[Leroy Jenkins]

Not the Gordon enter-the-game-walk I hope.

[preachermatt83]

Gary makes some of the strangest decisions I?ve ever seen. I mean they have zero rhyme or reason.

[maroonmania]

They bailed us out there, would have been ball 4.

[BrunswickDawg]

Belmont has been solid on D tonight

[Leroy Jenkins]

Whew.

[msstate7]

Alexander came to play

[HoopsDawg]

Not the Gordon enter-the-game-walk I hope.

thank you for swinging at ball 4!!

[bostondawg]

Gary Henderson's decisions infuriate me.

[confucius say]

Get ahead!!!!

[Bdawg]

COle not looking good right now

[maroonmania]

Henderson loves him some Cole Gordon. Even when Gordon was getting hit to death he loved him.

[ChillOutDog]

If they score here I want Henderson on the plane to Starkville tonight.

[msbulldog]

LA again, outstanding d tonight!

[preachermatt83]

If Gary Henderson is hired as our next HC I will not attend another msu baseball game as long as he?s there.

[CadaverDawg]

This pulling France decision is going to lose us the game right here

[HoopsDawg]

Gary makes some of the strangest decisions I?ve ever seen. I mean they have zero rhyme or reason.

That was as good as France has looked since Arkansas. Throwing 94, hitting spots, sharp break on his slider. And Gary pulls him for a guy with not as good stuff and not as good control. Just a fcked up decision.

[KOdawg1]

Bring in Neff

[msstate7]

Do you pitch up? Not sure he can hit it out at night

[MarketingBully]

Why are we burning our bullpen here?

[BulldogBear]

Is Henderson the new Meddler?

[ChillOutDog]

You save Gordon for the potential of long relief in extras. What a damn disgrace.

[preachermatt83]

He’s playing matchups in a game that could possibly go 15 innings. How dumb. What’s he gonna do If if goes really long into the night.

[bostondawg]

Random rules question: if a pitcher exists the game, may they reenter the game later as a pitcher if they at first place a position in the field? I think that's the rule in the MLB but I'm rusty.

[maroonmania]

This makes no sense. Could have left France in to do this. Now you've burned France and Gordon. Heck, this game could go 14 or 15 innings at this point.

[KOdawg1]

That was as good as France has looked since Arkansas. Throwing 94, hitting spots, sharp break on his slider. And Gary pulls him for a guy with not as good stuff and not as good control. Just a fcked up decision.

Yep, completely ignorant

[MarketingBully]

Let’s just burn all of our arms in a 0-0 game that could go to extras.

[RocketDawg]

Changing pitchers again now. Too bad they can't put France back in.

[preachermatt83]

You save Gordon for the potential of long relief in extras. What a damn disgrace.

It’s downright embarrassing

[confucius say]

All of this left on left BS is unnecessary. They weren't sniffing France tonight. He was locating a 94 mph cutter. 94!! And cutting!! Damn.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Bold strategy, Gary. Let's see if it pays off.

[CadaverDawg]

So in a tie game, we're burning two of our better arms and bringing in a LHP that gave up a walk off bomb to a lefty two games ago? Regardless of outcome, this should be all that is needed to shut the "hire Henderson" crowd up. Could France not pitch to those 2 guys???

[mparkerfd20]

I can't stomach the thought of having to put up with Gary Henderson decisions for the next few years.

[NCDawg]

Henderson loves him some Cole Gordon. Even when Gordon was getting hit to death he loved him.

I don't understand the logic of pulling France.

[TNDawg35]

At this rate Hatcher and Mangum may see the mound tonight...

[Bulldog1]

Add this to the running list of stupid decisions by Henderson.

[msbulldog]

Why are we burning our bullpen here?

There not throwing enough pitches to burn anything, France and Cole could go tomorrow.

[preachermatt83]

That was as good as France has looked since Arkansas. Throwing 94, hitting spots, sharp break on his slider. And Gary pulls him for a guy with not as good stuff and not as good control. Just a fcked up decision.

It’s over coaching at its finest. I’m sick of henderson.

[ChillOutDog]

I can't stomach the thought of having to put up with Gary Henderson decisions for the next few years.

