Hahaha awesome

[MetEdDawg]

Mangum getting the start I see

[smootness]

Mangum getting the start I see

He's clearly our Sunday starter now.

[MetEdDawg]

He's clearly our Sunday starter now.

I hate that. I mean he's done well but it sucks having to do that. Wish we had someone we trusted go shove on Sunday's to give us a chance instead of Mr. Potato Heading this thing by piecing it together one part at a time.

Mr. Potato Head is doing the best he can with the circumstances. We're winning battles, piecing together games with duct tape, clothes hangers and spit. We're playing with approximately 25 players vs. 35 players for our opponents.

I don't think you got the reference. Mr. Potato Heading it refers to not having pitchers and having to piece a game together part by part. It's the term I use when I have to do the same thing on the high school team I coach. Definitely not a shot at Can. He's done great.

Gotcha!

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Going to have to have our bats to win this one today

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta get more than 1 out of that.

[msstate7]

Gotta get more than 1 out of that.

At least Kentucky did pretty much the same thing. Both squandered at least 1 run

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum getting shelled. We aren't winning today. Not unless we go to the pen now and get a great bullpen outing

[msstate7]

Mangum getting shelled. We aren't winning today. Not unless we go to the pen now and get a great bullpen outing

Why it was so dumb to pitch self in the 9th last night in a blow out

[msstate7]

How did he get to 2b without a throw? Mangum had that ball quickly

[msstate7]

Good Lord Gridley... he should've got that ball

[CadaverDawg]

It's over. Mangum is getting ripped yet we leave him in and UK up 4-1

[msstate7]

It's over. Mangum is getting ripped yet we leave him in and UK up 4-1
Think we regret using self up 6 in the 9th last night? It was dumb and its hurting us now

[maroonmania]

The 2 game set in the midweek really bit us in the ass this week. We've just got nobody to turn to that has a fresh arm.

[CadaverDawg]

Think we regret using self up 6 in the 9th last night? It was dumb and its hurting us now

Self's not hurting us. What's hurting us is leaving Mangum in. He clearly doesn't have it today. Not a SEC starter. Self has nothing to do with it...he can pitch today. He should probably be our Sunday guy...so if that's what your saying I agree

[msstate7]

Not hurting us. What's hurting us is leaving Mangum in. He clearly doesn't have it today. Not a SEC starter. Self has nothing to do with it...he can pitch today. He should probably be our Sunday guy...so if that's what your saying I agree

I said last night that once mangum was hit by pitch that self couldn't be used. Have to have self ready to go today.

[CadaverDawg]

I said last night that once mangum was hit by pitch that self couldn't be used. Have to have self ready to go today.

Self should be our Sunday starter. Put Barton in Self's setup role

[msstate7]

What was that 5 pitches?

[CadaverDawg]

What was that 5 pitches?

Pitiful

[CadaverDawg]

Why not just start Jolly? Mangum is not a SEC rotation guy. Hell, let him start midweek and give Sunday to Ashcraft or McQuary...ya know, a pitcher

[msstate7]

Pitiful

I didn't like it. Their guy had really high pitch count after 1 and we put him right back on schedule

[msstate7]

Why not just start Jolly? Mangum is not a SEC rotation guy. Hell, let him start midweek and give Sunday to Ashcraft or McQuary...ya know, a pitcher

Mangum's role should be like the 9th last night or midweek starter

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum's role should be like the 9th last night or midweek starter

Yep

[CadaverDawg]

We basically just threw away a series by starting a CF on Sunday. And this guy would walk a bunch of hitters if we'd give him a chance, but nope...gotta swing at every damn thing

[msstate7]

Stovall is one hell of a defender at 2b

[DownwardDawg]

Update?

[msstate7]

Update?

4-1 bad guys b3

[HSVDawg]

Mangum's role should be like the 9th last night or midweek starter

This has been covered ad nauseum, but if Mangum is going to help us at all on the mound he has to be a starter for us. And we need that help on the weekend way more than the midweek (especially from here on out). That doesn't mean leaving him in too long wasn't a mistake, but we can't afford to not have all hands on deck on the weekends with our current pitching situation.

