Uga game 2 thread: Mackenzie back on the bench edition

[preachermatt83]

Let?s win this series tonight!!

[preachermatt83]

Alford leading off for uga tonight

[Saltydog]

Oh boy, Jurangelo struggling in the first.........Need a twin killing.........

[preachermatt83]

Jangalang struggling bad early

[Leroy Jenkins]

Suboptimal.

[preachermatt83]

Zero movement on anything he is throwing

[preachermatt83]

Stick with the fb. Slider is struggling

[preachermatt83]

Getting out of that, only giving up one run is great!

[msstate7]

Wow, huge holding em to 1

[preachermatt83]

Finally a leadoff hitter type of AB for Larry to start a game. But 265 ain’t gonna cut it. He’s gotta get back to hitting

[msstate7]

Georgia's logo on a football helmet looks too flight. It looks like trash on a baseball hat

[msstate7]

Get the ball in the air

[preachermatt83]

Uga pitcher is throwing gas

[preachermatt83]

Georgia's logo on a football helmet looks too flight. It looks like trash on a baseball hat
I agree. It just looks weird

[msstate7]

Jordan is a mess right now. He keeps taking fastballs down the middle

[msstate7]

Apparently jordan is a guess hitter. That won't work in pro ball

[preachermatt83]

Jordan is a mess right now. He keeps taking fastballs down the middle

It’s awful. Like really really bad right now. It’s gotta be just a slump but this is 4 games of watching fb’s right donn the heart

[TALL DAWG]

Yes.
Swing the flipping bat please.
Enough of looking at 3rd strikes.

[preachermatt83]

Now we working jang

[preachermatt83]

Yes.
Swing the flipping bat please.
Enough of looking at 3rd strikes.

Exactly

[Saltydog]

We ain't touching this guy. . . . .

[Bdawg]

I guess we don’t like swinging at the fastball

[magrooder]

We do not look comfortable at the plate

[msstate7]

Every pitcher they've throw at us is 5+ or right at 5 era so far this weekend. We need to start hitting

[preachermatt83]

I am just not a GoTro fan. Our approach is always pitiful

[preachermatt83]

Jangalang dealing now. We need to get some bats going. Our approach at the plate is so bad

[Bdawg]

Jang already about 60 pitches. Let’s get some runs!!

[CaptainObvious]

Our batters are getting locked in at the plate and their pitcher is running the clock down to 3 or 4 seconds. Batters can't call time so they have wait in full ready to hit. He is freezing them. Chance figured it out. He kept the bat on his shoulder until pitch started the wind up. The rest haven't figured that out yet.

[msstate7]

That was one of the best non-out plays I've saw. What a flip by the pitcher

[Commercecomet24]

Johnny Long!

[preachermatt83]

We HAVE to score 2 right here

[preachermatt83]

It’s time to get out of this slump right here DJ. Cmon.

[Leroy Jenkins]

0 for last 10. He can make up for that here.

[magrooder]

Jordan came through

[msstate7]

Boy, Jordan (and I) needed that.

[preachermatt83]

That’s what happens when you swing the bat!! Boom

[Commercecomet24]

The very reason why you can't panic early in games. Lot can happen in 9 innings and second time through order we've made adjustments that's what baseball is all about

[Saltydog]

Mershon, sigh......That's freaking horrible........

[msstate7]

Mershon, pick up trash in the stands postgame

[magrooder]

Come on Mershon

[Bdawg]

How stupid can you be Mershon!!!! So freaking dumb!!

[preachermatt83]

What the literal crap. How can you be so dumb

[Commercecomet24]

Love Mershon but that was bone headed

[Commercecomet24]

Mershon, pick up trash in the stands postgame

I love that!

[preachermatt83]

Your 3b coach has to be saying “shorten it up” after that first time of almost getting picked. But of course our 3b coach doesn’t even want to be there. I’ve never seen a coach as lazy as Cheese

[Commercecomet24]

Your 3b coach has to be saying “shorten it up” after that first time of almost getting picked. But of course our 3b coach doesn’t even want to be there. I’ve never seen a coach as lazy as Cheese

That's not on the coach

[msstate7]

There's no player on the team I like more than Mershon, and I'm shocked he got caught after almost being caught. Get your head in the game

[EdwardDrayton]

Jobu, take fear from bats.

