AZ State Game 1

[DawgFromOxford]

Guess I'll get a game thread going.

Tough start for Cade so far. Gives up a home run to the first man up and then a 4 pitch walk. Foxhall visiting the mound

[msstate7]

Man, I'm trying to be optimistic, but it appears lemonis has destroyed our program

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Pitches so far: FB was supposed to be low and away, he almost hit the batter. 2nd pitch: FB down the middle, lucky it was hooked foul. 3rd pitch" supposed to be low and away curve that he left chest hight down the middle for a homer. 4 straight balls. Now he works the count full and throws 92 right down the middle chest high for an easy single.

We in trouble boys

ALso 2 defensive mistakes before an out is recorded lol

[Activated Alpha]

Ouch. This is going to be a rough weekend

[HoopsDawg]

Miss cut off man. Passed ball. Nice start.

[parabrave]

Ugggg. What good did Foxhall do??

[PMDawg]

Can't even get out of the first without blowing up. There's just no one on this team who has it. We don't even compete. Well, at least I can turn it off and not torture myself now. I've got to go coach some 11 and 12 year olds this evening who can actually throw strikes anyway.

[maroonmania]

This team is so fundamentally unsound its ridiculous. Pitching sucks, missing cutoff men, passed balls, etc.

[CaptainObvious]

Junior high quality pitching starting on a Friday night for an SEC team.

[662dawg]

This is really bad. Now Cade isn't even starting pitcher material. Time to put the freshmen in the weekend rotation & if Foxhall goes anywhere near them the next few years you chop his arms off.

[preachermatt83]

Guess I'll get a game thread going.

Tough start for Cade so far. Gives up a home run to the first man up and then a 4 pitch walk. Foxhall visiting the mound

If Cade is our best pitcher we need to be worried. He?s a good pitcher. But Friday night guy in the sec? I don?t think so.

[HoopsDawg]

ASU went out and got 21 players from the portal and junior college. We are going to have to go in that direction.

[maroonmania]

And make matters worse, this ump apparently has no strike zone on the outside corner.

[Activated Alpha]

Now Cade can?t even throw strikes. I mean honestly what worse could happen if we fire foxhall after this weekend? We going to magically throw strikes?

[preachermatt83]

This!!! Cinjardj (sp) needs to be our Friday night guy

[magrooder]

These AZ batters are taking some huge swings

[parabrave]

And make matters worse, this ump apparently has no strike zone on the outside corner.

Not a good thing for a Pitching coach who likes to live there.

[maroonmania]

This is disgusting, bad when you can't even enjoy watching an MSU baseball game any more.

[Cooterpoot]

17 Foxhall!

[msstate7]

3-0 is pretty good considering... hit the ball

[PMDawg]

This is really bad. Now Cade isn't even starting pitcher material. Time to put the freshmen in the weekend rotation & if Foxhall goes anywhere near them the next few years you chop his arms off.

We can change pitchers all we want. Go get 5 new ones. We could have Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Randy Johnson, and Roger Clemens in their prime and it wouldn't matter. Foxhall would ruin them all.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Lemo has killed this team. If you told me FOxhall spends all day telling these kids "you have the worst stuff I've ever seen you're going to get shelled in a real game", I'd believe it. He makes nobody better, and it seems like the longer a pitcher stays here the more of a headcase they become who are scared to pound the zone. Add Cade to the list of pitchers he's actively made WORSE

Defensively, you have to blame Lemo entirely. From thinking Hancock could catch, to Clark not extending his leg on a slide, errors all over the place... after finishing 14th last year you'd think itt would be easy to get the guys pissed off and hungry to prove they dont' suck, but I guess not. We do not look focused or like we take this seriously

[662dawg]

And make matters worse, this ump apparently has no strike zone on the outside corner.

Nope. No corners whatsoever

[662dawg]

Now Cade can?t even throw strikes. I mean honestly what worse could happen if we fire foxhall after this weekend? We going to magically throw strikes?

And he was one of the ones we use to could rely on to throw strikes. I'm now sold that it has to be Foxhall.

[DawgFromOxford]

To the bottom of the 1st we go. Down 3-0 and Cade has thrown 32 pitches...

[maroonmania]

Not a good thing for a Pitching coach who likes to live there.