[msstate7]

So start him midweek. Last night was over... just needed a pitcher to record some outs. In the 9th of a game over, mangum can pitch there and Poole can play cf

[msstate7]

Cody brown is turning in a heck of a senior year

[HereComesTheSpiral]

Do we have a club team where we can hold open tryouts like Virginia did in 2015?

[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady batting 5th....L F'n O L

[CadaverDawg]

Alexander is just awful right now. Good grief. Just give him the take sign and hope for a walk

[CadaverDawg]

If you HAVE to start him...which is BS...then start him midweek. Problem solved

[CadaverDawg]

Leadoff walk to #9 hitter. Sheesh, I hate a ****ing walk

[msstate7]

Leadoff walk to #9 hitter. Sheesh, I hate a ****ing walk

5 on the weekend to him.

What's funny is we talk about him being a "9th place hitter" with the negative connotation. We use one of our best hitters in the 9th hole with holes all in our lineup. A good 9th place hitter is a nice idea, but this team needs Stovall higher up

[msstate7]

Good play gridley.

Ugly, but effective shut down inning. Get another run here, dawgs

[msstate7]

Atta boy, macnamee. He's having a good game... double and great play in rf

[maroonmania]

I'm really concerned about our offense going into the second half of the SEC season. Its becoming obvious that if you just take the bat out of Rooker's hands that our offense is pretty weak. Afraid we are about to start see a lot of teams just quit pitching to Rooker altogether.

[msstate7]

Why the hell are we bunting there? So dumb

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Stovall... get him 2nd in the lineup...

Mangum
Stovall
Rooker
Gridley

[msstate7]

Lol @ Kentucky LF

Tied up

[maroonmania]

Interesting here to see if they even pitch to Rooker.

[msstate7]

Interesting here to see if they even pitch to Rooker.

Dumb if they do... set up DP

[maroonmania]

Guess Rooker is mortal after all.

[maroonmania]

Well, blew a great chance to take the lead there.

[msstate7]

Well, blew a great chance to take the lead there.

They gave us the tie though... new game... get self up in pen

[maroonmania]

Rooker is more talented than he is smart. He does the dumbest crap

He is dumb. Just saw that pop up was on an intentional walk attempt. Jeez.

[lamont]

Self has had arm problems- not sure I'd pitch him 3 days in a row

[lamont]

He is dumb. Just saw that pop up was on an intentional walk attempt. Jeez.

He's no Kelly Leak

[msstate7]

Self has had arm problems- not sure I'd pitch him 3 days in a row

You're right (don't say that often). Still confused why we used him in blow out last night

[msstate7]

Jolly has had an effective outing. Maybe he can give us another inning or 2

[ScoobaDawg]

Damn y'all bitch a lot at the first sign of problems. and we sit here tied 4-4 on a sunday game when we have no pitching depth.
We doing just fine... Keep holding and let's scratch off a few more runs.

[msstate7]

Jolly has been huge

[msstate7]

Macnamee hasn't liked sitting on the bench. 2-hit game

[msstate7]

I'm ok with that bunt. Don't like bunting runner to 3rd down 2 though

[msstate7]

Mangum!!! Kentucky LF is really bad

7-4 state

[ScoobaDawg]

Dawgs up 7 -4 Magnum with triple..ball gets away when throwing in from the SS on the relay... comes in for the score.

[ScoobaDawg]

Come on Rooker... why not knock the cover off another one here..

[maroonmania]

Wow, Mangum with the down the line double turned into a triple by the inept KY LF. Mangum comes on in on a throwing error. Great job Dawgs! Its amazing we didn't get an excessive celebration penalty on Mangum there.**

[msstate7]

Kentucky LF Friday night trip and let mangum ball by twice and threw ball away. He's having a terrible series defensively

[DownwardDawg]

We doing just fine... Keep holding and let's scratch off a few more runs.

I just checked the score and thought the same thing. Lol. Kentucky is going to sweep us remember?? It's hard to break that mentality though when you've been a State fan since birth!

[maroonmania]

Left on left there with Brown I really wish we would have considered a squeeze play. One more run would be very big here.

[maroonmania]

Don't understand why we won't bunt a squeeze play to get a run but we will bunt to move a man from 2nd to 3rd base and give away an out with a man already in scoring position? Strange.

