Same lineup as last night.

[I seen it dawg]

****ing execute pitches shit. Horrible breaking balls to LH hitters

[I seen it dawg]

As usual on Sunday we are losing heading to our half of 1. 1-0

[Leroy Jenkins]

Just started watching.... who had the E?

[I seen it dawg]

Gilbert threw one to Mangum in right center on a steal attempt

[Leroy Jenkins]

Gilbert threw one to Mangum in right center on a steal attempt

Gotcha. Thanks

[The Federalist Engineer]

JB don't got it today. He doesn't get stronger with innings- it's on or off

Better get Cole or Denver going about 2 batters ago

[I seen it dawg]

Foscue made a big time play this inning. An henderson continues to call sliders to LH hitters that J.B. can't execute.

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf is Gilbert doing. Frame a slider damn. Block balls half the time. We must not have anyone working on our defense with catchers.

[Bulldog1]

Gonna have to score.

[I seen it dawg]

Thank you for mixing in a damn fastball henderson. Foscue can play some defense. I don't understand why we can't play him everyday at 3b and Westburg at short. If Foambat just has to hit then DH him.

[The Federalist Engineer]

JB fought off a great AB to strand a runner - took 16 pitches to get Helman

[Bulldog1]

Home Run Stovall!

[msstate7]

Wow... I thought that was a can of corn. The wind must be carrying big time. Atta boy, Stovall

[Bulldog1]

Thank you for mixing in a damn fastball henderson. Foscue can play some defense. I don't understand why we can't play him everyday at 3b and Westburg at short. If Foambat just has to hit then DH him.

Foscue definitely needs to play everyday.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit we will take it. Hunter with a bomb.

[msstate7]

I realize you are probably just trolling, but westburg has a .936 fielding clip at 3b with only 36 assists, he has 3 errors. You want to plug him in at SS?

[Bulldog1]

Dumb move right there. Stupid.

[Bulldog1]

Hahahahaha! Scholarship player dropping a fly ball!

[msstate7]

Very nice that our runner ran hard to score

[I seen it dawg]

Gilbert was doing his job and scores on a drop fly ball with 2outs. 2-1 us.

[msstate7]

Exactly. Very easy to put put on what looks like an easy catch

[I seen it dawg]

I realize you are probably just trolling, but westburg has a .936 fielding clip at 3b with only 36 assists, he has 3 errors. You want to plug him in at SS?

Yeah i do bc it's his natural position. We aren't winning any titles. Let him play. Not arguing this with you.

[I seen it dawg]

Dammit jake would you please try to be patient every now and then and understand what they are doing. So selfish again. They are pitching around you with first base open and you swing at 2 balls and get yourself out. Selfish as hell. We are up 2-1 going to 3rd.

[msstate7]

Stovall

[Bulldog1]

Good play by Stovall.

[msstate7]

Please tell me the pen is up

[msstate7]

Pull em

[Bulldog1]

That was stupid.

[msstate7]

That may have been on foscue as much as rowdey. Runner coming to 3b, and foscue left base

[I seen it dawg]

We just won't call fastballs. It's ****ing lazy. If he can't command a fastball and you think you have to call curveballs then you aren't working hard enough on command.

[I seen it dawg]

We've fallen asleep on defense bc we can't throw strikes. This is ridiculous.

[Bulldog1]

Bad news bears.

[MarketingBully]

Henderson always leaves our pitchers in one to two batters too many.

[Bulldog1]

We should have 3 runs if that guy wouldn't have attempted to steal 2nd base.

[MarketingBully]

That may have been on foscue as much as rowdey. Runner coming to 3b, and foscue left base

That’s on Rowdey. There was no one on base. Why do you throw it to no one?

[msstate7]

That's the best angle this tv crew can get?

[I seen it dawg]

Well at least France is ready now. This blows how dogshit this game has been played.

[msstate7]

That’s on Rowdey. There was no one on base. Why do you throw it to no one?

Foscue left on his windup. Pretty sure someone should be covering 3b with a runner between 2b and 3b

[MarketingBully]

Dumb.

[I seen it dawg]

This is some bullshit. If we throw strikes this shit doesn't happen. Guys are ****ing asleep.

