It’s made it increasingly tougher for the bleeding to stop.įrom this point of view, it begins and ends on the mound for State. The coach has been visibly dejected the last couple of weeks and the players follow suit. So what’s causing all of this? That’s the million dollar question that has even coach Chris Lemonis at a loss more often than not. The Bulldogs have been run-ruled twice in those games and are out of the game by the middle innings. In the last five SEC losses, State has surrendered 10 or more runs.
It’s not just the losing that has fans the angriest it’s the way State is losing. The majority of the fans in the stands weren’t even alive when State started that year 0-7 in SEC play, but they’ll have a chance to see some history next week at Dudy Noble if the Bulldogs lose the first two against South Carolina and set a new standard for the worst start in school history. The two sweeps to start the year against Kentucky and Vanderbilt have the Bulldogs 0-6 in league play for the first time since 1952. Most of these losses haven’t even been competitive for State, who has lost by a combined 205-76 in those ball games. After falling completely apart late in the season and missing out on postseason altogether last year, that black cloud has followed the Diamond Dawgs into 2023 and it doesn’t look like there’s an end in sight.Īs the final out was recorded on Sunday in another loss, it marked the 17th-straight SEC defeat for the Bulldogs dating back to last season. Now, a proud fanbase that is rabid for winning baseball is suffering through a collapse in the program that no one could have predicted.
Mississippi State baseball fans waited a lifetime to have the moment that came on that magical run in Omaha, Neb., that led to a National Championship in 2021.
