[elitedawgs]

Good evening from Frisco Texas! We will be covering tonights game in this thread.

Teams have warmed up, the crew has readied the field, first pitch at 6:25PM

[RocketDawg]

6:25 start must explain why I can't find the game on SEC+. Not sure when it'll show up.

[elitedawgs]

First pitch strike and we're under way

[RocketDawg]

Is it being televised?

[elitedawgs]

2 K's and a groudout - Jurrangelo looks sharp this evening

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Great Start!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Amani Larry leads off, works a 3-0 count, 3-1 looking, BB

[elitedawgs]

Colton Ledbetter K's on a nasty breaking pitch

[elitedawgs]

Larry just stole second

[662dawg]

Colton Ledbetter K's on a nasty breaking pitch

That pitch is going to give us problems. Especially our lefties. I hope Kellum proves me wrong but he won't won't get close to that pitch lol

[elitedawgs]

Dakota Jordan works a full count, Larry steals third on a pick attempt that went into to center field. Jordan draws a walk. Runners at the corners, one out. Luke Hancock up.

[elitedawgs]

First pitch to Hancock way off, coach out to talk to the Ohio State pitcher.

[elitedawgs]

Hancock pops one just foul near third base, 3-4 rows up

[elitedawgs]

Jordan steals second as Hancock K's, two on, two out

[Activated Alpha]

How can we watch the games?

[ZedFedder]

Hancock has been striking out a whole lot more.

[elitedawgs]

Slate Alford works a 2-2 count, fouls one off into the stands, grounds foul down the 3B line, and flies out to right. End of 1, scoreless. OSU's pitcher threw 27 pitches that frame.

[mparkerfd20]

[elitedawgs]

Top 2nd, Kade Kern leads of for OSU, fouls one off his hand trying to bunt, fouls another trying to but, 1-2 count, fouls one hard to the bullpen, fouls another back, fouls another back, HBP, Jurrangelo came in high and a little to tight.

[elitedawgs]

Cole Andrews hits the first pitch straight to second for a perfect double play, two down, Top 2nd.

[elitedawgs]

Tyler Pettorini works a 1-2 count, fouls one back, K's looking. Middle 2nd scoreless.

[662dawg]

Tyler Pettorini works a 1-2 count, fouls one back, K's looking. Middle 2nd scoreless.

K's "swinging" but k's nonetheless :)

[Cowbell]

A lot of dawgs here in attendance / awesome venue

[ZedFedder]

Big thank you to Elitedawgs for the play by play.

[elitedawgs]

B 2nd - Hines leads off, OSU's pitcher Coupet fires two straight strikes in to go 0-2, Hines fouls one back, K's

[elitedawgs]

Kellum Clark up, quickly falls behind 0-2, K's looking. Coupet looks like a completely different pitcher.

[662dawg]

Kellum Clark should not play against lefty's. Give Downs or Hujsak those at bats

[elitedawgs]

Bryce Chance up, 2 down, works a 2-2 count, and a pitch goes sailing over everyone to go 3-2, Coupet gets the K swinging on a nice looking breaking pitch.

[BeardoMSU]

and...3 up, 3 down...all K's

[elitedawgs]

End of 2, we're scoreless. @FriscoClassic has awesome on the field activities between innings. Come on over to Frisco and watch #HailState

[Saltydog]

Their SP has good stuff. Hopefully we can get to him early. He's going to be especially tough on lefties. Big sweeping curve.

[Saltydog]

Just a terrible AB by Hancock.

[elitedawgs]

Top 3, Jurrangelo walks the batter Erwin on five pitches, he's just not hitting his spots as he did in the first frame. Mitchell Okuley up for OSU, drills a grounder to second for the second double play of the game. 2 down.

[Saltydog]

Agreed.........Makes no sense to me (Clark in the lineup with a lefty on mound)........

[CaptainObvious]

5 Ks in 6 outs. I?d say more than Hancock had bad at bats!

[elitedawgs]

Josh McAlister up for OSU, works a 2-2 count, hits a high fly into foul territory, Clark can't quite get to it. Ball 3 high, tried to get him to swing, high popup to third, end of the frame still scoreless.

[elitedawgs]

OSU's LHP Isaiah Coupet has really settled down nicely after a rough first inning. Scoreless in the middle of the third at the @FriscoClassic

[elitedawgs]

B 3rd, Lane Forsythe leads off, doubles to the gap in right center on the first pitch he sees.

[Cowbell]

Forsyth on fire!

[662dawg]

And leave it to Forsythe to make first good contact. With a double

[elitedawgs]

Top of the order Amani Larry up, Forsythe at second, tries to bunt, it goes foul. works a 1-2 count, flies out to short left, not deep enough to advance the runner.

[elitedawgs]

B 3rd, runner at second, 1 down, Colton Ledbetter at bat, Forsythe was picked but the throw went wild, he makes it back to second. Ledbetter walks, runners at first and second, 1 down.

[elitedawgs]

B 3rd, Dakota Jordan at bat, 2 on, 1 out, works a 1-2 count, K's swinging on an nice breaking pitch that came in at 81mph.

[elitedawgs]

Hancock grounds out to second, force at second. End of 3, scoreless in Frisco.

[662dawg]

Jordan looked awful that at bat. Like really awful.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hancock leaving runners in scoring position.

[elitedawgs]

Top 4th, Henry Kaczmar leads off for OSU. Works a 2-1 count, hits a weak ground ball up the middle, 2B grabs it, can't quite make the play, great effort but pulled Hines off of first.

[Saltydog]

B 3rd, Dakota Jordan at bat, 2 on, 1 out, works a 1-2 count, K's swinging on an nice breaking pitch that came in at 81mph.

He needs to sit......

[elitedawgs]

Ernst at the plate, Kaczmar steals second.

[elitedawgs]

Ernst works a 2-2 count, Jurrangelo tries a pick at second and throws it to center field, runner to third.

[elitedawgs]

T 4th, 2-2 count on Ernst, Jurrangelo throws a nice looking pitch called a ball, looks frustrated thngking it was a strike, then throws a 71mph changeup for a K swinging, 1 out.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Ernst at the plate, Kaczmar steals second.

Every single turns into a double with Hancock behind the plate

[elitedawgs]

T 4th, runner at third, 1 out, Kde Kern up for OSU. Works an 0-2 count on foul balls, RHP Jurrangelo throws one in the dirt that gets to the back stop, runner scores. OSU takes a 1-0 lead.

[Thick]

Hahahaha

[elitedawgs]

1-2 count on Kern, Jurrangelo throws a 94mph fastball just high, count goes 3-2 after a couple of foul balls out of the park, hits a shot to SS, great play to get him out at first. 2 down.

[elitedawgs]

Hank Thomas up for OSU, 2 out, T4th. Works a full count, draws a walk. Jurrangelo at 65 pitches.

[CaptainObvious]

I would like to see someone else not named Hines or Clark get a chance. They are weak sauce right now. Not saying permanently but Hancock needs to play first and everybody including the managers can play right field and bat .100.

[WSOPdawg]

Damn, watching the ppv and these announcers with this 17'n doctor in the box have become insufferable this inning... Jesus, get the last out!!!

[elitedawgs]

Meeting on the hill, OSU up 1-0, Top of the 4th, 2 out, runner at first.

[elitedawgs]

Cole Andrews at bat, hits a loud foul down the left field line into the bleachers. Jurrangelo gets a fly out to right to end the frame. Middle 4th, OSU up 1-0.

[662dawg]

1 is likely enough for them until this lefty is replaced. We aren't even close against this guy yet.

[chef dixon]

Nice outing so far for Lo. Getting some good experience

[elitedawgs]

Bottom of the 4th, Alford at bat, falls behind 0-2, hits a sharp grounder to SS, out at first. 1 down.

[elitedawgs]

Hines up, hits a sharp foul on a 2-0 count, takes strike 2 looking, works a full count. Hits a grounder to 2b, who had shaded towards first, out. 2 down.

[elitedawgs]

Clark works a 2-2 count and K's swinging. OSU up 1-0 after 4.

[WSOPdawg]

I would like to see someone else not named Hines or Clark get a chance. They are weak sauce right now. Not saying permanently but Hancock needs to play first and everybody including the managers can play right field and bat .100.

Agree, I didn't think it made much sense to give the LH Clark the bats against one of the top LHP in the game... why not go with RH Downs?

[662dawg]

Wth? They should have let Lo go 1 more inning. Geez

[elitedawgs]

T 5th, Tyler Pettorini leads off for OSU, works a 1-2 count, fouls one back behind third in the stands, and another off the net, another behind third in the stands, Jurrangelo gets a K looking, 1 down.

