[CadaverDawg]

Would love to have Small, Gordon, and James as our weekend guys next year. And Plumlee midweek

[I seen it dawg]

Serious question... has the last few outings changed anyone’s feelings about GoTro

Not for me. I think a couple of guys have hit a wall. And we've gone cold which happens in the ebb and flow of a season. Just bad timing but if we weren't hot we wouldn't be playing tonite. He done miracles with this group.

[Really Clark?]

Gordon you have pitched your butt off this week

[KOdawg1]

We were doing great hitting against elite competition until the CWS. While I don't expect to score the 12 runs like we did against UNC, I certainly would expect way more than 1 or 2 runs.

Which is why I said slightly. We've just had bad approaches in the CWS and some of that goes to Gautreau

[MarketingBully]

I just can’t say enough about how impressed I am with Cole tonight.

Yep. Cole has come in and continued to shut teams down. He has given us a chance here. 9, 1, And 2 up need to do something here.

[BeardoMSU]

Would love to have Small, Gordon, and James as our weekend guys next year. And Plumlee midweek

Absolutely.

Several posters have said Cole isn't coming back. Why is that? What would it take to get him back if so?

[Ari Gold]

Get these first 2 on . And make them sweat a little

[maroonmania]

Gordon you have pitched your butt off this week

Yes, he has given us a chance again tonight. We just haven't gotten in done at the plate or on the bases.

[preachermatt83]

U can’t let Skelton hit this ab

[Saltydog]

NT

[CadaverDawg]

Every Damn Time. Right at them

[I seen it dawg]

OSU has been proactive with pitching changes. We are always reactive.

[ShotgunDawg]

Squared it up right at him.

This has been very disproportional

[preachermatt83]

Not for me. I think a couple of guys have hit a wall. And we've gone cold which happens in the ebb and flow of a season. Just bad timing but if we weren't hot we wouldn't be playing tonite. He done miracles with this group.

I tend to agree with this.

[maroonmania]

Absolutely.

Several posters have said Cole isn't coming back. Why is that? What would it take to get him back if so?

Apparently he went through Senior day is the reason most have said he isn't coming back.

[msstate7]

Gordon you have pitched your butt off this week

And last week

[MarketingBully]

All balls hit to leather.

[ShotgunDawg]

Right at them again

[KOdawg1]

See you next year Jake

[CoachT14]

OSU has been proactive with pitching changes. We are always reactive.

That what having arguably the best pitching coach in college baseball on your staff.

[ShotgunDawg]

That what having arguably the best pitching coach in college baseball on your staff.

He's good. Wes Johnson is better

[Bulldog1]

Wish these announcers would shut up about our coaching search.

[I seen it dawg]

That what having arguably the best pitching coach in college baseball on your staff.

Yeah that helps but this asshole sitting on his couch who is a pitching guy, albeit a couch bound one that doesn't coach anymore, can see it but the guy we are considering giving the reigns to this program to can't see it. Amazing.

[msstate7]

1 stinking play. 1 stinking play

[RocketDawg]

Apparently he went through Senior day is the reason most have said he isn't coming back.

What was his major? Maybe he just wants to get out of school and get a job.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen saying we’re winning a lot of at bats, but we just haven’t had the luck. Said nights like tonight are why MLB plays 160....bc the team that has squared more balls up is down 5-1. Said the big fly is the difference

[Coursesuper]

Three outs left.

[preachermatt83]

3 hits. Very very frustrating

[Dawgcap]

1 stinking play. 1 stinking play

Yep

[msstate7]

These are the same guys UNC punished. Our bats have severely let us down

[Bulldog1]

He's good. Wes Johnson is better

What kind of potential could you see in him as a head coach?

[confucius say]

Yeah that helps but this asshole sitting on his couch who is a pitching guy, albeit a couch bound one that doesn't coach anymore, can see it but the guy we are considering giving the reigns to this program to can't see it. Amazing.

Same.

[maroonmania]

Amazing we've held them scoreless since the 3rd but haven't even made a dent in their lead.

[CoachT14]

He's good. Wes Johnson is better

Subjective, which is why I said arguably. Wes, Yeskie, Saarloos, Scott Forbes at UNC, Scott Brown at Vandy, Roger McDowell at UL are all somewhere in the top 5.

[msstate7]

Cohen saying we’re winning a lot of at bats, but we just haven’t had the luck. Said nights like tonight are why MLB plays 160....bc the team that has squared more balls up is down 5-1. Said the big fly is the difference

I disagree. We have had bad luck, but they have made the plays defensively and played smart. We booted the ball to get out of the big inning and ran into outs

[CadaverDawg]

Tough tough end to a fun postseason. We ran in to the one team that wouldn’t give us anything and had luck on their side along with a ton of talent. Puts such a damper on a super fun few weeks.

