Simmons may be earning that closer role
If only they had gone to Simmons instead of tullar earlier.
Damn it. I thought LT had tied it up. This team aint got it right now.
Tanner has not hit a lick at a snake so far this year
Skinny lemonis sucks. We need fat lemonis back.
This team just embarrassed our program.
That right there is a very, very bad loss.
Awful awful awful soul searching loss
This is the type of loss that keeps you from hosting. Still can, but we just erased our margin for error. What a terrible loss.
Lol......4 freaking hits........Sims 0-2......
17-31 a year ago
Are they feeling the National Championship a little too much?Quote:

That was not fun to watch and made it easy on me to decide to stay home tomorrow instead of riding up to sit in the cold.
I am getting a little entitlement vibe from this team. They thought they were too good to play NKU and got their shit pushed in.Quote:

I?ll be there tomorrow with my gloves and gaiter. But I?m old; life experiences have taught me how to hold my water when things are a little tough. Its only Game 5 folks.
Yep it's only game 5. And we've lost 3 of them.Quote:

I'll be the one to say it and take my lumps from sunshine pumpers. After winning a Natty, following that with a start like this (thru 5 games...we'll get better) is soooooooo Mississippi State.
For those that couldn't watch or were unable to follow, don't be fooled by the scoreboard. It wasn't that close. Heretofore winless NKU just absolutely THUMPED the defending national champions.
It is early and things could definitely turn around. Gonna need the older guys to step up in a big way though.Quote:

I guarantee there are some hungry freshman who would have loved to have a crack at a guy who had a 136 ERA coming in!!! Not a 1.36 or 13.6 a 136. Utterly embarrassing
We just got owned by a guy toting a 136 ERA coming into the game today. I think times are WAY past tough.Quote:

We are in trouble this year. Plain and simple. Any pitcher that can throw a change up, curveball, or hell even a fastball will give us trouble.
I think Northern Kentucky used to be D II with Delta State. So there is our 1984 Mississippi College loss.
But truthfully, 11.7 scholarships make a lot of Big schools vulnerable to the low end loss, especially if Dugout Leadership is missing.
There is no excuse for losing to NKU on a Friday. Sorry. There just isnt
F'n AQuote:

We are the National Champion ALL SEASON. Time for us to act like it. We?re no longer the Mississippi State fans of yesterday yearning for that first crown. We OWN THE CROWN!
Past time for the team to realize that they are the National Champion as well and all year will be tough. If we don't wake up we are in real trouble, we have stunk it up this year and don't appear to be getting better or care.Quote:

OK I?ll play with IF THEN hypotheticals. IF we figure it out, and certainly there are plenty of games left to do so, THEN we will be right back in a super regional playing for Omaha. Projecting an entire season lost from a five game sample size is not worthy of our standing as National Champion.Quote:

Who I really feel sorry for*** is the Fair Weather fans that just started liking baseball last year. They bought the stock, top of the market. Sorry fellas.
For existing long term fans, you knew this years team was a wildcard. TA is a Greatest Of All Time in any sport for MSU. You don't replace that overnight or super easy. Losing to a DII team happens when you get a weak batch. The team will get better, but I don't think this team has bottomed. If Stinnett and Tullar really are the best relief we got on Friday, woof!
But it's not just the relief pitching. Polk says the NKU pitchers were lobbing low 80s MPH fastballs with curve ball with very little snap. The NKU pitchers did their best to give MSU two 10 run innings. It was the top of the order that went 0-11 tonight. It will get better.
Losing TA is a good excuse for losing sec games, but NKU? Come on. I'm not freaking out this early, but we need to pound this team Saturday and SundayQuote:

Well, we have 2 projected 1st round picks right now. It's early and it's been cold. No way to judge anything yet.
Not just losing to NKU, losing to NKU at home, a previously 0-3 team, with the Ace starting, and only getting 4 hits. It's going to be fun to watch this team grow, improve, develop, and see how far they go.Quote:
