MSU falls to 12-16, 4-10 SEC.MSU, which has never won a set against the Aggies, pushed Texas A&M to the brink in the first two sets and was serving for a combined four set points before the Aggies kicked in gear and came back to the win the match.In the opening set, the Bulldogs got an early lead on the Aggies by continuously keeping the ball alive on their side of the court while building their largest lead at 21-13. Senior middle blocker Jazzmin Babers then got a kill to mark the start of an 8-1 run that put the Aggies within 22-21. Hollann Hans, the reigning SEC Freshman of the Week, also helped kick start the Aggies, posting three kills during the rally.The teams began to trade points with a kill by Bali Leffall-Young putting the Bulldogs at set point, 24-22.

Evie Grace Singleton put down her fifth kill of the stanza to put the Bulldogs at set point for the third time, 25-24, but junior opposite hitter Ashlie Reasor put down an errant MSU overpass for a kill to tie the score. Babers followed with a strategically placed tip kill to the sideline to even the score, 26-26, and then she teamed with junior setter Stephanie Aiple to block Singleton to close out the set.There were 17 ties and eight lead changes in the closely contested second set before A&M pulled out the 29-27 win. MSU held the largest lead of either team at 7-3 before Babers caromed a kill off the Bulldog block to start a 5-0 run that gave the Aggies their first lead since 1-0. The teams continued to battle back and forth before Blake had two of her six kills in the set during a 3-0 run that gave the Aggies their largest lead, 21-18. MSU fought back to tie the score at 23-all, but Reasor broke the tie and put A&M at set point with a well-timed off-speed shot that fell in for a kill. An A&M ball-handling error knotted the score at 24-24, and Singleton followed with a kill to give the Bulldogs a 25-24 lead. Aiple quickly set up Babers for back-to-back kills to return the lead to A&M.

Weve definitely had some frustrating slow starts. We cant do that and finish the way we want to finish anymore, we cant do it anymore. We just challenged them to make a switch. We were hesitant on the court, there was not as good of communication as there usually is. I realize that is going to happen sometimes, but my job is to let that not happen. If it happens, you have to call them out on it, so thats what we did. I think we kind of woke up some players that kind of didnt realize they needed to be woken up. Overall a 3-0 win in the SEC near the end of the season, Im really happy about the victory. [Mississippi State] just doesnt quit swinging at blocks. I almost wanted to at some point stop blocking because we seem to dig them better just a straight, clear shot coming at you then they score at the block. They came at us on their right side, and thats not an easy spot to defend from when they just relentlessly swing away. I thought they had a great game plan, and I thought they really handled, for having two freshman on the floor, outside hitter and setter, they had great composure and very well coached.On strategy against Mississippi State... [Kaitlyn] Blake was really hot, so whenever we can get our middles going, both in front and behind our setter, its something we definitely want to stick with. Blake hasnt had a night like tonight in a long time. Shes been a little bit hot and cold lately, and this night she was obviously really hot with 13 kills, one error. Its really difficult to stop us when we are running both of those two in front of the setter and the blockers are having to figure out when to jump, who to jump with, who to stop. I thought [Stephanie Aiple] made some really great decisions, especially when we were running our combinations. A lot of the time setters want to set someone in that combination and she is setting someone outside of the combination. Thats usually a one-on-one situation as well. I was really impressed with her selections.On Mississippi States Outside Hitter Evie Grace Singleton... What a player. I love it when the players can come in defying the odds. Not the size, not the jump, not the accolades that so many SEC players come in here with. Just a kid that is just talented and goes for it. In fact, I compared her to my players. I said, if every one of you played like that, just with that kind of joy, passion and intensity, boy what a fun team it would be to coach every night. They dont like it when I do that, when I compare them to other players because they take it personally. I tell them its not personal, its just the truth. I thought she was really fun to watch and she does have a great swing. She has had a great career there, she has taken that program. She has been the hitter on that team for four years.On Mississippi States fast pace sets... They do run such a fast set to the pins, to the antennas. Its faster than anyone well see. I dont know if a team can really play any faster than that, is probably how I should say it. It is really challenging; weve worked on it all week in practice. You know, our practice squad side is setting the ball super-fast. Our hitters arent used to hitting it that fast so we try to emulate it, but it was really hard to do. That ball just comes through the seams and off your hands and comes on quick. All the things that take you a little bit out of your typical rhythm of blocking. Blocking is all about timing, rhythm and position. They just ripped that part up on everybody, thats how they score most of the time.TEXAS A&M SOPHOMORE MIDDLE BLOCKER KAITLYN BLAKE On starting stronger... Were a fast, strong team. Its just a matter of if we are ready to come play or not. I think thats what gets in our way. Were so ready that were kind of tight and not wanting to make mistakes, and thats when we make the most mistakes. I think all around tonight we did fairly well. Of course, everybody struggles at times, but we always pull it out in the end. But we do need to start playing well earlier. I think we played well toward the end.On maintaining focus...I think our problem is we get comfortable and think we have it in the bag. We should never have that mindset, because everyone is good in the SEC. Whether youre at the top or the bottom, you never know whats going to happen and you have to stay on your game.On tonights win... I felt like Stephanie [Aiple] and I had a really good connection tonight. Just being up and early normally seems to work for me, and when I feel like I get on a run, it just keeps happening. Its nice to know that Im able to work with my setter, and to perform tonight was what our team needed. I think all the other hitters did that as well, and it was really good for us.TEXAS A&M JUNIOR OUTSIDE HITTER KIARA MCGEE On moving forward as a team... When it comes time for the tournament and were still playing like this, were going to lose, no doubt. Thats what were trying to work on, our mental game, right now, on coming out and starting faster, because we have all the athleticism, height and strength in the world on our team. Right now its just our mental games getting us down right now, and our starts. Cheap Golden State Warriors Jerseys .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

