Tulane Thread, Game 2 - There's no crying in baseball.

[SaintDawg]

"Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pig shit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game. And did I cry?
NO! And do you know why? Because there's no crying in baseball. THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying!"

It stinks to high heaven about Sims, but I'm certain he doesn't want us crying over him. Our guys are still the defending national champions, and it's situations like these when your team leaders emerge. Hit'em where they ain't, boys!

[KOdawg1]

1. Hancock 1B
2. James 3B
3. Hines DH
4. LoTan C
5. Seibert LF
6. Mule CF
7. Clark RF
8. Yeager 2B
9. Forsythe SS

Preston Johnson on the bump.

Interesting to see Seibert still in there vs the lefty Carmouche. Although, Carmouche isn't an overpowering guy. Upper 80s fastball. He's got a really good change up. Our RH hitters will need to watch for that.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Any news on KC Hunt? Last we saw, he was doing the 1st base coach job

[parabrave]

So when do you go with the best line is baseball - "You may run like mays but you hit like shi*". Or this one for smartass players

We need him back for sure

You are correct. There were some quitters on this board last night. If Sims is down you plug another pitcher into his spot and compete.

[OLJWales]

Don't think we quit. Just stung like hell.

[BeardoMSU]

Steve just tweeted a pic of Landon at the game. Nothing on his arm/hand, fwiw.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Don't think we quit. Just stung like hell.

“Looks like a UCL. If so, our season is done.”

That’s an exact quote from last night. So yeah, some quit. I refuse to. It’s time to play ball.

[OLJWales]

Gotcha. Play Ball.

Which means nothing

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Gotcha. Play Ball.

We all want Sims. He’s a badass. Life is easier with Sims on the mound. And we all want him to be successful and healthy. But you have to compete with who you have. And with or without Sims, my goal to compete and win doesn’t change. My sight is still set on Omaha.

[BeardoMSU]

Which means nothing

Ok, great.

I was born a Dog and consider it a privilege to have had Omaha on my mind every year. Hard to imagine 50 of my 59 yrs not a game in any of the big 3 has gone unnoticed. In person, TV, radio or newspaper.

[BeardoMSU]

Sacks packed. 1 out. Up 1-0.

[BeardoMSU]

And....Brad hits into a 643 DP. Wonderful.

[KOdawg1]

Not much more in life I hate more than grounding into a double play

[CaptainObvious]

And....Brad hits into a 643 DP. Wonderful.

Full disclosure: I was surprised he even made contact after his first 2 swings at the breaking ball ankle high. Trying to get something positive out of that at bat.

[BuckyIsAB****]

There is no way we let Sims coach 1B if he has a tear

[KOdawg1]

Not much more in life I hate more than grounding into a double play
Lead off walks are right there too

[KOdawg1]

There is no way we let Sims coach 1B if he has a tear
Why not?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Why not?

That would be beyond stupid if we let a kid with a significant injury stand out there and coach. No way in hell if he were to get hit or something we would be a joke

[BuckyIsAB****]

No competent trainer or doctor would allow for that in todays age

[msstate7]

Not much more in life I hate more than grounding into a double play

Normally, I'd prefer a k, but with this team at the moment, I'm ok with putting the ball in play

[KOdawg1]

He potentially has a torn ucl, not cancer.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Ok man. Whatever you say

[Saltydog]

Preston had trouble throwing strikes in the fall. He's getting behind hitters today and throwing way too many pitches. Not a good start for him.

[magrooder]

Annnnd back to the game Pj gives up a two run homer

[BeardoMSU]

2 run HR for Tulane.

[CaptainObvious]

In case y?all are wondering, that is the ?I?ll make up the strike zone as I go? Tony Walsh behind the plate. Gonna be a wild ride today boys and girls.

[Homedawg]

That would be beyond stupid if we let a kid with a significant injury stand out there and coach. No way in hell if he were to get hit or something we would be a joke

It's his elbow dude. If it's torn he can't get it hurt worse!!! Good grief.

He's been all over the place.

[magrooder]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM LoTan with the Grand Slam

[Activated Alpha]

It's his elbow dude. If it's torn he can't get it hurt worse!!! Good grief.

Actually he could if he gets trucked by an infielder and falls on his arm. Also if he had cancer like KO originally said, ain't no injury on the field would exacerbate his cancer diagnosis. If he has a significant elbow injury, I would label it inappropriate to let him expose himself to further injury by being on the field.

[msstate7]

Radio surprised that ball got out. With this wind, keep scoring

[BeardoMSU]

And Logan sends a piss missile into Lake Pontchartrain. Grand Slam. Dogs up 7-2.

How many times have you seen a first base coach get trucked by an infielder or suddenly fall to the ground?

[KOdawg1]

Riley Self says hi


Exactly

[msstate7]

Riley Self says hi

Was he out there pre-surgery?

[Activated Alpha]

How many times have you seen a first base coach get trucked by an infielder or suddenly fall to the ground?

Happened in the LSU-Ok game. 1st baseman trucked into the older coach when the pitcher threw a bad po attempt. Now was he injured? No, but the potential to further injure himself is there.

[Cowbell]

Was he out there pre-surgery?
Post surgery is more dangerous than pre surgery and yes

[KOdawg1]

Well I've got a suspicion that Landon will be okay. Just a hunch.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Riley Self says hi

He came back and played after that I am pretty sure.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Either Tulane cant pitch or we have found something

[msstate7]

If sims is coaching 1b when he usually doesn't, I take that as a bad sign. Seems like we're finding a way to keep his involved. If he usually coaches 1b, well, good

[BeardoMSU]

And Brad robs one!

[SaintDawg]

Mule flashing the leather!

He could get hurt by a foul ball in the dugout. Clear the damn place it's not safe!!!!

[Commercecomet24]

Who said these OFs couldn't play defense lol. Cumbest!

[EdwardDrayton]

Mr Cumbest, my apologies for wondering if you are capable of covering centerfield. Well done sir.

[msstate7]

Who said these OFs couldn't play defense lol. Cumbest!

He can catch the deep fly off the wall. Hopefully we don't have to see him field the line drive coming right at him; think that's the one that Andruw Jones (best cf ever) said is the toughest

[OLJWales]

I consider it a good sign. Despite the setback he still wants to participate. Good for team moral and good for Sims.

Kellum joins the party. Dinger! 2nd HR this weekend.

[KOdawg1]

They let Kellum get hot. That was a mistake

[EdwardDrayton]

Dang. Somebody found Kellum’s toggle and switched it on.

Clark adds another on a dinger.

You can also bundle with Disney+ and Hulu for a very good deal. It's worth it. Especially if you've got kids (like I do) or enjoy watching as many movies as possible (like I do).

[msstate7]

Lemonis. His 3-0 green light last night

[Commercecomet24]

He can catch the deep fly off the wall. Hopefully we don't have to see him field the line drive coming right at him; think that's the one that Andruw Jones (best cf ever) said is the toughest

Definitely the toughest, but Mule can cover some ground and has a good arm. I like him there.

[BeardoMSU]

DP

[Tater]

I thought someone on this board said it was a mistake to not have Carmouche pitching for us? We shouldn't have let him transfer and we let a solid lefty get away from us???

lol the takes on this board sometimes.

[Activated Alpha]

He could get hurt by a foul ball in the dugout. Clear the damn place it's not safe!!!!
Accidents like that wouldn't be on the coach though and you know it. Same as if Sims slipped and fell at school running to get to Religion classes. But the coach made the decision to put him on the field in a capacity that could expose him to further injury. Now I'm not saying it is a high likely chance of Sims getting further injured, but like I said it would be found inappropriate if he did get injured. What reason does Lemonis to have Sims be the first base coach? Don't have any other players that can do it?

Why can others do it and not sims? Bc he hurt is elbow?? Makes no damn sense. None.

[BuckyIsAB****]

KC hunt did it and he is coming back. I am just saying in todays world there is no way in hell a competent trainer would allow that. Just no way. If you think so I suggest you deal with injuries to kids more and the liability

[Cowbell]

No - done for the season so they told him to coach first base. This was last year.

Ever consider Sims may have asked to coach 1st? Maybe the Doc, Lemonis, & Sims have a better opinion than yours?

I don't always agree with you but there was a reason we didn't pitch him much last year and didn't beg him to stay. Now carmouche is a good pitcher but our staff believed we had better and he's proving them right today.

[Cowbell]

We will set a HR record for miss state this year. Never have we had this much pop in a lineup

[BuckyIsAB****]

He did it before the injury was my point

Hey Greenies, the pitch count goes in the on screen scoreboard empty box. Glad to help.

