Most talent Cohen has ever had and he is going to royally 17 himself out of possibly hosting a regional in post season because he can't manage a game worth a ****.

Glad others have caught on this season. The Cohen Does No Wrong crowd has been awfully silent as of late. Good_Dawg, skb124, etc.

If we lose this game, it's definitely on Cohen and free passes by our pitchers

There's an awfully thin line between criticizing Cohen and creating an unnecessary panic around the MSU fanbase.

I think panic is pretty fair at this point....

A team that was at once ranked in the top 5 is now possibly on the verge of losing 4 straight weekend series.....yea sounds like there should be a little panic.

Liked when we hired Cohen, but he lost me quickly with our team's ignorant base running in his first couple of years. I think we have already seen the best he can do with this program, and it aint good enough. Intense and hot temper does not = good coach.

So with that logic we should beat Aub & Bama?

And be ok if we lose every other series? That sounds great....

That's sort of the point people are trying to make. We aren't better than them. Why? I can live with LSU, but the other two?

So, Kentucky has a higher baseball ceiling than Mississippi State?

Exactly. We play in the SEC, we have a tough schedule. GoodDawg logic says 12-18 is what we should aim for because "Have you seen our schedule, dayum, thems some tough teams"

You have to beat good teams to be good!

I agree. We're ****** weather and then a couple of bad rolls away from having this thing on track. I'm like all of y'all. I'm 17in tired of losing like this. But it should (theoretically) get better.

Good_dawg logic says dont freak the **** out because the teams we've lost to have all been ranked and all but one have been close games.

Won the SEC and hosted at UK. At best, that's a wash -- being generous to MSU's season...

Yeah.. He's done more at State than at Kentucky. This Cohen made Kentucky a power meme gets old. They had one good year, based on a 13-2 home SEC goofpark gorilla ball.

Can it just be that UK's Cracker Jack park covered up Cohens...

God awful 17ing boneheaded decisions? Hitting cheap bombs can cover up a lot of ****** coaching decisions.

Sounds like something that dad that coaches little league that lets every kid play every position would say.

You just sound like a 17tard who bases everything off of 5 games against three top ten teams. Just slow your roll. That's all I'm saying.

Yep...

Call a spade a spade. Tonight sucked. The last 3 weekends have sucked. Beauty of baseball is that tomorrow we get to do it again.

If one wanted to be optimistic, they would see that this was basically the throw away of the 3 game series anyway -- certainly the 3rd best starter if Lindgren can go. I fully expect Graveman to be excellent tomorrow and give up another shot to beat Stanek, then Sunday we are playing for a road series win...

I hope you're right about graveman. I wonder at what point this team starts falling apart. Remember there were very high expectations and I hope they don't start pointing fingers in the locker room. If we lose this series, I'm seriously concerned about team morale

Team isn't going to fall apart. Response to adversity is the single best trait of Cohen's tenure thusfar IMO... Hence why I'm not ready to freak out yet.

Think we come out and jump on Stanek for a few early tomorrow and Graveman cruises...

Because it's easier to win at home?

You might want to check that stat out. By the way, I'm so glad Detz stepped up tonight.**

Nonetheless, it's still frustrating for all involved. There is nothing worse than losing baseball games like this. Really the only move I disagreed with was putting Pollo back out there to start the seventh. I don't know if we are going to start Bracewell Sunday or what- but even if we bring Gentry out there, I'd rather him be out there to start the inning clean rather than in a jam.

My ****** posts have forgotten more baseball knowledge than you will ever hope..

there is no way to cover up your ****** posts.

To acquire. My bad for knowing baseball and how one should coach and play the game.

You may keep up with what high schoolers are tearing up ****** pitching, but the baseball you all think you know changes after high school graduation. I'll go in depth on any aspect of the game, from pregame strategy, in game strategy, personnel, hitting, pitching, defensive plays. Anything. Bring it. It's not chance that I can go watch any baseball game, post highschool, and call 90%+ of the pitches and 90%+ of the in game strategy/plays/decisions. Pardon my application of baseball kno wedge.

Every game I attend, people ask me how I knew something was about to happen. It's easy is you pay attention and Know The Game!
