Damn .......

[EdwardDrayton]

Just shuddered with that Gene Morgan flashback.

[Mjoelner34]

Yeah that looked bad. Even if it isn't too bad you know that dude will be in a boot tomorrow.

[EdwardDrayton]

Seriously?!!? Twice in one game?!!? We're taking target practice on this pitcher's extremities.

[starkvegasdawg]

He must have drank Jobu's rum.

[EdwardDrayton]

Very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Very bad. :)

[EdwardDrayton]

Walks. There's a new theme. ****

[Activated Alpha]

Take Holcombe out now. Two back to back walks then 3 run dinger. However our great skipper wants to keep him in

[CaptainObvious]

Take Holcombe out now. Two back to back walks then 3 run dinger. However our great skipper wants to keep him in
Little late now. He should have never faced their 8 and 9 hitters. They over matched Holcombe.

[Activated Alpha]

However we should have more than 2 runs with bases loaded twice in the early innings. We honestly suck when we get bases loaded

[Activated Alpha]

Walk walk walk. I honestly cannot wait till we purge some of these non sec pitchers

[CaptainObvious]

Need to purge a lot more than just a few pitchers.

[BeardoMSU]

Lol we are so bad at this game.

[Activated Alpha]

Need to purge a lot more than just a few pitchers.

A lot of our issues stem from the shitty pitching in most cases

[CaptainObvious]

Well we knew State would have to average 10 or more runs a game this weekend to get a sweep.

[EdwardDrayton]

Bart: "If we're looking for positives, we haven't hit anyone". LOL!!

[CaptainObvious]

Alford has to get the runner at the plate there. He has him on the force if he throws it.

[CaptainObvious]

A lot of our issues stem from the shitty pitching in most cases

And the crappy batting with the bases loaded. I can find multiple mistakes by Alford in this game but Lemonis must be dating his mother.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Good luck af South Alabama Slate Alford

[CaptainObvious]

Good luck af South Alabama Slate Alford

More likely Alabama Huntsville. That way he can eat his momma?s biscuits.

[Activated Alpha]

And the crappy batting with the bases loaded. I can find multiple mistakes by Alford in this game but Lemonis must be dating his mother.

I agree, but that has been an issue for us as long as I can remember. It is like a state curse whenever we get bases loaded. Rarely do we ever capitalize on that situation. The past two years have been walks, walks, walks

[Activated Alpha]

And look another walk

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Throwing strikes is hard.

[Activated Alpha]

Honestly we are now below 50% in throwing strikes with those two walks for the entire game. If I was a batter, I would not even swing.

[Mjoelner34]

Danny Noonan gonna Danny Noonan.

[Cowbell]

I guess we are just gonna concede the season right here

[Mjoelner34]

Walk walk walk. I honestly cannot wait till we purge some of these non sec pitchers

Every pitcher not named Cade Smith or Lo should be purged before lunch Sunday. Nixon can stay but I think he's draft eligible isn't he?

[Cowbell]

The only reason this continues to be mildly entertaining is because Bart is over the suckage.

[BeardoMSU]

This is fun.**

[EdwardDrayton]

Botch the DP. Then allow the run with a PB. Almost comedic.

[Ranchdawg]

We suck at pitching! We suck at hitting! Can?t field the ball worth a crap. Is there any thing we do really well besides issuing walks. This season can?t end fast enough for me and this clown coach quit driving our program further in the ditch.

[Cowbell]

The pitching is so bad, you can't just blame the pitching coach.

[CaptainObvious]

The clown show continues all the way to the end of the season. Scary to think the Head Clown is going to get another year to see if he can be even worse next year. We may get our sweep this weekend. Just not the one we were looking for.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

7 runs on 3 hits

[CaptainObvious]

My sincere apologies to Slate Alford. He is the best we have with the bases loaded!

[bulldawg989]

7 runs on 3 hits

But Todd and 34 say we're not really that bad...

[EdwardDrayton]

We might go down with the ship but at least we're standing proud on the bow.

