SEC network. Weekend best....Give me a freaking break

[thekimmer]

Best team performance Ben McDonald picks old mrs who swept the barley mediocre Arky at home and Carlos Pena picks LSU who took 2 of 3 from Vandy which is pretty good but still at home. Meanwhile, our bulldogs took two of three from #1 UF who hadn't lost a game at home in nearly a year much less a series. Wow. Come on fellas.

 

[patdog]

That's absurd. I could maybe see picking LSU, although we beat a better team and did it on the road. But a home sweep over Arkansas is just holding serve. "Barely mediocre" is a compliment to them. They're 13-1 against RPI 200+ teams and only 3-9 against the top 100. Warren Nolan predicts them to finish 7-23 in the SEC.

Let em keep doubting. I don't think our guys give a crap.

Hell maybe they weren't too surprised. I know a couple of weeks ago Ben said we looked like an elite team.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Exactly.

Let them keep thinking we are overrated. Our guys will continue to do the talking on the field.

If they got their info from their SEC Network co-workers about our games

that would explain their lack of interest. I mean after all, Florida had momentum most of the weekend, and their unstoppable hitters are "due." Our scrub pitchers are getting pretty up there in the pitch count, and Florida will capitalize soon (pop up) or maybe next inning (hit into double play)...now? (strike out). Surely if they played 3 out of 5 then "Sully" would right the ship.

(Hey, even our former football players were talking about how much these announcers blew.)
Personally, I'm fine without a ton of accolades. We all saw what happened when Dakota got some great pub. BOOM, worst outing of the season.

Arkansas looked like garbage.

 

[patdog]

Ben McDonald has always been very complimentary of our baseball program. I kind of get the impression that if he hadn't gone to LSU, MSU was his #2 choice.

 

[11thEagleFan]

Arky IS garbage. Like another poster said, almost all their wins are against teams with 200+ RPI ratings. Anytime they play someone with a pulse, they lose. Shouldn't be ranked come tomorrow.

And don't forget the Unproductive Outs

Sure it wasn't recorded earlier today before our game concluded?

 

[Junction John]

On a positive note, I think Maria Taylor has been working out.

It's kind of like HD6 said on B&B this morning. Stop listening to the media. They don't know any more than you do. They just have more access. Anyone who thinks Ole Miss or LSU had a more impressive weekend than State has lost their mind.

Let em keep doubting. I don't think our guys give a crap.

Agree .. love that we won the series with OM .. love that we just won our 5th series in a row, 4th SEC series to start the conference season (especially after ONLY winning ONE series last year) .. love winning series over #1 and #2 teams @ their places .. also love the fact that our last SEC series this year is Hogs @ the Dude

Keep on doubting

 

[Philly Dawg]

Disagree. MSU wins a series? Ho hum happens every week.

 

[tired]

I don't think it's doubt. Its business as usual. Its what they expected

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Hey, those guys did have some great insight... Such as "when you get a pitcher to the stretch early in an inning, you have a chance to score some runs." NO ****. No one has ever considered that getting guys on with no outs is often the best way to have a big inning....

 

[Shamoan]

i saw this. at first, i was a little annoyed, but mcdonald is an lsu homer and i thought to myself this might be an issue with the fanbase, but thought if so, we need to be a bit more thick skinned.

 

[oxfordrebel22]

State's series win was more impressive. It's not really even close. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that we swept Arkansas, b/c it was very much needed... but, Arkansas looked awful. I was amazed at how bad they looked, honestly. It's not what we are accustomed to seeing from a Dave Van Horn team.

For State to win the series, at Florida, after losing the opening game, and considering the pitching struggles you've had on Sunday, is very impressive. I already thought State had a really, really good team. This weekend just proved that State is not just really good, but capable of winning it all.

It's unbelievable how deep and good the SEC is this year.

 

[thekimmer]

Nope....

Host said now that baseball is done for the weekend its time to pick best performers
