let'em lose this game. they need to. it'll be their final wake up call. you 17 around and play like a bunch of g**damn kansas city fa99ots, you get what you deserve. never under estimate a team regardless of record. we as fans deserve to be pissed. we expect, demand and pay for excellent baseball. this bull$hit aint gonna cut it.

Good lord. He does not suck and better than McGowen defensively. He had a brain fart but he has to stay in the line up. It’s not even a debate any more comparing their metrics. It’s not close

I know it was too early in the game to make the defensive substitution, but he let a ball roll roll slowly to the wall with a 3-run lead. And he wasn't very quick about getting back there to it.

And the SC loss. We are reeling right now. We won't get out of regional unless something changes. Bama takes series next weekend unless something changes drastically.

I'm just going to lower my expectations and maybe it'll hurt less in the end. This team winning a national championship was always going to be tough with our weak lineup.

I'm just going to lower my expectations and maybe it'll hurt less in the end. This team winning a national championship was always going to be tough with our weak lineup. Throw in anemic defense and mediocre starting pitching, and our chances are incredibly low. Landon Sims can only help you so much. This sucks.

Yep. Our starting pitching throughout the season has been above average but erratic. Our hitting up and down the lineup has been below average except for TA and when Rowdy finally got to hitting. Our defense has been below average. Landon Sims, Logan Tanner's defense and sometimes Bednar is the only thing elite I've seen on this team. TA having a strong season too. Bad defense negates good pitching. So like you said, how we going to win a NC with bad defense that negates our only strong suit and a weak line up? I just don't see Omaha unless we shore up the D or catch fire like no other. And this is not a knee jerk reaction of tonights game. This is the same pattern throughout the season. Erratic starts, weak defense, and weak hitting. Guess I'm lowering expectations too.

This... We can win it all, but can’t if we play like tonight. Clark looks dang good and we may have a legit threat at the bottom of the order now.

We can’t continue to walk people over and over. And don’t even get me started on the damn shift.

Hope I get shocked but I just can't see this MSU baseball team making a deep run in Omaha. This team has more flaws than any other Top Ten MSU baseball team I can ever remember. Parker Stinnett was terrible tonight with no control giving away runs and Forsythe double clutches a throw that was the go ahead run after review in that inning. And then of course our offense is out to lunch for pretty much the entire second half of the game like we are seeing regularly now. Kam blows a play to give up the winning run in the 9th but that was expected if the ball got hit to him. Could only listen in spots tonight traveling but why was Tanner Leggett not playing 3rd? Our infield defense is just rough for what is supposedly a top 5 team.

We are cursed

Well we have a goose egg in every sport, so therein lies the expectation to ultimately lose.

Now we just have to hope we win the series against these trash cans. Why is it that Mississippi State teams in all sports can't handle success? You'd think an athletics program that has never won a championship would never get overconfident or thinking they're good enough to coast to victory....yet it is the definition of our athletics program any time we have a taste of success. So frustrating. There's a F'ing Title on the line, guys....act like you're aware of it and want it!

1. I think our local fans in Starkville sometimes pat MSU players on the back too much. They get treated like heroes for having a nice season.

2. It is almost impossible for us to build a complete team with the MLB draft and the scholarship situation. LSU has National Titles- and at least 5 of them were with teams loaded up with steroids and being able to use TOPS. Vanderbilt has a National Title and we all know why. As a result of the situation we always seem to have holes whether it's pitching- starting or relieving- hitting, or defense. If the field was level we would be one of if not the most dominant team in the league. I think we are finally starting to see a push at least from SEC schools to level the playing field. We'll see what happens.

Leggett wasn't playing third because it was a tie game and Lemonis didn't want to lose James's bat.

James has lost confidence both in the field and at the plate. I hope I am wrong but we look like a tired baseball team, we will know if we peaked to soon the next 4 Sec games. Walks and poor defense does that to teams. Missouri has been awful all year at the plate and pitching and now they are playing like we have all year, making plays when it counts.
We can bounce back and hopefully today we get good pitching and play solid, something we haven't done the last 3 games.

Not sure if that's a major loss at the moment. This team better catch its second wind for the post season run.

Agree on James. He has been poor at the plate for a long time now. I don't know what the right lineups are but I have seen some of the wrong ones. Mule made some bad plays last night. Logan has not been sharp lately. Seems like most are in a funk outside of TA, Rowdey and Sims. Out pitching is just some inconsistent. Mac is SEC POW and then wouldn't make Mizzou's bullpen. Johnson been terrible lately but comes in like Nolan Ryan? TBH, I've lost a lot of confidence in some of our pitching.

The thing that is worrisome to me is our defense and starting pitchers moving forward. I will say it seems this team plays like our competition, good when teams are good and not so good against lesser competition. But this team has shown it can win and over achieve, I said this a while back, I'm kinda amazed at our record and we find ways to win with not even close one of our best teams. I also am anxious to see how well the Sec does in regional play, The top six or seven teams have been very good, soon we will know how good. I do think Arkansas is best team in the country.

Against sec teams with a losing sec record, we're now 12-2, and that will most likely be 13-2 after today. We lost, but we have won the games we're supposed to at an amazing clip.

Also Leggett is a right hand batter and they were pitching right handers

Let's face it, this team has really over achieved. We have mediocre starting pitching that has under performed for the most part, little power and the bottom 1/3 of the line up is anemic. Oh yeah, I almost forgot shitty defense. We're damn lucky to be where we are. We won a lot of games early in the year to some very average teams that we pulled outta our ass. BTW, RPI down 4 spots to #6 this a.m. No way we win the league now.

These guys looked at their place in the standings and decided to coast after getting jobbed in the Sunday USC game.

I hope they lose their nat'l seed opportunity

This series was awful, but making conclusions on small samples is still dumb. This team is in contention for a national seed bc it's really good. Sure you can use this weekend as a sample to say we aren't good, but the season sample paints a different story
