This is the most frustrating MSU baseball game I've listened to in a looong time. Jim Ellis just made it worse calling Hump's loud out.

[Blackout]

Roll-me-over Gridley damn

[msstate7]

couple more stranded. at least reid hit the ball that time

Lowe's non-existent speed has cost us 2 runs tonight now.

[JohnnyQuid]

Doesnt mean it's right.

Nobody on and 2 outs not where you want your best hitter. Sorry if you can't comprehend advancements in baseball.

Mike Trout hit 2nd more than anywhere else last year bud and he's the best in the game.

u realize the no out 2 outs shit only holds water in first inning assuming your first 2 guys both get out all the time together - which is crazy to think. the first two batters usually have high OBP so there won't always be 2 outs when they hit lol that argument is weird

[djaymsu5]

not a grid fan either. and when he makes errors to go along with all his popups it just makes him a liability

What kills me is he takes a cock shot right down the middle and swings at shit. He definitely is a liability. I'd rather have Stovall out there than him.

To be fair, I'm surprised the vandy kid caught it... He was terribly ungraceful going back after the ball.

[djaymsu5]

Damn! I thought Hump went yard there

I know you don't want to be the last out at third but damn as deep as that ball was could Lowe not tag there with ease?

[Blackout]

Which spot in the order comes up the most with nobody on and 2 outs.. ****ing no logic people no wonder the Chinese are taking our lunch money

[djaymsu5]

Next time we have runners in scoring position please God let Rooker be at the plate. He is the only one hitting the ball tonight it seems like.

[Blackout]

I know you don't want to be the last out at third but damn as deep as that ball was could Lowe not tag there with ease?

Because if the ball dropped he scores......... Damn people

[Blackout]

Hudson's nuts dropped today

[djaymsu5]

Because if the ball dropped he scores......... Damn people

Obviously not if he didn't score a couple of innings ago on that other. I understand that rule but after he gets under it start going back to the bag and tag.

[msstate7]

Has marrero or Alexander got a hit in the last 2 weeks?

[Blackout]

Obviously not if he didn't score a couple of innings ago on that other. I understand that rule but after he gets under it start going back to the bag and tag.

So... Make the judgement on a deep fly ball where he wasn't camped under it for a while and make it 75 feet back to tag in time? Got it**

[msstate7]

Steal!!! If he gets caught, Kruger may get to face new pitcher in 7th

The Two Hole

The old-school book says to put a bat-control guy here. Not a great hitter, but someone who can move the lead-off hitter over for one of the next two hitters to drive in.

The Book says the #2 hitter comes to bat in situations about as important as the #3 hitter, but more often. That means the #2 hitter should be better than the #3 guy, and one of the best three hitters overall. And since he bats with the bases empty more often than the hitters behind him, he should be a high-OBP player. Doesn't sound like someone who should be sacrificing, does it?



The Third Spot

The old-school book says to put your best high-average hitter here. The lead-off hitter should already be in scoring position and a hit drives him in. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

The Book says the #3 hitter comes to the plate with, on average, fewer runners on base than the #4 or #5 hitters. So why focus on putting a guy who can knock in runs in the #3 spot, when the two spots after him can benefit from it more? Surprisingly, because he comes to bat so often with two outs and no runners on base, the #3 hitter isn't nearly as important as we think. This is a spot to fill after more important spots are taken care of.

are those based on college numbers? Because MLB numbers are worthless

[JohnnyQuid]

can we have a mother****ing ******* clutch 2 out hit with guys on? please lowe.

[Dawg4Life]

Has marrero or Alexander got a hit in the last 2 weeks?

Luke had a hit Tuesday. Pick on the older guys who can't put the ball in play.

[JohnnyQuid]

And of course we can't. 11 stranded.
