[Leroy Jenkins]

Mostly maroon at the park.... walk and a HBP, we can run this guy out of here early..... as Tanner pops up to the catcher with 2 on.

[parabrave]

Going to the BTM of the 1st we strand 2 on Base. One BB and one HBP. Brandon Smith pitching,.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Don't know what to do about our SS situation. Leadoff hitter on base via the E6, Leggett with the high throw to Hancock.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Bases full of tigers with a error, line drive single, and a hbp.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Smith gets out of the bases loaded jam with no damage. But he threw a lot of pitches for someone who was said to be on a pitch count.

[BeardoMSU]

Kam needs to stop sucking..

[Leroy Jenkins]

In his defense, I think that ball was outside. But yes, suck less.

[magrooder]

It looked like Hunt stretching in the bull pen

[Leroy Jenkins]

Tuller up throwing. Hunt stretching in the pen without a ball though, so far.

[Activated Alpha]

Just like our football team, we are going to let them hang around and end up losing. This year sucks

[BeardoMSU]

This is ugly.

[Activated Alpha]

Oh look another opposing pitcher we plan on making look like the next Nolan Ryan. That story is getting really old

[EdwardDrayton]

Hard to understand looking at our lineup but at times we truly can suck a dead bat bong.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Well. Here's Hunt.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hard to understand looking at our lineup but at times we truly can suck a dead bat bong.

Most lethargic MSU team ever?

[Leroy Jenkins]

I miss the Bench Mobb, "the second B is silent".

[EdwardDrayton]

Most lethargic MSU team ever?

Not sure about that but we sure can take a vacation at times from scoring runs.

[Activated Alpha]

Now 3-0 Memphis. I agree with whomever said we won't make the post season. This team sucks harder than a meth head sucking off her drug dealer....

[StarkVegasSteve]

We look like we?d rather be anywhere but Memphis tonight. Being no hit through 4, pitchers missing spots, and making errors.

Someone needs to chew their ass, and I can tell you it will not come from anyone on the current staff. Lemonis needs to wake the 17 up. The honeymoon is over.

[EdwardDrayton]

OK Dawgs, time to get busy. We’re not in a position to give away midweek games.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Oh great. A lefty aka this teams kryptonite.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Sometimes we just give zero fvcks.

[BeardoMSU]

Our hitting shouldn't be this bad. Peridot.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Beginning to think Memphis is going to staff no hit us.

[Activated Alpha]

It seems that every time in every game we hit it to the 3rd baseman they make the play to get the out. And now Leggett pops up. This team is an abomination

[Saltydog]

2015 all over again........

[EdwardDrayton]

Now just getting pi$$sed. We endured enough of this yoyo $hit during basketball season.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well maybe that will fire us up.

[starkvegasdawg]

They'll piss us off for 7 innings and then score 12 runs in the 8th.

[EdwardDrayton]

C’mon Lemo. Wanted to see a good combat crawl and grenade toss.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Lemo tossed. Nobody cares.

[Saltydog]

Lemonis got lucky and they tossed him. Now, he's spared from watching this shitty team.

[Activated Alpha]

2015 all over again........

The only thing that could get me through that misery again is knowing we won it all last year and this sports year is our penance. And that the sport gods will reward us next year by being the best in the SEC again...

[ImissCityBagel]

I thought Lemonis was going to walk up there and slap the ump.

[Cowbell]

Now I'm interested lol

[R2Dawg]

So in one year after a NC and 3 straight CWS and 5 straight supers an NCAA record on both, we are reduced to Memphis, etc. I would say that's baseball but we say that every game

Fact is there was some piss poor recruiting and evaluation of players that built up to this. This shouldn't happen to program's like us.

[R2Dawg]

The only thing that could get me through that misery again is knowing we won it all last year and this sports year is our penance. And that the sport gods will reward us next year by being the best in the SEC again...

There are no such things as sports gods.

