Home plate ump today not calling the outside pitch

[starkvegasdawg]

At least he's not doing it for either team.

[msstate7]

Well crap

[mparkerfd20]

****

[Maroonthirteen]

Well, Johnson gives up his average of a home run ever first inning. Grand slam. Well
Maybe that settles him down.

[BayouDawg]

Beef not looking good. Allowed 4 runs on only 1 hit. Needs to get his head right.

[Percho]

Johnson has thrown a lot of quality pitches. This ump has caused all this including the hit batters.

[Mjoelner34]

Time to put somebody in that can throw a strike. Surely we have somebody since we have the bestest pitching coach according to many.

[Maroonthirteen]

He needs to go back to middle reliever. Well... if we could afford that.

[MetEdDawg]

He has a lot of potential but his first innings can be a disaster.

You get spotted a 2 run lead and you walk one and hit 2. That's all mental. Can't blame home plate ump for hitting 2

[Mjoelner34]

Strikes don't hit batters.

[BayouDawg]

He needs to go back to middle reliever. Well... if we could afford that.

May need to switch him and Hunt

[Saltydog]

The strike zone is the size of a teacup. Good Lord. And beef gives up the dinger. He's got to be near the top of the SEC in HR's given up.

[CaptainObvious]

With this Ump, we gonna have a high scoring game. The plate is exactly 17 inches wide, Not 18, not 19, not 20, exactly 17. It cannot touch the black with a 1/4 inch of the ball the whole ball has to be over the plate today.

[Percho]

I'm telling all of you this has been on the ump.

[BayouDawg]

I'm telling all of you this has been on the ump.

Not all of it. No excuse for hitting a batter that is giving himself up with a bunt attempt.

[Maroonthirteen]

Ok. Maybe now he is settled down and ready.

[Percho]

Not all of it. No excuse for hitting a batter that is giving himself up with a bunt attempt.

By that point this ump had taken Johnson's brain out and played with it. It will take just a little while for him to return to normal, I think he has returned.

[BayouDawg]

He had just struck out the previous batter. He just needs to settle in and adjust to the strike zone. Which he will.

[magrooder]

Forsythe with a TRIPLE

[BayouDawg]

Forsythe showing some oppo power

[BayouDawg]

I swear if we strand a leadoff triple

[magrooder]

I swear if we strand a leadoff triple

Rbi sac fly

[BayouDawg]

Ok good. Could not afford to not get that run in

[magrooder]

PJ struggling to say the least

[starkvegasdawg]

PJ struggling to say the least

Wind has a lot to do with that. Ball is carrying massively.

[Activated Alpha]

Wonder if PJ is getting tired out at this point?

[magrooder]

[QUOTE=starkvegasdawg;1428606]Wind has a lot to do with that. Ball is carrying massively.[/QUOT

You are correct. We need to take advantage also.

[Mjoelner34]

Wonder if PJ is getting tired out at this point?

I don't know but the outfielders probably are.

[MaroonFlounder]

Not having a sinker ball guy on the mound today means this one will be in the L column

[Saltydog]

I don't know but the outfielders probably are.

Ba doom ching......

[Percho]

I wonder how many balls for both teams have been thrown and called strikes that were not swung at?

[Saltydog]

Bring in Jack Walker......

[CaptainObvious]

We have a triple by our #9 hitter and 3 infield singles. 1 fly out, 4 ground outs, 1 K.

Meanwhile Johnson has looked like Chesebrough throwing BP.

Too inconsistent to be a tourney team. If the hitting struggles, so does the pitching. Bad mixture.

[magrooder]

Wind blowing out 20 mph so, of course, we bang the ball into the turf for easy ground outs. If the wind was blowing in we'd be skying the ball for easy pop outs.

[CaptainObvious]

Now 7 ground ball outs with a 20 mph wind blowing out. Their pitching plan is outstanding. Throw strike Ms at bottom of zone and make our batters pound it into the ground. He has made 2 mistakes getting the ball up and both ended up being Line Drive triples.

Meanwhile, Johnson is pitching up and the fly ball is being carried out of the park.

[Percho]

Maybe Johnson needs to pitch backward.

[Saltydog]

Better idea would be to pitch lower in the zone. Preston is a dinger machine......

