Governor's Cup game thread......

[Saltydog]

Can't believe no thread and the game is in the 5th. Interest in baseball seems to be way down since this past weekend's disaster against the Pigs.

[Turfdawg67]

No, just the whining bitches have abandoned ship. The rest of us that don't melt over every 17'n pitch are still around. FYI...

[Dawg2003]

Rowdey hit a HR. Everyone else looks like crap at the plate.

Ha! The guy everyone wanted benched earlier is now carrying the team. Love it!!

[Dawgcap]

Niiiicceee!! 1-1

[Dawg2003]

Oh god, Keegan James

[HoopsDawg]

Oh god, Keegan James

He's got great stuff, just struggles with walks. Inning should be over but we had an error at 3rd.

[Saltydog]

Damnit, I thought you had blocked me......Would be appreciated if you could...?..Thanks in advance.....

[Turfdawg67]

Who the hell knows who you were replying to, guess it's a little over your head hitting the "reply with quote" button. If it was me you were replying to, nah, I've only blocked one d-bag... and you are nowhere near 7's caliber. Start by posting 52 times a day! LOL!

[Irondawg]

This teams long term success is going to mostly be determined by whether James and Plumlee can start showing some consistency.

I know last weekend was bad but I think we are fine offensively for the most part. I’d like to see us work counts more but it’s pretty clear we are encouraging an aggressive approach at the plate. Has it upsides and downsides

He cannot post without referring to me. Pretty sure I'll end up having to get a restraining order

Very accurate assessment.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The fact that this game cannot be watched is absolute horseshit

I hate not being able to watch it but I do get a kick out of our experts giving opinions based off a radio broadcast. And make no mistake there are a few

Got a chance to blow this thing open

[Dawgcap]

4-1 good guys. Gets quiet when we are winning

[KOdawg1]

Beating the shit out of Ole Miss makes me feel better. 5-1

[Dawgcap]

Still quiet. Wonder where the noise went when we started winning.

[KOdawg1]

EL OH EL. gthom

[KOdawg1]

Still quiet. Wonder where the noise went when we started winning.

Part of it is the game isn't on TV so less are watching. Enjoy the game and stop bitching about people not bitching.

[Percho]

Have they said anything about attendance?

+1.

[HoopsDawg]

Have they said anything about attendance?

Yes, Trustmark Park Record. Nearly 9K. More maroon than red and blue.

[StarkVegasSteve]

New Trustmark Park record 8,638

[MarketingBully]

Have they said anything about attendance?

A record at the park 8600+. Glad we got back to hitting! 7-1 good guys feels good man!

I’m enjoying but the people bitching shut up when we got a lead.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If we played ole miss in hopscotch and won I would celebrate. I love beating ole miss so much it makes me giddy

[Commercecomet24]

Nice response by the team so far.

[Dawg2003]

I think there is something to the idea we get in their heads in baseball.

[KOdawg1]

Man on 3rd with no outs and we couldn't drive him in. We're up by 6 so obviously, I'm getting greedy, but it would've been nice to get that 8th run. Still, 7-1 good guys, going to the B7

[BeardoMSU]

I think there is something to the idea we get in their heads in baseball.

And tonight was without Jake's bat, which has been the main culprit in their demise the past 4 years. We showed up. This is a great rebound considered last weekend.

[DownwardDawg]

Still quiet. Wonder where the noise went when we started winning.

Why is it quite? We should have more fans there. We are The baseball program in this state. Always have been.

[BeardoMSU]

/sigh...

almost a clean inning

[BeardoMSU]

Tanner cleans it up. Going to the 8th still up 7-1.

[Homedawg]

Jake has scored two runs.....

[BuckyIsAB****]

I just wanted to see us compete and we did that. We couldve acted like babies again and folded after the slow start but we hung in and battled like we usually do.

[BeardoMSU]

Jake has scored two runs.....

Ah, my bad. He only has 1 hit, though right?

[BuckyIsAB****]

8-1 Mangum almost hit it out put its a sac fly

Wrong... you losers just left. Kma

Ouch

[Turfdawg67]

A record at the park 8600+. Glad we got back to hitting! 7-1 good guys feels good man!

Gee... guess they decided to appease the fans and hit. I'm 100% positive they weren't trying at Arky...

[Turfdawg67]

I?m enjoying but the people bitching shut up when we got a lead.

So true... but they'll be back.

[Dawgcap]

So true... but they'll be back.

