Omaha Game Thread - MSU v Vandy

[Lord McBuckethead]

Why was Patrick in? We had better arms available. Made no sense.

He may have been the only one down there.

[msstate7]

Why was Patrick in? We had better arms available. Made no sense.

Well it was 4-1 with 2 on, so I can understand not going with our best

[Bdawg]

Make him work Lane

[bobtail bob]

Lane swung at ball three

[Really Clark?]

Good job Lane. Keep battling

[magrooder]

Lane swung at ball three

Don't worry, he'll watch strike 3

[maroonmania]

Why was Patrick in? We had better arms available. Made no sense.

Terrible decision by Lemonis when he had Cade Smith ready (while we were still in the game!). He does that some when he needs a double play but men were on 2nd and 3rd. Not even a double play situation.

[Cooterpoot]

Put Leggett in. Nothing to lose at this point.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol, Lane.

[Really Clark?]

Terrible decision by Lemonis when he had Cade Smith ready (while we were still in the game!). He does that some when he needs a double play but men were on 2nd and 3rd. Not even a double play situation.

Cade wasn't close to ready

[Lord McBuckethead]

We will never learn. Full count, and they still turn 2? Dude should have been moving.

[msstate7]

I'm never gonna be mad about hard contact. Sucks for sure though

[HoopsDawg]

why was he batting there? For defense?

[Bdawg]

Their DP ball finds a hole. Lane's was right to him. Suck bad

[bobtail bob]

How many times has Lane done that ? Take the dam strikeout. Got dammit

[R2Dawg]

Should have sent Clark on steal on 3-2 pitch to prevent double play. Forsyth is double play waiting to happen if he makes contact.

[preachermatt83]

Hahahahahahahaha. Forsyth finally hits one and it?s a double play. Hahahah

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lane didn't even beat that throw out?

[Bothrops]

Nothing to lose at this point.

^

[Really Clark?]

I'm never gonna be mad about hard contact. Sucks for sure though

Yeah. He hit it hard just in wrong spot

[R2Dawg]

I'm never gonna be mad about hard contact. Sucks for sure though

He did make good contact.

[BulldogBear]

Should have sent Clark on steal on 3-2 pitch to prevent double play. Forsyth is double play waiting to happen if he makes contact.

Yep. Time to waste the top of the order again.

[msstate7]

why was he batting there? For defense?

It was a good AB. He laid off some tough pitches and even fouled off some. Just hit the ball hard right at the 3b

[BeardoMSU]

Next time he's up with runners on, time to PH Leggett.

[MaroonFlounder]

We've hit into a ton of DPs in this tournament

[chef dixon]

That could have been a huge inning

[BayouDawg]

Just tell lane to never ever swing when a runner is on first base with less than 2 outs cause he cant bunt either.

[msstate7]

Lane didn't even beat that throw out?

That ball was to the 3b in a second. It was hard

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lane beats out that throw and perhaps that first baseman isn't playing his spot and we now have runners on the corner for Allen.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That ball was to the 3b in a second. It was hard

Then the 2nd baseman triple clutches and spikes it 25 feet from 1st. What is your point.

[BayouDawg]

That could have been a huge inning

Lead off walks score like 60 percent of the time. State makes up the 40 percent that dont

[Cooterpoot]

We've hit into a ton of DPs in this tournament

We were 2nd in the SEC in DPs hit into.

[ImissCityBagel]

IMO you make Leiter throw down the middle.

[HoopsDawg]

Just so disgusting that if we had won Friday and pitched Bednar tonight I feel extremely confident we win.

That goes back to Lemo not pitching Sims Friday night. I think his worst decision of this CWS was bringing in Patrick though.

[msstate7]

Bright side, leiter walked a guy and gave up hard contact twice. He's close to done imo

[BeardoMSU]

Really need to get in their pen. Jack's almost at 90 pitches. We score a couple more runs and put some pressure on, for tomorrow, if not for tonight.

[Cooterpoot]

That ball was to the 3b in a second. It was hard

2B double clutched and bounced it. Lane isn't fast.

[bobtail bob]

Lemonis stuttering. He sounded shook

[Lord McBuckethead]

That was a strike.