[CaptainObvious]

I would love to say that would be great. But they aren?t swinging at the low pitch and this Ump sure ain?t gonna call it a strike.

[BayouDawg]

We have decided take a ride on the short bus again today. Smh.

[CaptainObvious]

You can?t take him out. He has k?d 9 through 3 innings. Any other time that is a perfect game.😳😳 But not in a Hurricane!

[EdwardDrayton]

We have decided take a ride on the short bus again today. Smh.

It’s never parked far away.

[KOdawg1]

Still a lot of game left, but this is a game we really need to win. A little concerning that PJ has gotten lit up like he has

[Leroy Jenkins]

This broadcast crew sure does say the word "fisted" a lot.

[EdwardDrayton]

Still a lot of game left, but this is a game we really need to win. A little concerning that PJ has gotten lit up like he has

Plenty of time left to win it. No panic. Yet.

[magrooder]

I'm expecting us to break out any time now, but at some point Mizzou has to be shut down, too. Of course this pitcher for Mizz hasn't won a SEC game yet and we love to break a streak.

[Saltydog]

At least he's not doing it for either team.

If we don't sweep this weekend it's going to be extremely tough to get to 14 sec wins because I don't see us beating UT.

[KOdawg1]

Got one back. Let's keep it going w/ two outs

[EdwardDrayton]

This broadcast crew sure does say the word "fisted" a lot.

She needs to pick a different career. Her voice is not pleasant.

[EdwardDrayton]

All gifts are KINDLY accepted!

[magrooder]

Wow. Infield pop up rbi single for Hines

[KOdawg1]

Good job manufacturing some runs with 2 outs.

Let's put up some goose eggs on the mound and keep chipping away.

[BayouDawg]

Beef is not missing any barrels. And Cumbest looked real athletic there

[Activated Alpha]

Gotta stop them from scoring and us keep scoring in order for us to win

[Activated Alpha]

How much longer do you leave PJ in there??

[BayouDawg]

That was a great play by Davis in the gap. Just couldnt get that last one though. Beef has let us down big time today.

[Activated Alpha]

Get him out of there please

[Saltydog]

Preston continues to get his shit pushed in. SMH.......

[msstate7]

Hey lemonis, maybe you should change pitchers

[BayouDawg]

I have seen enough of PJ. He just keeps leaving pitches right over the plate. Frustrating to say the least

[EdwardDrayton]

Oof. Just not Preston’s day.

[KOdawg1]

Beef sucks right now. Don't know what his deal is

[BayouDawg]

Beef sucks right now. Don't know what his deal is

He thinks he can get away with pitching his fastball up in the zone over and over. His fastball aint elite enough to do that this often.

[EdwardDrayton]

Still only down four after four. More than enough time to get back in it.

[Mjoelner34]

We're not trying to win this game as long as we leave a pitcher in throwing batting practice.

[BayouDawg]

Hopefully we about to get into their bullpen

[BayouDawg]

Now we cant barrel up shit.

[EdwardDrayton]

Smh ground balls. Can somebody hang a sign for our guys to see that says Trustmark Park.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We need baserunners? 1-2-3 inning on 4 pitches 🤷

[bulldogcountry1]

The wind is blowing out at 20+ mph, and NOW we start we hitting ground balls.

[KOdawg1]

I think we should pitch Lane honestly *

[BayouDawg]

Hopefully tullar continues his recent goodness.

[BayouDawg]

Hopefully tullar continues his recent goodness.

Nope. Back to his old ways

[Activated Alpha]

Well a hard hit ground ball and now a HBP, let's see if Tullar can pitch around his shit

[CaptainObvious]

State scores 5 runs in the first 4 innings, yet trails 9-5. If there is a more Jekyll and Hyde team, I have never seen it. Just not a tourney team. I fear an embarrassing series lost for the second straight year against the worst team in the SEC, Missouri.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah Tullar is back to his normal form....

[EdwardDrayton]

You’re getting on my last nerve Cam.

[bulldogcountry1]

Lemonis really is mailing this one in. He left Johnson in to give up 9 runs, and then he brings in Tullar for R, S, L, R, R.

[BayouDawg]

I will never understand Foxhalls obsession with Tullar.

