Tulane Thread - Make sick bats well, Jobu.

[SaintDawg]

Bats, they are sick. Cannot hit curveball. Straightball hit it much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.

Gotta have a win tonight fellas.

Great way to start the thread my man

[KOdawg1]

I started a game thread too but I like the way this one has started better, so let's use this one

[EdwardDrayton]

SaintDawg leads us off tonight with a HR. We win big.

Awesome. Skinner needs some Willie Mays Hayes Training.

[Cowbell]

How are you guys keeping up with the game. For some reason the TuneIn app has tulanes broadcast instead of hours under our name

[starkvegasdawg]

Who brought the chicken for Jobu?

[KOdawg1]

I'm listening on the Hailstate app

[maroonmania]

1st inning we are 3 up 3 down. Shocker.

[EdwardDrayton]

Streaming on the ESPN app

[KOdawg1]

Hancock stung one and got unlucky.

Weak ABs and easy outs from James and Hines.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Cant hit 93 MPH Fastballs either so far.

[KOdawg1]

Sims needs to establish his fastball inside. They'll be hunting it like Northern Kentucky did last week. Don't want them to get extended on it.

[OLJWales]

Throwing inside hurts snowflake feelings.

Jim said Sims was touching 96

Sims does a Sims impersonation and strikes out the side

[Saltydog]

Do you have to have the subscription for espn+ to stream it?

[EdwardDrayton]

Lando jumps right to hyperdrive.

[KOdawg1]

Lead off single for LoTan.

Hit it into the shift but it didn't matter

[magrooder]

Do you have to have the subscription for espn+ to stream it?

Yes.

[maroonmania]

Way to come through Kellum.

[KOdawg1]

Kellum gets the 3-0 green light and gets his first hit of the year!!!

1-0 DAWGS

[maroonmania]

Lost opportunity there for Yeager and Leggett.

[magrooder]

Sims strikes out 2 with one pop out.

[OLJWales]

Sims strikes out 2 with one pop out.

Good stuff from Sims so far. Me Be Liking.

[R2Dawg]

Gotta have a win tonight fellas.

With Sims on the mound, you just got to win that one every time. We really screwed up his first two starts.

Can we get him his first win tonight?

[KOdawg1]

Big 2 out hit from Siebert

2-0

[R2Dawg]

This is looking like the MSU we expected against probably the best team we've played so far.

Maybe we really don't like cold weather?

[KOdawg1]

I'm pumped we're putting the ball in play and have a lead, but Tulane has done everything they can to give us a big inning, but we haven't cashed in.

Small victories I guess lol

[SaintDawg]

So far, so good...

[BuckyIsAB****]

Much much much better. We have caught some breaks but you have to put it in play to do that. We have said piss on the outfield defense and put some big boys in

[maroonmania]

Glad we have 2 but had chances for much more.

[KOdawg1]

So far, so good...

If we continue to hit and win this game, you have to start every game thread for the rest of the season.

[OLJWales]

Sims on to sumpn' special?

[KOdawg1]

8 out of the 9 batters Sims has faced have been Ks

[BuckyIsAB****]

Sims plays baseball like a UFC fighter

[BuckyIsAB****]

I bet he would be a hellacious safety

[Cowbell]

Sims plays baseball like a UFC fighter

And he has nothing in mind but a KO tonight. He is going to will this team to a win

[BeardoMSU]

Landon is playing pissed off.

[OLJWales]

Sims plays baseball like a UFC fighter

He really is a motivated young MAN. Love me some Sims.

[BeardoMSU]

8 out of the 9 batters Sims has faced have been Ks

Filth.

[SaintDawg]

If we continue to hit and win this game, you have to start every game thread for the rest of the season.

Challenge accepted. lol

[Really Clark?]

Landon Sims...yeah he's pretty good. Good grief what a start

[KOdawg1]

Good to see RJ get a hit

[BeardoMSU]

This color guy obviously pregamed on Bourbon Street, lol. How many times he gonna say "Cade Sims"?

