Uga game one thread (jackson McKenzie break out edition)

[preachermatt83]

McKenzie starting in the dh role

[Homedawg]

Uga starting pitcher a late scratch.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Downs not in the lineup. He hasn’t hit much lately. And he hasn’t hit much for extra bases in his entire career at MSU. And he has been striking out too much.

Kohler is back in the lineup. Chance is in left. Cupp is on the bench.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I need Alford to go 0-4 with 2 errors.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Larry is an automatic out. Why is he batting Leadoff?

[BeardoMSU]

KS looks good tonight. Need the bats to wake tf up.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Runners at the corners and no outs. Need to get something here.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

1-0 good guys.

[BeardoMSU]

Bart is also perplexed by our DH choice, lol.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

I like Mershon’s haircut.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

1-0 going to bottom of 3rd. Top of order coming up. Let’s make some noise here.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Amani with the bomb.

[BrunswickDawg]

Larry is an automatic out. Why is he batting Leadoff?

This aged well

[somebodyshotmypaw]

2-0 state after 3 innings.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Larry is an automatic out. Why is he batting Leadoff?

Good call.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Larry is an automatic out. Why is he batting Leadoff?

I think Lemonis batted him leadoff thinking he might hit a bomb in the bottom of the 3rd**

[mparkerfd20]

This old ass ump behind the plate sux weiners.

[Bdawg]

Man, if it weren’t for a cross up on a pitch we would have gotten out of that unscathed!

[Saltydog]

Nice break out game. . . . .

[maroonmania]

Man, if it weren’t for a cross up on a pitch we would have gotten out of that unscathed!

Yep, as has been said, it's always these little screw ups that keep getting us beat in close games.

[maroonmania]

Gotro's offense not getting it done.

[Saltydog]

Yep and it could very well happen again because we're not hitting and their lineup can strike quickly.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

The folks who wanted Stephen out of the rotation after the LSU game have been quiet the last few weeks.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Offense needs to wake up

[Activated Alpha]

Damn we suck

[maroonmania]

So, we had what 5 hits on Sunday, 2 hits against Cent Ark until the 9th and now 3 hits through 6 tonight? Offense is becoming a problem. I don't see 2 or 3 runs winning this game.

[maroonmania]

Stephen pitching a heck of a game. But the bullpen will likely blow the game if we don't get another few runs.

[Saltydog]

Stephen starting to get behind hitters. Maybe he can work thru this inning unscathed.

[maroonmania]

Here comes Davis. I have a doom and gloom feeling about this game.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

If you take out the one bad LSU start, Stephen has given up 11 earned runs in 40.2 innings this season. That’s an ERA of 2.43.

[maroonmania]

And Davis walks Collins to get to Condon.***

[msstate7]

Can anyone explain to me McKenzie facing the lhp as a DH?

[maroonmania]

Had to make Collins hit there but we walk him.. This is why we don't win close games. Now the best hitter in the country up with 2 on and 2 out.

[Saltydog]

Not a good situation here with Condin coming up. Ump squeezed Davis but he's got to throw strikes. He's hurting us right now.

[maroonmania]

Whoo! Got out of it. Good job by Schulke.

[Saltydog]

Coincidental that Kohler starts with a "K"? I think not.

[CaptainObvious]

These batters suck! All of them. Even the Stars because they are selfish batters!

[msstate7]

DH McKenzie vs a lhp has to be the dumbest move I've seen in a while

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Dakota acts like he was shot. He needs to quit the drama and go to first.

[Saltydog]

You know, Jay Johson, O'Sullivan, Bianco and Wes Johnson could start a dwarf convention.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Kentucky beat Bama.

Auburn about to beat Tennessee

Florida and Missouri are in extra innings.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Atta boy Hunter!

[Saltydog]

Good AB by Hines. . . . .

[somebodyshotmypaw]

BOMB!

[Commercecomet24]

Looks like our hitters found that "clutch" gene tonight lol!

[State82]

Oh. Yeah.

[Commercecomet24]

I'm so glad these kids having bigger stones than some of the people on this board!

[somebodyshotmypaw]

2 outs and bases empty:

Mershon bunt single
Dakota HBP
Hines pokes a RBI single the other way
Hujsak bomb

[CaptainObvious]

I'm so glad these kids having bigger stones than some of the people on this board!

Well I'll be damn. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn from time to time!

But the big guns came through in the inning for sure. As rare as it has been, it was a thing of beauty!!!

[DownwardDawg]

Nice

[Saltydog]

Damn Schuelke, throw strikes. Lead off walk.....

[Commercecomet24]

Well I'll be damn. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn from time to time!

But the big guns came through in the inning for sure. As rare as it has been, it was a thing of beauty!!!

Amen sir! Let's hope they're opening those blind eyes!

[DownwardDawg]

Dakota acts like he was shot. He needs to quit the drama and go to first.

I actually liked it in that situation. And look, it shook the pitcher. So Jordan won.

[R2Dawg]

Wrap it, now get this series tomorrow. Great pitching tonight and enough timely hitting. Cam S is a weapon from the bullpen.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

5-5 in the league now. Let’s keep digging. Need Loo to pitch well tomorrow.

Ole Miss about to drop to 3-8.

