Mizzou game 3: Got to have it edition

[msstate7]

Both teams have got to get this win to keep postseason hopes alive. This should be a fun game. Come on dawgs.

[Activated Alpha]

Wish we would play earlier than these 1400 games on Sunday. Get too busy in the afternoon to just sit down and watch at that time

[EdwardDrayton]

With our record currently at 25-19 (9-11), our chances are looking pretty bleak. The consensus seems to be we need five more SEC wins to secure a regional. Stiff competition awaits after today?s game:

Missouri RPI 48
Florida RPI 16
A&M RPI 13
Tennessee RPI 1

Lose today?s game and it?s completely over. Win and there?s still a chance albeit very slim. Not much chance of winning both the Florida and A&M series. Winning the Florida series and getting one game on the road at A&M is possible but still leaves getting a win against TN. That?s also possible but not very likely. We?re in the territory of not technically eliminated but yet worriedly looking overhead at that guillotine.

So we have 10 games to win 5.

[EdwardDrayton]

So we have 10 games to win 5.

Yep. Nine of the ten games at RPI 16 or above including three against #1 that has four losses in 43 total games.

[chef dixon]

I wouldn't say stiff competition. It's Tennessee then everyone else kind of sucks like us

[EdwardDrayton]

I wouldn't say stiff competition. It's Tennessee then everyone else kind of sucks like us

Oh how I wish I could see what you see.

[chef dixon]

Oh how I wish I could see what you see.

It's a huge gap this year between Tennessee and then a bunch of mediocre parity in the SEC

[EdwardDrayton]

I hope you’re right or your next three weeks is going to be rough.

[msstate7]

When's first pitch?

When's first pitch?

Coverage begins at 2:00 on SECN

[State82]

When's first pitch?
2:00

[GolfDawg]

Jess Davis is out of the lineup again. He went 1-3 Friday with a walk and 2 rbis. 0-3 Yesterday. Matt Corder starting in center batting a cool .184. Not sure what the thinking is here. That being said, I hope Corder goes 3-4 with a bomb.

[The Federalist Engineer]

It's a huge gap this year between Tennessee and then a bunch of mediocre parity in the SEC

Among the whacky, basket case team - These next 3 weeks are going to be dramatic baseball, someone that can get hot and win 6 of 9 games can still change their fate.

MSU 9-11 with Florida, TAM, and Tennessee on paper that's a 12-18 season

Florida 8-13 with MSU, MIZZOU, and SC on paper that's a 13-17 season

SC 9-12 with TAM, UK, and UF on paper that's a 13-17 season

Alabama 9-12 with LSU, Auburn, and Arkansas, you could see anything from 9-21 to 13-17

Ole Miss 7-13 with Mizzou, LSU and TAM, that's anywhere between 11-19 to 14-16

So the SECT is probably a "Super Regional" this year for 2/3 of the participants. Every win, a massive accomplishment

Florida is definitely a winnable series. Watched them 3-4 times this year and came away wondering how that RPI is so high?

[ScooterDog]

I still have my doubts about this team. I was thinking that the Friday game might have been fools gold.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Jess Davis is out of the lineup again. He went 1-3 Friday with a walk and 2 rbis. 0-3 Yesterday. Matt Corder starting in center batting a cool .184. Not sure what the thinking is here. That being said, I hope Corder goes 3-4 with a bomb.

Corder was a good prospect to bring in, he still has a summer and fall to improve.

So far, looks like Tanner Poole 2.0, MSU robbed North Alabama or Memphis of a decent player.

Are McGowan, Bryce Chance, and Revy Higgins so bad, we need a Sub-Mendoza transfer? Woof on recruiting.

[HoopsDawg]

I wonder how Davis is batting vs LHP.

[GolfDawg]

I wonder how Davis is batting vs LHP.

Mizzou is throwing a righty today

[msstate7]

That's how you start a big game.

[Leroy Jenkins]

LOL at this ballpark.

[EdwardDrayton]

473 foot shot. Monster.