For all out pitching woes, there is no doubt that a lot of pitches that have always been strikes are apparently no longer strikes in college baseball.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Getting out of the first ONLY giving up 3 is honestly a miracle. They had bases loaded with no outs already up 2-0

[662dawg]

We can change pitchers all we want. Go get 5 new ones. We could have Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine, Randy Johnson, and Roger Clemens in their prime and it wouldn't matter. Foxhall would ruin them all.

That's why I said don't dare let him anywhere near the freshmen pitchers.

[MadDawg]

Probably going to have to score in the high teens to win one this weekend.

[Cooterpoot]

Getting out of the first ONLY giving up 3 is honestly a miracle. They had bases loaded with no outs already up 2-0

A warmer day and they hit a grand slam and it's ugly as hell.

[SaintDawg]

looks like we are going to have to score 15+ runs every game to make up for shit pitching.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Now, lets see if we can count the number of transfers ASU has that would have really helped us but we didn't even pursue. This Friday night lefty from FSU is on the radar

[Activated Alpha]

Well crap. Our first three guys couldn?t get it done. Larry should have advanced to 2nd on the ball dropped by the catcher

[HoopsDawg]

Jordan hits a ball 460 and we move him down. Not sure Chance is a 3 hole guy.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

How much does ASU's coach make? Is he into obese women? Does he hate Target and tired of living near one? asking for a friend

[StarkVegasSteve]

Now, lets see if we can count the number of transfers ASU has that would have really helped us but we didn't even pursue. This Friday night lefty from FSU is on the radar

You can start with their starter. FSU transfer. Locates well, although I'm sure Foxhall would "fix" that.

[maroonmania]

THAT was a strikeout! What is the deal with these umpires?

[StarkVegasSteve]

How much does ASU's coach make? Is he into obese women? Does he hate Target and tired of living near one? asking for a friend


I just looked him up and happened to see he made 360K. As for the rest, he's a 13 year MLB vet so doubt he's into fat women and he's spent his entire life outside of 09-10 on the west coast. Also, a ASU alum.

[Activated Alpha]

Going to have to throw it down the chute with this ump

[DawgFromOxford]

Well we're screwed. Ump has a strike zone the size of shoe box

[StarkVegasSteve]

Good god, just go get him. It's embarrassing for the kid and the team. He just doesn't have it today.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well we're screwed. Ump has a strike zone the size of shoe box

For our pitchers. For theirs it's normal.

[Activated Alpha]

Good god, just go get him. It's embarrassing for the kid and the team. He just doesn't have it today.

Honestly this ump is squeezing him tighter than Clinton did with Lewinsky

[parabrave]

Jeez/

[StarkVegasSteve]

Honestly this ump is squeezing him tighter than Clinton did with Lewinsky

Damn....had to give you some rep on that one

[maroonmania]

If this ump is consistent then our guys need to take a LOT of pitches because there will be a lot of walks.

[Activated Alpha]

Now 5-0. Cade literally has to pitch meatballs or this ump won?t call anything

[RockyDog]

Lol. You club fans are going to have a long summer. Good thing it is still basketball season.

[DawgFromOxford]

Cade gives up another 2 run shot

[MadDawg]

Damn Dishnetwork will not authenticate on watch espn so I can't even get it to pull up. I guess that's a blessing in disguise.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

It is a crime Foxhall was retained another year. These pitchers should sue. The fact last season happened and Lemo brought Fox back should be all we need to cite for "reasons for termination"

[Activated Alpha]

Damn Dishnetwork will not authenticate on watch espn so I can't even get it to pull up. I guess that's a blessing in disguise.

Att won?t either so I switched to my phone. You might just want to give up on this one

[DawgFromOxford]

Coaches need to go get Cade. It's clear the ump is in his head at this point with the small zone

[maroonmania]

Guys, this is going to be a long, long, bad season.

[R2Dawg]

Wow. I haven't said anything about Foxall and I don't know anything about how he coaches pitchers but it looks like he has to go and soon. We are on the verge of being the laughing stock of college baseball.

[Mjoelner34]

This is really bad. Now Cade isn't even starting pitcher material. Time to put the freshmen in the weekend rotation & if Foxhall goes anywhere near them the next few years you chop his arms off.

