They are currently ranked as high as 5th in one poll. Pitching and defense will be the strengths of this year's team, but the hitting should show marked improvement. Adam Frazier will lead the charge for the hitters, but other players will have to come through as well. And I expect one hitter to really step forward this coming season - Wes Rea. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1266545.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1266545.html Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:59:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Never mind that even as he spoke, Caleb Reed was readjusting the heavy icepack stuck to his right shoulder. See, he’s spoken with his coach on the same subject. “I already told him if you give me the ball in the ninth I’ll be fine,” Reed said. “I’ve thrown plenty of pitches before and come back.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078942.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078942.html Sun, 12 Jun 2011 00:05:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The initial and automatic plan was to sacrifice. Trailing a run in the last chance, the tying Bulldog on first base, nobody out, and Florida going to their bullpen a third time, well, it all added up to the higher-percentage play. But before making Nick Vickerson bunt, his coach allowed him one shot to bat. All he did was bat a shot. The two-run, game-winning shot at that. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078909.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078909.html Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:27:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate For all the frustration of a lopsided loss in their first NCAA super regional opportunity, at least the Bulldogs can entertain encouragement from one 2011 fact. They’ve gotten used to this situation. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078720.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078720.html Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:27:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate GAINESVILLE – Maybe Florida is only the second-highest seeded squad in this year’s NCAA tournament. But Mississippi State has first-hand evidence these Gators look every bit the best team in the country. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078695.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078695.html Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:13:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate He can joke about it now…sort of. Because three days later Nick Vickerson can still feel the lump. And, feel a bit lucky. “I ended up getting out of there without a concussion,” he said of that Sunday shot to the skull, courtesy of a Georgia Tech pitcher. “I just had a pretty big headache.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078182.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1078182.html Thu, 09 Jun 2011 11:00:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Kinda fitting, how Devin Jones was at the wheel when he heard the ring tone. Because the message could mean a great big change in his career course. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1077888.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1077888.html Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:59:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate LOCAL BOY MAKES GOOD: A pair of Georgians will play their parts for Mississippi State this weekend, either starting or subbing. RHP Evan Mitchell is a primary starting option for Saturday pending on matchup, though if long right-handed relief is called for early Friday the Marietta native could get that call as well. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1076384.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1076384.html Thu, 02 Jun 2011 12:50:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Though they’d rather be playing games this weekend, the Diamond Dogs are taking advantage of their unscheduled and unwanted break to, well, take a break. Just don’t get the idea Mississippi State baseball is going on any holiday. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1075274.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1075274.html Fri, 27 May 2011 21:13:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate At least they didn’t have to play to long before realizing this stay at the SEC Tournament was going to be short. A four-run Arkansas assault in the top of Thursday’s opening inning meant Mississippi State would be heading home after a 7-2 loss in the elimination round. The sole saving grace of early exit was that the Bulldogs still expect to play again. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1074976.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1074976.html Thu, 26 May 2011 21:30:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Now that they have more free weekend time than wanted, the Diamond Dogs will need ways to use it. One obvious, if a bit painful for now, option is to watch conference tournaments around the country and play their own guessing games about who could end up where come Monday and the NCAA tournament announcement. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1075008.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1075008.html Thu, 26 May 2011 20:41:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate HOOVER, ALA. -- After a three-year absence from this event, the Diamond Dogs are thrilled—and relieved—to have ended an unprecedented program drought. They just weren’t in a huge hurry to actually report to Regions Park. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1074563.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1074563.html Wed, 25 May 2011 02:50:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Think the Bulldogs might be content to have finally achieved their ambition of postseason play? Think again. “We’re going to keep competing like we have all season,” said Caleb Reed. “And hopefully good things will roll for us and we’ll get to where we want to be.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1073916.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1073916.html Sun, 22 May 2011 19:30:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Three innings in and five runs down, plenty of folk were ready to write R.I.P. on the season. Good thing the Diamond Dogs missed that mid-game memo. “The lead wasn’t too bad for us, we managed to come back,” said Jaron Shepherd. Not just come back, but finish with a last-inning win over Louisiana State. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1073734.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1073734.html Sat, 21 May 2011 04:39:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate STARKVILLE, Miss. - The Bulldogs step into their traveling shoes for the final time of the 2011 regular season Tuesday night when Mississippi State (32-19) takes on the University of Memphis Tigers (27-23) in a 6:30 p.m. contest at AutoZone Park in Memphis. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1072738.html 2047 MSU Athl Media Relations http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1072738.html Tue, 17 May 2011 16:03:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate No ballplayer, least of all a batter, enjoys watching from the dugout even if he understands the situation. But that couple of games Nick Vickerson sat out for matchup reasons surely seems to have done this Dog good. Because since returning to every-game status Vickerson has been dominating the dish. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1070909.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1070909.html Tue, 10 May 2011 20:35:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State junior outfielder Brent Brownlee is one of the veterans on the MSU baseball team. He, along with several of the seniors, have taken it upon themselves to help their team make it to postseason, a feat he feels is definitely within their reach. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1070007.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1070007.html Thu, 05 May 2011 19:07:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate The weekend didn’t go nearly as well as hoped, and needed. Yet thanks to comparable outcomes for some of their direct competitors, the Bulldogs remain in control of their own post-season possibilities with three remaining weekends. As John Cohen said today, “We still feel we’re right in the middle of it in the SEC West.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1069155.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1069155.html Mon, 02 May 2011 16:32:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Mississippi State spent six series contesting top-tier competition and trying to gain control their own fate. Now that they are in that position it is time for the Diamond Dogs to deliver over the four weekends which will make or break. “This is when it’s got to happen,” said John Cohen. “We are battling for post-season, and really an opportunity to get to the top of the West standings.” http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1068376.html 2047 David Murray http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1068376.html Fri, 29 Apr 2011 16:20:00 GMT 1 136 Mississippi State mississippistate Included is a photo gallery from the Mississippi State - South Carolina three-game SEC series at Dudy Noble Field this past weekend. http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1067526.html 2047 Gene Swindoll http://mississippistate.scout.com/2/1067526.html Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:46:00 GMT 0 136 Mississippi State mississippistate