[Cowbell]

Jordan looked awful that at bat. Like really awful.

It was bad

[magrooder]

T 5th, Tyler Pettorini leads off for OSU, works a 1-2 count, fouls one back behind third in the stands, and another off the net, another behind third in the stands, Jurrangelo gets a K looking, 1 down.

I thought we switched pitchers

[The Federalist Engineer]

Looks like Siary is immune to Foxhall Disease

[662dawg]

I thought we switched pitchers

Siary is in now. Looking good. 2 k's so far. Would have saved him for the 6th & went one more with Lo

[CaptainObvious]

We don?t need to leave Frisco without using subterfuge for the OSU left handed to portal his way to Starkville.

[elitedawgs]

Nick Erwin up for OSU, Evan Slary pitching for State, gets a couple of quick outs to end the frame. Middle of the 5th, OSU up 1-0.

[662dawg]

3 up 3 down for Siary. Now let's hit it dudes.

[elitedawgs]

B 5th, Chance at bat, hits a high pop up to right, one down. Coupet still in for OSU, 77 pitches thus far.

[elitedawgs]

Ledbetter draws a 5 pitch walk, Larry at bat, 1 down.

[elitedawgs]

Wild pitch, Ledbetter to second, 1 down, B 5th.

[elitedawgs]

Larry works a 2-2 count, fouls one off, and another back out of the park, Coupet throws a nice pitch that just missed outside, full count. Coupet comes in and just misses Larry, walk. Runners at first and second, one out.

[elitedawgs]

We have a full force MAROON WHITE chant in Frisco as OSU has a meeting on the hill.

[elitedawgs]

OSU has a lefty warming in the pen.

[elitedawgs]

B 5th, two on, one out, Ledbetter at bat, works a 3-1 count, draws a walk. Bases loaded, one out.

[elitedawgs]

Coupet at 96 pitches, throws a nice off speed pitch for a strike on Dakota Jordan. Jordan K's. Bases loaded, two out.

[662dawg]

Jordan has got to get out of the 3 hole. All u have to do is hit a fly ball to tie it up. And he swung 3 balls not even close on any of them.

[Saltydog]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Jordan needs to sit".........That's horrible......

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dakota Jordan is not a 3 hole hitter right now, he's not actually outhitting Lane Forsythe these days.

[ZedFedder]

Dakota Jordan is going to be a huge star for us one day. He?s just not there yet. He?s a freshman against one of the best pitchers in the country. Move him to the 7 hole and free him up from some inherent pressure that comes from hitting 3-hole.

[662dawg]

Dakota Jordan is not a 3 hole hitter right now, he's not actually outhitting Lane Forsythe these days.

Need someone who's at least going to make contact most times. Him being in the 3 hole is costing us right now. I don't care if he can hit it 900 feet when he does make contact.

[elitedawgs]

Alford out, After 5, tied at 1

[Saltydog]

Freaking lead off walks, sigh.......

[elitedawgs]

T 6th, Slary picthing for State, McAlister singles, Kaczmar doubles, runners at second and third with no outs.

[CaptainObvious]

Need someone who's at least going to make contact most times. Him being in the 3 hole is costing us right now. I don't care if he can hit it 900 feet when he does make contact.

How the hell does that happen? We have 3 straight walks and then their pitcher with over 100 pitches should have been out of the inning because of crappy at bats by our middle of the order!

[Saltydog]

May have left Siary in too long......

[elitedawgs]

Ernst at bat for OSU, hits a loud foul to the State bullpen, K's swinging on a 91mph fastball. Excellent pitch by Slary. 1 down.

[elitedawgs]

Kade Kern at bat for OSU, nice save by Hancock on a ball in the dirt. Kern walks on four pitches. Bases loaded, one out. There is activity starting in the State bullpen.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need someone who's at least going to make contact most times. Him being in the 3 hole is costing us right now. I don't care if he can hit it 900 feet when he does make contact.

SEC scouts are going chew him up.

Hujsak actually hit 320 Vs Region, ACC, and SEC opponents last year, getting no playing time

Downs is top recruit and has looked pretty good, also no playing time

But lots of great players struggled to start, Rowdey took a bit of time. Rooker was a red shirt as a freshman

[elitedawgs]

T 6th, OSU has the bases loaded with one out. After a 4 pitch walk, Slary comes back and gets a 4 pitch K. Bases loaded, 2 down.

[elitedawgs]

T 6th, 2 down, bases loaded. Hancock with another save of a ball in the dirt. Cole Andrews works a 1-1 count, 2-1 just high, 3-1 outside, walks in a run. OSU takes a 2-1 lead.

[elitedawgs]

Pettorini at bat, There's a meeting on the hill.

[Saltydog]

SMH, walking in runs........

[mparkerfd20]

F'ing walks. I hate Foxhall

[The Federalist Engineer]

Siary struggling with bases loaded

Nobody warming up

Even after walking in a run

Is Foxhall messing us up on purpose?

[elitedawgs]

Slary gives up a bases loaded double and OSU takes a 5-1 lead. There's a review underway, apparently the ball was off the top of the wall in right. It could have been a grand slam.

[mparkerfd20]

GTHFoxhall.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah not sure if we make a comeback in this game....hitters look confused for so long

[662dawg]

Siary struggling with bases loaded

Nobody warming up

Even after walking in a run

Is Foxhall messing us up on purpose?

Yea pretty stupid. But I've come to expect it. This game is pretty much over.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Slary gives up a bases loaded double and OSU takes a 5-1 lead. There's a review underway, apparently the ball was off the top of the wall in right. It could have been a grand slam.

Correction-

Coaches leave Siary out to struggle and have nobody warming up - now the kid is getting creamed

[CaptainObvious]

Isn?t Siary a walk-on? Pitching is bad but in the words of Harry Doyle, we have ONE hit. ONE GD hit!!!

[elitedawgs]

Ruled a double, OSU leads 5-1. Lemonis out of the dugout, that'll do it for Slary. Top of the 6th, two out.

[SaintDawg]

**** you foxhall. idiot

[662dawg]

Holcombe. Lmao. It may work but....

[elitedawgs]

Colby Holcombe in to pitch for State.

[KOdawg1]

PATHETIC

[msstate7]

Siary struggling with bases loaded

Nobody warming up

Even after walking in a run

Is Foxhall messing us up on purpose?

The constant blaming foxhall is weird to me. When the braves make a pitching change that doesn't work, brave fans blame snitker, not kranitz. Does lemonis make no decisions on recruiting/game planning/in-game decisions on the pitching side?

[CaptainObvious]

When you recruit a circus, you get clowns.

[elitedawgs]

T 6th, 2 out, runner at second, new pitcher Colby Holcombe faces Nick Erwin. Holcombe works a 1-2 count, throws what he thinks is strike 3, apparently just off the plate. 2-2 count. K swinging to end the frame. OSU up 5-1, middle of the 6th.

[662dawg]

Damn Colby prove me wrong

[KOdawg1]

We are a talented team, but we're poorly coached right now.

[elitedawgs]

B 6th, Lane Robinson in to pitch for OSU. Hines hits a shot up the middle, pitcher knocks it down, gets him out on a fantastic play. 1 down.

[662dawg]

How slow do you have to be to get thrown out there. Geez

[msstate7]

We got 1 run. F foxhall!!! Haha

[662dawg]

2 pitches 2 outs

[elitedawgs]

Chance HBP, Forsythe at bat.

[CaptainObvious]

Lemonis is going to live and die with Hines and Clark isn?t he? I?m not sure this team is as talented as people think.

[elitedawgs]

Forsythe walks, 2 on, 2 out

[msstate7]

Come on Larry

[msstate7]

Come on led

[662dawg]

Hit two & walked one & Clark & Hines swing at first pitch. Great job leaders.

[elitedawgs]

HBP under review , ruled HBP

[The Federalist Engineer]

When you recruit a circus, you get clowns.

MSU has good players. This is not the players.

[msstate7]

Led may not see another fastball this year

[elitedawgs]

Ledbetter falls behind 1-2, K's. End of 6, OSU up 5-1

[CaptainObvious]

Our left handed batters literally suck against LH pitching. A masterful coaching job by the OSU pitching coach.

[662dawg]

I thought he held back there but oh well

[WSOPdawg]

10 left on base and only 1 hit... smdh!!!

[CaptainObvious]

MSU has good players. This is not the players.

So you are saying we have to suffer another crappy losing season to get the bad players out of the program to get with good Freshmen and Sophomores?

