*****CWS Game 1 vs Auburn Thread*****

[RougeDawg]

2 out hits are the difference. Auburn has 2. We have 0. If we had 2 we would be up 5-3 minimum.

What ****ing game are you watching?? We've smoked lots of balls. Have a lot of hits. We haven't gotten a key one. Damn you people are clueless about how this game works.

Clueless? What a dunce. Its what you do with men on base or 2 out hitting that makes the difference. The only decent ball we've hit with men on base is Westy's and it went right to the outfielder. The others have been pitiful ABs. Heck, we collected some hits in Hoover as well but didn't score much.

That was a good play by Foscue.

[ShotgunDawg]

Butch knew how to pitch us. Knew we'd be overly aggressive at balls off the plate and specifically early in the count. If we'd have told our guys to take first pitch no matter what this game might be 6-3 us by now.

Correct. Complete immaturity by what's supposed to be a mature team.

[BulldogBear]

Well it is shaping up for Mangum to hit a 2 run double next inning.

More likely a 2 out double the way this night has gone

[Dawgcap]

Completely brain dead.

This is the effort we get from an experienced team. Brutal

So is it the players or coaching? Everyone brags on both when things are good so who we plan on blaming at this point?

Fitts' stats this year...
5.57 era
1.60 whip
11.79 h9
6.86 k9
2.57 bb9

If burns can't get loose, we should have a shot at this guy

EXACTLY. Getting singles with nobody on base doesn't hurt the opposition.

Here we go again

[msstate7]

Good grief

Both. Butch knew to go soft with every critical pitch and we lack the discipline to handle it.

Auburn?s Fitts seems to be a better pitcher than his brother....

Significantly more talented

I'm hoping we pinch hit Hatcher next inning. He's been hitting the ball well and may provide a spark for us

[The Federalist Engineer]

This shot is ridiculous tonight. It's Auburn that looks like they been here before. We are are the damn silly rookies that are awe struck at Omaha.

On my he Baseball side, Butch has gone all in with his pen. This is it with Anderson and Greenhill burned. We just gotta get the job done.

[CadaverDawg]

I've got to find a new hobby. Watching MSU athletics hoping for success is like watching Old Yeller over and over again hoping the dog dies of old age after a long life

Hell just let pitches go by. He will walk a shit ton of players. We’ve ****ed ourselves by being overly aggressive and worse we haven’t adjusted one bit.

[KOdawg1]

Lol 17 this team.

[Homedawg]

You go you **** home. Your not going to bitch at me *****

I glad cussing made you feel better

[maroonmania]

Time to turn out the lights, the party's over.
