[BeardoMSU]

I like the lineup....

[99jc]

we really need to sweep

[basedog]

we really need to sweep

I’d be happy winning two.

[State82]

I can't see a sweep but two is almost imperative.

[KOdawg1]

Find you a woman that loves you like our baseball team loves hitting ground balls

[99jc]

tanner 17d that up swinging at ball 3

[skadoosh14]

2 hits in the first inning. Need to start hitting with runners in scoring position, though.

[Cooterpoot]

The 100th DP of the year kills us again

[KOdawg1]

Our defense is atrocious.

[99jc]

unreal shitty fielding routine play.

[Percho]

tanner 17d that up swinging at ball 3

That was my thoughts also. Man on first and 2-0 and swing at a ball out of the strike zone.

[99jc]

whats are ranking fielding % sec

[KOdawg1]

At least we're making harder contact

[msstate7]

Thought the 2-2 pitch was a strike, but good PA anyway

[Rex54]

Good use of small ball there. Gotta think if we can get 1-2 run lead here it'll be tough to overcome with Mac on the hill.

[99jc]

dang allen come on

[skadoosh14]

That little wave from Logan Tanner after throwing out the runner is my new favorite thing in the world

[KOdawg1]

You've got to be really fast or just stupid to steal on Logan Tanner

[Rex54]

Really bad AB's all around that frame.

[Really Clark?]

6 freaking pitches...that was horrible

[99jc]

we are just weak ass hitting team no sense getting pissed every inning but i do.

[Rex54]

Strike 2 to Hatcher was 8 inches away.

[BeardoMSU]

I'm so full of crow from last week, it's been tough keeping my eyes open to even watch the game. I'm sure we're cleanin' it up though.**

[Commercecomet24]

I'm so full of crow from last week, it's been tough keeping my eyes open to even watch the game. I'm sure we're cleanin' it up though.**

Rep given!

[BeardoMSU]

Strike 2 to Hatcher was 8 inches away.

It's called baseball, puddin. This isn't a conspiracy against your boy.

[KOdawg1]

Whew Forsythe is clueless with the bat.

[Rex54]

It's called baseball, puddin. This isn't a conspiracy against your boy.

Let me guess, you're watching Iron Man 2 or Black Panther?

[BeardoMSU]

Whew Forsythe is clueless with the bat.

He's been pretty awful. Another gaping hole in the lineup. I'd honestly rather move Skinner to 9th, though I do see the reasoning behind splitting Lane and Leggett.

[Saltydog]

Well, once again our pitchers have little room for error. So hard to pitch knowing you've almost got to be perfect.

[BeardoMSU]

That was smoked, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

Good squeezing away the K, Ump. ****. You.

[KOdawg1]

He's been pretty awful. Another gaping hole in the lineup. I'd honestly rather move Skinner to 9th, though I do see the reasoning behind splitting Lane and Leggett.

Yeah, 6-9 in our lineup (outside of Skinner) is giving us nothing.

[Really Clark?]

He's been pretty awful. Another gaping hole in the lineup. I'd honestly rather move Skinner to 9th, though I do see the reasoning behind splitting Lane and Leggett.

Eh, it’s just too many K’s but he is hitting .276 right now and .250 vs SEC pitching prior to tonight. Honestly that is a little better than many thought so far when he was put in at SS.

[KOdawg1]

MacLeod is a very good pitcher.

He's not on the same stratosphere as some of the Friday guys in this league though.

[Really Clark?]

Good lord

[Saltydog]

I'm sorry but Mac isn't a first rounder or second or even third. He's not even the best starter we have. He just doesn't have enough zip on the fastball and gives up WAY too many HR's. What's that now, 9 on the year?

[skadoosh14]

McLeod doesn't give up many hits, but when he does THEY'RE ALWAYS FKN HOME RUNS.

[Activated Alpha]

That one was absolutely crush. Sigh, now it's all on our offense. Need to go calm him down.

[KOdawg1]

BOOM. Just like that, we're back in front

[Really Clark?]

Boom!! Allen!!

[Rex54]

Goodbye!! Bats waking up

4-2

[KOdawg1]

BOOOOOOOMM

[SaintDawg]

That did not look like a HR, but I'll take it!

[BayouDawg]

Great oppo power by TA and then James smashes!

[Really Clark?]

Yes baby!!

[SaintDawg]

back to back son!

[Activated Alpha]

There we go. Now that's what I'm talking about

[BeardoMSU]

Haha! Back to back!

