[confucius say]

Mississippi is throwing a lefty in Jordan Fowler (4-0; 3.43 era). We will send eight righties to the plate, the lone exception being Allen.

Fowler has 10 appearances on the year, 4 of which have been starts. He has thrown only 21 innings. Teams are hitting .234 against him. His four wins are against, Winthrop, Tulane, Georgia State, and Arkansas State.

[HoopsDawg]

I've pleaded all year for Foscue and Westburg to be in the lineup together. So thankful for 2 games in a row!

[confucius say]

And we are throwing Mcquary. Electric stuff IF he can locate. Need good Denver.

[preachermatt83]

Best lineup Henderson has put out there all season.

[Bulldog1]

About to start.

[Bulldog1]

3 groundballs, 3 outs for McQuary.

[BeardoMSU]

Can we get Lou Brown to make Jake do pushups every time he hits the ball in the air?

Not sure why. Link came from the baseball Twitter Page.

It's on the SECNetwork, channel 611 on Netflix, btw.

[msstate7]

Score?

[BeardoMSU]

Score?

OM-9, State-0 after 2....we're ****ed already. Thanks for showing up.**

[BeardoMSU]

JK, it's 0-0 heading to the 3rd, lol.

[Bulldog1]

Score?

Scoreless. I couldn't handle Braves game. They (team and management) don't care.

[Bulldog1]

OM-9, State-0 after 2....we're ****ed already. Thanks for showing up.**

Haha.

[msstate7]

JK, it's 0-0 heading to the 3rd, lol.

Not funny... ok, a little

[HoopsDawg]

single and a double to leadoff T3. 1-0 Ole miss with 0 outs. Who's next henderson?

[Bully13]

It's on the SECNetwork, channel 611 on Netflix, btw.

thanks for the head's up Beard. I go to my t.v., turn it on and I'm introduced to that 0-1 deficit. 17 me. I got to see it ( the RBI )thanks to you. YOU SUCK SIR***

[BeardoMSU]

Who's next henderson?

I just spotted Cole warming up his underhand pitch in the bullpen***

[Bulldog1]

Nice double play!!!

[HoopsDawg]

K and then an unorthodox double play to get out of the inning only down 1-0. Good Job by Denver.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow!!! Helluva play Denver and Luke! Awesome double-play gets us out of it.

[msbulldog]

Wow! Very nice!

[HoopsDawg]

I just spotted Cole warming up his underhand pitch in the bullpen***

Need 2 more from Denver. Then maybe go 1 with Neff, 2 France, and 1 Blake Smith.

[Bully13]

HA!! 17 you Ole Miss, what a GREAT double play based on Ole Miss dumassedry. And I got to watch it in Fort Worth instead of relying on live stats and game thread Bully posters. It was awesome.

[Bulldog1]

HA!! 17 you Ole Miss, what a GREAT double play based on Ole Miss dumassedry. And I got to watch it in Fort Worth instead of relying on live stats and game thread Bully posters. It was awesome.

Do you have WatchESPN to watch the games when they're on SECnetwork+?

[Bully13]

Stovall to have the mental presence to make that quick turn around was Major League Thinking.

[Bully13]

Do you have WatchESPN to watch the games when they're on SECnetwork+?

Yeah, I do. Shame on me.

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, what an AB from Rowdey. Hits a double off the LF wall on the 11th pitch of the AB.

[Bulldog1]

Double off the wall by Rowdey Jordan. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out for Mangum.

[Bulldog1]

Mangum 2 run double!!!

[HoopsDawg]

Mangum mashes a double, 2-1 Dawgs!

[HoopsDawg]

Great example for all the youngsters out there, Mangum keeps his head on the ball as good as anyone.

[Bulldog1]

Yeah, I do. Shame on me.

:eek:

[Skydawg1]

Mangum just SHOVING it up Ole missy's ass. Love it.

[msbulldog]

Jake 'the bear killa' Mangum!

[Bulldog1]

Jake hates Ole Miss as much as me.

[BeardoMSU]

WP moves Jake to 3rd.

