MSU vs Mental Midgets of Mississippi

[Todd4State]

They are really bad in the clutch, sans Hines HR at Vandy. They are good baseball players that will be drafted pretty high, really high in the case of Jordan, but they have been bad in the clutch. If they were hitting 7 and 8 in the order then no one would bat an eye, but they bat 3 and 4 and generally K or ground out in clutch situations.

They consistently- as in every time try to do too much.

Lemonis needs to sit them down individually and tell them that getting a base hit is Ok. They don't have to carry the team. The biggest hit in MSU history was a seeing eye single from Tanner Leggett. Sometimes that's all you need.

I knew from what I heard about Hujsak when he transferred here he would wind up being big for us before he left. Folks I trust told me about his character and work ethic and they were right. Hujsak is the kind of player you need on every team. Man i wish he was gonna be back but maybe he can produce a little more magic for us this year.

With him back now and with Augers performance and Dohm and Pico back, this team is extremely dangerous.
Of course, they are capable of getting run ruled also! Haha!!

The problem is that Dakota has never learned how to be a hitter. He is going to be Giancarlo Stanton/Bo Jackson 2.0.

DJ went 3-4 with 2 doubles against Mizzou on Friday but ok. Hines is definitely struggling but has to stay in the lineup.

DJ is 11 of last 34 so yeah I was wrong. He's still anti-clutch tho and has quite a few 0 fer games the last few weeks.

So glad to ruin Maddox’s night

When is the last time Mississippi got to end their season with a walkoff loss to MSU? This was such a sweet win.

I'll never forget that hit.

I might've woken up the family upstairs, lol.

Haha!!

Kudos for admitting you were wrong. That's a rarity on this board.

Very good point.

[archdog]

Not the first round.

[HoopsDawg]

I do not think anyone is saying take them out of the lineup. They are what they are at this point. Who else could we put in those spots? Hujsak is the only one you could remotely make an argument for.

Probably should put Hujsak between them.

I think I saw Groff (?) sobbing like a little girl with a skinned knee...

Yes. Definitely need to split them up.

[BeardoMSU]

Awe, puddin...

We needed DJ to hit a ground ball to the right side. We needed Hines to let Mershon take that bag, but that's tough to do.

[Commercecomet24]

Probably should put Hujsak between them.

I been saying that for about 6 weeks but actually I'd put Hujsak in the 3 hole because he's a more complete hitter that doesn't strike out as much as DJ and Hines. He's clutch too.

Yep.
1. Chance
2. Mersh
3. Sack
4. Hines
5. DJ

There is a better chance of me hitting one 450 than Dakota Jordan going the other way.

[CaptainObvious]

Probably should put 4 guys between them. That way if one leads off with the first out of an inning the other one hopefully doesn't make the 3rd out if the inning until at least a run has scored. Right now, it's either they make the 2nd and 3rd out back to back or one makes the last out of the previous inning and the other one makes the first out of the next. Having unproductive outs in the middle of the line up is like having sub .200 batters in the 7-9 spots.