[Saltydog]

Only problem with that is that we could actually be worse next year. Tanner, gone. Hancock, gone. Yeager, gone. Leggett, gone. James, gone. Clark, gone. Johnson, gone. You get the idea. Next year is looking bad.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ok. Who's ready to start playing now?

[BeardoMSU]

There are no such things as sports gods.

Chill

[R2Dawg]

Now just getting pi$$sed. We endured enough of this yoyo $hit during basketball season.

Ha a yoyo game in Memphis, what are the odds of that.

[BeardoMSU]

I thought Lemonis was going to walk up there and slap the ump.

Lolz

[R2Dawg]

Chill

Chill?

Seeing that comment once or twice is one thing; I bet I've seen that comment 50 times in two weeks. I think others need to chill on the sports god bologna.

[BeardoMSU]

This is a sports board, not Sunday School.

Don't be so literal.

Welll if the team does indeed suck, maybe mass turnover is a good thing. I still think we might get better

[BeardoMSU]

Good Kam. Good.

[Leroy Jenkins]

There are no such things as sports gods.

Wait til you find out about the Easter bunny.

[BeardoMSU]

Hopefully they'll leave this guy in, lol.

[EdwardDrayton]

Nice of the guys to finally get in the game. Sheesh.

[Leroy Jenkins]

That was a tank. Tanner got all of that.

[R2Dawg]

This is a sports board, not Sunday School.

Don't be so literal.

What is repeating comments about fictious gods have anything to do with sports? So lets all start chanting "we believe" and we'll go undefeated until we play a real team then so the sports gods can shine on us.

Also I didn't bring up the real God but you did with the Sunday School comment. I see you are offended by the actual God. I'm sorry about that.

[R2Dawg]

Wait til you find out about the Easter bunny.

I'm not the one believing in make believe. You can break it to the sports god people about Santa and the Easter bunny. I know the real meaning of Easter.

[BeardoMSU]

You're making this more than it needs to be.

Ibid.

[BeardoMSU]

Pitching change. 2 on. 1 out. Cumbest at bat.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Wait a minute, do you actually think people believe in "sports gods"? LOL.

[Leroy Jenkins]

4-4. Whew.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol. Thanks Memphis. Brad ties it. Runners at 2nd and 3rd.

[BeardoMSU]

Wait a minute, do you actually think people believe in "sports gods"? LOL.

He's obviously casting down false gods.***

[BeardoMSU]

Wp. We take the lead.

[BeardoMSU]

6-4 dogs

[Leroy Jenkins]

Don't look now but those damn sports gods are back on our side.

[R2Dawg]

HR are saving our season. Never really expected that before year started.

[Quaoarsking]

Wait, was I the only one who actually sacrificed a llama to Chaquen before the inning? I guess I get all the credit then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaqu%C3%A9n

[Leroy Jenkins]

6 runs on 2 hits....

[BiscuitEater]

Up 6-5. .. six runs on 2 hits!

[R2Dawg]

Don't look now but those damn sports gods are back on our side.

Nah that was the Easter bunny at work.

[BeardoMSU]

Don't look now but those damn sports gods are back on our side.

People are praying! Keep it up!!!**

[Cowbell]

Don't look now but those damn sports gods are back on our side.

It's the rum

[Activated Alpha]

Sports God? Is that better because I guarantee you God favored us last year because we won it all. I can't tell you how many times I proclaimed "Thank you God!!!!" once we got the NC winning out....

[Leroy Jenkins]

Tepper throwing some gas.

[EdwardDrayton]

People are praying! Keep it up!!!**

OK that’s enough. Let’s pull this back to the game.

[BeardoMSU]

It's the rum

Jobu is awake.

[R2Dawg]

Sports God? Is that better because I guarantee you God favored us last year because we won it all. I can't tell you how many times I proclaimed "Thank you God!!!!" once we got the NC winning out....

Mighty big talk. You must be closer to God than I am.

[ImissCityBagel]

Tepper was putting some stank on those pitches.

