What is Gary henderson's malfunction?

[preachermatt83]

Poole in the lineup ... Skelton catching... good grief that dude is either clueless or is doing it on purpose

[Bulldog1]

I would say he's trolling us, but I believe he is just plain stupid. He got fired at Kentucky for a reason. I just don't understand why Skelton is catching tonight or any night for that matter.

[HoopsDawg]

At least our 3rd leading hitter, Westburg, is in the lineup.

Skelton always catches Pilk and he has been swinging the bat better as of late. I would still prefer Gilbert, but I get it.

[msstate7]

Poole has had 2 good games in a row. Probably lose to OM if he had not gotten that huge double. Skelton, I have no idea

[HoopsDawg]

Poole has had 2 good games in a row. Probably lose to OM if he had not gotten that huge double. Skelton, I have no idea

Yeah, Poole is hitting about 40 points higher than Vansau and is an excellent defender. The change I have been asking for all year is to have Foscue and Westburg in the lineup together but he just won't do it.

[Bulldog1]

At least he got our 1st baseman out of left field. He's DHing tonight.

[preachermatt83]

At least he got our 1st baseman out of left field. He's DHing tonight.

Oh gosh yes... that was atrocious

[Bulldog1]

MacNamee is 3rd on the team in obp% yet he's on the bench.

[msstate7]

Can you post lineup?

[Bulldog1]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DasvPgwXcAURvG0?format=jpg

[HoopsDawg]

MacNamee is 3rd on the team in obp% yet he's on the bench.

He probably has the biggest gripe on the team. He's 6th on the team in BA, 2nd in conference only stats. And a .397 OBP. Yet he has 30 less AB's than Vansau and less AB's than Poole, Skelton and even Rowdey Jordan.

I would have Allen in LF, Hatcher at 1B, and DH Foscue b/c Foscue brings a little more pop to the lineup. He actually has a chance to drive one out of the park and to continue to improve this season and for the future.

[Bulldog1]

Mangum singles up the middle

[msstate7]

Runner on 2nd with 0 outs and pitcher pitching you outside... stop trying to pull, Alexander. Crap... ground ball to right side

[Bulldog1]

He was safe.

[msstate7]

Mangum is a bad baserunner. He should score easily on a ball like that with his speed. Probably just doesn't get get jumps on contact

[msstate7]

He was safe.

Don't think he even touched plate. Does college allow you to block plate without ball? He would be called safe in mlb

[Bulldog1]

Mangum is a bad baserunner. He should score easily on a ball like that with his speed. Probably just doesn't get get jumps on contact

Well that's a bad problem, because there was 2 outs. Should've been running on the crack of the bat.

[Bulldog1]

Don't think he even touched plate. Does college allow you to block plate without ball? He would be called safe in mlb

To my knowledge, there is no plate blocking rule in college. But I'm not sure.

[HoopsDawg]

this dude has a tight plate. we need to look at a lot of pitches and get Mize out of the game.

[msstate7]

this dude has a tight plate. we need to look at a lot of pitches and get Mize out of the game.

Or 1 pitch out haha

[HoopsDawg]

this dude has a tight plate. we need to look at a lot of pitches and get Mize out of the game.

LOL and we come out swinging at first pitches.

[Bulldog1]

LOL and we come out swinging at first pitches.

They'll never learn I guess.

[msstate7]

LOL and we come out swinging at first pitches.

I kinda understand it though... we strike out a ton, and mize does too

[Liverpooldawg]

Poole in the lineup ... Skelton catching... good grief that dude is either clueless or is doing it on purpose

I wonder if he knows as much about preaching as you do about sports?

[Bulldog1]

I wonder if he knows as much about preaching as you do about sports?

I thought you didn't follow baseball?

[msstate7]

Either he is slow as Christmas or he was watching what he thought was a HR. Should be on 3rd

[BuckyIsAB****]

Vansau shouldnt be on the roster next year if he doesnt play better. Damn dude

[Bulldog1]

Either he is slow as Christmas or he was watching what he thought was a HR. Should be on 3rd

Probably jogging.

[msstate7]

Serious question: do more balls get by Skelton hitting or catching?

