[The Federalist Engineer]

So lets give away 3 runs, load the bases, kill momentum......then go get Billingsley

This is the reason that Henderson does not have fans among real MSU baseball fans.

[ShotgunDawg]

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Hopefully James can keep it at 5 runs.

[msstate7]

I think you guys are gonna be sorely disappointed when France does get a shot. He throws 90% 89-91 mph fastballs and these guys will hit that. Got to have effective offspeed to beat em

[Bulldog1]

Fify

I would've started France.

[Goldendawg]

Now I remember why I don't want Henderson for Head Coach. This was and is a pitiful example of how to not handle a pitcher in a big game. Do we come out playing for tomorrow?

[KOdawg1]

Gary pulling a Dan Mullen and not coaching to win.

You play to win the game

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

And all of the announcers agree that Gary is 17ing up the defense with positioning.

If only Henderson was a normal coach and positioned his fielders dead in the middle of the 3 hole and 5 hole***

[MarketingBully]

The biggest problem with JB is we don’t have great positioning with him so ground balls and fly balls that should be routine squirt through the infield or go for doubles. Our defensive positioning is horrid.

[ShotgunDawg]

Maybe but France would've had a better shot because his fast ball has late acceleration on it that can create swing & miss.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

On the bright side we made the cws and Henderson won't be the coach. That's something.

[ShotgunDawg]

The biggest problem with JB is we don’t have great positioning with him so ground balls and fly balls that should be routine squirt through the infield or go for doubles. Our defensive positioning is horrid.

No. The biggest problem with JB is that he was scared & didn't compete today. He was clearly guiding the baseball.

[msstate7]

Now I remember why I don't want Henderson for Head Coach. This was and is a pitiful example of how to not handle a pitcher in a big game. Do we come out playing for tomorrow?

Coaching this game as the undefeated team is different than the losing team. You can't burn your best relievers once you get down early.

[The Federalist Engineer]

If not for the base running error, we would be down 8-1 right now, JB is not usable against quality opposition.

[Pit Bull]

Beavers even printed up anti-banana teeshirts.....they are a confident bunch I must say.

[Lord McBuckethead]

If not for the base running error, we would be down 8-1 right now, JB is not usable against quality opposition.

Yep. I am afraid Keenean is going to allow a couple here.

[ShotgunDawg]

Is every MSU pitcher going to pitch scared today?

OM is charmin U, not us

[Lord McBuckethead]

Let's **** ing go. I just changed shirts.

[IMissJack]

Why can't we throw strikes and get ahead in a single count? It's unreal... James comes in and is pounding earth worms a foot in front of the plate.

[VandelayIndustries]

This game is over

[MarketingBully]

Ugh.

[msstate7]

We have to force them to use Abel today, and can't burn Cole, France, or self today.

[West Tn Dawg]

It's amazing we are in a Coaching search when we have so many of the best coaches out there right here on ED! Don't have half the info needed to coach, yet know all the problems!

[ShotgunDawg]

Unreal. The lack of nuts on this pitching staff is an embarrasment

[Lord McBuckethead]

Are we so scared of this fn team we will not throw strikes.

[Pit Bull]

Well....there's always tomorrow.....bout our only hope.

[ChillOutDog]

God damn nobody wants to nut up and compete.

Burn James, Liebeck etc and concede this one. All hands on deck tomorrow

[KOdawg1]

Amazing that we have pitchers that are playing D1 baseball that can't throw a damn strike

[Cooterpoot]

This is why you don't let JB load up the bases before you pull him. Gary mailed it in today.

[ShotgunDawg]

It's amazing we are in a Coaching search when we have so many of the best coaches out there right here on ED! Don't have half the info needed to coach, yet know all the problems!

Shut the 17 up

Post like yours are embarrassing

[Goldendawg]

This could get worse than the 20-10 loss to OSU. Henderson coaching like Dan against bama.

[CadaverDawg]

So who are we pitching in game 2 tomorrow? By the way, this is another example of why Gary can't be the guy...he's the pitching coach and didn't see what every fan saw, which is that JB is an AWFUL matchup with OSU. He single handedly forced game 2 with OSU with that boneheaded decision

[Goldendawg]

Can we implement a 10 run rule and reset for tomorrow?

[IMissJack]

Unbelievably bad today. You can tell Cohen is just wanting to walk to the mound.