[The Federalist Engineer]

JB is killing us today, he should not have started the damned 2bd inning - now we are behind and damn it all

[msstate7]

Well at least France is ready now. This blows how dogshit this game has been played.

JB has to be on the shortest of short leashes. Should have a pitcher ready to go every inning he goes out there.

[MarketingBully]

Having Billingsley as our Sunday starter has absolutely killed us. How the hell is he our third best starter? Too inconsistent and he is a redshirt senior!

[KOdawg1]

France needs to be the Sunday starter from here on out. JB just lost his spot

[I seen it dawg]

Foscue left on his windup. Pretty sure someone should be covering 3b with a runner between 2b and 3b

I'll handle that one for you Baseball savants...it's the SS. Except he dove into LF and is out of playso the 3b stays home with a runner advancing from 1b. The LF either throws all the way to the plate or to 3b to take the out. It's why the runner was going to third to draw a throw to protect the run at the plate. Everyone on both teams did their job except Foscue.

[Percho]

That may have been on foscue as much as rowdey. Runner coming to 3b, and foscue left base

I agree. Where else does he have to go?

[I seen it dawg]

JB has to be on the shortest of short leashes. Should have a pitcher ready to go every inning he goes out there.

It's ridiculous a Sunday starter can't throw strikes.

[I seen it dawg]

I agree. Where else does he have to go?

He had a freshman moment. He's the cutoff guy usually but read my previous post on what happened. He reacted poorly.

[Todd4State]

So, we have JB melting down out there and Henderson visits the mound exactly ZERO times. That's another area where this inning should not have happened and how Henderson kills this team and how we have been winning in spite of him.

[MarketingBully]

JB is not a Sunday starter. He’s just not. He, along with the lineup that Gary trotted out there initially, put huge pressure on Pilk and Small.

[msstate7]

Crap! Kid misplayed it, but got it that time

[MarketingBully]

Got one back. 4-3. I feel good that we can win this if our pitchers just throw strikes.

[Todd4State]

JB is not a Sunday starter. He’s just not. He, along with the lineup that Gary trotted out there initially, put huge pressure on Pilk and Small.

He's better served as a midweek guy but the thing about it is he is either really on or way off and there isn't much in between. If he's off which he is about half the time we have to get him out of there.

Henderson meanwhile just sits on his ass.

[Percho]

He had a freshman moment. He's the cutoff guy usually but read my previous post on what happened. He reacted poorly.

Yep I posted before I saw yours. Makes sense to pull there with the ss covering.

[msstate7]

France has struggled with aTm. I would be careful with him

[Bulldog1]

Are we winning? I had to run somewhere.

[msstate7]

Are we winning? I had to run somewhere.

4-3 aTm t4

[msstate7]

Very nice. France may be getting it rolling

[Bulldog1]

4-3 aTm t4

Thanks.

[I seen it dawg]

We keep skating by. They have baserunners all over the place and we only down by one somehow. Let's get in their pen this starter for them isn't real good.

[msstate7]

Dang.

[MarketingBully]

How did we not challenge that? It looked like the rightfielder trapped it.

[msstate7]

2 hard hit balls and nothing to show for it.

[msstate7]

How did we not challenge that? It looked like the rightfielder trapped it.

He caught it. All our fans sat down at once... dead giveaway lol

[MarketingBully]

2 hard hit balls and nothing to show for it.

That first hard hit ball the rightfielder trapped it. But Because these asshats are interviewing the A&M pitcher we didn’t get to see it.

[msstate7]

Run mangum

[MarketingBully]

The two errors we made and JBs struggles with two outs have been the difference in this game so far.

[MarketingBully]

How big is this ump’s strike zone? Seems microscopic to me.

[MarketingBully]

Big inning for France puts them down 1-2-3.

[I seen it dawg]

That is why France should be Sunday guy. He can make an adjustment in the at bat. He got under the first pitch change to the last hitter and made an adjustment and got on top on the strikeout.

[Percho]

How big is this ump’s strike zone? Seems microscopic to me.

Almost as big as a baseball.

[I seen it dawg]

Hmmmmm Pilk number 12 college prospect according to D1 baseball.

