We are mashing the ball. Scoring runs faster than a dude hammering miralax before a colonoscopy. Butttttttttttt:
For 2 weeks now we have faced RHP's. Friday we face our first lefty since UPig. Gonna be changing the line-up around some

And Hunter Elliott is good. He's been wild at times, though...so we'll need to be disciplined and get his pitch count up fast.
I assume Wyers will be in instead of Frei. Probably Valincius instead of Parker. Maybe Bevis instead of Stallman? But if we get Elliott out of the game and they bring a righthander in from the bullpen we will have several lefties to pinch hit.
I think Stallman stays inQuote:

How is the olemiss staff beyond Elliot?
There are shitty lefties that can be smoked but Hunter Elliot should be very good on Friday. They have an ugly bull-neck piggy eyed kid named Libbert that is also LHP for Saturday. Their original Saturday dude, a skinny Joe Dirt kid name Townsend is a RHP but is day to day due to arm soreness from two weeks ago. Taylor Rabe is their top relief is RHP. The Joe dirt starter replacement is a RHP transfer from SLU named Owen Kelly.Quote:

Stallman has not been raking lately, but has been hitting the ball hard. Bevis, Wyers, and Vystas come with 600 career collegiate ABs, should be ok.
All of this- it’s going to be interesting
BOC makes the big bucks to get this shit right- I’m genuinely curious how he plays it
Their Saturday guy is probably their best pitcher, but he's been out with a minor injury...supposedly he's good to go for this weekend. We'll see...Quote:

I?m confused about this agenda as well. It?s weird as hell. What?s the point of pointing this shit out? Was 34 a big lemonis guy or something?Quote:

So engagement bait about how we need to do better than losing 4 of 25 games - all away from home, 3 by 3 runs and the other by losing the tie in the 8th. State baseball fans are starved so we're overlooking first year growing pains given that we're clearly a top 5 team in the country. So he's gonna take the opposite side to get reaction.
He's much better at getting engagement on rage bait than on a coffee product.
I agree with C34. If we are going to spend all this money on a club sport and a coach then I expect us to be in Omaha every year and winning most years. Penn State does it with wrestling and they consistently win national championships. Same with Minnesota and hockey. Both sports draw the same national interest as baseball. So if we are going to spend a lot of money on this sport when we are struggling big time in football and basketball then I expect consistent titles
You expect to win Omaha most years now?Quote:

What if someone told you the money going to baseball is coming from sources that don?t affect football at all. Same with basketball.

But I learned something very valuable in 2016, when we were arguably the best team in the country, it only takes one team who has a player on a heater to beat you.Quote:

They are losers who have turned this thing into a baseball vs other sports debate. And it is stupid. Those people are the exact reason I am for 10xing the rig prices because it will price those 50 thousandaires out of their spots. 95 percent of Mississippi State fans support all sports, that minority though will make you think that you are evil if you do not only support baseball. They also will tell you that baseball matters more in the country than it does. I told one of them this weekend that the softball national championship outdraws baseball most years and they told me I was stupid. I then pulled up statistics and they said that I made them up.Quote:

Well, I mean almost the entire board said if we dont make it to Omaha its a disappointing season.Quote:

That's why my personal standard is a SR. If you do that every year you are among the elite in the sport. Now yes, not making Omaha would be very disappointing. But no more disappointing than 2016 or 1989.Quote:

I?m still trying to figure out what I said wasn?t true. I didn?t tell people how to spend their money. I was just making an observation. Baseball is a club sport. Football and basketball are not. That?s a fact. Our fans will pack a baseball stadium but barely show up to the jump. Therefore, our fans care more about baseball. We have financial issues in football and basketball but we chose to spend their money we need on those sports for a club sport. You can get mad about it all you want, but nothing I said is false. When realignment comes around and we get to a super league, it is not going to matter how good our baseball team is. Just look at Oregon State. Nobody cared and they have a better baseball program than we do.Quote:

Back on topic - a Friday night baseball game
Charlie Foster vs Elliot Hunter
I was expecting TV-Duke-Pitzer
The plan is Foster-TV-Duke
If this works, wow. Foster gets a Nickname.
"foster Australian for Kershaw"
NM. I decided to keep how ****ing stupid I think a few people in this thread are to myself.

Soccer is a club sport. As is tennis, softball, golf, and track. You could also argue women's basketball is a club sport. It loses millions every year and is the biggest drain on the athletic program year after year
Ill say it for you, women's sports just in general suck.
