[Cowbell]

Starting this thread since we have a slight chance to win one.

[TNDawg35]

Someone gonna have to keep us updated. They ain’t posting Twitter and I lost the feed on tv…

Me too

[magrooder]

Network is back up for me.

[TNDawg35]

Just came back up for me.

[magrooder]

Siary hits a batter high and tight and next batter hits a two run shot Samford up 2 and now my tv is out again.

[mparkerfd20]

2 run shot by Sam after Siary hit a batter

[EdwardDrayton]

Our broadcast skills seem to be aligned with our baseball performance.

[CJDAWG85]

I havent seen anything from Siary that tells me he is a SEC caliber pitcher.

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn. Hujsak has a gun.

[magrooder]

Hujsak has some fire in him.

[EdwardDrayton]

First time I've ever seen a player take a catcher's mask to the nether region. Oof.

[magrooder]

Bottom of 2nd runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and Samford is making a pitching change 2-1 Sdogs

[magrooder]

Going to the top of the 3rd tied at 2

[magrooder]

Yntema in to pitch and gets a ground out to short

[EdwardDrayton]

Can't be that hard to hack a pitch wristwatch, can it?!!? :)

[magrooder]

Yntema with the pick off for out #3

[Commercecomet24]

Please keep Hujsak in the lineup!

[EdwardDrayton]

Please keep Hujsak in the lineup!

The kid has an impressive toolset.

[Commercecomet24]

The kid has an impressive toolset.

Has Plus bat speed, he can run, has a plus arm and he plays hard!

[magrooder]

Has Plus bat speed, he can run, has a plus arm and he plays hard!

Gotta work on that release to first a little. j/k

[StarkVegasSteve]

Has Plus bat speed, he can run, has a plus arm and he plays hard!

He makes a lot of errors is the only drawback but everyone else we put out there at 3B does too so he fits right in.

[ZedFedder]

Good grief.

[CJDAWG85]

What a shit show

[Commercecomet24]

Crap I jinxed him! Smh

[magrooder]

Ive seen little league players execute a rundown better than that

[CaptainObvious]

This is a little league clown show.

[Commercecomet24]

He makes a lot of errors is the only drawback but everyone else we put out there at 3B does too so he fits right in.

Yeah he does that's the only thing he doesn't do well, but at least he can hit and run!

[Activated Alpha]

I would give my left nut to have a legit 3B like all the other SEC teams....sigh one of these days

[EdwardDrayton]

Ive seen little league players execute a rundown better than that

We've certainly had trouble executing that this season.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yeah he does that's the only thing he doesn't do well, but at least he can hit and run!

I would give him playing time to settle in with the fielding. Too much talent otherwise to have him sitting.

Glad someone agrees with me!

[ZedFedder]

That was on Hines, not Hujsak.

[CJDAWG85]

Wish we would stop trying swinging for the fence and just get hits in key situations

[CJDAWG85]

I didn?t see the ball bounce. Looked like Hines just missed it.

[CJDAWG85]

Great piece of hitting by Jordan

[EdwardDrayton]

Connor walk RBI leads the way with two outs and Dakota rips it. State 5-4.

[CaptainObvious]

Thank goodness for the Freshman. Because Super Star Clark did exactly what I talked about yesterday. With the bases loaded, he couldn?t even get a sac fly. He popped out. He is a Solo HR guy. He can?t get it done consistently when runners are in scoring position.

[State82]

Great piece of hitting by Jordan
Yep. And the polar opposite from Lane.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nixon looks stupid with all the pre-pitch rocking he does.

[Lord McBuckethead]

All of that rocking back and forth and clutching and reclutching the baseball, no wonder Nixon is so inconsistent. It?s like every pitch his body starts the process in a slightly different location and posture. Who the F teaches that?

[CaptainObvious]

And then we see the absolute microcosm of our pitching. Fly out, Strike out on a beautiful pitch, then throws 2 out of 3 pitches 6 feet outside and comes inside and hits the guy. That is as little league as it gets. And Nixon is a Junior!😳😳😳

[Lord McBuckethead]

Amani Larry and Forsythe need to change positions.

Strike that, put Larry at third, Forsythe at second, and someone else at short.

[EdwardDrayton]

Yes, disappointing approach by Kellum.

