[msstate7]

Nice AB, rowdey. Swing and miss 3 times

[MaroonFlounder]

How does Alabama own the overall series record against us? That baffles me.

[msstate7]

Come on pilk

[Bully13]

We gotta get our MOJO back tonight and this weekend. Need to take this weekend series fosho.

[msstate7]

We gotta get our MOJO back tonight and this weekend. Need to take this weekend series fosho.

2 out of 3 is a must. Lose this series, and it's over

[Bulldog1]

It's hard to even be interested anymore.

[msstate7]

lol... I'll take it. That is outside. Hit the mit though

[msstate7]

Jake's reputation saved a run. Pilk has bases loaded, 1 out. Need a ground ball

[msstate7]

Grand slam... we down 4-0. Good thing our sec elite is on the mound

[msbulldog]

WELL DAMN!

[Bulldog1]

OUTSTANDING!!! Already down 4-0. Didn't take long to get out of hand.

[msstate7]

Pilk sec era is 4.79. He has faced 6 batters and given up 4 hits, 1 k, and a walk.

[msstate7]

OUTSTANDING!!! Already down 4-0. Didn't take long to get out of hand.

Still arguing on pilk's greatness?

[msstate7]

7 batters = 4 h, 2 HBP, 1 k

[msbulldog]

Damn, I wish somebody besides Eli Gold was doing play by play. Eli's voice grates on my nerves.

[msstate7]

Damn, I wish somebody besides Eli Gold was doing play by play. Eli's voice grates on my nerves.

Kinda like it

[Bulldog1]

Still arguing on pilk's greatness?
If he pitches on Sunday, this wouldn't happen.

[Bulldog1]

Btw, you also said Pilk's numbers don't matter and it doesn't reflect how good he is.

[msstate7]

If he pitches on Sunday, this wouldn't happen.

I'm not making excuses for him. Pilk should be better than he has performed this year. I don't think he has great stuff, but it is good enough to do much better vs sec teams than he has. Not sure what his deal is

[Bulldog1]

I'm not making excuses for him. Pilk should be better than he has performed this year. I don't think he has great stuff, but it is good enough to do much better vs sec teams than he has. Not sure what his deal is

I do agree he should be better, but I'm not going to sit here and say he sucks.

[msstate7]

Btw, you also said Pilk's numbers don't matter and it doesn't reflect how good he is.

Huh? I've said all along this year that I'm not impressed with him stuff that much. He is upper 88-89 mostly early and mid 80s after 70 pitches. He essentially has to trick batters to get Ks. He leads sec is Ks looking.. he rarely gets swing and misses.

ETA... he's lost velocity since freshman year

[msstate7]

I do agree he should be better, but I'm not going to sit here and say he sucks.

Saying avg sec Friday night guy is hardly saying he sucks. He just is not elite

[MaroonFlounder]

GS #2 coming up?

[msstate7]

GS #2 coming up?

Nope. Let's get em back. Settle in, pilk

[Bulldog1]

Saying avg sec Friday night guy is hardly saying he sucks. He just is not elite

Well, were did I say Pilk was great? I have argued with your stance on him being average for a Friday night starter- never one time have I said he was great.

[msstate7]

Well, were did I say Pilk was great? I have argued with your stance on him being average for a Friday night starter- never one time have I said he was great.

The better than avg sec Friday night guys are elite... mize, Knight, singer, and Rolison

[MaroonFlounder]

Rally Dawgs have their work cut out for them.

[msstate7]

I'm pissed at the start, but I think we can come back. Bama is not good.

[msstate7]

I look at it like this... 4 pitchers I mentioned are better than avg on Friday nights, 5-10 are avg (pilk is in this group), and 11-14 are below avg.

[msstate7]

What a great AB by Gilbert

[Bulldog1]

The better than avg sec Friday night guys are elite... mize, Knight, singer, and Rolison

I would rate those guys in the elite, Pilkington in the above average. I would have tiers as- elite, above avg, avg, below avg.