[Cowbell]

Some of yesterday has to be chalked up to this joke of a park. That first hit that was a grand slam was a routine fly ball any other day. The free bases are a different story

[Commercecomet24]

This place ain't nothing but a wind tunnel. Geez

[Leroy Jenkins]

This place ain't nothing but a wind tunnel. Geez

Imagine the season stats if this was your home ballpark.

[Thick]

Softball park with F1 winds is a joke for an SEC member. Every routine fly has a chance

[Leroy Jenkins]

The dimensions are fine but the wind is just crazy.

[Activated Alpha]

Well, looks like a repeat of yesterday's 1st inning....

[WSOPdawg]

F'n wind tunnel of a stadium, and we gotta go f'n "mental midget" with the free passes... geesh, bases loaded in the 1st with no outs. Seriously Cade???

[EdwardDrayton]

With a 37 launch and 113 exit velo, Hunter’s is gone in any park. The wind just made it go crazy far.

[FISHDAWG]

Come on Cade .... settle in, you've got this

[R2Dawg]

Here we go again. We got to get 3 outs with bases loaded in a HR park.

[662dawg]

Do we not have one pitcher that can take advantage of an early lead?

Maybe Cade gets out of this 🤷🏼🤦🏼

[HoopsDawg]

This ump has squeezed Cade on at least 3 pitches

[CaptainObvious]

These damn plate umpires have turned this series into a Little League event with these 17 inch wide strike zones. It is ridiculous!

Our starters have to throw high fastballs for swing/ Miss or off speed for swing and Miss. they will not get a called 3rd strike out unless Cade freezes the batter.

[BeardoMSU]

DP!

[R2Dawg]

Huge double, that was just a huge play in game already.

[662dawg]

Do we not have one pitcher that can take advantage of an early lead?

Maybe Cade gets out of this 🤷🏼🤦🏼

And he did. Boom.

[662dawg]

The last two games they?ve been awful

[TNDawg35]

Is it just me or does it seem the imps squeeze us in the 1st inning every game this wknd? I mean seriously…

[State82]

Sweet!!

[HoopsDawg]

Joyce hit 105 today. Holy...,

[TNDawg35]

Then the first pitch for them gets called a strike and it looked low and away…

[Commercecomet24]

Imagine the season stats if this was your home ballpark.

Hitters great, pitchers not so much lol! I'd hate pitching in this place! Any fly ball has a chance to leave!

[msstate7]

So is lane a hitter now?

[magrooder]

Forsythe singles up the middle

[magrooder]

NO WAY was Forsythe out

[magrooder]

Nevermind, ball four anyway.

[Activated Alpha]

I mean, only to us does that happen. Some of our players just seem snakebit...

[DownwardDawg]

Cade is a beast.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Forsythe should have scored on Hancocks single. James has to watch the ball get thru the infield.

[CaptainObvious]

So is lane a hitter now?

Bad luck on Tanner there. He finally goes oppo and the 1st basemen snags it for the DP. Unfortunate. Hope it doesn?t hurt us. Not getting a run with bases loaded, oofff

[R2Dawg]

Horrible base running.

[FISHDAWG]

Contact is looking good today ... that line drive out by LT only missed by two or three inches

[Activated Alpha]

Horrible base running.

Though in his defense, it was a rocket. 1st baseman just made a play

[msstate7]

Teams run on the braves on the bases like a little league game

[magrooder]

I like that Cade works quickly when he gets it going.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Corder batting about .175

[Leroy Jenkins]

As long as they are solo shots...

[PMDawg]

FB over the middle to the best HR hitter in the lineup is probably not the best strategy.

[R2Dawg]

Though in his defense, it was a rocket. 1st baseman just made a play

True but one out you can't do that.

[msstate7]

Delete

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hancock smh

[662dawg]

We have got to find at least 2 weekend starters for next year. Maybe 3 & then move Cade to Sims role.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Damn, this 8th grader for Mizzou has slapped 3 dingers this weekend?

[somebodyshotmypaw]

We have got to find at least 2 weekend starters for next year. Maybe 3 & then move Cade to Sims role.

I wouldn’t let Cade coach first base. I would rather see him on the mound.

[Activated Alpha]

Whelp, looks like this Sunday is going to go like the rest of them. Underwhelming to say the least....

[662dawg]

I wouldn’t let Cade coach first base. I would rather see him on the mound.

Old role I meant 😂

[R2Dawg]

We are gonna need 3-5 more runs.

[Leroy Jenkins]

5 pitch inning?

[Activated Alpha]

We are gonna need 3-5 more runs.

I don't feel comfortable even with that

[662dawg]

We are gonna need 3-5 more runs.

Especially after they pick up their 3-4 more here 😬

[Cooterpoot]

Damn train wreck, stupid assed baseball IQ on this team. Whether it's the coaches or the players or both, just stupid!

[GolfDawg]

Wow. Nobody covers third so runner advances. Should have probably had him at third. Then a wild pitch/passed ball. We just don't look like a good baseball team. The little things escape us.

[Thick]

It?s hard to even listen to this team??****ing shitty ass MIZZOU!!!!

[HoopsDawg]

We don't cover 3rd and it costs us a run.

[Cooterpoot]

Lemonis better get some shit fixed next season. This looks like poor coaching, effort, and focus a lot of times. It's looking more like problems other than the injuries, & that's not acceptable here.

[HoopsDawg]

Wait till next year.

[TNDawg35]

Welp, we are toast…

[Activated Alpha]

Yup, that's game

[magrooder]

High fastballs.

[msstate7]

Welp, it's almost over... this team just isn't good. Rpi doesn't lie

[Dawg2003]

This team is cooked. Even if we somehow win today, we are not making the post season.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Yup, that's game

It's the 5th...

[EdwardDrayton]

Ridiculous a pop fly leaves the ballpark

[SaintDawg]

Say Goodnight Gracie...

[CadaverDawg]

This is not good. Lemonis and company better figure it out. This ain't Mississippi State baseball, fellas

[msstate7]

Ridiculous a pop fly leaves the ballpark

Maybe we should hit some pop flies then. Wind blowing for us too

[Percho]

6 unanswered runs

[662dawg]

Especially after they pick up their 3-4 more here 😬

I didn't want this to be true but you could see it coming from a mile away. We just don't have one consistent weekend starter. How did we get in this position?

[magrooder]

Maybe we should hit some pop flies then. Wind blowing for us too

We hit pop flies when the wind is blowing IN.

[Percho]

We have a lot of unproductive at bats.

[DownwardDawg]

This is not good. Lemonis and company better figure it out. This ain't Mississippi State baseball, fellas

I agree. This is sickening. Im still hanging on hope we sneak in the tournament somehow, but this is terrible baseball and I'm nervous about next year. Two bad years in a row is unacceptable.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

You could tell early in the season this team just didnt have IT. There is leadership lacking on the field and in the dugout.

[msstate7]

I'm very petty, but our guys tapping their chest on these swing and misses makes me wanna punch a baby. Stop doing that

[R2Dawg]

Game and season in one flush.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I agree. This is sickening. Im still hanging on hope we sneak in the tournament somehow, but this is terrible baseball and I'm nervous about next year. Two bad years in a row is unacceptable.
I dont see how next year will be better. Besides Hines what do we have coming back and coming in that will make us a better team than what we are now?

[OLJWales]

MO Prolly gonna give up the fewest runs on a SEC Sunday for them this year.

[Cooterpoot]

I'm telling you, a P5 kid doesn't cover a base, I'm pulling his lazy ass. He wants to stand around and watch the game, he can buy a damn ticket.

[msstate7]

I dont see how next year will be better. Besides Hines what do we have coming back and coming in that will make us a better team than what we are now?

No idea, but if we miss the tourney 2 times in a row, lemonis might be history

[State82]

This is not good. Lemonis and company better figure it out. This ain't Mississippi State baseball, fellas
No it's not. And it is complete BS. Everyone in this field today with the exception of center and 2nd (where we definitely upgraded) had starts in Omaha. This is horseshit.

