**Tennessee Game 2 Thread**

[CadaverDawg]

I know it's a little early, but this is a big game and I'm looking forward to it.

What kind of lineup changes is everyone expecting? Will Foscue be at 2B? Gilbert at 3rd?

[chef dixon]

I think last night could be a spring board to come out firing today. A couple of our big bats are due.

[CadaverDawg]

Is UT throwing a RHP? If so, I expect a big win

[MarketingBully]

I think a key today is can we jump on them early. We beat their best two arms last night. If we can make them go to the bullpen early we should sweep them.

[99jc]

The best pitcher UT could throw is a 60 mph junk pitcher we seem to have no bat discipline when we face one.

[West Tn Dawg]

That's the killing part, we should have TN pitching in a hole and start covering them up today. Seems we always make some junk pitcher look like an AA. Hope we change that today and jump on them hard and early!
Go Dawgs!

[Steakonastick]

Hearing no Ginn today.

[MetEdDawg]

Steve says Ginn not starting today. Plumlee on the bump?

Not sure what that's about but definitely something to watch.

[ShotgunDawg]

Hearing no Ginn today.

Hopefully just a predetermined week off to manage his innings and we just kept it under wraps to keep Tennessee from preparing

[CadaverDawg]

Hearing no Ginn today.

Nooooooooo

[MarketingBully]

If anything is up with Ginn we are ****ed.

[MarketingBully]

Boy good thing we won last night.

[HoopsDawg]

I hope it's strategic.

[MarketingBully]

Seems this shit happens in every sport of ours....

[Homedawg]

It's not strategic. Has some sort of injury.

[MarketingBully]

Okay I feel better: “I am told Ginn had a little prolonged soreness after throwing on short rest last week and may pitch tomorrow. I am told it's nothing major, but that they elected to bump him back a day. If State wins today, they may give him the weekend off.”

[MarketingBully]

If we win today he’ll just get the weekend off.

[chef dixon]

Less pressure for Plumlee today

[MarketingBully]

Less pressure for Plumlee today

Maybe we go Plumlee today and Keegan tomorrow. We could use this as a positive. But imo when we have another series start on Thursday we definitely will want to pitch Ginn the Saturday game.

[CadaverDawg]

Okay I feel better: “I am told Ginn had a little prolonged soreness after throwing on short rest last week and may pitch tomorrow. I am told it's nothing major, but that they elected to bump him back a day. If State wins today, they may give him the weekend off.”

Smart to hold him back, but I don't like arm soreness

[MarketingBully]

It's not strategic. Has some sort of injury.

Sounds to me like it’s more precautionary then anything else and if we needed him he would pitch. That’s not some sort of injury...

[bulldogcountry1]

If it were anything concerning, we never would have named him as the Saturday starter a couple days ago.

[MarketingBully]

If it were anything concerning, we never would have named him as the Saturday starter a couple days ago.

I’d go James tomorrow but when we have these Thursday series I’d definitely pitch Ginn on Saturday instead.

[I seen it dawg]

Lineup yet?

[Dawg2003]

Okay I feel better: ?I am told Ginn had a little prolonged soreness after throwing on short rest last week and may pitch tomorrow. I am told it's nothing major, but that they elected to bump him back a day. If State wins today, they may give him the weekend off.?

So does anyone believe this? I'm worried. Is this legit or an excuse?

[I seen it dawg]

Well no need to **** with Ginny's health. Hope it's not daddy or vaginitis. No reason to believe it at this point. This is a different league than high school and takes freshman some getting used to. Hopefully we win today and get him back next week. I'm ok with it.

[CadaverDawg]

Nut check time for our boys. Winning a road SEC series without one of your best arms would show a lot.

[I seen it dawg]

Imagine that Mangum singles

[I seen it dawg]

Damn what a play

[I seen it dawg]

Made guy work but got nothing.leave Mangum on base.

[CadaverDawg]

What an awful camera view. Was a satellite image not available?

[MarketingBully]

Yep this production sucks balls. Tennessee really couldn’t give a shit about baseball.

[I seen it dawg]

K for Plumlee 1 down.

[I seen it dawg]

Need a good outing today.

[I seen it dawg]

Gilbert with a play 2 down.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Plumlee is rolling right now. If he keeps this stuff up he'll go 5-6 easy

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yep this production sucks balls. Tennessee really couldn’t give a shit about baseball.

