Watch State vs Dirtbags

[PKADogs55]

If you go to longbeachstate.com, go to the sports page, then baseball. Under upcoming events, click our game, and there appears to be a Watch option (Called Beach Vision).

[Cloak]

https://bigwest.org/watch/default.aspx?Live=2783&path=long_beach

That link brings you right to the stream. Works on mobile.

[confucius say]

And the lbsu baseball twitter account tweets out the link to the stream before the game.

I am not sure if it will be able to be watched on your phone though?? May have to be on a computer.

[ShotgunDawg]

Not feeling good about this weekend.

We aren't playing well & the baseball IQ of these Orange County teams (LBSU, Cal State Fullerton, UC Irvine, JUCOs, etc) is ridiculously high.

They won't challenge our hitters with fast balls like SEC schools will. The West coast teams will breaking ball & command the ball to death at 87-90 mph.

It could get frustrating

[KOdawg1]

Take 2 of 3 this weekend and Tuesday's loss becomes less of a big deal. Maybe warmer weather will warm up the bats. I'm worried about our pitching but that's just going to have to be an every week thing it seems.

[PKADogs55]

I think we are going to be OK this weekend fellas

How is their hitting? If they are a stereotypical small ball West Coast team I could see MacLeoud and Cerentola overpowering them.

Small ball. This field has the heaviest air in the country. Look forward to many long pop ups like At Tennessee last year

[Harrydawg]

Landon Leggett at DH......he has shown nothing but being out matched season to date. Nothing

[HoopsDawg]

Landon Leggett at DH......he has shown nothing but being out matched season to date. Nothing

Tanner Leggett, but yeah, that's interesting. He must be showing something in practice. In fairness, it's a tough lefty on the mound. And Pimentel and Landon Jordan haven't exactly been on fire. So I guess the only other option would Logan Tanner, but you need him available to catch.

I don't get it either. He seems to be more of a defensive replacement/pinch runner right now. But hey, maybe the coaches know more than me lol

Are Drew McGowan and Bryce Brock right handed hitters? I'd like to see them get a shot if Leggett still doesn't show us anything

[HoopsDawg]

Brock, LH; actually McGowan bats from the left side too, throws from the right side.

You might as well be called DopeyDawg with all your negativity. Knock it off with all those negative waves man, say something righteous and positive for a change. Right now it's 0-0. We got every bit as much of a chance as they do.

[deadheaddawg]

Anyone getting the game? Its still just showing a logo on the feed for me

Edit.

Started as I hit submit

[Percho]

Submit where?

[Cloak]

Edit.

I'm not getting any sound on the feed. Is it just me?

[KOdawg1]

Pretty weak approaches so far. Lazy fly ball and 2 strikeouts. Westy worked a full count walk, but couldn't get anything out of it.

[KOdawg1]

I'm not getting any sound on the feed. Is it just me?

Trust me. You don't want it.

[Cloak]

Trust me. You don't want it.

Lol. Tried on the computer instead of TV and yeahhhh glad no sound

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not a good play by 3B James there. He should have played the force to 3rd. Let them have an extra run there and eliminated the force. Good strong throw though.

[TNDawg35]

Down 2-0 in the bottom of 1st so far.. Koestler looks like shit...

[The Federalist Engineer]

Koestler can’t be our Friday night. There doesn’t seem to be a KO pitch and even little hitters make great contact.

[TNDawg35]

We have three Ks through 2 innings...

[Lord McBuckethead]

Another inning at the plate where we literally do nothing. Making weekly Cy Young winners on the reg.

[maroonmania]

Down 2-0 in the bottom of 1st so far.. Koestler looks like shit...

And LBSU is not even a good offensive club. Pitching is their strong suit. I'm not even sure Koestler is a weekend rotation guy, much less a Friday night guy.

[KOdawg1]

Koestler had a pretty good inning there. Got a backwards K with a quick pitch

[maroonmania]

3 innings so far for us on offense and ZERO hits.

[TNDawg35]

I think I would let Bednar or Sims start the midweek next wk and try to start getting him ready for a Fri role. I don?t think Keostler is gonna cut it on Friday nights. We have two really good freshman, get one or both ready...