[BeardoMSU]

Tanner's HR looked like a shallow popout off the bat, lol.

[Coach34]

Just a reminder that Hatcher is 1-6 this week so far on his "breakout week" according to Rex

[KOdawg1]

Just a reminder that Hatcher is 1-6 this week so far on his "breakout week" according to Rex

Watch the games. His exit velo is outstanding. Moron**

[Homedawg]

For the shift never works people. Take that

[Homedawg]

Watch the games. His exit velo is outstanding. Moron**

Hahaha. Well done.

[BeardoMSU]

Watch the games. His exit velo is outstanding. Moron**

He's swinging throw those pitches in the dirt with such conviction, dipshits!**

[Saltydog]

We need to chase Greenhill right here. Need to get into that bullpen.

[BeardoMSU]

Just a reminder that Hatcher is 1-6 this week so far on his "breakout week" according to Rex

Yep. I was expecting a smorgasbord of crow, a "buffet" if you will....if it's a buffet, it's the Starkville Barnhills....after being torn down.

[99jc]

forsyth is a puss

[KOdawg1]

Forsythe is in there for his glove. I accept that. I understand it.

But he'd probably be better off going up there with his glove to bat.

[Saltydog]

Is Forsythe "Foam Bat", Part Deaux?

[BeardoMSU]

Forsythe is in there for his glove. I accept that. I understand it.

But he'd probably be better off going up there with his glove to bat.

He's the baseball equivalent of Michael Corleone had Clemenza not planted that gun behind the toilet.**

[Homedawg]

Shift works part two

[BeardoMSU]

That pitch looked good...

[KOdawg1]

Shift works part two

Shift works part three

[BeardoMSU]

Shift again, lol.

[Homedawg]

Three for three. Thanks for playing

[Rex54]

Shift on point tonight

[BayouDawg]

Leggit has had some ugly looking throws tonight. That one looked like he was doing shot put.

[Saltydog]

Better than Hatcher's hitting?

[KOdawg1]

Death, taxes, Rowdey Jordan destroying his hometown team

[skadoosh14]

That boy Rowdey can hit

[BayouDawg]

Rowdy heating up!

[Really Clark?]

That a shot Rowdy

[Really Clark?]

Tanner on point tonight

[KOdawg1]

A hot Rowdey with TA in the 2 hole will be a problem

[BayouDawg]

Back to back dubs

[parabrave]

Good back to back Doubles by Rowdey and Tanner. 5-2 now

[Rex54]

Kam got away with that missed strike.

[Saltydog]

I really thought Logan Tanner was going to be a better hitter than he has.....

[Percho]

I really thought Logan Tanner was going to be a better hitter than he has.....

Tries to pull everything.

[99jc]

georgia up 1-0 on vandy in 5th

[KOdawg1]

There isn't much in this world I hate more than a leadoff walk

[Activated Alpha]

Can't be giving out free baserunners. Need Preston to calm his nerves down a bit

[Ari Gold]

There’s one out in the top of the 8th...

[Saltydog]

Johnson doesn't look comfortable out there at all. Better get the pen up......

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus.

[parabrave]

Can't be giving out free baserunners. Need Preston to calm his nerves down a bit

Well His nerves are about to hit the dugout.

[Jeb Busch Lite]

For the life of me, I cannot understand our complete refusal to only use Landon Sims 2 innings per weekend. He should have started the 7th

[Saltydog]

Interesting choice with Harding against the right handed Bliss......

[Bdawg]

Please keep the updates coming. Electricity is out and internet is slow. Where can I get radio on my phone?? Help!

[Cowbell]

For the life of me, I cannot understand our complete refusal to only use Landon Sims 2 innings per weekend. He should have started the 7th
He has to have some kind of injury. This is absurd.

[KOdawg1]

Where tf is Landon Sims?

[parabrave]

Jeez just put Sims in and get it over with.

[Saltydog]

I'd pull Harding and bring in Sims right here.....

[BeardoMSU]

WTF are we doing?

[Rex54]

Why not go Sims here?

[Activated Alpha]

This ump must have measured his strike zone with his asshole in the mirror this morning because some of those balls were strikes

[MaroonFlounder]

Why Sims isn't a Friday night option after the starter is baffling. It will end up getting us beat.

[BeardoMSU]

Please make us look like idiots here...

[parabrave]

Please keep the updates coming. Electricity is out and internet is slow. Where can I get radio on my phone?? Help!

Where do you live? If your up near Tuplelo Try WFCA

[BeardoMSU]

Ugh...that was close.

