Their first 5 batters are big boys! We should sit fastball on their starter. Keeps it around the plate, but not throwing it past you. His offspeed is not bad right now bc he?s hitting his spots. Error by Buckner?..what?s up with second base and the errors?that?s 3 in 10 innings!
Cue up the 4th k in the first 4 MSU batters.
We are being overmatched by 88-90mph fastballs.
Well Chance had a hard hit but still an out. Not thrilled with how our first 4 batters struck out on this nobody. Of course, it would be a very State thing to do is make him look like Nolan Ryan
1-0 Mizzou State T3

Now that?s funny and sad at the same time.Quote:

Finally a mistake by their all star pitcher with a HBP on Downs. First baserunner for state in the game
Their pitcher is already at 44 pitches. I imagine he's on a 75-80 pitch count this early in the year. So even if he continues to have success, he will be out by the 6th.
We are being a lot more patient at the plate this year, almost patient to a fault.
Through 9 batters he has 6ks. I highly doubt they pull him if he's mowing us down. They'll continue to ride him as long as possible
Head scratcher by Highfill with a bunt for hit attempt with 2 on and 2 outs. Of course he's out
Bunting with 2 outs and a runner in scoring position? What are we doing?
Who the hell just called for a bunt with two outs???? Like WTF
Buckner gets a hit, and we bunt with 2 outs and leave 2 on base. Not a fan!
2 outs, 2 men on? Let's bunt. Sure, why not?
So well coached.
And right back to the pitcher.
This team lacks a lot of talent and even more coaching. Going to be another rough season in Dudyville
Over/under on pop-ups, despite wind blowing in from center?
Every year we always seem to make some random OOC nobody look like Nolan Ryan
I hate to agree with this but it's the truth unfortunatelyQuote:

Haven't scored in 14 innings.
Everyone is overreacting in February ***
I really want lemonis to work out. I really do. I hate everything about this
Alright dawgs, you got the lead off walk. Now to make them pay for it like everyone else makes us pay for it
Nope, guess it's just us that can't make the opposing team regret walking the lead off batter
It's easy to see we can't evaluate, recruit, and develop hitters much. We can sign a high end prospect here and there but we've got to do better. Gotro is becoming Foxy real fast. He's gotten lazy instead of crazy.
Setting up for another wasted Friday night start
I think Todd has said for the last 3 years at least that he hates how Gotro operates with letting our hitters flounder, but it doesn't explain Hines who is basically the same batter he has always been.
We run it back with bad hitters and sign small school heroes. When Chance might be your best hitter, you haven't recruited at all.
Hines still can't go opposite. That has never changed.Quote:

He and Cheese got too comfortable winning with Cann?s players. They?d rather be in the gridiron club getting plastered during football games together than doing their jobs.Quote:

Letting a freshmen, playing in his 2nd game, completely dominate us. Lovely
If we don't score a run here, I highly doubt we will with the next 6 outs. Can't believe we will possibly lose to this scrub team
It’s early in the seasonQuote:

We did some things correct today but a lot to work on(why in the heck didn’t you have the team prepared to start the season)
And the one that drives me crazy the most! We hit a lot balls hard but they didn’t fall in!
