Sick to my stomach with this performance today

[Backwoodsdawg]

When players put on a uniform, they open themselves up to being critiqued. I don't attack any of our players personally, but performance is fair game imo. Not sure why you always single me out bc I'm far from the only one being critical, mr Stovall. Can your son play 3b bc we have an easy entry to LF right now? Hope you have a good day also

Mr Alexander, my 29 year daughter might could but my son is a big guy and can't move very well. It's funny though if I did have a son on the team I would have looked you up a long time ago. Like I told you last time these kids work their ass off everyday and they deserve our respect when they do good or bad. For you to think anything you say has any merit because you are a message board hero is comical. Come to a game and put the computer down and you might get a clue. I went to almost every scrimmage in the fall and spring and I have a clue. Just enjoy the fact that we just won 2 of 3 from lsu for the first time in 10 or 12 years. This team is a group of ballers no matter who is on the field and yeah they need to figure out how to win on Sunday but thank God the coaches don't take advice from a message board hero because a according to you on any given weekend every kid on the team sucks and we need to replace them with the guys on the bench.

Since you've watched all this baseball, it should be clear to you we have defensive problems in the infield. We f'd up 2 dp's Friday night, had 2 errors on Sunday, and could've been charged with 2 more errors on the weekend. Me wanting to strengthen our infield defense has nothing to do with kids not working hard and whatever. Does Alexander not work hard? Should he not get to play anymore this year bc he got hurt? Again, none of this personal which you seem to make it. Alexander is our best MIF defensively and we have a MIF defense problem right now. I'm not crazy about Alexander's bat and think we'll probably lose some offense, but defense is the bigger problem now.

BTW, I have no attachments to any of our players. If Paul young makes this team better at SS, then by all means play him there. I'm sure all our players have worked hard and I just want the players that make the team the best to play regardless of who they are.

I know all of that, but like I said....do you REALLY not understand why Cohen wouldn't want to toss a guy that's being shelled out of the pen, into a starter role in the SEC, in HOPES that he's better as a starter? Surely you can see John's hesitation there. That's all I'm saying.

I don't want Cohen experimenting on Sunday of a 1-1 series vs Alabama with our National Seed or host spot on the line, just in hopes that he doesn't get shelled as a starter like he does as a reliever.

What if Tatum is better as a starter too....you ready to run him out there for a Sunday start vs SEC competition?

Don't think that is where I would run him to.

Hey backwoods, I hear Alexander is almost healthy. If he takes over at SS, will that give me the credibility you say I lack?

See that's the problem you want credibility? Why? This is a meaningless place for people who want to hide behind screen names and bitch about stuff they have no relevance in. I don't give a shit who plays ss or anywhere for that matter. I just want to support them whoever it is because they are giving me the entertainment that I love to watch. They all make mistakes even your beloved Belmont has 2 big errors and it seems like you dogged him way back then too which is what you do. Our infield has made some mistakes but answer me this who the hell hasn't? I will give you some credibility when you quit being "that guy" . This team has done a great job to this point in the season better than most thought. They all deserve a chance to play and there is nothing you or I can say or do to have a hand in who walks out on that field every game so I choose to watch the game and enjoy it , it's a lot easier to enjoy when you realize you are a meaningless figure in the stands and no one cares who you thinks should be playing where on here anyway. They may agree or disagree but it matters none! Just enjoy our success and quit trying to micromanage the game from the computer... that gets you credibility!

I don't think message boards are for you. If you enjoy message boards with no criticism www.genespage.com is probably more your speed.

I mean really when I see our infield botch way too many plays should I just post...

Bless their hearts, they're doing the best they can

Hey guys, who cares about errors... It's all about how good a kid they are and how hard they worked this offseason

Oh now you want to be a smart ass? Who do you think you are and why do you think anyone cares what you think? You are just some nerd that hasn't ever played a game unless it was a board game in your group at the ymca and you want some "creditably". Hell everyone sees what you see but most have a little class about how they address it. You a bad ass though putting down young kids. You think they mess up on purpose? They have all made errors and everyone of them will make more of them this season that's baseball you dumbass. You are a pitiful little nobody that wants some credibility in life so you put down young kids and act like you have the answers. I tell you what get your goofy ass in front of a ball coming at you at 115 mph's and never mess up and then I will give you some damn CREDIBILITY!

I'm starting a miss state baseball blog. Would you like to invest some capital?

BTW, who has 117 mph exit velocity? That would lead mlb

Its kind of funny thinking back on some of the discussion on this board. I mean I can remember when all the "experts" on this board were saying John Holland was going to come in from JUCO and take over the SS job (unseating Seth Heck at the time) because he had such range and a great arm and yet here we sit with Holland on the team and having to play Gridley over there who really himself is a 2nd baseman and Holland can't even stay on the field because he can't play SS and is not hitting. With Collins over there booting balls at 3rd and the fact that we have no true SS at the moment its really hard to even call our infield defense average at this point. And yes, we seem to botch more DP balls than we execute.

You are a fool. You might be better off starting a blog for chess or checkers because you gonna be broke if you want to live off of your baseball knowledge. I'm sure somebody will think you know something or have "credibility" but you and I both know that's not true, you just have a hard time admitting it. It's ok though there may be classes you can go to to help you understand your issues. PLEASE meet me somewhere and let me hit you some grounders!!!! If you can cleanly field 4 or 5 I will buy you a new pocket protector for your pens.

[Backwoodsdawg]

I love it!! That is dang funny!!!

The point of a blog isn't necessarily for your readers to agree with you... It's to get readers. Apparently you read everything I write, so I know you would be an avid follower.

That's awesome. I remember laughing at that during the game. I could only imagine what he said to the ump with his "non" masculine voice. Rep given

Speak from experience I see!

Whatever he said must have worked as I read the ump changed his balk call