Theres no excuse to lose a series to them IMO

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy Plum!

[I seen it dawg]

Great inning for Plumlee. Strikes. 2 ks going to t2

[Skydawg1]

Bubba and LuLu are back tonight.. Hard to see them from so far away, though.

[MarketingBully]

Plumlee’s stuff is on. His breaking ball has good break and his fastball is sharp. If he can go far in this game would help us out.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Are we sure Ginn and Plumlee didn't just switch jersies?

[CadaverDawg]

Never had to watch a game through binoculars while sitting on my couch

[I seen it dawg]

Plumlee is rolling right now. If he keeps this stuff up he'll go 5-6 easy

We don't talk about no hitters in the dugout...

[WSOPdawg]

What an awful camera view. Was a satellite image not available?


Yep this production sucks balls. Tennessee really couldn’t give a shit about baseball.

Yep, terrible announcing crew whose audio overwhelms the crappy camera angle. About the worse I've seen that is SEC-network related. C'mon UT, step up your game!!!

[MarketingBully]

Yep, terrible announcing crew whose audio overwhelms the crappy camera angle. About the worse I've seen that is SEC-network related. C'mon UT, step up your game!!!

Their audio is ahead of their video. It’s almost embarrassing.

[I seen it dawg]

Too many fly outs so far. Tanner to center

[I seen it dawg]

Another flyout from Skelton.

[I seen it dawg]

We get nothing. B2

[Cloak]

This broadcast is the worst I've ever seen. Embarrassing for the SEC

[MarketingBully]

Our lineup is just coasting right now. It doesn’t look like we have a plan at the plate imo. Need to do better then that especially since we don’t have Ginn pitching.

[I seen it dawg]

Gift out on bunt

[yjnkdawg]

Somebody must have stolen some of the ESPN cameras or nobody knows how to use them. No Zoom and I would hate to be the one to make the call on a challenged play using those camera angles.

[MarketingBully]

I can’t believe our lineup is coasting like it is. Hey batters let’s just put more pressure on Plumlee assholes.

[I seen it dawg]

Double. Bad angle from Mac he has to cut that off

[99jc]

I'm about to have a seizer watch this bouncing centerfield camera

[I seen it dawg]

And now mental melt

[I seen it dawg]

How the **** you get crossed up on a 3x0 count Skelton

[I seen it dawg]

Good play by Gilbert and Allen 2 down.

[99jc]

Our infield is scary on every infield ground ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Wow where was that. Ump blows a called strike. 2 on 2 out

[I seen it dawg]

**** hbp. Bases juiced. And tenn hitter go to ****kng first and keep stares to yourself bitch.

[99jc]

Plum lee is about to implode

[MarketingBully]

Our lineup better wake the **** up. Ginn might need to pitch tomorrow.

[99jc]

How valuable is mangum

[I seen it dawg]

Great play by Mangum i guess. Can't ****ing see anything bc tenn sucks so bad

[MarketingBully]

Thank goodness for Mangum. He seems to be the only guy playing this weekend.

[CadaverDawg]

Think Mangum made a great play, but I'd have had a better view if I stuck my head out the window in Mississippi

[Duke Silver]

How valuable is mangum

Pretty darn

[HoopsDawg]

Gilbert too far off the plate per usual, strike outs. No plate coverage on the outside pitches.

[I seen it dawg]

Tenn a bunch of little bitches.

[99jc]

Think Mangum made a great play, but I'd have had a better view if I stuck my head out the window in Mississippi

I thought you were going to say better view if you stuck your head up a bulls ass.

[maroonmania]

Offense not even threatening to score at the moment.

[CadaverDawg]

Hitters look like feces

[MarketingBully]

What is our lineup trying to do? Lazy fly ball them to death?

[MarketingBully]

Hitters look like feces

Yeah this is about the worst case scenario you can call for.

[CadaverDawg]

I thought you were going to say better view if you stuck your head up a bulls ass.

https://y.yarn.co/acd4a4f1-a7f9-4328-b05e-752f1652ff52_text.gif

[I seen it dawg]

Tenn baseball gave some lame excuse on twitter about only having 2 cameras bc of a lot of stuff going on on campus. Hammer them to sec

[MarketingBully]

Offense not even threatening to score at the moment.

