We just need to wait on better pitches here.
Is the Auburn pitcher Tubberville's son? **
Small bought himself another inning with that last one
Just getting very little from Mangum these days. Not barreling much up.
Another groundball
He's very jumpy. Not seeing the ballQuote:

I thought Westburg's hit was gone
Flashbacks of last year. Stranded runners with plinkers to the shortstop and pop flys to the warning track. Ugh...
Message boards are a reflection of the total mindset, at least at MSU. They have always been a pretty accurate reflection. Not once has anyone even entertained the possibility that we might lose tonight. We still probably find a way, but anyone associated with MSU for many years could have foreseen this. We were cocky.Quote:

Dang. Fly balls don't get it done
This pitcher is not that good. Our approach is just bad
And took a strike right down the middle.Quote:

If this is 2019 CWS version of Mangum we're not gonna win it. Hopefully can avoid 0-2.
No fluke in that homer. Small gave him the exact pitch he was looking for. Anything else and dude would have K'dQuote:

Auburn is a shit team. This is embarrassing.
Nobodies fault. It's earlyQuote:

Somebody said in another thread today that the bats havent been good away from home. We are staring it right in the face again. I hate to worry in the 3rd inning but this looks a lot like Hoover
Yeah, not sure what happened thereQuote:

Bats have really not been that good for a while. Been forever since our offense has scored double digit runs. Every game has been 5-7 runs. We did get the 8 runs against Stanford off the late 3 run Mac homer but even games where we get 15+ hits we aren't getting a ton of runs.Quote:

I'll sign up for 5-7 runs right nowQuote:
