Game 2

[Leroy Jenkins]

Dollander not sharp. Gartman looking good. Chance back in the lineup. Chester at 3rd.

[662dawg]

Mershon has really quick hands

[Leroy Jenkins]

He's a twitchy athlete all around.

[EdwardDrayton]

Not even going to look it up. We have to be one of the worst with HBPs.

[EdwardDrayton]

Missed it by that much.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Stop me if you heard this before... Load the bases on 1 hit.

[EdwardDrayton]

Stop me if you heard this before... Load the bases on 1 hit.

We're nothing if not predictable.

[EdwardDrayton]

Twenty home runs. That Dawg can hit a long ball now.

[BearcatBully]

Any insight into these questionable moves?
Chester for Alford? Ross sitting? Hancock
Catching?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Catching?

I'm sure Hancock is catching so Chance can DH. That means Hines has to play 1b.

We have 2 .350 hitters on the bench with Hijczak and Chance that need AB's.

[BeardoMSU]

Twenty home runs. That Dawg can hit a long ball now.

Bad ass.

[BearcatBully]

What about Chester tho? Is Slate injured?

[Leroy Jenkins]

We running all over Dollander. UT catcher has no chance.

[Leroy Jenkins]

What about Chester tho? Is Slate injured?

Not that I know of.

[EdwardDrayton]

2. LSU................. 42
3. South Carolina...... 33
4. Texas A&M........... 32
5. Arkansas............ 30

Those are batters HBP. Pitchers hitting batters we are 1 behind UGA for worst.

[EdwardDrayton]

Mute button is great when Tony Vittles is on the mic. Where's that Florida Hit Man when you need him.

[662dawg]

Well that was fast

[Activated Alpha]

Seems like Gartman is hitting his efficiency wall. I mean I would have had someone warmed up already and have made a mound visit, but hey I?m not the coach

[Leroy Jenkins]

Here's the Gartman wall. Cruises for 4 innings then slams on the breaks.

[EdwardDrayton]

Those are batters HBP. Pitchers hitting batters we are 1 behind UGA for worst.

Thanks Leroy. So the stats do reflect the perception.

[662dawg]

Well that was a huge double play by Jordan

[Activated Alpha]

Jordan bailed out the coaches there with an amazing play for two outs. Still not sure why Foxhall didn?t at least do his job and go see Gartman

[Leroy Jenkins]

Well that was a huge double play by Jordan

Going to me a millionaire very soon.

[BearcatBully]

As usual a batter late to pull a pitcher. With Gartmans history of hitting the wall after 2 cycles, just don?t understand how you don?t have someone lined up. Not even a mound visit. Inexcusable.

[662dawg]

He shouldn't be back out there for the 5th but who do we go to? Tapper? Siary? Maybe Hunt again?

If they go with Ynetma or even Hardin I'm not watching another MSU baseball game until the entire staff is fired.

[662dawg]

Well we got our two runs back lol. Dam Hunter 🤣

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hines is a streaky SOB but man, when he's on, he's on.

[BeardoMSU]

Hunter Hibes wants to hate-**** the baseball, lol.

[EdwardDrayton]

Thanks again LJ:

LSU................. 34
13.Tennessee........... 33
14.South Carolina...... 27

[Leroy Jenkins]

He will disappear for 2-3 games then he'll be white hot for 2-3 games. When he's on he is special.

Lemonis said Hines didn't have the recruiting hype of some of the kids, but he came to camp and was taking BP and everyone was like "who is this guy".

[basedog]

Hunter Hines, dude may strikeout a lot but he has amazing power. He is only get better over time, may be our next ML baseball player.

[Activated Alpha]

Gotta get Gartman now

[Activated Alpha]

Here is where a mound visit would be nice. If only we had a pitching coach

[662dawg]

Walks the first batter in the 5th. He'll get in a hole & well put the pressure on someone to screw it up. Instead of letting someone start the inning.

[662dawg]

Son of a b...

[Leroy Jenkins]

Caught trying to steal outs again.

[662dawg]

ALWAYS a batter too late. ALWAYS

[Saltydog]

Dollander not sharp. Gartman looking good. Chance back in the lineup. Chester at 3rd.

There's the Gartman I know. He's always good for a couple of dingers.

[Activated Alpha]

Well Gartman, you almost had them. Knew that lead off walk would come back to bite us in the ass. He crushed that pitch foul the first time. He wouldn?t miss the second

[EdwardDrayton]

Son of a b...

Yep. Leadoff walks.

[Activated Alpha]

Well we knew we would have to rely on our bullpen eventually. Hopefully they can keep the lead

[662dawg]

It's amazing how this entire message board can predict what's going to happen & our coaches have yet to figure it out.

[BearcatBully]

Criminal coaching to leave Gartman in there with Holcomb available. Criminal.

[CaptainObvious]

You guys really didn?t think 7 runs was enough for State did you?

Our pitchers cannot get a first pitch strike to save their life.

[662dawg]

And I forgot all about Holcombe earlier. He should have started the inning. Gartman was done. Just insane

[Activated Alpha]

And I forgot all about Holcombe earlier. He should have started the inning. Gartman was done. Just insane

In his defense, he did battle back to get two quick outs after the lead off walk. I just knew when Dickey (didn?t he hit the game winning HR yesterday) kept fouling them off that it would have been best to just walk him

[BearcatBully]

Just outright garbage

[EdwardDrayton]

We are really good at 17ing things up.

[662dawg]

Swear on everything I hate this team more than anything I've ever hated before.

