Now I will agree that our pitching is underachieving...We do have some talent there that should be pitching better. But position player-wise??? I dont see a top 5 round draft pick anywhere on the diamond for us

maybe Collins if he develops but nobody else.

Best conference in NCAA history? You serious, Clark?

Hold 'em Holder

Had some 'bout a month back. Usually go for mint choc chip so I'd forgotten how good butter pecan can be if it's done right.

C'mom Holder- 1 more baby

BALL GAME !!!

Dawgs win 3-2...**** yeah

Hot Dang Derrick!! Hail Yeah! Glad it didn't take 17 17ing innings!

Huge sigh of relief.

Did I just hear Harry Carry call the final out?

Nice! Great win! Dogs win in extra innings now with Mitchell going tomorrow we should win this series.

I must give Holder props. He pitched well tonight.

"Bad" teams don't go .500 in elite conferences. Granted, anywhere from 8-22 to 22-8 is still technically possible, but judging by the teams on our schedule so far, and the teams remaining, there's no reason to think we won't finish 15-15 or so.

Never in doubt. :-/

hard to 17 up ice cream when it has pecans in it. I hope I can restrain myself to not go fill my bowl up again.. my constitution will be full blown in the a.m.

Thank You Holder, great job.

Hell of an effort by Holder

This. And Humphreys.

That's part of our problem- our best hitting prospects are either freshmen or still in high school.

Indeed.

Dapperdog I always post my name-phone #-my email address and where I sit at DNF, in case anyone wants to stop by and visit. I travel 5 hours every weekend to watch my beloved dogs play baseball. I am not advocating any changes inside our staff but just saying I think we can do better if Cohen would settle on a starting lineup much earlier each year. I don't always agree with things he does but I support him anyway. I go to CWS every year as well. This coming year will be my 18 straight year to go, whether my dogs go or not. I am hoping we right the ship and make it back this year. A consistent winner in my book is a coach who is every year in the top 5 in SEC standings. OOC games to me should be all cup cakes like LSU and other SEC schools schedule so they can get a big win over with few loses and get in top 16 each year so they will have opportunity to get in a Region.

I was going to say Hump but Im not sure he will ever defend enough to make the bigs. Of course, if he strokes like he does in practice, he will find a squad. We got some hitters coming. Im actually more worried about our pitching.

Lindgren is our only sure fire big leaguer on the team. Collins will be there eventually. We simply aren't that good. We don't have any "ballplayers" besides Ross.

---

After seeing Papelbon develop a 99 mph fastball and save 300 games in MLB I'll never put it past anyone once they get in the minors and learn better mechanics/technique. Holder at 92 straight will get rocked but Holder at 96 with movement can make a nice living.

um, cupcakes don't get you in the top 16. IT is better to go 10-10 vs top 100 than 20-0 vs MVSU.

I appreciate you posting and being a baseball fan but....Im not sure, well, nevermind.

what a piss poor expectation level for a MSU baseball program.

We have some guys that need to be grinders, blue collar whatever you want to call them. Not very many, if any of them are going to be in MLB. BUT they can still be good college players if they bust their ass.

Not sure why you're replying to me....... :confused:

paps changed his delivery and developed the nasty that schilling showed him in the minors.

I expect us to go .500 in the SEC in bad years. This is a bad year for MSU and we'll still be .500 in conference.

There are only a couple SEC teams that can expect that and we're one. Nobody goes 20-10 every year.

I think QKing has the same expectation I do for State baseball:

Host a regional
Make a Super and see what happens

We obviously may fall short of that first one- but the 2nd one is still in play

I still expect to win 17-18 conference games. 15-15 would be a disappointing finish, as weak as our second half schedule is.

You don't want to overschedule, but I think most of our fans for baseball like to see at least one weekend of competitive teams. Like what we did in Arizona this year. I think playing in pre-SEC tournaments like the one in Houston, Los Angeles, and New Orleans are going to be good for our program and fun for our alumni. The thing that some of our irrational at times fans have to understand about playing in those tournaments is that we are not going to go 24-0 OOC doing that. It's the trade off- but when you play Baylor, UCLA, and USC we're going to lose a few.

I disagree about the lineup. We have to see what our players can do. If we stayed with the same lineup, we would have never found out what Detz could do last year, and we would have never found out about Heck this year. We have to get our players ready to play- this year and in the future. Letting guys play every day isn't as beneficial. Sure, we may have lost to Memphis, but when it all comes out in the wash we win more games overall because we are able to figure out who the BEST players are.

Hitters are going to go into slumps, guys are going to get hot, and you have to take advantage of that. MLB teams don't have the same lineups every day- why should we expect to have the exact same lineup every day? If it was good to have the same lineup every day, they would do it- BUT they don't.

Meh. Welcome to the SEC. You can go 15-15 in the SEC and still have a very legit chance to win the National Championship. Winning a NC is really all I care about. We're actually built pretty well for the postseason. Deep pitching staff, play good defense. That will keep in games and at the very least give you a chance.