[Saltydog]

Yes, PLEASE.....

[BeardoMSU]

Wow, what a break. C'mon!!!!

[skadoosh14]

Where can I get radio on my phone?? Help!

This should work for you. Just listen to the ad and you'll be good to go.

[parabrave]

Crap. 5-4 now

[BeardoMSU]

Great...so glad Sims is getting that rest for the 1 inning he's going to pitch this weekend. **** me.

[KOdawg1]

Third weekend in a row we've mismanaged Sims.

[Rex54]

Good grief Lemonis

[BayouDawg]

Just as night follows day. Lead off walks lead to blown leads

[Cowbell]

Lemonis got some splaining to do...

[Saltydog]

Smith just scares the shit ouitta me......

[KOdawg1]

This is on Lemonis and Foxhall. Completely on them

[bostondawg]

Not sure what everyone here is complaining about. Landon Sims is providing critically-important moral support from the dugout.

[BeardoMSU]

Wow, lol. We deserve this. Total shit show.

[parabrave]

Well just fall apart.

[VandelayIndustries]

Sims not being in makes no sense

[skadoosh14]

Rough inning boys

[Jeb Busch Lite]

This team annoys the piss out of me

[Saltydog]

Forsythe should've made that play. He's killing us tonight in multiple ways......

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Its bases loaded top of the order up. Even if Sims is hurt and you only want him to throw 1-2 innings, it's better to use him here and let someone else have a clean inning vs the bottom of the order

I hate old fashioned dumb thinking. Closers are to get ks. So use them when you need Ks, not when it happens to be the last 3 ks of the game. Dumb as ****

[BayouDawg]

Why am I not surprised?

[msstate7]

I was all for forsythe, but it may have been a huge mistake. If he can't make that play, he's useless

[Bdawg]

https://hailstate.com/watch/?Live=1999&type=Archive

This should work for you. Just listen to the ad and you'll be good to go.

Thank you

[SaintDawg]

gotdammit

[R2Dawg]

That was a strike and should have ended the inning.

[magrooder]

Son Of a Bitch.

[parabrave]

Well go ahead and throw it to to the backstop

[BayouDawg]

Just no testicular fortitude right now

[VandelayIndustries]

About to be losing

[Jeb Busch Lite]

This is ridiculous. If sims starts the 7th this game is at least 5-2 in the ninth right now.

[99jc]

forsyth has to be benched total liability

[Activated Alpha]

So instead of slamming the door shut we have let them back in. This is on lemonis and defense tonight

[magrooder]

This ump is pure shit

[Percho]

This ump is pure shit

Amen

[Bothrops]

Pitching depth is the only thing of quality this team has.

[parabrave]

What a total crap show for that inning.

[bulldogcountry1]

The error should have been on Hatcher.

[SaintDawg]

Why does Lemonis refuse to use Sims? MF'er has a Ferarri sittin' in the garage and won't drive it. Stupid.

[Bdawg]

All I can say is something better be wrong with Sims!! If not, I'm speechless.

[KOdawg1]

Just pathetic game management. You have the best reliever in college baseball and you left him sitting there in a critical situation.

Also, if Forsythe isn't going to make that play, then he needs to sit because he's completely worthless if he doesn't provide defensively

[Saltydog]

Not sure if we didn't go after Tyler Miller or not. He played at EMCC. We should've signed that kid.

[BeardoMSU]

Why does Lemonis refuse to use Sims? MF'er has a Ferarri sittin' in the garage and won't drive it. Stupid.

I've seen this movie before, lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Oh look its automatic out Hatcher

[Cowbell]

I was all for forsythe, but it may have been a huge mistake. If he can't make that play, he's useless
This is becoming a regular statement too - like every weekend

[Percho]

hatcher sure does roll over the top of a lot of balls.

[Saltydog]

Nice exit velo from Hatcher.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Johnson was a fine move, but he didn't have it. That's when Sims should have come in. Harding was a decent choice if not Sims but he didn't have it either. Then it REALLY should have been Sims. Smith hasn't been sharp his last few outings and he wasn't sharp tonight. Oh yeah, and the ump squeezed us , and Foresythe was -as always- mediocre defensively

Lemo 100% deserves crap but that was 3 straight pitcher having an off night, bad defense, and a tightened zone. It coulda been worse than 3 runs

[Really Clark?]

....Exit Velocity huh

[Ari Gold]

The error should have been on Hatcher.

Someone pays attention..

