Blaylock in to pitch

Yeah Cannizaro is just stupid. That's it. No method to the madness at all, I'm sure. He's just a dumbshit.**
Yeah, apparently this wasn't really a depth thing. Kind of crazy.
If Price sprains an ankle on the bases, people would be furious. I hope Cann realizes how much balls tonight took on his part.

Yeah, we needed to get pilk an AB. If he was hit by pitch or pulled a hammy running out a ball, our season was over. What was he trying to accomplish by batting pilk?
No he's not stupid, but that was a stupid move. He could have literally put anybody else on the team up there before Pilkington. Not only did we bat our ace, we also batted the leading closer in the SEC.
We clearly didn't give a **** about this game after the 6th and I can't figure out why.
What a ***** slap to South Alabama Cann just pulled. Basically he just said I care so little about you South Alabama that I'm pulling my starters in a 3 run game for pitchers and pitching an Outfielder.
**** was stupid with no point. Our position players don't need rest so get that **** out of here if anybody brings up rest. He made a mockery of baseball tonight.
Does this game matter in the grand scheme of things? Probably not but that's not the point. What an embarrassment I just watched in a 3 run ball game.

You don't have to be stupid to make a stupid decision. That was a stupid decision. You disagree? Give me a good reason to let pilk hit there then

He said in postgame he was sending a message. Basically, lack of effort will get you benched.
I like it. 17 South Alabama.

Can't be... our experts said it was stupid and pointless.
We have the corner on experts of stupid and pointless.
Yea giving up a game to prove a point is stupid and pointless. We're not deep!!!!! Pulling guys and putting in pitchers in position players spots in a fairly close game sends no message.
Yup Mangum either hustle or I'm putting Mahoney in your spot. Mac you better run faster down the base paths or I'm going to pinch hit Barlow for you.
Get that **** out of here. Guys aren't scared of losing their jobs to pitchers so it was a dumb point. Run their *** after the game if you want to punish them.
I like Cann but that doesn't mean everything he does is right. There are some posters on here that think everything a Miss State coach does is the right thing and we're stupid for questioning it.

I don't think everything he does is right, I'm just not losing my **** about what he did at the end of a mid-week game.
I don't understand why so many are losing their ****. Good lord. We dropped to #18 RPI for crying out loud.
I hope it sends a message because a LOT of our guys are acting foolishly at the plate lately.
I don't even care that we lost the game. It's the fact that he's sending a "message" and everybody applauds him for it. There is no message. We're not deep and he'll never do that in an SEC game.
Do you think Maneri, Bertman, Tanner, Martin, Corbin, or any coach for that matter would put in pitchers to hit in a 3 run game with 3 innings to play? The answer is no!
If we sweep Bama this weekend it has nothing to do with taking our starters out for pitchers. I'm sure some poster will try to make that point.

Now THIS is something I can agree with you on completely. I hate when batters expand their zone and lack dicipline.
I don't applaud or ***** about coaching moves in one part of one game because I'm not in the dugout.
He did put his *** on the line somewhat with a move like this. We will see how it works out.
Cann, in the post-game comments, said he needed to send a message to his club tonight.
"If you are going to play 'uninspired baseball on the field and not giving it your all,' you can come have a seat on the bench beside him."
Message sent .. hopefully, it will have an impact.
The fact we are where we are in baseball is hard to believe but so is what
happened last night but I'm cool with it. Let the man coach them his way.
Most coaches would have folded their tent and gone to the house with the issues we have had come our way. It appears to me Cann's might be a little unconventional in his
thinking which I want to see continue to play out.

You obviously don't know what "literally" means. The only other options there off the bench were Gordon and Lovelady. There were no other bodies available. So, would you rather PH our only backup catcher or our Saturday starter?
Gordon and lovelady are hitters and they aren't as valuable as pilk combined. So, yeah use them over pilk.
Already hedging bets. "It was stupid. If it works out, and our guys come out refocused, it is NOT because he did it". "Sitting our stars can't help the team in the long run" -- you mean like kicking off our #2 starter and the highest rated catcher to actually come to college didn't help the team in the long run?
I dunno if it did or didn't help -- but I was pissed about how we were approaching the game and playing last night as well as in the last two against SC. I felt like we were going to lose this game in the top of the first just in our unfocused and laxidasical approach at the plate and were lucky to get the 2nd one at SC. I'm glad the coach recognized the problem early as well. He took it two steps further than I would have done in the same circumstance -- but I loved every minute of it. It showed tremendous balls. Just in dealing with the blowback from the peanut gallery that can be seen in this very thread. Teams which take on THAT personality are the ones which actually win titles. But apparently you don't think any of that mental gamesmanship actually exists in the game -- when it's actually the difference between Jake Mangum and whoever is playing CF at Co Lin.
The only thing that I thought really took it too far was having Pilk in the game. The other pitchers gave us better ABs than we had been seeing all night. And Blaylock had some decent stuff on the hill that could potentially preserve his scholly into the future depending. Nights like tonight with that kind of tinkering -- is when rabbits are found that help you a lot in the long term. He might not be able to sit them all down at once like tonight -- but he can certainly sit a couple of them down at any given time for however many games it takes them to come to see it from his viewpoint. The guy that hired him is almost assuredly going to see such matters from his side even if some of the fanbase does not.
Now -- we will see against Alabama if he managed to flip the switch back on. That sometimes requires extreme examples -- and as a player is very tough to do on short turnaround. If it didn't -- I fully expect us to drop a couple this weekend -- and put ourselves back on the edge of precariousness. If it did -- we should thump them 3 times -- and start back talking about the bigger goals.

The answer is yes. I would rather bat our Saturday starter and starting catcher over our ace Friday starter and the leading closer in the SEC. Absolutely I would.
Let me see.... Batting Saturday starter and starting catcher > Batting Ace Friday Starter and Leading Closer in SEC