[msstate7]

Pitching change is perfect time to do it. Bobby cox used to do it all the time

[CadaverDawg]

How about Trey Jolly. Way to step up big man

[DownwardDawg]

How about Trey Jolly. Way to step up big man

I love this team. They are soooo gritty!

[lamont]

automatic out

[DownwardDawg]

Boom!!!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

Bragg with a PH 3 run BOMB. 10-4

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Wow Bragg!

[msstate7]

Well that's a surprising call and it came up roses

[ScoobaDawg]

Thats an ok move to take mangum out.

[maroonmania]

Man, Canny pushing ALL the right buttons. Bragg with a 3 run jack pinch hitting for Mangum.

[lamont]

See? We have other guys that can absorb Belmont's AB's

[Quaoarsking]

So ... if all current leads hold today, we'll be tied for 1st in the SEC. #backtoback?

[LC Dawg]

"Hey coach, I jammed my hand a little."
"That's ok, take a seat for the rest of the day and let's get a 3 run bomb out of Bragg."

[lamont]

incredible job so far by Cann piecing it together

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Bragg is a big dude btw. Hopefully that was a sign he's getting it together at the plate.

[msstate7]

See? We have other guys that can absorb Belmont's AB's

No one is arguing Belmont is a good hitter. Our defense with him at 3b and Stovall at 2b is our best though. Stovall made 2 plays at 2b that no one else makes for us today... that crazy hop was an unbelievable play and the lightning turn for the DP was MLB quality

[HSVDawg]

See? We have other guys that can absorb Belmont's AB's

And yet none of them can play third base. And somehow you never bring up the fact that Amory and Southaven have way worse plate stats than Belmont yet continue to play regularly.

[CadaverDawg]

Well done

[maroonmania]

Dang, Jolly gives up one hit and we pull him. He seemed to be in a groove.

[msstate7]

Jolly is the player of the game. What a job

[ScoobaDawg]

Runner on 1st. Uk changes hitters to a left hander. Cann pulls Jolly for barlow.
Great job Jolly

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Hell of an outing by Jolly. We just keep piecing it together and having guys step up when called on.

[maroonmania]

Wish we would have left Jolly in. 2 run bomb for KY. Now 10-6

[lamont]

Stovall can play 3B well. Wont really lose anything there. We'll be ok at 2B with Cody and can add offense in the OF. I'm choosing more O over D- I completely understand who can do what

[basedog]

Stovall can play 3B well. Wont really lose anything there. We'll be ok at 2B with Cody and can add offense in the OF. I'm choosing more O over D- I completely understand who can do what

I agree, Belmont could be a defensive specialist late innings.

[msstate7]

Maybe Cann will agree with you. Maybe not

[msstate7]

I agree, Belmont could be a defensive specialist late innings.

Don't you dare question one of our coaches!**

[lamont]

And yet none of them can play third base. And somehow you never bring up the fact that Amory and Southaven have way worse plate stats than Belmont yet continue to play regularly.

Bragg deserves AB's. Stovall can absolutely play 3B

[msstate7]

Can't stand prosperity

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Gridley

[maroonmania]

Dang, thanks Gridley. Now we have to bring in Price in the 8th. Can't make the routine throw to first.

[msstate7]

Bragg deserves AB's. Stovall can absolutely play 3B

Let Bragg DH some

[lamont]

atta boy Price

[lamont]

Let Bragg DH some

What ya gonna do with MacNamee?

[msstate7]

What ya gonna do with MacNamee?

He in RF today

[BeardoMSU]

Spencer with the big dick moment.

3 more outs boys.

[lamont]

He in RF today

only because Magnum was the DH

[Perpetual Underachiever]

Remind me...is Rigby done for the year?

[maroonmania]

Well if Price can get through one more inning he should get rest until Friday. If we need him to pitch to beat MVSU then things are going really badly.

[99jc]

atta boy Price

I called this team shitty 1st of the year looks like i was wrong they are starting to jell. could win a regional not sure about a super unless we get really hot at the end.

[msstate7]

only because Magnum was the DH

Macnamee has started a bunch in RF.

[maroonmania]

Remind me...is Rigby done for the year?

Wouldn't expect him back before tournament time.

[msstate7]

Remind me...is Rigby done for the year?

8 weeks about 2 weeks ago. I say yes

[lamont]

Macnamee has started a bunch in RF.