At some point you’d think Gautreau and Lemonis would step in and say use some patience wait for your pitch and quit trying to hit homeruns and popping the ball up!

[maroonmania]

Seriously, what is wrong with our offense? We put up all these gaudy numbers in the midweek and then can't do crap against decent SEC pitching.

[99jc]

https://y.yarn.co/acd4a4f1-a7f9-4328-b05e-752f1652ff52_text.gif

Yeah that's it. Lol

[skadoosh14]

Anyone know the pitch count?

[maroonmania]

Nice inning by Plumlee there.

[I seen it dawg]

Good inning Plumlee. T4 0-0

[CadaverDawg]

Plumlee is doing his job...hitters??

[MarketingBully]

Seriously, what is wrong with our offense? We put up all these gaudy numbers in the midweek and then can't do crap against decent SEC pitching.

Doesn?t look like we are focused at the plate. We are swinging under a lot of pitches and just lazy fly balling them to the outfield. No line drives. I think we don?t have any patience either. Only two batters who have stretched this guy into deep counts are Mangum, Mac, and Gilbert.

[MarketingBully]

See what I mean? Another fly ball out and on one pitch.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

If I had a dollar for everytime I heard him say "3 unassisted is how you score that play" I'd be able to but enough beer to not care about how bad this broadcast is

[RougeDawg]

Seriously, what is wrong with our offense? We put up all these gaudy numbers in the midweek and then can't do crap against decent SEC pitching.

If I had to guess, the sec opponents are pitching to the scouting report and our hitters are not adjusting their approach. You have to know the scouting report against you as much as you do your opponent. I have seen very little adjustments at the plate if any at all. The only player that adjusts from bat to bat and game to game is Mangum. He knows what he?s doing. The other guys are not looking for the pitches that they know the pitcher is going to throw them in certain counts/situations.

Good hitters know what the pitcher is about to throw them before the catcher even sends The signal, more times than they guess wrong. If you barrel up a pitch fair or foul, you are not getting that the next AB unless the pitcher gets behind. It?s a constant learning and computation from AB you AB, hitter to hitter, and game to game.

[I seen it dawg]

Finally. Foscue comes thru again. 1-0

[MarketingBully]

Great hitting by Foscue 1-0. Now need Tanner to come through here.

[99jc]

Need a HR

[MarketingBully]

Moving Allen ahead of Skelton was a dumb move.

[MarketingBully]

How many lazy fly balls is that?

[West Tn Dawg]

Damn, TA is in a funk!

[CadaverDawg]

Nice job by Foscue. Allen might as well take a fungo bat up there...he's just giving the outfield fly balls to shag

[MarketingBully]

Nice job by Foscue. Allen might as well take a fungo bat up there...he's just giving the outfield fly balls to shag

And what’s worse he’s moved up in the order when Skelton was actually delivering much more then Allen was.

[maroonmania]

Moving Allen ahead of Skelton was a dumb move.

Agreed, not sure what the point was in that. At least we are stringing some hits together this inning.

[I seen it dawg]

Making this guy work. Gonna get in their pen soon. Single for Skelton. We are doing a good job of extending innings even without getting runs. Turns lineup over and gets top More at bats.

[MarketingBully]

Allen really should be batting 8th imo until he’s shown that he’s out of this slump.

[I seen it dawg]

Come on Hatcher this is huge. WP 2 runners up

[CadaverDawg]

Hatcher has cooled off. Can't take that pitch man

[I seen it dawg]

Shit. We leave 2 on but get a run and turning lineup over. Hatcher Ks. 1-0 b4

[99jc]

Sometimes hitters are just dumbasses that was it.

[MarketingBully]

Come on Hatcher this is huge. WP 2 runners up

Struck him out on an inside pitch. Hatcher needed to foul that off.

[maroonmania]

Boy, hate to see a strike out looking with 2 outs and men on 2nd and 3rd. Hatcher's got to protect the plate there.

[HoopsDawg]

Struck him out on an inside pitch. Hatcher needed to foul that off.

Probably just need to go with Cumbest.

[HoopsDawg]

These guys are saying Ginn is sick and will pitch tomorrow.

[99jc]

Probably just need to go with Cumbest.

I agree

[CadaverDawg]

Wow, great quick inning by Plumlee

[MarketingBully]

Plumlee has answered the call today. Pitching well through 4.