Hunt and Johnson both coached first last night. We took 15 fielders and 12 pitchers on the road trip. All 15 fielders played last night. We used 4 pitchers yesterday. The other 8 are in the Bull pen. Unless Geautreau or Lemonis are going to coach first, a pitcher is going to be there.

I should have said the other 7 plus the 3 relievers that pitched last night are available for the pen.

[msstate7]

Will Clark said that Landon heard a pop. Goodnight

[mparkerfd20]

We will set a HR record for miss state this year. Never have we had this much pop in a lineup

Did you forget the 80s and 90s like they didn't happen?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Did Will Clark just say on the radio broadcast Sims told him that he heard something pop?

[Commercecomet24]

Landons coaching first because he probably knows he's done and these kids are such competitors they want to help their team in anyway they can.

[msstate7]

Did Will Clark just say on the radio broadcast Sims told him that he heard something pop?

Yes

I am just saying because yall attacking Bucky for voicing that opinion, but one that isn't farfetched.

Cade Smith.

Are we going to pitch him tomorrow and have him turn around and throw next Friday?

Seibert may need to platoon against lefties. He's been carved up twice today.

We're smashing

[magrooder]

10-2 on a Cumbest double.

[BeardoMSU]

And Brad with a double 10-2.

Playing Tulane was just what the doctor ordered, lol.

This game is over and they got to save for tomorrow

[Activated Alpha]

Also, I would like to say that I enjoy it better arguing over Sims coaching 1st base while winning big than arguing over our hitters approach and bad ABs....

[KOdawg1]

RJ is hitting the ball hard, just at people

[BeardoMSU]

We look like a totally different team at the plate this weekend. Whatever buttons the coaches pushed, it ****ing worked. Lets hope it keeps.

[R2Dawg]

There is no way we let Sims coach 1B if he has a tear

Probably not. Like I said on other thread. There will be no statement until they get back to Starkville and examine thoroughly but no major concern at all from the dugout.

[Commercecomet24]

On a side note Ron Swoboda
Is the color guy. He was one of the heroes of the '69 Amazin Mets for all you youngsters. Met Ron one time, super nice guy, just a regular dude.

[Homedawg]

Probably not. Like I said on other thread. There will be no statement until they get back to Starkville and examine thoroughly but no major concern at all from the dugout.

No major concern?? Hmm. Not sure who told you that. There's plenty of concern.

[R2Dawg]

I think a combination of 4-5 things.

1. Cold weather
2. Taken opponents litely
3. Early season not in a groove
4. NC hangover
5. Here is one I think is a real factor. Facing these 75mph fastball pitchers can really mess you up. I think we'll bat better once we start seeing 90+ pitchers every weekend.

[Percho]

KC hunt did it and he is coming back. I am just saying in todays world there is no way in hell a competent trainer would allow that. Just no way. If you think so I suggest you deal with injuries to kids more and the liability

What do you mean by, "today's world"?

Reality set in that they better get thier asses out of thier heads.

I agree w/all except no. 1. The old hot / cold weather thing works for or against both teams, not just one or the other.

[OLJWales]

Been a Shit Ton uh Wokeness here of late.

[Saltydog]

Idk, that's a good point

Just let him pitch on 6 days rest the next two weeks. 6 days is plenty of rest and he's your Friday guy for the UGA series.

[Tater]

I don't always agree with you but there was a reason we didn't pitch him much last year and didn't beg him to stay. Now carmouche is a good pitcher but our staff believed we had better and he's proving them right today.

Yep. And I appreciate you don't turn one conversation into your whole perception of someone either. For our argument I feel very strongly there's this "the way it's always been done" culture in baseball that is destroying interest in MLB. Mike Trout should be the biggest household name in America and there is bench players in the NBA that more people recognize. Baseball needs personality while eliminating violence. That would solve the waning interest. More kids emulated Gary Sheffield or Vlad Guerrero than Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, or Mike Trout. That's a problem.

[CaptainObvious]

Huge mistake by Yeager there. Hope it doesn?t cost us!

[magrooder]

Huge mistake by Yeager there. Hope it doesn?t cost us!

We got a break on that call.

[Mjoelner34]

That is why Forsythe is in the game. Cannon.

Still wish he could hit about .250.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Thats why Forsythe has to play. Hell of a catch and stretch by Hancock too

[Homedawg]

I'm sorry but leggett isn't making that play.

[Homedawg]

We got a break on that call.

They never showed an angle that I saw, when he caught the ball...

[Saltydog]

Typical Forsythe. Great play in the field. Strikes out looking on 3 pitches.

[CaptainObvious]

Innings 5-7 looking like the team that played Grambling Tuesday night. Easy grounders to the infielders with a couple of fly ball outs.

[EdwardDrayton]

Typical Forsythe. Great play in the field. Strikes out looking on 3 pitches.

Right now he can’t even stand on his toes and reach the Mendoza line.

"Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pig shit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game. And did I cry?
NO! And do you know why? Because there's no crying in baseball. THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying!"

It stinks to high heaven about Sims, but I'm certain he doesn't want us crying over him. Our guys are still the defending national champions, and it's situations like these when your team leaders emerge. Hit'em where they ain't, boys!

Neither Kohn or Walker are ready. Mid week at best.

Dang

[Activated Alpha]

Sorry get Walker out of there. Not built for the pressure right now

[BeardoMSU]

wtf are we doing here? go get his ass!

[CaptainObvious]

So after a smoked double and a hit batter, Lemonis didn?t figure Walker wasn?t on today?

[EdwardDrayton]

#*%>?!*#%

[Activated Alpha]

Wonder what that will do for Walker's ERA now. And we really go with Auger here?

[BeardoMSU]

If we **** around and lose this game...

[BuckyIsAB****]

Idk what it is but I just dont like Tulane

[parabrave]

Wonder what that will do for Walker's ERA now. And we really go with Auger here?

Went from 9 to 15.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hopefully that snapped Lemon out of his nap.

[CadaverDawg]

Better get used to having to score a ton of runs...bc no lead is safe with our bullpen this year. With Sims hurt, that's going to make it even worse.

[Mjoelner34]

Neither Kohn or Walker are ready. Mid week at best.

I wouldn't even say mid week. I'd say shagging BP balls and keeping the Gatorade refilled.

[CadaverDawg]

Idk what it is but I just dont like Tulane

They're a bunch of douches. Quiet as a mouse until they take a lead or make a play, and then talk trash like they're the damn Yankees

[Activated Alpha]

Auger with 2 quick outs so far. Last one was tagged though so hopefully he can keep them guessing and the pitchers down

[Saltydog]

Better get used to having to score a ton of runs...bc no lead is safe with our bullpen this year. With Sims hurt, that's going to make it even worse.

TRUTH.....

[BeardoMSU]

They're a bunch of douches. Quiet as a mouse until they take a lead or make a play, and then talk trash like they're the damn Yankees

They were a bunch of c^nts last year, too. Probably the douchiest team we played all season, OM included.

[CadaverDawg]

It is so hard for me to get used to these big slower guys in the outfield. After years with Mangum and Rowdey, I feel like we have a major defensive weakness out there. I get it, we need the sticks, it's just so different than what I'm used to

[EdwardDrayton]

Went from 9 to 15.

He and Tullar will have a lot to talk about.

[parabrave]

Good job Auger.

[parabrave]

They're a bunch of douches. Quiet as a mouse until they take a lead or make a play, and then talk trash like they're the damn Yankees

Because their Coach is a total ASSHAT. He needs private security when he goes to redstick.

If we're fortunate enough to get to Omaha, it'll be interesting seeing them cover that outfield

[R2Dawg]

I agree w/all except no. 1. The old hot / cold weather thing works for or against both teams, not just one or the other.

Yeah both teams playing in the same weather but that doesn't mean that both play the same in cold weather. I still think the cold weather may hamper us for whatever reason.

[R2Dawg]

Better get used to having to score a ton of runs...bc no lead is safe with our bullpen this year. With Sims hurt, that's going to make it even worse.

Maybe. We didn't figure our pitching out till pretty late last year. We fielded a pitching staff and bullpen that very few teams the past 10 years can match.

[EdwardDrayton]

I shouldn’t be the least bit uncomfortable with a two run lead against a Tulane team with six outs left.

I shouldn’t be.

[Activated Alpha]

Well hopefully our bullpen can save us this game because our batters have lost their focus for the past 4 innings

[CaptainObvious]

I am very uncomfortable. This Siegel guy for Tulame. Has shut down the noise we were making in first 4 innings. 4 straight goose eggs.

[Activated Alpha]

Simmons-Sims. Not too far off. Hopefully Stone can channel his inner Sims closer abilities....

[maroonmania]

4 straight scoreless innings by our offense isn't helping either.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We went from see ball hit ball in the first 4 or so innings to taking strikes and swinging at bad pitches.

