Mangum awful on the basepaths entire career

He's awful on the basepaths because he tries crap that you can get away with in HS and against crap college teams but result in outs against good defensive college teams.

[ShotgunDawg]

You call pedophilia a massive mistake? Do you even know what he did?

Yes, I'm well aware of the situation.

Do you care what type of kid or teammate he is?

[preachermatt83]

Cole is the one pitcher we have who has drastically improved under Henderson. No one else has but that sucker has.

[CoachT14]

Their catcher can frame, but he frames pitches a foot outside and holds em. This would piss me off as an ump

I've seen some catchers do way worse (Skelton). But you're right he's definitely pushed the issue on a few pitches and most umpires don't like it at all.

[KOdawg1]

Maybe we should've started Cole Gordon

How much does not having a coach at 1st hurt us?

For the 1,000,000th time, this isn't 8 year old coach pitch. It is 100% up to the base runner whether or not he can make it to 2nd there or not.

I’m calling a win!! They are cruise control. We start hitting and they panic. My thoughts

[somebodyshotmypaw]

No need to pile on.

You may be surprised by this, but he's actually a really nice kid & teammate.

You have no problem piling on MSU players who are law abiding citizens. But want to give compliments to a player who molested a six-year old child. Unreal.

He’s a child molester and he did it. He shouldn’t be playing college or professional ball.

Oregon State is the best college team I've seen at staying behind the baseball the baseball & creating extension

With extremely fast hands

It's Jake's read, but I still hope the new HC puts a paid coach over there.

[Bulldog1]

That's one thing that's bothered me with our team and teams in the past. We act like 12 year olds in the dugout. Down by 4 in a semi-final game, and dudes are dancing around acting stupid. It's good to have fun, but we should be pissed off we're getting embarassed on prime time TV with so much on the line.

This.

I will give you props every day for a full year if it happens. I’d love it

It's a little different on a message board than in person.

You don't know my perspective.

Let's just drop this

[MarketingBully]

Hey Cadaver if Allen doesn’t dive for a ball and let’s Stovall get to it and throw the guy out at first this game is 1-0.

[confucius say]

Cole pitches with great tempo. Best tempo on staff

[msstate7]

Cole gordon has turned the corner. We really need to sell him on staying. He and small are our 2 biggest recruits imo

[ShotgunDawg]

He?s a child molester and he did it. He shouldn?t be playing college or professional ball.

You make good points, but this is a debate for another day.

I see things from a different perspective & don't want to get into it.

I really think Keegan James is going to be a solid SEC starter for us next year.

That's fine with me. I just don't think people realize how little a 1st base coach does in college baseball (or even high school for that matter. There's been one situation this year where people where bitching about the lack of a first base coach and I thought that they had a legitimate point.
