    I've been watching MSU since Ken Tatum

    and this is the first year that i can remember not have at least 1 dominant pitcher. How did we get here? Good Pitching stops good hitting--right? well no wonder we are getting the snot beat out of Us. The SEC is full to the brim with great pitchers--except for US. Who let us get in this shape--Cohen--Lemonis--Foxhall--they are to blame. Someone needs to step up and let's cut our losses and start over. or we can just show up and continue to play like $shit.

    You forget the 2000's? There was a year only Nick Routt (as a freshman) gave the only shot to win a game. Then there was the year that Friday was a Walk-On with 4.0 GPA that did not return for his Senior year, for Vet School or Dental School.

    How many SEC schools have lost their Friday guy to Vet School?

    You're forgetting several years. Polk 2 didn't have a dominant guy often than he did. Few other years tacked on. But we clearly don't have one now. At least not yet

    we have never had the pitching shit show we have now-plus we have a catcher that can;t catch nor throw. Polk 2 had some good catchers and Pitchers that could throw strikes.

    The mental cases are new. MSU did not have freak-out situations like these days.

    In fact we had the opposite where non Rotation guys like Miles Gentry pitches a gem in the SECT, J Billingsley saves the Bullpen in Hattiesburg, John Harden becomes a Walk On Legend, Tim Henderson in 1990, etc

    We have talent. Lo, Loftin, Holcomb, Dohm, Forsythe all have talent. There is just something going on. I don’t know what it is nor does anyone that is not in the dugout, but it’s something…

    Yeah. Something is up. It?s an eyeball feel thing combined with the obvious results.

    Either that or our coaches don?t even go watch many players and just recruit them based on their PG or PBR showcase stats.

    We win tonight—pitching looks better. But damn, we can’t execute a simple run down. Can’t throw to first.