[BeardoMSU]

CumBeast!

[magrooder]

Cumbest making plays

[R2Dawg]

Good opportunity for Stone

Cumbest showing his stuff in CF

[EdwardDrayton]

Dang. Mule doing his best Andruw Jones imitation this weekend.

Man, Cumbest made me look foolish lol. Love it

[Saltydog]

If they have a change or sinker, we're done. We can't hit either.

[CaptainObvious]

Cumbest and Clark back in early season form against this guy.

[BeardoMSU]

[Activated Alpha]

this ump is so bad...

Who is this ump?

[BuckyIsAB****]

Forsythe looks like he doesnt even wanna hit there

[Saltydog]

Forsythe begging for a walk. He needs to go back to the pine.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Can our pitchers hit for themselves and DH for Forsythe.

[EdwardDrayton]

I get it; he’s an excellent defensive SS. But he has to sit.

[msstate7]

Forsythe begging for a walk. He needs to go back to the pine.

Not with a small lead late in the game

[magrooder]

I guess we have decided to let Tulane win this one.

[Activated Alpha]

What the actual 17? Why pull Simmons and put in Stinnett?

[R2Dawg]

Not sure about putting Parker in here.

[CaptainObvious]

The problem is not the Ump. The problem was a combination of Walker?..and Lemonis not knowing the kid didn?t have it. And then they bring Stinnett in.

Are they trying to lose it?

[BeardoMSU]

wtf?!?!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Stinnet must be great in practice

[R2Dawg]

I get it; he’s an excellent defensive SS. But he has to sit.

Almost like we are throwing this game - we put Skinner and Forsythe in and now some ? pitching moves.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Even if this works, it's like texting and driving in traffic.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I dont understand

[BeardoMSU]

throw. ****ing. Strikes.

and this ump ****ing sucks.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Tepper in the pen, says Jim Ellis

[StarkVegasSteve]

What is our staffs infatuation with Stinnett and Tullar?? They have absolutely no control and we just continue to run them out there in tight situations. Just keep Simmons in the damn game. Not that genius of a thought.

[Leroy Jenkins]

That's the 2nd strike this inning the ump missed at the top of the zone.... after calling one at Forsythe's shoulders.

[BeardoMSU]

Holy shit. This is so bad.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not Lemon’s finest in game management.

[magrooder]

What the actual F**k is our thinking???????

[R2Dawg]

I'm with you I don't see it. Mid week pitchers.

[BeardoMSU]

Why tf did we pull Stone?

[Saltydog]

Parker Stinnett, sigh. I smell another Ivan Melendez. WTF are we doing taking Simmons out? Somebody needs their ass kicked for that. Great we bring Tepper. He's a strike thrower.

[Leroy Jenkins]

That is a little dramatic, Stinnett had a 12/2 K ratio coming in to the game. He has had stretches that look bad though. All that to say, I wouldn't have made a change there.

[BuckyIsAB****]

That was stewwwpid

[maroonmania]

Why tf did we pull Stone?

That is exactly my question? Crazy.

That's what I don't understand. Just keep Simmons in the 9th and we would have already won the game. We all knew Stinnet would keep Tulane in the game and now we have to pull him. Use him tomorrow if you need to get him built up after we clinch the series. Stupid decision on our staff's part

[msstate7]

Certainly don't wanna see extras

[BuckyIsAB****]

That is a little dramatic, Stinnett had a 12/2 K ratio coming in to the game.

And like a 6 ERA

[CaptainObvious]

I think Stinnett is an Ole Miss plant to destroy our team.

[maroonmania]

Yep, if we lose this one it's absolutely on Lemonis and Foxhall. You pull your best relief pitcher in the last inning of a tight game?

[Mjoelner34]

Thank God we pulled Stone Simmons after a clean inning.**

[CadaverDawg]

Up 10-2 and going to find a way to lose. Just unbelievable

[msstate7]

I think Stinnett is an Ole Miss plant to destroy our team.

Pretty elaborate plan to find a kid good enough to get a spot on our team, and then convince said kid to pitch bad to hurt us

[Activated Alpha]

Yup tied game. Good job Lemon. That was a horrible decison

[BeardoMSU]

Yeah, **** this shit.

[CadaverDawg]

Disgusting

[msstate7]

How can you tag from 2b and get home?