[HoopsDawg]

Mangum at 3rd on a WP. Need LA to shorten up and get Jake home.

[BeardoMSU]

Jake hates Ole Miss as much as me.

But he loves spankin' that ass

[Bulldog1]

But he loves spankin' that ass

Lol.

[HoopsDawg]

Poor read by Mangum and he gets gunned at the plate.

[BeardoMSU]

Welp, that sucks. Jake thrown out at the plate after a great catch from the 3b.

[HoopsDawg]

Welp, that sucks. Jake thrown out at the plate after a great catch from the 3b.

I don't get it. The 3rd baseman is playing in, if it's hit to 3rd, you stay. Pretty easy decision right?

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, how did that not get out? Tanner tags it, but it stays in the yard.

[BeardoMSU]

Shit....another good catch by OM, this time robbing us of extra bases and another score. We need Denver to throw strikes.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow, how did that not get out? Tanner tags it, but it stays in the yard.

I definitely thought it was yard off the bat....

[RocketDawg]

Wow, how did that not get out? Tanner tags it, but it stays in the yard.

I don't see how the right fielder caught it. Looked like the setting sun was right in his eyes. Good play by the guy.

[Bully13]

Did we just give up a 17ing run on another base running blunder? do we have too many of those?

Oh, can someone update us on younger / vs upperclassmen on hitting prowess?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Welp, that sucks. Jake thrown out at the plate after a great catch from the 3b.

Yep... on 3rd with only one out that ball has to go thru the infield... Jake giveth and Jake taketh away.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I don't get it. The 3rd baseman is playing in, if it's hit to 3rd, you stay. Pretty easy decision right?

I know going as soon as you see down-angle off the bat regardless of where it's hit has become a philosophy, at least on the high school level. I think it's dumb because of situations like that.

[BiscuitEater]

I couldn't handle Braves game. They (team and management) don't care.

Have the Braves been mathematically eliminated yet?

[Bulldog1]

It's also stupid because the top of the order was at the plate.

[Bulldog1]

Have the Braves been mathematically eliminated yet?

Snitker is manager, so yes. Getting no hit tonight by a pitcher with a 5+ era.

[Bully13]

Nice. go ahead by 1 run with a 2 run inning? start the inning with a lead off walk. SMH.

[Bulldog1]

Nice. go ahead by 1 run with a 2 run inning? start the inning with a lead off walk. SMH.

Then give up a HR. STOP WALKING BATTERS!!!!!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Denver gonna Denver

[Bully13]

17 me. there was a pitch that caught the plate on the outside corner that was welfare to tsun. 17 me.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hate the coin noise. Can't we request them not to do it when we are in the field.

[RocketDawg]

I see there's no fake grass and dirt on tonight's field.

[BeardoMSU]

Denver gonna Denver

Death, taxes, and.....Denver*

[Bulldog1]

Ground rule double ties the game.

[Bully13]

Whose uglier, tsun pitcher or Archie? inquiring minds would like to know.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ground rule double costs us a run. If it hits the wall we score two there. Also, not great hitting with 2and3 with 1 out.

[BeardoMSU]

We probably would've scored another run had Mc's double not bounced over the fence. Lady Luck is not on our side tonight....wretched scag....

[HoopsDawg]

It's time to pull Denver.

[Bully13]

We probably would've scored another run had Mc's double not bounced over the fence. Lady Luck is not on our side tonight....wretched scag....

"wretched scag" need an update on that. liked it on the surface though.

[Bulldog1]

Was nobody backing 1B up?

[HoopsDawg]

mental error by Mangum, but should have been a physical error on Allen.

[HoopsDawg]

Was nobody backing 1B up?

no way Gilbert thinks that Mangum is throwing to 1B.

[Bully13]

It's time to pull Denver.

yep, he don't seem to be fooling nobody know. They are making solid contact against him now.

[Bully13]

we just got 17'd on that call .. that was a strike. we are 17'd tonight guys. the fix is in.

[RocketDawg]

Lucky to get out of that with only one run scored. Minor meltdown that could have been major. Mangum's catch helped.

[Leroy Jenkins]

It's time to pull Denver.

