[Bulldog1]

Oh my. Look who’s batting in the 2 hole

[msstate7]

Desperately need a win

[msstate7]

Radar is all over the place. That pitch was not 47 mph

[Bulldog1]

Had out #3, but Skelton couldn’t catch the pitch (it was a low pitch).

[Bulldog1]

Already down 1-0

[msstate7]

I thought small was a mid 90s guy. These reports we get on our pitchers are bogus as hell. He is upper 80s

[MaroonFlounder]

Watching this team is like a kick in the nuts.

[TNDawg35]

This so pathetic. How can we not have a catcher who can block a damn ball and half ass hit!!

[MaroonFlounder]

Skelton can’t hit, but he makes up for it by...

Never mind.

[MaroonFlounder]

55 million dollar stadium, and this is the product on the field.

[msstate7]

Strike out 3 was definitely on Skelton. The pitch that scored the run was on small... Molina might not have blocked that one.

[Bulldog1]

I turned it off. I’m not torturing myself with this garbage they call baseball. A pitiful excuse of a team. Thanks a lot, Cann!

[msstate7]

Hate this in 1st inning

[MaroonFlounder]

Here’s where they tease us by getting guys on base, just to show us how there is not one damn RBI guy in the lineup.

[msstate7]

Come on Allen

[Bulldog1]

Here’s where they tease us by getting guys on base, just to show us how there is not one damn RBI guy in the lineup.

Lol true

[msstate7]

Vansau just cannot get ahead in a count

[msstate7]

Pitch was not a strike

[Bulldog1]

If I’ve ever seen an outside pitch, that was it

[Bulldog1]

Pitch was not a strike

10 freaking feet off the plate

[msstate7]

I watch the Braves like non-stop. Going from watching mlb umps to college is just brutal. College baseball is just a poor product bc of how wild the strike zones are

[Bulldog1]

MLB umps are generally consistent, and College baseball umps are all over the place every inning.

[TNDawg35]

Can we please for the love of god hire a decent hitting coach.

[preachermatt83]

Can we please for the love of god hire a decent hitting coach.

Kentucky can smash. Just sayin

[msstate7]

All I heard this offseason and since small got here is that he has an electric fastball. Where is it? Breaker, breaker, 87, breaker

[msstate7]

THat was a strike. Gotta break

[TNDawg35]

Kentucky can smash. Just sayin

That is true but I'm still not sold on Ming. I want to see a couple yrs of himgetting his guys. I want us to go out and throw huge money at McD or someone of that nature...

[msstate7]

I thought we had more upper shelf arms on this staff. Small is essentially a junk ball guy.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well 7, the good news is that if Small isn't hitting 90 he's not much of a draft risk

[parabrave]

This so pathetic. How can we not have a catcher who can block a damn ball and half ass hit!!

It's a good thing you were not in Biloxi Wed night.

[preachermatt83]

Oh I agree 100 percent

[msstate7]

Well 7, the good news is that if Small isn't hitting 90 he's not much of a draft risk

Really hope the radar is off

[preachermatt83]

What in the world was matt just ranting about when he didn't realize he was on air?!?

[parabrave]

I'm pleased that he has changed the lineup, not everyone can hit cleanup, but why is rowdy still batting 9th? I would put him and hatcher 4 and 5.

[preachermatt83]

We are just awful

[Bulldog1]

We are just awful

No kidding

[TNDawg35]

I'm starting to loose faith in Hendo. Why do constantly run out Vansue and Mac when they can't hit shot and we have a couple guys sitting on the bench who deserve a chance. Put Anderson and Westburg in. To hell with seniority... I'm done... I'm going to try to kill a turkey... or take a nap in the woods... be better than watching this shit show....

Mac has not been starting

[msstate7]

2 on, 0 outs. Stovall, it is time for you to get going

[msstate7]

Stovall is turning in a big dud this season offensively. He was supposed to be one of the guys we lean on

[TNDawg35]

Mac has not been starting

Mac started the other night.

[msstate7]

Mac started the other night.

And when was the previous start?

[msstate7]

Jake has seen 3 pitches today

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

guys we can just look up the numbers- Mac has 31 abs, only Gilbert has less. 7 is right; Mac hasn't been playing much

[Bulldog1]

Jake has seen 3 pitches today

Not good.

[Bulldog1]

Jordan Anderson should be playing. He can’t do any worse than these other guys.

[Todd4State]

Jordan Anderson should be playing. He can’t do any worse than these other guys.

I'm all for this. Even if he sucks at least he would be getting quality AB's and SEC experience. Odds are he is just as good as Vansau right now.

[msstate7]

That was an out, but vansau finally drove a ball to left center. That is where he made his living last season. Good sign

[msstate7]

This is not how I pictured small pitching, but he has been very effective.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

better hope this guy's wild cause we ain't hitting 94 mph

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Not sure he dropped it there, but I'll take it

[msstate7]

better hope this guy's wild cause we ain't hitting 94 mph

We not hitting 84 waist high haha

[msstate7]

Skelton would not start for me again for a while

[HaggardDawg]

Not being able to lay a damn bunt down just cost us a run there

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

It's like performance art the way this team can find ways to strand leadoff men. High level creativity on display every game

[Skydawg1]

LULLZ at that inning. GEEZUS. What the hell did Skelton pull the bat back for on that perfect pitch to bunt??

[msstate7]

Jake has swung at all 6 pitches he has seen today. Enjoy college baseball, Jake. You will never play mlb

[Percho]

May be the dumbest baseball team I have ever seen.

10 runners left on base.

[Bulldog1]

1st and 2nd, nobody out. AND WE DO NOT SCORE? Give me a break. I’m done with this crap.

[I seen it dawg]

Whole thing started bc our ****ing catcher wouldn’t block a third strike. Then we ****ing bunt in the first ****ing Ning when the leadoff guy gets on. **** this ****ing staff. Grow some ****ing nuts and try to win some ****ing games. Make these ****ing players play the game better.

[I seen it dawg]

**** this staff. I see why henderson got ****ing fired from Kentucky. Start over in 2months. ****ing hot muther****ing garbage this bullshit is.

[I seen it dawg]

Stop ****ing bunting you ****ing pussies. And FoamBat dad must make the lineup. Is he gonna be player coach tomorrow?

[Bulldog1]

This right here. This coaching staff is pathetic. Some of you need to realize Henderson is not a good head coach, he’s not a very good pitching coach either. If you’re going to play Cohen-ball, at least be good at it. As for the players, Make plays or ride pine. I’m at the point with this team that I say- Screw it, play all the young guys.

[MaroonFlounder]

23 straight innings without a run scored.

[Bulldog1]

**** this staff. I see why henderson got ****ing fired from Kentucky. Start over in 2months. ****ing hot muther****ing garbage this bullshit is.

That’s it. Henderson didn’t get fired because he’s ugly, he got fired because he is a ***** baseball coach.

[MaroonFlounder]

Great outing by Small. It sucks to be a MSU starting pitcher on the weekend. No run support. I hope tomorrow gets rained out.

Hatcher 1b Stovall 2b westburg SS foscue 3b Allen lf Mangum cf Rowdey rf. Anderson vansau DH Gilbert c

Who can we put at 2nd if we move Stovall to C? We have got to get Gilbert/Skelton off the field. Horrible catchers, and horrible hitters.

[I seen it dawg]

Yeah I’ve muther****ing had it. Bunting in the ****** first inning is worse than hitting FoamBat 2nd. Pilk and small pitching their ass off and we don’t even try to have any offense. I’m here this wkd and it’s ****** embarrassing what our staff is putting in the field. So ****ing mad i left today. I hope i see Cann before i leave town.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Hatcher 1b Stovall 2b westburg SS foscue 3b Allen lf Mangum cf Rowdey rf. Anderson vansau DH Gilbert c

The fact is I don't think any lineup of our players will score runs. We are a lost cause. I agree though we should play Fr as much as possible though

[Todd4State]

Who can we put at 2nd if we move Stovall to C? We have got to get Gilbert/Skelton off the field. Horrible catchers, and horrible hitters.

Either Allen or Rowdey probably in that in order if I had to guess. Westburg could probably play there too.

[I seen it dawg]

Well since muther****ing FoamBat makes the lineup apparently he can go play 2nd. But i wouldn’t move Stovall. Let’s see if Gilbert will try to block pitchers.

I'm glad I missed the early part of the game or my wife would gave kicked be out of the house by new.

[Todd4State]

Our hitters look like they haven't been coached at all. That falls on Cann and his side whore piece.

[I seen it dawg]

I’m not trying to have an offensive juggernaut I’m just trying to try. Let these young guys get their ass whipped at the plate and learn and play. And not bunt in the bottom of the muther****ing first with our 2hole

[msstate7]

Hatcher 1b Stovall 2b westburg SS foscue 3b Allen lf Mangum cf Rowdey rf. Anderson vansau DH Gilbert c

We have 10 hits on the weekend, Alexander has 3 with the only extra base hit. Nice call, clown

I’m laughing at this.

Dry them eyes, buttercup. Suck it up

[Todd4State]

Thanks but to be honest I don't know that there are any right answers with this team as far as the hitters go. We have a ton of freshmen and most of the upperclassmen are trying to do too much to compensate. There is no power whatsoever and even worse our old coach was more concerned with rapping with Bob Carskadon and his sidepiece girlfriend.

[msstate7]

Alexander has hit in 7 of last 8 games BTW

I just don’t think it can be any worse. Can you? I mean we haven’t scored a run in 23 INNINGS!

[Todd4State]

No, I don't think it can get worse either since we can't score negative runs. LOL.

I seen it I've been a big fan of yours on here, but that's way too far. telling an other poster to "go **** yourself" because he doesn't agree with you that we should bench a guy that's been pulling his weight recently should result in a ban.

I get you are pissed. That doesn't excuse this behavior in my opinion. Debate 7 or stfu, but a dfference in oppinion over the lineup isn't a justification to namecall and insult

[msstate7]

Maybe this wkd FoamBat will get over 235. Mr. Clutch

.253 thank you

[I seen it dawg]

Here’s a solution. Since FoamBat is Ted Williams right now let him DH and put Allen and westburg on the field.

Best you roll on out of this one. Long time feud. No need you to roll in and police things.

[I seen it dawg]

Oh and top of 8 still 1-0

[preachermatt83]

Absolutely embarrassing

[Bulldog1]

1st and 2nd, 1 out with the middle of the lineup up- Did we score? NO! This is getting old, fast.

[msstate7]

We have blown 1st and 2nd 0 outs and a leadoff double the last 2 innings. Vandy has 3 errors and we still cannot score

[I seen it dawg]

Gordon first pitch single on his first pitch. Great.

[msstate7]

Gordon first pitch single on his first pitch. Great.

Actually surprised a hitter would do that. Cole has the worst walk rate I have ever seen. 12 walks in 14.1 innings

And I don't want to hear anything about LA if you aren't going to talk about our C position first.

[confucius say]

O/U: 10 SEC WINS?

Pilk and Small will give us a shot to get the over. Think they gave up a combined three earned over 12 this weekend.

[MarketingBully]

Has Henderson just said screw it I’m not going to get the job anyway so I’m just going to collect a pay check? Looks that way and is highly disappointing. We have no good approach at the plate and our lineup doesn’t look like it puts us in the best chance to win which makes sense we would struggle scoring runs.

Sure looks that way. Sad.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Gordon seems to be less wild than last year, but it seems like every strike he throws now gets hit easily whereas last year he was good when on. I'ts like he's gotten more consistent but less precise with his location. It also seems like his FB lost 2 mph from last year's 91, but that could just be my memory being off. Either way, we were duped to think he'd be a legit SEC pitcher

[confucius say]

I thought we would go with France over Gordon.

And I don't want to hear anything about LA if you aren't going to talk about our C position first.

No kidding. For the love of man put Stovall behind the plate already and get westburg or Anderson in the lineup. They cannot be worse than Gilbert/Skelton offensively.

Gordon has a good era but it is fools gold. His walk rate is abysmal... I would try to avoid him in leverage situations.

Correct

[msstate7]

Our best catcher and infielder plays 2nd base.

It is beyond time to try him at catcher then. Stovall really needs to pick it up with the bat too. He should be one of go to guys offensively, but he just cannot get going

Kind of like a train wreck, you don't really want to watch but you can't turn away. Only MState could have the HC fired for sexual misconduct AND put this kind of low quality product on the field all in the same year we are opening college's finest ballpark. MSU baseball just can't seem to get out of its own way.

I saw them in person in Houston. They'll have ups and downs this year. In all honesty despite the melting we will probably be the same on a lesser scale- like Houston was an up for us and we're down right now.

Was channel surfing around to several SEC games and it is just plain obvious every SEC team has players taller and bigger than us. And they have muscles! Perennially lowly BAMA, UGA, and TENN all look like bigger and better clubs than us. KY has a pitching staff that rivals their basketball team.....6'11" / 6'9" / 6'7 / 6'5" and they rip the cover off the ball with Luke Becker and Tristan Pompey. Every SEC team has at least 2 or more pitchers as good as Pilkington. We may be lucky to win 3-5 SEC games this year. This is so sad. The once great SEC program waddling in the bottom of the barrel. And Vandy lost all 3 of their games in Houston Classic where we won all 3. Go figure!

[msstate7]

I'm not sure what the infatuation is with some MSU fans and the height of our players is. Kentucky got ripped this weekend by Arkansas. You don't want tall middle infielders usually unless it's an exception like a Cal Ripken. Stovall and Skelton are really the only players that I would consider short for their position- and I can certainly live with a second baseman being 5'8".

If you look up the height and weight of our players I think you would find that this is more perception than reality. And again- freshmen are not going to be as developed and filled out as another teams juniors and seniors.

[Pit Bull]

Our freshmen are showing they are indeed freshmen. Keep playing them, but this is gonna be a rough year for them

Play them anyway. Gotta see which ones are our future. This year and maybe next is already blown so it doesn't matter.

[Coursesuper]

and 12 position players. This goes WAY deeper than Henderson folks.

Someday when y'all are able to see thru all the bull shat propaganda you will see what the real problem is.

Length doesn’t always equal power hitting. I know some tall baseball players that couldn’t hit a beach ball with a 10 foot light pole

[RezDog7]

Maybe we should fire the hitting coach.

[Pit Bull]

I'm not sure what the infatuation is with some MSU fans and the height of our players is. Kentucky got ripped this weekend by Arkansas.

I like Gorilla Ball.....not Mouse Ball.

We should fire the whole staff. They won’t be here after this year anyways.

Acuna is listed at 6? 180 lbs, and has mega power

Yea, I’m saying just because you’re tall doesn’t mean you can smash.

Yeah, I followed you. Just saying acuna is little, but a power house. I watched him in Mississippi and did not think he would generate that kind of power

Ok. That question mark made me think you were saying something else lol. I realized the question mark was your “ sign.

another position player that would start for any other SEC West team. We're atleast two years away from being decent in this league.

Now ask yourself exactly why that is.

[Saltydog]

Kind of like a train wreck, you don't really want to watch but you can't turn away. Only MState could have the HC fired for sexual misconduct AND put this kind of low quality product on the field all in the same year we are opening college's finest ballpark. MSU baseball just can't seem to get out of its own way.

This is the TRUEST damn thing written on this board in a while. #typicalMSU

Cohen

[Saltydog]

from last year and we know why but even said he didn't inherit shit from Cohen. If it wasn't for Rooker and Gridley last year we would've been horrible. Rooker absolutely carried that team on his back the first half of the year.

Self, price, pilk, and Cody Brown were really good too. Jake hit .324. Vansau hit .297. Stovall was better last season.

Didn't Cohen leave him Rooker and Gridley? And Cody Brown?

I blame Cohen for recruiting too many JUCO's and the fact that we have to start so many freshmen because he couldn't balance the classes out or identify who would go pro as well as we needed him to.

[Todd4State]

A lot of that is because of who they had hitting around them in the lineup. Mangum and Stovall didn't have to carry the team because their job was to get on base and let Rooker drive them in. Cody Brown was a good leader who was a fifth year senior which is something this team sorely lacks. Gridley was good too obviously. Vansau was a role player and now we're asking him to hit clean up. We had more roster flexibility with Brown and Mangum to where we could mix and match Vansau and MacNamee better. Lovelady wasn't a great hitter but he was a good leader.

[Saltydog]

this year

[Todd4State]

this year

Yes we do. I had reservations about him and Gilbert that appear to be true.

[Saltydog]

first baseman that has hardly touched the field this year, if at all. That's a huge miss at a critical position that requires a good stick with some pop.

[RocketDawg]

We evened things up with Vanderbilt though ... women's tennis won 4-0.

Skelton and Gilbert make Lovelady look like damn Johnny bench

One thing I will say about our team...they must be hung like a horse because they sure are managing to step on their dick an awful lot.

[Percho]

I'm asking you. Why is that?