[msstate7]

Sometimes I wonder why our RPI is so bad, and then we look like this, and I realize why

[CaptainObvious]

With a bullpen that would struggle pitching in the SWAC, it is clear that there was some extremely poor evaluation and recruiting the past couple of years to get to this point.

[Leroy Jenkins]

This is fun.

[EdwardDrayton]

$&@%#*>$&

[BayouDawg]

Good job lemonis. Leave Beef in to get destroyed then bring in the most inconsistent bullpen arm.

[Activated Alpha]

Yep, get the next guy up. Tullar does not have it

[CaptainObvious]

Too damn late to talk to him now dude. Once he gave up a single to a guy that looked horrible in his first 2 at bats, then he hits the second batter in a left on left matchup, he should have never faced a third batter. Just stupid mound management against a bottom feeder.

[EdwardDrayton]

First SEC game this season Missouri scores ten runs. Now I’m just pi$$ed.

[Cowbell]

SMH you guys calling out our coaching for sending Tullar in are the same ones mad at coaching for using Lane instead of Tullar on Tuesday. We ain't got nobody else. Quit over thinking this. Get mad at them for evaluation and recruiting but they are out of options now. They got to save Hunt for a close game so who do you suggest we use? Hahaha

[KOdawg1]

I'm not complaining about Tullar being in there. I was, however, one of the ones complaining about Lane coming in Tuesday because that was a beyond stupid move and no one can convince me otherwise.

[BayouDawg]

At least we are back in to slam range with the Yeager bomb.

[Cowbell]

I'm not complaining about Tullar being in there. I was, however, one of the ones complaining about Lane coming in Tuesday because that was a beyond stupid move and no one can convince me otherwise.

I was fine with it. They had to put him in against good competition at some point to see if he can buy is an inning or two. We are out of bullpen guys. We honestly had nothing to lose doing it. If he or others can't work then none of this really matters anyway.

[EdwardDrayton]

It’s not because it’s Cam. It’s the single followed by HBP and BB. No matter who just can’t do it when we’re behind.

[BayouDawg]

The main issue was beef just did not have it today. Hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow and Tullar can eat up some innings to save arms today

[BayouDawg]

Hopefully Cade has it tomorrow. Mizzou gonna be feeling good at the plate going into tomorrow

[EdwardDrayton]

Everett, warm up the short one.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ouch. Welcome to the game.

[msstate7]

Taking a base on your lazy ass, cumbest

[KOdawg1]

This is my last comment on it because we went over all this Tuesday night, but in a tie game against your rival with the heart of their lineup up is not the time to bring in your SS to pitch. We need arms, but let's not pretend like we didn't have any other option in that situation. We did.

You say we had nothing to lose? Uh...yeah, we had the game to lose, and we did. A game we kinda needed too. We tried to be cute and it bit us in the ass. You're defending Lemonis and that's fine because he usually makes the right calls and has proven to be a good game manager, but in that situation, it was the wrong call, and he'd probably even tell you that.

[Saltydog]

I agree that we don't have a lot of options but there's no way in hell our pitching staff should be this bad and yes that includes our bottom end guys. Tullar isn't SEC material, much less MSU material. It's a bad combination of poor recruiting and poor player development.

[IngomarDawg]

The inconsistency on this team is so crazy I don?t understand.

[msstate7]

Tourney team? Lol

[662dawg]

The Tullar we?ve come to know is back.

[msstate7]

Tomorrow is win or no postseason. There's no way with our rpi we make it losing this series

[Offshore Dawg]

what is the single game record for hit by pitch

[Cowbell]

I agree that we don't have a lot of options but there's no way in hell our pitching staff should be this bad and yes that includes our bottom end guys. Tullar isn't SEC material, much less MSU material. It's a bad combination of poor recruiting and poor player development.
Now this is a valid argument. We need to offer NIL deals to every Friday night starter at a power 5 program this offseason.

[Cowbell]

I have a feeling today may end it.

[BayouDawg]

The Tullar we?ve come to know is back.

Its remarkable how we actually recruited guys like Tullar and sea bear. Who the hell evaluated them?

[Percho]

$&@%#*>$&

THIS

[msstate7]

I have a feeling today may end it.

Probably so. Not sure how realistic it was anyway with our G5 RPI

[EdwardDrayton]

Chill the Chianti and heat the fava beans. Cuz our liver is cooked.

[KOdawg1]

Tomorrow is win or no postseason. There's no way with our rpi we make it losing this series

I don't see us winning enough in conference to matter now.

Let's say we win tomorrow. That puts us at 10-11.

We've got UF, @A&M, Tenn.

We're getting swept by Tennessee. So do you see 4-5 wins between UF and A&M? I don't.

[Mjoelner34]

Now this is a valid argument. We need to offer NIL deals to every Friday night starter at a power 5 program this offseason.

That would fix the talent side of the problem.

The probability is incredibly low.

[EdwardDrayton]

And now it’s embarrassing.

[msstate7]

This team is embarrassing

[Offshore Dawg]

Now this is a valid argument. We need to offer NIL deals to every Friday night starter at a power 5 program this offseason.

I don't think State will be the only ones doing this.

[Cowbell]

This team is embarrassing

This team isn't embarrassing- the lack of bullpen depth is.

[Cowbell]

I don't think State will be the only ones doing this.

Obviously not but we ARE the defending National champions and the greatest place on earth to play college baseball.

[msstate7]

This team isn't embarrassing- the lack of bullpen depth is.

That isn't part of the team?

[EdwardDrayton]

Wonder how many individual and team records are against us. Intuitively feel we’re probably high on the list in this category.

[Cowbell]

That isn't part of the team?

Yes it's part of a team. Is Yeager embarrassing? Is our first round catcher embarrassing? No

[msstate7]

This team wasn't good when fully healthy. With an AA dominant starter, we lost game 1 to a trash team. This team is an embarrassment

[Offshore Dawg]

your welcome Missouri, most runs scored in a SEC game ever !!!! by Missouri

[EdwardDrayton]

F**K. That is all.

[msstate7]

Yes it's part of a team. Is Yeager embarrassing? Is our first round catcher embarrassing? No

Then the Washington nationals aren't trash bc they have Juan soto

[Cowbell]

This team wasn't good when fully healthy. With an AA dominant starter, we lost game 1 to a trash team. This team is an embarrassment

If this team was fully healthy, we would be a lock for a regional - don't let your emotions get ahead of you. This team has greatly improved since early season.

[msstate7]

This team has greatly improved since early season.

God, I'd hope so

This was a preseason top 10 team

[EdwardDrayton]

For the love of all that is holy, make ….. it …….stop.

[msstate7]

For the love of all that is holy, make ….. it …….stop.

It's almost over. I think this game is the nail in the coffin

[msstate7]

Every committee member will take note of a 30-spot on us today

[EdwardDrayton]

Missouri hitter arguing a called strike three up 19-6. Take your a$$ to the dugout putz.

[EdwardDrayton]

Can you tell Lent is over fellas. I’ve just broken out the brown water and put on Eric C to “ease my worried mind”. :)

[SailingDawg]

I can't believe two field goals is all we got against this defense.

[EdwardDrayton]

It’s not football or basketball but think Jack C cracks a smile from heaven nonetheless, “we’re only down 13 in the 8th”.

[Ranchdawg]

Just in to say this is really hurting me. This is a total embarrassment.

Also Mr Lemonis we really appreciate the Natty. But I/we got news for you we at M over S expect our teams to be prepared when season starts. We expect our players to be really well coached and to perform at the highest level of college baseball. We expect you to recruit/bring in players that have the ability to hit and pitch the ball way better than what is being displayed currently. We expect at the minimum to beat teams that have less talent. And we durn sure expect minimum to be in a regional. If you won?t/don?t do so you can be replaced!

As a 40 year avid M over S baseball fan I?m angry and very concerned by this season.

I hear you. On so many levels, this year should not have happened bad like this. The low target of just make a regional. But we've had a down year here and there. Heck Mizzou beat us 2 of 3 in a NC year and we got run ruled twice after that in post season. That's baseball.

We really need to make a regional this year. Vandy is not having a typical Vandy year either. I'll be honest there are times I don't even want to wear my NC hat or shirt this year it has been so bad at times.

After this year Lemo needs to have this program come out next year with our hair on fire.

[Saltydog]
