Notre Dame is better than us. They gave it away yesterday. They've figured out our 1B is a weak link too. Season ends tomorrow if we don't light it up.. Lemonis has got to coach defense at some point. His teams are at the bottom every year.

I expect to lose, but I do want to see 2 things...
1. Make them use their good arms to close out this win.
2. Use no one in our pen that can help tomorrow
Can we stop with the jersey fascination? Haha
I want Hatcher at first and Leggett at SS
We are going to fool around and let this guy for ND pitch a dang complete game which would leave them with a lot more pitching options tomorrow.
leadoff single for the irish.. need to leave him stranded.
welp mac is down. here comes brandon smith.
Well here comes Smith.
Dang, don't burn Brandon Smith. We should be pitching someone that we won't need tomorrow at all.
That hit is a perfect example of today. Just perfect location on a weak grounder. This isn't our day.
Why Brandon Smith here? He wouldn't be one of your first 2-3 options tomorrow, but he's definitely on the list. Unless we put up at least 2 next inning, he doesn't need to pitch more than 1 so he's still available.
Hard to when he only threw 8 pitches last inning.Quote:

Forsythe fielding percentage is .85 or something, combo that with his staggering .235 BA and you might as well go with Leggett.
Would not pitch Smith here.
That ball was struck pretty good. Certainly wouldn't call it weak.Quote:

Harding for 4, maybe 5?
Preston Johnson for 2?
Sims for 2?
Is this a doable plan? Who picks up the inning if Harding only goes 4?
Didn’t Hancock go like 4 for 10 with 4 RBI’s in the regionals and knocked in 2 runs yesterday?
Exactly. Everything has gone against us today. Flush it and come out on fire tmr.Quote:

f.... homerun 8-1.
That has been the issue all year. We have more holes in the field and in the lineup than we have good players to plug them. We have done well to have the season we've had as a national seed given what we have to work with.Quote:

The announcers not being on site is really showing tonight.
They're gonna kick our ass tomorrow, aren't they?
Please lose ark and OM
I know everyone thinks I’m crazy but I swear I’d have to consider starting sims tmr.Quote:

Turn out the lights the party is over !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so typical of State. Big comeback win yesterday, momentum on our side and CWS in our sites, monster crowd.....and we lay a big F'ing egg and let some junk throwing lefty own our asses. Now we'll have to attempt to win with our bullpen arms and a small crowd on a Monday. We are truly MSU
Yes, I think so.Quote:

I think there's about a 1% chance of that. Harding for 7 and sims for 2?Quote:
