Baseball game thread vs NMSU...

[Dawg61]

cause nobody can figure out which other thread is the game thread I started this one. Post or merge accordingly. 1-1 b1

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Hatcher

[SailingDawg]

What's the crowd look like?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bunch of rednecks and some "ladies" that shouldn't be wearing yoga pants.

[Dawg61]

Dude was safe as ****. Nice call blue

[Bulldog1]

Dude was safe as ****. Nice call blue

Yea, surprised no argument by coach

[Dawg61]

I don't understand the space in between the brick and the Dudy Noble Field sign with all the black poles?? Can someone explain that to me please.

[msstate7]

Got some good looking freshmen

[Dallas_Dawg]

Tanner F?n Poole. Yeah I said it

[Dawg61]

3-1 State t3

[Liverpooldawg]

I don't understand the space in between the brick and the Dudy Noble Field sign with all the black poles?? Can someone explain that to me please.

Are you talking about behind the plate? If so that's the Dugout Club. I don't think it's finished yet. It's the same as the Gridiron Club at Davis Wade.

[Homedawg]

Right behind the plate? That's the dugout club or whatever they call it. Have lockers underneath. Just like the gridiron for football. Cool concept.

[Liverpooldawg]

I saw on Twitter where they made Hobie take down his Carnegie Hall sign.

[RocketDawg]

I saw on Twitter where they made Hobie take down his Carnegie Hall sign.

Why? Did it look sloppy? Is that part of the left field lounge cleanup?

[Coach34]

FoamBat is down to .186

AND HE BATS 5TH

[msstate7]

FoamBat is down to .186

AND HE BATS 5TH

2 hard hit balls and an rbi. His BABIP is right at .250 on the year. That is terribly unlucky.

[msstate7]

Marsh velocity down to low 80s.

[Dawg61]

Ok I see it now, yea isn't finished but looks like it's the best seat in the house once finished. Hope it's finished soon. Reminds me a little bit of Dodger stadium but can't see the seats yet. I am assuming there will be nice leather like big seats there? Anyone confirm

[bulldogcountry1]

He has hit the ball hard both times.

Offensive production from the catching position is what is concerning. Skelton Kd on fastballs right over the plate on both ABs.

[msstate7]

I think marsh is done. Velocity way down

[msstate7]

Lol @ K on that pitch. That was a BP fastball

[BHildreth3]

maybe it's just me but the lighting is awful compared to other facilities

[msstate7]

maybe it's just me but the lighting is awful compared to other facilities

I switched over to OM game a min, and it looked a 100 times better.

[Liverpooldawg]

Don't know.

I think it's going to be like the Gridiron, standing only.

[BHildreth3]

agreed I was doing the same thing. I don't know shit about stadium lighting but I have always thought ours were not as bright as other stadiums, including football.

[Dawg61]

I think it's going to be like the Gridiron, standing only.

This is interesting. Will be so easy to **** with the opposing pitcher.

[bulldogcountry1]

Somewhere, Josh Beckett is saying, "This pitcher is slow as hell."

[msstate7]

Come on Hatcher... pick up that run

[bulldogcountry1]

Why? Did it look sloppy? Is that part of the left field lounge cleanup?

I imagine it obstructed the view of others.

[mparkerfd20]

Hatcher Ks too much. He's a freshman tho so that will improve.

[Bully13]

The live stats over on Hail State is fantastic.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I think marsh is done. Velocity way down

He allowed 1 run to a good hitting team. Thought he did well

[Bully13]

back to back drops on strike outs forcing the catcher to throw to 1st?

[msstate7]

He allowed 1 run to a good hitting team. Thought he did well

He was outstanding. Just kinda run out of gas. That last K was on a pitch that should have been pummeled. Marsh did a great job tonight though

[mparkerfd20]

If Denver can keep doing that we are extremely dangerous.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Say what you want about McQuary but he has swag. Love the staredown after K'ing that guy. Like Ive said before, you want whiskey drinkers not milk drinkers.

[Bully13]

lead off walk. what's the % increase to score when that happens?

[BeardoMSU]

Like Ive said before, you want whiskey drinkers not milk drinkers.

Love that analogy. I'm borrowing it.

[Bully13]

atta boy Stovall

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Nice at-bat, Stovall

[MarketingBully]

Dan McDonnell Cohen. Go get him!

https://twitter.com/kendallrogers/status/971204944597606400?s=21

[BuckyIsAB****]

This team gonna be ok I believe. I would stick with this lineup if I were Henderson. Mac and Vansau just havent done enough for me to play them over the young guys.