[EdwardDrayton]

If that’s not three innings of mound DOMINANCE, shave my face with a rusty razor.

[BuckyIsAB****]

This color guy obviously pregamed on Bourbon Street, lol. How many times he gonna say "Cade Sims"?
Said Madison was up on the western corner near Tennessee

[KOdawg1]

Please break through and put up a big inning.

[OLJWales]

Landon is playing pissed off.

The biggest asshole boss I ever had taught me nothing gets better till you get major league pissed off at the current situation.

[Saltydog]

Yes.

I just got it for $6.99 month but good things is you can cancel at any time. It's worth that for the weekend alone......

[KOdawg1]

Atta boy Kam. Quality AB

3-0

[KOdawg1]

THERES THE BIG INNING

[maroonmania]

Finally the big hit with runners on! 6-0.

[EdwardDrayton]

Clutch hitting tonight fellas. Jobu is IN THE HOUSE!!

[Vandownbytheriver]

I just got it for $6.99 month but good things is you can cancel at any time. It's worth that for the weekend alone......

We have it with Hulu and Disney+ bundled for $14 a month. Outside of baseball, espn+ isn't really that great. The other two make up for it though.

[OLJWales]

Atta boy Kam. Quality AB

3-0

Most times working a 3-0 is an underrated stat. Takes damn good eyes most times.

[BeardoMSU]

And there it is.

[Bdawg]

Please break through and put up a big inning.

Granted

[Bdawg]

Jobu enjoying the rum so far!! I hope he gets loaded!!

[BuckyIsAB****]

We MAY have found something

[R2Dawg]

Landon is playing pissed off.

I think after past 2 weeks, he is saying he has seen enough.

[chef dixon]

I got ESPN and Disney plus for upgrading my Verizon phone plan to unlimited data. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have it

[R2Dawg]

This color guy obviously pregamed on Bourbon Street, lol. How many times he gonna say "Cade Sims"?

They wish, that would be one pitcher. Still gotta see Cade

[SaintDawg]

Jobu enjoying the rum so far!! I hope he gets loaded!!

Is very bad to mess with Jobu's rum.... is very bad.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I think we messed around and found a lineup. Also, Hunter Hines hit that baseball to 17 Lake Charles

[KOdawg1]

Holy 17 please no

[EdwardDrayton]

NO NO NO NO NO NO

[magrooder]

Oh shit. Sims leaves the game with an injury of some kind.

[Really Clark?]

....just damn...damn

[BuckyIsAB****]

Why God

[OLJWales]

Morning Baseball Wood on a Friday Night has me Jerkin'. Just what the Sports God Doc ordered.

[msstate7]

Serious question - why does God hate us?

[BeardoMSU]

Oh my god. What does it look like? He was shaking his hand, right? What could that mean. He didn't grab his elbow, so?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hopefully nothing popped.

[StarkVegasSteve]

FFFFFFFFFFF************************KKKKKKKKK

[Cloak]

****

[Gutter Cobreh]

Can't be good. No way he has that demeanor in the dugout if it was something small. Not sure why they aren't evaluating him though.

[R2Dawg]

Sounds like it isn't his arm

[msstate7]

Oh my god. What does it look like? He was shaking his hand, right? What could that mean. He didn't grab his elbow, so?

Radio guessing hip/back muscle pull

[Cloak]

Mother ****er

[parabrave]

Who the F drank Jobus rum.

[Activated Alpha]

Can anyone that saw it explain what happened? Like was he in a throwing motion or falling away from a pitch?

[ZedFedder]

Rather it be anything but his arm/elbow.

[Really Clark?]

The way he acted on the mound and especially in the dugout...not good

[Bdawg]

Hopefully minor. Our luck, no.

[magrooder]

Can anyone that saw it explain what happened? Like was he in a throwing motion or falling away from a pitch?