No. Let the vets have Fridays when we're facing the ace of the other team. Let our freshmen try to take Saturday and Sunday. No need to waste our best pitchers in a game where we're less likely to score runs. Getting beat 10-2 counts the same as getting beat 3-2.

[Cooterpoot]

Blaming the ump would be accurate if ASU was struggling too. At this point, I hope somebody goes on the field and punches Foxhall in the mouth.

[662dawg]

Only gave up two runs in the 2nd so that's an improvement.

[PMDawg]

That's why I said don't dare let him anywhere near the freshmen pitchers.

Yeah, well who's our other option?

[msstate7]

I'm beginning to hate watching our team play bc of that bumping their chest toward the dugout on every foul/swing and miss

[maroonmania]

Take some dang pitches! This guy isn't throwing strikes either but we have no plate discipline.

[MadDawg]

Att won?t either so I switched to my phone. You might just want to give up on this one

Best advice I've got all day.

[msstate7]

Did foxhall pitchers struggle before last season? I know we pitched it well on the way to our natty and we hired him bc of success at prior stop

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I love how vs the an extremely tight zone and a pitcher on a low count our hitters still find way to chase balls, get behind in counts, take defensive swings, and let the starter average 13 pitches an inning. Like we have zero feel of the game at all. No focus even from the coaches or they'd have told the hitters to adjust before this inning

[The Federalist Engineer]

Man, I'm trying to be optimistic, but it appears lemonis has destroyed our program

We need you to stay positive. That way, you can say "told you so" to the rest of us.

[msstate7]

WTF are we DHing a LHH vs a LHP? Thought lemonis was a Recruiter

[maroonmania]

Blaming the ump would be accurate if ASU was struggling too. At this point, I hope somebody goes on the field and punches Foxhall in the mouth.

We swing at everything so the ump isn't a factor for our opponent. Hines just struck out on a ball in the dirt.

[msstate7]

We need you to stay positive. That way, you can say "told you so" to the rest of us.

What have I told you? I thought lemonis was good, but I think now I was wrong

[maroonmania]

We are a very poorly coached team. In every aspect.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I love how vs the an extremely tight zone and a pitcher on a low count our hitters still find way to chase balls, get behind in counts, take defensive swings, and let the starter average 13 pitches an inning. Like we have zero feel of the game at all

Same versus VMI, they got 8 walks, MSU got 2 after the 1st inning. MSU would have scored 30 runs had they just not-swung

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Saw 2 Auburn fans on Reddit say he was bad for them. Statistically his staff at NC State was good. But then he left and they were quickly in the CWS so IDK how much was him vs good talent and HC

[parabrave]

4 of our `1st 6 ABs have been Strikeouts.

[DawgFromOxford]

Why we are swinging at anything other than a fastball down the middle is beyond unbelievable. The ump literally won't call anything else a strike

[maroonmania]

ASU just gave us an out because the leadoff guy was headed for another walk.

[maroonmania]

Why we are swinging at anything other than a fastball down the middle is beyond unbelievable. The ump literally won't call anything else a strike

Because our coaches are sitting on their asses I guess.

[msstate7]

4 of our `1st 6 ABs have been Strikeouts.

A lineup that Ks too much and a staff that walks too many is a recipe to have an empty stadium before too long

[PMDawg]

Did foxhall pitchers struggle before last season? I know we pitched it well on the way to our natty and we hired him bc of success at prior stop

Do you not remember Macleoud, fristoe, and cerentola from our NC season? They all regressed as the season went on. We just had enough talent and leadership to gut it out anyway.

[Cooterpoot]

We swing at everything so the ump isn't a factor for our opponent. Hines just struck out on a ball in the dirt.

They have a pitcher with better stuff. We have no coaching and a bunch of fragile pussies.

[maroonmania]

Seems like every opponent we play always has twice the runs that they have hits. Disgusting .

[Mjoelner34]

WTF are we DHing a LHH vs a LHP? Thought lemonis was a Recruiter

I was wondering the same thing.

[HoopsDawg]

A lineup that Ks too much and a staff that walks too many is a recipe to have an empty stadium before too long

Got that right. My old travel coach would make everyone take 2 strikes against this pitcher with this ump. His change up dives out of the zone every time.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Now, we've had 15 outs to see the umps zone is tight. We've had 2 innings to watch our hitters swing at balls. Every one of us and the announcers have noticed. If the coaches dont' tell the hitters to tack pitches, they aren't paying attention to the game at all

[maroonmania]

They have a pitcher with better stuff. We have no coaching and a bunch of fragile pussies.