Better not happen

[maroonmania]

So in a tie game, we're burning two of our better arms and bringing in a LHP that gave up a walk off bomb to a lefty two games ago? Regardless of outcome, this should be all that is needed to shut the "hire Henderson" crowd up. Could France not pitch to those 2 guys???

Well, not likely to see a walkoff to CF in this park.

[CadaverDawg]

Gary said "no, it ain't going 14-15 innings...I'm going to make sure of that"

[preachermatt83]

The stats the booth guys were using shows henderson has not done his homework

[bostondawg]

I can't stomach the thought of having to put up with Gary Henderson decisions for the next few years.

Yep. I could not put up with Henderson and my drinking habit for the next few years.

[ChillOutDog]

I don't understand the logic of pulling France.

Look at his resume at UK. Makes it easy to understand

[West Tn Dawg]

If Gary Henderson is hired as our next HC I will not attend another msu baseball game as long as he?s there.

Sorry Preach but I can't beleive you've been to a game this year. Every game, you been here bitching about every move Henderson makes.

[HoopsDawg]

guys we aren't burning pitchers. This is a 2 game series. you pitch whoever you have to pitch. Billingsley is available if this game goes deep. The problem is the decision to pull France.

[IMissJack]

If this game goes 4 or so extra innings, Henderson will have burned the bullpen before we get there.

[msstate7]

We still have self. Don't hate this move

[BulldogBear]

Good job Neff!

[confucius say]

guys we aren't burning pitchers. This is a 2 game series. you pitch whoever you have to pitch. Billingsley is available if this game goes deep. The problem is the decision to pull France.

I think they mean burning for tonight's game

[Dawgology]

The stats the booth guys were using shows henderson has not done his homework

Yeah noticed that. But looks like Hendo was right

[CadaverDawg]

Wish we could go to Gordon or France here

[bostondawg]

God damn Neff just killed that guy through entirely mental pitching.

[maroonmania]

guys we aren't burning pitchers. This is a 2 game series. you pitch whoever you have to pitch. Billingsley is available if this game goes deep. The problem is the decision to pull France.

Come on, there was really no reason to pull France to have another righty in Gordon pitch to 2 hitters. France could have done the same leading up to Neff and still had Gordon available.

[ChillOutDog]

Wish we could go to Gordon or France here

Exactly

[HoopsDawg]

If the Washington batter doesn't swing at ball 4 from Gordon, we are down right now.

[bostondawg]

I think they mean burning for tonight's game

correct. France and Gordon will be available for game 2.

[Bdawg]

And they hit it where we aren't! Man

[CadaverDawg]

Guys, Gary was playing for the Neff matchup with Andre the Giant. Now he's like...wtf do I do now?

[HoopsDawg]

I think they mean burning for tonight's game

yeah, that's a moot point. I don't care that Gordon is "burned" and I don't care if we "burn" Neff.

[VandelayIndustries]

But he did swing

[ChillOutDog]

Win it now please God

[preachermatt83]

We gotta win it right here.

[CadaverDawg]

If the Washington batter doesn't swing at ball 4 from Gordon, we are down right now.

100%

[Cooterpoot]

Mac for the win?

[BulldogBear]

All right. Well. This is it. I don't want to be up to 100am.

Let's get it done.

[Skydawg1]

Guys, Gary was playing for the Neff matchup with Andre the Giant. Now he's like...wtf do I do now?Now we walk it off!

[Dawgcap]

Henderson’s shitty coaching has us scoreless through 9. What about the offense??

[Quaoarsking]

MacNamee walkoff coming up. He's going to absolutely crush one that barely goes over the fence.

[MarketingBully]

100%

But like someone else said, he did swing.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We just need three hit. Come on guys. Walk this off.

[ChillOutDog]

But he did swing

Process > Result in baseball. Pinch hitting Pilkington for Mangum would be wrong even if Pilk got a hit.

[msstate7]

Neff was a good move

[HoopsDawg]

Come on, there was really no reason to pull France to have another righty in Gordon pitch to 2 hitters. France could have done the same leading up to Neff and still had Gordon available.

