It's over anyway with another Mitchell fielding job done right

[CadaverDawg]

BOOM!! Now cheer up and cut out the whining for a night or two. Still a lot of baseball to be played

[DawgSaint]

Some of you will gripe all night, but I'm gonna enjoy another win tonight!

Cheers, Saint...I'll do the same

This will be just like the Missouri sweep. Cautiously optimistic at best. Cohen is being rewarded playing a crap lineup even though this is a really shitty team with worse problems then us. I am glad for the series win mind you but we can't do this lineup against Alabama or even Tennessee and expect to win.

At the risk of starting another shit storm- and PLEASE don't take this the wrong way- I hate it how it seems like every time we win a game, series etc. it's because we beat a shitty team. You're not the only State fan that has done this- but our fans are quick to put our team down it seems like.

There have only been two sweeps on the road this year in SEC play thus far- Ole Miss over UK, and MSU over Mizzou.

Woot! A road series win is awesome! I really hope we can sweep. That would be great.

Nice Cohen stat. He is 104-1 in last three years when leading after 8. Wow

You are the worst. Enjoy a win for once.

Great job by Mitchell. Good first two games that saw unbelievable performances by Fitts and Mitchell. Go for the sweep tomorrow and like I stated earlier cautiously optimistic. We should take 2-3 from Tennessee next weekend and setup a very important series with Alabama to end regular season. We do need Rea in the lineup, Collins in the lineup and put Heck at lead off. Of course, odds are good that won't happen.

[Todd4State]

I've been a Rea fan since day 1, but for whatever reason the "pop" has not been there. Who would've ever thought he would only have 3 home runs and they all came in one game??

He expands the strike zone. It might be him trying to do too much. When he stays within himself, he is a very good hitter.

Thats a nice Holder stat

We just have to take it one game at a time. Agree about UT- we should take two of three from them, and Alabama is going to be tough on the road.

If Randolph catches like he did today, Cohen will play him. Collins has more talent and he will be fine in the future, but he's still a freshman right now and he's going through the SEC grind right now. It would help him out a lot if we had a guy like Mitch Slauter to take some of the load off.

We scored 3 and 4 runs last weekend in losses and you blamed the pitching against A&M. We had lights out performances this week with Fitts and Mitchell. We need to score more then 3 runs a game against good teams to give ourselves a chance. To expect lights out performances from Fitts and Mitchell every week is ludicrous. Just is. We need to put the lineup out there that gives us the best chance to win. Other then one inning, the kid blanked us. He wasn't pitching very well either. As I said before, happy for the series win, but we won't beat good to great teams with the lineup we are trotting out there.

Good road series win! We need woody or Ben to step up tomorrow for us

[Todd4State]

Was a safe drag attempt

Hybrid between drag and sac. Not showing as early as a normal sac but not as late as a normal drag. If we do sac I wish they were all like that.

I'm proud of you.

[MarketingBully01]

With all that said, I think we do sweep them tomorrow. They have a losing record on SEC Sunday's and they have pitched their best pitchers.

I get it Cadaver a road series win in the SEC is good! Good job guys for the win!

I did blame the losses to Texas A&M on the pitching. I am very pleased with how Ross and Fitts/Lindgren/Holder have pitched this series, and I am also pleased with Laster the other night. The guy that beat Ross vs. A&M is a top 100 draft prospect. Then they beat a less than 100% Preston Brown. In hindsight we should have started Woodruff and the umpire sucking rubbed salt in the wound.

I do agree that we can't expect to shut out every opponent that we face and it does put a lot of pressure on the pitching staff. No question about that. But in defense of our offense- we just beat two pitchers with ERA's under 2.00 on the road. That said, we do need to get better on offense no question about it. The freshman that Auburn pitched today has a chance to be a first round pick in a couple of years.