[Quaoarsking]

We've left 10 runners on base to Ohio State's 2. Come on guys...

[Saltydog]

That will be exploited in league play.........

[elitedawgs]

T 7th, Mitchell Okuley K's on a full count, 1 down.

[elitedawgs]

McAlister falls behind 0-2, works a full count, draws a walk.

[Bothrops]

Somebody, somewhere hasn't done they job with this program

[662dawg]

LUKE CANNOT BE THE CATCHER IN SEC PLAY

[elitedawgs]

Kaczmar at bat, McAlister steals second, grounds to second, bobbled by 2B, bobbled by SS, runner scores on a close play. OSU up 6-1.

[662dawg]

We are so awful. It's just laughable at this point 😂

[CaptainObvious]

I stand by my statement: This is a Circus Clown Show and Lemonis is the mini-car driver!

[Tater]

Loooking like firing time Lemonis

[662dawg]

I stand by my statement: This is a Circus Clown Show and Lemonis is the mini-car driver!

Every time we think things have turned around we have another clown show game. No college team should look like this every third or 4th game.

[CaptainObvious]

Has Mississippi State ever beaten Ohio State in any sport?

[elitedawgs]

Kade Kern at bat, falls behind 1-2, hits a shot to third, throw to second pulls 2B off the bag, everyone is safe.

[Activated Alpha]

Oh how the mighty have fallen. We just look like an embarrassment tonight. Can we just flush tonight down the toilet?

[Cooterpoot]

LUKE CANNOT BE THE CATCHER IN SEC PLAY

He can't be a catcher in Jones Co. league ball.

[662dawg]

THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A COLLEGE BASEBALL TEAM. This is embarrassing

[Cooterpoot]

I'm starting to question what Lemonis does other than hold down a bucket.

[CaptainObvious]

Looks like I picked the wrong night to stop sniffing glue.

[elitedawgs]

Hank Thomas at bat, runners at first a second, hits a fly to short left, E9, OSU takes an 8-1 lead. Runner at second.

[ZedFedder]

You cannot be good and not do the little things. This team has talent, but it does not do the little things well. It?s one thing if we are just getting smoked and hit. It?s another when walks and errors consistently compound issues.

If we lose this one and win the next two, overall we are okay. I just don?t have confidence in this team.

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah tonight is a loss. Just regroup and hopefully we have a better weekend

[MaroonFlounder]

Now it’s keystone cops in the field.

Some real bad news bears type shit

[CaptainObvious]

I'm starting to question what Lemonis does other than hold down a bucket.

I still contend his recruiting ain?t that good but apparently he goes home every night with a bucket rim ring around his butt!

[SpaceBully]

Northern Baseball !!......clap, clap.........clap-clap!

[civildawg]

Getting blown out by this team is just embarrassing. Lemonis = Chizik.

[Cooterpoot]

The talent on this team is so overhyped. Not as much as the coaches, but overhyped. We got three hitters and almost no pitching.

[elitedawgs]

Cole Andrews hits a high fly pop up to 1st, inning over. OSU takes an 8-1 lead.

[elitedawgs]

Stretch time, OSU up 8-1.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Ohio State has a 3-5 record coming into this game.

This is not a regional bound Opponent

20% of the season in the books. Unless you factor regions, super regional, and Omaha games in June and July.

F Foxhall! (That's for your entertainment Msstate7)

[662dawg]

Yeah tonight is a loss. Just regroup and hopefully we have a better weekend

Way too many clown show games. We honestly may be the worst team in the SEC right now

[MBDawg601]

Strategy to beat us. Don't swing. If you do happen to swing, make it a routine ground ball and we will fumble it around like midgets trying to catch a greased pig.

We have the worst pitching and fielding in the conference.

[elitedawgs]

RHP Nolan Clegg in to pitch for OSU

[662dawg]

Holcombe actually pitched well. Should have been out of the inning giving up no runs. Defense failed him.

[CaptainObvious]

Who hits fungo to these guys, the third base coach?

[elitedawgs]

B 7th, Dakota Jordan at bat, K's looking.

[elitedawgs]

Hancock at bat, lines out to 1B, 2 down.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dakota Jordan is having a Tanner Pool night. He's on a potential grand slam of Ks

[CaptainObvious]

If Lemonhead doesn?t sit Jordan, Hines and Clark, he doesn?t give a crap about winning.