[HoopsDawg]

It was a good AB. He laid off some tough pitches and even fouled off some. Just hit the ball hard right at the 3b

Yes, it was a good AB. He shouldn't have been batting though.

[BeardoMSU]

GD....we should be in this shit....

[Bulldog1]

Nice play forsythe

[Dawg2003]

The longer this goes, the sicker I get that we started MacLeod. Just inexcusable.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Once again, other than the abortion that was the 1st, we squandered 2 other runs. Time to put a big inning together guys.

[Really Clark?]

Beautiful inning Brandon!!! Great job Smith's!!

[BayouDawg]

Lemonis stuttering. He sounded shook

I would be too if I was sitting down with a massive shit in my drawers

[HoopsDawg]

GD....we should be in this shit....

Brutal. Just brutal. Great job by the Smith's.

[msstate7]

This is a big inning. We could possibly knockLeiter out here

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice play forsythe

Really two damn good plays.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This is a big inning. We could possibly knockLeiter out here

We need 6 hits, this inning.

[msstate7]

Brutal. Just brutal. Great job by the Smith's.

Man, If Cade replaced Mac instead of Patrick, it might be 4-2

[Cowbell]

This is a big inning. We could possibly knockLeiter out here

Agreed

[NCDawg]

We should have started either cade or Brandon Smith.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are only 1 of 3 schools in the power 5 not to win a championship.....17 it. Lets do it boys.

[ImissCityBagel]

Brandon Smith >>>>>>>>>> MacLeod.

[msstate7]

Here comes offspeed, James. Lay off early, and hopefully you
Get up 2-0, 2-1

[Bulldog1]

Gotta bring Allen home, guys.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We should have started either cade or Brandon Smith.
Literally anyone other than Mac. Cerantola wouldn't have given up 6 to start. Dude may have hit two though.

[msstate7]

I wanna force them to protect this lead even if we don't win it.

[msstate7]

Wow, they're more talented than us

[MaroonFlounder]

This is a big inning. We could possibly knockLeiter out here

And they'll bring in McIllwain, who chewed us up for 7 innings on that Sunday in Nashville

[Really Clark?]

Dang. Good play RF

[Lord McBuckethead]

That catch looks like that hurt. The grounds put there are shit due to the rain. He stuck in the ground.

[BulldogBear]

Got to put up a crooked letter this inning. Sometimes it feels like nobody does less with a lead off baserunner than we do.

[maroonmania]

Lemonis stuttering. He sounded shook

He holds a lot of the responsibility of this game along with Foxhall. After the SEC tournament start, SR start and the start against VA with Mac you almost have to have someone warming in the pen from the first pitch. And then to put Patrick in with 2 more runners in scoring position was braindead as well.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Adapt or die. And Lemonis is choosing to die. Send the runner. Start Smith. Get Mac out before he dies out there.

We have the mindset of this is what we do and thats it. And it is why we are giving them game 1 right now

[R2Dawg]

Literally anyone other than Mac. Cerantola wouldn't have given up 6 to start. Dude may have hit two though.

At least it would have been at 100

[Cooterpoot]

The longer this goes, the sicker I get that we started MacLeod. Just inexcusable.

I'm more sick over leaving him in.

[ImissCityBagel]

I respect that play.

[msstate7]

And they'll bring in McIllwain, who chewed us up for 7 innings on that Sunday in Nashville

Good, they won't have him tomorrow

[R2Dawg]

He holds a lot of the responsibility of this game along with Foxhall. After the SEC tournament start, SR start and the start against VA with Mac you almost have to have someone warming in the pen from the first pitch. And then to put Patrick in with 2 more runners in scoring position was braindead as well.

Agree the leash it almost one batter. This is the dang NC.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Come on Luck. We need one to touch the outfield grass.

[ImissCityBagel]

MacLeod is a good pitcher..........just not a big-game pitcher. I wonder if we need to recruit people like that...or if there is even a way to screen for that kind of thing.

[msstate7]

That was awful

[R2Dawg]

Wow, they're more talented than us

No they aren't.

[BeardoMSU]

Good, they won't have him tomorrow

This. And who knows, maybe we'll get to him.