They will be back bottom of 1st against Georgia. The thing is we all have the negative emotions during a game or season but I don’t get the disparaging remarks about players and coaches on a message board. These guys would embarrass us with their skills and if some don’t believe it then shut up and show me your resume. It’s ok and great to get frustrated but our players and coaches are way more invested than we are with a lot more to lose. But I guess to some bitching makes them bigger fans on a message board

[CadaverDawg]

HAILSTATE! GTHOM!

[KOdawg1]

Wrong... you losers just left. Kma

Dude, wtf are you talking about? I wasn't bitching in the thread to begin with. Get over yourself dipshit.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Whats the 17n score?

[KOdawg1]

Whats the 17n score?

We won 8-1. Sorry it got cluttered with people complaining that people aren't complaining.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ballgame 8-1.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look bitches, shit happens. Grow a 17n pair and stop being pussies.

[Commercecomet24]

Great to get back on track by kicking the crap out of unm!

[BuckyIsAB****]

I will sleep like a baby tonight boys

[Dawgcap]

Speaking out of line and I apologize but the bitching started in the Mangum thread. Once everyone moved to this thread it got to be less complaining. Now I will say I have been told to deal with negativity in game threads , the complainers got quiet when we started winning. Look I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I never understand the intense disrespect of players and coaches. We all get frustrated but to shit on any of these guys , that would embarrass us on this stage, is embarrassing. Yep I get pissed but I hope to not shit on them every play and I think tonight some expressed their opinions. I don’t think any views were pointed at you specifically

[CadaverDawg]

Amen

Okay, well I haven't even looked at the Mangum thread yet, so that explains why I have no idea what ya'll were talking about. Either way, I wasn't bashing any of our players or coaches in any thread, so not sure why Turf called me out, but oh well. Honestly, I don't give two shits because we just beat the hell out of Ole Miss and it's always a good day when that happens.

[HoopsDawg]

8 runs on just 7 hits. 5 walks plus OM errors helped the cause. And we got a timely hit or two.

Great job by the pitchers. Overcame 3 defensive mistakes. Pitched our best 5 after small and ginn.

DH spot went 0-4. It's time for more Hayden Jones.

Amen! Gotta believe when it’s not smart!! Ha Part of being a State fan and yes the disappointment may be upcoming but I still have tomorrow. Never quit believing though

I agree. Hatcher had an awful K with the bases juiced and Cumbest needs a break he is struggling.

DH is hobbled. And not to be a smart add but weren’t many saying we won last year because of Gautreau.

[Randolph Dupree]

Ended up scoring some incredible seats and passes for the game and got to see a lot of it up close (only the players and ump had better views of most plays). A couple of observations from the game:

1. Mac was hobbled a little bit didn't appear to be badly...not sure what that's about. ( I didn't ask, but if someone knows I'm curious)

2. Plumlee was ON, especially early. Best part was I had my son with me, and Plumlee was popping the mitt at 90-91mph...my kid was mesmerized haha. It was a fun experience for both of us.

3. Our team was into the game tonight. They weren't tight, but were focused. Both pitchers were on early, that's why it took us a while to get going.

4. Our guys look more athletic than UM's. If that was the #1 recruiting class at some point, either the initial evaluations were poor or UM is doing a terrible job developing folks. Every one of our guys look like baseball players. Several of their guys looked like guys that play baseball...

That concludes this episode of "Deep Thoughts With Dupree"

[MarketingBully]

Great win tonight! Definitely played better then we did last weekend. If we can take 2/3 this weekend, we can take some sting out of being swept to the pigs. If we go 2/3 this weekend our record will be 35-10 which isn’t too bad. I did melt way too much last weekend but we don’t need to play like we did against Arkansas again this year period.

I thought our guys also looked more athletic and in shape than their guys. Rolison was the big prize of that class and he's with the Rockies now. Kessinger looked impressive to me but I think he's utility infielder in the big leagues. We didn't see Carracci or Ethridge tonight. At any rate- that class was overrated and they missed their window last year. They haven't really been able to add to it.

[Jarius]

DH is hobbled. And not to be a smart add but weren’t many saying we won last year because of Gautreau.

We have one of the best hitting teams in the conference. His praise is warranted. Just because one spot in the order is not hitting extremely well right this second does not change the overall work he has done with these hitters.

Thomas Dillard has the Freddy Kitchens body...looks like a U of Oklahoma butch Softball player

There's a reason why MLB sees him as a DH/catcher. I think he ends up coming back for his senior year.