Hendersoning..... always a beat behind the music.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to get some hits here. Got to answer.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Has anyone seen Mangum take a pitch to start an at bat.

[HoopsDawg]

Has anyone seen Mangum take a pitch to start an at bat.

has anyone seen big foot?

[Homedawg]

we just got 17'd on that call .. that was a strike. we are 17'd tonight guys. the fix is in.

What fix?? Good grief

[Homedawg]

Lucky to get out of that with only one run scored. Minor meltdown that could have been major. Mangum's catch helped.

No. We shouldn't have given up a run. Mangums bad decision and tanner's booting it cost us a run. Just not good baseball

[Lord McBuckethead]

5 outs in 11 pitches. Man.

[Bully13]

What fix?? Good grief

pay attention to the strike zone this bastard behind the plate is calling.

[Bully13]

another strike 3 no call on the bender

[Dawgcap]

Shit y’all it’s 4-3 against a really good team. We’ve made a couple mistakes but damn! They make a great catch at the wall, ground rule double that cost us 1 and we blame half the team. Good grief it’s a good baseball game!

[Bully13]

didn't swing but caught the inside corner

[Bully13]

surprised we got that one at the knees

[Homedawg]

pay attention to the strike zone this bastard behind the plate is calling.

Like that one that wasn't a strike on them? Stop bitching and whining.

[TXDawg]

I’m getting sick of the stupid Mario coin noise and Dari’s knob slobbing of it.

I thought that was an Ole Miss thing.

[Homedawg]

surprised we got that one at the knees

It wasn't at the knees. It was a ball. Fix I'm sure. Take your glasses off for just one second. One.

[Homedawg]

Shit y’all it’s 4-3 against a really good team. We’ve made a couple mistakes but damn! They make a great catch at the wall, ground rule double that cost us 1 and we blame half the team. Good grief it’s a good baseball game!

Not blaming. Pointing out a fact. Mangum made a bad play. Not smart. It cost us. And tanner could have saved his bad decision and got lazy. All facts.

[Dawgcap]

No issues with the umps, or players. Really good mid week game. Why is every call or play made shit on?

[Bully13]

surprised we got that one at the knees

in Hindsight, was just a situational call based on the situation. a cover our corrupt asses call.

[Bulldog1]

FAIR BALL. HENDERSON GET EJECTED NOW.

[msstate7]

Thought I saw chalk

[Dawgcap]

Not blaming. Pointing out a fact. Mangum made a bad play. Not smart. It cost us. And tanner could have saved his bad decision and got lazy. All facts.

I was agreeing with you!

[Homedawg]

Thought I saw chalk

Well that would be cool considering it's a painted line....

[Red Sox Dawg]

Score update?

[Bully13]

17'd again. that ball was on the paint. these umpires are on the take.

[Bulldog1]

I saw paint smudge*

[The Federalist Engineer]

3-4 ... Evil Doers winning

[msstate7]

Well that would be cool considering it's a painted line....

Water then... something

[Homedawg]

17'd again. that ball was on the paint. these umpires are on the take.

Your are amazing. How can you tell that?? Hell im watching the same shit you are. Try to save some credibility

[Red Sox Dawg]

3-4 ... Evil Doers winning

Thanks man. Must have a one-eyed umpire calling this game based on the comments.**

[preachermatt83]

Rowdy trying to be fancy.

[Bully13]

Tobacco money be mad. they mad. slinging cash around and shit.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Greer Holston is averaging 2 pitches per out

[The Federalist Engineer]

Then Gilbert hits a HR one Pitch, 0-0 count

4-4

[Bulldog1]

Gilbert home run!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Mangum just hits a ball that hit the ground first, then beat the 1st baseman to the base.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Glad that guy is sitting down.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This guy looks like he throws the ball flat. Let's get him.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Mangum just hits a ball that hit the ground first, then beat the 1st baseman to the base.

Mangum would be a world-class superstar Cricket player - biggest stud bolt in India - if he would switch sports

[Lord McBuckethead]

Love how overweight UM basketball players are.

[Dawgcap]

Then Gilbert hits a HR one Pitch, 0-0 count

4-4

It?s so funny that now the people who bitch about poor play and umpiring have to shut up. Some bitch more than my wife if I help with laundry and fold the towels wrong! Enjoy and quit bitchin so much. And not responding to you I only could respond in this post

[Homedawg]

Guess that no balk call was a fix too.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Keegan on 45 pitches- that's a lot for him right - compared to other outings this year

[Bulldog1]

What a catch by Mangum.

[Homedawg]

What a catch by Mangum.

Indeed it was. Awesome

[Lord McBuckethead]

Let's get a double play here.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I smell a web gem

[Lord McBuckethead]

No idea how Mangum got there. But great catch.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Lead-off walks score 137% of the time.

[KOdawg1]

No Blake Smith?

[I seen it dawg]

Another wtf Henderson. Why not give France a fresh inning? So stupid

[The Federalist Engineer]

No Blake Smith?

He had a big Sunday

[Bulldog1]

Another wtf Henderson. Why not give France a fresh inning? So stupid

Tried to let his boy Neff get extra work Lol.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Another wtf Henderson. Why not give France a fresh inning? So stupid

Neff let his coach down, he's a senior, he's gotta be big enough for this moment

[KOdawg1]

wtf is Henderson doing?

[Bulldog1]

WHAT IS HE DOING???????

[I seen it dawg]

Holy shit. Henderson is just trolling everyone now.

[KOdawg1]

France comes in, shows he can throw strikes, gets the K, so you take him out.. wow

[Bulldog1]

Bro, he's been trolling us for a while. Has to be it.

[I seen it dawg]

Neff let his coach down, he's a senior, he's gotta be big enough for this moment

France/Smith is closer. Give them a fresh inning. It's elementary. Neff did his job in the 8th.

[HoopsDawg]

No. Keep your ass in the dugout Henderson

[Dawgcap]

Bitch much y’all??

[maroonmania]

Will be a lot of second guessing to pull France if this doesn't go well.

[I seen it dawg]

Bitch much y’all??

All the time so

[Dawgcap]

And if it goes well?

[KOdawg1]

**** you henderson

[Bulldog1]

Henderson fired tonight................

[I seen it dawg]

Bitch much y’all??

Not bitching when it's ****ing right

[Bulldog1]

And if it goes well?

Well it didn't. We were right.

[maroonmania]

FAT, FAT, FAT pitch!

[starkvegasdawg]

17

[Bulldog1]

Another game Henderson loses for us.

[BeardoMSU]

That was a meat cake...

[Dawgcap]

I stand corrected!

[RocketDawg]

Will be a lot of second guessing to pull France if this doesn't go well.

And it didn't go well.

[I seen it dawg]

And if it goes well?

It's still the wrong ****ing decision. If smith is gonna close then give him a clean inning and save France. Stupid whether he gives up a double or gets a double play ball. Terrible bullpen management by this asshat.

[Bulldog1]

Way to lose momentum.

[KOdawg1]

Henderson should not be let back on the bus tonight. This shit is ridiculous

[Leroy Jenkins]

Lead-off walks score 137% of the time.

Sometimes its no fun being right.

[maroonmania]

Yep, and now even if it stays tied France is done. Henderson is not very smart.

[Bulldog1]

People still want to crown Henderson the best coach ever?

[I seen it dawg]

**** you henderson you stupid piece of shit. How do you mismanage late bullpen this ****ing bad. And now we got nothing left in the pen to stop this shit or pitch if we can tie it bc we burned France for 6 ****ing pitches.

[msstate7]

France last 4.1 ip, he has 10 k and 0 h and 0 bb

Nice move Henderson

[RocketDawg]

Lead-off walks score 137% of the time.

That's almost most of the time. **

[Lord McBuckethead]

Got to get out only down one.

[maroonmania]

Henderson is really bad.

[Bulldog1]

I was told Henderson knew more than us. NO HE DOESN'T.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Dumb@ss move of the year.

[MaroonFlounder]

What a collapse. A lot of what-ifs in this game.