I agree 100%. See both my posts on the subject. That move is indefensible.

[msstate7]

MacNamee walkoff coming up. He's going to absolutely crush one that barely goes over the fence.

Not sure he could hit a tennis ball out with an a guerilla ball bat

[confucius say]

yeah, that's a moot point. I don't care that Gordon is "burned" and I don't care if we "burn" Neff.

You'll care if this goes 13 innings and we need those arms

[Quaoarsking]

Getting batters to swing at pitches that would've been balls is what good pitchers do...

[BrunswickDawg]

Stovall starting it off right

[Bulldog1]

Mac is about to walk this off.

[CadaverDawg]

Bunt?

[maroonmania]

We just need three hit. Come on guys. Walk this off.

Well, there is one. Do we sac bunt Mac?

[HoopsDawg]

Neff was a good move

no brainer, but yes a good move none the less.

[ChillOutDog]

Gotta let Mac swing. If he gets on bunt.

[maroonmania]

Bunt?

I would because a DP would be a killer and you ain't hitting the long ball in this park.

[BulldogBear]

Well, there is one. Do we sac bunt Mac?

No. Shifting is the new bunting.****

[confucius say]

Oppo approach. Good job Stovall. Keep it moving Mac.

[bostondawg]

... is that not a balk? Still don't know the rules.

[maroonmania]

Gotta let Mac swing. If he gets on bunt.

You certainly don't have to. The main reason not to have him bunt is that the next 2 hitters haven't done much tonight.

[HoopsDawg]

You'll care if this goes 13 innings and we need those arms

We have Self and Billingsley. Frankly, I'm glad Gordon is burned. And Neff is a 1 or 2 inning guy. Those decisions by Henderson was fine. It was the decision to pull France that was so bad.

[ChillOutDog]

Now bunt!!

[Bulldog1]

Bunt Foscue here.

[confucius say]

Pinch hit your best bunter

[CadaverDawg]

Now you bunt, but you have LA up after so...

[ChillOutDog]

Now you bunt, but you have LA up after so...

He’s hot as a wildfire

[preachermatt83]

Bunt

[KOdawg1]

We've got to win it here

[Bully13]

This is where coaching is critical. At this point of the game, you gotta know about who you have up to bat and use your brains, math and gut.

[confucius say]

We have Self and Billingsley. Frankly, I'm glad Gordon is burned. And Neff is a 1 or 2 inning guy. Those decisions by Henderson was fine. It was the decision to pull France that was so bad.

Exactly on France. I have no prob with the rest once the France mistake was made. Sorry, misunderstood you

[Cooterpoot]

Hit for Skelton when ihes up.

[IMissJack]

get the bunt down here.

[BrunswickDawg]

Terrible.

[Bulldog1]

Pathetic bunt.

[ChillOutDog]

****ing idiot

[preachermatt83]

Absolutely embarrassing

[MarketingBully]

Freshman moment too big.

[maroonmania]

Our freshman can't do anything right tonight. GEEZ!

[CadaverDawg]

Shit. It's over guys. Not our night

[Cooterpoot]

Damn awful

[msstate7]

Wow foscue

[HoopsDawg]

Disaster. Did we not have someone on the bench who is a good bunter?

[Bully13]

Nice bunt.

[BulldogBear]

Bwahahahahahah

#buntfail

You gotta be sh*ting me

[ChillOutDog]

Shitty ****ing execution. Get the **** out Foscue.

[Bdawg]

What a horrible effort

[maroonmania]

Freshman moment too big.

Whole game is too big.

[IMissJack]

Terrible

[Bully13]

Shit. It's over guys. Not our night

17 that.

[preachermatt83]

I’d bench a kid for not being able to get a bunt down

[ChillOutDog]

Swing the ******* bat

[BulldogBear]

Haha hahaha

Delete

[Dawgcap]

Henderson sucks!!!!

[BrunswickDawg]

FOAMBAT!,!!!

[Bulldog1]

WALKOFFFFFF!!! ALEXANDER!!!!

[RocketDawg]

[ChillOutDog]

Oh my god!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

YESSSSS

[KOdawg1]

FOAMBAT

[sandwolf]

[BeardoMSU]

Luuuuuuuuke!!!!!!