Those 4 freshman are pretty good now and gonna be damn good by the time they leave. We could be dangerous by tourney time if we keep playing

[MarketingBully]

I'm with you on this

[BuckyIsAB****]

If anyone deserves a nickname its Tanner Poole. The Killa K

[msstate7]

Poole has had some tough strike calls on him tonight

[BuckyIsAB****]

Poole has had some tough strike calls on him tonight

Hes really good on D too but damn I bet he K's 3 out of 5 AB's

[Bully13]

damn, their pitcher has given up 11 runs in 6 innings pitched. 16.5 ERA

[Dawg61]

It's 9-1 b7 State

[Coach34]

Dan McDonnell Cohen. Go get him!

https://twitter.com/kendallrogers/status/971204944597606400?s=21

zero chance

[Coach34]

Poole will outhit FoamBat just as he did last season

[Dawg61]

zero chance

Lol at the Showalter and Girardi comments

[Bulldog1]

Lol at the Showalter and Girardi comments

Thought that was funny myself haha!

[MarketingBully]

zero chance

He has interest and Jurich who he was loyal to is gone. This to me is the best time to go after him. He built Louisville as high as they can go. He would win a Natty here. I’d go after him and put together a package that would be hard to say no to.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We just keep chopping wood, I like it

[MarketingBully]

I love all these State fans saying zero chance of getting elite head coaches here. This is easily a Top 10 job especially with the facilities and fan base and the AD being a former baseball coach. I guess it’s the natural pessimism of some of you people that you can’t fathom us getting an elite coach. Well, I think you will be very surprised at who we end up with. When Kendall says elite he’s meaning elite.

Stop thinking about the ballpark and fans and ask yourself if there's 10 other programs you'd trade baseball history with.

[Coach34]

He has interest

Link? Where did he say this? There has literally been nothing to this

[confucius say]

Stop thinking about the ballpark and fans and ask yourself if there's 10 other programs you'd trade baseball history with.

Not sure what you are getting at, but you cannot just ignore the resources we have. They are huge in recruiting. Add to that our history of winning and you have one of the elite jobs in college baseball.

[MarketingBully]

Link? Where did he say this? There has literally been nothing to this

Why would this be on the record? That’s just like saying Tim Corbin has no interest because you can’t find a link to it. Jurich was who McDonnell was loyal to and now he’s gone and they currently have an interim AD in place. Like I said, Kendall has his sources and you might be surprised who has interest. With the list of candidates interested in this job, it would be extremely hard for Cohen to screw it up.

i think we will make a great hire in baseball. But it’s not going to be McD and he is not interested. He has it made where he is coaching at a program better than ours making more money than we have ever paid someone. He is not coming to Sville and has no interest.

McD is Louisville baseball- who the AD becomes is insignificant

Saying Louisvile is a better program than ours is like saying our football program is better than Floridas bc we?ve been better than fla lately. The only reason Louisviles program is worth a crap is McD.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I said the same thing the other day

[Thick]

I agree, Louisville program is not better then ours.

[Coach34]

Well- they 4 CWS appearances in the last 11 years to our 2.

They are a perennial top 10 team- we aren’t

Its not 1985 anymore. We have made it to the CWS 4 times in the last 21 years. Only State fans think we are a top 10 program. We aren’t Louisville today

[Todd4State]

I don't know who Kendall was referring to- but I do think his tweet is a VERY good sign. Especially because while I don't think Kendall hates us or anything like that- I think he kind of likes us- he has no reason to pander to us.

[MarketingBully]

I said the same thing the other day

They’re whole history is him. If he came here, he’d win a national title. He has recruiting roots here he can tie back into. He’d keep our recruiting class together. It’s not that far fetched that we could get him. If we were going after an elite coach such as McDonnell, we would put together a very appealing package. Let’s just say that the uncertainty there works in our favor.

[MarketingBully]

Well- they 4 CWS appearances in the last 11 years to our 2.

It’s because of McDonnell not because of Louisville.

Well, Alabama wasn't a top 10 program in 2006 either. Things can change very quickly with one hire. The past 10 years we had to deal with the 2008 Polk tantrum all year long followed up by two years of rebuilding. Louisville didn't- and McDonnell took over their program when it was in pretty good shape. Not to mention we had to deal with the entire Polk II era which I think was the worst decision in MSU baseball history. Although I think Cann is giving him a run for his money.

One thing about Louisville- even if he wins National Titles there it will always been a basketball school followed by football.