[HoopsDawg]

So fckn bad.

[Bulldog1]

Go jerk Henderson off the field right now.

[Bully13]

Can someone please explain the pitching change? wasn't France in control? does Hendo even have a clue about pitching changes anymore? is he even worthy of a pitching coach? Good Lord.

[I seen it dawg]

Henderson makes sure Gordon gets to pitch. It's like ****ing senior night in a high school blowout. Let every senior get 1 hitter.

[Cloak]

Wtf is wrong with Henderson... so, so bad.

[BeardoMSU]

Cole ****ing Gordon?!?! Seriously?

[Bulldog1]

We can't win for Henderson-ing.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gary Henderson. Does seem to make more bad decisions than good.

[Bulldog1]

Now we get to see Cole Gordon? DOES GARY HAVE DEMENTIA?

[Cloak]

Cole ****ing Gordon?!?! Seriously?

I do not understand. I thought he was supposed to be competent in pitching....we KNOW he's incompetent in everything else.

[HoopsDawg]

Half the people in this thread are better managers than Henderson. Sad.

[RocketDawg]

Ole Miss guy spitting tobaccy juice ....

[Bully13]

Waiting on Home DAwg to suck off the umpires and Hendo's pitching decisions.

[Bulldog1]

Half the people in this thread are better managers than Henderson. Sad.

More like 85%

[MaroonFlounder]

To be fair, I thought almost every decision by Henderson vs Arkansas was a great one. Everything worked out.

[Ari Gold]

That?s the worst management of a bullpen in the 9th inning that I have ever seen.

[DCdawg]

Stupid 17n leadoff walk followed by a stupid 17n pitching change.

[BeardoMSU]

I can't believe he pulled France after he got an out....wtf....the dude just mowed down almost the entire Arkansas team, and you pull him after 1 ****ing out?

[I seen it dawg]

Neff should have never started this inning

[Bulldog1]

Gary Henderson is the worst manager of a bullpen that I have ever seen.

FIFY.

[Percho]

Where are we pitching, if we just tie the game

[Goldendawg]

I guess Henderson was trying to get everyone in the bullpen a participation badge for the Governor's Cup game.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

If France had started 9th.... game over.

[BulldogtheMS]

Someone needs to remind Hendo that every 17n game matters for us to have a chance at post season play.

[KOdawg1]

Gilbert has really come along

[Okrastar1]

Damn can you fire a rent a coach? How dumb can u be to pull JP France who has been ON FIRE lately after pitching to one person.... damn quit tinkering Henderson! #Hendergone please!

[Cloak]

I was begging for a pinch runner. Thank you Henderson

[Bulldog1]

Me when I see Henderson walk out of the dugout.

https://media1.giphy.com/media/ADr35Z4TvATIc/giphy.gif

[Randolph Dupree]

Just tuned in...having to listen. Sounds like we played our asses off but started Hendersoning, is that about right?

[KOdawg1]

Rebel killer Jake Mangum up

[KOdawg1]

Alright, Luke beat them again

[RocketDawg]

Just tuned in...having to listen. Sounds like we played our asses off but started Hendersoning, is that about right?

That pretty much sums it up.

[Bulldog1]

Will LA step up? Let's see.

[Cloak]

Let's go Luke! 11th inning walk of series win, let's do it again

[Bulldog1]

WALK OFFFFF

[msstate7]

My boy

[RocketDawg]

Well, Luke is the hero once again. Great hit.

[I seen it dawg]

Henderson is still an idiot. Great win in spite of him.

[Goldendawg]

How about Rebel-Killer LA?

[parabrave]

Dam bet someone is having a super meltdown.

[Cloak]

HAIL YEAH

[Bulldog1]

My boy

He is the true OM killer this year. 2 walk offs.

[RocketDawg]

What's it going to take to knock OM out of the top 10?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Whew!

[Bulldog1]

We won in spite of Henderson. Not because of him. Great fight by our boys.

[Randolph Dupree]

Holy shit. Let the term Foambat never again be used for Belmont. I declare this by Elitedawg decree. Dilly dilly.