[elitedawgs]

Outstanding pay by OSU's center fielder diving to catch a fly ball to short center to end the frame. After 7, OSU up 8-1.

[Activated Alpha]

B 7th, Dakota Jordan at bat, K's looking.

You don't say....

[SpaceBully]

We play like this tomorrow, OK will beat us 30-0.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

3 errors in 1 inning, and a stolen base because the catcher has a noodle arm. That's gotta be the worst defensive inning I've ever seen from any team

[662dawg]

Worst $21 bucks I've ever spent lol

[elitedawgs]

T 8th, Holcombe still on the hill for State. Cole Andrews at bat for OSU. Hits a foul ball back off the net right in fron of Ron Polk. K's looking.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

also love how down 7 we record 2 outs with 1 strike on the count. Zero effort to draw walks or make the pitcher earn the out. Terrible coaching

[TheLostDawg]

Almost paid the$10 for one game. Glad that I didn't even do that

[elitedawgs]

Erwin grounds out to 3B, 2 down.

[Cowbell]

What was Lo final pitch count

[elitedawgs]

Okuley walks with 2 out, McAlister at bat.

[elitedawgs]

McAlister walks for his third straight time, 2 on, 2 out.

[elitedawgs]

Kaczmar at bat, 2 on, 2 out, K's to end the frame. OSU up 8-1, middle of the 8th.

[Tater]

Yea it's reall fire lemonis hours over here. Gonna spend way more on drinks than it cost to buy the weekend package to watch.

[662dawg]

Almost paid the$10 for one game. Glad that I didn't even do that

You could have seen better baseball at your local Little league field.

[elitedawgs]

B 8th, Clark at bat, draws a walk.

[KOdawg1]

Gene Chizik. Ed Orgeron. Chris Lemonis.

[elitedawgs]

Chance at bat, singles to right center, Clark to third, Forsythe coming up

[State82]

What was Lo final pitch count

72. Threw 4.0 innings.

[Cooterpoot]

Our leading K is 3 hole. 4 hole is a lighting hitting guy. Our experienced guy who IS hitting is 9 hole. Only catcher is sitting. We keep trotting out the same lineup. We stack it left side against a good lefty.
Just dumbassery! We can't field with a shit. Can't pitch worth a shit.
That fat ass ring though!

[elitedawgs]

Forsythe at bat, OSU has a lefty warming in the pen

[BeardoMSU]

72. Threw 4.0 innings.

36 pitches per arm doesn't sound like a lot?***

[elitedawgs]

Forsythe grounds out to SS, play at second, called out, under review.

[elitedawgs]

Ruled out at second, two outs, run scored. OSU up 8-2.

[662dawg]

I'm almost sure he was safe

[elitedawgs]

Amani Larry at bat, runner at first, 2 out, HBP, 2 on, 2 out

[elitedawgs]

OSU goes to the bullpen, freshman LHP Landon Beldelschies

[WSOPdawg]

Our leading K is 3 hole. 4 hole is a lighting hitting guy. Our experienced guy who IS hitting is 9 hole. Only catcher is sitting. We keep trotting out the same lineup. We stack it left side against a good lefty.
Just dumbassery! We can't field with a shit. Can't pitch worth a shit.
That fat ass ring though!

Too much truth in everything you've typed, Cooter. I'd like to see a RH/LH platoon of Hujsak/Clark or Downs/Clark in RF along. We need to get these other guys more ABs.

[elitedawgs]

Ledbetter at bat, 2 on, 2 out, hits a shot to 2B, too hot to handle, nobody covers 2B, bases loaded, 2 out

[662dawg]

Here comes the Jordan K

[Quaoarsking]

Is this the 3rd time we've left the bases loaded?

[662dawg]

Nvm Hujsak pinch hitting

[elitedawgs]

Connor Hujsak batting for Jordan, bases loaded, 2 out, K's swinging. End of 8, OSU up 8-2

[662dawg]

Hujsak looked as bad as Jordan swinging the bat. Geez.

[msstate7]

Jordan is one of our best power hitters. Why PH when a hr gets you back in it?

[elitedawgs]

Brock Tapper in to pitch for State

[662dawg]

Jordan is one of our best power hitters. Why PH when a hr gets you back in it?

