oh ye of little faith. Pitching definitely wasn't up to par, but our bats will give us a chance in any game.
We can hit 1-9. And we will always have options off the bench. That will always give us a shot.Quote:

Tonight do n big through 6.5 innings and busted up their pen. Kept adding to the lead and did not squander the comeback.
Interested to see if State falls way behind Arkansas starters and keep them on the mound into the 7th. If State is facing their top reliever in the 8th and closer in the 9th, comeback isn?t likely. Got to get better at starting the bats earlier against quality pitching.
Midweek and SEC weekends are different animals because we are throwing our best guys. But as far as offense when we get through our third time through the order the advantage goes to us.Quote:

Most SEC teams would have folded down 7-2. We didn't. We scored 9 runs. I was disappointed that Sweeney and Foster didn't pitch well and Burns allowing home to be stolen was unacceptable. But it was good to see Billingsley pitch better and I really like how Miller is coming along. Ace stepped up obviously and Chone and Reed were clutch as well.
Foster has pitched well out of the bullpen at least. Burns issue is correctable. Webb has been good. Logar hasn't gotten very many opportunities and maybe should get some more to see what he can do. He started at James Madison. I feel like he can give us three innings every Tuesday and be good.Quote:

I?m in a text group of neighbors and they text constantly during the games; I?m getting close to explaining to them that this is a long season and it is way too early for all of this.
So yea, I was pulling for olemiss just to turn the volume down a little in hattiesburg.
When he has horrible complete seasons like Lemonis had for years, then he will be held to those standards. Crying to have him fired over a single game or mistake is bat shit crazy if you ever called yourself any kind of coach much less a baseball coach.Quote:

For the first time in my life, me too. Actually I have in the past in situations where a UM win would significantly benefit us in some way. This wasn't necessarily one of those but I was hoping they would take down USM a notch or two.Quote:

The first 5 pages... Classic State fans. Lolz!
I have had some fun reading the game threads here, On3, and GP this morning. I know I'm quite irrational at times but some people saying that we were mid and wouldn't be hosting was going a bit overboard.Quote:
