Was channel surfing around to several SEC games and it is just plain obvious every SEC team has players taller and bigger than us. And they have muscles! Perennially lowly BAMA, UGA, and TENN all look like bigger and better clubs than us. KY has a pitching staff that rivals their basketball team.....6'11" / 6'9" / 6'7 / 6'5" and they rip the cover off the ball with Luke Becker and Tristan Pompey. Every SEC team has at least 2 or more pitchers as good as Pilkington. We may be lucky to win 3-5 SEC games this year. This is so sad. The once great SEC program waddling in the bottom of the barrel. And Vandy lost all 3 of their games in Houston Classic where we won all 3. Go figure!

I'm not sure what the infatuation is with some MSU fans and the height of our players is. Kentucky got ripped this weekend by Arkansas. You don't want tall middle infielders usually unless it's an exception like a Cal Ripken. Stovall and Skelton are really the only players that I would consider short for their position- and I can certainly live with a second baseman being 5'8".

If you look up the height and weight of our players I think you would find that this is more perception than reality. And again- freshmen are not going to be as developed and filled out as another teams juniors and seniors.

Play them anyway. Gotta see which ones are our future. This year and maybe next is already blown so it doesn't matter.

Someday when y'all are able to see thru all the bull shat propaganda you will see what the real problem is.

Length doesn’t always equal power hitting. I know some tall baseball players that couldn’t hit a beach ball with a 10 foot light pole

Maybe we should fire the hitting coach.

We should fire the whole staff. They won’t be here after this year anyways.

Yea, I’m saying just because you’re tall doesn’t mean you can smash.

Yeah, I followed you. Just saying acuna is little, but a power house. I watched him in Mississippi and did not think he would generate that kind of power

Ok. That question mark made me think you were saying something else lol. I realized the question mark was your “ sign.

Yeah, we're young and I get it but other than Mangum and Stovall we don't have

another position player that would start for any other SEC West team. We're atleast two years away from being decent in this league.

Now ask yourself exactly why that is.

This is the TRUEST damn thing written on this board in a while. #typicalMSU

Some will have you believe it's Cann's fault. Sure, he didn't develop shit

from last year and we know why but even said he didn't inherit shit from Cohen. If it wasn't for Rooker and Gridley last year we would've been horrible. Rooker absolutely carried that team on his back the first half of the year.

Self, price, pilk, and Cody Brown were really good too. Jake hit .324. Vansau hit .297. Stovall was better last season.

Didn't Cohen leave him Rooker and Gridley? And Cody Brown?

I blame Cohen for recruiting too many JUCO's and the fact that we have to start so many freshmen because he couldn't balance the classes out or identify who would go pro as well as we needed him to.

A lot of that is because of who they had hitting around them in the lineup. Mangum and Stovall didn't have to carry the team because their job was to get on base and let Rooker drive them in. Cody Brown was a good leader who was a fifth year senior which is something this team sorely lacks. Gridley was good too obviously. Vansau was a role player and now we're asking him to hit clean up. We had more roster flexibility with Brown and Mangum to where we could mix and match Vansau and MacNamee better. Lovelady wasn't a great hitter but he was a good leader.

Agree on the Juco's. Don't we have a JC 1st baseman (Penner) who hasn't hardly

this year

I wholeheartedly agree on the Juco's. Prime example is Penner. He's a backup

first baseman that has hardly touched the field this year, if at all. That's a huge miss at a critical position that requires a good stick with some pop.

We evened things up with Vanderbilt though ... women's tennis won 4-0.

Skelton and Gilbert make Lovelady look like damn Johnny bench

One thing I will say about our team...they must be hung like a horse because they sure are managing to step on their dick an awful lot.
