Game 1 v. Arkansas

Eagan should have been in there to run these lefties. I simply don't understand that at all leaving Self in there

Oh well maybe tomorrow

It was dumb as shit if you thought you could win this game.

Probably on the second time I have really 2nd guessed Lemon all year other than smaller decisions like starting Halter over Gilbert.

It's a one run game with Mac-Fosc-Jordan up. Of course you think you can win the game.

Lol at our coaches not knowing Self throws BP when we've all known it all year. Oh well....now the goal is don't get swept

Yep. Win tomorrow or Saturday to salvage one. Frustrating loss tonight.

Guys, we can physically score 3 in an inning. Not out of the realm of possiblity. But we kind of need to keep them from adding more. We had a pretty weak performance tonight. Reminds me of Tuesdays game. Just not ready to compete.

LOL @ those saying Gilbert was better than Halter on defense.

If Gilbert starts the game, he doesn’t make that goof up.

Westburg HAS to go get that ball. What the hell is he doing just standing there?

All his stuff on the black to two inches off can be hit opposite field. We aren't doing that. But trust me, if you would rather go down the way we are going down tonight, which is 50% of our outs being strikeouts be my guest.

You will lose every time, so let me know when my kids can play your kids

go look at @tberk20 on twitter. Former MSU player. He has a good pic of the strike on Rowdey. If you coach your team to swing at that, then I would love to play you every game.

If he has to be in a game a long time to catch an infield pop up on the dirt he doesn't need to play ever

Lemonis must just consider this a throw away game to have kept Self in this long. You know Self is going to give up a long ball if he stays in for long.

How is a big guy like self not pitch harder than 85?

Why would I coach my team to do that? But in game you adjust. That pitch isn't a strike. It's a garbage pitch and he shouldn't swing.

That's the only one all night that was that bad. Only one. Everything else has been hittable with a two inch zone expansion. So explain the other 9 strikeouts

Guess Self took away any drama to this game.

Well in the long run you are trading a loss here for two possible wins. Arkansas pitching from here on out is a crap shoot and Ginn is probably the leagues best Sunday starter. Just wasn’t our night. We can get the tail end of the series.