[Really Clark?]

Luke hitting big tonight

[preachermatt83]

metal bat!!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Henderson sucks!!!!

He does

[msstate7]

Foam bat my ass

[RocketDawg]

FOAMBAT!,!!!

Player of the game.

[Bdawg]

Ha ha ha hell yeah. LA heating up lately guys!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Luke had an amazing game. Well done young man.

[Leroy Jenkins]

They gave us one and I'll take it.

[Cooterpoot]

Same ole same ole. Ho hum.

[IMissJack]

LA walkoff!!!

[BeardoMSU]

metal bat!!!!!!!

I like it, lol.

[Commercecomet24]

LUKE!!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha

[bostondawg]

HAIL STATE

[HoopsDawg]

Luke freakin Alexander. MVP of this game.

[Skydawg1]

FOAMAHA!!

[msbulldog]

LA player of the game!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bulldog1]

Henderson sucks!!!!

Yes he does. But we still won! Hailstate!

[MarketingBully]

Luke walks it off!!!! Love this team!!!

[Dawgology]

Luke Alexander had a good game. Fielded well and hit well.

[CadaverDawg]

This team, man

[BulldogBear]

Walk off. Walks off. Walk it off.

Is it just me or are these terms getting a little over used? Of course it's not as bad as when the ESPN boys got so bad overusing woodshed that they started using it as a verb.

"Ohio State woodsheded Bowling Green today."

[bostondawg]

Now that this game didn't go into extras, Henderson is a pitching wizard who saw the LA walkoff coming.

[I seen it dawg]

Foambat!!!!!!!! What a great job going the other way. Outstanding job at the plate tonite. Clutch.

[Liverpooldawg]

His name is Luke Alexander. He is from Belmont, Mississippi. It's a great town and he comes from a great family. Gary Henderson knows more about baseball than everybody who ever posts in this board, combined. By they way, Henderson won another national coach of the year award today.

[msstate7]

Now that this game didn't go into extras, Henderson is a pitching wizard who saw the LA walkoff coming.

We still had self left. I thought Neff was a good move

[maroonmania]

Great job Luke! Glad we didn't have an extended game where Hendoo's pitching decision might become an issue.

[WSOPdawg]

FOAMAHA!!

Hahahaha, that's classic!!! Rep given. :)

[preachermatt83]

Washington pulling their starter was so dumb.

[maroonmania]

We still had self left. I thought Neff was a good move

Neff was a good move, pulling France after 1 inning for Gordon to pitch to 2 batters was the questionable move. BUT, it was only going to be a factor if the game went long which thankfully it didn't.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

LA player of the game!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job by LA. And a great job by Ethan Small.

[HoopsDawg]

Great job by Foscue on the bunt b/c they would have walked Luke.

[MarketingBully]

Hopefully this relaxes our freshmen and they take better approaches against UNC on Monday.

[Bdawg]

Glad Luke took care of business. And great job by Small. We have all hands on deck for Monday except our starter because of Luke.

[msstate7]

Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

Bc a Texas leaguer would've won it

[Leroy Jenkins]

If we can get production from the bottom of the order that would be YUGE. Keep it up, Belmont.

[KOdawg1]

Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

To throw us out at home in case of a single

[The Federalist Engineer]

On to Game-2. This was a crisp game. Small was huge, Ace stuff and makeup. LA was MVP. Stovall is on-point and hot.

[HoopsDawg]

Hopefully this relaxes our freshmen and they take better approaches against UNC on Monday.

Yes, we have KP plus our entire bullpen for the all important game Monday night. If they freshman can relax and play like they have played the 2nd half of the year, we will have a good shot.

[Really Clark?]

Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

The thinking is a regular grounder while playing deep had a better percentage of us trying to score than hitting deep into the wind. Thought they were too shallow though. 10-15 feet further back and he probably catches that and we just move up one.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Why the hell were they playing so shallow?

They heard he had a Foam Bat. Now they know better

[BeardoMSU]

Washington pulling their starter was so dumb.

I knew we'd get them when that happened.

[HoopsDawg]

Great job by Henderson not bunting MacNamee. That wasn't an easy decision for him I'm sure. Even though I was screaming not to bunt there.

[Liverpooldawg]

Washington pulling their starter was so dumb.

I know nothing about them or that guy's limits but from a position of admitted sheer ignorance I agree with you there.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Great job by Henderson not bunting MacNamee. That wasn't an easy decision for him I'm sure. Even though I was screaming not to bunt there.

That's Gautreau's call, he handles the hitters

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

To throw us out at home in case of a single

I get the strategy, but there?s such a thing as playing too shallow as well. He drove one deep to left his last bat.

[preachermatt83]

GoTro has got our hitters refusing to quit.

[Dawgcap]

To the guys that really were shitting on Henderson I hope you enjoyed that. Funny that Hendo and LA advanced us. That’s ok though cause you can hope to be right in the winners bracket of the CWS

[msstate7]

Great job by Henderson not bunting MacNamee. That wasn't an easy decision for him I'm sure. Even though I was screaming not to bunt there.

I'm in the minority, but I think Henderson called a hell of a game. I was a little nervous about Cole, but cole has clearly been better than france in the postseason. Loved going Neff vs wainhouse

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Washington pulling their starter was so dumb.

He was dealing, and his pitch count was so low. I couldn't believe they pulled him. He only threw 72 pitches (55 strikes).

[msstate7]

GoTro has got our hitters refusing to quit.
1-0 win and you give hitting coach credit lol. It's ok to give Henderson credit

[The Federalist Engineer]

Kendall Rodgers saying that MSU has some really big time people interested in the job. Some dude with two recent coach of the year awards and that is currently in Omaha.

Gene is reporting that Cohen is in Omaha too. This time he is not just making shit up, he says

[Goldendawg]

His name is Luke Alexander. He is from Belmont, Mississippi. It's a great town and he comes from a great family. Gary Henderson knows more about baseball than everybody who ever posts in this board, combined. By they way, Henderson won another national coach of the year award today.

Hail Yeah! Hail Luke Alexander who continues to lead this team in RBI's. Hail this team! Hail State and GTHOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

[msbulldog]

Now that this game didn't go into extras, Henderson is a pitching wizard who saw the LA walkoff coming.

No you don't pull France at that point.

[tcdog70]

Great job Luke! Glad we didn't have an extended game where Hendoo's pitching decision might become an issue.

Dude we made 3 pitching changes and they were all spot on. He just won his 2nd Coach of the year award--

[Bully13]

Jake's got T.V. Sports credentials if the MLB thing doesn't work or after he retires from MLB. Dude is knowledgeable, good looking & smooth as owl shit in front of the camera.

[MarketingBully]

Also want to say. This is it. This is the game where our pitching staff stepped up and won a 1 run game. Not just Small but France, Gordon, and Neff pitched a collective shutout. That’s what we needed. That’s the missing ingredient to this team winning a national championship. If we win Monday, I think we win the whole thing.

[maroonmania]

They heard he had a Foam Bat. Now they know better

Yep, probably listened to a Coach34 podcast before the game.

[Dawgcap]

I'm in the minority, but I think Henderson called a hell of a game. I was a little nervous about Cole, but cole has clearly been better than france in the postseason. Loved going Neff vs wainhouse

Agreed. Henderson sucks so bad that we won a 9 inning shutout. Is he great? No but damn the hate is embarrassing especially when our offense scored once. See I don’t get the hate to say you are right. Maybe instead of bitching enjoy the ride. And yes I get some being negative hoping for a positive but there are a few that want to look for blame instead of supporting the team.
Funny thing is that the negative crew will tell you how happy they are till they can shit on a coach or player next game

[The Federalist Engineer]

No you don't pull France at that point.

This is correct, we got bailed out by the other coach pulling DeMers when he still had 3 innings in the tank.

But, we still executed. Neff could have gone 2 more innings as he is a former starter

[VandelayIndustries]

1-0 win and you give hitting coach credit lol. It's ok to give Henderson credit


We won, only Gautreau gets credit haha

[Lord McBuckethead]

Amazing thing about the game was Luke's defense. He had part of something like 8 outs and that translated into his confidence at the plate. You could tell at his first at bat of the game. He was looking to make solid contact and not do too much with it. A few of the others were looking at huge swings.

[KOdawg1]

I'm in the minority, but I think Henderson called a hell of a game. I was a little nervous about Cole, but cole has clearly been better than france in the postseason. Loved going Neff vs wainhouse

I'll come back and admit, Henderson's decisions ended up being good ones. It's just head scratching to pull France after he shut them down like he did, but Gordon and Neff kept them from scoring, so credit must be given for that I guess.

Washington's staff needs to be mentally evaluated for taking out their starter. The dude was rolling with a low pitch count and would've kept shutting us down I believe. Another gutsy performance by our guys. Never count them out

[shoeless joe]

I'm in the minority, but I think Henderson called a hell of a game. I was a little nervous about Cole, but cole has clearly been better than france in the postseason. Loved going Neff vs wainhouse

Agree completely. He knew we had an off day either way. And nobody plays for extras as the home team. If France had struggled in the ninth the idiots woulda been tellin that he shoulda pulled him

[thedawginme]

I?d bench a kid for not being able to get a bunt down

You're such a badass.

[HoopsDawg]

I'm in the minority, but I think Henderson called a hell of a game. I was a little nervous about Cole, but cole has clearly been better than france in the postseason. Loved going Neff vs wainhouse

France has been very good other than Henderson throwing him on 3 days rest after his first start of the year in a game where he threw 80+ pitches. It was the wrong move but Washington helped us out on the 3-2 pitch and we got the win.

[shoeless joe]

Amazing thing about the game was Luke's defense. He had part of something like 8 outs and that translated into his confidence at the plate. You could tell at his first at bat of the game. He was looking to make solid contact and not do too much with it. A few of the others were looking at huge swings.

He's been hittin really good for three weekends now

[Bulldog1]

The decisions worked out tonight. I didn't agree with pulling France, but we still won- credit where it's due. Good job!

[MarketingBully]

Luke was a badass today. Glad he is on our team!

[Bully13]

As the saying goes, most everybody's gonna win 60 and lose 60. It's how you do in the other 40 is what winning is all about. Battling , winning and never losing confidence in 1 run and extra inning games is what champions are all about. Win , lose or draw in this series, these guys should get the Ultimate Warrior Award for the all time mentally toughest team in MSU baseball history. My opinion when all things considered.

[Ari Gold]

It’s Bizarro Henderson but it’s still ****ing working.
Belmont clutch tonight .
Amazing... This team just keeps getting it done.

Next!!!

[maroonmania]

I'll come back and admit, Henderson's decisions ended up being good ones. It's just head scratching to pull France after he shut them down like he did, but Gordon and Neff kept them from scoring, so credit must be given for that I guess.

Washington's staff needs to be mentally evaluated for taking out their starter. The dude was rolling with a low pitch count and would've kept shutting us down I believe. Another gutsy performance by our guys. Never count them out

The ONLY questionable decision was to pull France after 1 inning and go through 3 bullpen pitchers in 2 innings. And that was only going to be an issue if we went deep into extra innings. Game ended in 9 so the point is moot. Could have been a factor if our bullpen had gotten extended though so that is why I didn't like it at the time.

[I seen it dawg]

Agreed. Henderson sucks so bad that we won a 9 inning shutout. Is he great? No but damn the hate is embarrassing especially when our offense scored once. See I don’t get the hate to say you are right. Maybe instead of bitching enjoy the ride. And yes I get some being negative hoping for a positive but there are a few that want to look for blame instead of supporting the team.
Funny thing is that the negative crew will tell you how happy they are till they can shit on a coach or player next game

And yet you come on and chest pound at the people who were being negative...with negativity. Enjoy the win like everybody else.

[Dawgcap]

I’d be embarrassed to shit on the team the way some of you had! And by team I mean players and coaches. We won shut up you great baseball minds! Lord enjoy a win and quit telling how you are better than what you are seeing. It’s embarrasing. The funny thing is you may be right but I hope you look forward to that cause it proves you could give a rats ass if we win

[Really Clark?]

