You are what I thought you would be in baseball. Better than you give yourselves credit for being. Your Friday guy was outstanding. Today, in the second game of the double-header, you showed you are not going to be taken lightly - you are fighters in the purest non-combat game known to man.
Gotta respect that kind of fight. I'm glad to have you in the league and I have absolutely no doubt that you will become a contender in the SEC in baseball. You showed a lot of pride today. Cudos to you.
Just one thing. SEC baseball games are not meant to be played with banks of snow in the outfield - but were it me, as I think you will do, you will use it to your advantage. Sun Tzu style.
Welcome to the SEC and you beat a National Powerhouse in baseball, fair and square, today. No doubt about it. Additionally, you outhit us for the weekend, something very rarely done in over a decade.

Not used to seeing titles like this, so my initial impression was to combat the troll.
However, thanks. The one thing we do have is pitching. They seem to be pretty able to handle a game. We'll get the remainder figured out as time goes on. The team has in recent years shown that they have the fight and heart to overcome superior opposition.
That being said, thanks again. Hopefully we'll pull a few out in conference play.
Here's a prayer to .500

Thanks scrooster. We obviously still have a long way to go. It was one game. Honestly, I've been surprised by some of the reaction on the rant to one baseball game. Sweeping a series is tough enough, made tougher when 2 of those games are turned into a DH, made tougher when your suffering from injuries, made tougher when you're not used to playing in cold weather. As much as the win, I was just happy that the team didn't embarrass themselves in any of the games.
We won't compete for anything any time soon, but we may be able to play spoiler to some if they take Mizzou too lightly.
As to the weather, a Mizzou alum properly explained how it prepares you to play in the pros because they sure aren't going to cancel games in Chicago, Baltimore or St. Louis just because you're only used to playing in warm weather locations.

Really liking the future of our weekend rotation

We will almost always ruin someone's season. we rarely finish last in a sport and the games we do win are usually killer for someone. Heck, I can't think of the last time we finished last in a sport.

It looks like a nice little Bromance has broken out between the cocks and the yankee kittens...

That's only because the Mizzou fans who generally post here are either not knowledgeable about baseball or are infected with the Mizzou fan curse of seeing everything in the worst possible light. I've been accused of being excessively optimistic about MU Baseball, but mostly that's because everybody else is so pessimistic.

There were no banks of snow in the outfield. Or anywhere on the field. In 20+ years I've never seen a game played at Taylor Stadium with snow on the field (unless it fell there during the game).
And yes, it was bitterly cold, and yes we do use it to our advantage. A quote from a report this morning in the Columbia Missourian:
quote:
First-year South Carolina head coach Chad Holbrook said the conditions weren't a factor. They were the same for both teams. Steele disagreed. "We’re not cold at all," Steele said. "We took ground balls the other day when the wind chill was 4 degrees. I wasn’t cold, that felt like I was on a beach."

Missouri baseball will definitely surprise some folks. Tim Jamieson gets the most out of his talent, and will do whatever it takes to win. One year, when he had one real good starter and no clear cut number two, he went to using 9 pitchers for one inning each on Saturdays, and was very effective doing this.

I think he threw Johnny Wholestaff on Sundays. It didn't work out real great but there wasn't a whole lot of options.

Yeah, there were, dumbass, else I wouldn't have typed it. You could see them in the highlights here on local TV and even the sports casters were commenting on them.
Were they deep, piled-up, banks of snow? No, but since it was meant more as humor than as a dig on your frickin' thin skin - well, I guess it really doesn't matter. Prick is gonna be a prick.

Or some of us have learned not to pop off before winning anything. I don't know who you were directing this too, but I would imagine there are a lot of Mizzou posters here that are knowledgeable about BASEBALL as you say. Had you qualified it to say knowledgeable about MIZZOU BASEBALL I might agree with you. I would grant that you probably know more about MIZZOU BASEBALL, particularly it's history, than most. But I think there are enough people that know enough about baseball to know that we will win some SEC games, but probably lose more games than we win in conference, maybe pull out a couple series and finish this season somewhere in the bottom third of the conference. Tell me where I'm lacking in my knowledge or being pessimistic with that?
Frankly, I didn't understand the hoopla about one win against SC. It's baseball and teams won't win them all and teams won't lose them all. It was one game. I said it before somewhere, but the bigger thing to me was the entire series showed me something even though we lost 2 of the games. Mizzou was close in both of the losses and if the fielding wasn't dogshite at times and the team could execute with runners in scoring position, we could have won another of the games, but that's the difference between where Mizzou is right now and where the other teams are. They do those things and Mizzou already has a track record this year of not doing them. Hopefully that changes, but right now, that's where it's at.
I respect you passion for Mizzou baseball and knowledge of it's history, but to equate that to meaning no one else is generally knowledgeable about the game is just wrong.

I did indeed mean Mizzou Baseball, not Baseball in general. My gripe is with the overbearing negativity of so many Mizzou fans, always ready to expect the worst, take the worst view of everything, and portray a negative view of Mizzou to outsiders.
I was not referring to you, reedus. While we don't always disagree, you are genuinely trying to analyze and understand what's going on with Mizzou Baseball. But there are many who just want to pile on.