[CadaverDawg]

I disagree. We have had bad luck, but they have made the plays defensively and played smart. We booted the ball to get out of the big inning and ran into outs

I agree.

[maroonmania]

I would respectfully disagree with JC. We have 3 hits for the game and the only real "rob job" of a hit was the line drive at the 3rd baseman.

[ChillOutDog]

Cohen saying we?re winning a lot of at bats, but we just haven?t had the luck. Said nights like tonight are why MLB plays 160....bc the team that has squared more balls up is down 5-1. Said the big fly is the difference

Big fly on Hendo

[preachermatt83]

It’s been a really fun last month of couple of months of baseball. But I’m ready for a new coach and fresh start with a ton of takented freshman coming back next year.

[RocketDawg]

Subjective, which is why I said arguably. Wes, Yeskie, Saarloos, Scott Forbes at UNC, Scott Brown at Vandy, Roger McDowell at UL are all somewhere in the top 5.

How can 7 coaches be in the top 5? **

[I seen it dawg]

Here is another proactive move we wouldn't do. Kwan will be back Monday night so Casey is getting him an at bat to see some live pitching.

[KOdawg1]

I'm so proud of Cole Gordon

[CoachT14]

How can 7 coaches be in the top 5? **

Because you can make an argument for all 7 to be in Top 5.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Lets win this thing

[preachermatt83]

Mangum gets amazing jumps.

[ShotgunDawg]

What kind of potential could you see in him as a head coach?

Not sure Wes would be a good head coach.

He's a great dude, but he kind of has a high school coach's personality.

Wes is a lab rat. I'm not sure he would have the charisma to be a head guy.

I think the best job for Wes would be to be a minor league pitching coordinator that made about 500K a year.

[CadaverDawg]

Round of applause for Cole Gordon. Hats off to you young man. Hell of a postseason

[RocketDawg]

Because you can make an argument for all 7 to be in Top 5.

Ah ....

[I seen it dawg]

Outstanding job Cole Gordon and if you're leaving thanks for being a great bulldog and all around good guy. Deserved to end it the way you've ended this season.

Me too. Time to name a freaking coach.

[BrunswickDawg]

How can 7 coaches be in the top 5? **

Just have been a business major

[maroonmania]

If you had told me we would hold them to 5 runs tonight I would have thought we would have gotten this win.

[Todd4State]

I hope Cole comes back next year.

[Goldendawg]

I just can?t say enough about how impressed I am with Cole tonight.

Not just tonight, the last part of the season. Maybe some Pro team needs to give him a look if he's not coming back. Now we need at lest a 4 run rally.

[msstate7]

Outstanding job Cole Gordon and if you're leaving thanks for being a great bulldog and all around good guy. Deserved to end it the way you've ended this season.

Good post

[ShotgunDawg]

Subjective, which is why I said arguably. Wes, Yeskie, Saarloos, Scott Forbes at UNC, Scott Brown at Vandy, Roger McDowell at UL are all somewhere in the top 5.

I would put Wes, Yeskie, & Saarloos well ahead of the others you mentioned.

I've never been a Scott Brown fan. He's failed to improve the deliveries of some of the guys they've had that are extremely talented.

[CadaverDawg]

If you had told me we would hold them to 5 runs tonight I would have thought we would have gotten this win.

Yep. This is on the bats

[RocketDawg]

Just have been a business major

:) That's what I was thinking too.

[maroonmania]

Round of applause for Cole Gordon. Hats off to you young man. Hell of a postseason

Yep, really was a rock for us in the postseason.

[Really Clark?]

Outstanding job Cole Gordon and if you're leaving thanks for being a great bulldog and all around good guy. Deserved to end it the way you've ended this season.

+1,000

[preachermatt83]

Proud of our boys for the fight and grit they’ve shown this post season. Now, bring on the moordawgs

[Coursesuper]

Two outs left.

[ChillOutDog]

See ya next year Tanner

[Dawg61]

Gordon's gone like 16 consecutive innings with 0 runs. He's probably gonna make the all CWS team.

[CadaverDawg]

Fitting end to Allen’s postseason

[ShotgunDawg]

Just a terrible strike 3 call

[maroonmania]

Wish we had pinch hit for Allen. Especially against a LH. That wasn't a strike there though.

[RocketDawg]

I think the ump just wants the game to be over.

[CoachT14]

I would put Wes, Yeskie, & Saarloos well ahead of the others you mentioned.

I've never been a Scott Brown fan. He's failed to improve the deliveries of some of the guys they've had that are extremely talented.

I see what you're saying, but that's a super young, talented staff and it takes time to fix deliveries and have consistency with it.

[msstate7]

I don't think tanner Allen will have a big head going into the offseason.

