Just think how good our baseball team would be if they did not suck like you all said

Amen. It's like everyone forgets we were 12-10 and 0-3 in the sec with 7 pitchers out with TJ surgery. No one's frustration had to do with bad coaching or anything, it was a general frustration with all the injuries likely robbing us of a decent regional shot. It's completely different from when someone wants a coach gone and the coach starts winning. No one in their right mind wants cann gone already and no one was blaming him for our problems early in the year. Just because we looked like shit early in the season and the outlook wasn't pretty doesn't mean we want the team to fail, it means we looked like shit and there were no signs of it being better moving forward.

Let's give Henderson props too. What this pitching staff is doing is nothing short of miraculous. Decision making on his and Cann's part is outstanding.

Damn, got spread some rep around, so I guess you get my 2 cents instead. Everything you say is spot on. I'll add that the impatience is how you can always pick out people who didn't play baseball at any level higher than Little League - if that. And if MSU fans should have learned since 2011, it's that baseball is a long season and sometimes all it takes is the right spark for a huge run.

Poor Cann is in way over his head with the garbage Coinz left him**

I guess that's the Miss State DNA and to add to it we eat our own. You have to give those pricks over on the ole miss side credit, they might be ass holes but they are not ass hole to themselves. No matter how bad things are they never give up hope, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel but State fans we are walking through that tunnel expecting a good old fashion nutt kick at the end.

I'm 74 and have been a MSU fan since about 58/59 and as long as I can remember we MSU fans live by Murphy's Law.

Has anyone noticed how you can see the patience in Cann when they show him on the sidelines?

People can't separate this from the football mentality of one game a week. Mental midgets.

I predicted 16-14 in the SEC and will be stoked when we surpass that. Props to Cann, the staff, and the 23 healthy bodies grinding this out.

I played baseball through HS and it's still my favorite sport. Just because the season is long doesn't means crappy team is going to turn into a good team. Fact is, we looked like a crappy team after the arkansas series and the usm game, and most of those games were against some of the weaker opponents on our schedule. It's completely illogical to assume a team that's 12-10 against the weaker part of its schedule will suddenly turn into studs against the sec, but they did. And I'm damn excited they did.

15-15 was my benchmark for a successful season. 12-18 would probably have been my prediction going into conference play. This is the most optimistic and relaxed I've ever been with an MSU team in any sport because they've already blown my expectations out of the water.

That's great

I'm personally thrilled with this team and the job Cann was doing. And I'm happy to admit my wrong-ness about the potential we had (although I never held that against Cann as much as the situation he inherited). I'm still pretty dumbfounded that we are doing what we are doing and have just decided swear off arguing with the message board experts who still insist about bitching about the small things we aren't doing the way they want to see it.