Ok now Washington pulling their pitcher was probably a much better decision than some of y’all are giving credit. 3 of our last 4 hitters to face him squared tha ball up and got the ball in the air. His ball was losing sink and we had 2 and 3 hitters up. Got both to ground out after the change.

[Dawgcap]

And yet you come on and chest pound at the people who were being negative...with negativity. Enjoy the win like everybody else.

Toward people who want to shit on members of a staff and players! Yep I do but my negativity is toward the few wanting us to fail to say they are right!

[Turfdawg67]

1-0 win and you give hitting coach credit lol. It's ok to give Henderson credit

Exactly! SMH

[I seen it dawg]

Toward people who want to shit on members of a staff and players! Yep I do but my negativity is toward the few wanting us to fail to say they are right!

Take some Advil and go to bed

[Liverpooldawg]

GoTro has got our hitters refusing to quit.
Dude, it was a 1-0 win. We just won a pitcher's duel. If you can't give credit to the guy calling the shots for the pitching staff then you opinion on baseball is worthless and absolutely HAS to be ignored from here on.

[MarketingBully]

Gary Henderson needs one more win to tie McDonnell’s CWS win total. I find that hilarious.

[Dawg61]

FOAMBAT!!!!! I was shitting bricks and cussing like a storm when Henderson took France out for Gordon!! Lol RALLY BANANA!!

[SmokeyDawg]

I thought LA was going to have a walk off in Nashville but glad he waited until now. We can give all the credit we want to gotro but last year we would've given all the credit to Henderson for making that pitching staff work.

Don't back a bulldog into a corner!

[MarketingBully]

I’d be embarrassed to shit on the team the way some of you had! And by team I mean players and coaches. We won shut up you great baseball minds! Lord enjoy a win and quit telling how you are better than what you are seeing. It’s embarrasing. The funny thing is you may be right but I hope you look forward to that cause it proves you could give a rats ass if we win

Our freshmen didn’t have it tonight and our upper classmen picked them up. That’s just what this team does. Tonight our pitching staff pitched beautifully and did something they haven’t done in a while. Win a one run game. Hopefully with this win our guys get settled and our bats come alive.

[MarketingBully]

Four more wins from a national championship fellas. Think about it.

[SmokeyDawg]

Our freshmen didn?t have it tonight and our upper classmen picked them up. That?s just what this team does. Tonight our pitching staff pitched beautifully and did something they haven?t done in a while. Win a one run game. Hopefully with this win our guys get settled and our bats come alive.

I agree, our freshman haven't faced this expectation and for our upperclassmen to pull through will be contagious to those guys.

[msbulldog]

Ok now Washington pulling their pitcher was probably a much better decision than some of y’all are giving credit. 3 of our last 4 hitters to face him squared tha ball up and got the ball in the air. His ball was losing sink and we had 2 and 3 hitters up. Got both to ground out after the change.

Your right Clark and his coach has been watching him a long time and recognized that when his ball started to get up, it was fixing to get clobbered at 88 mph.

Take some Advil and go to bed

You should do the same.

[I seen it dawg]

Team win. It's what these guys have become good at.

[confucius say]

Great job by Henderson not bunting MacNamee. That wasn't an easy decision for him I'm sure. Even though I was screaming not to bunt there.

It was a no brainer and it had nothing to do with Hindu. All JG. Said so postgame to Jim

[I seen it dawg]

You should do the same.

Oh did you decide to actually watch a game tonite?

Fine for us. Thinking about he next one works better for the team.

We're gonna need a bigger ice chest.**

Absolutely a team win. Great job from Henderson on down

[msbulldog]

Dude, it was a 1-0 win. We just won a pitcher's duel. If you can't give credit to the guy calling the shots for the pitching staff then you opinion on baseball is worthless and absolutely HAS to be ignored from here on.

Damn LP, how many times have you stated "you are ignorant about baseball" and don't care about it?