This ****ing ump, holy hell.

[magrooder]

What the hell, why can't these umps see the f'n ball is in the other batter's box

[Really Clark?]

Horrible Ump!!

[msstate7]

No they aren't.

Yeah they are. They have 2 top 10 picks.

[preachermatt83]

Without a doubt the worst strike call i have ever seen in my life

[msstate7]

You gotta swing the bat, luke

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hancock absolutely 17ed on strike 2.

[maroonmania]

MacLeod is a good pitcher..........just not a big-game pitcher. I wonder if we need to recruit people like that...or if there is even a way to screen for that kind of thing.

Has NOTHING to do with the stage. He hasn't been a good pitcher in over a month. He lost it and has never found it again.

[Bothrops]

Gotta swing the bat to have a chance at it

[magrooder]

Hancock absolutely 17ed on strike 2.

It sucks when the ump puts you in a hole and not the pitcher

[Cooterpoot]

Ump getting Vandy an extra inning out of Leiter.

[Lord McBuckethead]

God Damn. That is ball 4.

[preachermatt83]

Gosh I despise Vandy

[Bdawg]

It sucks when the ump puts you in a hole and not the pitcher

Just BS.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need some base hits. Let's go.

[Bdawg]

Time for Debrule to straighten out that damn fade down the line he hits foul 3 times an at bat.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Has NOTHING to do with the stage. He hasn't been a good pitcher in over a month. He lost it and has never found it again.

Bet he got a girlfriend.

[magrooder]

Come on Dubrule, time for someone to nut up and make a play

[BeardoMSU]

Jesus, Scotty.

[Cooterpoot]

What if you knew Vandy would have 3 hits through 5 and Leiter would only have 8 Ks through 6? Our coaches blew this game in the first inning.

[magrooder]

weak

[BuckyIsAB****]

MacLeod is a good pitcher..........just not a big-game pitcher. I wonder if we need to recruit people like that...or if there is even a way to screen for that kind of thing.

Give us 25 schollys

[preachermatt83]

Dubrule sickens me

[BeardoMSU]

Bet he got a girlfriend.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNweikbZyrE&ab_channel=RoscoG

[Lord McBuckethead]

We refused to send the runners. Absolutely refuse to put pressure on them.

[Bdawg]

Surely that's it for him.

[R2Dawg]

Yeah they are. They have 2 top 10 picks.

2 good players don't make them better. Bednar and Sims may be first round picks.

Yall say that about every team we lose to, folks been saying that about our team all year; just stop. We have best great teams all year adn are playing in NC game. Good grief.

[mparkerfd20]

Dubrule is worst than Forsythe

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dubrule sickens me

Of all to be sickened by, dubrule doesn't break the top 10 from our last 3 games.

[lastmajordog]

Since Vandy has more scholarship players.....there should be an * by any championships....?

[msstate7]

I think we're gonna get em tomorrow. Mac and Patrick being terrible is why we lost. They aren't scary with leiter in the dugout

[HoopsDawg]

What if you knew Vandy would have 3 hits through 5 and Leiter would only have 8 Ks through 6? Our coaches blew this game in the first inning.

There will be always be people who will defend MSU coaches, but this game is on Chris Lemonis.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Surely that's it for him.

He will get to start the next inning until we get a runner. Vandy burns some arms.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah that has to be game. We desperately needed at least a run there. Doubt we score 5 against their bullpen

[Bdawg]

Dubrule sickens me

The epitome of a slap hitter.

[msstate7]

2 good players don't make them better. Bednar and Sims may be first round picks.

Yall say that about every team we lose to, folks been saying that about our team all year; just stop. We have best great teams all year adn are playing in NC game. Good grief.

Man, they are more talented. Doesn't mean they're a better team, but they're absolutely more talented.

[BeardoMSU]

I think we're gonna get em tomorrow. Mac and Patrick being terrible is why we lost. They aren't scary with leiter in the dugout

Agreed. We just need our pitchers to not self immolate.

[R2Dawg]

What if you knew Vandy would have 3 hits through 5 and Leiter would only have 8 Ks through 6? Our coaches blew this game in the first inning.