[preachermatt83]

Me too. Time to name a freaking coach.

Amen. Do it Monday

[ShotgunDawg]

Allen's body language has bothered me all tournament.

He needs to grow up a little. He's been sulking quite a bit.

That's a big growth point for him

[bobtail bob]

NT

[KOdawg1]

Thanks for a good career Stovall. Good luck in pro ball

[ShotgunDawg]

I see what you're saying, but that's a super young, talented staff and it takes time to fix deliveries and have consistency with it.

Derek Johnson was on another level compared to Brown

[preachermatt83]

I hate losing so freaking bad.

[bobtail bob]

These dawgs gave it their all. Can't ask for more.
Let's get Jake and the guys back next season and win this.
The Beavs are going to crush the hogs in my opinion.

[msstate7]

These pitches are borderline, but we need to quit crying up there. Swing at borderline pitches

[Bulldog1]

Great run from this team this year. Just outstanding! But I'm ready to see who our new coach is and I'm ready for some Football.

[CoachT14]

Derek Johnson was on another level compared to Brown

Now that I agree with completely, Derek is one of the best in the biz.

[maroonmania]

These dawgs gave it their all. Can't ask for more.
Let's get Jake and the guys back next season and win this.
The Beavs are going to crush the hogs in my opinion.

Yep, don't think there has ever been an MSU team I've been more proud of.

[Coursesuper]

One out left.

[preachermatt83]

Allen's body language has bothered me all tournament.

He needs to grow up a little. He's been sulking quite a bit.

That's a big growth point for him

I’ve noticed that too.

[BrunswickDawg]

Well, it’s been fun fellas. 69 days till kickoff

[preachermatt83]

Great run from this team this year. Just outstanding! But I'm ready to see who our new coach is and I'm ready for some Football.

Yup

[maroonmania]

These pitches are borderline, but we need to quit crying up there. Swing at borderline pitches

Allen could not have hit the pitch he struck out on if he had tried.

[RocketDawg]

Tied for 3rd in the country isn't bad considering how the season started.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Listening to Cohen on the broadcast you would think we are winning by 10.

[msstate7]

Allen could not have hit the pitch he struck out on if he had tried.

It was way too close to look at

[I seen it dawg]

Please hire a coach that will stop all the gimmicks that become the focus of our team.

[preachermatt83]

Mcquary looks like Aaron tippin

[I seen it dawg]

Great at bat by Mac. Never gave in or tried to hit a 5 run homer.

[msstate7]

Great AB, Mac. Can't wait for your senior season

[RocketDawg]

Listening to Cohen on the broadcast you would think we are winning by 10.

He might just be happy that he doesn't have to explain why he didn't hire Henderson.

[preachermatt83]

Please hire a coach that will stop all the gimmicks that become the focus of our team.

Yes!! From beards to bananas

[msstate7]

Mcquary looks like Aaron tippin

Showing your age

ETA... I know who Aaron tippin is too haha

[maroonmania]

Yes!! From beards to bananas

Beards and Bananas got us to 2nd and 3rd in the nation. Better than all of our other CWS teams except '85 was also 3rd.

[I seen it dawg]

Pat Casey is about to have a stroke on those 2 walks. Lol

[msstate7]

You mean nothing here, Luke... just reach

[preachermatt83]

Skelton better not hit if Alexander gets on.

[maroonmania]

We've gotten more walks tonight than we do hits.

[preachermatt83]

Showing your age

ETA... I know who Aaron tippin is too haha

Gotta stand for something man

[maroonmania]

Skelton better not hit if Alexander gets on.

Exactly, if we get our last out with Skelton batting then Henderson should be tarred and feathered.

[Bully13]

Let your hearts be not troubled. Many a man has floundered due to Beaver.

[preachermatt83]

Skelton is on deck. U can’t be serious

[ShotgunDawg]

Bombshell fan of ours in the crowd

[maroonmania]

Skelton is on deck. U can’t be serious

Pinch hit please!!!

[Bulldog1]

Can't let Skelton hit here.

[preachermatt83]

You pinch hit some power if Alexander gets on. It cannot be Skelton. It’s just not even a possibility

[msstate7]

I think Luke has a big senior season

[BrunswickDawg]

Skelton is on deck. U can’t be serious

Who do you hit? Vansau, who hasn’t had an AB in a month?

[KOdawg1]

Don't do this to me guys. Don't get my hopes up to break my heart

[parabrave]

Karma. LA getting an RBI single in his last game.

[MarketingBully]

Why Gary why?

[preachermatt83]

No henderson. Not Skelton. You cannot do this.

[Bulldog1]

TANNER POOLE???? Really??

[I seen it dawg]

Well it's better than Skelton

[maroonmania]

Well, we put the long ball threat in but also the K machine.