[99jc]

These guys are saying Ginn is sick and will pitch tomorrow.

Yeah I thought it was a strategic move ny Lemonis...guess not.

[CadaverDawg]

These guys are saying Ginn is sick and will pitch tomorrow.

Hope that's the one thing they get right this weekend

[MarketingBully]

Probably just need to go with Cumbest.

I agree too. The kid is going to be special and has more upside. Hell if Allen keeps struggling just play Hatcher at first.

[maroonmania]

Wow, great quick inning by Plumlee

Giving us a great effort, we don't need to waste it.

[CadaverDawg]

Plumlee has answered the call today. Pitching well through 4.

Plumlee won the Sunday gig going forward today imo

[IMissJack]

Man this announcer on SEC+ is terrible.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Smart to hold him back, but I don't like arm soreness

Gotta protect the franchise player.

[MarketingBully]

Lazy fly balls. Man that was bad Mangum. Hits the second pitch after the pitcher gives up a 6 pitch walk...

[maroonmania]

Dang, needed a hit there from Mangum to set up the scoring opportunity. Lazy fly out.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Top left of the screen is a State fan with his 2 kids, that boy is a delight to watch between pitches

[The Federalist Engineer]

Man this announcer on SEC+ is terrible.

The video work is probably is two cell phones on FaceTime

[RougeDawg]

This umpires zone is all over the place. Can someone check and see if he has any connections to TN? Call strike on Hatcher and now this inning is a questionable. Given you have to expand the zone as a hitter, it was not a strike.

[CadaverDawg]

STOP POPPING UP

[MarketingBully]

How many lazy fly balls are we going to hit off this ****er?

[99jc]

The ump is not the problem today just saying.

[MarketingBully]

STOP POPPING UP

I’d say at least 10-11 of our 14 outs are lazy fly balls.

[99jc]

We're gonna 17 around and lose this if we're not careful.

[CadaverDawg]

Unreal. Wtf is going on?

[maroonmania]

Our offense is anemic with all the fly balls and pop outs.

[MarketingBully]

12 of our 15 outs are pop ups.

[RougeDawg]

How many lazy fly balls are we going to hit off this ****er?

A whole lot more if we do not start sitting offspeed early in the count. Every LH hitter is getting offspeed first pitch. Most RH hitters are too. At some point you?d think we would realize that and start hammering this guy. But hey, I?m not the coach.

[CadaverDawg]

Going to waste a great outing by Plumlee bc we can't stop popping up

[MarketingBully]

Unreal. Wtf is going on?

They look distracted/unfocused. Like they have no plan at the plate.

[RougeDawg]

The ump is not the problem today just saying.

Never said he was but if the zone is not consistent, it?s difficult to eliminate pitches as a hitter when the ball comes out of the pitchers hand. You can tell ball/strike almost every pitch by release point, if the umpires zone is consistent. If it?s nit consistent it throws off what a hitter has been trained to do and makes you less productive. That?s why this game has 3 runs right now.

Eta. The release point from top of the zone to bottom of the zone, when it reaches the plate, is only a few inches. As a hitter you should be picking this up as other hitters are batting. Then when you hit you can know ball/strike almost before the ball is released based on release point. Then all you have to do if release point says strike is determine pitch

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Seriously though we're very slow to adjust in games. If the approach we have going in works and we score a lot, then the O takes the foot off the gas and they catch up late. If the opening approach doesn't work we take 5+ innings to adjust, usually we don't adjust at all and if we eventually score it's because the approach happens to work in the reliever

[maroonmania]

Pathetic. 2 runs in regulation yesterday and now 1 run through 5 today. LSU's Sunday guy had us shutout until the 9th. Our offense is really struggling right now.

[I seen it dawg]

**** lead off walk

[CadaverDawg]

That was strike 3!

[CadaverDawg]

This is where we lose the lead bc we can't score runs

[I seen it dawg]

**** now we won't throw a strike. Leadoff walks are so deadly. Change everything.

[maroonmania]

Afraid Plumlee is running out of gas. He is losing his ability to locate.

[Saltydog]

Not a good situation here. 2 on, no out and Plumlee behind on the hitter.

[RougeDawg]

That was strike 3!

Exactly. It has been a strike some ABs today and then it?s not. Hard as a hitter to get locked in.

[MarketingBully]

Ginn ****ed us today guys.