[msstate7]

Hmmmmm Pilk number 12 college prospect according to D1 baseball.

I think that is generous. June will tell

[I seen it dawg]

Great at bat from our 4 hole. First pitch cement mixer pop up. Unreal.

[Bulldog1]

Great at bat from our 4 hole. First pitch cement mixer pop up. Unreal.

Should be batting around 8th.

[msstate7]

Troll, troll, troll... you were no where to be found Tuesday night after Alexander walked off OM, again.

[I seen it dawg]

He should. Would see more fastballs which he can handle

[MarketingBully]

Why??????

[I seen it dawg]

Great throw by LF (and SS) it was the correct baserunning move

[Bulldog1]

Ughh.

[I seen it dawg]

Troll, troll, troll... you were no where to be found Tuesday night after Alexander walked off OM, again.

You weren't looking hard enough. He had a good at bat bc he got a stupidly called fastball from Bianco. But he took advantage.

[Percho]

A catcher, by trade?

[MarketingBully]

Henderson on Foscue trying to stretch a single into a double, ?Youthful exuberance.?

[MarketingBully]

A catcher, by trade?

He hit the cutoff man. Shumake made the play.

[Ari Gold]

Hmmmmm Pilk number 12 college prospect according to D1 baseball.

But he is an Average Friday starter at best ...

[I seen it dawg]

And he's now 1 for his last 16. He's fn hitting .224 mstate 7. .224!!!

[MarketingBully]

You weren't looking hard enough. He had a good at bat bc he got a stupidly called fastball from Bianco. But he took advantage.

Both walkoffs were fastballs.

[I seen it dawg]

Henderson needs to stfu and worry about pitch calling

[I seen it dawg]

Both walkoffs were fastballs.

Yep

[msstate7]

Must see a lot of fastballs... he is team leader in RBIs and HRs (in conference and out)

[msstate7]

And he's now 1 for his last 16. He's fn hitting .224 mstate 7. .224!!!

Team leader in RBIs and HRs. Has 7 rbi is last 7 games.

ETA... oops, 8 RBIs in last 7 games

[MarketingBully]

Watch Macnamee get a basehit or double leading off here. That stretching a single into a double by Foscue could loom big.

[msstate7]

Both walkoffs were fastballs.

Do fastball walkoffs not count? You two douches are pathetic to continue to bash a kid that is the team leader in HRs (in and out of conference), RBIs (in conference and out), and plays good defense at SS.

[MarketingBully]

Well stretching the single into a double let them go to the bullpen with a clean inning. Great.

[MarketingBully]

I’m not bashing Alexander. I said he should bat 4th. I just pointed out both walkoffs were fastballs. He’s should have never of batted second though.

[msstate7]

My apologies. ISID has be triggered haha

[msstate7]

We just bunted a runner to 2b with 1 out! Lol

[Bulldog1]

Bet he don't lead in BA.

[Bulldog1]

Hendersoning.

[MarketingBully]

We just bunted a runner to 2b with 1 out! Lol

This would be such a better team if we had the elite coach for this year. Hell if Cann would have been all in focused and not screwing around, he could have had another 40 win season.

[MarketingBully]

Dumb play Foscue.

[msstate7]

Bet he don't lead in BA.

If you could be team leader in avg, HR, or RBI, which one you pick? Avg, I'm sure...

[BeardoMSU]

Score?

[Bulldog1]

If you could be team leader in avg, HR, or RBI, which one you pick? Avg, I'm sure...

What's his results today? He was 0-9 first two games. He has some pop, but even YOU yourself said he's not a good hitter.

[msstate7]

That bunt last inning took the bat out of Hatcher and mangum's hands. If you can't trust Hatcher there, PH

[msstate7]

What's his results today? He was 0-9 first two games. He has some pop, but even YOU yourself said he's not a good hitter.

0-2, bb
Last 7 games, 8 RBIs... you sit him bc of a couple O-fors?

ETA... FF is 1 for his last 10. Even the best of hitters don't kill it every day. Best not to get caught up SSSs

[Bulldog1]

Balk. Terrible.

[Bulldog1]

0-2, bb
Last 7 games, 8 RBIs... you sit him bc of a couple O-fors?

Where did I say sit him?

