State vs. Samford Game Thread

[parabrave]

Jeez at least the Samford coach knew when to get his starter out of there. Well on second thought he probably has someone to go to.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Most mentally weak team i maybe ever have seen. Henderson set the tone for that.

idk how you can say that about a team that has overcame what this team has and won like 18 games in comeback fashion.

im not making an excuse for stupid shit but still. this team doesnt quit

[Activated Alpha]

Would actually be relieved to be done with this tournament so we can announce our new coach. Tired of watching dumb move after dumb move

This season is like dying of a heart attack and being revived only for someone to stab me to death with a rusty fork and then revived again to be ran over by a garbage truck, over and over and over and over and over again. I don't even think I would be too upset with a loss... this baseball season has been brutal

[Dawgology]

If only Samford was a top 10 team we would own their ass!!

Billingsley is decelerating his arm on every slider because he doesn't trust his command of it. Babying it.

Notice the difference in his arm speed compared to his fastball vs his slider

Agreed. The best part about the end of this season is Gary Henderson is gone. It’s like having Rick Ray if he was a baseball coach.

Apparently we can't hit this slop, this dude will go the distance. We on the ropes right now.

Guy has 31 appearances with less than 60 IP. We probably chase him by the 7th

I'm going to be hated for this, but I agree with leaving JB in there. 1) we have no solid arms behind him we know can pitch better (Oklahoma anyone?) 2) JB was clearly rattled, but they weren't crushing him. LA should have gotten an out, the double wasn't hit hard and was almost foul, and the chopper over 3B was a fluke. I do think a mound visit was needed though.

JB seems to be back to normal now... lets see if he can't give up a few more innings. Net time he's in trouble though, I say pull him

[I seen it dawg]

Imagine that throw strikes and hitters get out. Amazing

Also, when he’s lost confidence, he slows the game way down as well and fidgets with his glove and shakes off pitches.

There is a difference in caring and not quitting and shitting yourself on plays because you're a mental midget. We are the latter.

[tcdog70]

We're so mentally weak. It's ridiculous.

What, isn't this the same team that won it in th 9th with two,outs?

[tcdog70]

Whose he gonna replace him with? JB's left arm?

Thanks, exactly

Henderson is the king of allowing our pitchers in having the big inning. Have you noticed that? We have given up a 5 run inning and a 9 run inning in this regional alone. We have also allowed a 7 run inning to Auburn. I’ve never seen an MSU pitching staff give up that many big innings in a season.

I call getting rustled after LA's error mentally weak. Perhaps I should call it something else.

He's lost confidence in his ability to locate his slider

Dude , we know you are a Henderson hater, but ****, to compare Him to Ray is just stupid.

[Bully13]

Recording and not watching for the moment. Did that HBP on Mac look intentional?

Perhaps

This team has a ton of talent and should have hosted a regional. Instead we are here. We’ve won down the stretch in spite of Henderson.