Just as likely their hitters know what they should be swinging at and what they shouldn't.

[662dawg]

Highfill is a gamer

[maroonmania]

Is Bryce Chance not in the lineup? He has the highest average on the team. Hines should be sitting.

[SaintDawg]

Show of hands that we get swept this weekend?

[Cooterpoot]

Just as likely their hitters know what they should be swinging at and what they shouldn't.

Either way, they're better than us to this point.

[The Federalist Engineer]

What have I told you? I thought lemonis was good, but I think now I was wrong

Just messing with you - I never see you post something too negative is all.

[Cooterpoot]

Is Bryce Chance not in the lineup? He has the highest average on the team. Hines should be sitting.

Hit into DP earlier. 3 hole today.

[662dawg]

Is Bryce Chance not in the lineup? He has the highest average on the team. Hines should be sitting.

Yes. Hit in a double play first inning

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

2 pop ups on 1 strike counts. Great work guys

[maroonmania]

Either way, they're better than us to this point.

Who's not better than us at this point?

[maroonmania]

Yes. Hit in a double play first inning

OK, missed that. I assumed Hines was DH. Is Chance in the field?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

And a weak ground out on a 2-1 count. All 3 outs recorded with 1 strike. GOod to know our coaches have no Fing clue what's going on in this game. Every hitter should have been told to keep the bat on theri shoulder till they had 2 strikes

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im out on Lemonis and staff. Its time. It?s very similar to Moorhead but he managed to not screw up as bad. This is absolutely embarrassing. We dont do anything right. All we do consistently is be cute

[maroonmania]

Watching this team I can truly say that right now we are worse than last year.

[archdog]

How does foxall still have a job? We have to lead the power 5 in shitty starts, bb, and allowed stolen bases.

[msstate7]

Will our new AD have the balls to fire our only national champion coach? I really hope he does. Lemonis has destroyed this program

[maroonmania]

OK, here's KC to put out the fire.****

[Saltydog]

Boys, boys, boys........Gonna be a long, frustrating year.........Got one catcher that can't throw, got another that can't block balls (Highfill w/4 pb's already).......Our best returning hitter from last year is batting .100, pitchers that cant throw effing strikes.........We're a freaking mess and it's embarrassing........

[BuckyIsAB****]

Will our new AD have the balls to fire our only national champion coach? I really hope he does. Lemonis has destroyed this program

I normally try to defend coaches but Lemonis is Moorhead 2.0. GoTro Cheese and Fox included. This is unacceptable. Our kids have tuned them out

[662dawg]

No way we're going with KC Hunt here 😭😂🤣

[msstate7]

Maybe we should let lemonis go hang out with Kermit Davis this weekend

[Cooterpoot]

I normally try to defend coaches but Lemonis is Moorhead 2.0. GoTro Cheese and Fox included. This is unacceptable. Our kids have tuned them out

Fat coaches never work out

[GreenheadDawg]

No excuse we should be this bad. This team is straight ass.

[msstate7]

I normally try to defend coaches but Lemonis is Moorhead 2.0. GoTro Cheese and Fox included. This is unacceptable. Our kids have tuned them out

Lemonis isn't that bad. Unlike Moorhead, lemonis can win with a good team. Lemonis just can't build shit

[BuckyIsAB****]

It would be one thing if we competed. We aint even close to fighting anyone

[BuckyIsAB****]

Lemonis isn't that bad. Unlike Moorhead, lemonis can win with a good team. Lemonis just can't build shit

Well man that is a huge part of coaching. Anyone can say go play

[cheewgumm]

Lemoniz needs to find a way to get thrown out.


Need to light a fire.

[msstate7]

Well man that is a huge part of coaching. Anyone can say go play

Moorhead ruined a ready to win team. Lemonis won with his ready to win team. Lemonis' building skills remind me of my 1-year-old nephew playing with Lincoln logs

[BuckyIsAB****]

Moorhead ruined a ready to win team. Lemonis won with his ready to win team. Lemonis' building skills remind me of my 1-year-old nephew playing with Lincoln logs

The whole staff is responsible. And players. There is no leadership hasnt been for over a year

[HoopsDawg]

Moorhead ruined a ready to win team. Lemonis won with his ready to win team. Lemonis' building skills remind me of my 1-year-old nephew playing with Lincoln logs

Lemonis got us to Omaha just like Henderson, Cann and Cohen did. Then TA, Sims, and Bednar got us the win.

[Cooterpoot]

Lemoniz needs to find a way to get thrown out.


Need to light a fire.

His ass is stuck in the bucket.

[Saltydog]

Guess I'll get a game thread going.

Tough start for Cade so far. Gives up a home run to the first man up and then a 4 pitch walk. Foxhall visiting the mound

Shocker, Hunt can't throw strikes.....

[maroonmania]

Another bad throw on the DP attempt cost us another run. Our pitching is bad but defense is almost as bad to go with it.

[msstate7]

Forsythe needs to be gone

[BeardoMSU]

Bathtub. Drain.

[maroonmania]

And Forsythe makes another blunder

[BuckyIsAB****]

Quick summary. We have pitchers that can?t pitch, catcher that couldn?t throw, infielders that can?t throw or hit, best 2 hitters are transfers bc we haven developed anyone, and everyone else just wants to hit a homer or K.


I have seen enough

[HoopsDawg]

Not an error on the grounder to Alford but it has cost us 2 runs and counting

[msstate7]

That DP attempt by us looked like a HS team, and then our garbage SS did garbage things

[Saltydog]

That's an error on foam bat.........What's that, 5 on the year.........

[No BS Dawg]

This is some of the worst pitching I?ve ever seen in the maroon and white. Last year had some things that could be excused, not this year. Just atrocious.

[662dawg]

How was that not ruled an error on Forsythe?

To be fair to KC he's pitched well enough to have gotten out of the inning not giving up any runs.

[HoopsDawg]

And Forsythe makes another blunder

I'm signing off. Expecting to get swept.

[BeardoMSU]

So now Lane's defense has regressed. Wtf.

This is like watching a rec league full of drunk dudes, except its not fun for anyone....'cept our opponents

2021 feels like a lifetime ago....

[Mjoelner34]

That's an error on foam bat.........What's that, 5 on the year.........

He had another on the board for a couple of innings this weekend when his throw pulled Larry off of the bag but it mysteriously vanished a couple of innings later.

[HoopsDawg]

How was that not ruled an error on Forsythe?

To be fair to KC he's pitched well enough to have gotten out of the inning not giving up any runs.

I wonder about our official scorekeeper nearly every game.

[Saltydog]

I wonder about our official scorekeeper nearly every game.

He and Forsythe should both be drug tested?

[Activated Alpha]

Told you guys the 2nd game of the season was most telling. I am most excited for our young players. I?m not quite sure I am excited to see Lemonis coach them. I am definitely not excited seeing Foxhall after this weekend

[HoopsDawg]

He and Forsythe should both be drug tested?

Wow he took his error off the board. Wow.

[662dawg]

How the hell does Hancock not score there? Now we probably won't score.

[Mjoelner34]

Wow he took his error off the board. Wow.

Yep. It took a little while for it to pop up (like well into the next at bat) then it stayed a couple of innings then it was gone.

ETA: bold

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Good to know we're hitting weak pop ups on 1-0 counts and chasing balls in the dirt for strike 3 even... when down 7

That's the thing, it's not even that we're awful in every way... it's that we aren't trying. they just seem over it. Coaches aren't making adjustments, hitters seem like they're trying to get the AB over with quickly, defense doesn't seem pissed off at themselves after mistakes like they should be. Just no effort

[BuckyIsAB****]

God bless the people that come the rest of the year, bc I aint

[Mjoelner34]

Take some pitches Highfill!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

At least Jordan knows how to draw a walk. He must not listen to his coaching ***

[msstate7]

Tenn is sucking too. What the heck is going on with them?

[Saltydog]

These guys are done. You can see them hanging their heads already. Highfill couldn't have hit that if it was a beach ball.

[BeardoMSU]

A lot of blame on the pitching coach...when is it acceptable to start looking at the hitting coach?

[Mjoelner34]

A lot of blame on the pitching coach...when is it acceptable to start looking at the hitting coach?

Its been acceptable since mid-March last year.