Yeah that is the worst part about this. We lost this game in first inning. I love Lemo but bad game plan and game mgt lost this game,

[BayouDawg]

Wow, they're more talented than us

Maybe so but we can definitely beat them. When you gift a team 7 runs because your pitcher has no testicles its hard to win.

[NCDawg]

Come on Dubrule, time for someone to nut up and make a play

I don't recall the last time Dubrule hit a ball in the air.

[Activated Alpha]

Conceding with Hunt?

[msstate7]

There will be always be people who will defend MSU coaches, but this game is on Chris Lemonis.

If we can force them to protect this lead, it turns to advantage us tomorrow.

[CadaverDawg]

3 hits for Vandy. Makes me sick. MacLeod.....just damn. I hate to say one man cost us, but good Lord

[HoopsDawg]

Wow, what a spot for KC Hunt.

[Lord McBuckethead]

KC Hunt opens at 94? Yet another guy that should have started.

[HoopsDawg]

If we can force them to protect this lead, it turns to advantage us tomorrow.

LOL, ok. I will just go with that.

[magrooder]

I don't recall the last time Dubrule hit a ball in the air.

Me either

[BeardoMSU]

Nice 5 pitch inning for Hunt, lol. wow.

[maroonmania]

3 hits for Vandy. Makes me sick. MacLeod.....just damn. I hate to say one man cost us, but good Lord

and Patrick with the gopher ball. That ended our chances. At 4-2 right now I'm feeling OK.

[Activated Alpha]

Good job Hunt. Now let us have some good ABs, score some runs, and get the lead!!

[HoopsDawg]

KC Hunt opens at 94? Yet another guy that should have started.

Yeah, we should have started Cade Smith. There were several of us who said that before the game. But we also knew that Lemonis was going to start Mac. Ok fine, but have a plan ready if Mac is off. Lemonis didn't have a plan and the game got away from us. This should be a 2-2, maybe 4-2 game at worst.

[R2Dawg]

Man, they are more talented. Doesn't mean they're a better team, but they're absolutely more talented.

More talented based on what? Because they go to Vandy. What proof you got? We have broke more NCAA records than they have. Looks like we may be more talented.

Tired of MSU fans dissing our team and making them small all the time.

[Really Clark?]

Dang great inning!! Great job Kam amd Hint

[Lord McBuckethead]

Make him pay for changing pitchers. We need 3 hits and some plus baserunning. Lets go.

[BayouDawg]

A bright spot is that kam James glove has looked great in Omaha. Having that side of the infield locked down for next could be huge

[BeardoMSU]

Somehow, even down 5, we're still in this, lol. At least it feels like it....

[maroonmania]

KC Hunt opens at 94? Yet another guy that should have started.

Yep, we literally could have started any of 4 or 5 other pitchers besides MacLeod and still been in good shape with this game.

[R2Dawg]

Nice 5 pitch inning for Hunt, lol. wow.

Hunt did look good. One inning, one pitcher between us and winning game one. Vandy ain't better than us.

[CadaverDawg]

Kam James is showing why he will be staying at 3rd. He'll make some E's, but he's getting better over there. Get him to learn how to hit a breaking ball and he will be a....dare I say it...."5 tool player"

[BulldogBear]

Any chance at all depends on breaking this routine of spotting Vandy two outs before our top of the order comes up.

[R2Dawg]

Somehow, even down 5, we're still in this, lol. At least it feels like it....

I ready to eat crow boys. The table is set. It does feel like we are still in this.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need to neutralize that 3 run homer this inning. Clark can give one a ride. He has hit two foul balls that almost had the distance. Just square one up young man.

This isn't over yet.

[preachermatt83]

The pen looking good makes me even more angry

[msstate7]

More talented based on what? Because they go to Vandy. What proof you got? We have broke more NCAA records than they have. Looks like we may be more talented.

Tired of MSU fans dissing our team and making them small all the time.

Let's compare mlb draft. Tonight will be 3 of 4 vs us too. I do think we win tomorrow with Harding, brown, and sims. Trying to figure out how we get game 3 though

[maroonmania]

Yeah, we should have started Cade Smith. There were several of us who said that before the game. But we also knew that Lemonis was going to start Mac. Ok fine, but have a plan ready if Mac is off. Lemonis didn't have a plan and the game got away from us. This should be a 2-2, maybe 4-2 game at worst.

