LSU game

[parabrave]

JM gets going, double off the bat.

[I seen it dawg]

Great job Foambat. What a terrible ****ing at bat. Inexcusable for a junior to have that kind of an at bat.

[Coach34]

awful AB by FoamBat- holy shit how do you hit this guy 2-hole?

[preachermatt83]

FoamBat embarrasses himself. Can't get a bunt down and then looks flat out silly swinging at the slider.

[Bulldog1]

1 job- move the runner over. Fail.

[msstate7]

First of all, Luke you have to get bunt down if you are asked to do it... terrible AB. Why in the world do you bunt a runner from 2nd to 3rd in the 1st inning though? God, college baseball can be such a terrible product

[I seen it dawg]

Delluci shut the **** up you are terrible.

[I seen it dawg]

Good at bat by Allen. Much more mature than Foambat

[Coach34]

First of all, Luke you have to get bunt down if you are asked to do it... terrible AB. Why in the world do you bunt a runner from 2nd to 3rd in the 1st inning though? God, college baseball can be such a terrible product

I agree its dumb as **** to bunt in the 1st inning- but FoamBat not bunting that 2nd pitch down the middle ended the AB for him. When he is 0-2- he is done

[Bulldog1]

Yep, I don’t understand trying to give the pitcher a out right there in the 1st inning.

[I seen it dawg]

Delluci says it’s a remarkable transition for Hess and he’s been dogshit as a starter. Stupid to keep h8m in Friday night slot bc he’s a closer. LSU pitching equates to our hitting.

[msstate7]

I agree its dumb as **** to bunt in the 1st inning- but FoamBat not bunting that 2nd pitch down the middle ended the AB for him. When he is 0-2- he is done

I completely agree.

[Bulldog1]

I am against this team bunting at all, because they’ve proven time after time they can’t lay them down. There is 1 or 2 that can lay one down, but no more. If you’re going to try to play small ball, at least be good at the basics.

[I seen it dawg]

Man on 2nd no one out and we will get shit because our 2 hole hitter has a horrendously unproductive at bat. That’s the kind of shit with the season a rebuilding one you jerk his ass out of the game to send a message. ****ing pussies for a staff

[I seen it dawg]

Hess is ****ing garbage as a starter and we get shit. Leadoff double by Mangum wasted.

[preachermatt83]

Why do I even watch this crap

[Bulldog1]

Off to a great start*** What a shame

[Leroy Jenkins]

Everyone on this team needs a freshman 15. Looks like we have never heard of a strength program. I miss gorilla ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Back to no stones program. This coaching staff is the worst. Babying all these ****ing guys bc they had some major adversity. Nobody in our program has any ****ing stones it looks like.

[preachermatt83]

Yup. What do you have to lose by benching him and saying "learn to lay a bunt down or stay on the bench".

[msstate7]

The p*ssy move was asking a kid to bunt in the first inning. Alexander fricked it though fo sho.

[Coach34]

I'm watching because I enjoy watching a good pitcher- so I wanna see Pilk pitch well

[Ari Gold]

That’s ****ing selfish from Belmont. Kid didn’t want to bunt.
Agree or disagree with bunting there doesn’t matter.
if he does his job it’s 1-0
And Pilk is capable of throwing a shutout.
Players in the dugout should have ripped his asshole. And I hope it was Pilk.

[msstate7]

Back to no stones program. This coaching staff is the worst. Babying all these ****ing guys bc they had some major adversity. Nobody in our program has any ****ing stones it looks like.

Name 1 coach ever to pull a kid in the 1st inning for failing to get a bunt down.

[Bulldog1]

[Coach34]

I so enjoy seeing the oldass jerseys we are wearing.

[Bulldog1]

I won’t be surprised if Pilk ends up with a sub 2.00 ERA, and have 7 or 8 losses

[Coach34]

Name 1 coach ever to pull a kid in the 1st inning for failing to get a bunt down.

I've never known a coach dumb enough to bunt in the 1st inning until Cohen and Henderson

[msstate7]

I've never known a coach dumb enough to bunt in the 1st inning until Cohen and Henderson

It is so stupid

[Ari Gold]

It is so stupid

Maybe so . But if he gets the bunt down it’s 1-0

[Coach34]

You NEVER let a pitcher off the hook early on by giving him outs- thats Baseball 101

[Coach34]

Maybe so . But if he gets the bunt down it’s 1-0

true- but playing for 1 run in the 1st inning is moronic. I get your point- but doing it in the 1st inning is insane. It's Little League baseball bullshit

[confucius say]

I won’t be surprised if Pilk ends up with a sub 2.00 ERA, and have 7 or 8 losses

1-3 with a 1.82 era right now v

[msstate7]

Maybe so . But if he gets the bunt down it’s 1-0

Oh I am not taking up for Alexander there. He has to do whatever the coach says even if it dumb as hell

[Bulldog1]

You NEVER let a pitcher off the hook early on by giving him outs- thats Baseball 101

I don’t disagree with you, but let’s look at it this way: LA is batting 2nd. Do you trust him to get a hit more, or move Mangum over for Tanner Allen. And if that’s the case, some blame goes on Henderson. If you can’t trust your 2 hole batter in that AB, you’ve messed the lineup up.

[Bulldog1]

Where’s that pitch at?

[Coach34]

I would never bat a guy 7th on the team in batting average 2nd in the line-up....so I think Henderson is ****ing up from the get go

[msstate7]

Maybe Henderson goes by sec only stats where Alexander is 3rd on team and leader in slugging %

[confucius say]

Damn Vansau. Catch the damn ball.

[msstate7]

Pilk is amazingly talented, but he just cannot work quick innings.

[Bulldog1]

It’ll be tough to overcome this deficit.

[msstate7]

It’ll be tough to overcome this deficit.

1 run will be tough

[RocketDawg]

It’ll be tough to overcome this deficit.

Ha. I figured they were ahead by 7 or 8 runs when I saw your post, then turned over to the game to see it's only 1-0.

But based on what I've read here so far, you're right ... it'll be hard to overcome. :)

[msstate7]

I feel sorry for college hitters. Ump is calling a strike on a ball 10 inches off the plate on outside corner. He is calling on both teams though... still terrible, and nothing a hitter can do with that pitch

[Bulldog1]

Down 2-0 now. It’s over

[msstate7]

Everyone says they feel sorry for pilk, but pilk has an sec only era over 4 now. Feel sorry for small... his sec era is barely over 1. Small is our best starter

[Coach34]

Maybe Henderson goes by sec only stats where Alexander is 3rd on team and leader in slugging %

That would make me very sad because its easy to see FoamBat is a .240 career SEC hitter at best

[Bulldog1]

Screw this. This is killing all the good vibes I got from the braves winning. I am going to watch dodgers-giants. You guys watching this, please do not try to hurt yourself

[Bulldog1]

So MacNamee is 5/13 with a 556 OBP%, yet he’s on the bench.

[Bulldog1]

Screw this. This is killing all the good vibes I got from the braves winning. I am going to watch dodgers-giants. You guys watching this, please do not try to hurt yourself

On Directv, you get all the baseball games for like a week. I’m turning those on, then I’m going to rewatch the Braves game. I can’t handle this anymore.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Y'all prolly right you should go watch MLB regular season baseball. I mean theres only 1000000000 more games till the playoffs. You guys suck as state fans****

[Coach34]

Jesus FoamBat that is so bad

[Bulldog1]

Y'all prolly right you should go watch MLB regular season baseball. I mean theres only 1000000000 more games till the playoffs. You guys suck as state fans****

At least the Braves won.

[maroonmania]

Tonight we go for our 12th straight game of scoring 5 runs or less against any non-SWAC school. We are well on our way!!!

[msstate7]

Y'all prolly right you should go watch MLB regular season baseball. I mean theres only 1000000000 more games till the playoffs. You guys suck as state fans****

Up until Tuesday night vs Nichols state, I had not missed 1 men sport game in over 4 years. This is just depressing.

[HoopsDawg]

What a weird decision to pinch hit Foscue for Westburg. Someone explain that to me.

[Mutt the Hoople]

Foambats and soy estrogen diet.

[dawgoneyall]

That was not a difficult pitch and to take it.....damn

[Cloak]

How do you go down looking there.. come on Foscue

[msstate7]

What a weird decision to pinch hit Foscue for Westburg. Someone explain that to me.

You did not like it? Lol

[msstate7]

That was not a difficult pitch and to take it.....damn

That is what happens when you do not hit for like 7 straight games

[HoopsDawg]

How do you go down looking there.. come on Foscue

agree, but he hasn't gotten an AB in a month. If you like his bat more than Westburg, then why did you start Westburg? Plus Westburg had gotten 2 AB's already vs Hess. That was a dumb ass decision.

[Bulldog1]

What a weird decision to pinch hit Foscue for Westburg. Someone explain that to me.

Questioning the HOFer Henderson***

[HoopsDawg]

You did not like it? Lol

Henderson baffles more than any manager I've ever followed closely. And I like Foscue. I think Allen should be starting in LF over Rowdey and Foscue should be our DH. It's driven me crazy that Foscue hasn't been playing. And then all of the sudden you decide to let him pinch hit for Westburg. I mean what.. the...fck.

[confucius say]

Everyone says they feel sorry for pilk, but pilk has an sec only era over 4 now. Feel sorry for small... his sec era is barely over 1. Small is our best starter

Yea but pilk has had another good outing. Two runs through six innings. And if Vansau catches the damn ball that hit him in the glove, it?s only one run.

[msstate7]

Pilk just really frustrates me bc he is very talented, but tries to be so dang fine. He tries to make perfect pitches and runs up this pitch count. Wish he would attack more. Trust his stuff, and give us 7 innings every week

[confucius say]

True. Kinda understandable though. With our horrible offense, you know he feels like if he gives up 2 runs it?s over.

[confucius say]

Run Jordan here. If he is thrown out, Mangum leads off the 8th

[dawgoneyall]

Are these guys calling the game paid by LSU.
Damn Pilk pitching a very good game, and only a ball that was should have been easily caught, we are tied. But the bastard's son gets all the acclaim.

[Ari Gold]

Everyone says they feel sorry for pilk, but pilk has an sec only era over 4 now. Feel sorry for small... his sec era is barely over 1. Small is our best starter

No he isn’t...

[confucius say]

Every time I see Henderson about to make a decision, I?m like, oh hell.

[Bulldog1]

Down 3-1

[msstate7]

86 mph waist high middle of plate

[MaroonFlounder]

Ballgame

[HoopsDawg]

if Henderson bet on red and black in roulette, it would land on green. How do you leave in Pilk there at 100 pitches to face the righty who has already homered off of him?

And I don't think his bunt or hit and run calls have worked all year..

[confucius say]

It sucks that every time we give up a run it just seems insurmountable. Damn Cohen.

[MaroonFlounder]

Why wear out Pilkington’s arm on a game we can’t win?

[Bulldog1]

Down 4-1

[msstate7]

86 mph waist high middle of plate

Again

[Skydawg1]

**** you hendo

[MaroonFlounder]

Go find a JUCO backstop. These guys suck

[HoopsDawg]

4 runs for LSU and 3 of them are on Henderson for A) not starting Mac over Vansau in RF and B) not pulling Pilk for the righty when my 9 year old could have made that decision.

[Skydawg1]

Whew...Pilk was PISSED walking into that dugout. I would be too. **** these "teammates"...worthless.

[Cooterpoot]

So are y’all saying we can scratch Heno off the list?

[MaroonFlounder]

Pilk may not get another win the rest of the year

[Bulldog1]

Paul Maneri is having a hay day tonight.

[Bothrops]

Wanna beat these guys, gotta make that huge splash hire.

[Bulldog1]

Just black out the broadcast. This is embarrassing to even be on tv

[msstate7]

Hatcher gotta dig that.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, big league play from LA, but Hatcher couldn't make the play.

[Bulldog1]

Hatcher gotta dig that.

Yep. Nice job by LA, Hatcher just couldn’t finish it.

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf are we doing. Leaving Pilk to pitch around Watson was the play to get to the LH hitter. And we call a ****ing fastball to Watson and ruin what we are trying to do. Now it?s a big inning bc we didn?t do elementary situational pitching. So ****ing frustrating what our staff is doing. We aren?t holding ourselves accountable as a staff and therefore not holding players accountable. This is hot ****ing garbage.

[Bulldog1]

Henderson should feel obligated to run foul poles each practice for just being stupid.

[msstate7]

Pilk sec games...
18.1 ip 9 er era = 4.48

[Cloak]

Wrote out a big paragraph but deleted it to just summarize.

- 17 you Cann

[Bulldog1]

And we bring in Liebelt? The guy with an 11.88 ERA in conference play? REALLY?

[msstate7]

And we bring in Liebelt? The guy with an 11.88 ERA in conference play? REALLY?

[Bulldog1]

GET HIM OUT.

[Cloak]

Game is over, why waste any talent. 5 run deficit is like 30 to this team

[HoopsDawg]

Horseshit. We have 8 arms that we can use on an SEC weekend.

[Bulldog1]

It’s over, I agree. But this dude is awful. Henderson left Pilk in too long. And that cost us this game.

[chef dixon]

How are any of you still watching this team?

[Bulldog1]

Only down 9-1**

[preachermatt83]

Gary henderson is an absolute joke.

[HoopsDawg]

Horseshit. We have 8 arms that we can use on an SEC weekend.

9 if you count Self. We have Pilk, Small, France, Billingsley, Blake Smith, James, Neff, Self and Gordon. No other pitcher should touch the rubber in an SEC game.