[CaptainObvious]

Let?s hire their pitching coach. He went out to the mound and got in that ass after that awkward pick off attempt!!!

[CaptainObvious]

Dang! That a Hunter Hines First Pitch Popup to short scared them so bad they immediately made a pitching change! Our pop ups are effective if not productive😂😂

[CaptainObvious]

Well Forsythe has reverted back to his pretty pitch watching when he enters the batters box. His check swing K was a thing of beauty with runners at 2nd and 3rd.

[EdwardDrayton]

Let's go Luke. Three run lead is usually a statistical dagger.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hunter could have shown a little more patience there.

[CaptainObvious]

Let's go Luke. Three run lead is usually a statistical dagger.

He got all of that one!

[maroonmania]

Kellum could have had the leadoff walk but instead swings at a ball neck high and strikes out.

[maroonmania]

No discipline at the plate.

[ScooterDog]

Have y?all noticed? Bucket man has been standing up. We might actually win this game because of this.

[Leroy Jenkins]

If this season turns around, Hunt will have to be part of it.

Dr. Jekyl and Mr Hunt.

[CaptainObvious]

Kellum Clark is 0-5 and has left the population of West Point on the bases tonight!

Fortunately for him, he will get a Do-over come Thursday night against the 23-2 (6-0) Gaming Chickens.

[Cowbell]

Let?s hire their pitching coach. He went out to the mound and got in that ass after that awkward pick off attempt!!!
I thought the same exact thing

[StarkVegasSteve]

Really proud of Dakota tonight. Stayed patient with two outs and the bases loaded and sat back on a hung curveball. Two weeks ago he would have swung at the first three pitches trying to hit the softball press box.

[SilentSteel16]

All of that rocking back and forth and clutching and reclutching the baseball, no wonder Nixon is so inconsistent. It?s like every pitch his body starts the process in a slightly different location and posture. Who the F teaches that?

Just remember HE was the pitcher that TTech stole home on to win the game…..

[Homedawg]

Have y?all noticed? Bucket man has been standing up. We might actually win this game because of this.

He always stands when we hit. He sits when we pitch. He did tonight some as well. Him standing or sitting has ZERO to do w is sucking. None. But if it makes you feel better go ahead.

[Commercecomet24]

100%!

[Commercecomet24]

That was on Hines, not Hujsak.

I thought so too!

[Homedawg]

I thought so too!

Amen

[CaptainObvious]

Well now. This is definitely something we have Data on. A sitting coach at MSU is often a losing coach.

I would like to enter Nikki McCrae Pinson as evidence your honor.

[Commercecomet24]

Amen

It looked like Hines just flat out missed it.

[Todd4State]

I'm convinced that about 75% of the reason a lot of our fans want Lemonis gone is his perceived lack of emotion in the dugout.

Which let me say is not a good reason for wanting him gone.

[msstate7]

Maybe I'm just feeling good bc the braves start tomorrow, but I predict a series win for state this weekend. The streak will end

[Homedawg]

Ron Polk sat every inning we were in the field. Every inning.

[smootness]

That may be why some were quicker than others to call for a change, but at this point we have all we need simply based on team performance and nothing else.

[StarkVegasSteve]

No. Our fan base wants him gone because our team has straight up sucked the last 11 months. We have had the same problems that have not been fixed in that timeframe.

[EdwardDrayton]

No. Our fan base wants him gone because our team has straight up sucked the last 11 months. We have had the same problems that have not been fixed in that timeframe.

Correct. It has ZERO to do with his demeanor in the dugout.

The lack of emotion part isn't the only reason for sure.

The reality is our fans want a coach to get onto umpires like Polk used to. At least from time to time.

[Quaoarsking]

I'm convinced that about 75% of the reason a lot of our fans want Lemonis gone is his perceived lack of emotion in the dugout.

Which let me say is not a good reason for wanting him gone.

No, I think it's the fact that we've lost 17 SEC games in a row, most of which weren't even close. That we missed the NCAA Tournament and even Hoover last year and seem on track to do so again.

[State82]

I don't care if he stretches out in a lawn chair on top of the dugout. I couldn't care less what he does in the dugout, where he stands, sits or hops around. Just get this abomination fixed!