Get ready for another 20 run game like OK.

[Cooterpoot]

It's over boys. Gary 17'd us today. They saved their entire pen.

[KOdawg1]

It's over

[HoopsDawg]

This game is on Gary 100%. Now it's up to our hitters to compete and make them use their pen.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

James has got that spot 6 inches off the plate nailed down. It's a shame it's not a strike.

[Cloak]

If Small is hurt, we are 17'd tomorrow

[Bulldog1]

1 word. Embarrassing.

[Liverpooldawg]

Is every MSU pitcher going to pitch scared today?

OM is charmin U, not us

Dude, there are three 1st rounders in that line up. Did it occur to you that they might be very good?

[msstate7]

Read the JB starting thread. This whole board minus a few agrees with JB. I did not

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Jesus this might be more pathetic than JBs outing

[HoopsDawg]

It's amazing we are in a Coaching search when we have so many of the best coaches out there right here on ED! Don't have half the info needed to coach, yet know all the problems!

I'll tell you this, I said all week on this board and 6pack that France should start this game over JB.

[CadaverDawg]

Gary had all week to prepare for this. Even had a chance to scout them a full game. And what did he do? Pitched JB and KJ. Just terrible coaching right there

Our stud (should be starting today) will probably not be available tomorrow after the LD

[ChillOutDog]

Well I get an early start on the weekend yard work. See y’all tomorrow.

[Lord McBuckethead]

5 straight balls. No where close. Of the 45 pitches only 12 for strikes.

[confucius say]

Holy hell!! Challenge the Damn zone!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Dude, there are three 1st rounders in that line up. Did it occur to you that they might be very good?

They are good, but we are walking them & guiding the baseball.

These guys are playing scared.

[Bulldog1]

Read the JB starting thread. This whole board minus a few agrees with JB. I did not

I agreed with not pitching Small. I said on sps, here, and SECrant we should pitch France.

[Pit Bull]

No point wasting pitching. Go ahead and sacrifice James the rest of the game.

[starkvegasdawg]

Time to go see Jurassic World in 3D.

[HoopsDawg]

Gary had all week to prepare for this. Even had a chance to scout them a full game. And what did he do? Pitched JB and KJ. Just terrible coaching right there

He announced JB as the starter before we even knew our opponent.

[Bulldog1]

I'll tell you this, I said all week on this board and 6pack that France should start this game over JB.

Yes you did.

The announcers are trying to figure out what to talk about for the next 7 innings.

[Liverpooldawg]

Absolutely pathetic

That's just pathetic, on your part. No call for that kind of stuff. This kind of thing happens. It's already happened to us once in the tourney.

[LC Dawg]

Yeah, I just went back and looked out of curiosity. I lot more "knew it" in this game thread than that thread. Ha!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Absolutely pathetic

This is uncalled for. Just wrong.

[CadaverDawg]

Sissy effort we brought today. This team will beat our ass and not think twice about doing it again tomorrow if we show up with another passive effort like this

[ShotgunDawg]

That's just pathetic, on your part. No call for that kind of stuff. This kind of thing happens. It's already happened to us once in the tourney.

Sorry, I tell like it is. Raise tougher kids

[Turfdawg67]

Maybe but France would've had a better shot because his fast ball has late acceleration on it that can create swing & miss.

No, it's you that's an embarrassment.

Yep this is a little much.

[Randolph Dupree]

If you honestly think we are hiring Henderson, listen to the radio broadcast. I think Cohen is just about ready to suit up and manage the game. He's not being critical perse but there is noticble frustration.

[Liverpooldawg]

Sorry, I tell like it is. Raise tougher kids

Do you have kids?

[Cooterpoot]

Our pitchers have the personality of the pitching coach.

[msstate7]

"THIS IS THE CORRECT MOVE." To not pitch Small.

Whatever, dude... thread title says JB starting... there was no mention of small. I don't care I but own it when I am wrong.

[confucius say]

It's likely too late now.

You have to challenge the damn zone. Yes, they can hit and will score. But you can't give free passes. And you can't allow them to hit in 2-0, 2-1, 3-1 counts all day. Compete damn it!