[RougeDawg]

Ginn ****ed us today guys.

Not adjusting to first pitch offspeed is what is killing us today. Someone with a connection send a message to someone on our team. Look away early.

Had we adjusted to offspeed early we would be getting more fastballs.

[I seen it dawg]

Throw a ****ing strike! They are giving us an out you have to be mentally tough enough on the mound to take it. ****

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf

[maroonmania]

wtf???????

[VandelayIndustries]

Wow!!!

[HoopsDawg]

WTF was that?

[BeardoMSU]

What the **** just happened?

I saw Plumlee throw the ball to the dugout, was that it?

[VandelayIndustries]

Plumlee throw the ball into the dugout,

[MarketingBully]

How does an interference allow you two bases?

[maroonmania]

Interference of what?? 2 bases awarded?? That's is unreal.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

what in the actual ****? What interference? And what interference results in 2 automatic bases??? Why the hell is Lemones not ejected right now?

[VandelayIndustries]

Yea I don't get that the 2 bases thing

[MarketingBully]

Plumlee throw the ball into the dugout,

That wasn’t it. Time had been called. It happened somewhere else.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Was that for throwing the ball away - impetuously?

Two run penalty

[I seen it dawg]

Seriously we got called for Plumlee throwing ball out of the game? He's a ****ing idiot if so.

And of course bc this is a ****ing Juco broadcast we get nothing.

[VandelayIndustries]

Had to be that. there was nothing else

[maroonmania]

How does an interference allow you two bases?

What interference? Plumlee threw the ball to get the out at first. What else happened?? That totally changes everything about this game.

[RougeDawg]

Did he not have timeout before tossing the ball into dugout? That?s all I can think of. But when is a ball in the dugout ever two bases? Should only be one.

[MarketingBully]

Hell the announcers don’t even know what is going on.

[bulldogcountry1]

Ginn ****ed us today guys.

71 lazy fly balls could possibly be playing a bigger role right now.

[VandelayIndustries]

Did he not have timeout before tossing the ball into dugout? That?s all I can think of. But when is a ball in the dugout ever two bases? Should only be one.

That's the only thing I can think of, didn't call time

[MarketingBully]

What interference? Plumlee threw the ball to get the out at first. What else happened?? That totally changes everything about this game.

The out was at first. Time had been called and Plumlee threw the ball but time had been called out.

[maroonmania]

Seriously we got called for Plumlee throwing ball out of the game? He's a ****ing idiot

That is the most MState thing ever. Watching baseball for 40 years and never seen anything like that. I didn't see Plumlee throw the ball in the dugout but why in the hell would he do something like that?

[MarketingBully]

That's the only thing I can think of, didn't call time

Time was called.

[Saltydog]

That's one thing about Lemonis. I've yet to see him get fired up at an umpire all year. Now, not sure what happened there but unless it's something he knew happened, I'd be raising pure hell.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Again I will say, why is Lemones not kicked out? he apent all of 10 seconds talking to them. The only explanation is that there's some clear 2 base rule that Plumlee obviously did so Lemo didn't argue. But if it's that clear why can nobody find it?

[VandelayIndustries]

He wanted a new ball

[mparkerfd20]

That is some grade A bullshit

[Todd4State]

If I'm Lemonis I'm ejected after that.

[HoopsDawg]

WTF was Plumlee thinking? Why wouldn't you toss the ball to the ump.

[MarketingBully]

He wanted a new ball

Yep and time was called. The home plate ump said it wasn’t but time was called.

[KOdawg1]

Lol we're playing like trash

[maroonmania]

Why would possess Plumlee to throw the ball into the dugout regardless of time being called or not?

[HoopsDawg]

Stay on top of the damn ball. That's 11 flyouts.

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Again I will say, why is Lemones not kicked out? he apent all of 10 seconds talking to them. The only explanation is that there's some clear 2 base rule that Plumlee obviously did so Lemo didn't argue. But if it's that clear why can nobody find it?

Yea, Humpty Dumpty should have gone IB on them.

[maroonmania]

This is just a disgusting game. Would like to just turn it off and forget it I'm so freakin' pissed with our anemic offense and what just happened in that last inning.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

WTF was Plumlee thinking? Why wouldn't you toss the ball to the ump.