[Commercecomet24]

Jobu, take fear from bats.

Yes sir!

[magrooder]

He safe

[msstate7]

Hines has come a long way, but gotta stretch big guy

[magrooder]

Long gets the foul out

[Commercecomet24]

Long is just a baseball player! Probably be a great coach one day!

[preachermatt83]

I agree with Burke. It’s hard not to like Lemo

[preachermatt83]

That's not on the coach

I didn’t say it was. I said he has to be doing something over there besides digging in his draws. If he is coaching his kid then that doesn’t happen. Ultimately on Merchon. BUT, Cheese could have helped it

[Commercecomet24]

I agree with Burke. It’s hard not to like Lemo

You got that right and if you've ever talked to him you know he's very personable and just a good guy. Gotta win though lol!

[preachermatt83]

Long is just a baseball player! Probably be a great coach one day!

Absolutely agree. Love his style. And he’s very underrated as a defensive catcher.

[BeardoMSU]

That bobble cost Loo a few pitches, but he's dealing. Need more offense and less offensive base-running.

[BeardoMSU]

I agree with Burke. It’s hard not to like Lemo

Agreed. I really like the guy and want him to right the ship.

[preachermatt83]

You got that right and if you've ever talked to him you know he's very personable and just a good guy. Gotta win though lol!

Absolutely. I’ve had the opportunity to spend a little time with him and that’s one of the reasons I’ve supported him so staunchly. He knows the game and he’s a very nice guy. I also like how he handles the media. He’s strait up.

[preachermatt83]

Agreed. I really like the guy and want him to right the ship.

Same

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely. I’ve had the opportunity to spend a little time with him and that’s one of the reasons I’ve supported him so staunchly. He knows the game and he’s a very nice guy. I also like how he handles the media. He’s strait up.

I concur with that 100%. The guy knows the game so well and just super good dude.

[preachermatt83]

UGA pitcher velo is ticking downward and Jang’s is ticking up. Bodes well for us

[Commercecomet24]

Absolutely agree. Love his style. And he’s very underrated as a defensive catcher.

He's the kinda player we've been missing last couple years. And he's tough as nails and fundamentally sound in all he does. Great defensive catvher

[Bdawg]

Just a bad pitch. Ouch

[Saltydog]

Terrible pitch by Loo. You can't hang a pitch like that to Condon. That thing was served up there on a tee.

[preachermatt83]

Solo shots don’t usually beat you

[Activated Alpha]

It was about this time last night when I said we suck. Soooo here I go again, we suck.....

[Leroy Jenkins]

Piss. Missile.

[preachermatt83]

We need this game tonight. We won’t beat them tmr.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Now we in the pen. In college anything's possible when you get in the pen, as we know.

[preachermatt83]

It’s time to move Larry down in the order

[preachermatt83]

I don’t think I would have pulled jang yet

[preachermatt83]

We are going to lose most games that we are dependent on our bullpen for 4 innings

[Leroy Jenkins]

This infield is pretty darn good.

[GolfDawg]

I don’t think I would have pulled jang yet

Yeah, seemed early. His pitch count was below 80 right?

[DownwardDawg]

I concur with that 100%. The guy knows the game so well and just super good dude.

This, and the fact that he's won our only Natty makes me root for him.

[Commercecomet24]

Kohler with 2 great plays tonight and a hit

[msstate7]

I loved Hardin pimping it leaving the field

[preachermatt83]

This, and the fact that he's won our only Natty makes me root for him.

Absolutely

[Commercecomet24]

This, and the fact that he's won our only Natty makes me root for him.

Amen!

[preachermatt83]

Kohler with 2 great plays tonight and a hit

Yup. He’s a very good defender. If he could hit 270 we wouldn’t ask for much more

[preachermatt83]

Yeah, seemed early. His pitch count was below 80 right?

Round about there. And he was getting stronger and stronger. Odd.

[msstate7]

Jordan gonna give himself a hernia on that swing lol

[preachermatt83]

Gotta score 1 here. Leadoff free passes MUST score

[preachermatt83]

Man DJ swings for the fences all the time

[preachermatt83]

If our offense doesn’t figure it out we are in for a long second half of the season. Namely Larry, DJ, and Hines

[msstate7]

If our offense doesn’t figure it out we are in for a long second half of the season. Namely Larry, DJ, and Hines

I think it's a slump

[preachermatt83]

Our ability to watch strikes go by is truly remarkable. Freaking sickening

[mparkerfd20]

Someone said it earlier jokingly, but we indeed do suck. We can't hit for shit.

[Saltydog]

Hines and Jordan = K machines. . . . Combined 73 K's between the two. . . . .

[GolfDawg]

Missed opportunity. Leadoff man gets on and 3-4-5 give you two k?s and a fly ball. Georgia?s pitching hasn?t been great all year and we are not getting after them like we need to.

[GolfDawg]

Round about there. And he was getting stronger and stronger. Odd.

Just saw he was at 93 pitches, so I guess it wasn?t too unusual with a fresh pen.

[EdwardDrayton]

We're just not seeing the ball very well right now. Part of the ebb and flow over the course of a season. We will come out of it and be fine.

[ScooterDog]

You can?t get a hit if you don?t swing the bat!!!

[magrooder]

Hardin let that ball call get into his head

[DownwardDawg]

This infield is pretty darn good.

Our pitching and defense makes us dangerous if we get in the post season.

[EdwardDrayton]

Hardin let that ball call get into his head

He pitches from behind in the count too much. He's avoided giving up runs tonight but against better teams it will cause him trouble.

[preachermatt83]

Our pitching and defense makes us dangerous if we get in the post season.

If we could ever learn to hit. Or even have decent AB’s. When your leadoff, 3, and 4 are slumping all at the same time that’s trouble

[preachermatt83]

Hardin let that ball call get into his head

Yup. Just told my wife the exact same thing. But nice to see him recover

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

We're just not seeing the ball very well right now. Part of the ebb and flow over the course of a season. We will come out of it and be fine.

Probably. But will the slump cost us any losses we can't afford? Time will tell. If we lose tonight it's 1

[preachermatt83]

Hines and Jordan = K machines. . . . Combined 73 K's between the two. . . . .

Wow. That’s a ton!

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Welp, McKenzie isn't ready. Awful looking AB

[preachermatt83]

We are pinch hitting Mackenzie In the 7th???

[preachermatt83]

Mackenzie doesn’t need to see the field anymore this season in any game we aren’t up by 7+ in

[preachermatt83]

Wait… who did he pinch hit for??? Chance?? One of the only hitters we have who is actually hitting the ball???

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Yup. He?s a very good defender. If he could hit 270 we wouldn?t ask for much more

Yeah but .209 is a big different. Now if he can find a way to keep outfielders making errors, we might have somethin

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

They gifted you a 2 out double the Baseball Gods demand we score here or they will punish us with the L

[preachermatt83]

This game is starting to tick me off

[magrooder]

That's an embarrassing miss by the left fielder. They probably won't give him hell out there in the lounge, tho.

[magrooder]

Long worked that walk, excellent.

[EdwardDrayton]

Zeldin reminds me of the actor Sean Astin. I'd start chanting 'Rudy Rudy Rudy'.

[Bdawg]

Dang it why couldn’t that be down the line!

[preachermatt83]

Larry may need a game or two on the bench with cupp at 2b. Larry is slumping absolutely terribly.

[preachermatt83]

We absolutely deserve to lose this game

[msstate7]

If I had the lineup card...

Mershon
Jordan
Larry
Hines
Husjak
Whatever

[msstate7]

We absolutely deserve to lose this game

Nah, we've held a really good offense in check for almost 2 games. This is just what we wanted in this series... we can't win a slug fest

[DownwardDawg]

Larry may need a game or two on the bench with cupp at 2b. Larry is slumping absolutely terribly.

Hell, I was shocked he hit the ball. I fully expected a strikeout.

[DownwardDawg]

Nah, we've held a really good offense in check for almost 2 games. This is just what we wanted in this series... we can't win a slug fest

I agree. We've done what we needed, other than a few timely hits. We need a couple runs this next at bat

[magrooder]

I like Stevens presence on the mound. He pitches with confidence

[msstate7]

I like Stevens presence on the mound. He pitches with confidence

Glad he is... I'm nervous as hell

[magrooder]

Should be out of the inning. That pitch has been a strike all night.

