Butch’s Interview Game 3 Thread...

[WilCoDawg]

Henderson realized that he was making the “best SEC coach”*** look bad by trying to take the rubber game so he figured out a way to make Butch look like the “best SEC coach” again.

I swear you can't convince me that Henderson don't hate Miss State and is purposely trying to lose. It's the only explanation because I just can't believe it's possible to be this bad of a head coach.

Henderson has to be smarter. You cannot just use blake smith late. You have to figure out when the game is on the line

^^^ this. It's the rubber game of an away series and we are leading 4-0. Treat it like an elimination game and once it gets close,put your best reliever in to keep the lead even if it's your closer.

I don't understand this either... Blake may do great but I don't get replacing Neff but leaving Gordon in

Auburn is almost as bad at offense as us. Blake smith should've replaced billingsley. An old clown like Henderson doesn't realize you should use your closer when the game is on the line. But hey, smith gets to pitch down 3 now.

Please lay off the shoulder high FBs

 

[WilCoDawg]

It’s possible. It’s quite possible. He’s proving it quite well that it’s possible. He’s getting Butch-slapped out there.

 

[msstate7]

Can we go back and pull Cole before he dug our big hole?

 

[msstate7]

It was a new 3b, wish Jake had dropped a bunt his way

 

[WilCoDawg]

We should bunt here. That’d be a great move.*

 

[msstate7]

A series we deserved to win was lost by Henderson via cole gordon

 

[WilCoDawg]

Nonsense. We got beat by the best SEC coach we could get today. All hail Butch!

 

[maroonmania]

Season is a trainwreck. Will be a relief when it ends.

 

[msstate7]

So after Cole gave the lead up and bases were clean, Henderson still left Cole out there. Cole then gave up another one and left a guy at 3b. If Henderson had pulled Cole after the hr, we play on after the top of the 9th. Auburn is really bad offensively. Only the combo of a terrible coach and pitcher could make a 7-run inning possible for auburn. Unfortunately for us, we had both working in unison

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Sad that we have a 1-2 starting pitching combo that could go a LONG way in the postseason, yet we won't even make the postseason...