Why on earth would the ump call that? I get the rule but it's obvious the runners weren't about to score, so Plumlee throwing the ball over had no effect on the play and it obviously wasn't an attempt to game anything. Ump just wanted to be important, same thing we see in SEC basketball

[MarketingBully]

How many pop ups? That’s five straight pop ups.

[99jc]

Mother 17 a pop up

[KOdawg1]

Hey look. Another 17ing popup

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Had to be what, a 7 pitch inning?

[MarketingBully]

Why on earth would the ump call that? I get the rule but it's obvious the runners weren't about to score, so Plumlee throwing the ball over had no effect on the play and it obviously wasn't an attempt to game anything. Ump just wanted to be important, same thing we see in SEC basketball

The shity thing is time had been called. The umps should have corrected the home plate ump but they didn’t. Time is almost always called like a half second later. That was a bullshit call.

[maroonmania]

Yea, Humpty Dumpty should have gone IB on them.

Was that not reviewable to see when time was called compared to when the ball was thrown in the dugout? Lemonis barely even came out and discussed it.

[99jc]

Gonna tune out for a while I just kicked the cat.

[MarketingBully]

If we lose this game 2-1, that would be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.

[maroonmania]

Gonna tune out for a while I just kicked the cat.

I'm gone too after that. Don't even feel like this game will be fairly decided now.

[MarketingBully]

Was that not reviewable to see when time was called compared to when the ball was thrown in the dugout? Lemonis barely even came out and discussed it.

That’s not reviewable.

[CadaverDawg]

Plumlee throwing a 2 hitter and we're losing. Lol

[Todd4State]

Why on earth would the ump call that? I get the rule but it's obvious the runners weren't about to score, so Plumlee throwing the ball over had no effect on the play and it obviously wasn't an attempt to game anything. Ump just wanted to be important, same thing we see in SEC basketball

That's an ump being a dick. No other explanation.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Love this new infield

[HoopsDawg]

Why on earth would the ump call that? I get the rule but it's obvious the runners weren't about to score, so Plumlee throwing the ball over had no effect on the play and it obviously wasn't an attempt to game anything. Ump just wanted to be important, same thing we see in SEC basketball

My ass would have been thrown out if I'm Lemon. I might have taken 1st base with me.

[MarketingBully]

The umps should have corrected the home plate umpire but that’s not a reviewable call.

[MarketingBully]

That's an ump being a dick. No other explanation.

Yep. These umps this weekend have favored Tennessee by far.

[MarketingBully]

We’ve got nine outs left.

[Skydawg1]

The umps are aware of the lack of replay views on tonights "broadcast" (get it?)

[I seen it dawg]

Great outing for Plumlee ruined by a totally moronic play by him.

[KOdawg1]

We?ve got nine outs left.

7 of them will be pop-ups

[MarketingBully]

Great outing for Plumlee ruined by a totally moronic play by him.

BUT time had been called so really it was a bad call by the ump. But I get it you shouldn’t allow an ump to make the call.

[HoopsDawg]

How many pop ups? That’s five straight pop ups.

12 total.

[MarketingBully]

Well, our lineup gave the series right back to Tennessee. Add Ginn’s no show today and we really took defeat from the jaws of victory today. Just bad play all the way around and if Ginn goes tomorrow he more then likely cost us a sweep.

[MarketingBully]

This home plate ump is going to squeeze the shit out of our pitchers the rest of this game. Lemon really should have gotten thrown out on that bogus two base error on Plumlee.

[MarketingBully]

Hopefully they aren’t depending on these camera angles for replays because no way in hell would anything be overturned.

[Saltydog]

We just look flat this weekend and seem to be just going thru the motions.

[MarketingBully]

We just look flat this weekend and seem to be just going thru the motions.

We’ve looked flat three weekends in a row. Something is going on and I don’t like this shit.

[MarketingBully]

12 total.

Oh it’s more then 12. I’d say it’s about 15.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well, our lineup gave the series right back to Tennessee. Add Ginn’s no show today and we really took defeat from the jaws of victory today. Just bad play all the way around and if Ginn goes tomorrow he more then likely cost us a sweep.

You can't expect Ginn to do any better than Plumlee did today. If we lose today it's on the O, not the lack of a quality start. In fact I'm glad Ginn didn't waste the opportunity to rest up since we'd lose anyway

[mparkerfd20]

We gonna lose 2-1 and I'm going to be livid

[Saltydog]

This team is so frustrating.