[bulldogcountry1]

Same old same old. Score early and do nothing for two hours.

[msstate7]

Now bump your chest on that

[Skydawg1]

I'm telling you, a P5 kid doesn't cover a base, I'm pulling his lazy ass. He wants to stand around and watch the game, he can buy a damn ticket.I missed it, who didn't cover?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Yeager has made some money this year.

[HoopsDawg]

Yeager has made some money this year.

where would we be without Yeager? Thank goodness we found 1 guy in the portal. Can't believe Jess Davis didn't start today.

[662dawg]

Just think if Yeager hadn't transferred in? It could have been even worse lol

[Leroy Jenkins]

I missed it, who didn't cover?

Late to cover 3rd with the shift on.

[Skydawg1]

thanks

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hancock sure hasnt been clutch this year at the plate.

[Cooterpoot]

Hancock sure hasnt been clutch this year at the plate.

SS was playing behind the bag. That ball was smashed.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm very petty, but our guys tapping their chest on these swing and misses makes me wanna punch a baby. Stop doing that

Preach. It?s become more than a little annoying.

[msstate7]

SS was playing behind the bag. That ball was smashed.

Yeah, can't get mad at a guy hitting a laser

[Ranchdawg]

They just throw it up there. No break no side to side movement just down the middle

[662dawg]

SS was playing behind the bag. That ball was smashed.

To be fair, being clutch would have been getting a hit in that situation, not hitting into a double play 🤷 it was smashed though

[DownwardDawg]

Why we changing pitchers?

[EdwardDrayton]

Maybe we should hit some pop flies then. Wind blowing for us too

Yeager hears your call

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Yeah, can't get mad at a guy hitting a laser
Not mad, but no one on this team looks to hit opposite field besides Hines. Hitting into a DP is the opposite of clutch.

[GolfDawg]

Forsythe getting singles and scoring on Yeager bombs is becoming the one consistent thing we can do lately

[HoopsDawg]

Why we changing pitchers?

No idea.

[662dawg]

Why we changing pitchers?

Pico only threw 13 pitches & had two gotten outs in this inning. Makes no sense to not let him get this last out 🤦

[GolfDawg]

Why we changing pitchers?


Must be a matchup thing, right on right. Down one run, can't afford to let KC not have a chance in this game

[KOdawg1]

I get match ups, but I would've left Pico in. He was throwing strikes and looked pretty good. Who knows what Hunt will do

[Leroy Jenkins]

Why we changing pitchers?

Becuase, you can't lose the series with your best bullpen arm sitting on the bench.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not mad, but no one on this team looks to hit opposite field besides Hines. Hitting into a DP is the opposite of clutch.

We gave up the ghost on that dream awhile ago.

[GolfDawg]

Pico only threw 13 pitches & had two gotten outs. Makes no sense to not let him get this last out ��


I thought same thing at first, but if this guy had hit a bomb on Pico we'd all be screaming about Lemonis not making the right moves (me included). KC is your best bullpen arm. Got to get him in the game while we still have a chance.

[State82]

I'm very petty, but our guys tapping their chest on these swing and misses makes me wanna punch a baby. Stop doing that

Their shoulders must look like they have been in a smoking hot dove field on opening day shooting high brass 12 ga all day.

[HoopsDawg]

I thought same thing at first, but if this guy had hit a bomb on Pico we'd all be screaming about Lemonis not making the right moves (me included). KC is your best bullpen arm. Got to get him in the game while we still have a chance.

It's KC's game now, win or lose. There is no one else you can pitch.

[Cooterpoot]

To be fair, being clutch would have been getting a hit in that situation, not hitting into a double play 🤷 it was smashed though

That's not ball. You smash a ball, that's all you can do. This ain't Dixie Youth. SS made a damn great play.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Old role I meant 😂

Hahaha. I know, I was just messing with you.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, cumbest

[magrooder]

Cumbest ties it up with a rbi double.

[Cooterpoot]

Still fighting. Should be up a run now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Cumbest shows some good patience and gets a pitch to drive!!

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ok. Tie game, I'll take KC vs who ever they have left with the series on the line.

[Cooterpoot]

Cumbest is having a damn good season. Glad he gave up football. He's going to make a little money in Baseball.

[EdwardDrayton]

No way that’s a strike

[Quaoarsking]

Called strike 3 on a pitch where the batter had to jump out of the way...

[Leroy Jenkins]

Horrible strike 3 call on Alford.

[starkvegasdawg]

So 5" off the plate is a strike now.

[Tripp McNeely]

That ball was a foot off the plate!

[R2Dawg]

No way that?s a strike

Yeah that was a ridiculous strike call

[State82]

That may be the worst plate call yet. And that is really saying something.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Cumbest is having a damn good season. Glad he gave up football. He's going to make a little money in Baseball.

He has come a long way from missing sliders by 10 inches to where he is now. Very impressed by his progress.

[Percho]

the furthest ball off the plate today called a strike.

[R2Dawg]

KC doing work again.

[OLJWales]

Cumbest is having a damn good season. Glad he gave up football. He's going to make a little money in Baseball.

Ahem.

[EdwardDrayton]

KC Hunt. Money.

[Leroy Jenkins]

KC mf'n Hunt.

[Commercecomet24]

College umps are terrible. Brutal

[662dawg]

I thought same thing at first, but if this guy had hit a bomb on Pico we'd all be screaming about Lemonis not making the right moves (me included). KC is your best bullpen arm. Got to get him in the game while we still have a chance.

I might have been mad after Pico had thrown 40 pitches. Not 13. Then brought KC in to start the 7th. It worked out so it's all good.

[CaptainObvious]

We have no one who can come off the bench in a must situation and get the job done. And yes I know the called third strike was off the plate. But Alford had 3 strikes to work with and he didn?t get it done on the pitches that were strikes.

[662dawg]

There should be accountability when they miss as bad as they did on the Alford at bat.

[Ranchdawg]

Called third strikes just really drives me nuts

[HoopsDawg]

That ball was a foot off the plate!

The ump has all of the sudden expanded his strike zone.

[Leroy Jenkins]

How many bags is that for Yeager this weekend? 30?

[GolfDawg]

Really need to get a lead now. I don't want to see a tie game go to the bottom of the ninth with this wind.

[Ranchdawg]

Wow we are going to let this kid of a pitcher beat us. Just wow

[Cooterpoot]

College umps are terrible. Brutal

Instead of changing bats and balls etc. to get more offense, go to an AI zone that's consistent every pitch and watch hitters get better.

[R2Dawg]

Pathetic

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hancock not clutch again.

[Saltydog]

Both teams have got to get this win to keep postseason hopes alive. This should be a fun game. Come on dawgs.

Ole Miss will sweep these punks this coming weekend.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Ole Miss will sweep these punks this coming weekend.

OM is so far behind us in the standings at this point they are irrelevant.

[Commercecomet24]

Instead of changing bats and balls etc. to get more offense, go to an AI zone that's consistent every pitch and watch hitters get better.

Yep, there is just absolutely no consistency with these guys. The zone changes from pitch to pitch. No one knows what's a strike and what isn't.

[OLJWales]

Instead of changing bats and balls etc. to get more offense, go to an AI zone that's consistent every pitch and watch hitters get better.

Interesting . but the strike zone would have to be redefined.

[Quaoarsking]

This umpire is a disgrace.

[magrooder]

Unf'nbelievable, another crappy called 3rd strike

[EdwardDrayton]

Powerfully bad called third strike

[Cooterpoot]

Damn this shitty ump! One at the ankles, then one under the arm pit. One under the ball sack last inning. He suuuccckksss!

[GolfDawg]

Brutal. Normally I don't feel for guys that take a close pitch with two strikes but that pitch to Brad just wasn't a strike.