He made the pitch and started shaking his throwing hand after he let it go.

[Cloak]

Can anyone that saw it explain what happened? Like was he in a throwing motion or falling away from a pitch?

Pitch looked completely normal. After the throw, he shook his hand a little bit then pulled himself out of the game after a bit of an emotional exit

[KOdawg1]

Looks like a UCL.

If so, our season is done.

I'm sick.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I am no doctor but i bet its UCL. Whatever it was he knew it

[msstate7]

The way he acted on the mound and especially in the dugout...not good

What did he do?

Radio said he walked off the mound funny making them think it was hip or back

[ZedFedder]

PitchingNinja (super knowledgeable Twitter presence) thinks it’s UCL.

[Activated Alpha]

Well 17 me

[BuckyIsAB****]

If he is done you can wrap this up

[Bdawg]

The way he acted on the mound and especially in the dugout...not good

I'm sure he's mad no matter injury. Hell of a game going.

[Gutter Cobreh]

I am no doctor but i bet its UCL. Whatever it was he knew it

Would agree. He knew something happened, but anyone watching wouldn't be able to see it. Pray that isn't the case!

[Saltydog]

What did he do?

Radio said he walked off the mound funny making them think it was hip or back

Just from watching it never crossed my mind that it was his hip or back. He was shaking his arm. If it was his hip or back, I don't think he'd be quite that upset.

[Bdawg]

Is ucl in the elbow that required tommy john?

[Really Clark?]

What did he do?

Radio said he walked off the mound funny making them think it was hip or back

Shaking his hand, but got emotional on the mound and in the dugout...very emotional

[Activated Alpha]

You would be shaking your hand with numbness and tingles in your fingers. This is just 17ing awful. This is suppose to happen to ole miss, not us

[msstate7]

Just from watching it never crossed my mind that it was his hip or back. He was shaking his arm. If it was his hip or back, I don't think he'd be quite that upset.

Jim and Ron, smh

[BeardoMSU]

Just from watching it never crossed my mind that it was his hip or back. He was shaking his arm. If it was his hip or back, I don't think he'd be quite that upset.

He was definitely shaking his hand. And he put his face in his shirt in the dugout. He was upset. It doesn't look good.

[parabrave]

Polk just gave the Arky score, OUCh SELA putting it on them

[msstate7]

Well hopefully it's just a scare. Even if it's worst case, people gonna have to step up. I thought the braves were done after Acuna injury, and they won the WS. Of course there's no trades...

[maroonmania]

Lost the one player we couldn't lose. This season appears to be cursed. I actually feel like we are being forced to pay pennance for last years NC.

[OLJWales]

Interrupted sex causing blue balls. Hope he's okay. Damn.

[KOdawg1]

I can't even finish watching this. And we're breaking it off in them.

I'm physically sick.

[EdwardDrayton]

I just looked up the symptoms of a UCL injury. I shouldn?t have.

[Activated Alpha]

Lost the one player we couldn't lose. This season appears to be cursed. I actually feel like we are being forced to pay pennance for last years NC.

I said that exact same thing this morning to a coworker. God sacrificed our entire sports year due to us winning the NC last year. Just had to be done. Was it worth it? Hell yes, but it still sucks

[HoopsDawg]

Rather it be anything but his arm/elbow.

looked like a tingle in the fingers which means elbow. May have been his last game at MSU. Hell of a way to go out. Struck out 10 of 11 batters, but to me it was 11 out of 11 batters.

[Activated Alpha]

I just looked up the symptoms of a UCL injury. I shouldn?t have.

Yeah the description matches a UCL injury

[parabrave]

Thats the way to manufacture Runs.

[R2Dawg]

9-0 is shocking considering where we were heading into this series.

Hope Sims is OK and just a scare.

[HoopsDawg]

much better approach today. Seibert and Hines hitting rockets. And good to see Yeager get going.