[StarkVegasSteve]

New plan: Lemonis gets tossed every game and we all chip in to pay his fines.

[Leroy Jenkins]

With Lemo in the clubhouse, who called that double steal?

Also, everyone knows the sports gods are Scientologists so we can put that topic to bed.

[EdwardDrayton]

New plan: Lemonis gets tossed every game and we all chip in to pay his fines.

I’m in but next time he needs to get more for his money before heading to the locker room.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Sacks full of Dawgs for the "Slim Reaper", Clark.

[EdwardDrayton]

LOL, on the plus side, our hit conversion rate tonight is respectable.

[RougeDawg]

Hogs down 7-2 against UA Little Rock in 5th.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hogs down 7-2 against UA Little Rock in 5th.

I want to see what this lineup can do at Baum stadium.

[BeardoMSU]

Jackson winning me over....Not.

[CaptainObvious]

Jackson winning me over....Not.

Why do they keep trotting him out there? Was this guy not good enough to get signed by Louisville or Kentucky and ended up at State?

[Offshore Dawg]

Why do they keep running these broke dick pitchers out there.

[BeardoMSU]

Jackson winning me over....Not.

Welp, he got out of it. Good job.

[Activated Alpha]

Why do they keep running these broke dick pitchers out there.

Only logical reason is because we literally have no one else in our pen....

[EdwardDrayton]

That bunt was a beauty.

[Offshore Dawg]

Only logical reason is because we literally have no one else in our pen....
Team really is SOL in that category.

[Activated Alpha]

7-4 LR over the hogs. Bases loaded with 1 out so hopefully LR can get out of this inning...

[EdwardDrayton]

Why do they keep running these broke dick pitchers out there.

Can’t answer that but we better find one with a stiffy to close this one out.

[BeardoMSU]

8-4 dogs. Runners at corners. No outs.

[BeardoMSU]

Kam sack fly. 9-4 dogs.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hancock is not going to keep hitting .250 for much longer. Although that should have been a double play.

[Bass Chaser]

Why do they keep trotting him out there? Was this guy not good enough to get signed by Louisville or Kentucky and ended up at State?

Actually if not for the shortened draft he would have signed a pro contract.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Will we see Forsythe on the mound tonight?

[EdwardDrayton]

Many thanks Tigers. All gifts are kindly accepted.

[BeardoMSU]

Many thanks Tigers. All gifts are kindly accepted.

They've been generous.

[EdwardDrayton]

Will we see Forsythe on the mound tonight?

Well he is pretty good when he’s wearing a glove.

[EdwardDrayton]

Shameful that I don’t remember this without looking but roughly how many wins do we think it will take to make a regional.

[EdwardDrayton]

Didn’t look pretty but gets recorded on the good side of the ledger. Looking for us to to stand tall this weekend.

[CaptainObvious]

Pretty impressive 3 innings for Fristoe. We should find out soon if it was Fool?s Gold( bad opponent) or him coming around.

[Activated Alpha]

Good job James. He had some great ABs tonight and I really hope that carries over into the weekend. We desperately need him to keep it up

[ImissCityBagel]

[Homedawg]

I won't quote any or all of the stupid in this thread, you're welcome dipshits ..... have a good night and go dawgs!!

[EdwardDrayton]

C’mon Home. You need to get off the bench and in the game with the rest of us dipshits. :)

[EdwardDrayton]

#RallyEjection

I’d like to think that’s what did it. But like Beard said, Memphis was very generous.

[CaptainObvious]

C’mon Home. You need to get off the bench and in the game with the rest of us dipshits. :)

Correct! Don?t make me go pull up all of the Pre-Season Rankings that had State anywhere from 3 to 9. They don?t rank you there because that is where they expect you to start. They rank you there because that is where they expect you to finish!

This team has under-achieved to this point and that is a fact. Being concerned when the guys are No-hit for the first 5 innings in a midweek contest is legitimate. The Dawgs got a lot of help from the inferior opponent to get the win tonight.

Good to win as always. Lot of work to do!