[Dawgcap]

Take some Advil and go to bed

Why? Cause we have a few that are baseball gurus? I can’t voice my opinion like the few who seriously want to shit on a staff and players? If you don’t wear that shoe I’m not talking to you.
My point is we have several who have shit on Henderson and LA all year. Guess what we won 1-0 with a walkoff by LA. Now our team was saved this year by those few who say it was by the grace of god and our hitting coach. We won 1-0.
I love what Gautreau has done but I also respect what Henderson has done but I don’t shit on someone every chance I get. I took my Advil so maybe I will calm down but I bet the crap talk will start again Monday.
Lastly I respect the negative posts that are for reverse luck but there are a few that believe they have never been wrong and have all the answers. They won’t be happy until they are right!

[Liverpooldawg]

Yep!!! Glad my friend's son won it for us!!!!!! HAIL STATE!!!

[gravedigger]

If Gary Henderson is hired as our next HC I will not attend another msu baseball game as long as he?s there.

Good. Promise to quit posting too

[AlmostPositive]

I'm thinking we're going to win State's first national championship next week.... would bet even money on it.

[HoopsDawg]

Well crap. I really wanted to give Hendu some credit.

[Goldendawg]

Guys, check out SEC Now on SEC Network. Great interviews and commentary. All things MSU. Will be on throughout the night.

[Liverpooldawg]

Damn LP, how many times have you stated "you are ignorant about baseball" and don't care about it?

Plenty. The thing about me is I will admit my ignorance. :D Judging by this thread there are a bunch of folks here that need to do the same! In my ignorance what I saw was we won a pitching duel, called by the most reviled coach on the staff, with a hit by the most reviled hitter in the team. Maybe I got it wrong on my ignorance.

When I say I don't care....I mean I don't lose sleep when we lose a baseball game. I have been known to do that over football games. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy it when we win a big game in baseball. I certainly enjoy it when Luke walks it off. I'd enjoy that if it was horseshoes.

[oompa]

Evidently, first scoreless game through 8 innings in the CWS since 1985?

[MarketingBully]

Fine for us. Thinking about he next one works better for the team.

The team has been counting down how many games we need to win a championship since we started the postseason in Tallahassee which is why their theme has been ?We?re not done yet.? They sincerely believe they are going to win the whole thing and play for themselves and pick themselves up when other players don?t do so well. I think we will be okay with that thinking. If it?s not broken don?t fix it.

[Cooterpoot]

I give all credit to the nanners.

[Liverpooldawg]

Good. Promise to quit posting too

Absolutely. If he never attends another game I'm sure we will never have another sell out in any sport.****

[MarketingBully]

I wouldn’t bet against this team. They have all the intangibles and have just enough talent to carry things through in this very weird game of baseball where it’s not always the fastest or most talented team that wins it but the team that’s the hottest and believes in themselves the most.

Just picking LP, your points were spot on, your love for MSU is not questioned. +1

[Liverpooldawg]

Never sell that sort of thing short in baseball, or fishing. I never played much baseball, but I was serious competitive fisherman at one time in my younger days. My superstition was Caps. NEVER wear a cap on the water again if you wiff the first time you wear it, ��.

Henderson sucks**

[Todd4State]

Gary Henderson needs one more win to tie McDonnell?s CWS win total. I find that hilarious.

And Bianco.

[Todd4State]

Great win for us tonight!

Staying in the winners bracket is what it is all about at this point.

Even better this win means we play the night game so I won't miss it while I'm working my day job.

[Todd4State]

Damn LP, how many times have you stated "you are ignorant about baseball" and don't care about it?

How many baseball threads are there on here? That number times two.

[Cloak]

Nice, clean win tonight. Just keep winning.

Take 3 shots of Bourbon straight- The LA bashing I agree has been nasty and mean spirited, I like the young man. I bet he is a locker room leader. But- Coach bashing is part of game threads. We used to bash Cohen just as bad if not worse. I wanted him fired in 2015.

Cohen fed the anti Henderson feeling with his comments on already having a hall of fame coach locked up. That's like telling a dude you setting him up with Kate Hudson and then saying, she will be a "sweet girl" with a good personality. How would that go.

I know next to nothing about baseball. Sad that I still seem to know as much as you. ;). And I don't write books about it either!

You don’t know as much as Todd about baseball I can guarantee that.