[Saltydog]

Kellum ain't your guy against a lefty. He doesn't have a chance against SEC lefties.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

10 base runners stranded

[GolfDawg]

I don't like this one bit.

[Cooterpoot]

Clark is swinging at everything. Keeping trying to pull everything and you K a lot.

[Quaoarsking]

Clark is swinging at everything. Keeping trying to pull everything and you K a lot.

Yeah but this ump probably would have called that last pitch a strike anyway.

[Cooterpoot]

2-12 with RISP
4-23 with ROB

[EdwardDrayton]

Here we go …….

[State82]

Kellum ain't your guy against a lefty. He doesn't have a chance against SEC lefties.
It's awful

[magrooder]

No reason whatsoever umps should be this piss poor except they just don't give a crap enough to fix it.

[RougeDawg]

Kellum ain't your guy against a lefty. He doesn't have a chance against SEC lefties.

Because he is apparently not smart enough to realize a lefty is going to 1st pitch curve him almost every time. That first pitch he saw should have been hit 400+ feet.

[Mjoelner34]

Who didn't see that one coming? Every pitcher we have has at least one in them.

[EdwardDrayton]

And there we go …… into the night.

[magrooder]

Who didn't see that coming???

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Shitty sports year Cohen.

[Quaoarsking]

Well, fuсk.

[Activated Alpha]

There goes the season. This team is pitiful to lose to Mizzou this year

[Cooterpoot]

Well, that's the season. Play for next year now. Throw all these wild ass pitchers and let them learn on the job.

[msstate7]

Great job, lemonis.

[maroonmania]

Season Over. Time to move on to football.

[Saltydog]

You're lying if you say you didn't see it coming........Hell, I'll for one be glad when this bullshit is over..........

[Quaoarsking]

Great job, lemonis.

Hard to blame him too hard today with this godawful umpire. But yeah, it's going to be tough to battle back from this one.

[662dawg]

Well, that's the season. Play for next year now. Throw all these wild ass pitchers and let them learn on the job.

Yep. Gotta play the younger guys now. This team is toast.

[SilentSteel16]

I know it doesn’t matter but….. I am not sure he touched home plate

[WSOPdawg]

I love the sport, but this MSU diamond team has become one of my most hated State teams to pull for of all time. And looking at the roster, I can't see how the team next year is in position to host one of the 16 regionals.

Just un-damn-believable.

[EdwardDrayton]

At least we won’t have any expectations for the remaining games.

[maroonmania]

Missouri owns us in baseball with 4 of the last 6. Pathetic. A school that doesn't even know they have a team.

[EdwardDrayton]

Season Over. Time to move on to football.

Wish I were confident there’s something to move on to.

[Dawg2003]

At least this puts the season out of its misery, and we can all move on. Unfortunately, football is next.

[maroonmania]

Wish I were confident there’s something to move on to.

Well, not sure, but at least when any season starts there's some hope. This baseball team is done.

[HoopsDawg]

Yep. Gotta play the younger guys now. This team is toast.

There's no one to play. We are going to have to hit 3-4 home runs in the portal.

[EdwardDrayton]

There were claims of parity in the SEC after Tennessee. Unfortunately we’re not in that group.

[CadaverDawg]

Wish I were confident there’s something to move on to.

Yeah, move on from a punch in the gut to a kick in the nuts. Can't wait.

[EdwardDrayton]

Well, not sure, but at least when any season starts there's some hope. This baseball team is done.

Hope before the season. The manna of every Mississippi State fan alive.

[msstate7]

Hard to blame him too hard today with this godawful umpire. But yeah, it's going to be tough to battle back from this one.

This was a top 10 team that won't make postseason. Who should shoulder the blame?

[Activated Alpha]

Just pathetic. Absolutely pathetic to lose to a team like Mizzou. When is the next time we play them because I want our coach to circle that weekend and make damn sure we sweep them while running up the score.

[Quaoarsking]

This was a top 10 team that won't make postseason. Who should shoulder the blame?

The buck stops with Lemonis. I was just referring to today, not the whole season. And to be fair, we've had extremely bad luck with our pitching injuries this year, though that shouldn't have knocked us completely out.