[Offshore Dawg]

I'm so glad these kids having bigger stones than some of the people on this board!

Well said CC24

[maroonmania]

Really good win tonight. Thanks to Hines and Huge Sack for taking the pressure off in the ninth with some clutch hits. Holding this GA lineup to 1 run is not easy so great job by our pitchers.

[Bdawg]

2 outs and bases empty:

Mershon bunt single
Dakota HBP
Hines pokes a RBI single the other way
Hujsak bomb

Good to see someone drop a bunt just to change things up and get on base because they were shoving it to us from 3rd inning on. Why did they take that pitcher out I wonder?

[Commercecomet24]

I actually liked it in that situation. And look, it shook the pitcher. So Jordan won.

Heck yeah sell the heck out of it!

[bigbub50]

Continue to be so impressed with how mershon plays the game. I think he needs to lead off. Either flip with Larry or move Larry back and huge sack up.

[Lord McBuckethead]

94 to the kidney doesn?t feel good.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Good to see someone drop a bunt just to change things up and get on base because they were shoving it to us from 3rd inning on. Why did they take that pitcher out I wonder?

Got to be saving him for later. That kids pitches were really impressive and they all were working with his special strike zone the ump was giving them.

[Bdawg]

Zone was extra special for him and not there for us!! I figured he had thrown enough pitches to be burned for the weekend so why not give him the ninth. Oh well. Good for us. But that last guy had some nice run on his heater too.

[Commercecomet24]

Hugesak him and Long are my favorites. True gamers!

[msstate7]

Nice win

[Commercecomet24]

DH McKenzie vs a lhp has to be the dumbest move I've seen in a while

The lefty has reverse splits. Leftys hit him better that rightys. Scouting

[CaptainObvious]

Continue to be so impressed with how mershon plays the game. I think he needs to lead off. Either flip with Larry or move Larry back and huge sack up.

Larry is Jekyll and Hyde. Takes 2 right down main, strikes out on a ball out if the zone or rolls a weak grounder to a middle infielder. Or leads off an inning with a first pitch homer. I can't figure why he takes so many pitches in multiple at bats and then hits the first pitch in an at bat out of the park.

I'm righty there with ya! Drives me crazy the amount of fastballs he takes and then like you said first pitch bang home run, insane!

[cheewgumm]

So Schuelke is the closer now right?

[Commercecomet24]

So Schuelke is the closer now right?

He sure has shown the stones for it lately! Let's roll with him and see!

[cheewgumm]

Amen. Agree

[Coach34]

"We had to settle for a pitcher from Purdue. Lemon cant Croot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[cheewgumm]

Stephens is a monster

[Commercecomet24]

"We had to settle for a pitcher from Purdue. Lemon cant Croot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Khal is a Dawg! He's a competitor and wants the ball! I loved how pissed off he was when he had to come out! That's the mentality and big time starter has to have.

[SPMT]

Looked lien that to me, was it obvious in tv anyone?

Ump seemed to have a low strike zone early, did not give us that later it seemed. Hard to tell laterally live.

[SPMT]

No doubt. Guy can play. Tough. Gamer. I think the younger/new guys are the leaders/gamers. I don’t have any inside info and didn’t care to. It just looks that way. I don’t think is Hines or Jordan. Not so sure some of the upperclassmen weren’t corrupted by thinking they also had won a natty. Who knows. Team overall is tougher.

Ump was bad, really bad, but I've given up hope on college umpires. They're inconsistent at best, completely incompetent at worst

[State82]

No doubt about it. It is inexcusable to be this bad.

[preachermatt83]

Hugesak him and Long are my favorites. True gamers!

Yup. My three favs too. All three are just ole dirt bags

[preachermatt83]

One thing we do VERY well is play the shift. We are better at it than anyone on college baseball

[Todd4State]

So Schuelke is the closer now right?

Maybe. I bet we use Tyson Hardin tomorrow as the closer. Then we can bring Schuelke back on Sunday.

I'm not going to say anything about Dohm.

[Todd4State]

"We had to settle for a pitcher from Purdue. Lemon cant Croot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I'll say this- Khal Stephen will help us get some of the higher end names out of the portal. Parker is making a name for himself.

[Todd4State]

The lefty has reverse splits. Leftys hit him better that rightys. Scouting

Yeah. A lot of fans think it's cut and dried but these teams have data that fans would have to hunt for.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah. A lot of fans think it's cut and dried but these teams have data that fans would have to hunt for.

Exactly! It gets me when we give up a hit with a shift or something and people complain about us being out of position. They neglect to notice though how many hits and runs that positioning saves.

[Commercecomet24]

One thing we do VERY well is play the shift. We are better at it than anyone on college baseball

Yes thank you for saying that! Exactly! We do it better than just about any college team I've seen!

[maroonmania]

I'll say this- Khal Stephen will help us get some of the higher end names out of the portal. Parker is making a name for himself.

Parker is amazing overall. To do what he has with our staff essentially without Dohm and without Loftin is awesome. When is the last time we have given up 10 runs or more in a game? Last year that was routine. If Lemonis survives it will be 95% because of Parker.

[ZedFedder]

This team certainly can go up another notch when(if) we get Dohm back.