[Liverpooldawg]

I thought you didn't follow baseball?

I don't , other than to see how we are doing. It's still a valid question.

[Bulldog1]

Serious question: do more balls get by Skelton hitting or catching?

Lol.

[Bulldog1]

I don't , other than to see how we are doing. It's still a valid question.

Oh. I was just wondering if you were watching the game. That's all

[Bulldog1]

Down 1-0. Will be a tough comeback. Better stop the bleeding.

[MaroonFlounder]

I owe an apology to whoever said that Josh Lovelady was our biggest loss from last year’s team.

You were so right, and I was so wrong.

[Bulldog1]

Who's that guy that thinks Skelton is a MLB talent?

[HoopsDawg]

I owe an apology to whoever said that Josh Lovelady was our biggest loss from last year’s team.

You were so right, and I was so wrong.

No you weren't. That's an asinine statement. Rooker was by far the biggest loss followed by Cody and Gridley. Gilbert is actually a decent catcher with a little pop but we don't play him everyday.

[HoopsDawg]

Who's that guy that thinks Skelton is a MLB talent?

Seems like Todd4State or someone heard that from Ed Easley.

[BuckyIsAB****]

For all the shit this team has had to deal with Henderson is probably the worst. And our HC got fired after the first series.

Hendo got to go. Skelton shouldnt play another inning

[Liverpooldawg]

Oh. I was just wondering if you were watching the game. That's all

Nope, eating dinner, drinking beer, and listening to the Westminster Abbey Choir.

[msstate7]

Seems like Todd4State or someone heard that from Ed Easley.

5049 said it on sps. We argued pretty good about it

[Quaoarsking]

this dude has a tight plate. we need to look at a lot of pitches and get Mize out of the game.

There should be no such thing as a "tight plate." Set up cameras and have every call be objectively correct.

[msstate7]

They hitting pilk hard

[Bulldog1]

For all the shit this team has had to deal with Henderson is probably the worst. And our HC got fired after the first series.

Hendo got to go. Skelton shouldnt play another inning
Henderson should've been gone long ago. One of the players would do a better job than him.

[Bulldog1]

5049 said it on sps. We argued pretty good about it

Yea, that's him. I believe he's the same guy who's been campaigning for Lane Burroughs as head coach.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Henderson should've been gone long ago. One of the players would do a better job than him.

This team would be much better IMO with a competent HC.

Tadlock, McDonnell whoever has no excuse next year IMO. Need to get some arms but we should be competitive

[msstate7]

That was a big league play

[msstate7]

Auburn is destroying pilk

[MaroonFlounder]

That’s likely all they need. 2 runs.

[Bulldog1]

Auburn is destroying pilk

Our best chance to win is Tomorrow.

[HoopsDawg]

5049 said it on sps. We argued pretty good about it

Yep, that's right. My apologies to Todd.

[msstate7]

Well back to clown school. At least we played our best of the season against OM

[HoopsDawg]

That’s likely all they need. 2 runs.

depressing but true. We have 3 guys in the lineup with 0 homers this year. Hatcher hasn't hit one since Week 2. Just not much pop in the lineup. Gilbert and Foscue have a little pop but both are on the pine.

[msstate7]

Swinging early is not working... we can't square balls up and he only has 41 pitches. Time to just try and work counts. He will complete game us if we keep swinging early

[Bulldog1]

This ump is all over the place.

[Bulldog1]

Time to move Stovall in the 2 hole again?

[HoopsDawg]

Time to move Stovall in the 2 hole again?

nah, I would just leave him where he is.

[Bulldog1]

THAT'S why Westburg should be in the lineup.

[HoopsDawg]

My boy Westburg with the double. Yes, Henderson has had him on the bench a lot lately.

[HoopsDawg]

Oh boy, Vansau now has 90 AB's and he's hitting .210. Maybe get freaking Foscue's bat in the lineup or even Jordan Anderson. Damn.

[Bulldog1]

Oh boy, Vansau now has 85 AB's and he's hitting .210. Maybe get freaking Foscue's bat in the lineup or even Jordan Anderson. Damn.

Or MacNamee.

[HoopsDawg]

Or MacNamee.

Gotta have that Lefty/Righty matchup. SMH!! Killer AB from Vansau. Should have bunted with LA in the first and with Vansau that inning. It would be 2-2 if we executed properly.

[Bulldog1]

Lead off double, leave him at 2nd. Sad.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Foul ball.

[HoopsDawg]

Lead off double, leave him at 2nd. Sad.

Yeah, we get a leadoff double then we are looking at .211, .230 and Poole coming to the plate. I hate bunting more than any human alive, but with that trio I think you have to bunt him to 3rd.

[Bulldog1]

Yeah, we get a leadoff double then we are looking at .211, .230 and Poole coming to the plate. I hate bunting more than any human alive, but with that trio I think you have to bunt him to 3rd.

That's what I don't understand. Henderson wants to bunt in the dumbest situations, but when we should bunt he tells them to swing!

[msstate7]

How big was that outstanding play by auburn ss?

[msstate7]

If the infield plays back, I?d squeeze

[Bulldog1]

Infield in. He's out.

[HoopsDawg]

If the infield plays back, I?d squeeze

man, wish we would have.

[msstate7]

Damn, Stovall

[Bulldog1]

We've wasted a lot of opportunities tonight.

[Bulldog1]

Better hope for a wild pitch/ passed ball.

[Bulldog1]

Oh well.

[msstate7]

2 weak grounders to the pitcher. Pathetic

[HoopsDawg]

Welp, that sucks we stranded the runner at 3rd, but man Tanner Allen can really swing the bat. This game should be 4-2 us.

[msstate7]

Mize over 80 pitches now. Bad part is bottom of lineup coming up next. Time to PH

[Bulldog1]

Mize over 80 pitches now. Bad part is bottom of lineup coming up next. Time to PH

Don't hold your breath.

[HoopsDawg]

Mize over 80 pitches now. Bad part is bottom of lineup coming up next. Time to PH

Won't happen. Henderson hasn't done it all year. I do remember when he pinch hit Foscue for Westburg. That was a fun one.

[msstate7]

What was that

[HoopsDawg]

oh wow, Hunter. E-4.

[HoopsDawg]

Now E-6.

[msstate7]

What was that x2

[Bulldog1]

REALLY????

[msstate7]

That is not a hit

[HoopsDawg]

Now Henderson with a freaking mound visit after 2 errors or should have been ruled errors.

[HoopsDawg]

That is not a hit

I'd give him a hit in little league...maybe.

[msstate7]

Now Henderson with a freaking mound visit after 2 errors or should have been ruled errors.

Henderson visit = bad results 99% of time

[msstate7]

97% haha

[HoopsDawg]

Whew, Pilk records 5 outs in the same inning. 2-1 heading to the 7th.

[Bulldog1]

Henderson visit = bad results 99% of time

I liked that Chuckie comparison haha

[HoopsDawg]

whew, rough inning for the good guys. I guess Poole will leadoff the next inning. Mize could go the distance.

[msstate7]

We are fighting for our postseason lives, and Henderson lets Skelton hit. Just don't get it

[msstate7]

whew, rough inning for the good guys. I guess Poole will leadoff the next inning. Mize could go the distance.

Gotta ph Jordan or macnamee

[Bulldog1]

Gotta ph Jordan or macnamee

I choose MacNamee.

[HoopsDawg]

Gotta ph Jordan or macnamee

He won't do it. I would bat Foscue or Mac.

[Bulldog1]

He won't do it. I would bat Foscue or Mac.

He doesn't care enough to ph. Or he is too stupid.

[msstate7]

He won't do it. I would bat Foscue or Mac.

Foscue is even better. Forgot him

[HoopsDawg]

wow, what a weak and obvious bunt attempt by Poole. Come on Henderson it's the 8th inning bro.

[msstate7]

We have the dumbest approach ever.

[msstate7]

We have no desire to get mize out. Game over

[Skydawg1]

Tonight's 2-1 loss is gonna hurt bad due to Mangum's inability to score from 2nd with no outs, in the 1st inning.

[msstate7]

Tonight's 2-1 loss is gonna hurt bad due to Mangum's inability to score from 2nd with no outs, in the 1st inning.

