**Tennessee Game 2 Thread**

[maroonmania]

Y'all need to calm the hell down. We have 6 losses and lost on a call you may never see again in baseball.

Welcome to baseball. Shit happens. Y'all need to calm the hell down and step back from the ledge. We are gonna score 1 run sometimes. It happens. We are gonna lose on crap calls. It happens.

Tennessee can pitch. We didn't hit stuff we probably should have. Welcome to baseball. I've never seen a fan base melt as much as we do about a baseball loss. Why it's the toughest game to play.

Act like grown damn men who actually get the game of baseball folks. This game is obviously not the norm. That's why everyone is melting. Calm down and get some perspective. We win tomorrow.

Crap calls between the white lines is one thing, but getting a call like that on a play that is already over is asinine and destroys the integrity of the game. If it had been me as the HC I would have gotten thrown out of the game over it. Good grief, the out had already been recorded at first and the ball returned to the pitcher. If timeout had not been called there was no reason it shouldn't have been.

Lemonis should have been thrown out over that call. Polk and Cohen damn sure would have.

[Todd4State]

It?s even worse. Plumlee motioned to the umpire to get a new ball before he tossed it and the ump motioned back like he granted him time only to then have a Psych move and rule the two base error. Shouldn?t that get you sanctioned by the league?

It should. I'll tell you what I bet happened. The umpire probably got mad because Plumlee threw the ball away instead of to him and then the umpire made a bitch move. If you want to know the truth.

ANYONE else would have been thrown out. You have to protect your players.

I don't want Lemonis to be an animal...but a little fire every now and then wouldn't kill him. He should have 100% gotten tossed on that call today. It was horse shit

Then I guess Lemonis's response was an even bigger bitch move

Exactly.

I like Lemonis but I can't argue with that.

AGREED Todd. Lemonis appears to be the baseball equivalent to Moorhead as far as temperament goes.

[MarketingBully]

So Lemonis just said about Ginn he just didn’t feel right today. Nothing about arm soreness or anything like that. Game time decision tomorrow and Lemonis said it was no big deal. Not sure where everyone is getting this Sky is falling mentality about his arm. It didn’t sound like it was that big a deal and I think our fans are making a bigger deal about it then it actually was.

Lemonis = Moorhead

[CadaverDawg]

Lemonis = Moorhead

[CadaverDawg]

Lemonis = Moorhead

In fairness, he did more the first 3 weeks offensively than JoMo did all year

[Saltydog]

That is true. I was referring to his temperament though. Both a little too laid back for me. I don't want some whiny ass like Manieri but I like a little emotion e'er now and then.

I think Moorhead has more fire personally. Ask Ole Miss's loudmouth AD.

That?s what people said last week. I?m not melting, but I was never one to believe we had an elite team. Good? Yes, but have several issues. If we couldn?t hit after they threw their ?best 2? pitchers, what makes you believe we will be more patient tomorrow against another average pitcher. We won?t win tomorrow.

I agree

I agree. And based on Lemonis's explanation of the play in question it sounded to me like Plumlee called time out and the umpire told Lemonis that "he didn't see it". That's awful. And even worse that Lemonis didn't go off on him because I guaran-damn-tee you Lemonis knows if Plumlee called time or not.

I think we're just streaky. It's like when we lost to USM 1-0 and then came out and scored 8 the next day. I'm not saying that WILL happen but it could.

I’m still a little miffed at the ump call regarding the Plumlee “error.” First of all, if the play wasn’t dead and the runners had not called time, why didn’t they move up when Plumlee threw the ball into the dugout? If the play was still live, you’d think the baserunners would be looking at where the ball was and take off. They didn’t. You want to know why? Because they asked for and were granted time. They were shocked as hell when the home plate umpire said both runners could advance in. Also, how did they get two bases? I’ve seen one base awarded when a ball goes into the dugout but not two. How was that decided? Plumlee didn’t need time imo because time was already called by the baserunners. That was the biggest crock of shit call I’ve ever seen and any MSU fan defending that call is an idiot.

Does it matter if Plumlee called time or not when the baserunners already called time? If the game was still live at that point, wouldn’t the runners had advanced when they saw Plumlee throw it away. It’s mind boggling that the other umps couldn’t have overturned the home ump because the play was dead when Plumlee had thrown the ball. That was just a cluster**** the whole way around.