[BayouDawg]

Missing post season 2 years in a row is a real possibility. Lemonis better get his ass in gear this off season. 2 piss poor years in a row and all the goodwill from the natty will be used up.

[KOdawg1]

Hey look on the bright side. At least we know the season is over now instead of having to wait until UF and A&M beat us. Rip the band aid off now.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

MSU Baseball season ended by Josh Day from Natchez Mississippi.

[BeardoMSU]

Hey look on the bright side. At least we know the season is over now instead of having to wait until UF and A&M beat us. Rip the band aid off now.

Maybe we'll sweep them both***

There goes the season. This team is pitiful to lose to Mizzou this year


Great job, lemonis.


Well, that's the season. Play for next year now. Throw all these wild ass pitchers and let them learn on the job.

When is the last time a defending CWS Champion didn't even make a postseason? And if this is the first time, why did we ever think it wouldn't be us. It is soooooo "Mississippi State."

Apathy. Alcohol. Resignation. None of these time honored "painkillers" are having any effect on how much this blows.

I hope Lemon knows he has not "arrived." Last year seems more like lightning in a bottle every inning I watch of this abortion of a season. Although, any championship run is catching lightning in a bottle to some degree of course.

[BayouDawg]

I know UCLA missed post season the year after they beat us for the title. But still this year has been an abomination. Walked into the season entitled and got our shit pushed in all season long. Needs to be some reality checks this off season.

Arizona, UCLA, and Coastal Carolina just in the last decade.

[Quaoarsking]

Maybe we'll sweep them both***

We basically have to. If we win 2/3 in each of the next 2 weekends, both of which would be great accomplishments, we're 13-14 heading into Tennessee needing at least 1, probably 2.

Its actually happened quite a number of times. Certainly not as unusual as most would think.

[EdwardDrayton]

Time to chuck it in the f**k it bucket and move on. Vernacularly he said.

[State82]

This was a top 10 team that won't make postseason. Who should shoulder the blame?

It absolutely stops at one person's desk. NC to .500 ball in conference would be understandable if we lost the majority of position players. Pitching be damned, although it's certainly not good, but the handling of shitty plate discipline/approach is why we are now incapable of making NCAA postseason. And at well over $1,000,000 per, this is inexcusable.

Um, I'm not saying we're going to do any of that...

Just that if we did, it's probably still not enough.

[maroonmania]

I assume that is Missouri's only SEC series win of the year?

Oh I know Q. Sorry. Didn’t mean to imply anything on your part. Just in general if folks still believe that’s likely they are not tied to reality.

[Quaoarsking]

However, every single player and coach better believe that we will do it. In fact, they better be expecting 9-0 and play like it next weekend.

Because I'm just here drowning my baseball sorrows with other MSU fans. I assumed but I guess it really doesn't matter at this point. Good news is that MSU fans can now plan summer vacations without worrying about post-season baseball interfering.

This team is gonna fold

[Todd4State]

Scott Foxhall.

[ImissCityBagel]

well we fought hard this season there is always next year.

[Todd4State]

Surprising that it has happened that often.

[EdwardDrayton]

Scott Foxhall.

Certainly an argument for that Todd but think more of it lies with Gaut first and to a lesser degree Foxhall. Ultimately though it’s all Lemonis because he’s responsible.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not sure they’ll fold but certainly we will get more of the same inconsistency.

[BeardoMSU]

Where optimism meets delusion.

I used sarcasteriscs, dude.

[Quaoarsking]

This team is gonna fold

I doubt it. I expect us to fight hard and win 4 of our last 9 games to finish 13-17, which won't get us in the field with our terrible RPI.

[EdwardDrayton]

I used sarcasteriscs, dude.

I know not this sarcasteriscs of which you speak. Is that a French word?!!? **** LOL!

[State82]

I'm figuring 4-5 at very best in the last three series.

Scratch that. 3-6.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm figuring 4-5 at very best in the last three series.

