Oh Canada: Eastern Michigan Game-2 Thread

[The Federalist Engineer]

Eric Cerantola takes the hill.

I bet he watched his makes fill the zone and maul these Michigan boys and he?s going to do it too

By the way, I hate this streak now. Rather Just Win Baby

[HoopsDawg]

I don't really understand this move by Lemonis. Even if EC shuts them down today, I don't want him starting next Saturday vs LSU.

[99jc]

He is hoping that Eric starts clicking with his control if he doesn't find it today he will get a quick hook and no start against LSWHO.

[Cowbell]

You question this staff almost every game when they continue to show you they know. This is a great team to build some confidence on.

[HoopsDawg]

Normal year, I totally get it. This year, with 24 pitchers, and guys like Bednar ready to start, I don't get it.

[HoopsDawg]

Absolutely false statement.

Lemonis has 2 things he's got to get right: Our starting weekend rotation and who plays LF. Everything else is set. I'm glad to see Cumbest draw the start today.

[msstate7]

I don't have a problem with it. We should be thinking about who gives us the best chance to get to omaha. I'm fine with being patient, for now

[parabrave]

And Cert off to an auspicious start.

[Cloak]

This is probably Cerantola's last chance. Really hope he does well today.

Started out a little rough, but infield has his back.

[Cloak]

Ah man. You can tell by his body language he's really frustrated. Feel bad for the guy

[Bdawg]

Ha. He mauled a couple the first inning. Maybe he settles down since he got through the first. Not many pitches too.

[skadoosh14]

I know I shouldn't care about this streak, but I really do, and I get terrified every time Cerantola walks out to the mound.

[skadoosh14]

When he's good he's really good.

[VandelayIndustries]

I know I shouldn't care about this streak, but I really do, and I get terrified every time Cerantola walks out to the mound.

Looks good so far

[redstickdawg]

I think that he threw 3 balls that inning, looked really in control.

[OLJWales]

Cumbest 'bout to go Yard

[BayouDawg]

Eric has some great stuff. It would be great if his switch flips like Dakota Hudson and Chris Stratton

[OLJWales]

shit. I Like Cumbest, wanna see him do well

[TNDawg35]

We try to pull way too Many balls instead of going the other way with them...

[skadoosh14]

And when he's bad he's really bad

[TNDawg35]

There goes the streak... 39 1/3...

[The Federalist Engineer]

shit. I Like Cumbest, wanna see him do well

Would be nice if became Bo Jackson or Frank Thomas for us. I?m not asking for much, just Hall of Fame

[OLJWales]

well I'll be damned

[The Federalist Engineer]

There goes the streak... 39 1/3...

Had to end, now let’s score some runs

[HoopsDawg]

Hopefully we bring in Bednar and get him 3 innings so he will be ready to start next Saturday.

[OLJWales]

Would be nice if became Bo Jackson or Frank Thomas for us. I?m not asking for much, just Hall of Fame

that's what I've been hoping for ever since we started crootin' him.

[OLJWales]

It's cool having Polk on the radio. I rekon it's 'bout time to bury the hatchet.

[Rex54]

I've seen many a middle school umpire with better understanding of the strike zone

[skadoosh14]

Kamren James is a fkn stud

[Cowbell]

It's cool having Polk on the radio. I rekon it's 'bout time to bury the hatchet.

I am learning so much from listening to him

[OLJWales]

I am learning so much from listening to him

you can't take his knowledge of the game for granted. you just can't.

[OLJWales]

we are about tp blast their asses wide open. sit back and watch.

[HoopsDawg]

Let's see if we can break up the no-hitter.

[OLJWales]

Cumbest goin' yard

[OLJWales]

we 'bout to bend some ass over

[OLJWales]

Son. Of. A. Bitch.

[TNDawg35]

Weak ass grounder after weak ass grounder...

[HoopsDawg]

Weak ass grounder after weak ass grounder...

Is Polk coming to practices and still coaching that A to C swing?

[OLJWales]

EC's pitch count showed a good strike / pitch ratio. Does this guy just need to have more confidence in himself against stiffer competition?

[maroonmania]

Weak ass grounder after weak ass grounder...

Yep, there is apparently no team so bad that we can't manage to still struggle with them.

[BayouDawg]

So cerentola finally has a good showing and now our offense is MIA. That sounds about right

[OLJWales]

delete

[OLJWales]

Good Job. Out of it. I really respect yankees / college baseball. tough assed SOB's.

[maroonmania]

Unreal we can't even get a hit off this dude.

[BeardoMSU]

So cerentola finally has a good showing and now our offense is MIA. That sounds about right

Truth, lol.

[BayouDawg]

Unreal we can't even get a hit off this dude.

And not even working the count. Hitting coach needs to get their attention.

[OLJWales]

So cerentola finally has a good showing and now our offense is MIA. That sounds about right

I'm thinking Cerentola needs more confidence when facing tougher competition. He showed today he knows how to hit the zone.

[OLJWales]

IRE PITCHIN'S SICK

[State82]

I do not care how stout the pitching staff is, this complete ineptness at the plate is going to bite us in SEC play. No way around it.

[OLJWales]

come on Cumbest

[OLJWales]

that just hurt me; bad

[smootness]

This is on us and our bats, and it's a problem.

This ump is garbage.

Both things are true today.

[maroonmania]

This guy is on pace to shut us out in less than 100 pitches. Didn't know EMU had a first round MLB prospect.

[Activated Alpha]

that just hurt me; bad

Yeah even though we are down just 1, if feels like 10 at this point. I know we?ve come back before, but that was probably game right there. They used like 8 pitchers last night and only used one today. Like what the hell?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Is Hatcher hitting well enough to bench Kellum Clark?

Rather let big Kellum k and make soft contact as an investment

Seems wrong to have a Mendoza corner infielder that is not even a plus defender

[maroonmania]

Apparently we are just going to totally suck every Saturday.

[OLJWales]

Yeah even though we are down just 1, if feels like 10 at this point. I know we?ve come back before, but that was probably game right there. They used like 8 pitchers last night and only used one today. Like what the hell?

No way it was game but it sucked hard for me because I just had that feeling I don't always get while listening to baseball and I just "had that feeling" that Cumbest was gonna score. struck me in the nuts him taking strike 3. Do we do that too many times?

[Dawgcap]

Rally bottom 8. Their pitcher has hit every spot all day. Can?t discount that. He has changed speeds and located. Has our batters with weak swings. He?s fixing to miss and we are gonna pounce

[OLJWales]

good radio piece there

[maroonmania]

Last 3 hitters all go to an 0-2 count.

[OLJWales]

Well Just Shit on a Biscuit .

[smootness]

This dude is just pumping them in the zone.

[Dawgcap]

He has been nasty! Hit every spot all day

[OLJWales]

come on Rowdy

[OLJWales]

Fornicate

[BayouDawg]

This is frustrating

[99jc]

1 17ing hit is ridiculous bunch of ***** hitters.

[maroonmania]

I am really concerned about our offense going into SEC play. Just pretty good pitching seems to totally neutralize our bats.

[OLJWales]

WE ARE ABOUT TO WIN.

[99jc]

WE ARE ABOUT TO WIN.

i doubt it but hope your right ....still no excuse to hit like this were not facing nolen ryan here.

[maroonmania]

Well, good start.

Hancock has balls of steel

well.....kiss my ass!

[Dawgcap]

Let?s finish this!! But damn what a pitching effort by that young man! Wow

[BayouDawg]

Walk it off

[The Federalist Engineer]

Welp

That’s baseball

[BeardoMSU]

We're probably the only team in the SEC that needed a walk-off to win in the 9th. Damn, we suck.**

[Commercecomet24]

This team has some stones!

[TNDawg35]

**** I love baseball...

[OLJWales]

**** I love baseball...

There's just nothing like it in sports. 3rd walk off for us this year already. Lemonis bullshitting with Polk on the radio. I have an erection.

[BuckyIsAB****]

We may have one of the best cultures in the country. They are never out of it.

Dare I say we are starting to become like LSU used to be just finding a way

[BeardoMSU]

Kim Mulkey is involved somehow.

[Jack Lambert]

Glad we won but we have to stop winning it in the 9th. For my well being.

[Fader21]

You're Welcome guys. After watching the whole game I turned it off before the bottom of the ninth. Was too pissed to watch us lose.

[BeardoMSU]

Glad we won but we have to stop winning it in the 9th. For my well being.

It's entertaining, though. It's the boxing equivalent of the last inning KO right before the bell. You get your money's worth, for sure, lol.

[The Federalist Engineer]

That’s random, wtf

I’m thinking about French girls after WW2 being prosecuted for “dating” Nazis

Ole Miss just walked off UL Monroe in the bottom of the 9th

It was a joke, lol.

Meant to be similar in tone as to a frantic-female-like thread the other day saying something about how "we're the only SEC team to do blah blah".

[Activated Alpha]

As a husband to a frantic-female wife, I take offense!!*****

[R2Dawg]

You're Welcome guys. After watching the whole game I turned it off before the bottom of the ninth. Was too pissed to watch us lose.

Funny, I did the opposite. I was working outside all day, watching the score and came in at the 8th inning to watch us come back and win. I expected us the make the dramatic comeback especially only down one run. I just don't doubt this team or program in these situations.

Hate we broke the run streak but it was about to be a major distraction so probably good in a way we got that behind us.

[maroonmania]

It's entertaining, though. It's the boxing equivalent of the last inning KO right before the bell. You get your money's worth, for sure, lol.

Yea, its entertaining and exciting, but being blountly honest, I would feel much better about our team if we were walking off a Top 20 SEC team rather than Tulane or especially an Eastern Michigan. Still quite uneasy about our ability to hit above average SEC pitching. Guess we will find out starting next weekend.

[Mjoelner34]

Hate we broke the run streak but it was about to be a major distraction so probably good in a way we got that behind us.

I'm fine with the way the streak was broken too. Today I was full-on expecting back to back walks, a wild pitch then a sac fly to break the streak in the 1st inning.

[Dawgcap]

Y?all I understand that this wasn?t an SEC team but the way they pitched it today they were. It?s frustrating seeing people upset from 1 game to next much less 1 inning to next. Baseball is not a sport with definitive answers and there will never be.

Yep - when half our league is down at some point to their inferior opponents as well.

[basedog]

I went to the game today, I was very impressed with the Eastern pitcher. He was a Friday night Sec starter, had electric stuff.
We are gonna be up and down with hitting, no doubt out staff is solid. Looks like our middle infielders are also solid.
Nice crowd today amd always much easier watching a game live than on TV. I was never worried*

Coach Polk said the EMU pitcher was outstanding and his two seamer was fierce ... you had to take the strike or ground out

Maybe we tell the kid to come back to MSU for Fall ball (I’m saying this, not polk)

[Dawgcap]

Meis for Eastern Michigan was phenomenal. I have to say that young man didn?t miss his spot all day. Change of speed, location were so impressive. But we battled

[Saltydog]

We're probably the only team in the SEC that needed a walk-off to win in the 9th. Damn, we suck.**

LSU scores 3 in the bottom of the 10th to tie up
UTSA 7-7....

[KOdawg1]

LSU scores 3 in the bottom of the 10th to tie up
UTSA 7-7....

Next week, we need to do whatever it takes to get into LSU's bullpen. They're not good.

I'm glad we get them early. They're a talented team, but they haven't figured themselves out yet.

[BeardoMSU]

UTSA up 9-7 Bot 12.

[KOdawg1]

Wow. 9-9. Headed to the 13th.

[Todd4State]

EC's pitch count showed a good strike / pitch ratio. Does this guy just need to have more confidence in himself against stiffer competition?

Or maybe someone had a come to Jesus about pounding the strike zone. Him and MaCleoud. Well find out against LSU next week I guess.

Polk said that EC was mostly 93 yesterday, almost none at 97/98

Jim said, the Eastern homerun was on a 97 mph pitch

[Todd4State]

Yeah that's a good point. A lot of times guys have to sacrifice velocity for command.