[msstate7]

I would rate those guys in the elite, Pilkington in the above average. I would have tiers as- elite, above avg, avg, below avg.

I guess we just arguing semantics then. I think pilk has underperformed this year, but I still put him in the 5-7 group of pitchers for sec Friday nights

[msstate7]

Nice answer from dawgs.

[Bulldog1]

Rolison is 2nd on OM's staff in walks with a 3.26 ERA. Might want to group him with Pilkington.

[msstate7]

Rolison is 2nd on OM's staff in walks with a 3.26 ERA. Might want to group him with Pilkington.

11.13 k9 3.53 bb9

I can live with that

[Bulldog1]

11.13 k9 3.53 bb9

I can live with that

For comparisons sake, and out of curiosity, what is Pilk's?

[BeardoMSU]

Dinger!

[Bulldog1]

In the midst of this argument, We take a 5-4 lead! Yea!

[msstate7]

Rowdey has the worst AB of the game, and then totally avenges himself. Dawgs 5-4.

[MaroonFlounder]

Rowdy!

[msstate7]

For comparisons sake, and out of curiosity, what is Pilk's?

9.26 k9 1.85 bb9

Numbers look good, but it goes into the 7s k9 in sec play. Pilk had the best numbers in the country perhaps in OOC, but has been hit (hard at times) in the sec.

[msstate7]

Stratton is not being treated well by my braves

[msstate7]

Atta boy, pilk... get ground balls

[Bulldog1]

9.26 k9 1.85 bb9

Numbers look good, but it goes into the 7s k9 in sec play. Pilk had the best numbers in the country perhaps in OOC, but has been hit (hard at times) in the sec.

So Rolison has 2 more K/9 but Pilk has 2 less BB/9.

[msstate7]

Good inning, pilk. Get us to the 6th

[msstate7]

So Rolison has 2 more K/9 but Pilk has 2 less BB/9.

In conference...
RR - 10.7 k9. 3.6 bb9
KP - 7.0 k9 2.6 bb9

Doesn't include tonight

[Bulldog1]

RR - 10.7 k9. 3.6 bb9

They are in the same group- above avg. If you say Rolison is in elite group, so is Pilk imo.

[Bulldog1]

Top 4 Up 5-4.

[msstate7]

They are in the same group- above avg. If you say Rolison is in elite group, so is Pilk imo.

You could be right. Both are getting roughed up tonight

[Bulldog1]

Up 5-4 Top 5.

[msstate7]

Nice play... good hustle pilk

ETA... may not stand up though

[msstate7]

Big K by pilk

[Saltydog]

pounded tonight.

[msstate7]

Pilk gives up 3-run double. 7-5 bama... pilk out after 4.2

[MarketingBully]

Big K by pilk

You were saying...

[msstate7]

pounded tonight.

3rd round or so imo

[MarketingBully]

Pilk gives up 3-run double. 7-5 bama... pilk out after 4.2

0-2 count HBP hurt like hell.

[msstate7]

You were saying...

It was a big k. Unfortunately, it was followed by a free pass and a double

[MarketingBully]

It was a big k. Unfortunately, it was followed by a free pass and a double

2 walks and 3 HBP is not your ace. He gave 5 free passes and all scored.

[MaroonFlounder]

Keith Holcombe was a football commit for us once upon a time...until a Bama offer came.

[Bulldog1]

Well…… This is embarrassing.

[Bully13]

Oh NO! We Suck uhGAIN!!!!v

[MaroonFlounder]

TN is winning at UK.

This Bulldog team is still not guaranteed a spot in Hoover.

[MarketingBully]

Where are they positioning Luke Alexander? He missed two slow rolling balls that went as base hits because he was positioned poorly and Alabama scored again because of it.

[preachermatt83]

Whoever is shifting our players around has cost us 3 runs. Magnum playing normal depth gets to that 3run double and the last RBI basehit was a routine grounder to short if Belmont is not shaded over 5 steps.