[BeardoMSU]

Oh look its automatic out Hatcher

Did you see the dust fly up on that grounder though?**

[R2Dawg]

This ump is pure shit

Yep he is. Aub pitcher throw one in dirt and it is a strike. Smith burned one down the middle for a ball. BS

[Mjoelner34]

Someone pays attention..

+1

[Activated Alpha]

Did you see the dust fly up on that grounder though?**

Wonder if Cohen sends all the other teams a check for infield management with all the grounders we hit

[Cowbell]

As much as I like Lemonis, there is no doubt he was the kid who had to lick the telephone pole to believe his tongue would stick and had to pee on the Hotwire to believe it was hot.

[SaintDawg]

I've seen this movie before, lol.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/81/72/5a/81725a0a70ce60d2d71ca4d90ca3ae33.gif

hahaha right?!

[Bdawg]

Hold crap. Please score him

[parabrave]

Good hustle by Leggett/

[BeardoMSU]

There we go Leggs! Never let up.

[Really Clark?]

Nice battle Leggett...that a way to keep running!!!

[magrooder]

Need a wild pitch

[Activated Alpha]

Did you see the dust fly up on that grounder though?**

And now its on forsythe to score the run...

[BeardoMSU]

Hellz yeah!

[Bdawg]

Oh hell yeah!!!!! WP baby!!!!

Need a wild pitch

You're welcome

[parabrave]

Well the ball bounces our way. This us because Tanner didn't give up on the popup

[Really Clark?]

Need a wild pitch

Great mojo!!

[Cowbell]

Why would you not pinch hit for forsythe

[BayouDawg]

Thankfully auburn is slightly more inept than us tonight

[Bdawg]

Need a wild pitch

Granted

You damn right! Hustling is never wrong!!

[BeardoMSU]

I'm not even mad at the inevitable Forsythe K, lol.

[BeardoMSU]

4 strikeouts.

4, but feels like 8, lol.

[Bdawg]

Who the hell going to pitch now?????

[Activated Alpha]

Who would we sit forsythe for? How many errors has he had over the past three weekend series? Asking because maybe he is just having on off night defensive wise

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Auburn errored in a run without the ball ever leaving the infield. I'm beginning to see why they keep losing close games

[99jc]

you cant tell me we cant find someone better than forsythe we have the whole 17ing world to look.

[Bulldog1]

About time we brought sims in...

[BeardoMSU]

FFS, 1 inning too late, but here we are.

[KOdawg1]

I just watched the replay on that wild throw from Forsythe. Hatcher could've gotten that. He's awful at stretching out for throws

[Bdawg]

Holy crap. Now we get Sims. I'm even more mad now at Lemonis.

[parabrave]

Now he puts sims in.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Who would we sit forsythe for? How many errors has he had over the past three weekend series? Asking because maybe he is just having on off night defensive wise

I have yet to see a single "wow" play from him, and he consistently makes the routine plays look harder than other SS. I hope I'm wrong but he just doens't seem up to snuff

[Bdawg]

I just watched the replay on that wild throw from Forsythe. Hatcher could've gotten that. He's awful at stretching out for throws

Hatcher has to be the worst overall starter for us right now.

[BeardoMSU]

Holy crap. Now we get Sims. I'm even more mad now at Lemonis.

Maybe he was doing rails of coke in the pen that inning and Lemon didn't want to interrupt his "process", lol.

[Activated Alpha]

Whatever the hell works for him I don?t care. Get him coke and strippers if he needs it

[BeardoMSU]

Lemon must be ****ing with us, lol. Sims, as usual, is filthy.

[SaintDawg]

see how easy that was? sheesh!

[KOdawg1]

Him coming in and mowing them down just pisses me off even more. Shouldn't be a 1 run game right now.

Oh well. 3 outs away. Let's get some insurance.

[BeardoMSU]

Hatcher has to be the worst overall starter for us right now.

Just a heads up...there's this guy named Rex...and you two are not going to jive.**

[BeardoMSU]

Hey, this way...Sims can pitch the minimum with the lead tonight, yet you still won't see him again tomorrow or Sunday, lol.

[Hambone]

Here’s an idea, Maybe Lemonis doesn’t want to over extend Sims the first damn game......

[Cowbell]

Just a heads up...there's this guy named Rex...and you two are not going to jive.**

Don?t really need the asterisks there

[Hambone]

I do agree, if he doesn’t come back in at some point this weekend then my thought is dumb.

[Percho]

Does luke have any idea what is probably going to be thrown?