[MarketingBully]

Wheels coming off.

[MarketingBully]

Balk. Terrible.

Bad call by the ump imo and even the announcers said so. Didn’t matter anyway due to Jordan error.

[MaroonFlounder]

Blowing this game.

[Ari Gold]

If you could be team leader in avg, HR, or RBI, which one you pick? Avg, I'm sure...

Bottom line is this .. and it’s not a shot at Belmont LA Foambat whatever you want to call him
A JR SS for an SEC school that plays every day every inning should not be arguably the worse Hitting SS in the league period ..
that’s no knock against the kid
He is what the back of his baseball card says
He just can’t hit . He plays a very solid SS he is just a below average SS

What’s funny is a handful here used to rip Gridley about not being a SS caliber SS .. how ****ing Dumb do they look now

[Bass Chaser]

5-3

[BeardoMSU]

Score?

Well *******it?

[MarketingBully]

3 errors in this game by us. Hard to be a pitcher with that kind of defense.

[BeardoMSU]

5-3

thanks.

[msstate7]

Delete

[MarketingBully]

That balk was bad and I’ll tell you why. He basically just called a balk on a call based on France’s pitching stance that he has done all game long. France even did it on that last batter too. Ump’s should not call that if it’s part of a pitcher’s rotation and there’s no deception.

[msstate7]

We have bunted a runner to 2b with 1 out, and now bunting 1 guy to 2b down 2. This is the dumbest thing ever. If you don't trust Alexander to hit, PH

[SaintDawg]

Bad call by the ump imo and even the announcers said so. Didn’t matter anyway due to Jordan error.

Bullshit balk call. There was slight movement but he did stop prior to the pitch. Just not long enough for the ump's liking.

[msstate7]

First off, Alexander, do your dang job no matter how stupid it is. With that said, we have the dumbest coaching staff in the country with these last 2 bunt calls. PH if you don't trust the batter!

[MarketingBully]

[I seen it dawg]

Bunting with our 4 hole down 2. Amazing. Except i see it bc he is hitting .223

[Ari Gold]

Says a lot when ur bunting ur 4hole ( team leader in HR and RBI ) down 2 with 1 on and no outs.. and as dumb as that is
LA can’t get the bunt down .. that says even more

[msstate7]

Bunting with our 4 hole down 2. Amazing. Except i see it bc he is hitting .223

Leader in HRs and RBIs... a hr would've tied it

[Bulldog1]

Unacceptable to bunt there. If You can't trust him, PH.

[I seen it dawg]

My apologies. ISID has be triggered haha

Triggered at the fact if he's such an rbi and HR machine as you keep spouting he's not bunting down 2 facing a puss throwing LH with a man on. That's the time your JR cleanup hitter leading the team in rbis and hr should hit. But he can't.

[MarketingBully]

Once again questionable coaching decisions will end up costing us this game. Hendersoning. I really don’t know why I watch these Sunday games. We’ve won only two of them in the SEC and most of our Sunday losses have been because Henderson is an idiot.

[Bulldog1]

Leader in HRs and RBIs... a hr would've tied it

You know what I just thought about? You say Pilk is average for a Friday night starter, so where do you think Alexander ranks among SEC shortstops?

[I seen it dawg]

Leader in HRs and RBIs... a hr would've tied it

Yeah it would have but he struck out.

Didn't realize it was Alexander's call, DA

Glove... upper 5
Bat... lower 5

[msstate7]

Ball game... calling bunts is stupid

[SaintDawg]

Damn it! They're hittin us where we ain't.

[msstate7]

Glad we were playing for 1 run the last 2 innings. We will lose by 5

[bostondawg]

I can't wait to have an actual coaching staff.

[MarketingBully]

I’ll just go with what I said once Henderson became the interim. No more investment for me in this season. Let’s just get this over with.

[I seen it dawg]

Glove... upper 5
Bat... lower 5

Name 4 lower than him with bat. You can't dad. You can't bc they don't get to keep playing and damn sure don't hit in the top of the lineup.

[I seen it dawg]

I can't wait to have an actual coaching staff.

Halle****inglujah on that one

[Bulldog1]

Henderson is garbage.