[msstate7]

Offense picking it up tonight. They're gonna have to hit

[magrooder]

Hines is stroking the ball tonight

[KOdawg1]

[Cowbell]

One thing is for sure, these boys know now that pitching ain't gonna save them. They will respond to this.

[Saltydog]

Can anyone that saw it explain what happened? Like was he in a throwing motion or falling away from a pitch?

Didn't seem anything out of the ordinary AA other than his reaction afterwards.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

You have to play ball with or without Sims. Let?s not quit in early March. I pray it?s nothing major. But if Sims is out for the year, I still refuse to concede a single game.

[OLJWales]

Tulane's Live Stats Sucks Harder than a Tranny on Bourbon Street. Just saying. The Buzzards have better.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If Sims is done, hope to God not but if he is you still have 2 pretty solid starters. Idk who 3 is but damn. Sims cant go out like that

[parabrave]

Tulane's Live Stats Sucks Harder than a Tranny on Bourbon Street. Just saying. The Buzzards have better.

Having no problems with their stats feed. Are you getting the feed through Hail State>

[BuckyIsAB****]

Maybe its just a sprain or strain.

[SaintDawg]

Did not want to sacrifice Sims to the baseball gods for us to start hitting.

[BeardoMSU]

Numbness in the hand might explain his reaction. If so, not good. His behavior in the dugout was pretty deflating. He knew something (potentially) bad was up. I really really really hope this isn't the last time we get to watch him throw for us....

[EdwardDrayton]

We?re getting close in this game to being able to close with Tullar.

Lord, I apologize for that right there.

[maroonmania]

If Sims is done I sure hope KC Hunt can get back quickly.

[Saltydog]

I had a partial UCL tear. I still remember the tingling and numbness in my fingers. That's indicative of him shaking that hand. This is potentially devastating. Now, mine was not severe enough to warrant surgery but this was 30 years ago too. Either way it's gonna take a while to heal.

[SaintDawg]

SaintDawg leads us off tonight with a HR. We win big.

And it was f**king expensive with Sims.

[maroonmania]

I think it's a UCL as well. I had a partial tear. I had some tingling and numbness in my fingers. That's indicative of him shaking that hand. This is devastating.

Yep, we might as well be ready for some really bad news.

[EdwardDrayton]

Oh my gosh, Clark uncorks a BLAST!

[HoopsDawg]

Clark destroyed that ball. The perfect night except for 1 really, really bad thing.

[msstate7]

We're becoming an offensive machine anyway, so we don't need great pitching.



Ok, maybe not, but I'm not giving up just yet

[HoopsDawg]

I think we are going to have to move Simmons to starter like he was at Furman.

[R2Dawg]

Where would we be if we had been hitting like this all year?

[HoopsDawg]

We're becoming an offensive machine anyway, so we don't need great pitching.



Ok, maybe not, but I'm not giving up just yet

Tulane is throwing off at this point. But still should be a confidence builder.

[R2Dawg]

We're becoming an offensive machine anyway, so we don't need great pitching.

No way, way to early to give up anything.

If guys get it going, this team can be flat out explosive at the plate. I don't expect this every night but we have some stroke.

[Cowbell]

Tulane is throwing off at this point. But still should be a confidence builder.

Yeah we couldn't hit an 84 mph fastball on Tuesday

[OLJWales]

Having no problems with their stats feed. Are you getting the feed through Hail State>

I got it but it doesn't seem user friendly. I like to be able to quickly go to specific stats I'm interesting in when I want. Vodka and Jerry Garcia may impact current reasoning however.

[EdwardDrayton]

And it was f**king expensive with Sims.

No doubt. Sometimes I think 7 is right; our sports programs seem cursed.

Maybe because don’t think my soul has ever fully recovered from Greg Elena.

we won the national championship last year so can't really claim that.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If Simmons moves to starter the bullpen is scarce

[KOdawg1]

If Simmons moves to starter the bullpen is SCARY

FIFY

[BeardoMSU]

I ****ing hate the night that our offense gets rolling the gods come down and kick our dicks in the dirt like this. Just a total gut punch. We look forward every week to watch Landon shove it, and to think we won't see him in our colors throw again is just depressing as hell. I really really hope it's not as bad as it looked.