Thinking 60% probability of four, most likely with three wins against FL & A&M and one against TN. Five a very low probability after the loss today.

[EdwardDrayton]

I'm figuring 4-5 at very best in the last three series.

Yeah. Three is a definite possibility too although hope we have more fight in us than that.

[basedog]

I was wrong about today and winning 2 this weekend. I’m not sure how many we left on base but clutch hitting is not in the cards for this team.

And the inability to just put the ball in play after a leadoff double. At least have a productive out to get the runner to 3rd with one out. Just unable to execute the little things all year.

That DP from Logan with bases loaded ****ing hurt. With the meat of our order there, should've blown it open there.

Forsythe not scoring from 2nd on the base hit right before was one run and then I think James not making the ball get thru the infield on the line drive is stuff that you learn in 7th grad jr high baseball.

We're just not good. Guys we all expected to make a jump didn't...which is obviously worrisome.

[The Federalist Engineer]

"Worrisome" is for March games. In May, "team sucks" is the right term. Just my opinion as a toddler to adulthood MSU baseball fan, this team plain sucks by MSU's mighty baseball standards. You are who your record says you are. MSU has plenty of company as a basket case team. Most of the SEC is just like MSU.

Yeah, the injury and the pitching disaster has hurt, but the team only had a 6-6 record with Sims still playing. Yeah Stinnett is hurt, but please go find Stinnett comments before the injury. Moving on to 2023, that is "worrisome" cause Lemonis is going to be pillaging mid majors for decent players all summer.

[CaptainObvious]

There's no one to play. We are going to have to hit 3-4 home runs in the portal.

Kind of crazy to think but Homeruns are the cryptonite for this team. 5 guys have 12 or more and only one-Yeager, doesn?t actually TRY to hit one every at bat. Kind of Crazy to believe this team will likely end up with over 100 HRs, but with a team BA in the low .270?s, and in the bottom 4 in the SEC in RBI. HR hitters strike out more and pop out more because their swing plane is constantly upward at contact or as they swing and miss. But HR hitters also take a lot of called 3rd strikes too because they are waiting for the perfect fastball and can?t pull the trigger on a pitch 3 inches inside or outside.

Yep-ok to swing for the fences until 2 strikes---then you must have a 2 strike-approach. shorten up and protect the plate.

[Saltydog]

They're two games behind us. If they sweep and we screw around and lose 2 to UF we are tied. That's not too far behind.

For SEC-only stats as of 5/1 we were: 4th in batting average, 2nd in slugging, 5th in on-base %, tied for 3rd in runs scored, 1st in hits, 3rd in rbi's, 2nd in HR and 2nd in total bases. Hitting/scoring isn't the largest part of our problem. That being said, the bad offensive numbers are lack of walks (8th), K's (5th) and Sac Flies (10th). Meanwhile on the other side, we're 12th in ERA, 7th in opp. batting avg., 12th in runs allowed, 14th in walks, 10th in doubles allowed, tied for 12th in HR allowed, 10th in wild pitches, 3rd in hit batters (1st is worst).

We were shut out in one of the losses with Sims and then the bullpen didn't perform in the other. I think over the course of the year Sims would have been an All-SEC performer when healthy.

More than that we lost Simmons who was dominant as well. And he is a multiple inning guy. And with Sims hurt that means that Brandon Smith is in the rotation instead of being another multiple inning guy or midweek starter. Auger was a good find as well and now he's out.

I agree with you on Stinnett.

Seems Ole Miss to me to say that the season was over with Sims. Certainly, Omaha or Supers were a stretch without Sims. But we are talking no SECT now. MSU has lost aces before, Arkansas lost an Ace, look at them. Freshman Brady Tygart is already closing games like Kopps.

Next year is worrisome for sure. Let's hope the sophomores make a big leap. There is a big recruiting class in 2023, but how quickly will freshman deliver and there's always a draft to factor-in.

[Saltydog]

Scott Foxhall.

Meh, there's plenty of blame to go around without it being blamed on one guy and that's from Lemonis down......