[Goldendawg]

Where's the "Hotty Totty" chant now?

[LC Dawg]

Wow! Great win! **** you Ole Miss!

[HoopsDawg]

Onions!!! LA went with the pitch!!!!

[Cloak]

Luke man, what a way to step up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I thought that ball was going to roll through the bullpen door.

[msstate7]

Luke has 7 RBIs in last 4 games... all wins vs top 10 teams

[BeardoMSU]

Luuuuuuuke!!!!

Awesome ****ing win. We own that ass.

[Goldendawg]

7 of the last 8 against the webels.

[maroonmania]

We won in spite of Henderson. Not because of him. Great fight by our boys.

Yep, Henderson should go give Luke a big bear hug. We won in spite of coaching stupidity.

[shoeless joe]

Bianco with a huge assist for the dawgs tonite. In an attempt to avoid the tie he gains the loss

[MarketingBully]

We won in spite of Henderson. Not because of him. Great fight by our boys.

This team is winning inspite if Henderson. Imagine if we had a coach like a Tadlock, Schlossnagle, or McDonnell. This would be a close to 30 win team right now and fighting for a national seed. Our woes have been mismanagement 100% this year.

[MarketingBully]

Think about it. Our lineup is so out of whack that the best possible batters that could have come up to bat in the ninth was the 8, 9, and 1.

[Commercecomet24]

Proud of these kids! They keep fighting! I bet c34 is going crazy because Luke is killing the bears with his bat!

[dawgoneyall]

Folks...Henderson didn't want to use up arms tonight even if it is uofm. This weekend is more important.

[MarketingBully]

Luke has 7 RBIs in last 4 games... all wins vs top 10 teams

He has been awesome and I take it back from what I said earlier. If we get him and Stovall back next year to anchor the middle infield that’s a great start defensively. I don’t know if I would put him second in the lineup but he would probably be 3 or 4. Macnamee is starting to really come through as well but we have him buried towards the lower part of the lineup. Our freshmen are starting to hit too. If the draft doesn’t rob us of some of our juniors, the new coach will walk into a good offense. Self and Price should anchor the back part of the bullpen. I still say the right hire and we won’t miss a beat.

[MagicDawg]

Pages 8 and 9 of this thread are now hilarious even if they are fundamentally still relevant. :D

[Commercecomet24]

We are now 6-1 against top 10 teams! Amazing

[BeardoMSU]

[basedog]

Take him out Leave him in is a crap shoot. But walking the lead or winning run is just dumb!

I was shocked, you just don't see that often.

[MagicDawg]

I wonder what all of these individual players could do if, say, there was some kind of -- I don't know -- a knowledgeable strategist who thoughtfully assembled them and molded them into a force with an organized approach that consistently maximized their strengths and minimized their weaknesses, planned to use them in that way, and reacted swiftly and thoughtfully when circumstances indicated that a revised approach was necessary. Like they were managing the overall efforts and contributions in a systematic way. If only something like that existed!

[maroonmania]

Folks...Henderson didn't want to use up arms tonight even if it is uofm. This weekend is more important.

This is really irrelevant wrt France. If you warm him up and bring him in the wear and tear to get 3 outs vs 1 out given a win over a Top 10 team was at stake is really miniscule. And resume wise this win tonight was just as important as this weekend even though it didn't count in the SEC standings. Plus all our arms get 2 full days off after tonight prior to the weekend series.

[tcdog70]

Henderson is still an idiot. Great win in spite of him.

Is Smith our 17ing closer? He is ahead two strikes and he hangs a curve your Granny could smash. How is that Hendersons fault. If he had left France in and he got hit, then people say , wtf, where is Smith. Damn didn't we win? Is our team up from the ashes and playing their butts off? Could it be Henderson might be doing ok? Are we 6-1 against top 5 teams? Is that Hendersons fault? It is all subjective. Second guessing is for pussies.

[MarketingBully]

Henderson’s bungling and stupid decisions have at least cost us 6-7 games. He’s put wrong pitchers in, left pitchers in too long, and played players in positions they have never played in their life. At this point, the team is winning in spite of him.