[preachermatt83]

This^^

[msstate7]

MLB teams have analytic depts that are very smart and spend countless hours scouting opponents. MLB teams know how to shift. College staffs do not have the manpower to figure out shifting... probably best to not overshift a lot

[Lord McBuckethead]

Also the announcers went two entire batters without mentioning who was at bat and what the count was.

[Bulldog1]

I don't trust this staff to give any analytical orders.

Hendersoning...I’ll be so glad when this shit is over.

[msstate7]

To be fair, they want this season over as bad as me.

[Bulldog1]

Hendersoning...I’ll be so glad when this shit is over.

Lol, I hear you. It's about to be over for me. He is this one of this team's MAJOR problems.

[MarketingBully]

Every coach should be house cleaned when we get our new coach. This is embarrassing 11-5 Alabama.

[Bulldog1]

Dang. I'm sitting here having a meltdown over the Braves, I forgot about Ms State getting crushed. What a bad night for my teams!

[MaroonFlounder]

Ole Piss is getting raped by the cocks....so there’s that. :rolleyes:

[Quaoarsking]

We got a game again!

[msstate7]

We got a game again!

Yes we do. Bama is really bad

[MaroonFlounder]

What happened?

[Bulldog1]

Down 11-8, we have bases loaded no outs!

[msstate7]

What happened?

11-8 bama t8 bases loaded 0 outs

[Bully13]

all I know from Fort Worth is that is that our pitching has sucked ass.

[msstate7]

Get smith ready

[Bulldog1]

11-10. 2nd and 3rd no outs.

[Bulldog1]

TIED GAME!!!

[msstate7]

Great comeback. Please finish this, pitching staff

[Bully13]

Ok, live stats say we've tied it 11-11 . oh , now we're up 12-11. wtf. let's just win. score more . wtf.

[MarketingBully]

7 run inning to take the lead 12-11. Wow!

[Bulldog1]

Let's keep them from scoring in these last 2 innings.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I feel like the only living guy in Jonestown after all the kool-aid was drank- but this game will pivot on who finds a way to lose last

[Bulldog1]

Credit to our players. They never quit!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Credit to our players. They never quit!

True that...but Bama also sucks

[msstate7]

Gotta make that play, alexander. Ruled a hit, but gotta get that out

[Pit Bull]

Dont think one run lead will gitter done.

[I seen it dawg]

Gotta make that play, alexander. Ruled a hit, but gotta get that out

Yes

[I seen it dawg]

We are ****ed

[msstate7]

Gotta put that in your pocket, foscue

[MaroonFlounder]

They do better when I don’t watch. Y’all keep updating.

[msstate7]

We are ****ed

We refuse to succeed

[Bulldog1]

We can't hold them.

[I seen it dawg]

,gonna roll 2

[Bulldog1]

I don't think we're winning.

[msstate7]

6-4-3 or 4-6-3 please

[I seen it dawg]

**** yeah

[Bulldog1]

Let's score right here.

[Quaoarsking]

Can't believe we got out of that just giving up 1 run

[msstate7]

Outstanding, France

[I seen it dawg]

Get one and finish this

[msstate7]

Y'all remember the 15 inning or whatever game last year vs bama? Think we do it again?

[I seen it dawg]

Let's go ****

[Bulldog1]

Middle 9th. Tied 12-12. Got to hold them here.

[I seen it dawg]

Well neff is loose. Means loss

[msstate7]

Defense letting us down

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf Allen. Doesn't ever get in front of shit,goddammit

[msstate7]

Always wondered why catcher holds arm out on intentional walk. Does pitcher just like a target to throw to?

[Bulldog1]

Balk. I'm going by live stats. Was it legit?

[Bulldog1]

Bases loaded. We HAVE to get this guy out.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol,seriously

[I seen it dawg]

Balk. I'm going by live stats. Was it legit?

Yes. Guy couldn't come set. Little league shit

[msstate7]

Welp... this could be it

[Bulldog1]

Here comes Neff.

