Grambling Thread

[Leeshouldveflanked]

1-2-3 top of first for Walker.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

1-2-3 bottom of first for the District Dawgs.

[662dawg]

Alford at second is interesting

[EdwardDrayton]

Just tuning in. How did Grambling score

[Leeshouldveflanked]

MSU should have signed my son, he had a .490 career average playing against 75 mph fastballers in High School.

[Homedawg]

Bloop single, single in the corner, wild pitch scored their run

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Just tuning in. How did Grambling score
A couple of hits and a wild pitch with a runner on third.

[RougeDawg]

This dude is throwing soft BP. A good hitting team would be playing HR derby. C34 might even be able to hit for the HR cycle against him.

A couple of hits and a wild pitch with a runner on third.

Thanks guys. Still chuckling about Cohens story about Butch Thompson.

For those who did not catch it, Cohen told about a State pitcher a few years ago who said to pitching coach Butch Thompson ?thats not fair?. Thompson replied ?well, you know, the fair only comes to town once a year?.

[maroonmania]

We just have too many pitchers that struggle just to throw strikes.

[Homedawg]

Heck of a play by Lane to end the inning. Walker is struggling big time. Big misses. Can't locate glove side

[RougeDawg]

Better get someone warm. 2 runs may win this thing the way we swing it.

[RougeDawg]

Just looks like we do not want to be there today. Should be chomping at the bit for a stat padding game.

[KOdawg1]

The ball just comes off Forsythe's bat so weak.

[Activated Alpha]

Our hitters just plain suck. We should be teeing off this guy and all we are getting are routine fly balls or pop ups. We will get our shit pushed in this weekend by Tulane if we bring these bats with us

[RougeDawg]

Can?t even get hit by a pitch properly. Holy shit this team looks lost in the wilderness right now.

[SilentSteel16]

Ok, I have never seen a HBP get overturned into a K. That explanation didn’t explain anything. I get not leaning into a pitch but how did that become a strike?

[RougeDawg]

Shit rule. Makes zero sense unless hitter leans over strike zone.

[SilentSteel16]

Ok now I get it, but good grief that is petty. You get hit, you get hit.

[SilentSteel16]

Shit rule. Makes zero sense unless hitter leans over strike zone.

Exactly, unless you put yourself in the zone I think it is baseball.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Just a question and a joke...

Did MSU switch bat brands since last year?

We need to send the bats we have to Ukraine as donations. Maybe the Ukrainians can use them to hit Russians with them

[maroonmania]

Jake G. just never seems to have our hitters ready to hit early in the year. Being no hit thru 3 by a Grambling pitcher throwing in the 70s is ridiculous.

[KOdawg1]

We have a sponsor deal with Louisville Slugger. Prior to this year, players could use what they wanted.

[KOdawg1]

We deserve to get beat the way we're playing

[Maroonthirteen]

Hitting coaches.... They help with mechanics and all but.... if you aren't clobbering a 75 mph fastball... it's between the ears.

[EdwardDrayton]

This frustratingly up and down nature of our bats so far is going to drive me to drink.

We have already had to endure one sport this season of maddening up and down performance.

[Maroonthirteen]

"You are competing against the game." Cohens favorite phrase early this season.

It's getting comical the excuses though coming out of the booth. State just isn't hitting the ball well. What's so crazy is, it's the whole team (it seems).

[Duckdog]

Face it boys, we suck. I'm going to be that guy.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We have a sponsor deal with Louisville Slugger. Prior to this year, players could use what they wanted.

Hmmm. I see OM is using Easton bats, not having troubles hitting the ball in the cold weather.

[Duckdog]

This doesn't have shit to do with bats

[EdwardDrayton]

Hmmm. I see OM is using Easton bats, not having troubles hitting the ball in the cold weather.

I desperately want to believe this is the reason for our trouble buuut

[Activated Alpha]

I am sorry but if we consistently struggle through the years to hit low FB pitchers then we never need to schedule cupcakes again. This is an absolute embarrassment to the M over S if our hitters cannot hit this guy

[CaptainObvious]

I?m old enough to remember when Northern Kentucky was one of our worst losses ever!

That title may be short lived!

[RougeDawg]

If all teams do not make sec tournament we may just need to lower expectations just to make that one.

[Maroonthirteen]

This ump has a wide strike zone too. State needs to be more aggressive at the plate.

[TNDawg35]

Like I said last wk, it’s amazing how many pitchers we let look like a mlb hall of famer. I wish I knew how many times we have went 0-3 hits through like 8 innings.

And now we are being out hit by Grambling and Stenett is getting tore up…

[Activated Alpha]

Guess we just want to concede this game by going to Stinnett?

[EdwardDrayton]

Attaway Parker. Good to see him get a solid inning under his belt. That will help that 15+ ERA.

[Activated Alpha]

Horrible AB by a veteran James

[RougeDawg]

Need to be trying to go the other way against a guy like this. Will help you keep your shoulder and hips from opening too early.

[RougeDawg]

Just a question and a joke...

Seems like we flip a coin before every game on whether or not we bring the bats or not. Mainly not lately.

[BeardoMSU]

When is it time to panic that our hitting is a travesty?**

[EdwardDrayton]

Hoo boy. 1-1 score after six against 2-4 Grambling. Have to admit becoming a little concerned about this team eight games into the season. Probably not enough to indicate a pattern yet but enough to make one question a little.

[CaptainObvious]

Horrible AB by a veteran James

Just the difference in being aggressive and being impatient.

Hancock then walks on 4 pitches and Tanner works the count then flies out the other way. But Hines grounds to first on first pitch. They started 5 Freshmen, 3 Sophomores and a junior and we started 5,Sophomores, 3 Freshmen and a junior.

And this game looks like a high school match up.

[Activated Alpha]

Guess Cohen can't just come out and say our hitters suck, but labeling Grambling pitcher as Nola Ryan

[Activated Alpha]

About damn time. About damn time. Cumbest just showed the rest of the team how to hit this guy. Get out of here!!

[BeardoMSU]

Guess Cohen can't just come out and say our hitters suck, but labeling Grambling pitcher as Nola Ryan

Lol, yeah.

[RougeDawg]

Matt Wyatt in the baseball booth is not too bad. Seems pretty knowledgeable.

[The Federalist Engineer]

So we pinch run cause the run is valuable, but then we hit with Forsythe.

Seems we should PH with Leggett.

Yeah, I am not a buyer on the Forsythe is an MLB defensive SS compared to Leggett. Not true at all.

[BeardoMSU]

Matt Wyatt in the baseball booth is not too bad. Seems pretty knowledgeable.

I've always like Matt calling baseball.

[ScoobaDawg]

Don't like the offensive production but at least we finally took the lead. 2-1 after 7.

[RougeDawg]

I've always like Matt calling baseball.

He must only call midweek mainly. Usually don?t get to watch midweek with work but got today off for Mardi Gras.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Don't like the offensive production but at least we finally took the lead. 2-1 after 7.

The fans should storm the field if we win. That might be a wake up call to the team.

[RougeDawg]

Take notes of grambling catcher. Has a future pro career ahead of him. Nice quiet swing and approach.

[maroonmania]

We don't hit anything on a line. Everything is on the ground or a can of corn. Most of our guys are never on anything. Thank goodness for Cumbest.

[Santiago]

The middle infield of Forsythe and Yeager is impressive on D. I know they are not hitting yet, but their D will save a run or two over an SEC weekend.

[maroonmania]

Cohen says this is 'a good baseball team'. Maybe relative to the SWAC they are but this was a pitiful effort by our offense.

[Activated Alpha]

Ugly ugly win. Hopefully this will be a wake up call before a big test tomorrow and the weekend

[magrooder]

That's a win that feels almost like a loss.

[Cowbell]

Ugly ugly win. Hopefully this will be a wake up call before a big test tomorrow and the weekend

The morning alarm should be out of batteries by now

[Santiago]

Looking at other SEC teams tonight, I will take a win and move on.

[EdwardDrayton]

W. Really nothing more that can be said. On to Pearl.

[Turfdawg67]

Go Woke, go Broke, Cohen!! That's EXACTLY why we can't hit the ball. ***

[tcdog70]

Help me understand why you don’t PH for Lane with a runner on third and 1 out?

[Homedawg]

Matt Wyatt in the baseball booth is not too bad. Seems pretty knowledgeable.

What?? Omg. He tries. But his knowledge is limited big time.

[RougeDawg]

Help me understand why you don?t PH for Lane with a runner on third and 1 out?

Playing the odds that he can?t possibly keep dropping his hands and back side to hit weak fly balls and dribblers.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Go Woke, go Broke, Cohen!! That's EXACTLY why we can't hit the ball. ***

Worse than Woke- is wearing Uniforms from the 2000s. Those teams nearly ended baseball at MSU.

[Homedawg]

That uni was as bad, no worse, than one of the trash ones we wore in Polk 2. Brutal.

[HoopsDawg]

How did Slate look at 2B today?

[Todd4State]

That uni was as bad, no worse, than one of the trash ones we wore in Polk 2. Brutal.

Russell Athletic gave us uniforms that looked like they were designed by Wal-Mart or a gas station.

[Todd4State]

Worse than Woke- is wearing Uniforms from the 2000s. Those teams nearly ended baseball at MSU.

Easily the worst era of MSU baseball of the past 50 years. Fortunately McMahon left Polk II some players and then Easley and Moreland forgo the MLB draft plus we were able to get Rea and Pigott who were good players for us.

[TNDawg35]

How did Slate look at 2B today?

I was surprised to see that move. I had heard all fall and spring how good Alford was at 3rd. I would have moved Jakes to 2nd. Yeager seems elite at 2nd, but his bat is lacking… kinda like the rest of the team tho…

[BiscuitEater]

About damn time. About damn time. Cumbest just showed the rest of the team how to hit this guy. Get out of here!!

Less than a week ago ... posters on this very board were shitting all over him! Now, he's superman!

[Homedawg]

How did Slate look at 2B today?

He has one tough chance on a slowly hit ball. Didn't get the guy but didn't look dumb. He's out of position for sure. Gonna be a heck of a thirdbaseman.

[Hot Rock]

This team has a long way to go to be a good team. Can it do it? I hope so.