[maroonmania]

Sometimes college pitchers trying to throw strikes can be a crap shoot.

[Bulldog1]

RPI at 35.

[Bully13]

I plead guilty. I just made a comment a little while back in passing so to speak on a term I got from 34. I was called out on it in too harsh a fashion and stated that I would relent. throwing in the towel to keep the peace so to speak.

But after what I saw today and what Luke Alexander has done of late, we should NEVER make fun of our players with silly nick names.

We should be more about 17 tusun, stupid coaching decisions , and other shit than making nicknames on those who sign the MSU doc making them Maroon and White.

Peace Out.

[Ari Gold]

Folks...Henderson didn't want to use up arms tonight even if it is uofm. This weekend is more important.

This is 100% Incorrect. He mismanaged that 9th inning as bad as one can.
Props to our players for bailing him out and getting a huge win tonight

Is Smith our 17ing closer? He is ahead two strikes and he hangs a curve your Granny could smash. How is that Hendersons fault. If he had left France in and he got hit, then people say , wtf, where is Smith. Damn didn't we win? Is our team up from the ashes and playing their butts off? Could it be Henderson might be doing ok? Are we 6-1 against top 5 teams? Is that Hendersons fault? It is all subjective. Second guessing is for pussies.

Don't you know, when we' successful it's because the players stepped up and over came...when the players don't execute its hendersons fault.

If France had started 9th.... game over.

How do you know that? Maybe or maybe not. Smith is our closer. 1.1 era, they bombed Him, he threw a shitty breaking ball up 2 strikes.

LA when asked about Bianco walking Jake to get to Luke....

“It pissed me off. I know (Mangum) is the best hitter in the SEC and has been for 2 years, but the way I looked at it was disrespect to me, saying I couldn’t get it done.”

His body language was terrible during and after his warm up pitches. I was thinking he looked like he knew he didn't have his best stuff.

RPI at 35.

Hell yeah! We just need to take care of bid'ness.


I tell ya what, this season has turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Henderson’s bungling and stupid decisions have at least cost us 6-7 games. He’s put wrong pitchers in, left pitchers in too long, and played players in positions they have never played in their life. At this point, the team is winning in spite of him.

Yep, I have faced palmed several games. But tonight it was on our pitchers not Henderson. Neff ****ed up and walked the lead-off man. smith is our closer and he gave up two seeds. That is not Hendersons fault. The stupidest move was by Bianco putting the winning run on first base. Now that is a real coaching dumbass move.

Luke Alexander aka “foam bat”. Sometimes I think C34 had his meltdown on purpose, because he knew “Belmont” would get the last laugh. How clutch has he been. Great interview after the game!

So now we need to watch out for body language, get the **** out.

[HoopsDawg]

Folks...Henderson didn't want to use up arms tonight even if it is uofm. This weekend is more important.

That's not why Henderson took him out. Henderson said himself in postgame it was a matchup thing. Said it just didn't work out.

?It pissed me off. I know (Mangum) is the best hitter in the SEC and has been for 2 years, but the way I looked at it was disrespect to me, saying I couldn?t get it done.?

LMAO!! did he really say that?

[tcdog70]

This is 100% Incorrect. He mismanaged that 9th inning as bad as one can.

How about our closers doing their jobs. Then the coach isn't a dumbass. neff should not walk the lead off, Smith shouldn't hang a shitty curve, then groove one for A Pinch hitter. If you can't go with your best closer, then who can you pitch.

So now we need to watch out for body language, get the **** out.

Damn straight!!! I absolutely stand by my statement. They showed his entire warm up and that is exactly what I was thinking. Once you've done it enough picking up on that stuff isn't really that hard.

And I'm not saying anything was different than how he normally is but it damn sure looked that way to me and he damn sure had shitty stuff. Take that how you will...

If Smith is the closer like you say, then why didn't he start the 9th. We bring in France who CLOSED the Arkansas game like a boss and he strikes out the batter he faces and then we pull him? No, No, No, that's the wrong decision and several of us said so before we almost blew it.

But enough about that, I enjoyed the hell out of that win.