[Pancho]

getting tighter here now

[Mjoelner34]

Hunt's follow through looks different on every pitch from hopping to turning his back to home plate to falling down....etc.

[EdwardDrayton]

How 'bout we not make the first out at third this time, Kellum.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Hancock does what Hancock does best.

[CaptainObvious]

My apologies for apologizing to Alford after that crappy at bat not seeing a single pitch in the strike zone and still managing to strike out on 5 pitches. And the Captain follows up his last at bat as a spectator with another sizzling double play ball.

[Activated Alpha]

Two DPs this game Hancock. Would probably just have you bunt because you are basically an auto out at the moment

[Activated Alpha]

Yeah shouldn?t have apologized to Alford in the first place. He got lucky with that double and looked like he didn?t even know it was going to be fair. He was like oh shite I have to run

[Mjoelner34]

It would have priceless if Larry would have hit the ground writhing in pain like the guy did several years ago on an eephus pitch.

[CaptainObvious]

Hit it on the screws. But when you are a bad team, bad things happen to you.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Why couldnt Hines take a strike?

[maroonmania]

This team is cursed.

[CaptainObvious]

3 times bases loaded. 3 times no runs.

[DownwardDawg]

Brutal

[msstate7]

Why couldnt Hines take a strike?

A pro hitter, I turn loose every time in that situation. A college hitter, take. College pitchers walk way too many to not take a strike.

[CaptainObvious]

If they had brought everyone in for a play at the plate that one gets by the 2B. But you just saw a great example of coaching. In at the corners, and double play depth in the middle and it worked to perfection.

Our opponents know how to go the other way with a pitch don?t they.

[NashvilleStache]

Doesn?t matter, cursed or not. They suck, we have 3 freshman/sophomore?s that could start elsewhere in the SEC, and a bunch of players nowhere near SEC caliber. That?s not evening mentioning the abortion of a pitching staff, but we will win with a shamrock in Lemonass?s ass.

[CaptainObvious]

Looks like Aggies dugout having a good chuckle at Bandana Dohm.

Hines
Jordan
Led
Mershon
Larry

Would start just about everywhere in the SEC

Clark/Hancock would start for at least half the SEC. Hancock has had a good career he just hasnt had a good Sr season

[EdwardDrayton]

We find it difficult to hang on to the rope with our own neck in the guillotine.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

15 walks and a hit batter.

[msstate7]

There's been a combined 21 walks and 19 k in this game. Why in the world would you turn a hitter loose in a 2-0 bases loaded spot down 1? Chances of drawing a walk are better than a hit.

BTW, 21 bb and 19'k is horrible. College baseball is really hard to watch

[Leeshouldveflanked]

We made that strikeout look a lot harder than necessary.

[Coach34]

If they actually use the ball/strike review at the end of the season, there will be a lot of out of work umpires

[CaptainObvious]

Should pinch hit for the Captain here. Even if he ties it or wins it, he just has not lived up to a leader title that comes with that C. I hope he comes through here, but I will be surprised if he does.

[msstate7]

Ton of k. Ton of bb. He could be our reliever

[msstate7]

Hancock is a future little league coach. His ability to hit ground balls is gonna really help those kids learn to field

[msstate7]

This game is insane. Great slide to score and take out pitcher, Dakota haha

[msstate7]

Wow, still alive.

[NashvilleStache]

I can agree with Led and possibly Larry, Hancock is terrible, reason he bats so low. Clark, what?s he done since the HR in the CWS. I?ll hang up and listen. Pitching is the biggest issue, and I think we can agree on that. Need 1 big hammer and a few bullpen guys from the portal and we may be ok.

[Really Clark?]

Have you night Larry!! But why in the world are you pitching to him at 3-1 with 2 open bases???

[CaptainObvious]

How bout them Bulldogs!!!!!

[Pancho]

boom

[Quaoarsking]

Not dead yet!

Clark leads our team in BA in league play. .344 to be exact,

[Cowbell]

Well that ended up being more fun than I thought.