[KOdawg1]

As frustrating as this is, just back off the ledge a little bit. We still have a shot at the postseason regardless of the outcome of today's game.

[I seen it dawg]

Where in the muther**** has Breaux been?????

[Bulldog1]

Henderson is choking what little life we had out of this team. He is detrimental to the entire program. Cut bait with him now.

[Ari Gold]

Where in the muther**** has Breaux been?????

Breaux was in the Tiki Hut with Hobbie . I think he had on his pure boost turfs when he toed the rubber

[msstate7]

Name 4 lower than him with bat. You can't dad. You can't bc they don't get to keep playing and damn sure don't hit in the top of the lineup.

Gomez, Dawson, manning, and kaiser. Gomez and kaiser are my favorite with the glove though. Dawson, manning, and Kaiser have decent avg, but all have single digit extra base hits. Although Kaiser isn't a good hitter, he would be my first pick of sec SS...his glove is outstanding

ETA... it's Cornelius, not Gomez at mizzou. Couldn't remember his name so I looked at box score. For some reason, Gomez has taken over for Cornelius.

[Ari Gold]

Short version .. No one .

Maybe I should create an alter to back myself up. Do you really think people don't know you are ISID? Jeez

[The Federalist Engineer]

Been recovering from TJ- would have been awesome if he could recover like Ethan Small

[msstate7]

Been recovering from TJ- would have been awesome if he could recover like Ethan Small

Really need him and ashcraft next season

[msstate7]

Is cole really staring a guy down after a k while we down 4 in the 9th?

[I seen it dawg]

Easy with the chest pounding Cole. We are losing chief.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Jay Powell on radio has been great today, made this bad performance tolerable

[MarketingBully]

I’d move Stovall and Macnamee up to the 4 and 5 spots and move Alexander down to 6. Then I would start Anderson in the DH spot in the 9 hole and call it a day. I’d also move France to the Sunday role so we actually have a better chance to win Sunday games and we don’t put so much pressure on the bullpen on Sundays.

[msstate7]

He has been great every game I've listened to. Really helps our radio.

Westburg (dh)

[MarketingBully]

Yeah but he pitched early April and never again. I don't get not using him.

Self has been ready to go the last couple of weeks but he hasn’t even sniffed being put in. He could be key if we made the move to put France as the Sunday starter.

[MarketingBully]

Jake
Rowdey
Stovall
Allen
Foscue
Macnamee
Alexander
Gilbert
Westburg (dh)

I like that lineup but I’d start Anderson at the DH just to give him more at bats and he’s shown he can produce when given the chance. Plus, Hatcher and Westburg seem to have hit that freshman wall. Anderson also has elite speed and it would put a shit ton of pressure on the pitcher and defense to face Anderson, Mangum, and Jordan.

[I seen it dawg]

Self has been ready to go the last couple of weeks but he hasn’t even sniffed being put in. He could be key if we made the move to put France as the Sunday starter.

Yeah i don't get it. Weve got guys that aren't hurt and we all we run out of the pen on wkds is neff, France, Gordon, and smith. Just don't get it

[I seen it dawg]

There another rbi ...yeah!

[msstate7]

There another rbi ...yeah!

You act they were all meaningless.

This is perhaps the premier closer in the sec that is death on Rh hitters. Wasn't a bad AB imo... hard hit to right side... just right at someone.

[I seen it dawg]

Can't get anywhere if we don't throw strikes and sleepwalk on Sundays. Oh well. On to pizza.

He didn't strike out and put it in play so have to give him credit. Honestly i expected a K. Did not hope for a k which I'm sure you were ready to jump on just expected.

Winning the SEC tennis title today at least softens the blow a little for a crappy baseball weekend. While it would be nice to get into the NCAAs its pretty obvious to me that this team isn't going to make a lot of noise if they do get in. This A&M team just lost a series to TN last weekend. They were ripe to be beaten on the road (where they aren't nearly as good) and we couldn't do it. Wish we could have spread some of those 11 runs on Saturday to one of the other games. Bad part is that our pitching is pretty thin and will even get worse next year.

[basedog]

I just hope we didn't peak, but I'm afraid we have.

Well its at least a real accomplishment. This baseball team isn't going to accomplish squat. Softball either.