[KOdawg1]

LOL

[HoopsDawg]

We’ve looked flat three weekends in a row. Something is going on and I don’t like this shit.

UT has really good pitching.

[MarketingBully]

You can't expect Ginn to do any better than Plumlee did today. If we lose today it's on the O, not the lack of a quality start. In fact I'm glad Ginn didn't waste the opportunity to rest up since we'd lose anyway

Ginn wouldn’t have thrown the ball into the dug out and I would fully expect him to shut out these ****s.

[RocketDawg]

The broadcast last night was much better ... much better announcers, and you could actually see the field. Did Tennessee turn off half the lights? And the sound keeps going off.

[MarketingBully]

UT has really good pitching.

Missouri and Alabama could shut us out with our approach at the plate this weekend.

[Saltydog]

If the sound went off and stayed off it wouldn't bother me. Announcers are JV quality.

[CadaverDawg]

Bad loss. Offense cost us a game we shoulda won tonight

[MarketingBully]

Ginn has to pitch tomorrow. We needed him tonight with the way our hitters have shit the bed.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

wtf are we pulling White for? Let him pitch to lefthander just to pull him after he gets the K?

[RocketDawg]

If the sound went off and stayed off it wouldn't bother me. Announcers are JV quality.

One of them isn't too bad, but the one who drags out everything he says is terrible. Overall the broadcast is a 1 out of 10.

Radar shows what looks like a pretty intense line of storms with wind just moved through Starkville and especially Columbus. Is it as bad as it looks?

Ross Mitchell making us look silly out there now

Just heavy rain and some wind. nothing terrible I don't think. more coming in a few hours.

We must've not given Jobu his offering...

[West Tn Dawg]

How many fly outs have they hit tonight???? Damn!

[RougeDawg]

It is time to move Rowdey to 9 spot. He will get more pitches to hit with Mangum behind him and hopefully get out of his funk. 9 hole is perfect in our lineup to get out of the slump.

Ballgame.

Thanks.

Ballgame. Bad, ugly loss. Mentally weak approach at the plate

[West Tn Dawg]

Well, there's another one! First page of this post, I said we have a habit of making an average pitcher look like an AA. Well we doing it again!

[BeardoMSU]

We are ****ing clown shoes...

[MarketingBully]

Ballgame.

Yep, and we have Foscue Allen and Skelton for the ninth. They look like they are just going through the motions. Shit effort by everyone including Plumlee who threw the damn ball into the dugout inexplicably. Just complete shit sandwhich.

[CadaverDawg]

3 hits given up....THREE! And we're going to lose. You can't make this shit up.

no clue why he is in the 3 hole.

On the most dipshit error a player can make...I can't believe it.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

It really is embarrassing the lack of adjustments at the plate. No matter how many pop ups we hit vs the starter, we still jumped on everything and almost every batter was trying to hit a HR instead of settling for the single. That's why we had so many deep pop ups, swinging for the fenses

Dude, you're insane to call out Plumlee. He gave up 2 runs, we should win every single time we give up only 2 runs. Plumlee did outstanding

I can. It's why being a State fan is torture

[Lord McBuckethead]

Those were unearned earned runs. No shit.

That's what I said, Plumlee MIGHT have done a dumb thing that the ump still shouldn't have called even then. I'm not sure we hadn't already called time either. 2 unearned runs in 6 IP is as good as wed expect Ginn to do

they said due to the events on campus this weekend, only using 2 cameras. LOL, of all teams, MSU probably has the most fans that would watch their broadcast. Pitiful job UT.

Agree

[mparkerfd20]

Our offense is offensive the last 6 or so games

[Saltydog]

Hate to say it folks but we've got some fatal flaws. This team is not built for an extended post season run. We're just not. We don't have enough depth in the starting rotation or in the backend of the bp and we're not good defensively. Offensively, we feast on bad pitching and seem to struggle against quality arms and we're very impatient at the plate. We've scored a grand total of 14 runs in our last four SEC games (including today, assuming the score stays the same).

[99jc]

This will be a bad loss. No excuses we just stunk it up hitting. That being said we will win tomorrow.

[The Federalist Engineer]

On the bright side- love how Auburn and their sex offender coach got eliminated today

Choked like champs

[HoopsDawg]

damn it, 3-1 pitch Foscue. We need a baserunner.