I definitely blame it on mangum too. He is a ++ speed guy... he was to score on a clean base hit to the outfield. He just doesn't get good jumps

[HoopsDawg]

most everyone in this thread questioned starting Poole, Skelton, and Vansau and they went 0-9. You have to wonder if we had started Gilbert, Foscue, and MacNamee if the results would have been any different. 1-8 could have made the difference.

[Skydawg1]

[HoopsDawg]

I really wanted to see the replay of his jump. Did he freeze or something? There were 2 outs so with a good secondary, plus a good jump, he should have scored.

Also, Henderson has called for some terrible bunts this year, but he didn't bunt Mangum to 3rd and he didn't bunt Westburg to 3rd after leadoff doubles and neither player scored. Then our 4 hole couldn't score Allen. That's 3 runs we left out there. Can't do that against a guy like Mize.

[msstate7]

Starting them was questionable. Letting them hit in the 7th and 8th down one should be firable

[msstate7]

Pretty sure both teams have 2 leadoff doubles (1 of ours was single and SB, but same deal). We scored neither of ours and auburn scored both of theirs.

[Skydawg1]

Cole Gordon smh

[msstate7]

1 walk between pilk and mize all night. Cole walks 1st guy. Get him out of there

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Cole Gordon smh

He's taking all the pressure off our hitters. I like the strategy**

[Bulldog1]

"He's (Henderson) done a tremendous job."- this announcer
No, he hasn't.

[Bulldog1]

Get him out. Now.

[Skydawg1]

beanball on 1-2 count....b loaded

[HoopsDawg]

Henderson is one of those old school coaches that thinks you can only bring your closer in the game in a save situation. The right move was to bring in Blake Smith and keep this a 1 run game..

[msstate7]

In 25.2 ip, Gordon has given 17 free passes (walks or hbp). No way he comes in to a game like this for me

[Skydawg1]

my man!***

[msstate7]

Good job, Cole... I guess lol

[HoopsDawg]

Sick curve from Gordon there. Gotta to find a run somehow.

[Bulldog1]

He actually struck him out.

[Percho]

All guts on that pitch?

[Bulldog1]

Good job, Cole... I guess lol

Who's due up?

[msstate7]

Insight into our season... Stovall is 2-3 with 2 of his ABs having a runner in scoring position. 0 RBIs

[HoopsDawg]

another wasted Pilk start. Should have started Billingsley I guess, lol.

[Bulldog1]

Ballgame.

[Skydawg1]

Thanks Jake.

[HoopsDawg]

Insight into our season... Stovall is 2-3 with 2 of his ABs having a runner in scoring position. 0 RBIs

That's gross. Got one clutch hit, but got gunned at the plate. Didn't play small ball for some reason when he has done it (albeit unsuccessfully) all year.

[Bulldog1]

Our season in a nutshell.

[msstate7]

another wasted Pilk start. Should have started Billingsley I guess, lol.

We don't deserve to win. Fastest runner on team can't score from 2nd on base hit. Stovall can't drive in runner at 3b with 1 out and IF in. Losers lose

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Pilk goes 7 2/3, 2 runs on 4 hits. Gets the loss

[Bulldog1]

Debating on whether I want to watch tomorrow or not.

[MarketingBully]

If we had Josh Lovelady this year, we would have at least five more wins. Skelton is horrible behind the plate. Auburn got one of their runs off a passed ball.

[msstate7]

Debating on whether I want to watch tomorrow or not.

Same time as braves. No way I watch this garbage

[Skydawg1]

Debating on whether I want to watch tomorrow or not.I was debating going up to Memphis Wednesday. Debate over.

[MarketingBully]

We don't deserve to win. Fastest runner on team can't score from 2nd on base hit. Stovall can't drive in runner at 3b with 1 out and IF in. Losers lose

Even worse, one of the Auburn runs scored because of a passed ball got a runner to third then scored on a sac fly.

[msstate7]

If we had Josh Lovelady this year, we would have at least five more wins. Skelton is horrible behind the plate. Auburn got one of their runs off a passed ball.

Skelton is terrible. That was a wild pitch though or should've been

[Todd4State]

We're a coach away from being good.

[Bulldog1]

Same time as braves. No way I watch this garbage

Oh. Didn't know what time State played tomorrow. I'll watch the team that wants to win- the Braves.

[Skydawg1]

Men's Tennis (and Women's (ole miss)) lost at TAMU tonight to add insult to injury. Tonight was basically for the SEC Championship, if I'm not mistaken.

[msstate7]

We're a coach away from being good.

I expect big jumps from the freshmen. Maybe Stovall and Alexander come back

[MarketingBully]

We don't deserve to win. Fastest runner on team can't score from 2nd on base hit. Stovall can't drive in runner at 3b with 1 out and IF in. Losers lose

I don’t understand how we can’t drive in a runner from third with less then two outs when all you have to do is hit the ball to the right side or even hit a ball in the outfield. Basically just don’t strike out or hit it weakly to the left side of the infield and you are good. We can’t do that.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We're a coach away from being good.

I agree

[Bulldog1]

We're a coach away from being good.

Yea, I think we'll be pretty good next year. Ready to see who we hire.

[MarketingBully]

I expect big jumps from the freshmen. Maybe Stovall and Alexander come back

I hope those two aren?t back. Tanner Allen is a MI by trade and we are playing him at first. He could play ss and we could have Jordan Anderson play second. And we could finally put Hatcher back at first instead of DH?ing. The upper classmen aside from Mangum are big time downgrades to where we could be if we start all of the freshmen position players. We would definitely have a much better lineup then this piece of shit that Henderson keeps trotting out there.

We will have a new coach, so if someone is better than them they will not play. I just don't see how we have a very good class with no coach in place, so I would like to keep those guys if possible

I totally disagree. If there are two juniors that you pick to leave it's MacNamee and Vansau. Anderson hasn't played second base in his life.

Ideal lineup next year:

C- Hayden Jones Fr.
1B- Hatcher
2B- Stovall
3B- Westburg or Foscue
SS- LA
LF- Bryce Bush
CF- Jordan Anderson
RF- Allen
DH- Westburg or Foscue

And yeah- I could see Stovall and LA taking 200 dollars to leave because that's what our juniors always do.

[Todd4State]

We will have a new coach, so if someone is better than them they will not play. I just don't see how we have a very good class with no coach in place, so I would like to keep those guys if possible

Cohen is keeping the recruits up to date as much as possible. We haven't had any de-commits but we will obviously lose a few to the draft. In fact, we've actually added a few commits since the season has started.

[MarketingBully]

We will have a new coach, so if someone is better than them they will not play. I just don't see how we have a very good class with no coach in place, so I would like to keep those guys if possible

This would be my lineup next year with everyone playing more of their natural positions. Man Henderson has a lot of our guys playing way out of position to appease upper class men. I think the big reason we struggle is some of the freshmen are playing positions they’ve never played before. Have we even pitched Hatcher as a reliever at all? Henderson is a bafoon. We have a ton of freshman position player talent. Everyone of these guys were PG all stars in some capacity. Cann really didn’t do shit to develop these guys either. Just a terrible perfect storm.

Well, here’s my lineup for next year:

1. Tanner Allen - CF
2. Jordan Westburg - SS
3. Hunter Stovall - 2nd base
4. Josh Hatcher - 1st base (bring him in as LHP middle relief when needed)
5. Jordan Anderson - RF
6. Justin Foscue - 3rd base
7. Cole Gordon - DH
8. Marshal Gilbert - C
9. Rowdy Jordan - LF

[Bulldog1]

I corrected myself. I think Anderson and Allen could be great in the outfield together so if you feel Anderson is better at CF I would move him there. I don’t want LA back personally because he muddies the waters at SS where we could have better options there. I’ll take Hunter Stovall though because he could have a Ryan Gridley type season hitting third.

I don’t know anything about the incoming freshmen so I don’t know where they fit in. I do think we have a ton of position player talent that is being wasted this year by an old man who is letting upperclassman loyalty get the better of him and Cann who obviously didn’t do anything in the fall to set them up to be successful in the spring.