[CadaverDawg]

You gotta really try hard to blow a 10-2 lead. Games like these usually haunt teams for the rest of the year...especially if we go on to lose the series tomorrow

[BuckyIsAB****]

He was 10 ft off the baseline

[CadaverDawg]

How can you tag from 2b and get home?

Our RF is being lazy. That's how

[Cowbell]

I'm honestly fine with it. We got to have some pitchers sack up now and this is the only way to do it.

[mparkerfd20]

Some of the worst coaching I've ever seen. IDGAF if you did just win a NC. Just ****ing stupid.

[magrooder]

Lemonis needs to be walking around with a foot in his ass.

[Mjoelner34]

He was 10 ft off the baseline

I noticed that too. Guess he couldn't see it from his view on the bucket.

[maroonmania]

We deserve to lose based on our coaches being braindead.

[LC Dawg]

How can you tag from 2b and get home?

I'd love to see a replay of when he left second.

[EdwardDrayton]

There are no words.

[BuckyIsAB****]

He is treating it like a exhibition

[HoopsDawg]

That's as bad as you can mismanage a pen.

[CadaverDawg]

Lemonis and Foxhall need their heads examined for pulling Simmons. You have a chance to wrap up a road series dub and you want to get cute?

[Activated Alpha]

Whelp, into extras we go because our NC coach decided to make a stupid decision and pull our closer and put in Stinnet. I ain't a NC coach, but even I knew that was a 17 mind fart

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm honestly fine with it. We got to have some pitchers sack up now and this is the only way to do it.

I get it but the first priority is to win a series.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm honestly fine with it. We got to have some pitchers sack up now and this is the only way to do it.

You don't blow a road series though. If we are up 2-0 in the series and it's a Sunday that's one thing, bc the series is wrapped up....but don't get cute and lose a series bc you're trying to "find arms"

[CadaverDawg]

Their 3rd baseman is an absolute wall over there

[CaptainObvious]

Pretty elaborate plan to find a kid good enough to get a spot on our team, and then convince said kid to pitch bad to hurt us

I would think my user name would have told you I was being sarcastic. Never-the-less, no way Walker should have gotten past a double and a hit batter, yet he did and they scored 5 runs.

James is a ground ball on the infield batter, as evidenced by this game.

[Cowbell]

James needs to drop down in the order

[maroonmania]

So we win the first game but lose our ace pitcher and now blow an 8 run lead in the second game because of stupid coaching.

[Activated Alpha]

Typical State. I've seen this before. We won't score Hancock from 2nd and will lose this game then blow the 3rd game.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I get it but the first priority is to win a series.

Stinnett is not a D1 player, there is no "sacking up"

Might as well let Cumbest pitch, he broke Pilks records in High School

[Bdawg]

Reason for not bunting Hancock over?

[Saltydog]

let's squander a lead off double. No problem with our bullpen

[Activated Alpha]

Well what I was afraid of, bases loaded. Won't score any of them....

[EdwardDrayton]

Let’s go Brad; bail us out.

Just don’t need one of those stab me in the heart State outcomes.

[Saltydog]

Cumbest should NEVER swing at another curve. EVER......

[Mjoelner34]

So, he just walked a guy on 4 straight and we promptly swing at one in the dirt. Smart!

[Activated Alpha]

Told you

[BeardoMSU]

We're literally gonna **** around and let these chirpy little bitches win this damn game.

[magrooder]

How can a .364 hitter look so clueless at the plate?

[maroonmania]

7 straight scoreless innings. Leadoff double wasted.

[msstate7]

Come on get us to the 11th, so forsythe can get us the lead

[BuckyIsAB****]

Boys?we are just not that good. Look awfully similar to how we looked all year. That was an awful at bat. He literally did not throw a strike after a 4 pitch walk and cumbest kd

[BeardoMSU]

Cumbest should NEVER swing at another curve. EVER......

Big Pedro Serrano vibes...

[Leroy Jenkins]

Told you

Wow you are amazing. Any lottery numbers I should play?

[Mjoelner34]

We'll probably run Tuller out there now.

[BeardoMSU]

So glad the coaches let Walker give up a no out grandslam and pulled Stone after a clean inning....

[BuckyIsAB****]

He literally threw 9 straight balls and Cumbest struck out

[Bdawg]

Boys?we are just not that good. Look awfully similar to how we looked all year. That was an awful at bat. He literally did not throw a strike after a 4 pitch walk and cumbest kd

Did that kid throw a strike that inning?? How dumb are we?
