State’s offense is good enough to make teams pay if they let them hang around.

 

Having said that, really poorly played game on both sides. 19 combined runs on only 12 combined hits. A ton of walks and HBP’s, several errors. Probably not one that either coaching staff is thrilled with. But good win for State before they head off to the Frisco Tournament.

I honestly thought all of the walks allowed by State's pitching staff was going to cost us the ballgame.  Thankfully Southern couldn't get the 27 outs they needed.

Ole Miss "won" 4-3 after 6 innings over La Tech tonight. 

La Tech actually took the lead 5-4 in the top of the 7th but the game was called due to weather, so it went to the last completed inning. 

 

No telling which team would have won in 9 innings tonight, but that certainly sucks for La Tech.

Article today said Elliot will be back by SEC play. Another article said mid April. Who knows? Seems it's consistent news that it's just a sprain and he'll play most of this season. 

 

 

Back to the La Tech game last night, they're pretty mad. La Tech's coach stated today he hopes La Tech never schedules Ole Miss to play again. Ell Oh Ell. IF La Tech wants to play that card, I'm fine with it. There are PLENTY of baseball programs to schedule... and definitely plenty of football programs to schedule. 

I stand by what I said last night, it sucked how it ended. Still, Ole Miss doesn't own a magic lightening machine to cause the delay/cancel and the rules were followed to decide the "winner."

LA Tech’s head coach is Lane Burroughs who was an assistant at State for several years during the Cohen era. I would imagine he already had some opinions about Ole Miss prior to last night. LOL.

My thoughts also, I'd wager that's playing a part in his comments. 

I suspect Lane is hoping MSU has an opening soon and his comments help him land the HC job in Starkville. 

 

Either way, La Tech's AD sure can get pissed at Lane quick IF KC decides to not schedule La Tech in any sport.

Bianco did lose or almost lost to MVSU back in the day. I forget the year maybe 2004-2007 time frame. He refused to ever play them again after that. This is appears to be very similar. maybe all the meteorology students were unavailable

It might not be State but I’ve thought for several years that Burroughs was a future SEC head coach. Really like Lane. He’s a fiery guy.

Bianco made the call. that's where it starts and stops and everyone in attendance had the radar on their phones and could plainly see the rain on the way. Lightening precedes rain in many instances, evidently they do not know that or simply didn't care.  Just Mike being Mike.

Agree on Burroughs. He is originally from Meridian and played HS at WL. Then later at MCC. 
He has moved up the ranks of the college coaching ladder and as had success at NWST and now LA Tech. 
Would not be surprised to see him at State or OM one day in the future or possibly another SEC school. Like his combativeness.

Ole Miss won tonight, 3-1 vs Maryland which is certainly a positive early on. 

 

 


Wait…..didn’t OM just play a series with Maryland last week?   That’s odd. 
 

The past two years I’ve heard how explosive State’s offense was going to be.  What’s the deal there.

Probably just a schedule quirk. I suspect the weekend series was already set up and then the teams were invited to the tournament in MSP. 
 

State’s offense last year was Dave Kingman. .200 BA with 50 HR’s and 150K’s.

 

This year is hopefully better but we will see.

That's my understanding of what happened. It certainly is odd to replay the team you just hosted the following Friday night in the regular season.

Won’t mince words, State has kinda been a disaster so far. Thought they might be starting to turn the corner after winning the Arizona State series and surviving USM, but they’ve gotten humiliated by two not great teams in Frisco this weekend. And there’s still one more game to go.

Yep. Poor pitching and poor fielding defense have been on display this weekend. 
Batting in baseball can be shut down by a good pitcher and bad fortune. 
But if you do the other two well, you still give yourself a chance to win. 
We have been a disaster where that is concerned. And that is very disturbing.

State salvaged the Sunday game against Cal. But this team has to win a lot more games to convince me they’re any good, 7-5 at this point is pretty bad.


State needs to run the table.  Lol. 
 

Seriously though, with HS recruiting and transfer classes being ranked high, player development must be an issue.  A serious issue.
