MSU battled back after dropping G1 to Tulane's nasty ace with back-to-back walk-off wins. Game 2 ended with a walk-off grand slam after Tulane kinda leaves their closer hanging out to dry. Game 3 ended with Tulane taking the lead in the top of the 9th only for us to come right back and walk it off again. My heart can't take a whole season of this.

This is guaranteed to be a weird season. Probably more parity amongst the different leagues this year thanks to the shortened MLB draft and extra COVID eligibility. Lots of guys still in school who would probably be in the minors right now in a normal year. Traitorous Leopard fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Mar 1, 2021 |

We took the series 2-1 against a solid Kent State team today and threw a combined no-hitter (with a few nice defensive plays to preserve it including this one for the last out https://streamable.com/zqhzbk ). I'm liking this squad a lot this year!

 So it turns out we're a pretty good pitching squad. Some highlights: - 2.25 team ERA striking out 219 of 515 batters faced. That's close to half. - It's not obvious from the pic, but we've got probably 5 or 6 guys that could be legit SEC weekend starters. We've just gotta pick 3 before next weekend. - Landon Sims looks to be settling in as our likely closer. He's faced 42 batters and struck out 30 of them e: nvm no pic

Popete posted:So it turns out Kumar Rocker might be human after all, gave up 2 runs today. His first of the season. Vandy's "#2" guy Leiter comes out the next day and throws a CG no-hitter. Unreal. I think he was also just one walk from throwing a perfect game (he walked the first batter he faced of the game). In other news, we took the series at LSU yesterday. Our pitching staff has a 0.56 ERA over our last 81 innings pitched. No one has better starters than Vandy, but we might have a better overall staff cause our bullpen is ridiculous.

Part of me thinks “Going to #3 and sweeping them should make us #1!” But then I remember the ridiculous pitching Vandy has and lol I don’t think they will lose a series this season That was a tough one to watch for me. Our pitching has been pretty much our only bright spot this season and y’all hit what, 9? 10? homers on the weekend? Y’all are on another level compared to us for sure. This squad still has the pieces to make some noise in the post season, though. Prob won’t be able to stay in the hunt for a National seed, though. Also, I didn’t see every homer y’all hit, but good lord every one I saw was a no-doubter.

Speaking of Vandy, they got absolutely throttled by Georgia last night 14-2. I think Georgia hit 7 HRs in the game? Rocker gave up 2 or 3 I think. Uncharacteristic game for him, but he'll bounce back for sure. Will be interesting to see how Leiter does today.

We took the series against Ole Miss this weekend and my god the atmosphere at the Dude looked insane. Also, y'all may not know it yet but Landon Sims is the best closer in college baseball. This dude is near about untouchable. 24.1 IP, 0.37 ERA, 47 Ks, and opponents hitting 0.133 against him. Ole Miss has some really good bats and both times Sims came in he made them look helpless. Just totally dominant. https://twitter.com/HailStateBB/status/1383907013206306821?s=20 Context - this was the rubber match yesterday. Bases loaded and Tanner Allen up to bat in a tied game. He scorches a bases-clearing triple out to right-center and the place explodes.

chaoslord posted:Vandy and Arkansas are locked into a knife fight for 1 and 2 in the SEC, should be a fun last four weeks No doubt these two have separated themselves from the rest of the SEC. I feel like we're a rung below with the likes of OM/Tenn/SC. All of these teams could make some serious noise in the post season, though. We managed to grab a nice W against a better Vandy squad this weekend and actually gave Leiter one of his worst starts of the season. Going into last weekend, I told myself all we needed was to not get swept, and we managed that. We're now comfortably on the downhill portion of our regular season schedule and, barring a total collapse, should put together a very respectable SEC record. I guess host sites will be selected in the next few weeks as well? Will be interesting to see how this goes. If we win the remainder of our SEC series, I feel like we've got a very solid shot to secure a national seed.

chaoslord posted:I know y’all lost a series so of course you got moved down (although I don’t believe splitting 2-1 with Vandy should require any drop, just know how the rankers think), but I have no idea why y’all slipped two spots to #6 in D1 Baseball or why TCU jumped ahead of y’all. For my money y’all are a top 3 team and I am glad we have already played you, I don’t think we would win all 3 if we played again this weekend. Since they are picking the host sites on May 10th, there’s no way you get left out of hosting a super regional unless y’all get swept by A&M this weekend or somethin else ridiculous. Same man. It's a shame college baseball doesn't have a bigger following, cause it's such a great sport.

chaoslord posted:Umpire in Arkansas/Georgia got hurt, ~15 minute delay, Pallette (starting pitcher) struggled to adapt to new strike zone and then this happened We managed to throw away the Sunday sweep against SC so y'all still got a game on us. Tied with Tenn of all teams for the conference currently. I do like our schedule the rest of the way compared to y'all, though, so if we win what we're supposed to and y'all stumble, we could still end up regular season co/champs. Man you could just tell watching that Sunday game that SC wanted it worse than us even though both teams left some double-digit number of runners stranded. Still, a road series win against a very solid squad is hard to beat. I believe that will be enough to pretty much guarantee us a national seed.

Man that's awful, hope he still gets to go in the 1st round, but I guess that depends on what recovery looks like and teams may not have enough time between surgery and the draft to tell. There's rumblings that Leiter is getting shut down for the year, too.

Lordy that's a lotta K's We managed to screw around and drop the game last night, so our series with Mizzou comes down to today's game. Despite their record, they've played us fairly well (on top of us struggling some). I think we needed a sweep here if we wanted to challenge Arkansas for the SEC regular season title, though.

chaoslord posted:I have been worried for a few weeks now that because Arkansas wasn’t sweeping series that it would be possible to go 10-0 for the weekends and come out without the #1 seed in the conference tournament but enough results have gone our way elsewhere this weekend where that’s no longer a possibility. Win 2 at home next weekend and its done. It's easy to nitpick on a game-to-game and series-to-series basis, but imo Arkansas has pretty clearly been the most consistently strong team in the SEC this season. Every other team has stumbled at some point, but y'all haven't lost a series yet, right? e: And Vandy just lost another series. Arkansas is firmly in the driver's seat for the regular season title. I'm just hoping at this point we can take the series from Bama next weekend to preserve our national seed spot Traitorous Leopard fucked around with this message at 23:34 on May 16, 2021 |

Alright regular season over, let's check in on ole Lando Sims and see how that turned out Just totally dominant. Kopps deserves SEC pitcher of the year for total body of work, but Sims is one of the most absurd college closers I've ever seen. The stats don't even tell the whole story. Batters just look totally helpless facing him.

Yeah, Kopps has a strong argument for straight-up Player of the Year, not just pitcher. He is the clear MVP on a team that has more talent than most. Btw, Matt Wyatt (former MSU media guy) just released a doc on college baseball's scholarship limit. I haven't finished it yet, but it's been really good so far.

I think we also got run-ruled in our last tournament game against LSU in 2019, so that's three in a row now lmao. The more I look at this bracket, the more favorable our draw looks. If we go on a run, we wouldn't meet Vandy or Arky until the finals. It's also not inconceivable that 7 of the 8 teams in Omaha could be from the SEC. Figured the committee would try and come up with a few more pairings to eliminate that from happening in the Supers.

but they didn't make it easy. It took calling the Kopps in the 4th inning and 7 pitchers to put down NJIT, but finally just did enough. Nebraska got into a hole early, took the lead, then held off a late charge from Northeastern to set up a match against Arkansas tomorrow. Should be a good one. 
This will be a good one to watch 6pm Central I think.

Hoping the fellas can take care of business against Campbell this morning. They're one of the hottest hitting teams in the country, though, and that has a way of making funny things happen in the post-season. If we dropped this game and G7 got rained out, I think Campbell would actually win the regional on H2H record alone. So uh, hopefully that doesn't happen! Speaking of hot hitting teams, I would not be surprised at all to see Southern Miss take that regional from OM. The mustard buzzards looked like they were hitting BP yesterday. Predicting pain for Nebraska today. No team has taken two from Arky this year. Team of Destiny and all that. The Mainieri Retirement Tour has also been a pleasant surprise. Gotta think anything past a regional is overachieving for that squad considering how the regular season looked.
