbulldog]

This team makes me drink

I am with you!

[CadaverDawg]

B9 4-4

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

This team makes me drink

Agree! Very frustrating!

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Cody

[I seen it dawg]

Hahahahaha Cody

[msbulldog]

CODY BROWN YES!!!!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Boom triple

[CadaverDawg]

Blaylock wins it!

5-4

[The Federalist Engineer]

Thanks Cody

[CadaverDawg]

Keep growing up, Dawgs. Build off of it

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy brant. Cody spark plugs it. Good win.

[maroonmania]

Well a win is a win I guess. Spencer is used up for the day but that's better than taking a loss to an Ivy League team.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I haven't been able to watch nearly as many games this season as previously..but it seems to me Cody Brown has earned a spot in the lineup.

[CadaverDawg]

I haven't been able to watch nearly as many games this season as previously..but it seems to me Cody Brown has earned a spot in the lineup.

He had been looking bad for a little while leading into today. Considering how our team is hitting though, he'll be on the field a lot

[CadaverDawg]

I'd be fine with putting Cody at DH or RF to get better bats in the lineup.

Maybe...

Mangum CF
Blaylock LF
Rooker DH
Alexander 3B
Cody Brown RF
Gridley SS
Bragg 1B
Skelton C
Stovall 2B

Yalls thoughts?

[Todd4State]

Why not Bragg at first base and then Cody and Blaylock in the OF?

[Todd4State]

I'd be fine with putting Cody at DH or RF to get better bats in the lineup.

Maybe...

Mangum CF
Blaylock LF
Rooker DH
Alexander 3B
Cody Brown RF
Gridley SS
Bragg 1B
Skelton C
Stovall 2B

Yalls thoughts?


I think we had the same thought! Ha!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

He had been looking bad for a little while leading into today. Considering how our team is hitting though, he'll be on the field a lot

Yea like I said I haven't been able to watch much. So it's just been coincidental that's he's looked good while I've watched I guess, haha

[basedog]

"That's Baseball"

Young team learning how to win.