Lemonis doesn't ever seem to go by feel. Mac has been one of this starters all year and he wasn't going to change no matter the suckage he was seeing.

[magrooder]

what a shitty at bat

[BayouDawg]

More talented based on what? Because they go to Vandy. What proof you got? We have broke more NCAA records than they have. Looks like we may be more talented.

Tired of MSU fans dissing our team and making them small all the time.

Well they have had the number 1 recruiting class 5 of the last 6 years. I dont think theyre overwhelmingly more talented than us though.

[msstate7]

Cumbest is hitting around .150 or so for the CWS

[preachermatt83]

Hunt did look good. One inning, one pitcher between us and winning game one. Vandy ain't better than us.

Doesn’t it such that losing a game and possibly even a national championship lays at the feet of one player? And it absolutely does. If mccleod had not started this game it would be at worst a 2 run game

[Bothrops]

Cumbest is hitting around .150 or so for the CWS

He's got a long way to go.

[CadaverDawg]

Cumbest is hitting around .150 or so for the CWS

Whole team is right?

[State82]

Macleod single handedly took us out of this game. All he had to do was just compete a LITTLE. But no. That was too much to ask.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Terrible two at bats. Guys, you need to get runners on. Work the count.

[maroonmania]

Cumbest is hitting around .150 or so for the CWS

So what, our whole team is hitting .215 for the CWS and that average has probably gone down.

[preachermatt83]

I like kp

[msstate7]

Doesn’t it such that losing a game and possibly even a national championship lays at the feet of one player? And it absolutely does. If mccleod had not started this game it would be at worst a 2 run game

You can't excuse Patrick's 3-run hr

[Lord McBuckethead]

Whole team is right?

Yep, except Allen. Hatch is 1-2 so far.

[Bulldog1]

Cumbest is hitting around .150 or so for the CWS

Whole team isn't doing much better

[OLJWales]

After 50 years im punch drunk 17 everybody

[smootness]

Hatcher is so bad.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Guess what Hatch. He is going to pitch you low and inside.

[calidawg]

Doesn?t it such that losing a game and possibly even a national championship lays at the feet of one player? And it absolutely does. If mccleod had not started this game it would be at worst a 2 run game

Include lemo, it's the coaches job to not throw your down and out pitcher to the dogs.
Everyone said after his last start he could not pitch again.

[CadaverDawg]

Why anybody throws Kam James and Hatcher a fastball is beyond me

[msstate7]

Clark had a huge HR, but our bottom 3rd is aids to scoring runs

[Bdawg]

Whole team is right?

What I was thinking

[BuckyIsAB****]

There will be always be people who will defend MSU coaches, but this game is on Chris Lemonis.

Worst decision in the history of state sports that I can remember. Even worse to leave him in there to ruin his confidence

[R2Dawg]

Let's compare mlb draft. Tonight will be 3 of 4 vs us too. I do think we win tomorrow with Harding, brown, and sims. Trying to figure out how we get game 3 though

See there you go picking one metric saying they are better. We own strikeout record for year, game by pitcher. 3 straight CWS, 5 straight supers. We strike out less than they do. We can play this game all day. Just quit dissing our team with your favorite Vandy metric.

[Lord McBuckethead]

6 outs and 5 runs needed. At least we start with Rowdey to start the 8th.

[maroonmania]

Hatcher is so bad.

I really hope he doesn't come back next year.

[Cooterpoot]

Worst decision in the history of state sports that I can remember. Even worse to leave him in there to ruin his confidence

Two of the last three games have been managed very poorly.

[Activated Alpha]

What an awful 3 ABs. Guess we will have to rely on tomorrow?s game. Offense has been atrocious

[CadaverDawg]

Ok Lemo, the Hatcher thing wasn't some rebirth...stop with him.

[R2Dawg]

We can win game two and then Bednar for the NC Wed. Winning tonight was going to be hard but we didn't have to give it away especially after putting him on the mat in the first.

[Activated Alpha]

Lead off walks score

[smootness]

Ok Lemo, the Hatcher thing wasn't some rebirth...stop with him.

Hey, he swings good in BP.

[Bulldog1]

Let's compare mlb draft. Tonight will be 3 of 4 vs us too. I do think we win tomorrow with Harding, brown, and sims. Trying to figure out how we get game 3 though

Who is brown?

[magrooder]

4 pitch walk.,craptastic

[BuckyIsAB****]

Ok Lemo, the Hatcher thing wasn't some rebirth...stop with him.

Lemonis has the mindset of doing what we do or die

[Lord McBuckethead]

4 pitch walk to start the bottom of the 7th.

[R2Dawg]

Worst decision in the history of state sports that I can remember. Even worse to leave him in there to ruin his confidence

Lemo didn't have an aggressive approach like he should have.

[msstate7]

See there you go picking one metric saying they are better. We own strikeout record for year, game by pitcher. 3 straight CWS, 5 straight supers. We strike out less than they do. We can play this game all day. Just quit dissing our team with your favorite Vandy metric.

Run differential: 24-15, vandy +9 so far

[maroonmania]

Ok Lemo, the Hatcher thing wasn't some rebirth...stop with him.

His one infield hit was pure luck. Hit one weakly on the infield in a perfect spot. Not like he made good contact.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Two of the last three games have been managed very poorly.

Im not a baseball coach but I believe in adapting and coaching on the fly.

Just like Arnett playing Guidry last year when we had 4 safeties get hurt. Dont play 3 safeties If you don?t have 3 safeties. Adjust.

[Cowbell]

Worst decision in the history of state sports that I can remember. Even worse to leave him in there to ruin his confidence

Hiring joe moorehead is easily worse.

[Bulldog1]

Ok Lemo, the Hatcher thing wasn't some rebirth...stop with him.

I swear - why not just ph w/ leggett if you gonna bring him in for defense... literally can't have a worse AB than Hatcher.

Just dumb

[magrooder]

juuuuuuuuuuussssssst a litlle high

[RougeDawg]

Brandon Smith >>>>>>>>>> MacLeod.

Zach "Toast" Smith is better than MacLeod. Even Granny Smith is better.

[Activated Alpha]

Stop walking people Hunt!!

[R2Dawg]

Run differential: 24-15, vandy +9 so far

You need about 5 more Vandy metrics to catch up with MSU.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hey, he swings good in BP.
BP doesn't throw sliders low and inside. I have never seen him hit one.

6 straight balls.

[CadaverDawg]

I swear - why not just ph w/ leggett if you gonna bring him in for defense... literally can't have a worse AB than Hatcher.

Just dumb

The kid just hit a walk off last night and we go with Hatcher and then put Leggett in! Brilliant

[msstate7]

Who is brown?

Lol, Preston Johnson. I'm stuck in the past

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who the hell is Tuller?

[magrooder]

Lead off walks always score against us

[Activated Alpha]

Yup. Lead off walks have always scored against us

[Cowbell]

Lemonis has the mindset of doing what we do or die

And it has got him this far so why would you change. Just stop. You're a grown man and a coach. Heck you were even against cumbest playing at all so Lemonis is already up on you.

[maroonmania]

The kid just hit a walk off last night and we go with Hatcher and then put Leggett in! Brilliant

Yep, I would rather see Tanner Leggett at the plate 10 times out of 10 over Hatcher.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So lead off walk scores yet again. That may be absolutely the end of the game.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Hiring joe moorehead is easily worse.

I meant a decision by a coach not a hire.

[msstate7]

You need about 5 more Vandy metrics to catch up with MSU.

Huh? They beat us 3 of 4, won more sec games than us, higher seed, and 2 top 10 picks. They're good. We're good too, but I think they've been better this year. Hopefully that ends tomorrow

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep, I would rather see Tanner Leggett at the plate 10 times out of 10 over Hatcher.

I would rather we just play Leggett.

[Bdawg]

Lead off walks always score against us

It's truly unbelievable.

[HoopsDawg]

Who the hell is Tuller?

You don't know who Cameron Tullar is?

[R2Dawg]

So lead off walk scores yet again. That may be absolutely the end of the game.