[I seen it dawg]

Always wondered why catcher holds arm out on intentional walk. Does pitcher just like a target to throw to?

That's baseball

[Bulldog1]

Yes. Guy couldn't come set. Little league shit

That's ridiculous.

[I seen it dawg]

Well muther****. We pitch our Sunday starter for,45 and pull him

[msstate7]

Not sure we should IBB walk guys with our control problems

[Bulldog1]

Whew... got to score here.

[I seen it dawg]

Left on right

[msstate7]

Neff does great job there

[I seen it dawg]

Not sure we should IBB walk guys with our control problems

Thats ok

[The Federalist Engineer]

Well muther****. We pitch our Sunday starter for,45 and pull him

We will need some innings from Small tomorrow cause we used up France and James today .... maybe also Neff if this games goes long

[Leroy Jenkins]

Balk. I'm going by live stats. Was it legit?

He dropped the ball into his glove, so then had to go back into the glove to catch the fumbled ball..... balk.

[msstate7]

Macnamee is a terribly slow starter. He has stunk for 2/3 and then got on fire at the end of both seasons here

[Bulldog1]

YEAHHHHHHH

[Bulldog1]

That's why Foscue should play every game.

[msstate7]

Foscue is gonna be the next renfroe, rooker type player here

[I seen it dawg]

**** yeah freshman

[BeardoMSU]

Dinger!

[Bulldog1]

Let's hold them. I think we will.

[I seen it dawg]

Great AB Mangum. Wtf

[I seen it dawg]

Well let's go neff

[Bulldog1]

Lead off single. Uh oh.

[Bulldog1]

Wild pitch.

[I seen it dawg]

No one makes out catchers work

[The Federalist Engineer]

Now we hit a dude, 6th hit batsman of the day

[I seen it dawg]

We are so ****ing predictable. Ridiculous

[Bulldog1]

Ballgame!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Double Play - Stovall! Final!

Christians 14 Infadels 12

[Bulldog1]

Line out double play to end the game. We win 14-12 in 10 innings.

[VandelayIndustries]

Never in doubt fellas

[I seen it dawg]

Loll good win

[msstate7]

We survive. Get another one tomorrow. Good win

[Percho]

That's Baseball!

[Bulldog1]

Hope Small is strong tomorrow. What time is the game?

[mstatefan91]

That was one of the most bizarre games I’ve watched this year.

[msstate7]

Hope Small is strong tomorrow. What time is the game?

6

[The Federalist Engineer]

We burned France and James from the Pen - Neff only throws 19 pitches, so could be back on Sunday

Alabama burns Medders (their best reliever) - Duarte only throws 19 pitches also (Bama's #2 reliever)

[MarketingBully]

I’ll take the win but Henderson is the biggest idiot coach I have ever seen. Ump gives you six inches off the outside part of the plate and what do we do? Pitch inside to the tune of six hit batters and five of those guys scored.

[Bulldog1]

6

Thanks.

[msstate7]

We burned France and James from the Pen - Neff only throws 19 pitches, so could be back on Sunday

Alabama burns Medders (their best reliever) - Duarte only throws 19 pitches also (Bama's #2 reliever)

Sunday game could be really ugly for both teams

[Dawgology]

That was a close one but much needed. Hail State

[MarketingBully]

We burned France and James from the Pen - Neff only throws 19 pitches, so could be back on Sunday

Alabama burns Medders (their best reliever) - Duarte only throws 19 pitches also (Bama's #2 reliever)

Someone should tell Henderson if the ump gives you almost a full plate outside pitch outside. He was intentionally having our pitchers pitch inside as I watched our catcher crouch inside. Between the positioning and the pitch calling, Henderson about gave Alabama this game.

[mstatefan91]

Sunday game could be really ugly for both teams

Uh 14-12 is pretty ugly lol

[Bulldog1]

Sunday game could be really ugly for both teams

Well tomorrow won't be pretty either haha.

[maroonmania]

Amazing we were able to score 14 runs on a night where Mangum was 0-5.