[preachermatt83]

Tanner Poole. Hmmm. Anybody better than Skelton.

[ShotgunDawg]

Poole has a long swing. Need a hanging breaking ball

[msstate7]

I think Gary was trying to bait them into going RHP to go with Hatcher

[preachermatt83]

Crap. He’s gonna k here.

[BrunswickDawg]

Holy shit

[Bulldog1]

He hit him!!! Let's go guys! Hahahaha! Lol!

[preachermatt83]

Whoa

[ChillOutDog]

Banana time

[ShotgunDawg]

We got the right guy up

[I seen it dawg]

Hahahahahahahaha i just said to my wife please hit him in the back

[msstate7]

Way to give em a finish, dawgs

[preachermatt83]

Walk it off westburg!!! How fitting westburg is up with all this banana business

[ShotgunDawg]

They always go changeup in aggressive situations

[msstate7]

We got the right guy up

No, the right guy is on deck. Need a walk

[I seen it dawg]

If we lose here we lose,**** it

[ShotgunDawg]

Good pitch calls by OSU

[preachermatt83]

Poole can run. Gapper May tie it.

[I seen it dawg]

Sit change here

[ShotgunDawg]

Hang a CH here

[Bulldog1]

Come on, Westburg!

[ShotgunDawg]

Watch for FB in

[msstate7]

I love the fight in this team.

[ChillOutDog]

Good year

[Coursesuper]

Season over.

[RocketDawg]

Well, had 'em worried there for a while.

[West Tn Dawg]

Thanks for the Ride Dawgs! It was fun. You played with the best in the country and won more than you lost! Looking forward to next year.
And as always ............
O=le
M=iss
A=t
H=ome
A=gain!!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Well ****

[preachermatt83]

Well crap

[ShotgunDawg]

Pitcher made good pitches. They simply weren't going to allow Westburg to get something to yank.

That's good pitch selection.

[BrunswickDawg]

So close

[msstate7]

Westburg way too aggressive.


Great season, dawgs.

[KOdawg1]

Went out fighting. We wouldn't have it any other way

[Bulldog1]

Great run, guys!

[ShotgunDawg]

Westburg way too aggressive.


Great season, dawgs.

I always prefer an aggressive hitter in that situation than a passive one. Just didn't get the pitch

[MarketingBully]

Great season but time for Gary to move on imo. Let’s get an elite coach in here and win it in the next five years.

[BulldogBear]

5 freaking 2 out runs

One stupid inning

[msstate7]

I always prefer an aggressive hitter in that situation than a passive one. Just didn't get the pitch

Any hitter is better in 2-0 count than 0-2

[The Federalist Engineer]

I'm so proud of Cole Gordon

Cole was a huge warrior for us, kid is true Maroon

[West Tn Dawg]

Were one bad play at first away from playing in the finals! MAN THAT SUX!!!

[DownwardDawg]

What a great season

[Lord McBuckethead]

We had a shot. Good season dawgs. Stay hungry.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We lost cause lady fortune did not favor us today. Gave up a really bad inning and all our rallies died with good or decent contact

Credit OSU, they are a top team. We didn't lose to some slack jawed guys with "Rebels" written on their chest

[maroonmania]

Went out fighting. We wouldn't have it any other way

Yep, one grand slam HR away from playing in the finals!

[MarketingBully]

Were one bad play at first away from playing in the finals! MAN THAT SUX!!!

Yep.

[LC Dawg]

Helluva year. Fun team to watch. Looking forward to next year in the greatest college baseball stadium ever built.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We had a shot. Good season dawgs. Stay hungry.

[MarketingBully]

Small is officially coming back per his Twitters.

[msstate7]

Small is officially coming back per his Twitters.

Best post of the night

[I seen it dawg]

Friday night taken care of

[Bulldog1]

Small, James, and Cole (if he comes back).

[msstate7]

Small, James, and Cole (if he comes back).

I'm still intrigued by Plumlee. With our pitching situation, I take him back in a heartbeat. He's a good Sunday/midweek guy

[Dawg2003]

Really weird and emotional season. Really grew to love this team. I was drawn back into a season after saying I was done getting this involved. I guess I just need to surrender and realize I can’t stay away. Some good things going into next season: most of the lineup is back, freshmen were thrown into the fire and broken in, players got a taste of success and will be hungry for more, they have the belief they can win it all, hope this season lit a fire under their asses to win it all next year, Ethan Small is back, maybe Ginn will come, hope Cole Gordon comes back. Hail State forever!

[MarketingBully]

I'm still intrigued by Plumlee. With our pitching situation, I take him back in a heartbeat. He's a good Sunday/midweek guy

We need an update from Commerce because word out of Brandon is Ginn is leaning to going to State. He would be a difference maker next year and with him we could win a natty.
