Game 1 v. Arkansas

[MarketingBully]

How is a big guy like self not pitch harder than 85?

Because he throws cutter. An elite cutter is Hudson’s at 91. An 85 mph cutter isn’t too bad but depends on the placement.

[maroonmania]

And that is why we should have had somebody else pitching the 8th.

[KOdawg1]

Freaking moronic to have Self out there in a one run game.

[HoopsDawg]

Well in the long run you are trading a loss here for two possible wins. Arkansas pitching from here on out is a crap shoot and Ginn is probably the leagues best Sunday starter. Just wasn’t our night. We can get the tail end of the series.

FCK!()$&$()&()$

Win one up there and we are good. Baseball perspective folks. Funny thing, I ain't even a baseball fan. I'd sell the whole program, and the stadium, for one SEC title in football, and you should too , IF you have the University's national brand at heart. I still keep up and I LOVE the New Dude. I took off to go to the opener, and have been back since. If we have ever done something right athletic facility wise at MSU, the New Dude is it. It's still college baseball, which usually has ratings that lag behind college softball, Baseball is a pro based sport. Good game up there, no matter the outcome.

[MetEdDawg]

I hope one of our guys asks Lemonis after this game why not Eagan against those lefties.

Cost us a much better chance at extra innings or winning this game

[CadaverDawg]

Ha! Who else knew we'd score 1 run when Self gave up that bomb? I can't be the only one

Eagan, Barlow, Gordon, White, anyone. I mean anyone.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Rowdey, wow that was a shitty at bat.

Yeah, it was Lemonis’ dumbest moment as a coach here but he will look like a genius if we win the next two because we were able to knock out and drive up their closer’s pitch count making him useless the rest of the weekend.

Like it or not, the only 2 sports we have a legitimate chance at a Natty are in Baseball and WBB. Even to have a chance at an SEC football title we would need a very down year in the league.

[MetEdDawg]

Eagan, Barlow, Gordon, White, anyone. I mean anyone.

Well Eagan was out there warming up for the exact situation that happened. That string of lefties that came up. It just boggles my mind Self was the guy we went to against that.

[MarketingBully]

Lost but Cronin is burnt for the weekend at 30 pitches. Their pitching staff is ass now. Now we need two straight wins and we have our full bullpen.

Huh? That makes no sense at all. What does that have to do with Self pitching the 8th? We could have thrown any guy in our bullpen and we wouldn't be burned for the rest of the weekend.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well thats baseball. Good coaching to everyone. Good approach by everyone at the plate.

[HoopsDawg]

Umm, no. Cronin can easily come back on Saturday. Damn.

[RougeDawg]

Why did we leave Self in? He was struggling and we had a Lefty Lefty matchup warm in the pen. This L is on coaching and getting picked off of 1st in the 1st.

[CadaverDawg]

Self should only see the mound in midweek games that we are leading by 8+ runs going into the 9th. How does our staff not realize that? You don't win road SEC series with dumb coaching decisions...and throwing your White Flag in a one run game is the type of shit that earns you getting swept.

Cronin will be available Saturday. Had he gotten over 40 I would think otherwise but he will be available Saturday

Honestly, if that's the way you feel, cool for you, but I would rather you not post in another baseball game thread. Baseball is very important to a larger portion of our fanbase.
