Arkansas Pine Bluff - Tuesday Baseball Thread

[smootness]

The hitting was obviously awful, but the pitching wasn't good enough, either. McCord should be completely out of the rotation now, and the move to pull Mitchell backfired in a big way.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Wow. We just ****ing got our ass beat by Arkansas Pine Bluff. Just an all around awful performance. McCord pitches terribly. Mitchell and Fitts choke big time. And our offense played its worst game in a long time- we let a SWAC midweek staff strike us out 10+ times and left 11 men on base. What an embarrassment. Losing to a ****ing SWAC team is unacceptable under any circumstances. Period.

[preachermatt83]

Heck Ks. Awful. 3 Ks for him tonight.

Michael Smith pinch-hitting.

Imagine what's gonna happen when we face real pitching.

[sleepy dawg]

Well that stings a little. I sure was hoping for an undefeated pre-SEC season.

[smootness]

Worst loss in Cohen, Ray, or Croom era.

Oh please.

[preachermatt83]

Worst loss in Cohen, Ray, or Croom era.

No

[msstate7]

Our schedule has been bad. A loss like this is an absolute rpi killer

[messageboardsuperhero]

Gridley grounds out to 3B, ballgame. APB wins.

Terrible.

Hopefully Cohen uses this to light into some people. Sometimes this just happens in baseball, but it still shouldn't.

Bull-****ing-shit. Losing to a SWAC team isn't a "just baseball" moment. It is completely and totally unacceptable under any circumstances. These games matter- and we didn't play like it tonight. We got our asses beat.

I'm not really disagreeing with you. For the team, you can't accept that, and it shouldn't happen.

But this kind of things happens in baseball much more often than in other sports.

If we sweep San Diego, our ranking won't fall much, if at all.

Don't disagree with anything. It's all because we were selfish.

[mparkerfd20]

No

Name a worst one cause it ain't Maine

[smootness]

On thing's for sure, Cohen's post-game interview should be pretty entertaining.

Honestly, I think it will cost us a regional. I'm not being overly dramatic. It's THAT bad. It would be like us going 11-1 and losing to Jackson State in football and then still expecting to get into the bowl playoff.

A loss to Maine in football by an SEC team will always be worse than any single baseball loss. It's far easier to lose any single baseball game than a football game to a team with tons less talent than you.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol love the meltdown by you ****ers. Jesus. Glad we only play 60 of these and no one goes undefeated.

[smootness]

Yeah, I just disagree there. If you go out and win 40 games, including 18+ in the SEC, you're going to host a regional.

And I'm sorry, this just isn't the same as losing to a team like Jackson State in football.

It is about as bad a loss as you can have in college baseball, yes.

[Homedawg]

Worst loss in Cohen, Ray, or Croom era.

Out of all the stupid shit said in this thread, you win the prize!

Yep. It sucks and it shouldn't happen, but it did. But if this is our only preseason loss, it won't be a big deal. Still a really, really bad loss though.

Thanks! That's what I was going for. A SWAC school though? Come on really? SWAC???

[smootness]

And this is my point. As long as we don't go lose a series to San Diego plus WKU, or something like that, people will simply look back and go, 'Can you believe State lost to APB?' But that's all it will be.

It's not like no matter what we do this year, people are going to say, 'They're not any good, look at this one game!'