[Activated Alpha]

Our pen can?t save a lead if we were gifted twenty runs

[Activated Alpha]

Maybe now is the best time for a mound visit?

[BearcatBully]

I think we lead the nation in that category

[Leroy Jenkins]

We were one strike away from getting out of the inning when Gartman gave up the bomb. 10 minutes later..... still going.

[662dawg]

We're going to need 15 runs aren't we?

[EdwardDrayton]

Attaway Amani! Let's post a crooked number!!

[Ranchdawg]

I just don?t understand how our bullpen pitchers can be this damn awful. Just don?t

[EdwardDrayton]

OK. We're cookin' now. Gonna' pour my second bourbon to continue the mojo. :)

[EdwardDrayton]

Lil Tony Vittles to the mound ..........

[Activated Alpha]

OK. We're cookin' now. Gonna' pour my second bourbon to continue the mojo. :)

If it means we win, keep the bourbon flowing

[CaptainObvious]

Because of that damn thing on their wrist telling them to groove one in the middle of the plate.

[Activated Alpha]

They walk Hines because their coach is smart. Imagine what would have happened if we did that last week to that auburn hitter?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Jordan looks like he's swinging a toothpick. Kid is strong.

[Activated Alpha]

Another lead off walk. Have we even made a single mound visit this game?

[EdwardDrayton]

What is so 17ing hard to understand about a leadoff walk?!!?

[CaptainObvious]

Lemonis should be fired for indifference. He just doesn?t give a crap any more staying with Holcombe

[Activated Alpha]

Our two only mound visits have been pitching changes. Please fire Foxhall at the end of the season. Even if we make post season, we can do without. This inning is where we lose the game

[CaptainObvious]

We have 22 pitchers on the 41 man roster and 16 of them aint worth a shit and the other 5 can?t pitch past the 4th inning without giving up 5 runs.


That is some really crappy recruiting right there.

[Mjoelner34]

Are the announcers really that stupid? One said Holcombe had "elite" stuff. Dear sir, Greg Maddux had "elite" stuff. Holcombe, like every other guy we run out to the mound besides Cade, Lo and Nixon is a thrower and not a pitcher.

[EdwardDrayton]

This team might make my pastor curse.

[662dawg]

Un17nbelievable

[CaptainObvious]

These guys suck donkey balls! Damn they are awful!! They should have played another sport.


It is plum embarrassing. Just embarrassing that this is the best we could trot out there.

[CaptainObvious]

Just forfeit Lemonis!

[662dawg]

I can't watch this sh!tshow any longer. Good night guys.

[EdwardDrayton]

There are no words.

[Activated Alpha]

That's game. We honestly have the absolute worst pen in the entire nation ranging from D1 all the way to JUCO.

[Activated Alpha]

I can't watch this sh!tshow any longer. Good night guys.

I turned it off too. I mean I know we have gotten most of our runs off home runs, but our hitters at least deserve a fighting chance. Can any of them pitch?

[BeardoMSU]

Wow

[CaptainObvious]

There are no words.
I got plenty of words! It would not be good for me to be standing in front of Lemonis and Selmon right now. They would probably have to whip my ass because they would hear words that would embarrassing a sailor!

Freaking jackasses destroying this program!

[Saltydog]

We're effing horrible. Time to clean house boys. Looking at it any other way is asinine at this point. Flash in the pan, bucket sitting fat boy slim has to GO! If it happened tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough for mr. Take these lower mid major arms too. He's set our program back to Polk 2, early Cohen days. This is painful.

[CaptainObvious]

That's game. We honestly have the absolute worst pen in the entire nation ranging from D1 all the way to JUCO.

There are better pitchers in Class A in Mississippi High Schools. And those pullover wearing bucket sitting crap sticks recruited these stiffs.

[mparkerfd20]

How did our pitching get so atrocious so quickly? Foxhall has ruined this team.

[EdwardDrayton]

I love our players. And I'll just leave it right there.

[CaptainObvious]

How did our pitching get so atrocious so quickly? Foxhall has ruined this team.

Don?t forget his spooning buddy Lemonis.

[Saltydog]

Lemonis is guilty too. He recruited them and they're not SEC quality arms. There's blame to go around.

[Activated Alpha]

I will bet my left nut that every team we face says, "Just get into their bullpen and we win this game." Usually that takes until the 5th or 6th inning....

[EdwardDrayton]

Never ever give up that third run to add to the lead late in the game. Damn.

[EdwardDrayton]

Four run lead. Odds just went upside down on us in a big way.

[CaptainObvious]

I love our players. And I'll just leave it right there.

And we should love them as humans. They just aren?t SEC level players. They could have really good college careers at Delta State and MC. And y?all know I ain?t talking about Hines or Jordan or Ledbetter. The rest should be at lower levels.

I feel bad about Hujsak. That guy was a starter at VCU and can?t get on the field for State. What a dumb idea by him to transfer to State.

[EdwardDrayton]

The fuse was lit last Sunday. Now we wait.

[GolfDawg]

Boy if that play at first doesn?t illustrate the lack of fight in this team, nothing does. Their guy lowers a shoulder into Hines, knocks him on the ground. Hines is a big boy, takes a lot to do that. Hines barely looks at the guy, nobody is there to back him up. Soft.

[Pinto]

This all day and our ****** coach doesn?t get tossed defending him. Soft from top down.

[EdwardDrayton]

We've all hung with our Dawgs until all hope is exhausted. We're running out of oxygen.

I'll hang with these kids until it's officially over.