[msstate7]

Cohen is keeping the recruits up to date as much as possible. We haven't had any de-commits but we will obviously lose a few to the draft. In fact, we've actually added a few commits since the season has started.

Alexander is a good SEC shortstop. He has no business hitting at the top of the lineup, but he can't help that no one else on the team can hit. Don't let 3 years of irrational hatred by a contingency on here sway you.

[MarketingBully]

The ideal lineup would include JT Ginn. Wouldn't it?

Oh most certainly. He could take first and we could move Hatcher to DH.

1. Tanner Allen - RF
2. Jordan Westburg - SS
3. Hunter Stovall - 2nd base
4. Josh Hatcher - DH (bring him in as LHP middle relief when needed)
5. JT Ginn - 1B/Pitching as well
6. Jordan Anderson - CF
7. Justin Foscue - 3rd base
8. Hayden Jones, FR - C
9. Rowdy Jordan - LF

[Bulldog1]

Doesn't he also play SS and C?

Absolutely. I'm embarrassed.

[Todd4State]

He's the kind of guy that could be a good senior player. He plays good defense and has some pop. You're right he can't carry a lineup but he could be solid with good players around him.

[MarketingBully]

Alexander is a good SEC shortstop. He has no business hitting at the top of the lineup, but he can't help that no one else on the team can hit. Don't let 3 years of irrational hatred by a contingency on here sway you.

I just think that we have better on the roster that didn’t even get a chance at shortstop. We are splitting third with Westburg and Foscue when Westburg’s high school accolades were tremendously better then anything LA did and we could have a left side of the infield with both Westburg and Foscue and both could get in the lineup at the same time.

What makes you think a new coach would play a lesser player? If someone is better than Alexander, then that someone would play

[MarketingBully]

What makes you think a new coach would play a lesser player? If someone is better than Alexander, then that someone would play

We are playing a bunch of our players out of position. I honestly don’t think Henderson knows what he’s doing on the position group/lineup side and it’s obvious Cann didn’t do a good job evaluating where players needed to go in the fall. I hope whoever we get comes in and says all positions are up for grabs and let’s the competition chips fall where they may from there. If the new coach does that, we will have a chance to be very good even as early as next season. If we hire a McDonnell or Schlossnagle type of coach, I expect that’s what they will do.

[Dawg61]

Mangum is a bad baserunner. He should score easily on a ball like that with his speed. Probably just doesn't get get jumps on contact

Worse baserunner than Salvador Perez

[preachermatt83]

most everyone in this thread questioned starting Poole, Skelton, and Vansau and they went 0-9. You have to wonder if we had started Gilbert, Foscue, and MacNamee if the results would have been any different. 1-8 could have made the difference.

This!!!

man this sucks. Pilk was 2-4 with a 2.61 ERA prior to this loss. Now he's 2-5 with an ERA under 2.5. I'd like to see the list of college pitchers with that record that don't wear a MSU jersey.

It's even worse that we had plenty of chances to win last night and didn't take advantage of them.

I finally watched the game off and on, two outstanding pitchers last night,

No on Butch being our next Coach, I don't dislike him but I think we can do better.

[Bothrops]

We are pitiful at the plate.

[confucius say]

We are pitiful at the plate.

Yep. I've been super hard on our guys, especially upper classmen, since the first series.

That said, with the right coach this team could make a regional. Just having 2017 Cann would be enough.

Henderson is old and the game has passed him by.. He seriously looks clueless ! Just a blank stare and his in game interviews are awful.. This season can't end fast enough we need us a real COACH!

Oh most certainly. He could take first and we could move Hatcher to DH.

1. Tanner Allen - RF
2. Jordan Westburg - SS
3. Hunter Stovall - 2nd base
4. Josh Hatcher - DH (bring him in as LHP middle relief when needed)
5. JT Ginn - 1B/Pitching as well
6. Jordan Anderson - CF
7. Justin Foscue - 3rd base
8. Hayden Jones, FR - C
9. Rowdy Jordan - LF

Ginn plays SS not 1B

All these ideal lineups include Jordan Anderson - how come we presently give Tanner Pool so much playing time? That sub 250 batting average for a Senior means he should not be on the team, much less starting