And the chirping A&M dugout goes crickets. M over S m17r.

[DownwardDawg]

Dangit I missed it!!! I saw us tie it on the wild pitch. Had to take a call. Hung up and it was over. I'll take it!!

ok troll.

Hancock is career .280 hitter with an OBP of .415

[BeardoMSU]

These boys are still playing for this staff. We improve the pitching, we'll be back.

[Quaoarsking]

Get to 11-19 and the selection committee will at least be thinking about us. Just sayin'.

[BeardoMSU]

Well that ended up being more fun than I thought.

Indeed!

[NashvilleStache]

Love it, and kudos. The hit he had earlier should?ve been a DP, but I regress. Love we won tho, regardless.

We are hell in the 9th inning it seems.

Yeah it's obviously been a crappy season but the kids and the staff have never quit. If we had back some of those games we blew early. We've blown 6 sec games where we had the lead late, just dang. We struckout 14 batters tonight and walked 15 lol, that's like 9 year old baseball!

Also tells you what the players think about lem.

You have 32 posts in 10 years. Troll is probably pretty apt since you also started a stupid ass thread in the middle of a game we won basically the same way we’ve won the last two.

[Activated Alpha]

I will honestly say I thought Lemonis lost this team after Arkansas series, but he has somehow figured out a way to get these kids to buy back in. I still have my opinions on Alford and the majority of the used pitching staff, but our freshman and sophomores are building the teams for the next few years

Yeah, you?re right, I?m a troll dipshit because I have a life. Doesn?t mean I don?t read daily. Stoked we won, and like I told everyone earlier, we would win. Seems you are the troll after reading your posts all week.

[DawgFromOxford]

Can?t give enough credit to Hunt tonight. Pitched 100 pitches. Kept the game within reach and saved our staff for the next 2

[CaptainObvious]

Agreed. He had his usual control problems but he held it together. The only way we see KC Hunt pitch again this year is if UGA and Missouri get swept and State sweeps.

[basedog]

Can?t give enough credit to Hunt tonight. Pitched 100 pitches. Kept the game within reach and saved our staff for the next 2

Pitched his best game of the year. Glad to see him closing his career on a positive note.

[parabrave]

Lemon even said that in his postgame pressor. He also said that the HR was his fault as he called the wrong pitch.

If you are referring to the line drive pulled inside the fair pole in right, that was just a great piece of hitting. The guy went down to get the inside corner pitch, actually falling to one knee.

Better solution IMO- dock their pay for being bad.

His last ground ball was pretty key to us winning. Little things like that where a hitter does his job go unnoticed sometimes.

Let's be honest- we usually play like crap against Arkansas.

And Arkansas is really good. This might be their year to win the National Title.

The last three games have been Mississippi State baseball. Grind, fight, scratch and claw and find a way to win.

Brining Foxhall back almost got Lemonis fired.

Lemonis firing Foxhall might have saved his job.

Too bad he didn't fire him after Frisco like I wanted.

[99jc]

Looks like you should have listened to us.

Todd this Team does suck! i just don't see next year being much better and it is painful.

[msstate7]

His last ground ball was pretty key to us winning. Little things like that where a hitter does his job go unnoticed sometimes.

Moving the runners up with 1 down already to set up a WP? My comment was in jest; but for real, when you've hit into 2 DPs, I don't give you much credit for hitting another groundball with runners on 1st and 2nd... his saving grace was it was weak contact. You have to lift the ball in that spot. It did work out though

[Dawgface]

Lifetime contract baby!

[bulldawg989]

Looks like you should have listened to us.
Keep toting that bucket boy.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Todd this Team does suck! i just don't see next year being much better and it is painful.

We have good pieces. We just have to find a way to put them together on a consistent basis. We will need to search the portal for a minimum of 5 pitchers, a 3B, and at least one more outfielder. Probably would not hurt to see if we could find a backup C either. I imagine Highfill will be the only one left at the position come fall