To be fair, Jordan hasn't come close all night long. Neither did Hujsak tho

[WSOPdawg]

Is this the 3rd time we've left the bases loaded?

yep, and unfortunately we have 13 LOB

[Quaoarsking]

We've been outhit 4-3 and are losing 8-2. Weird game.

[msstate7]

Jordan entered the game with a .364 obp and 1:1 k-to-bb ratio. Really don't get ph for a guy that has power and gets walks there

[elitedawgs]

Ernst at bat for OSU, grounds to 3B, out at first

[msstate7]

If you pH for your #3 hitter, then you have no business hitting the guy #3

[elitedawgs]

Kern at bat, singles to center.

[HoopsDawg]

If you pH for your #3 hitter, then you have no business hitting the guy #3

That's the truth. I don't think I've ever seen that.

[elitedawgs]

Hunter Rosson at bat, K's looking, 2 down

[elitedawgs]

Middle of the 9th, OSU up 8-2

[elitedawgs]

Hancock and Alford get on, Hines at bat, nobody out.

[elitedawgs]

Hines hits a shot up the middle, right to 2B, double play. 2 Down.

[elitedawgs]

Clark draws a walk, 2 on, 2 out

[662dawg]

So Hines is going to be either a home run or out this year isn't he huh? He can't hit out of the shift.

[elitedawgs]

Chance at bat, draws a walk, bases loaded, 2 out

[elitedawgs]

Forsythe walks in a run, OSU up 8-3, 2 out, bottom of the 9th

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Can't get timely hitting, have bad approaches at the plate, pinch hit for the #3 guy, make a ton of errors, and can't hold runners (which we knew would happen with Hancock yet we still played him...).

Any one of these is excusable as a WTF moment. But all together? In the same game? That's just awful coaching.

Ironically pitching is the only group to get a passing grade this game. They weren't great, but they did enough to win and the defense shat the bed

[Quaoarsking]

Damn without the double play this would suddenly be very interesting. (Maybe it still is.)

[elitedawgs]

OSU bringing in a new pitcher.

[elitedawgs]

RHP Jonah Jenkins in for OSU

But this has happened in multiple games already this year -- too many times.

[elitedawgs]

Amani Larry up, bases laoded, 2 out, flies out to left. FINAL Ohio State 8 - Mississippi State 3

[DawgFromOxford]

That?s a bad loss. Tired of this team looking like they don?t have a clue how to play baseball. Inexcusable from top to bottom

[Quaoarsking]

Left the bases loaded 4 times...

[KOdawg1]

Pathetic loss.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Once again, we are not a good baseball club. Didn?t watch the game, but I could probably tell you what happened.

[Lord McBuckethead]

But this has happened in multiple games already this year -- too many times.

Feels like 4 times already.

[Percho]

saved 10 bucks

[elitedawgs]

12 walks by OSU pitching, 16 LOB for State, that's the story for tonight's game. 3 runs on 3 hits.

[civildawg]

It?s hard to believe but Lemonis is going to get fired (unless something drastically changes) 2 years after our first NC. I just don?t understand how our defense is so bad two years in a row

[ZedFedder]

Here is the greatest indictment on our pitching control and our defense

We have played 9 games. In almost half (4 games) the opposing team has more runs than hits.

That?s all you need to know. That?s call beating yourself, and it?s going to cost them down the line if they ever do get it together.

I was told that we have the highest paid coaching staff in SEC baseball. If this is correct, maybe they grew complacent after the championship with big $ and long term contacts (Lemonis). Something is really wrong. Everyone has injuries, but how many programs drop from a National Championship to last place in the SEC West the next year and continue to play like that this year?

The only way I see him getting fired is if he refuses to fire Foxhall. Which I really doubt he would chose his job over Foxhall.

[SpaceBully]

Yep, that's 3 bad losses this year....VMI, ULM, and now OSU. We're starting to mount too many bad OOC losses. These will come back to haunt us if we don't get it turned around.

Someone needs to get him to visit the Croom/Woody story.

[Bothrops]

I have finally reached the realization that our program is overrated. We have an inflated self image that is becoming nauseating.

Your love or hate for fox is unreal. We got 16 free passes tonight we scored what??? So goat sucks too? I digress

[HoopsDawg]

12 walks by OSU pitching, 16 LOB for State, that's the story for tonight's game. 3 runs on 3 hits.

Don't forget the 4 HBP.

It's really hard to get 16 free passes and only score 3. Wow!!
