SEMO Game Thread?

[engie]

Bout time for Collins to put one in the gap and put them out of their misery...

What does it take for Cohen to find his "not overmanaging" style that he had for the majority of last year?

A couple of doubles hitters?

What makes it worse like we saw in 2012 is that playing Cohenball with bad hitters is actually WORSE than doing it with better hitters. Cohenball is bad but is made worse with a lesser lineup.

Thats the thing the "we don't have power so we have to play small ball" crowd doesn't get. The shit is bad baseball always, even more costly with lesser hitters because you are costing your team puts without having the bats to make up for the negative percentages.

NVM...another sac bunt...

Let's see if it works out this time...

[messageboardsuperhero]

Wow. That was not pretty, but it was a win.

Let's put that one in the rearview mirror and play better this weekend.

[mstatefan91]

Walk off by Hendu. Good guys win an ugly one!

[engie]

That a baby Henderson!!!!

Glad we can put this one behind us. 3-2 Dawgs.

Bring on the Hawgs....

[Political Hack]

See your wrong****

[maroonmania]

The ugliest MSU win I've seen in a LONG time. But still better than a loss for sure.

[mstatefan91]

Ugly? Yes.. But a win and tonight was not a good night for ranked teams.

[Coach34]

Just Win Baby in the Midweek

[engie]

I'll take it for sure... That could have been brutal to an RPI game we're already playing catch up on...

Need some big wins on the road.

[State82]

Ugly? Yes.. But a win and tonight was not a good night for ranked teams.

Yep. #2, #3, #7,#12, #13, #22 all lost.

[engie]

Could potentially end up being a top 100 win too if a couple of things go their way...

[Quaoarsking]

SEMO is currently leading their conference. This will probably be a top 100 win for us and a win over an NCAA Tournament team.

There's nothing to scoff at about this win now that it's over.

[Todd4State]

Not pretty- but I'll take it. The base running gets an F tonight. Hopefully that's an aberration because we've been pretty good for the most part all year up until tonight.

It sounds like Woodruff is getting better- but still not quite there yet. I think he had 38 pitches and threw 20 for strikes. That has to get better.

We pitched well other than Gentry and played good defense- and that's our recipe for success with what we have.

Our "lesser hitters" are also pretty fast for a team. We have to take advantage of that. Telling "lesser hitters" to go out and string three hits in a row to get a run is not "maximizing" our talent. It certainly works better when we run the bases well- and we didn't do that tonight.

You can point to tonight's game which we won anyway. I'll point to the game we won where we beat Tyler Beede.

The only negative pitching-wise was the walks- I think we had 7-8, and most of those came from our non-freshmen. That absolutely cannot continue if we want to be successful. With our defense, we need to force teams to put it in play. Gentry has to be better.

Defense was solid outside of Gentry's poor pickoff throw- again, he has to be better.

Offensive execution and base running were a train wreck, and I'll just leave it at that. No excuse for the 8th inning.

I picked a good night not to be able to watch. Glad I spared my eyes but got to see that we picked up the W

I agree on all points. I'm just glad we got through and came out with a win. This was a trap game for us- and Jacksonville State will be one later in the year.