[Maroonthirteen]

Shew, dam finally burst. Keep it going Bulldogs!

[HoopsDawg]

If Simmons moves to starter the bullpen is scarce

starter is more important. Guys like Tepper, Hunt, Stinnett are going to have to step up. Need 8 pitchers. Auger and Brandon Smith can be the 7 and 8 guys.

[OLJWales]

Damn. Not going 9.

[OLJWales]

My take and feel too. 17 Me & 17 Us. Reach Around Gone Astray.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

We all want the best for Sims. But dang so many of you quit at the first sign of adversity. We have a season to play with or without him. And I expect to play well.

[maroonmania]

No doubt. Sometimes I think 7 is right; our sports programs seem cursed.

Maybe because don’t think my soul has ever fully recovered from Greg Elena.

If it didn't recover after last season then there is no hope for you.

[HoopsDawg]

maybe give Walling an inning in this game. low pressure situation.

[KOdawg1]

Let Walling pitch

[EdwardDrayton]

we won the national championship last year so can't really claim that.

Well, that team is arguably the best team we’ve ever had in any sport and also arguably the best in college baseball that year. We were deprived of living with our first NC for another 35 years. That HR was crushing.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The real killer that year was Morgan getting his ankle smashed with the line drive against Texas that put us in the losers bracket. Even if we had survived Miami it would have been difficult to win the whole thing without having a healthy Morgan available for the next game. We only had 2 quality starters that year.

[EdwardDrayton]

Isn’t that the truth.

And I’m still pinching myself over our NC; still seems somewhat surreal. But then again I’ve been a fan a long time and have endured a lifetime of disappointing outcomes in our sports history. Probably makes it harder for me to fully absorb our success.

Basketball team curse was ignited by DJ Stewart leaving early while not even being a draft pick. Without Stewart the team just didn't have enough firepower. You can't win consistently in today's college basketball with almost no ability to hit 3 pointers. Against Auburn we had 3 more baskets made than them and 3 more free throws made than them in regulation but they made all of that up with a 9-0 advantage on 3 pointers made. No 3 point ability is basically playing the game handicapped.

[Bdawg]

Yep. Got to get him going

[OLJWales]

Shouldn't dis bitch be done? Like us last year in duh tourney?

I agree. Still though, tolu being injured 70% of the season and Molinar going from a 43% 3-pt shooter to a 25% 3-pt shooter seems awful luck.

[msstate7]

Tulane better not bring a guy in that throws 70. Probably mess us up for a week

Another great example about Gene Morgan. Gosh we as Mississippi State fans could write a book about how to be an enduring fan despite it all.

[maroonmania]

Now, you've got me wondering. Who was our number 3 starter? Trent Intorcia?

Yea, I think the 3rd starter was either Steve King or Intorcia. Neither was very effective though.

[OLJWales]

Morgan was a freak with that sinker. He threw 18 ground outs in a regional I remember.

I do think it was one of those two.

I think he still has our last no hitter thrown by a single pitcher.

Need the baseball guys on here to start digging about Sims haha

[KOdawg1]

So some are saying that Sims has been joking around and laughing in the dugout and hasn't had any medical attention. One dude said he was stretching his fingers.

This is probably just me getting my hopes up only to get crushed again.

That is correct. It was against Hawaii Hilo.......

This is probably just me getting my hopes up only to get crushed again.

I'm all for positive thought, but not sure what medical attention he'd receive even if he completely blew out his elbow. Still, I'm holding out hope it's a pulled muscle in his back or hip bc that's what jim and Ron thought lol

[Captain Falcon]

I have been looking hard trying to find him but I cant tell

He?s sitting in the back wearing a sweatshirt, looked to be celebrating the diving catch by Davis. Maybe it?s a good sign or maybe it means nothing, I dunno. Just hope for the best

[BuckyIsAB****]

I'm all for positive thought, but not sure what medical attention he'd receive even if he completely blew out his elbow. Still, I'm holding out hope it's a pulled muscle in his back or hip bc that's what jim and Ron thought lol

If he had a legit torn ligament he would at least be with the trainers with an ice pack or something on it. No way would a competent trainer risk it getting worse by celebrating? That is just my experience

[Saltydog]

My best memory from that CWS was how silly he made Pete Incaviglia and the OK State hitters look in that opening game.

Yep and just a few short years later Jon Harden completely mesmerized Albert "don't call me Joey" Belle. It kinda reminded me of that slow pitch Bugs Bunny used to throw that was so slow the batters would swing at the same pitch 3 times, lol.....

[somebodyshotmypaw]

It’s possible the Sims injury was just some tightness. And in a nonconference game with a comfortable lead, Sims knew to be safe rather than sorry. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. The young man deserves a chance to shine as a starter. I don’t want the UCL tear.

[Saltydog]

If he had a legit torn ligament he would at least be with the trainers with an ice pack or something on it. No way would a competent trainer risk it getting worse by celebrating? That is just my experience

I would think the UCL would have immediately been treated with ice. Even if it was a just a ucl sprain it likely would have been iced. I dunno. Still don't think it's his back or hip. Again, he was too upset.

[EdwardDrayton]

I hope for him personally more than STATE. Wanna see the youngster get paid more than the STATE Stuff.

No doubt. Don?t want to see his future jeopardized above all else.

After that we?d like to see what he can do on the mound this year. Those first four innings gave us an idea of how special he could be this season.

[parabrave]

Well We will have to wait till Lemons postgame show to find out any news if there is any.

[Commercecomet24]

Bad sign with sims was he was shaking his hand immediately after he threw the pitch like it was numb which is a bad sign of ucl tear. I hope it's not but I've seen it to many times when pitchers react that way. Let's hope it's just a tweak but I doubt it.

[Saltydog]

It?s possible the Sims injury was just some tightness. And in a nonconference game with a comfortable lead, Sims knew to be safe rather than sorry. Let?s keep our fingers crossed. The young man deserves a chance to shine as a starter. I don?t want the UCL tear.

Let's hope you're right ssmp.......

[Leroy Jenkins]

One thing you can say about Forsythe, he is a MF'r with the leather.

[parabrave]

Well We will have to wait till Lemons postgame show to find out any news if there is any.

And this top of the 9th might last til the morning.

And guess not.

You're likely to get it's an "upper body injury" and that may be it.

[Commercecomet24]

Won't know anything for sure until he has an mri.

[CaptainObvious]

Yeah. He is definitely legit in the field. I think if these other guys can start hitting like tonight, I?d just as soon have him hitting Mendoza and playing SS.

[parabrave]

Won't know anything for sure until he has an mri.

Yep. But no Postgame interview tonight. Only good thing that has already been brought up was he wasn't being iced down

[StarkVegasSteve]

Best case Landon is out til April. So you have to start figuring out a rotation without him. I either go:

Preston
Cade
Pico

Or

Cade
Preston
Pico

Too soon for me. I’m still praying for a miracle.

So I have been out camping with my family and I just now saw Sims after a friend sent me the video. You can tell by his face that his release was effected and painful. Started shaking his arm out, if he can’t do the milking and tenal moves then he should have been on ice and strapped. No way he was sitting there unwrapped if it was a true tear. As I said I didn’t watch the rest of the game but initially it does present like UCL and if so he is done for the year regardless of surgery because of draft risk.

My main question is was his tenal and milk test good and if so then it could very well have been a strain or even a partial dislocation of wrist. You will be surprised how many wrist injuries are masked as elbow injuries.

A miracle is he is only out til April.

Wrist is just as bad as elbow folks. The injury is on his throwing arm. Again best case scenario he is out til April. We have to figure out life without Landon and be honest with ourselves, we are talented enough to piece this together. Cade Smith has a higher ceiling than Landon and Pico, in the flashes he has shown, is electric.

Hate it for Lando! Terrible, just terrible!
Pico's not ready for SEC hitters! They will layoff that breaking ball and sit on his very ordinary fastball! He's got to get stronger!

[CaptainObvious]

I realize it was Tulane and end of a 19-2 blowout, but I thought Drew Talley looked sharp.

Talley looked good and in command as did Brandon Smith. And someone with apparently the baseball knowledge of Chris Lemonis, why in the sam hell do we keep running Tullar out there?!?! He is god awful

[The Federalist Engineer]

The Bulldog family and fan nation want the best for Landon. He always goes all out for MSU like a warrior. If he needs to rest the arm for a spell, that's baseball. With Sims resting, other guys get an opportunity to step up and Landon stays on track for his MLB future.

I'm glad we have coaches that will prioritize doing the best for the player.

If we're going to use Tullar I'm fine with it being a 19-2 game. That said, it brought back memories of the time we blew a huge lead to La Tech.

I was at the game and I thought I saw blood on his hand. I could be way off. And like I said the rumor at the game was a blister.

[Todd4State]

No doubt. Sometimes I think 7 is right; our sports programs seem cursed.

Maybe because don?t think my soul has ever fully recovered from Greg Elena.

My soul recovered from Greg Elena when we beat Vanderbilt to win the National Championship.

[Commercecomet24]

Man if it's just a blister that would be awesome. But watching him cover his face with his Jersey and bent over with his head in his hands in the dugout looked way worse than a blister. I sure hope you're right about the blister though, that would be a huge break!

[TNDawg35]

I don’t think it’s a blister. I’m sitting here rewatching the game cause I fell asleep and if it would have been a blister, he wouldn’t have been shaking his arm. Something tweaked the pitch before. He walked off the back of the mound and tossed the ball up. He knew it then. Landon never breaks rythm. He goes and goes quickly. He threw a pitch, got the ball back, stepped off, walked around the mound and tossed the ball up. On that pitch he missed badly low and inside. The next pitch was the one he walked off the mound. I hate to say it, but that wasn’t a blister…

On a side note, I’m really impressed with Hines and even Seibert. We have to keep Both of them in the line up somehow. I really liked the line up tonight I just wish we could get Alford into it somehow.

Now if we have to replace Landon on Friday, I would move Johnson to Fri, Cade to Sat, and then look at starting Walker on Sunday. I really wish the kid from OSU would get his shit together. That would fill that hole. If we wanna be a power every year, it’s next man up. I hate to be that way, but that’s what big time programs do. Injury’s happen, time for someone to step up and fill the hole, albeit and HUGE hole to loose prolly the top pitcher in college baseball, but it is what it is…

Very happy for Kellum Clark by the way. Tonight is the kind of night that makes a kid right the ship. Yeager is turning it on, Clark hit the ball hard, Hines, Seibert, hell you name it… and it ain’t like we did it against a nobody. Tulane is pretty damn good. The took 2/3 from LA Tech. La Tech is damn good…

Yeah I agree. I posted earlier that when you shake your hand and arm like that it's because your arm feels numb or tingles, bad sign of a ucl problem. I'm just hoping that it's something minor but I doubt it.

[OLJWales]

Shit.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

The answer on Tullar is very easy. We need pitching depth. It’s possible that we have already lost Hunt and Sims from our staff. Our coaches are trying to develop pitchers. And Tullar is important because he’s left handed. So when you have a big lead, it’s a great time to put him out there. The coaches would love to develop Tullar (and all of our pitchers) into dependable guys who can help us in close games. It’s a process.

Yeah. Sounds like the people sitting around me were wrong based on Lemonis's comments. Unfortunately.
