I still don't think that ball hit the 1st guy. If you take a fastball on the hand, I think you at least cringe

If the team can keep these games close, the crowd can get us some wins. The problem is we don't give the crowd anything to cheer about.

That's a season changing type of hit if we can build on it. This is usually when we lose these games

We did. Our coaching Fn sucks. Pitch hit for Lane and we probably win that game. Did our coaches tell Hines to go Downtown? Cause his approach at the plate was stupid. He couldn?t catch up to THAT guys fastball? Come on Hines.

I remember Chance pulling up last game with the catch toward the foul line that made me think he may have tweaked a hamstring. But still NOT pinch hitting with Downs or someone else is almost criminal in that spot. I'll be so glad when we push these coaches out.

By my count we've had a chance to win at least 3 sec games so far but we've left pitchers in too long. Oh well.

We have talent but they cannot execute baseball plays. Advancing runners is unknown to,our players. We can?t score runners from 3td. We cannot make accurate throws. We just aren?t very good.

Forsythe barreled one up his last AB so I can see why leaving him in there. Hines just had a horrible approach. But I feel like we left more runners in scoring position again this game. We cannot do that and expect to win.

And we keep complaining about pitching and rightfully so but the offense is not helping the cause by any means. At this point we have only scored more than 5 runs once in 7 SEC games. Going to take a really well pitched game from us to have a chance to win one.

Can?t blame Forsythe. He had a leadoff double in his previous at bat and the so called stud 1-3 batters pussied out and left him there. Then with 1st and 3rd and no outs he hits the ball up the middle, but not hard enough to get through the SS and 2B who were positioned to squeeze the middle and actually play for the DP. But one of our 2 most famous SOLO HR hitters couldn?t touch the first 2 pitches and watched a breaking ball thrown perfectly over the inside corner. Because when the game is on the line, our power hitters little wieners run up in their throats and hide!

Yeah I agree we haven't been clutch at the plate, either but so many games
have gotten away from us early. It's definitely been a team effort lol

Last pitch to Hines wasn't a breaking ball it was a 93mph fb and it wasn't a strike

At some point talent should negate shitty coaching in our losing streak of 18. I can see that we have pieces especially in our freshman, but I don?t see any talent in the upper class and no leaders. Talent doesn?t lose so many games in a row

Did not see a replay but it seemed either up or in or both. Interesting that Hunter did not even think about offering so not a very close pitch.

Not surprised, see it over and over in all sports. Bad teams routinely get bad calls from refs and umps.

What changed?

Different players? Or

Lack of motivation from coaches?


I want to believe you can?t compile that early SEC record on talent alone. Has to be an element of coaching/managing.

Yep - two seam (sinker)
Started at front hip (but a little elevated) and ran it off the edge

Catcher did a good job I believe (need to watch again) in catching it deep and not trying to stick it

It was blue?s middle finger to Lemonis to end it

This is pretty sad that State baseball has come to this. "Well, we lost again, but hey, we competed better". I'm not taking a shot at you somebodyshotmypaw, I understand your thinking, but damn we are the Mississippi State Diamond Dawgs. It shouldn't come to this.

Anyone catch Gotros comments after the game. He did the coaches questions since Lemonis was thrown out and someone on Twitter made the comment that Gotro said if he was Lemonis he would have been a hell of a lot more irate after the missed strikeout and homer… could this monumental collapse be a little in house scuffle with the staff also? We all, and I’m sure Foxhall knows, he is gone at the end of the year. Could it go deeper with that?

Nailed it on all counts. He was trying to get Hines to chase and it got called anyways. Definitely the middle finger to Lemonis.

Amen brother!

This is the first game in a while where I think the players didn't let things completely unravel on them. In previous games, this would have been an 18-3 blowout. My biggest criticisms about this game is that we left Cinjtje in one inning too long, and we left Holcombe in one inning too long. The missed strike call was a difference maker, but there's a good chance you don't give up 2 runs in the 5th if you go ahead and bring Holcombe in then and not let Cinjtje go through the order a third time.