[KOdawg1]

If Small is out tomorrow, we are done. Even with him it'll be difficult

[Pit Bull]

That was funny....LOL!!!!......OSU scores 5 runs, our pitcher cant find the plate, our outfielders let a routine flyout drop between them, and the announcer said "you get the feeling MSU still dodged a bullet"......now that is optimism!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Alright, lets chip away

[msstate7]

Atta boy, Jake... move the line, rowdey

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Raise tougher kids so they don't melt under pressure

Do you have kids?

[Bulldog1]

Whatever, dude... thread title says JB starting... there was no mention of small. I don't care I but own it when I am wrong.

Went back and looked at the other thread- I did say start JB/France; so I admit I was wrong.

[Liverpooldawg]

Perhaps, but no more than kids that don't compete

You are over the line with some of your comments. WAY Over it. There is no reason at all to say their parents should be embarrassed about the kids they raised, none. You comments say everything about YOU, and nothing about them.

[Goldendawg]

Ok guys chip away at their lead and shut them down.

At least they are competing and not some jackass living his life vicariously through a 20 year old. If JB "had it" today all you douches would have been praising him and the brass gonads of this team... which makes you a hypocrite and a fairweather fan.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need our freshmen to step up

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey swing all arms still.

[msstate7]

Went back and looked at the other thread- I did say start JB/France; so I admit I was wrong.

I'll forgive this one time. Wrong scoreboard:

Sure, you nailed it

[Cooterpoot]

Cool story.

You really need to step away for a minute. The pressure is getting to you.

[preachermatt83]

Best thing to do is go with James as long as you possibly can and use zero meaningful arms the rest of the game while against their pitcher, work their pitcher as deep in each count as possible and hopefully get them to use as many of their pitchers as possible

[msstate7]

If we could get this guy out this inning, would be huge

[Bulldog1]

I'll forgive this one time. Wrong scoreboard:

msstate7 - 9,987

[RocketDawg]

How do they know the ladybug came from Starkville? I'll bet they have ladybugs in Omaha too, and they all pretty much look alike. Of course, it would buzz with a midwestern accent ....

[Liverpooldawg]

Do you have kids?

[ShotgunDawg]

Jordan is missing pitches right down the middle

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Sure, you nailed it

Seriously, tell us about your kids. I want to hear about their accomplishments, grades, etc. You are melting from the pressure of being challenged in this thread. Sack up and tell us.

[Cooterpoot]

Rowdy is really struggling. He's not sure what to swing at. And he's pulling off the outside pitch something terrible.

[Liverpooldawg]

You really need to step away for a minute. The pressure is getting to you.

Yep, he has lost it. No fortitude under pressure.

[msstate7]

Get a big hit, rowdey.... for this thread. It is quickly going to crap lol

Ok......just put on my rally banana tee shirt.....IT IS OVER WITH FOR THE BEAVERS!!!!! LOL!!

Rowdy just can't get the barrel there. Late on everything

I don't know about parents. I think it's more the way we coach our pitchers. We don't attack hitters.

[Liverpooldawg]

That's what I thought...... not surprised. Cool it man.

[msstate7]

Rowdey getting whipped by a pitch to contact pitcher's fastball

[HoopsDawg]

Rowdey competed that AB, but he definitely looks a little tentative. Just not comfortable.

[mparkerfd20]

Hell of an AB by Rowdy. How many pitches now?

[Liverpooldawg]

Scared shitless to talk. What a candy ass.

Yep.

[CadaverDawg]

You just can't hit a damn popup in that situation. Rowdey and Tanner are killing us.

[Cooterpoot]

Rowdy is flying wide open and dragging the bat head.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdey competed that AB, but he definitely looks a little tentative. Just not comfortable.

He did compete. He's just got to many moving parts in his swing right now to time up a fastball

[MarketingBully]

Rowdey competed that AB, but he definitely looks a little tentative. Just not comfortable.

Of that 12 pitch at bat he swung at 6 balls. Sometimes you just have to watch balls go by that aren’t even close.

[Liverpooldawg]

I don't know about parents. I think it's more the way we coach our pitchers. We don't attack hitters.
Whether true or not......that is a legit post.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

12 pitch AB is good. But Rowdy can't get his hands out on anything. I don't think we have a pitcher on our roster that could have gotten that out. We would have walked him.

[ShotgunDawg]

Rowdy really need to simplify up there next time. Quiet everything up & just take the barrel to the ball.

He's trying to create power right now & it's out of control

[MarketingBully]

You just can't hit a damn popup in that situation. Rowdey and Tanner are killing us.

In this situation you have to learn a walk is something good.

[RocketDawg]

Maybe but France would've had a better shot because his fast ball has late acceleration on it that can create swing & miss.

That's physically impossible.

[msstate7]

Find the barrel

[ShotgunDawg]

12 pitch AB is good. But Rowdy can't get his hands out on anything. I don't think we have a pitcher on our roster that could have gotten that out. We would have walked him.

Allen can't get the barrel there either

[msstate7]

That's physically impossible.

So is a over the top fastball rising, but it seems that way

[somebodyshotmypaw]

He did compete. He's just got to many moving parts in his swing right now to time up a fastball

How come you won't answer a question? Pressure of a meassage board got you? Man up.

[MarketingBully]

Freshmen let us down in this CWS. Jordan and Allen.

[msstate7]

Cohen not impressed with the freshmen there

[KOdawg1]

Rowdey and Allen are complete garbage in the CWS

Pitiful

[Liverpooldawg]

That's physically impossible.

Yeah, that is sheer genius that is.

[CadaverDawg]

Now Allen pops up. This is a shit show all the way around. Our guys and coaches should be embarrassed

[HoopsDawg]

man oh man, brutal AB's by the freshmen. But that was a really big hit from Stovall.

[Dawg61]

Rowdey and Allen are killing us

[CadaverDawg]

Rowdey and Allen are complete garbage in the CWS

Pitiful

Yep. Allen hit a few bombs at FSU, and ever since he's just a Pull happy auto out

How come you won't answer a question? Pressure of a meassage board got you? Man up.

Give it up man. It's a game thread & the kid didn't compete today. Competing should be the least of our expectations

[MarketingBully]

Allen and Jordan are auto outs. Just are auto outs. They are killing us in the CWS.

[deadheaddawg]

Sorry, I tell like it is. Raise tougher kids

I will tell it like it is too. I have seen some of your post over the years. You are not very smart. You are also a sad person and most like have an empty depressing life if you let sports get to you as bad as you do. You typically say stupid stuff, which is fine I guess. You are a stupid person that's to be expected.. Today you seem unhinged though.

Go for a walk. Visit a real life friend (if you have any)

[Cooterpoot]

It's time to change the lineup. Rowdy and Allen are struggling big. Move Westburg up and maybe Mac or Stovall.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time for Mac to finally put the barrel on the ball right now.

[KOdawg1]

Rowdey and Allen are killing us

That, and the fact that our pitchers today have had the mental toughness of a koala bear

[RocketDawg]

So is a over the top fastball rising, but it seems that way

The ball can rise because of aerodynamic lift, but it can't accelerate after it leaves the pitcher's hand. The only acceleration at that point is due to gravity.

[ShotgunDawg]

You need to give it up. The pressure obviously got to you and you started embarrassing yourself. Don't double down.

[msstate7]

49 pitches thru 3 ip. Get him out of there by 5. Stay close enough to make them use their key guys

[Goldendawg]

Yeah, I had assumed that JB had gone through puberty. Awful assumption by me

Does getting at least one run mean those involved reached puberty? Looking for medical and /or baseball knowledge. Hail State, keep chipping away and shut them down!

[lefty96]

The ball can rise because of aerodynamic lift, but it can't accelerate after it leaves the pitcher's hand. The only acceleration at that point is due to gravity.

Several studies say it can't rise either - the lift from the best pitcher = about 0.5G which makes a slow fall.

Yes, the lack of makeup on the mound today was embarrassing today

[LC Dawg]

If we can start getting guys out our guys are not going to give up and we'll score more runs. If we can't start getting them out consistently today I don't think we will tomorrow either.

[MarketingBully]

Where the hell are they positioning our outfield?

[Doggie_Style]

The ball can rise because of aerodynamic lift, but it can't accelerate after it leaves the pitcher's hand. The only acceleration at that point is due to gravity.

When a hitter swings under the ball and misses, baseball announcers sometimes say the pitcher got him with a "rising fastball." But technically, this pitch cannot exist if thrown overhand--it's impossible for a pitch thrown downward to buck gravity and achieve upward lift.

[ShotgunDawg]

The ball can rise because of aerodynamic lift, but it can't accelerate after it leaves the pitcher's hand. The only acceleration at that point is due to gravity.

It has to do with spin rate. France has higher spin rate than some of our other guys which makes the ball fall less quickly, &, to the hitter, gives a late accelerating illusion

[ShotgunDawg]

Where the hell are they positioning our outfield?

Away from where the ball is hit

[deadheaddawg]

I just don't have patience for people that won't compete.

If you don't think this team cares or competes, well you are an idiot. Which has already been established. But to get so pissy about losing that you call out there parents.....well I guess that says a lot about your parents ability to not raise a complete asshole.

Hopefully your parents stopped at one

[ShotgunDawg]

2pitchers 2 guys scared to pitch

No. You started the fight. Then you ran and hid. I'm just fighting back and you don't like it. You want to sucker punch and run.

Alright, keep chipping away

Their pitcher isn't very good either but is attacking the zone for the most part & must have a little deception that is throwing us off a little

[Doggie_Style]

maybe you too should take it outside**

[KOdawg1]

Gee... a slump in baseball, the nerve of those freshmen

Don't roll out the freshmen excuse here in June. They aren't freshmen anymore.

Oh and other people have said the same. Get off my ass

[I seen it dawg]

Ball 1! All ****ing year we pitch behind ****ing hitters. It's a mentality that our pitching coach has to beat into them. It obviously ain't working. It's ****ing horseshit and can be done to high school pitchers so i know good and ****** well it can be done at this level.

Henderson is like that cat UNC hired after Dean Smith

Need to turn that leadoff 2B into a big inning.

[LC Dawg]

I think we're gonna win this game.

Ok. cool. Let's move on

[preachermatt83]

You are over the line with some of your comments. WAY Over it. There is no reason at all to say their parents should be embarrassed about the kids they raised, none. You comments say everything about YOU, and nothing about them.

Was what he said Over the top? Maybe.. but crazy intense out of line stuff is always said in game threads. You should prob just avoid the game threads.

[thedawginme]

Yes, the lack of makeup on the mound today was embarrassing today

You are, by far, the worst poster on a message board I have ever seen.

Worse than Arrow Dawg.

Seriously.

[HoopsDawg]

Yikes, LA pulling off the ball.

[ShotgunDawg]

Settle down Foambat.

Just get the runner over

[msstate7]

Awful ab, Luke

[KOdawg1]

He left 3 breaking pitches hanging. Damn

[ShotgunDawg]

Yikes, LA pulling off the ball.

That may have been the single worst AB of game thus far.

[I seen it dawg]

That was the old foambat. Good god what a shit at bat. Not even trying to have a good at bat. Hit a 4 run homer ****

[ShotgunDawg]

Come on Ollie

[Goldendawg]

Liverpool & Shotmypawpaw should get a room

You could loan them your Mom's basement and desktop, but then you couldn't continue quest toward 19K posts with crude remarks about our players and their parents.

[HoopsDawg]

Awful ab, Luke

That was pre-regional LA. He tried to pull all 3 pitches.

[Lord McBuckethead]

When a hitter swings under the ball and misses, baseball announcers sometimes say the pitcher got him with a "rising fastball." But technically, this pitch cannot exist if thrown overhand--it's impossible for a pitch thrown downward to buck gravity and achieve upward lift.

Maybe the way you pitch.

[I seen it dawg]

This guy hasn't thrown a ****ing strike yet

[Dawg61]

This pitcher sucks and half our lineup whiffs or pops up trash

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

We've had a lot of good ABs. The problem is the bad ones have been BAD

[HoopsDawg]

No Ollie!! A 2-0 bunt. No!!!

[CadaverDawg]

A 2-0 bunt by our catcher w a RISP??? SMFH

[ShotgunDawg]

Did we just bunt it back to the pitcher on a 2-0 count down by 4 runs?

Tell me I didn't just see that

[I seen it dawg]

Take that muther****er out of the game! Wtf are you doing Skelton??? Got to be shitting me wtf

[Cooterpoot]

The pressure is all over this team. We're not handling it well today. Look similar to game one.

[KOdawg1]

Why.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Did we just bunt it back to the pitcher on a 2-0 count down by 4 runs?

Tell me I didn't just see that

With one out. That better have been a stupid bunt for a hit

[Liverpooldawg]

Was what he said Over the top? Maybe.. but crazy intense out of line stuff is always said in game threads. You should prob just avoid the game threads.

He said the parents of JB and James should be embarrassed by the kids they raised. That's over the line. Now maybe at your church it isn't. Where do you preach again?

[Dawg61]

I despise that bunt call

[I seen it dawg]

I can't do another year of Skelton playing.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

You could loan them your Mom's basement and desktop, but then you couldn't continue quest toward 19K posts with crude remarks about our players and their parents.

I don't know shotgundawg's mom. But she's raised a coward.

[Bulldog1]

What did I just see?

[KOdawg1]

Guys, let's face it. It's not like Dusty was going to get a hit anyway

[ShotgunDawg]

Boy, between Foambat's AB & Skelton's lack of conscious thinking, those were 2 dumpster fire ABs.

[CadaverDawg]

He said the parents of JB and James should be embarrassed by the kids they raised. That's over the line. Now maybe at your church it isn't. Where do you preach again?

Take this bullshit somewhere else. Damn

[RocketDawg]

It has to do with spin rate. France has higher spin rate than some of our other guys which makes the ball fall less quickly, &, to the hitter, gives a late accelerating illusion

You didn't mention the "illusion" part though. ;)

[I seen it dawg]

I despise that bunt call

It was called by Skelton. He should be pulled from the game immediately

[HoopsDawg]

I despise that bunt call

That was probably Skelton doing that on his own.

[msstate7]

I despise that bunt call

That was on Skelton

[Cooterpoot]

See, they don't want to give up 1 run here and make a change.

[Johnson85]

It was called by Skelton. He should be pulled from the game immediately

Surely we don't let players just decide they want to bunt do we?

[ShotgunDawg]

You didn't mention the "illusion" part though. ;)

True

[msstate7]

Gotta reach, westburg

[ShotgunDawg]

Surely we don't let players just decide they want to bunt do we?

I'm pretty sure Skelton decided to do that on his on

[deadheaddawg]

Take this bullshit somewhere else. Damn

A wiseass man once said

[Dawg61]

Skelton must be the guy buying the bananas. No other reason he keeps playing.

[ShotgunDawg]

We need a pass ball

[Liverpooldawg]

You could loan them your Mom's basement and desktop, but then you couldn't continue quest toward 19K posts with crude remarks about our players and their parents.

Slow clap. Well put!

[Cooterpoot]

This is the 2nd best guy they've got. I bet they pull him if they get the out.

[Bully13]

R u sure about that?

[ShotgunDawg]

Well, Skelton blew our best chance by choosing to bunt on a 2-0 count.

He would've gotten a pitch right down the middle that he could drive.

Again, feels like we aren't competing.

[HoopsDawg]

This is the 2nd best guy they've got. I bet they pull him if they get the out.

Really? I hope he throws 40 pitches then.

[Dawg61]

The seems on a baseball can absolutely make it rise.

[I seen it dawg]

That whole ****ing shit inning is on foambat and muther****ing skelton. Just absolutely terrible non team at bats. ****kng terrible.

[msstate7]

Really? I hope he throws 40 pitches then.

Then we better hold em here. Jake up next so he will stay if score is same

[Cooterpoot]

Really? I hope he throws 40 pitches then.

He's got 3 lefty guys coming and if he throws to them, he could get there.

[MarketingBully]

If you are a catcher why do you try to bunt for a basehit? Skelton has made so many **** ups that he doesn’t deserve to be out there. If I was coach and he did that on his own, Gilbert would immediately go in.

[ShotgunDawg]

That whole ****ing shit inning is on foambat and muther****ing skelton. Just absolutely terrible non team at bats. ****kng terrible.

Agree.

Not that those guys are selfish players, but those were very selfish ABs

[ShotgunDawg]

This team would be significantly better next year by upgrading at catcher

[CadaverDawg]

You can't waste Leadoff doubles in Omaha and expect to win

[Cooterpoot]

The seems on a baseball can absolutely make it rise.

No it can't. Even a rise ball in softball doesn't really rise more than a inch or two and that's halfway to the plate.

[preachermatt83]

Liverpool & Shotmypawpaw should get a room

My guess is they are 1 in the same.

[I seen it dawg]

We can't locate or get ahead.

[msstate7]

You can't waste Leadoff doubles in Omaha and expect to win

Now they get a leadoff double

[ShotgunDawg]

Agree.

Not that those guys are selfish players, but those were very selfish ABs

I'll give Foambat this though, at least he tried & went all out. Would always rather see a play fail going 100%