ETA: Can someone please give those awful black on black uniforms to Goodwill never to be seen again?

[basedog]

Well its at least a real accomplishment. This baseball team isn't going to accomplish squat. Softball either.

I did say that is great. I'm sick about this baseball season. I'd love to see us getting into the NCAA tourney if for nothing else the experience. But honestly I want to see who our next HC is gonna be right now.

I have not a clue any names of our tennis team. Hell I can't name one guy on the disc golf National Championship team. Lol

[Dawgcap]

I totally agree! Our sports programs are for shit. We should be dominant in this nothing conference in all sports.

Henderson is garbage.

Cann and Henderson have made a 40 win team into a .500 team.

I honestly wonder if we would have been better if we would have just let the players take over like Varsity Blues.

Just wondering how you coach us to 10 more wins based on your decisions. Without the hindsight.

[Pit Bull]

Home Run Stovall!

Yeah that was a monster 320 foot wind aided blast to RF. Now if we could just teach all our hitters to hit it right down the line, but just a little bit fair.....with a 305' corner we should be able to up our bottom of the league HR totals considerably.

[I seen it dawg]

It went out

Yeah that was a monster 320 foot wind aided blast to RF. Now if we could just teach all our hitters to hit it right down the line, but just a little bit fair.....with a 305' corner we should be able to up our bottom of the league HR totals considerably.

Just wondering how you coach us to 10 more wins based on your decisions. Without the hindsight.

Cann is probably 2-3 wins right off the bat alone.

To me, criticizing fans for hindsight is reasonable only when a coach makes a REASONABLE move or decision and it doesn't work out. When you have a coach that is NOT making reasonable decisions THAT is when a coach is open for criticism. For example- not making any mound visits when JB was struggling and giving up runs after we took the lead. Or bunting down two runs in the seventh inning with a guy that leads the team in home runs.

Those are things that Henderson not only did today but CONSISTENTLY does and it has without a doubt in my mind cost us wins.

This isn't about hindsight- it's about playing the percentages and having the common sense to know that when a pitcher is getting knocked around you don't just leave them out there to rot or just hope for the best. Because hindsight says those things probably weren't going to work anyway to start with.

How about just putting your players in the best chance to succeed which ultimately is what a great head coach does. Henderson has demonstrated throughout this season either by lineup, by position, decisions on starting pitching and relief pitching and finally on when to take said pitchers out that he isn?t even an average coach. He?s cost us at least 6-7 games by his idiocy alone in all phases of the game. As I stated earlier, a fully focused Cann with no fooling around could have squeezed a 40 win season out of this team.

Look I love and always respect your thoughts. You probably have forgot more about baseball than I will ever know. But my point is different decisions might make a difference but if we change a decision are the opposition not going to counter it? I see the little things like mound visits but at the end of it our guys have to produce when called upon. Now if we are playing guys that shouldn?t be out there I agree. The SEC is wide open with a lot of teams in the running including us. Should we have won a few more? Probably!

And I agree Cann cost us 2-3 maybe more but that’s not on this staff. It’s a tough situation but I think at the end of it no matter who makes a decision our guys have to finish the deal. We didn’t finish this weekend after doing so against teams we shouldn’t have beat. Woulsyof loved 1 more this weekend but it’s time for the guys to play their A game. If they don’t. This season will be done soon

It's not that black and white as "well, if we did this then they would have done that so it wouldn't really matter". There are certain things that a coach can do to increase the odds of winning the game or getting a favorable result. That's why stats are such a big part of the game and having gotten more and more advanced over the years.

For example if you have a pitcher that is struggling and you go out and talk to them on the mound- it can range from a minor mechanical adjustment to just simply getting them to re-focus- those INCREASE the odds of the pitcher getting a hitter out. And let's say Henderson went out there and they still hit JB anyway- at least there is the comfort in knowing that the coach did everything that he could do to give us the best chance to get a favorable outcome. Henderson didn't do that so it falls back on him.

Same thing with the bunting. When you are down by two and you have nine outs left you don't want to give away an out especially when you have a guy that is leading your team in home runs at the plate. Especially when there is only one runner on base and getting him home still means that you are down by one.
