Pitching vs #24 Troy

[Saltydog]

You're drunk. We ain't winning in Tuscaloosa and everybody on this board knows it but you and 7.

[Coach34]

Well yeah it does, but the end of that is a head scratcher. PH for a guy with 3 hits when we need it but do not for a guy who has K?d in 10 of his last 13 and inning before.

Not gonna hit for a Sr team leader. I get it. But he needs to send a message.

Time for Stevens to get some time at 1st

Agree, Stevens or Stallman need time there.

[RezDog7]

That might be 5 dollars or 5 million dollars. I lean towards 5 dollars so I will pass.

I'll take my $5. Large bills please.

Put Stallman there

We are 8 games in. We have a pretty good team with alot of moving parts. Some guys are starting to separate from others. We are going to be fine

I love your selective outrage, lol.

And it's always obvious when you've adopted some type of shtick for a particular season, btw (FB 2023, ftw!).

You'd have a lot more credibility if you could honestly acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses.

Guys y?all are forgetting we made a regional final last year we should be happy

One thing I didn't like is we're playing a top 25 team and we're throwing some guys for the first time this season in week 3.

And sure most of them did well but we had one pitcher who had a meltdown that was pitching his first game this year. That first outing should have happened against Manhattan.

And no this isn't excusing the hitting. They choked. But they also had to work out of a 5-0 hole.

[StateDawg44]

These 2 teams are good enough to be in a Super come June.

If anything is for certain, that Super won?t be played in Starkville.

I'll double down and bet that $5 that msu won't win another basketball game the rest of this year.

[Cooterpoot]

I thought this team would finish about 8th in the SEC, but I'm starting to think 10th or worse now. The deep pen is the only thing keeping me from moving back more, because I trust Parker to get the pitching right.

We've lost midweek games to two top 25 teams in February. It might be an omen. It might be a blip.

Should LSU for their coach for losing to Omaha?

[The Federalist Engineer]

On the bright side today. Pruett looked good. This is big, if Pruett can be 3 or 4 quality long relief innings per SEC weekend, this is awesome.

Other than JT Schnoor everyone pitched pretty well. Gavin Black was basically thrown into a horror show situation. Must be a dog house situation.

If you bat daddy ball 8th, you probably score 2 more runs.

The blessing of losing is that you can make changes that otherwise you can't make very easy. You are not going to be a National seed with this hitting, so you got play the weekend like a knife fight to next remaining goal, maybe hosting a regional.

I?m fine with Lemonis being a CEO coach but if you?re going to be a CEO coach you gotta have A level assistants. Parker fits the bill. Should?ve cut Gotro loose after last season

Rankings in February means nothing. Too early to know what will happen. All I know Lemonis needs to play the best players, a few guys need to sit out awhile.

Starting to think we just need to give Parker the reigns

Hell, the Candy Man could match Lemonis Leadership and evaluation. We know his evaluation sucks but not moving Hines to the bottom or even sitting him a couple of games shows a tremendous lack of Leadership! The cut out of Cowboy sitting in the front row could outcoach Lemonis!

Not crazy about that either, and Black gifted Troy 2 runs with his wildness, but pitching is not the problem. 5 runs against Sun Belt pitching in 18 innings is the problem. So far, we face any decent pitching and we struggle to score including the Missouri State Friday pitcher. We did have 13 hits tonight but we couldn't even put the ball in play when we needed to late in the game. 5 runners on base with less than 2 outs in the 8th and 9th and we couldn't get anyone home.

Don't disagree but I care more how we look in late March/April than in Feb. I know a team who lost to Friday Tulane and Saturday Kent State who agrees with me. (2021 State) Or goose egged against USM and squeaked by Pine Bluff 3-2 (2019 State). 2018 is a bit of an anomaly but we did lose to TAMU CC and Mcneese State on top of the USM sweep loss.


And for good measure how about the team that lost 2 of 3 to Central Arkansas (2013 State)
