Eastern Michigan vs MSU Game Thread

[The Federalist Engineer]

MacLeod on the bump

[skadoosh14]

MacLeod strikes out the side. Not looking bad today.

[skadoosh14]

6 straight strikeouts for MacLeod. He's looking really good.

[HoopsDawg]

6 straight strikeouts for MacLeod. He's looking really good.

Yeah, this team can't hit at all, but it's good to see him command the zone.

[Cowbell]

Yeah, this team can't hit at all, but it's good to see him command the zone.
Yeah we just scored a run on a guy that hasn't given up a run all year (2 starts)

[skadoosh14]

9 up 9 down. MacLeod is rolling.

[RocketDawg]

The picture quality is much improved. Not nearly as dark as earlier in the season.

[RocketDawg]

What's the belt buckle gizmo on E. Michigan #7?

[skadoosh14]

The boys are looking really solid right now. Love this new lineup, too. I know it's a below average opponent, but we're looking really good.

[skadoosh14]

Fantastic play by Hatcher at 1st

[skadoosh14]

Fist walk by MacLeod. Runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs.

[skadoosh14]

Mississippi State just set a new program record for scoreless innings with 30. Previous record was 30 (1976 team).

The best thing about this run is the number of pitchers involved

100%. We have the best bullpen in the country.

Might as well go for another shutout.

[skadoosh14]

Brandon Smith on the mound to start the 6th. Fantastic night from MacLeod.

[BiscuitEater]

Fantastic way to start a weekend series and lead by example. That was a plus Friday start!

Brandon Smith with SO inning streak still alive

[Homedawg]

Landon not present best I can tell.... just FYI.

[Activated Alpha]

Landon not present best I can tell.... just FYI.

I was just about to ask that when I saw garner come to bat. Hope it?s just him clearing his head

[skadoosh14]

Riley Self starting the 7th :confused:

[skadoosh14]

Self gets us another inning without a run. Great locker room guy for our team, but I'd really like to see someone else next inning for the sake of the streak.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I got nothing to bitch about, seems wrong, this is a message board

[HoopsDawg]

That breaking ball from Stinnett is dirty.

[HoopsDawg]

Stinnett has closer written all over him.

[mparkerfd20]

Stinnett is filthy

[HoopsDawg]

Good night that was dirty. His slider is 86. His fastball was 96. Eastern had no chance.

[Activated Alpha]

Stinnett has closer written all over him.

Holy shite with the speed of his fastball and his breaking ball is absolute filth. Dude just needs Thunderstruck as his bullpen song with his hair and the dude would light up hah

[starkvegasdawg]

18k's through 8 innings with multiple pitchers. That is just sheer dominance.

[HoopsDawg]

Uh oh, Skinner able to bat, draws a walk. Kyte with yet another double, his 3rd in 4 AB's and Cumbest got another hit. We are going to have some options in LF now. I think McGowan may be in trouble.

[Activated Alpha]

That was a very brief appearance for Skinner. A walk then just blazed from first to home with the double from McDonald. Like saw him for all 10 seconds

[West Tn Dawg]

When was the last time we had 4 shutouts in a row? If ever?

[HoopsDawg]

He can cover some ground in CF.

[skadoosh14]

It's never happened. Previous record was 30 innings. We broke that tonight.

[Cowbell]

When was the last time we had 4 shutouts in a row? If ever?

30 innings was the record so never

[OLJWales]

Why does it feel like we are fornicating everyone we face in the buttocks? And has anyone asked Polk about his mic breathing?

[OLJWales]

The radio ads suck ass; the next thing they'll be advising me on is what hand to jerk off with and how to wash with soap.

[R2Dawg]

And the streak continues. Our pitching is just sick. If we get any hitting, we can take the prize this year.

[Cowbell]

Well 6 days ago half this board was losing their minds and one guy even doubted Lemonis as a head coach. Good times lol

[West Tn Dawg]

They just said it was 1909! Thats a LONG time!

[DownwardDawg]

Lol, I said it then, I get a kick out of early season baseball threads. They're always hilarious.

[OLJWales]

Can we identify our pitching as "Sick" yet?; We are about to win a Natty Bitches. This team is FO Realz!!!

What gives me hope is seeing all these young pitchers and the young guys that we have batting over 500 to start their careers right now. We are loaded for a few years.

Landon Jordan no longer on team per Lemonis

[HoopsDawg]

I will say it's ridiculous we are playing Eastern Michigan.

[BeardoMSU]

Landon Jordan no longer on team per Lemonis

Bye, I guess.

[maroonmania]

Landon Jordan no longer on team per Lemonis

Pretty ridiculous that he wouldn't finish the year and then leave. What is the purpose of quitting now?

[HoopsDawg]

I totally understand him being pissed off, but it really does no good to quit now.

[smootness]

Why?

[HoopsDawg]

Why?

b/c we are msstate baseball. this isn't mstate football. we shouldn't be playing a weekend series against a team that is going to be in the 200's RPI wise. Arkansas is playing La Tech this weekend. That's a fun, competitive matchup that helps your team grow and helps your RPI.

I am glad we were able to get Kent State in last weekend. What would have been ridiculous would have been playing Tennessee Tech one weekend and Eastern Michigan the next.

Yes, that was lucky and awful scheduling. Not to mention 6 games against SWAC teams. Fortunately we canceled one of those.

I read somewhere that by quitting right now he retains a year of eligibility. Could be wrong, though.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Exactly. That was pretty much a perfect baseball game.

Dudy Noble effect.

Scott Weatherbee is their AD (Use to be Associate AD here) and set this series up when he got up there.

Wanted his baseball team to experience Dudy Noble.

And before La Tech, they played 2 series against SE Missouri St and Murray St.

Florida is playing Jacksonville after already playing series against N. Florida and Florida A&M.

This is what teams do. We've played as solid a schedule as anybody to this point, it's fine to get Eastern Michigan before SEC play as a chance to build some confidence. Yes, it's good we replaced TN Tech with Kent St, but we're just fine.

[R2Dawg]

Confused? Sick as in sick good. Like we are bad news but that is good.

[basedog]

Regardless of the competition, what an amazing scoreless inning record. Man I would not want to be the pitcher who ends the streak.....especially someone coming off an injury, LOL!

We'll just agree to disagree.

[smootness]

It's fair to say you think we should always play better competition. It's not correct to say the other top SEC teams aren't doing this. After this weekend, we will still have played a tougher schedule than most.

Hold up there a minute grasshopper, at least wait until after the LSU series.

[Jack Lambert]

I think I heard Jim say they only have 11 pitchers. We have like 24 to 27. Sunday maybe we should loan them a pitcher or two. Let them get some playing time.******

[ZedFedder]

How hard was Parker Stinnett throwing? Didn’t get to watch.

96. With a filthy hammer. His stuff is legit.

We play in the sec... And started the season with a super hard tournament. Our rpi is not a concern as long as we win.

That's not really the point. If we win yes our RPI will be good, but not as good as it could have been. Also, this is just not good competition. Iron sharpens iron and lets you know what you need to work on. We get very little out of playing a series like this. It's chickenshit imo. But reasonable people can disagree.

Puh LEEZE

[smootness]

You brought up Arkansas...who is playing only a decent opponent...who is way better than their last 2 series, which are both similar to Eastern Michigan.