[preachermatt83]

That was a freaking strike

[maroonmania]

Just got to join onto the game. What the heck is wrong with our offense?????

[Leroy Jenkins]

Regardless of how this turns out, I don't think I'd go Stevens in this situation.

[msstate7]

Long is becoming my new man crush

[Commercecomet24]

I love Johnny Long!

[Bdawg]

Johnny F-ing Long!!! Hahahah

[msstate7]

I'll back long all day, but what's he mad about? lol

[preachermatt83]

I FREAKING LOVE THE WAY LONG PLAYS THE GAME!!!

[DownwardDawg]

Long!!!! Hahaha

[BeardoMSU]

Calm down Johnny, lol...no need to go Rome vs Carthage on him...he's only little.**

[Bdawg]

Not sure what pissed him off though

[DownwardDawg]

No idea why he did that, and he shouldn't have, but I LIKE IT!!!!!

[BeardoMSU]

What a relay, tho! Let's not forget about that, lol.

[Commercecomet24]

They probably been talking trash all night and long shoved it! Told y'all ol Johnnys just a baseball player!

[msstate7]

He might should be tossed. I don't like it, but it was pretty uncalled for

[EdwardDrayton]

Johnny 'Holmes' Long!!

[HoopsDawg]

No idea why he did that, and he shouldn't have, but I LIKE IT!!!!!

It's like Lemon said, Long is an A-hole

[Commercecomet24]

I FREAKING LOVE THE WAY LONG PLAYS THE GAME!!!

He's old school!

[Saltydog]

I love the spirit but Long has got to be better than that. He plays a little chippy and that's great but he's put his team in a bad position. He's likely to be thrown outta this game. The knees didn't hurt the guy but they were unnecessary. If that had happened to our guy this whole board would implode.

[BeardoMSU]

Is that a reviewable thing? Wtf is this?

[msstate7]

What's the review for? I'm listening to music

[Bdawg]

Nothing excessive about the play! Now afterwards, just a little bit.

[HoopsDawg]

Seems like a poor job by the umpires. This delay is too long. Play ball.

[Bdawg]

Is that a reviewable thing? Wtf is this?

Never heard of such

[BeardoMSU]

What's the review for? I'm listening to music

Ejecting you for Creed violation**

[HoopsDawg]

What's the review for? I'm listening to music

Maliciously contact at the plate

[maroonmania]

Are we about to get screwed at home??

[magrooder]

So is the review to toss Long? He can't be safe.

[EdwardDrayton]

Georgia players been stokin' that fire all weekend. This is a non issue. Play ball.

[Commercecomet24]

Naw he's out they're reviewing for malicious contact I guess to eject long

[Bdawg]

He might should be tossed. I don't like it, but it was pretty uncalled for

Well heck you can’t review to toss a guy can you? Ump should toss him immediately, or let’s play ball!! Geez!

[HoopsDawg]

Toss him or play ball!!

[Commercecomet24]

Georgia players been stokin' that fire all weekend. This is a non issue. Play ball.

You're always right my man! Talk s*** get hit!

[Bdawg]

Naw he's out they're reviewing for malicious contact I guess to eject long

Only contact was after the play. Not during though? You think?

[preachermatt83]

This is ridiculous

[Churchill]

No we're about to screw ourselves at home.

[Commercecomet24]

Only contact was after the play. Not during though? You think?

Yeah it was after the out. Like dead ball penalty lol, i guess!

[msstate7]

Maliciously contact at the plate

Can't really argue it. Sucks

[HoopsDawg]

Toss him or play ball!!

10 minute stoppage now another review. Welcome to 2024. What a wuss society

[BeardoMSU]

Now this must be about dugout clearing, yes?

[Commercecomet24]

This is insane ! Play ball

[Bdawg]

Man this is weak sauce!! He just bumped into him some. I’ve never seen such!! Ump should toss immediately or play ball.

[Commercecomet24]

10 minute stoppage now another review. Welcome to 2024. What a wuss society

No kidding! When I was playing this wouldn't have even been an issue

[DawgFromOxford]

How long does it take to make a review? I mean geez

[preachermatt83]

They probably been talking trash all night and long shoved it! Told y'all ol Johnnys just a baseball player!