[msstate7]

A lot of blame on the pitching coach...when is it acceptable to start looking at the hitting coach?

Our suck level is well rounded

[HoopsDawg]

2-0 curve to the 9 hole? What am I watching

[CaptainObvious]

This team isn?t even the 15th best team in the SEC

[Saltydog]

A lot of blame on the pitching coach...when is it acceptable to start looking at the hitting coach?

I'm looking at all of them, from the head man on down.......

[Bothrops]

Arizona State is a more talented team, but we don't seem to be mentally prepared to play unless we're coming off a loss. This isn't working out.

[archdog]

If I watch one more hitter tap his chest after a second called strike, to proceed on only to watch the third strike called down the pipe??

Also, Jim Ellis needs to let listeners know when the pitch is coming and the result of the pitch. I swear last game he totally missed multiple pitches and their results. Lane was up 2-0 and the next called pitch by Jim was a full count strikeout to end the inning. Who the 17 is in charge of our athletic department, because this shit cannot stand. Hitting, pitching, coaching, and the radio guys. Get your shit together.

[BeardoMSU]

We dont do anything we'll. Jfc.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Cohen did it again

[HoopsDawg]

Lol. They ruled that a hit. That's 4 errors that haven't been charged.

[ZedFedder]

Lemonis May not survive.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol. They ruled that a hit. That's 4 errors that haven't been charged.

Omg, lol.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Lemonis May not survive.

Hes not

[662dawg]

I've seen enough. Time to fire every coach & start over. We are doing things my little league teams wouldn't even do.

[662dawg]

Lol. They ruled that a hit. That's 4 errors that haven't been charged.

That was a tough play to make but probably should have been made.

[Saltydog]

Damnit........No 10 run rule in effect this weekend.........I'd like to see us get put out of our misery tonight.....It's excruciatingly painful to watch........

[Cooterpoot]

A culture of garbage play and parties

[HoopsDawg]

That was a tough play to make but probably should have been made.

It was medium difficulty. You cant give a hit there. Not fair to Hunt.

[BuckyIsAB****]

A culture of garbage play and parties

Correct

[Randolph Dupree]

Geeze. We suck.

[HoopsDawg]

Good talk Fox.

[CaptainObvious]

Since I sell Real Estate, I am going to go ahead and call Lemonis and Foxhall and ask if they want me to represent them selling their houses. Get the bell rolling early.

[Mjoelner34]

I hope he burns Stinnett now so we won't have to worry about him in what may be a closer game Saturday or Sunday.

[BeardoMSU]

Embarrassing.

[Ranchdawg]

Walk two runs in what the h@&* this is so bad. I?m so disappointed and angry 😡

[ZedFedder]

This is all on Foxhall because it?s apparent he?s ruined more than a few talented pitchers. KC Hunt, Cade Smith, Cerantola, MacLeod, etc

[msstate7]

That lemonis is one hell of a recruiter sigh

[msstate7]

This is all on Foxhall because it?s apparent he?s ruined more than a few talented pitchers. KC Hunt, Cade Smith, Cerantola, MacLeod, etc

He coach offense and defense too?

[msstate7]

Foxhall seems to be the one that catches all the blame here. Never understood blaming anyone but the guy in charge.

[ImissCityBagel]

Rebuild

[ZedFedder]

He coach offense and defense too?

I should have been more clear. I meant strictly pitching is on him, not the players.

[662dawg]

Lazy effort by Luke there. From the best I could tell anyways.

[Ranchdawg]

Gotro hitting instructions again is raising its ugly head again this year. Just like last year.

[State82]

Foxhall seems to be the one that catches all the blame here. Never understood blaming anyone but the guy in charge.
This shit falls at the feet of one person. You don't have to look far for the applicable accountability.

[msstate7]

Show you still care lemonis... ph for forsthye

[DawgFromOxford]

I took a break from the game to see if that would bring us some luck. Turn it back on just in time to see Chance watching a ball roll right past him into the corner

[662dawg]

Tapper looks pretty good. Throws strikes. We aren't used to that.

[archdog]

Foxhall seems to be the one that catches all the blame here. Never understood blaming anyone but the guy in charge.

Well, pitching is the reason we suck. He is the pitching coach. We are getting out pitched by lifelong ERA 6.0 guys from ASU. There is an issue.

[HoopsDawg]

Wouldn't this be a great time to let Hujsak play SS?

[archdog]

So Lane Forsyth still being a starter after 3 seasons now where he hasn?t proved he can field or bat, is baffling. Lane is about to strike out as I type this. Bet.

Nope, got lucky in a new pitcher not figuring it out fast enough. Be Amani keeps his bat on his shoulder here. Bet.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Tapper looks pretty good. Throws strikes. We aren't used to that.

Someone cut a highlight promo of all the Fr so we can entice a new coach

[Bothrops]

This is a sign if there ever was one. This program needs to be revamped. It's headed into the drain

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

So Lane Forsyth still being a starter after 3 seasons now where he hasn?t proved he can field or bat, is baffling. Lane is about to strike out as I type this. Bet.

He was really good defensively He's actively gotten worse

[Cooterpoot]

Foxhall seems to be the one that catches all the blame here. Never understood blaming anyone but the guy in charge.

It's becoming very apparent it's the whole damn staff. Culture is bad.

[Mjoelner34]

Someone cut a highlight promo of all the Fr so we can entice a new coach

I wonder if our job will be more appealing this time around since the new coach won't have to answer to the IB.

[archdog]

Nothing like hitting an easy grounder into a 543 with our lead off walk.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

This is worse than Canns USM opening weekend. I guarantee you by Sunday we will have been swept by more than that series, and have made 2x the errors too

[Dawg2003]

We actually look worse than last year.

[mparkerfd20]

We are gonna have to fire Lemo and start over. It is the only acceptable thing as this point. **** him, **** Geautreau and **** Foxhall. They've ruined a once proud program in less than 2 years.

[archdog]

Ump gives the pitcher 4 inches off inside. Now Ledbetter has to protect against the other box.

[archdog]

Has anyone mentioned to our pitchers they are supposed to fill up the zone and mix their pitches?

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

We actually look worse than last year.

because we are. Worse defense, worse pitching, less effort. No injury excuses, and no "well we thought X player would take a step forward, so we didn't seek out a transfer" excuse either. and no CWS "hangover" either. There is no excuse at all to be this bad. Lemo's guys, Lemos staff, lemos offseason = this shitshow

[archdog]

Cool, our pitcher comes out and 4 pitch walks the first guy. Nice.

[Mjoelner34]

Ball 6

[archdog]

Tapper finally finds the zone and gets a fly out.

[archdog]

Ball one to the hitter. Our pitchers have been behind in the count to 20 straight batters. 2-0 count now.

[maroonmania]

Well, pitching is the reason we suck. He is the pitching coach. We are getting out pitched by lifelong ERA 6.0 guys from ASU. There is an issue.

Its not the only reason we suck though. Defense has been terrible so far this season. And yes, we've scored a lot of runs outside of today, but we have primarily faced second rate college pitchers. I'm not sure we are good in any aspect at this point

You are probably correct.

[archdog]

Can we not pitch hit for Highfill?

[Activated Alpha]

Aight so who is on our wish list?

[archdog]

That should have been strike 3

[archdog]

That had to hurt. I always thought the hand was part of the bat.

[Cooterpoot]

That had to hurt. I always thought the hand was part of the bat.

It's not.

[Mjoelner34]

Holy $hit! Even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then.

[Lord McBuckethead]

D Jordan just missed the plate.

[sandjunky]

Aight so who is on our wish list?

Dan Heefner

[Lord McBuckethead]

Pitcher going right after Amani.

[HancockCountyDog]

It's not.

For a second I thought Jordan didn?t touch the plate.

[HancockCountyDog]

D Jordan just missed the plate.

Wasnt just me then.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that is 3 runs. We have 9 outs to score 10 more. We need some quick innings from our pitchers.

[yjnkdawg]

Last year our coaches didn't have our players prepared to play and it seems our players hadn't done too much to prepare either. All seemed to be waving the CWS Championship flag and all the teams we played would just lay down and roll over dead, but it didn't happen like that. We were a target for all. Not sure what flag we are waving this year, but our complete baseball program has regressed from a championship program (willed by players Lemo did not recruit) to a crap program currently.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Dan Heefner

Hitting coach: jake Mangum. Pitching coach: Cole Gordon. Head coach: a moldy sandwitch.

Not sure it wouldn't be a better on field staff than this

[msstate7]

Well that is 3 runs. We have 9 outs to score 10 more. We need some quick innings from our pitchers.

I would throw a position player at them that throws about 60 mph. Mess their timing up for the game tomorrow.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Head Coach Big Wes.

[BankerDog]

Our NIL money went to Hunt, Hancock, and Stinnett. This is laughable.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Everyone of our pitchers are Betas. Not an Alpha among them. Maybe our freshmen.

[BeardoMSU]

Our NIL money went to Hunt, Hancock, and Stinnett. This is laughable.

We aren't serious about NIL at the level it needs to be.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Tapper is in trouble.

[Lord McBuckethead]

First MSU pitcher to show some life and battle back, first for the entire season. Way to go Tapper.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We need 4-6 this inning. Let?s go.

[Activated Alpha]

I plan on making a trip up to Sville to see a game with me boys in the new stadium. First time since 2015 when we sucked just about as worse then we do now. I didn?t go back and we had the best decade of baseball in our history. Maybe I can bring that good luck again for next year

[662dawg]

Man our freshmen pitchers are impressive. To bad they'll have to become sophomores under Foxhall

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Surely we're going to clean house after this year. Short of a tournament level turnaround of course

[Lord McBuckethead]

Feels like the second VMI understood that Hancock cannot throw, the season was over.

From there we discovered Hines cannot field first base.

From there we learned that Lane cannot field not bat.

We need Hancock at C and Hines at first so Chance can DH. That is our best lineup so far.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Man our freshmen pitchers are impressive. To bad they'll have to become sophomores under Foxhall

I have no idea why Foxhall has to finish this game. He doesn?t. Our administration is allowing him to come back tomorrow. No idea why.

[Bothrops]

They'll soph at LSU probably

[662dawg]

Our offense does plenty enough to win games. We should be able to win Friday night games scoring 4-5 runs. But we can't bc we don't throw dam strikes.

[Mjoelner34]

I have no idea why Foxhall has to finish this game. He doesn?t. Our administration is allowing him to come back tomorrow. No idea why.

He's been stealing money since mid-March last year.

[msstate7]

I wanna see them score on a P5 team when the game is still in doubt. They didn't do jack till the game was over

[BeardoMSU]

I wanna see them score on a P5 team when the game is still in doubt. They didn't do jack till the game was over

Yep.

[Quaoarsking]

Strikes 2 and 3 were both swings at balls in the dirt. Come on, guys.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Can we bring Henderson back to coach pitchers.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Strikes 2 and 3 were both swings at balls in the dirt. Come on, guys.

At least he looked like he gave a shit.

[msstate7]

Our basketball game is a pick em. Really hope they can salvage this weekend bc lemonis' band of clowns will be taking it on the chin all season

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nice catcher, allowing both runner to advance because he is lazy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

6 outs to score 10.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Brock Tapper having a ball game. Good to see.

[Dubuck Finner]

Softball looks competitive??.

[State82]

6 outs to score 10.
This is when it would be nice to have VMI wearing our uniforms. They might pull it off. Oh wait. They wouldn't be facing our staff. Never mind.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Can we bring Henderson back to coach pitchers.

Hire Cann and Henderson back.

But let's hold up and see what the Vitello situation is. This could be a gift.

HC - Vitello
Hitting Coach-Recruiting - Cann
pitching coach - Gary H

Hitting Coach at MSU could get Cann rebooted in College Baseball

[Lord McBuckethead]

I don?t mind if Cann was hitting on the new ADs wife, I would be onboard with this.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Our pitcher has to tuck in his necklace every pitch. What a loser.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Didn?t know we had Mr T pitching for us.

[BeardoMSU]

How many walks is that now?

[msstate7]

How many walks is that now?

We've walked 13

[Activated Alpha]

How many walks is that now?

I mistakenly started a drinking game of taking a shot for every walk. It's not going well for me. I am honestly surprised I can still type....although it has taken me 10 minutes

[Lord McBuckethead]

Holy shit. Lane made a play.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Play made in the field and the pitcher attacks the plate. Wow, for two plays in a row, we played baseball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I would trade Hancock and Lane for their third baseman.

[Lord McBuckethead]

So what is up with Hines? Still pissed he doesn?t get to play first because Hancock can?t throw?