Some people call it rebuilding, and some people prefer to call it tanking. Either way, the process is familiar, and the Cubs just demonstrated how well it can work out. As counterintuitive as it might seem, theres something exciting, something appealing about the notion of tearing things down and starting almost from scratch.Nobody wants to end up in a position where a team thinks about initiating a rebuild. From the perspective of a fan or an executive, the priority is always to win sooner than later, and for rebuilding teams the picture can be bleak. Giving up is never an easy thing to stomach, but reassurance comes from having a long-term plan. It can even feel better to track the development of promising youngsters even while a big league team takes loss after loss.At this moment, there are a few teams in the midst of their own rebuilds. The Atlanta Braves clearly started a few years ago, and they feel like theyve already been through the worst. The Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are at various stages of their own reconstructions. What other rebuild candidates are there? What sort of rebuilding might they be able to do? Ive identified four teams that might soon elect to blow it all up. One of them could even start at any minute.The team that could start rebuilding the soonest is also the team that could have the most to gain. The Chicago White Sox have spent a few years trying to push forward with a quality core and a thin supporting cast. They could very well try that again, but it looks increasingly likely that the Sox could sell off their bigger pieces.dddddddddddd. How far they might go would be up to the front office, but if GM Rick Hahn wants to, he could be the center of the MLB offseason.The White Sox wouldnt gain much if they just sold, say, Melky Cabrera, Todd Frazier and David Robertson. Cabreras contract is underwater. Frazier is in his last year before free agency, and Robertson is due another $25 million over two years as a second-tier closer. Even Jose Abreu might fetch just a modest return; hes close to 30 years old, hes about to get expensive, and hes coming off his worst season. Moving them alone wouldnt significantly help Chicago stock up its farm system.To get there, the White Sox would have to really commit. If they were to commit, just imagine: Chris Sale could go. Jose Quintana could go. Adam Eaton could go. Even Nate Jones could go. Sale is under club control through 2019, Quintana through 2020, Eaton through 2021 and Jones might be as well, depending on a contract technicality. The fact that theyre all under affordable long-term control makes them appealing for Chicago, but it also makes them appealing to the whole baseball landscape. Every team could use those players. Sale is an ace, Quintana might as well be one, Eaton has turned into a star outfielder, and Jones is an underrated, dominant set-up man.