Someone on Twitter said that the guy on the slide is the same guy that hit long on the back swing earlier

[magrooder]

Get rid of the bubbles fellow. Let a/m be gay

[BeardoMSU]

Welcome to 2024. What a wuss society

Lol, Johnny Long begs to differ. Stop bitching or someone will do to you what he just did...

[preachermatt83]

You're always right my man! Talk s*** get hit!

Exactly.

[BeardoMSU]

How is jawing at a guy a reviewable thing?

[maroonmania]

What did Long think the runner had done where he felt the need to go knee him??

[msstate7]

10 minute stoppage now another review. Welcome to 2024. What a wuss society

It's their pitcher taking the mound... I think this helps us

[Commercecomet24]

My goodness he just bumped the dude he dint hit him or punch him geez soft

[msstate7]

What did Long think the runner had done where he felt the need to go knee him??

His candy ass tried to score on him hahA

[Saltydog]

Yeah, bubble blowers should be an automatic ejection.

[DawgFromOxford]

All i know is we better not blow the game after this. Don't get punked at home

[preachermatt83]

10 minute stoppage now another review. Welcome to 2024. What a wuss society

This!!!!!!!!

[magrooder]

My goodness he just bumped the dude he dint hit him or punch him geez soft

That would be pretty pissy to eject him for not much.

[Bdawg]

Whatever the hell happens let’s just take the lead here and get three outs. Piss on this weak stuff! This is ridiculous

[State82]

Yet another prime example of the total incompetence of SEC officials

[BeardoMSU]

All i know is we better not blow the game after this. Don't get punked at home

This

[EdwardDrayton]

If they toss Long, Lemo should go full on George Brett on the umps.

[DownwardDawg]

These officials should get ejected for this weak shit.

[Commercecomet24]

The DJ should play don't cry out loud for this soft crap

[Commercecomet24]

If they toss Long, Lemo should go full on George Brett on the umps.

I would! I'd get my moneys worth!

[BeardoMSU]

The DJ should play don't cry out loud for this soft crap

No Vaseline, Ice Cube***

[Quaoarsking]

Why do we need a 15 minute review for an ejection? The plate umpire should just eject him or not eject him and be done with it. He saw it happen better than anyone.

[Commercecomet24]

Yet another prime example of the total incompetence of SEC officials

One thing you can always count on from sec officials

[maroonmania]

So after all the taunting and circus act that TN did with regularity over the past few years, now THAT is all it takes to get tossed?

[preachermatt83]

These idiots are acting like it’s a big fight or something. My gosh

[Commercecomet24]

No Vaseline, Ice Cube***

That'll work too!

[BeardoMSU]

This has to about players leaving the dugout, right?

[Commercecomet24]

These idiots are acting like it’s a big fight or something. My gosh

For a dang knee bump my goodness !

[Quaoarsking]

Are they going to eject both benches? That's dumb.

[msstate7]

I really think this delay helps us... they apparently using same pitcher that's thrown 46 pitches and now been not throwing for like 30 mins

[preachermatt83]

I would! I'd get my moneys worth!

Me too!!!

[BeardoMSU]

I really think this delay helps us... they apparently using same pitcher that's thrown 46 pitches and now been not throwing for like 30 mins

I like your outlook, 7.

[preachermatt83]

For a dang knee bump my goodness !

Exactly

[Commercecomet24]

I really think this delay helps us... they apparently using same pitcher that's thrown 46 pitches and now been not throwing for like 30 mins

I agree with this. Let him get stiff

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Wtf is going on. Long knocked him over one additional time and literally nothing else happened.

[maroonmania]

SEC has lost its mind if this is the correct protocol for a bumping incident.

[CaptainObvious]

This has to about players leaving the dugout, right?

Yes. They are trying to get the numbers of the bench players via video review.

[EdwardDrayton]

I would! I'd get my moneys worth!

I remember a Braves minor league coach who threw bases and did a combat crawl to home plate!!! LOL!!!

[msstate7]

Please tell me our backup catcher didn't come on field

[magrooder]

I really think this delay helps us... they apparently using same pitcher that's thrown 46 pitches and now been not throwing for like 30 mins

Worked well for FSU a few years back, but we don't have a Macnamee nowadays.