I'd rather have Poole in the line-up than Belmont. He needs to stay. He's hitting .258 in SEC play since the UPig series

[maroonmania]

Another time there after the Brown walk where a sac bunt would have actually made sense with Lovelady and we don't do it.

[CadaverDawg]

Hopefully the idiotic decision of batting Lovelady 5th, can be officially put to an end. So dumb

[lamont]

Another time there after the Brown walk where a sac bunt would have actually made sense with Lovelady and we don't do it.

We used up our sac bunt allotment during the Cohen Era.

[maroonmania]

And Belmont would have followed the sac with an RBI single. Oh well.

[99jc]

We used up our sac bunt allotment during the Cohen Era.

+1

[lamont]

Hopefully the idiotic decision of batting Lovelady 5th, can be officially put to an end. So dumb

he's had a bad day today but he has been hitting pretty well lately. 10/28 in SEC play- .357

[Saltydog]

his status?

[msstate7]

We used up our sac bunt allotment during the Cohen Era.

Nah, we saved some. Cann does some dumb sacs too. Bunting runner to 3rd with no outs and down 2 is pretty bad.

[CadaverDawg]

he's had a bad day today but he has been hitting pretty well lately. 10/28 in SEC play- .357

I don't care if he's batting .500 lately, Lovelady is what he is at this point in his career...and that is not a 5 hole hitter in SEC play

[Turfdawg67]

It's over. Mangum is getting ripped yet we leave him in and UK up 4-1

Ha! Nice call.

[msstate7]

his status?

Gone

[CadaverDawg]

Ha! Nice call.

Reverse jinx has been money this year*

[lamont]

his status?

Marrero has been gone and is no longer in school is my understanding

[msstate7]

Reverse jinx has been money this year*

No way we win 8 this year in football

[basedog]

Don't you dare question one of our coaches!**

I didn't, I just agreed with Random. You are the master blaster at questioning.

[maroonmania]

Pompey was struck out looking. HP umpire with the screw job.

[DownwardDawg]

Reverse jinx has been money this year*

Please keep it up my man. The Friday night calling the UK sweep has been great.

[DownwardDawg]

Good series win

[ScoobaDawg]

Dawgs win 10-6 and take the series. Tied for lead in west and SEC

[CadaverDawg]

Unreal that we took 2 of 3 after they beat Pilk. This team has Girodos....I love it

[The Federalist Engineer]

Mississippi State is 1st place in the SEC ... probably a top-15 team... good job on the rebuild by Cannizarro...took just 6 weeks or so

[maroonmania]

Jolly and Price were studs today! Wonder what kind of bets you could have gotten on MSU to go 8-1 in the next 9 following the Arkansas sweep. Great job by our staff and players! I really thought after we blew the Friday game that 1 of 3 on the weekend was our best case scenario.

[3rdGen]

HAILSTATE!!! Tied for the lead in the west!

[msstate7]

Can't say enough for the job Cann and Henderson have done. Great job this weekend, dawgs

[GTHOM]

If we had all our arms we'd be set for a run. This team has guts and probably the best 1-2 hole hitters in the country. Cody Brown has been swinging it lately too. Where is all the people that were calling for 8 SEC wins this year

[MarketingBully]

Excellent coaching job by Cann. He keeps this up it would be very hard to decide between him, Thompson, and Mingione for Coach of the Year. He is also ahead of his former boss Paul Manierie (sp??).

[Turfdawg67]

Funny that our naysayers are never around when we win... I guess this 2 of 3 was "fools gold" too?!?

[Perpetual Underachiever]

Unreal that we took 2 of 3 after they beat Pilk. This team has Girodos....I love it

Prior to the weekend I would have said there is a <1% chance we win the series without winning on Friday. This team is so impressive in so many different areas, and they are fun as hell to watch!

[MarketingBully]

8-1 the last three SEC series. Completely unreal.

[GTHOM]

I'm here haha

To your credit you do stick around

[MagicDawg]

Dawgs win 10-6 and take the series. Tied for lead in west and SEC

With all the injuries, surgeries, base-running brain farts, and missing personnel... that we are tied for the lead in the West and the SEC really defies credulity. The players have moments of skill, sure, and Rooker is a beast... but Cann must be doing some kind of voodoo because it seems at times like the team is held together with duct tape but still holds together for the W.

