As, after all, they didn’t leave until after 1:00 in the same morning, following their record-setting, 17-inning, last at-bat victory 2-1 over Missouri. Or, will it? http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1293746.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1293746.html Wed, 22 May 2013 20:02:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The crowd standing, rooting Kendall Graveman to complete what he’d started so well might have stormed Dudy Noble Field, if they thought he was being lifted there in the eighth inning after a close ball-four call. The pitcher himself knew better. “When you see Coach Cohen come out, most of the time we’re staying in anyway.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1281365.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1281365.html Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:44:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Coach and club alike have touted their 2013 intangibles of experience and leadership. Now Mississippi State is about to draw heavily on all accounts as the season enters its serious stage. And, after the first missteps along the previously-perfect way. We’ll just have to battle back and win a midweek game, and come back ready to play LSU,” said Kendall Graveman. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1273604.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1273604.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 21:03:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate From Ross Mitchell’s perspective, pairing him with namesake Evan Mitchell is perfect. “Yeah, he’s a hard-throwing righty and I’m a hard-throwing lefty!” he quipped. And, exaggerated, since the southpaw’s fastball might crack glass. But Saturday afternoon the combo of starter Evan and reliever Ross was ideal in a 4-1 victory over Saint Joseph’s. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1271042.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1271042.html Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:49:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The game, and the sweep, were safely in-hand, enough so that a freshman was handed closing duties. Still John Cohen couldn’t help getting a thrill about how the weekend concluded with a sharp twin-killing. “That play to end the game was a highlight reel type of play,” the coach said. “But I see these guys make those plays every day in practice. And it’s fun to see it in a ball game.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1267691.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1267691.html Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:27:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Wes Rea and the Diamond Dogs had heard the same thing for months. Now after an Opening Day blowout they’re sure to hear it again, just in a different theme. “The question this off-season was offense,” Rea said. “And it was a good thing to come out swinging the bats.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1267145.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1267145.html Sat, 16 Feb 2013 02:33:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Brandon Woodruff looked like he was shivering there in the dugout. He wasn’t, though the temperatures were dropping at dusk. “I was shaking a little bit,” Woodruff explained. “Man, I wanted to finish this inning so bad!” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1264160.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1264160.html Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:41:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate FSNextTV: Mississippi State head baseball coach John Cohen talks about the catchers on this year's squad, including the two veterans (Mitch Slauter and Nick Ammirati) and a freshman newcomer (Daniel Garner). http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225828.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225828.html Fri, 28 Sep 2012 01:55:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate John Cohen is intrigued by the morning message sent by first baseman Wes Rea to the Diamond Dog nation. How they should think about making reservations for Omaha already. Intrigued, but not at all bothered. “That’s where we want to be,” the coach said. “That’s our goal, that’s our focus. Of course on a daily basis your deal is getting better every day.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225775.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1225775.html Thu, 27 Sep 2012 21:34:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It was to be a quick review of Bulldog baseball. But when recorders were finally switched off over fifty minutes of question-and-answer with John Cohen had touched all sorts of subjects about Mississippi State, the SEC and its Tournament, the NCAA game in general, bats, home runs, and the just-completed draft. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1192998.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1192998.html Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:15:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State’s lineup had barely been posted and reported before the questions came about one particular position. It was the line reading ‘rf l/l Luis Pollorena’ that had media quizzing and on-line fans buzzing. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1191538.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1191538.html Sun, 03 Jun 2012 00:18:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate It’s taken three months of work to get here, and Adam Frazier is pleased with the results. No, not of his batting average, even if it is best on the Bulldog team. It’s the hair. More specifically, the mul…no, don’t use that title. “It’s my flow!” the shortstop corrects. “I call it flow!” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1190697.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1190697.html Thu, 31 May 2012 11:00:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate He wasn’t present for last year’s NCAA run. Not in body anyway; that was headed to his summer baseball address. In spirit, now, Wes Rea very much with his Mississippi State teammates. Maybe too much so, as the state of Illinois constabulary noticed while the redshirting first baseman listened to biggest Bulldog moment of 2011. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1190314.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1190314.html Tue, 29 May 2012 21:05:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Matthew Britton can’t say he wasn’t warned. Or encouraged, too, as he went to the plate with the game literally on his bat. “Coach Drye told me right before I got up to bat, you’ve got a chance to win it. And when the dogpile comes that means just keep running. I was hoping he was right.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189642.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189642.html Sat, 26 May 2012 03:39:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate No sooner had his squad’s clutch ninth-inning outburst ended than Caleb Reed turned to the rest of the Bulldog dugout. “I looked at our guys and said we owe ‘em a win for an extra-inning game,” the senior reliever said. Well, Mississippi State can consider that account squared after their thrilling 4-3 victory in ten innings over Louisiana State in the SEC Tournament. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189628.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189628.html Sat, 26 May 2012 02:01:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate HOLDER-ING ON: Not that he would have minded throwing again. After all, that would have meant his team had a win for the saving. But Jonathan Holder will take a day without pitching as an opportunity to be fresh for the next save assignment. And given the rookie’s record so far, when Holder takes the hill it ought to be game over. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189360.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189360.html Fri, 25 May 2012 03:03:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Another excellent start out of Chris Stratton. Another shut-down performance by the Bulldog bullpen. Another nine innings of just enough offensive output at a few prime times. And, another Mississippi State victory. This time, a 3-2 triumph over LSU in the SEC Tournament second round. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189017.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1189017.html Wed, 23 May 2012 23:11:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Quantum physics? Child’s play. Tax codes? Not a problem. Campaign finance laws? A breeze. The 2012 Southeastern Conference baseball tournament format? Ummmm…. Baseball fans all around the region have stared at this year’s bracket printout and uttered words to make Al Einstein grimace. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1188029.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1188029.html Sun, 20 May 2012 20:32:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate ScoutTV: Mississippi State junior catcher Mitch Slauter talks about the Bulldogs 3-1 Thursday night win over No. 2 ranked Kentucky. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1187489.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1187489.html Fri, 18 May 2012 04:16:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate A shot in Wes Rea’s right arm might just have been the, well, the shot in the arm Mississippi State needed. Because with shoulder pain eased, the big Bulldog injected some much-needed offensive life sending State to a 3-1 victory over Kentucky. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1187482.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1187482.html Fri, 18 May 2012 03:46:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