Yep that is it. I'll put my crow plate back in the cabinet.

[BuckyIsAB****]

And it has got him this far so why would you change. Just stop. You're a grown man and a coach. Heck you were even against cumbest playing at all so Lemonis is already up on you.

Cumbest needs to pick one. Thats what I said. and he does. The decision is about to be made for him

[Activated Alpha]

We will know very early on at the top of the 8th if we can even have a chance. Really need Rowdy and Allen to start a rally

[CadaverDawg]

So lead off walk scores yet again. That may be absolutely the end of the game.

Game ended in the 1st

[RougeDawg]

When you give up twice as many runs as hits, you have a problem.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im not anti Lemonis at all but tonight is on him and Fox

[HoopsDawg]

We will know very early on at the top of the 8th if we can even have a chance. Really need Rowdy and Allen to start a rally

bro, this game is over and has been since the 1st inning.

[Lord McBuckethead]

You don't know who Cameron Tullar is? who does?

[msstate7]

6 outs to go, and we down 6. Id run a position player out there next inning. Save every arm we have. Maybe a position player throws off their timing for tomorrow

[maroonmania]

Game ended in the 1st

Yep, Vandy pitchers don't give away charity runs like we do.

[Lord McBuckethead]

bro, this game is over and has been since the 1st inning.

We have scored 6 in an inning before.

[Cooterpoot]

Im not a baseball coach but I believe in adapting and coaching on the fly.

Just like Arnett playing Guidry last year when we had 4 safeties get hurt. Dont play 3 safeties If you don?t have 3 safeties. Adjust.

We play as straight and plain game of baseball as you'll see. We don't run, hit and run, bunt, anything. It's straight off the analytics company spreadsheet. It's Jackie Sherrill in baseball. It works, but it's got its limits. We'll trot out Hootie tomorrow and he's a terrible matchup with Vandy. They'll stroke him. Going to have to score 7+ tomorrow IMO.

[msstate7]

We have scored 6 in an inning before.

Well, we aren't tonight

[Commercecomet24]

who does?

Tullars been effective for us this year. Good matchup lefty

[R2Dawg]

Huh? They beat us 3 of 4, won more sec games than us, higher seed, and 2 top 10 picks. They're good. We're good too, but I think they've been better this year. Hopefully that ends tomorrow

We had same number of golden spike semifinalist as they did. I never said we were better but I don't see them any better than we are. You just made some blanket statement that can't be defended.

If we win this NC, I guess Vandy is just better. Why do our fans enjoy downing our team? Someone tell me why? Why do we pump up everyone else and give our guys no credit. Just stop we are playing in NC for goodness sakes. Both teams are good. Stop insulting MSU

Seriously, would be interesting to know when the last time was that Vandy gave up 6 runs in an inning?

[bobtail bob]

i'm pissed that no one from our university stepped up and called this sham tonight for what it was. Vandy shouldnt have had more time off than us and Leiter would not hve been available. Wouldn't have done any good but at least show some fight for our boys. Where's Cohen hiding ?

We're getting crushed too

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep, Vandy pitchers don't give away charity runs like we do.
They do, but we haven't forced them to. Terrible swings. Poor in game management with runners. The list goes on and on.

Tomorrow we better be aggressive on the base path. We need to take every swing as if we have 2 strikes from here on out. Walk up there tapping your chest boys.

[Bdawg]

Im not anti Lemonis at all but tonight is on him and Fox

Easily. Mac has been shit for a while now. You know you should have a short leash and someone ready to come in quick. How we all know that and our two coaches don't is baffling.

[Cooterpoot]

Why? No

[msstate7]

Rowdey hitting like lane

[HoopsDawg]

6 outs to go, and we down 6. Id run a position player out there next inning. Save every arm we have. Maybe a position player throws off their timing for tomorrow

We aren't going to throw Hunt or Tullar any the next 2 games so it's fine.

[Cooterpoot]

I'll pass on the two strike swings.

And it needs to be somebody OTHER than freakin' Chase Patrick.

[SilentSteel16]

Notice not the first mention about the extra day of rest, they talked about the no contest but no benefit for Vandy has been discussed

[msstate7]

We aren't going to throw Hunt or Tullar any the next 2 games so it's fine.

I'd do it just to try to throw off their timing. Mlb teams seem to struggle the next night after facing a position player... facing below hitting speed pitching throws you off it seems

[maroonmania]

Well, so much for Rowdey and TA starting a rally.

[HoopsDawg]

I wish we were straight analytics. Analytics say lefty vs lefty doesn't matter. Lemonis brought Tullar in to face the 2 lefties vs Texas. And that's a big reason Bednar wasn't on the hill tonight. That Friday night game vs Texas was huge!!

[Cooterpoot]

We aren't going to throw Hunt or Tullar any the next 2 games so it's fine.

Hootie, Stone, Stinnett (Johnson is available but our coaches stick with a plan) Sims (if we have a lead) tomorrow. Because that's how we roll.

[CadaverDawg]

Still pissed that Vandy has their normal rotation available for 3 games due to some bullshit gift. We're scrambling for arms and they're pitching a first rounder. Hate these ****ing guys

[SilentSteel16]

In all seriousness, State has hit the ball harder than Vandy all game. Out pitched them minus 1st inning. They blew their best pitcher tonight and they have hit one ball hard all night. We are winning this series. Rocker won’t pitch tomorrow the freshman will. Sims might start for us. Then setup for a Bednar v Rocker Wednesday

[Cooterpoot]

Fox isn't the analytics guy I guess.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Look guys, we blew it in the 1st. We played Leiter neck to neck with our bullpen.

Tomorrow is another day. We cannot give up at bats. We cannot issue walks early in innings. Those two things, are our weakest link. We made them earn nothing. Beach balls.

I know everyone is going to be hard on Mac. Dude really 17ed up. Tomorrow is another game. Regroup. Lets go.

[HoopsDawg]

Fox isn't the analytics guy I guess.

guess not.

[CadaverDawg]

I truly can't believe nobody has knocked that whistler's head off. Whenever we lose to these guys and I hear that bastard whistling at the end, I just want to curb stomp him

[SilentSteel16]

I do believe we win this series.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We walked another. You 17n serious?

[msstate7]

I do believe we win this series.

I can see tomorrow's path clearly. I can't see Wednesday's though

[Lord McBuckethead]

Miss play the bunt. 1st and 2nd, one out.

[Activated Alpha]

Mac has earned every bit of criticism for tonight. Same goes for Lemonis and Foxhall. You could tell after the first walk he did not have it. Again. Just pissed off. We all said back In 13 that we could win the next game then throw Graveman, but we know how that went. Highly doubt our bats wake up for tomorrow to give us a win

[BayouDawg]

There is no life in our dugout. This series over.

[Activated Alpha]

I can see tomorrow's path clearly. I can't see Wednesday's though

Our hitters chase so much crap pitches that their freshman will have a career game. It will be typical for State

[ScoobaDawg]

There is no life in our dugout. This series over.

The game is over.. Not the series..

[Lord McBuckethead]

Fristoe got away with one right there.

[CadaverDawg]

We aren't beating Rocker with a makeshift pitching rotation.

[Lord McBuckethead]

The game is over.. Not the series..

100% Correct.

[ScoobaDawg]

Like what I saw from Fristoe

[Bdawg]

Still pissed that Vandy has their normal rotation available for 3 games due to some bullshit gift. We're scrambling for arms and they're pitching a first rounder. Hate these ****ing guys

I kinda think the finals should give both teams who get there enough time to reset there rotation and be at full strength. If you make it that far, each team should have their best available to play a series for it all. But for sure we shouldn't have been penalized for what happened to NC State.

[R2Dawg]

Notice not the first mention about the extra day of rest, they talked about the no contest but no benefit for Vandy has been discussed

Good point; you would think that would have come up. NCAA shut that mouth for broadcast tonight on that topic.

[HoopsDawg]

I can see tomorrow's path clearly. I can't see Wednesday's though

Let's get tomorrow first. But I could see a Bednar, Cade Smith, Brandon Smith scenario on Wednesday that could get the W.

[R2Dawg]

Like what I saw from Fristoe

Yeah, Fristoe says yall miss me yet.