[KOdawg1]

Rowdey is heating up, while Luke is cooling down

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, we haven't gotten that low zone pitch all ****ing night. Christ, this ump is horrendous.

[SaintDawg]

17ing garbage ump

[Percho]

Well if they do not throw to the man in front of you they are probably going to throw strikes to me. Hit the first pitch.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Here’s an idea, Maybe Lemonis doesn’t want to over extend Sims the first damn game......

Right... we could have brought him in for the 9 out save, then we could have brought him in after Harding for an 8 out save, but you're right the 6 out save is completely different. WHo cares if you lose a game- you can't get your stud pitcher get 8 outs vs 6

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, that's the first low pitch he's called a strike for us.

[Really Clark?]

Well there is one back from the ump

[BeardoMSU]

1 more, Landon. Lets go.

[KOdawg1]

Here?s an idea, Maybe Lemonis doesn?t want to over extend Sims the first damn game......

Here's an idea, you pitch your best pitcher in key situations. We've mismanaged him 3 weekends in a row.

Not much left to defend at the moment

Good win. Made it harder than it needed to be but a win on road is always good

[Cowbell]

Here's an idea, you pitch your best pitcher in key situations. We've mismanaged him 3 weekends in a row.

Yeah - you have a bird in the hand in this league, you better cut its head off. Especially on the road.

[Dawgcap]

Landon Sims warm up music should be the theme from Shaft!! He?s a bad mutha... Shut Yo Mouth

[R2Dawg]

Lol, that's the first low pitch he's called a strike for us.

Yep he likes the Auburn low pitch all night.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Here's an idea, you pitch your best pitcher in key situations. We've mismanaged him 3 weekends in a row.

Exactly, at the end of the game runs are what counts. So, when it's late and they have 2 on nobody out top of the order up is the best time to use your stud (and then give a worse pitcher the 9th with a clean slate vs the bottom of the order)

[BeardoMSU]

This/

We saved his arm, and still won't see him again this weekend, lol.

[msstate7]

Good win. Get 1 more

[maroonmania]

Rowdey is heating up, while Luke is cooling down

Yep, that was painful to have Hancock up there with 2 outs in the 9th and a man in scoring position only to see him strikeout without even ever swinging at a pitch.

[parabrave]

We saved his arm, and still won't see him again this weekend, lol.

He saved the game. Got to win 1st.

[basedog]

It’s only a bad move when one losses. Things worked out, and yes luck counts so be it!
Nice road win. First time our middle relievers didn’t do their job.
I bet we see Sim again this weekend.
I hope Auburn is deflate, again. LOL.
Walks by Preston Johnson was the killer tonight.

[Ari Gold]

I have yet to see a single "wow" play from him, and he consistently makes the routine plays look harder than other SS. I hope I'm wrong but he just doens't seem up to snuff

How about the diving play up the middle in the 8th or 9th against UK ..

Yes the kid had a rough night at the plate. But he is still hitting above .250 and he is a freshman...

[Ari Gold]

3-39 or 3-40 With zero BB in league play
And he is an average at best 1b in the field
It’s time to let Pimentel or Clark have a game or 2

He is a dead out.
He beats the ball into the ground And has more roll over ground ball outs to second than probably our entire team combined.. he had 3 tonight

[KOdawg1]

I'd say he's below average in the field. He's terrible at stretching for outs and he's cost us several outs this year. It's not fair to keep trotting the kid out there.

Hatcher average exit velo tonight 55 mph lol

[Gutter Cobreh]

Hatcher average exit velo tonight 55 mph lol

The gun was broke...

He's swinging a heavier bat, which is causing the low velocity...

Average exit velocity for a 12 yr old is 65, so he's just inspiring the youth that they too can play at MSU one day...

But, what about the launch angle? It isn't just about exit velocity...

Did I miss any potential excuses???

Excellent!

[sandjunky]

Well if you measured the exit velo right before it hit the dirt (3ft in front of plate) it’s a rocket ��- the initial contact with the ground took the energy out of it - just unlucky - just needs more ABs to show you -(Rex probably)

I often wonder why does he always try to catch with 2 hands at first rather than extending and catching the ball with his “face” behind the glove

[Ari Gold]

Do what? Goood. Gosh

Can’t give the error to Hatcher that’s a stretch for sure .. but his footwork on the bag was very bad..

[tcdog70]

Who would we sit forsythe for? How many errors has he had over the past three weekend series? Asking because maybe he is just having on off night defensive wise

What about Scottie Debrule?

both need to sit period.