[MSSTATESEEYA]

So hard to watch. Baseball season is my favorite time of year. Doesn't even look like a MSU Baseball Team. Something needs to be done now. If I watch this shitshow all year my heart might explode. Get off your ass and do something Cohen.

[HoopsDawg]

Gary henderson is an absolute joke.

We all realize we aren't very good this year. But a competent manager and this is a 2-1 game, maybe 2-2.

[Bulldog1]

Gary henderson is an absolute joke.

There’s a reason he was fired from Kentucky. He’s clueless

[preachermatt83]

Hatcher has looked like a little leaguer all not.

[Bothrops]

Cancel the season!!! Do it... now!!!

[preachermatt83]

We all realize we aren't very good this year. But a competent manager and this is a 2-1 game, maybe 2-2.

Exactly.

[MaroonFlounder]

When you have to start this many Freshmen, you end up with guys at the plate in key situations that can’t deliver against the top SEC pitchers. It is what it is. Play for next year. This year is done.

[maroonmania]

Cancel the season!!! Do it... now!!!

Given we have to start over with a new coach at the end of the year anyway I would actually be in favor of this.

[confucius say]

Only move I agreed with. Once they went up 4-1, it was over. Save better arms for tomorrow

Hindu had leibelt up ready to go when it was 2-1 with Watson due up. Nobody else was warming up. So it?s not like it was some smart decision to go to leibelt once the game was decided.

[confucius say]

This whole shitshow is embarrassing. I look forward to baseball season all year and it?s over for us before April. So frustrating.

You better fix this Cohen. This is why you do not take no from an answer from a big time coach. Get it done.

[msstate7]

Hindu had leibelt up ready to go when it was 2-1 with Watson due up. Nobody else was warming up.

Strange move then. Henderson fell for the fools gold that Liebelt 0.00 era in sec play was then. Although Liebelt had not given up an ER in sec play, his whip was 2.38 and BAA was .417. I thought Liebelt was a white flag once it got to 4-1

[Activated Alpha]

Calling it now. Missouri win will be the only SEC win this team will have

If henderson is just gonna run this sh!t show in the ground, Id rather him just get 17 out of the way and let a Canns buddy or a dam player coach. This shit is infuriating

You, me, Canny, or Tommy Lasorda wouldn't do ONE iota better. Impossible went the talent was scraped from the bottom of the barrel.

[Bulldog1]

Tommy Lasorda wouldn't do ONE iota better.

You forget these *** ?? This team is not good, but Henderson is running this in the ground even more.

[tcdog70]

The time has come to completely shake this shit up. Hell, put Cole back at first, He would not have looked like a little leaguer like Hatcher. Plus If he did hit it , it would go far. Put Stovall at catcher. We know Mac and Vansau have hit Sec pitching, so put them in and leave them alone. Hell, let Pilk pitch Sunday, why waste him on Friday. Best way to win a 2 out of 3 is Small on Sat and Pilk on Sunday. Let's give Anderson a shot.

No on Cole at first . That’s ridiculous . Hatcher will be a player here . It’s not like he hit 3 home runs the first weekend series off Valley and JSU . He will hit.
Plus the the kid is very good in the field
If Cole wants a crack at DH so be it.
We need to play more freshman not less .

Now Ari, I might have been a little over the top with Cole, but Hatcher did not look like he could field yesterday. Cole has hit some bombs in the past. You are right try Him at DH. The breaking ball seems to be befuddling Hatcher. Hatcher is weak on fielding the scoop throw. I understand freshmen gonna freshmen. But hell, anything to shake up this cluster 17 would be worth a try

[tcdog70]

Don't agree, Cole swings the bat. If he K's he is swinging. Poole loves to look at the called 3td strike.

We have 4 promising freshmen that need to be in the lineup every day: Allen, Hatcher, Westburg and Foscue.

[Coach34]

Yep- play the freshmen and get them ready for next year

[Bully13]

I wonder how many of those SEC earned runs Pilk has given up were after a competent HC would have already pulled him.

[Commercecomet24]

We have 4 promising freshmen that need to be in the lineup every day: Allen, Hatcher, Westburg and Foscue.

Yep. Play all the freshman get em ready for next year. Its about all the good we can get out of this year now.

[State82]

Yep- play the freshmen and get them ready for next year

This is one of those very rare situations where an AD could actually step in and make an on-field decision for one of his programs.

[confucius say]

Got to get the freshmen reps for sure.

On a related note, I?m not sure how good these freshmen are. My hope is just that they need time to develop and will be good in time, but they have not been standout, impact freshmen like almost every team in the league has, and like we have had in the past.