I did not expect to win this series after that first game. Hail State.

[Jacksondevildog]

RPI currently at 20 and SOS at 7.

[shoeless joe]

Great job by cann with the dumpster fire Cohen left him with *

Ha. +1

[Todd4State]

RPI currently at 20 and SOS at 7.

I think coming into the weekend we had 10-11 wins vs top 100 teams. So we either have 12-13 now. That a lot. And at least four of those are on the road and could be five depending on where Memphis is now in RPI.

[Todd4State]

Excellent coaching job by Cann. He keeps this up it would be very hard to decide between him, Thompson, and Mingione for Coach of the Year. He is also ahead of his former boss Paul Manierie (sp??).

Three of the four are either current or former MSU coaches/assistant coaches hired by Cohen. You add in Lane Burroughs and what he is doing at La Tech and that's pretty remarkable.

[The Federalist Engineer]

If we had all our arms we'd be set for a run. This team has guts and probably the best 1-2 hole hitters in the country. Cody Brown has been swinging it lately too. Where is all the people that were calling for 8 SEC wins this year

What you can't quantify is Coach Cann's leadership and how he has made this team resilient to adversity. These are some non-quitting, hard-headed sons-of-a-gun...give up 3 in the 1st inning, they are not discouraged. And it helps that we have Superman in a Maroon and White uniform...

Our boys are probably thinking, "we should have swept!"

We came pretty close to doing that.

[HSVDawg]

Bragg deserves AB's. Stovall can absolutely play 3B

Bragg does deserve AB's but he doesn't have a position. So he can DH. And saying Stovall = Alexander defensively at 3B is ludicrous. We didn't even want to put Stovall at 3B early in the year last year over Gavin when he was booting balls all over the place.

But lets just forget the defensive thing altogether. Name 9 hitters on our team better than Alexander. You simply can't do it. And if your touting Poole's whopping .258 average in SEC play since the Arkansas series, let us know Alexander's as well. Or tell us Poole's stats for all SEC games. Compare apples to apples.

We didnt want to start Stovall at 3B last year because he was a true freshman PLUS we had to have Collins bat

Poole is hitting .258 since UPig in SEC play
Belmont is hitting .172 since UPig in SEC play

Name 9 hitters better than someone hitting .170 in SEC play???? That's easy- anybody not named Belmont

[msstate7]

Alexander has a hit in 6 of his last 7 sec games. He also hit a big HR Wednesday. He's not gonna be benched

[lamont]

Alexander has a hit in 6 of his last 7 sec games. He also hit a big HR Wednesday. He's not gonna be benched

He does not. Thats a lie.

He was 2/11 vs OM and 2/12 vs Kentucky. 4/23 for a .174 average. You cant count him missing 1st base no matter how hard you try

[Todd4State]

Alexander has a hit in 6 of his last 7 sec games. He also hit a big HR Wednesday. He's not gonna be benched

He also had a broken finger for the Tennessee and Ole Miss series as well. I imagine that affected his hitting some. When I saw us play in Memphis to me, it looked like it was bothering him a little bit but yesterday I thought he looked better as far as pain goes.

[msstate7]

He does not. Thats a lie.

He was 2/11 vs OM and 2/12 vs Kentucky. 4/23 for a .174 average. You cant count him missing 1st base no matter how hard you try

When it comes to deciding whether to bench a guy for his bat, you consider that double or you just have an agenda

[msstate7]

Random, if you think defense isn't a big deal, watch the last 2 braves' games. An error can lose you a game as quick as a HR can win it. Heck, take a look at Kentucky's LF

[lamont]

I do value defense- I just dont think someone hitting .170 deserves to start every game

[msstate7]

I do value defense- I just dont think someone hitting .170 deserves to start every game

6th on the team in OPS and our best 3b

[lamont]

6th on the team in OPS

not in SEC play

[Activated Alpha]

not in SEC play

If we can continue to get production out of Macn, Brown, and Poole as well as get some other guys to step up then I'm fine with LA staying in the game. If he's been swinging with a broken finger then that can explain a lot.

[ScoobaDawg]

I do value defense- I just dont think someone hitting .170 deserves to start every game

How about . 171 instead * * *