[Coach34]

that doesn’t matter. Florida wasn’t Florida before Steve Spurrier- but he built them into what they became.
There is no uncertainty at Louisville- because the new AD damn sure isn’t going to **** with baseball- they have made 3 CWS appearances in the last 5 years. ****ing with baseball would only help get the new AD fired. He will go above and beyond to make sure baseball isn’t a problem.

Louisville > Miss State in 2018- that’s just life

[Dawg61]

Not sure what you are getting at, but you cannot just ignore the resources we have. They are huge in recruiting. Add to that our history of winning and you have one of the elite jobs in college baseball.

Sure you can ignore the ballpark and the fans because that's exactly how the rest of the country judges baseball programs on. Success on the field. That's it so I will ask the question again. Is there 10 other programs you would trade history with?

[MarketingBully]

If you consider an interim AD who will be replaced in six months their AD then yeah they have an AD.

[MarketingBully]

They even hired a loser search firm for their AD search....

[MarketingBully]

They are losing big money donors too. Sounds like an Athletic Department on solid ground. Also since Jurich was let go, Bobby Petrino’s buyout is gone. Wouldn’t surprise me if he tried to bolt after this year either.

[Coach34]

yep

LSU
USC
Texas
South Carolina
Vanderbilt
Miami
Fla State
Louisville
Arizons State
Arkansas
Cal State Fullerton
Oregon State
Florida
NC
Rice
Virginia

all have a title or more appearances in the CWS in the last 20 years than us

[Coach34]

Petrino ain’t Leaving- nobody values him like Louisville does
McD ain’t Leaving- he is the trophy coach of that program. He is untouchable

You have lost it

[ShotgunDawg]

I agree, Louisville program is not better then ours.

Depends on how you define "program"...

If you consider the "program" as an inference to what happens between the lines: like recruiting, player development, stability, etc,, then Louisville absolutely has a better program than MSU in the same way that MSU's football program is better than Tennessee or Florida's football program currently.

If you define "program" as describing the resources, passion, facilities, & tradition of a program: than no, Louisville does not have a better baseball program than MSU in the same way that regardless of how many games we win or how many players MSU sends to the NFL, MSU's football program is not as good as Tennessee's or Florida's.

MSU must become more stable & consistent with more reliable player development if we are truly to return to being a great program.

Again....how much of that is McD. I think he would come. I think we should make everybody who has an elite guy pay him or lose him to us.

Like you said its not 1985 anymore. Its time to act like it

[Coach34]

Again....how much of that is McD. I think he would come. I think we should make everybody who has an elite guy pay him or lose him to us.

A) it doesn’t matter how much of it is McD? What matters is that HS baseball players know that Louisville is a top 10 program and that we arent

B) In 1985 we were a top 10 program. We aren’t now. I wish it was 1985 so we could dominate again. We got the top player out of Miami and the top player out of NOLA in 1982. We won’t ever do that again

[BuckyIsAB****]

HS baseball players also know we have done well recently and have the best stadium, fanbase, and put players in the MLB.

They know a guy just won a triple crown and we are the only school to have a guy do it. Twice. Stop shitting on your own program man. We can compete with LVille and anyone else.

Why not? Tell me why we cant get an elite coach? Everybody who is anybody says we are swinging for the fences. Why cant you?

[Coach34]

We will get a damn good coach. We just won’t steal one from a top 10 program

[TNDawg35]

Kendall Rogers tweeted last night that we had caught interest from a couple elite coaches.

[confucius say]

So we are a better program and job than tenn in football bc we?ve won more and been to bowl games while they have not the last decade? Awesome!!

Don’t we have the no.1 hitting prospect in the country for one of the upcoming classes committed to us?

[ShotgunDawg]

Kendall Rogers tweeted last night that we had caught interest from a couple elite coaches.

Of course they are. We are the reason half the coaches in the country will get raises this year.

[Liverpooldawg]

Very interesting from you in this thread 34. Very interesting.

[Coach34]

Of course they are. We are the reason half the coaches in the country will get raises this year.

Exactly

[Ari Gold]

We will get a damn good coach. We just won’t steal one from a top 10 program

This is why everyone needs to realize Mig and Butch won’t be on the short list.
And I’m not totally convinced a big time coach wouldn’t leave to come here.

[Coach34]

Here is what some people dont get:

Most coaches aren't leaving great jobs in Louisville, Kentucky...Nashville, Tenn...Fort Worth, Texas- to coach baseball in Mississippi- Starkville or Oxford