[Lord McBuckethead]

Landon Leggett at DH......he has shown nothing but being out matched season to date. Nothing

He hasn't even sniffed the panties of getting a foul ball yet. Maybe coach is trying to get his feet wet early this season cause we are going to need him latter?

[Lord McBuckethead]

I vote Sims.

[parabrave]

WFCA is carrying the game/

[HoopsDawg]

Not a good play by 3B James there. He should have played the force to 3rd. Let them have an extra run there and eliminated the force. Good strong throw though.

The problem is we had 2 outs. LBSU had runners at 2nd and 3rd. And Koestler fell behind 2-0. Weak hitter on deck, I say put him on. Instead we groove a 2-0 fastball and the guy laces it for 2 runs. Next guy gets out. Play the percentages there. That was on the coaches.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good bottom of the 3rd. Long Beach up 2 going into the 4th.

[Lord McBuckethead]

WFCA is carrying the game/

What is WFCA

[Lord McBuckethead]

Thats true, but James didn't do his part. Wait on the grounder and step on the bag.

[confucius say]

Swing the stick damn it. Drop your nuts and let's go!!!!

[TNDawg35]

We have no.... NO..... MARBLES!!!! WE HAVE NO MARBLES!!!!

[parabrave]

What is WFCA

Radio station in French Camp. They have been carrying State athletics since at least 1990/

Bad part is that may be the only 2 runs LB needs tonight. We are having trouble just getting a hit much less a run.

[confucius say]

At least foscue is competing here.

We are still pulling everything. For the love of man, have an oppo approach and piss on smn. Stop lifting

[Hambone]

We can’t hit. Right now our hits are more of the blind squirrel variety

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nope. We are retarded at the plate. So bad, I switch off the game during the break before we come to bat. By the time I switch back, we are back in the field.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Nope. We are retarded at the plate. So bad, I switch off the game during the break before we come to bat. By the time I switch back, we are back in the field.

We are an anemic 1-2-3 inning team so far. No threat

[KOdawg1]

Koestler has retired 9 straight I believe

[PKADogs55]

Or .. let's just lose to this shit team

[KOdawg1]

Or .. let's just lose to this shit team

Better yet. No-hit

[HoopsDawg]

Koestler has retired 9 straight I believe

He's pitched well. 2 runs were on an error that was ruled a hit, a double play ground ball to James, that he threw to first, and a 2-0 fastball with first base open and two outs.

Should be 0-0.

[PKADogs55]

Cant wait to see SEC play

[maroonmania]

Dang, we swing at everything and never square anything up. 5 innings of being no hit so far.

[HoopsDawg]

Cumbest needs to be an every day player or not play at all. He needs about 300 more live AB's before he can be counted on.

[Hambone]

I really have never see so many soft contact hits in a long time.

[KOdawg1]

Dang, we swing at everything and never square anything up. 5 innings of being no hit so far.

We have to lead the country in soft ground balls

[HoopsDawg]

Cant wait to see SEC play

You know this pitcher and this team is pretty good right?

[The Federalist Engineer]

If we get no hit every Friday, then it doesn’t matter who pitches.

We are making this little lefty look like Kevin Brown

[PKADogs55]

Why the 17 did we not start MC?

[PKADogs55]

You know this pitcher and this team is pretty good right?

Obviously .. making us look great

[MaroonFlounder]

So this team is not near the solid batting lineup we thought.

And the infield defense is good for a costly error or 2 each game.

And the Ace pitcher is on the shelf.

And don't seem to have a leader on this team yet.

This will be a frustrating season.

[KOdawg1]

Koestler has retired 13 straight. If anything, he's saving our bullpen for the next two games.

[PKADogs55]

This guy calling the game .. who sounds like someone stepped on his nut ... just said LBS is out there having fun.

2015 potential. Maybe not as bad, but I'm seeing parallels

[KOdawg1]

I'm convinced they just found a random kid and paid him 50 bucks

[PKADogs55]

There you go Hoops

[KOdawg1]

BASE HIT LEGGETT

WE AIN"T GETTING NO-NOed TONIGHT BOYS

[Liverpooldawg]

I love baseball season. It's a minor sport and I love it when we win, but ain't that fussed if we lose. It's like women's basketball. It's not like it's men's basketball or football, in other words sports that actually matter.

[Captain Falcon]

Eh, it’s a road game against a Top 25 team in February. I wouldn’t write this season’s obituary just yet.

[maroonmania]

Finally a hit! If we would work the count a little bit we might at least eventually get this pitcher out of the game. We swing at anything in the zip code.

[PKADogs55]

If legitt hits ... watch out

[Activated Alpha]

I love baseball season. It's a minor sport and I love it when we win, but ain't that fussed if we lose. It's like women's basketball. It's not like it's men's basketball or football, in other words sports that actually matter.

I vote to have your posting privileges revoked. Immediately.

[maroonmania]

About the 4th strikeout we've had on a ball in the dirt we had no chance to make contact with. Awful.

[HoopsDawg]

I vote to have your posting privileges revoked. Immediately.

seconded

[HoopsDawg]

About the 4th strikeout we've had on a ball in the dirt we had no chance to make contact with. Awful.

He's batting .200 on the year. I wonder how patient we are going to be with him.

[KOdawg1]

Here we go, we got something cooking now. Westy is due for one

[maroonmania]

Rowdey is the first batter we've had to stop swinging at a ball at ankle level or below and gets a walk.

[HoopsDawg]

Time for our 2-3-4 guys to do work.

[Liverpooldawg]

I vote to have your posting privileges revoked. Immediately.

Nationally I'm absolutely correct. Women's basketball and baseball are niche sports. Softball gets better tv ratings than college baseball. If you want to ban me for speaking the truth then by all means do so. My point is I actually enjoy them maybe better than I do football and men's basketball because it doesn't crush me if we lose.

[Liverpooldawg]

seconded

Group think is good I guess.

[KOdawg1]

Time for our 2-3-4 guys to do work.

Two easy outs by two of them to squash it

[HoopsDawg]

Time for our 2-3-4 guys to do work.

damn it.

[maroonmania]

Did the ball Allen hit bang off the pitching rubber? Seemed like it slowed up or something. Thought when he made contact it was going for a hit.

[KOdawg1]

Well even if we lose, we know one thing. These guys can't hit either. 15 straight by Koestler

[Lord McBuckethead]

Not sharp at the plate. 1st hit in the 6th. Literally every hitter behind in the count. Geautreua needs to get after these guys.

[maroonmania]

Well even if we lose, we know one thing. These guys can't hit either. 15 straight by Koestler

Yep, that's why giving them 2 runs in the first was so big. They don't hit much but their team ERA is ridiculously good. You aren't going to score much on them.

[KOdawg1]

Just weak approaches at the plate. Embarrassing

[Cowbell]

Our hitting mirrors some games we had late last year. Someone check Geautreuas phone..

[confucius say]

We are selfish offensively

[maroonmania]

We have no pitch selectivity at the plate. Just swing away at whatever crap comes up there.

[PKADogs55]

Jesus ... win this 17 game!!!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Koestler has retired 13 straight. If anything, he's saving our bullpen for the next two games.

Correct - good performance. He?s done his job today. Gave us a chance

[maroonmania]

I had a really bad feeling about this series. We were already struggling mightily at the plate and then we take a trip all the way to the West Coast to face what is apparently one of the best pitching staffs in all of college.

[confucius say]

Correct - good performance. He?s done his job today. Gave us a chance

Absolutely he did. LBSU can't hit, but koestler did his job.

[KOdawg1]

I had a really bad feeling about this series. We were already struggling mightily at the plate and then we take a trip all the way to the West Coast to face what is apparently one of the best pitching staffs in all of college.

They're not the best pitching staff in college. They're good, but we're making them look better than they are bc we're so mentally weak at the plate

[msstate7]

That'll probably do it

[maroonmania]

Koestler may be done. 1 run on 2 hits so far this inning and only one out with a man on 2nd.

[maroonmania]

They're not the best pitching staff in college. They're good, but we're making them look better than they are bc we're so mentally weak at the plate

They currently have about the best ERA. No, they probably aren't the absolute best but they are very, very good.

[KOdawg1]

That'll probably do it
The second the first runner crossed the plate in the first inning is what did it. We're so bad

[maroonmania]

Why do we pitch Dunlavey in key situations? is he really expected to be one of our best pithers?

[PKADogs55]

Lemonis ..... should have known his Friday guy

[maroonmania]

Well, not only does our hitting suck but our defense sucks too. Throw the ball away on the steal attempt at 3rd base to give them their 4th run.

[maroonmania]

Dunlavey is awful.

[PKADogs55]

Team sucks. . No leadership, coach needs to get his damn staff in order. Just a shit show. Better win 20 games in a 17n row

[msstate7]

The second the first runner crossed the plate in the first inning is what did it. We're so bad

I think we're better offensively than we've performed so far. I think the top of our lineup will produce some runs, but I do worry about the bottom.

[Skydawg1]

Team sucks. . No leadership, coach needs to get his damn staff in order. Just a shit show. Better win 20 games in a 17n rowLSU just beat undefeated Texas (who didn't see that coming?). Be ready next week to be looking up at LSU and Ole Miss in the rankings. Was a fun 2 weeks.

[PKADogs55]

I'm bitching bc I love this team.

[PKADogs55]

Todd!!!! WTF is this team not doing?????

[ShotgunDawg]

Told y'all. Not being negative. Just a tough matchup and location with where our team is right now.

[maroonmania]

STOP SWINGING AT EVERY PITCH IN THE DIRT!!! Jeez, we have NO plate discipline at all.

[Skydawg1]

Told y'all. Not being negative. Just a tough matchup and location with where our team is right now.Our hitters suck. Any decent pitcher shuts them down. Looking at you GAUTREAU.

[PKADogs55]

Why the 17171717 is leggett on this team???

[Skydawg1]

17 it. Trump's on stage finally. Will be much more entertaining.

[maroonmania]

All 3 batters for us strike out in the 8th. What a joke. We wouldn't score off this guy if we played 18 innings.

[MaroonFlounder]

Why the 17171717 is leggett on this team???

He's got the only GD hit in this game, does he not?

[HoopsDawg]

I think we're better offensively than we've performed so far. I think the top of our lineup will produce some runs, but I do worry about the bottom.

I'd be tempted to go with the raw, but more upside guys. Pimentel at 1B. Logan Tanner at C. Even Cumbust in LF. Maybe by the end of the year we will be good.

[PKADogs55]

KK does not need to start again .... least on a Friday

[HoopsDawg]

He's got the only GD hit in this game, does he not?

Yep

[PKADogs55]

He's got the only GD hit in this game, does he not?

1 hit in 10Ks

[HoopsDawg]

KK does not need to start again .... least on a Friday

It's CK and he was not the problem, lol, at all.

[HoopsDawg]

At least we have McCloud tomorrow. And a full pen for the next 2 games.

[KOdawg1]

Jokes on you guys. Joe Moorhead never went to Oregon. He stayed on as our baseball teams offensive coordinator

[PKADogs55]

It's CK and he was not the problem, lol, at all.

Thank you Hoops. CK .. still doesn't need to be a Friday guy

[HoopsDawg]

Thank you Hoops. CK .. still doesn't need to be a Friday guy

He basically gave up 0 ER's thru 6 innings. Thank goodness McCloud wasn't wasted tonight.

[PKADogs55]

He basically gave up 0 ER's thru 6 innings. Thank goodness McCloud wasn't wasted tonight.

So he is the Friday guy?????

[IngomarDawg]

Thank you Hoops. CK .. still doesn't need to be a Friday guy

Imagine watching tonight?s game and thinking any ?Friday guy? could?ve done any better....lol

[PKADogs55]

Imagine watching tonight?s game and thinking any ?Friday guy? could?ve done any better....lol

Imagine having a Friday night guy

[BuckyIsAB****]

Our hitting mirrors some games we had late last year. Someone check Geautreuas phone..

We have been shit on offense for the most part since the SEC tournament. We had some great moments in the supers and regionals but I think that was just special. Other than that we probably K more than anyone in the country. We pray for a walk every time up or we K. Not much in between

[IngomarDawg]

Imagine having a Friday night guy

What more could Hancock from Georgia have done??? What about Ginn? Kumar? If he?s gonna pitch like this every Friday, he could be a Friday night guy on nearly any staff in the country.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Team sucks. . No leadership, coach needs to get his damn staff in order. Just a shit show. Better win 20 games in a 17n row

Id much rather peak later than now. That said we look like dogshit at the plate

[boot]

How many games is Lemonis going to watch us throw away before he changes our approach at the plate? This is hard to watch.

[PKADogs55]

What more could Hancock from Georgia have done??? What about Ginn? Kumar? If he?s gonna pitch like this every Friday, he could be a Friday night guy on nearly any staff in the country.

1 good start GTFO. Give him credit, but you act like he SEC Friday.

[PKADogs55]

Id much rather peak later than now. That said we look like dogshit at the plate

Agree bucky

[IngomarDawg]

1 good start GTFO. Give him credit, but you act like he SEC Friday.

Never once said he should be it week in and week out but he?s given you no reason to think he shouldn?t be. Tough to have your take when he basically dominated the whole game with zero offensive backup.

[CJDAWG85]

How many hits do we have?

[HoopsDawg]

How many hits do we have?

We got 1 hit. Maybe we aren't very good.

[CJDAWG85]

1 ******* hit?

[CJDAWG85]

**** you Joboo!!!

[boot]

Time to completely rearrange this lineup and find a spark. They all looked like hammered shit tonight.

[Zildjan]

How many hits do we have?

According to our media team Wednesday?s pitcher was too slow. I guess this one was too fast? Eventually one can surmise that we suck despite our average exit velocity.

[MaroonFlounder]

The most MSU fan thing tonight is somebody asking why tanner Leggett was in the lineup.

BECAUSE HE HAD THE ONLY GD HIT!

[PKADogs55]

I'm not bitching at any of yall .. Just a hard loss to take. SORRY

[Todd4State]

How many games is Lemonis going to watch us throw away before he changes our approach at the plate? This is hard to watch.

Based on two years ago after the first SEC series.

[HoopsDawg]

Time to completely rearrange this lineup and find a spark. They all looked like hammered shit tonight.

Best I can come up with:

1. Rowdey
2. Westy
3. Allen
4. Foscue

Can't really argue with the top 4.

5. Pimentel, fck it
6. Cumbust, screw it
7. Landon Jordan
8. Logan Tanner
9. Luke Hancock

[Captain Falcon]

Time to completely rearrange this lineup and find a spark. They all looked like hammered shit tonight.

I am less concerned than most about things, but I?m not sure who you move where at this point. When three fourths of your team is hitting .200, you don?t have much choice but to stick with certain guys until they finally start hitting.

[ShotgunDawg]

Our hitters suck. Any decent pitcher shuts them down. Looking at you GAUTREAU.

No they don't. They'll be fine. Long season

[PKADogs55]

The most MSU fan thing tonight is somebody asking why tanner Leggett was in the lineup.

BECAUSE HE HAD THE ONLY GD HIT!

But yet bats 0.125 and strikes out most every time. Granted I he ways he was ripping things left and right

[Homedawg]

Cumbest isn't an everyday player. Raw raw. Pimentel has a chance it's early. Tannner isn't ready to hit either. Hancock can hit hit but give up defense comparatively. Jordan better hitter than James. James way better defensively. Hatcher is an out against lhp. Fact.

[KOdawg1]

1. L. Jordan DH
2. Westburg
3. TA
4. Foscue
5. Pimentel
6. Logan Tanner
7. Hatcher
8. James
9. Rowdy

Idk, can't hurt to try it

[ShotgunDawg]

How many games is Lemonis going to watch us throw away before he changes our approach at the plate? This is hard to watch.

Before the head coach changes the approach of his hitters at the plate?

There are 15 year Major Leaguers that never can change their approach

[Bothrops]

We got butt****ed by that dirtbag pitcher.

[PKADogs55]

The most MSU fan thing tonight is somebody asking why tanner Leggett was in the lineup.

BECAUSE HE HAD THE ONLY GD HIT!

And up until then???

[Homedawg]

Based on two years ago after the first SEC series.

Our core guys have their approach. Foscue and Allen gonna hit. westburg Is gonna be ok. Rowdey too. The tues loss has led them to press more than usual...

[PKADogs55]

Before the head coach changes the approach of his hitters at the plate?

There are 15 year Major Leaguers that never can change their approach

Love you Shot, but they are not on this team.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Our Big 4 are like the Ok 4 and the rest is like five #8 hitters

[HoopsDawg]

not a lot of options. at least Cumbest can add some power and maybe be good toward the end of the year.

[Homedawg]

And up until then???

Its not the fact he hasn't had a hit or got the only one tonight, it's he swings and misses a TON. Obviously he's done better than that in intersquads. I don't like our rh choices. But I don't like him. I'll give him the benefit but the leash is short.

[Dawgcap]

I hate how things are going but I will enjoy when we start playing well and the butchers claimed to have believed all along!

[PKADogs55]

not a lot of options. at least Cumbest can add some power and maybe be good toward the end of the year.

Completely agree

[Homedawg]

1. L. Jordan DH
2. Westburg
3. TA
4. Foscue
5. Pimentel
6. Logan Tanner
7. Hatcher
8. James
9. Rowdy

Idk, can't hurt to try it

No

[Dawgcap]

Yeah no options. Shit team, not enough talent. Really some of y?all goin there already!?!?

[MaroonFlounder]

Its not the fact he hasn't had a hit or got the only one tonight, it's he swings and misses a TON

So did everyone tonight.

[KOdawg1]

No

Wouldn't be the worst line up vs RHP. Would be obliterated vs. LHH

[IngomarDawg]

I'm not bitching at any of yall .. Just a hard loss to take. SORRY
I enjoy the passion! Hail State and maybe we will figure this thing out....hopefully

[MaroonFlounder]

Not one leader on this team, and it shows.

[PKADogs55]

I enjoy the passion! Hail State and maybe we will figure this thing out....hopefully

Absolutely brother

[boot]

Lol, half of these kids are in their first or second year of COLLEGE baseball. It?s ok to have them work on their approach at the plate.

[PKADogs55]

Lol, half of these kids are in their first or second year of COLLEGE baseball. It?s ok to have them work on their approach at the plate.

It is .. 23 new guys. That's a lot

Granted

[Dawgcap]

We had a tough time in each of the last 2 years. I get the passion and frustration but this is a young team that is struggling offensively. Relax for now

[Todd4State]

Our core guys have their approach. Foscue and Allen gonna hit. westburg Is gonna be ok. Rowdey too. The tues loss has led them to press more than usual...

Yeah, not too worried about any of them. Allen has been banged up and that has hurt some. Same with Hancock.

At the same time the coaches are going to have to do something to get them back on track and just relax and hit the ball.

Yeah, not too worried about any of them. Allen has been banged up and that has hurt some. Same with Hancock.

At the same time the coaches are going to have to do something to get them back on track and just relax and hit the ball.

Is it fundamentals, or just a lack of identity? We talk about a lack of leadership .. is this Westys team? Who steps up and takes a hold of this team?

Not worried about our first 4, but crazy not to be worried about our overall lineup. Tons of strikeouts with not much power. Not a good combo.

Right now probably more lack of fundamentals from guys trying to do too much. Yes we need some team leaders to step up but what about the coaches? They need to step up too. They can't just sit back and hope that there is a Mangum in every group that will straighten everyone out.

I'd rather see somebody hit one in the gap with runners on base than anyone giving a speech.

Chicken or the egg. Lemonis told them to use the whole field after Alcorn. No one did last night. Use the whole field you get more gap shots. But the players have to do what they are told and Lemonis has to find a way to get them to do it.