[msstate7]

Uh 14-12 is pretty ugly lol

And both teams used one of their best starters and best relievers. Imagine when Gordon and their version of gordon get out there

[msstate7]

Amazing we were able to score 14 runs on a night where Mangum was 0-5.

This offense has made amazing strides this year imo

[mstatefan91]

24-20 anybody? That’d be something

[msstate7]

24-20 anybody? That’d be something

Probably be 2-1 haha

[Cloak]

Line out double play to end the game. We win 14-12 in 10 innings.

Got on a flight and didn't buy the wifi because I thought it was a lost cause by the way the thread was talking. Landed to see us winning in 10... should of bought the damn wifi.

[BeardoMSU]

Imagine when Gordon and their version of gordon get out there

Small wins tomorrow 3-0

Nah don’t buy it. WiFi should be included

It's not a MSU baseball game if there isn't Hendersoning.

Unless it's the USM series and in that case it was sexting.

I'm totally not understanding this especially since he's a pitching coach. just damn.

1, 2, 4 no 3

[The Federalist Engineer]

I'm totally not understanding this especially since he's a pitching coach. just damn.

Henderson seems overwhelmed in the post game interviews, like he watched a different game. To his credit, he sometimes asks Jim Ellis to remind him of the key play.

He needs to drink some of that ginseng B12 energy coffee. Or take some Vyvanse or Adderol pills. The coffee is probably cheaper.

[tcdog70]

And both teams used one of their best starters and best relievers. Imagine when Gordon and their version of gordon get out there

You seem to forget that Gordon has pitched well on occasion. We would not have advance last year without him. He might fool you if given the opportunity. But you love some negativity.

[msstate7]

Haha... Cole has given us some decent outings; but you know like I do, he is not one of our better relievers. His era is 5.34 and bb9 is 5.94

[The Federalist Engineer]

Haha... Cole has given us some decent outings; but you know like I do, he is not one of our better relievers. His era is 5.34 and bb9 is 5.94

Cole is as reliable as JB, James, and almost France. Cole just needs clean starts so his 55 foot pitches don't move runners around.

All these guys can totally crap the bed on any given outing. At Mizzou, Cole gave us 6 big innings and it was leibelt and France that collapsed

There was an error but the bases were loaded at Mizzou

[msstate7]

Cole is as reliable as JB, James, and almost France.

All these guys can totally crap the bed on any given outing.

Stats don't bear that out...

Cole...
5.34 era 1.53 whip 9.79 k9 5.93 bb9

JB...
4.62 era 1.51 whip 8.51 k9 4.93 bb9

James...
3.00 era 1.44 whip 9.00 k9 3.25 bb9

France...
3.21 era 1.36 whip 10.96 k9 3.74 bb9

France and James have been considerably better. Cole and JB's walk rate makes them borderline unusable... unfortunately, we have no choice but to use them

[basedog]

And Bama isn't like the 61 Yankees, our pitching should be ok as well as our hitters! It's a must to win one more game but like Todd stated we almost need to sweep, get it done today and we all will fill better.

[tcdog70]

Haha... Cole has given us some decent outings; but you know like I do, he is not one of our better relievers. His era is 5.34 and bb9 is 5.94

Wait, you go to stats to prove your point on Cole but not for Luke. Selective stat usage . Cole, is an easy read, when you bring Him in and the first few hitters light Him up, take Him out. but if He come in and gets on a role, He can be tough. We have no reliver that is that much better than Cole. I like Neff because he throws strikes.

Luke is not a good hitter. His stats bear that our too. He is a glove first player with some pop, but a very poor hit tool. He isn't a liability if used correctly though... I think Henderson bats him way too high in the lineup. Let em hit 7th and swing for the fences

[The Federalist Engineer]

It's against message board rules but you look to be correct and I am wrong. MSU website is not giving me numbers, so I just surrender

But I think Cole can be used with a short leash and starting with clean start innings.

I try to be not be; but like everyone, I like some players more than others and see what I want to see at times.