[maroonmania]

So its malicious conduct to come out of the dugout?

[Commercecomet24]

I remember a Braves minor league coach who threw bases and did a combat crawl to home plate!!! LOL!!!

Yep Brad wellman! He lives on forever for that!

[DEDawg]

25 min. Insanity

[BeardoMSU]

Oh, we're clearly getting ****ed here...

[maroonmania]

SEC officiating is run by a bunch of clowns in EVERY sport.

[Quaoarsking]

At least we had our whole lineup out on the field, so they won't be ejected. I'm assuming Georgia will lose some starters.

[maroonmania]

Oh, we're clearly getting ****ed here...

You expected something different?

[Commercecomet24]

I've never seen anything like this in over 50 years of baseball playing coaching and watching

[BeardoMSU]

Wtf

[msstate7]

At least we had our whole lineup out on the field, so they won't be ejected. I'm assuming Georgia will lose some starters.

If our backup catcher came out, we screwed

[BeardoMSU]

4 game suspensions, too?

[preachermatt83]

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of

[Commercecomet24]

Well dang if they gonna do all this we might as well fight!

[preachermatt83]

4 game suspensions, too?

Georgia should have many more than us losing

[Quaoarsking]

Both coaches should be able to agree to waive an ejection. And I think both coaches would agree to that (other than Long)

[magrooder]

We are obviously screwed big time.

[Quaoarsking]

How the hell is Amani Larry ejected???

[msstate7]

Who all ejected?

[magrooder]

Georgia's whole dugout came out.

[msudawg1200]

***** ass stupid SEC shite

[maroonmania]

This whole rule is ridiculous. I'm sure Condon is still available.

[EdwardDrayton]

Clearly this is no longer the game of my youth. Sad.

[mparkerfd20]

Long, Hines, and Larry out next 4 games

[Bdawg]

Well dang if they gonna do all this we might as well fight!

Hell yeah! Let?s go!

[Commercecomet24]

Clearly this is no longer the game of my youth. Sad.

Right this is soft as heck!

[msudawg1200]

Long, Hines, and Larry out next 4 games

Stupid f'ing SEC pansy ass horsecrap

[Commercecomet24]

Long, Hines, and Larry out next 4 games

This will be appealed and it'll be reduced

[Activated Alpha]

Figured MState would get ****ed by the SEC. Seems they love dicking with us every chance they get

[Bdawg]

Long, Hines, and Larry out next 4 games

2 of those guys did nothing and were already on the field

[Quaoarsking]

What are we still waiting on? Even if everyone is ejected, start playing again!

[Commercecomet24]

Soft soft world we're living in

[BeardoMSU]

They're going to cancel the game next, lol

[maroonmania]

The whole SEC is just a joke when it comes to officiating.

[DawgFromOxford]

At this point call it offsetting penalties and roll. This is terrible

[msstate7]

Long, Hines, and Larry out next 4 games

Who on Georgia's side?

[DEDawg]

I assume this will instantly get appealed and reduced but this is insanity. Ump should be ashamed

[BeardoMSU]

This will be appealed and it'll be reduced

Probably not for Long, tho.

[HoopsDawg]

Horrible job by the crew chief Jeff Head. You have to manage this better.

Also, the players were leaving their position anyway bc there were 3 outs. That's not the correct interpretation of the rule. Use some common sense.

[starkvegasdawg]

I assume this will instantly get appealed and reduced but this is insanity. Ump should be ashamed

Can you appeal? I would hope so. This is next level horse shit.

[msstate7]

This will be appealed and it'll be reduced

Or we just lost our first series to OM in a long time

[mparkerfd20]

Announcers are wrong I think. In game suspension is only 1 game.

[Commercecomet24]

Horrible job by the crew chief Jeff Head. You have to manage this better.

Also, the players were leaving their position anyway bc there were 3 outs. That's not the correct interpretation of the rule. Use some common sense.

100%!

[maroonmania]

Never seen anything like this at any level when NO punches were thrown and the only contact was a bumping from a knee. This game just became a total joke.

[msudawg1200]

Dumbass Johnson had it reviewed. Lemonis needs to go beat his ass.
