Battle of the Maroons- SEC Tourney G2

[Cowbell]

This is the kind of shit we all get pissed at Lemonis about. Dohm has not thrown a ball and Hardin couldn’t find the strike zone with binoculars.

And we could have used him Sunday and the Sunday before. I swear he concedes games

[StarkVegasSteve]

I am afraid we have wasted our chances. I just do not know how we are going to score again. This guy is dealing and we are basically batting with 1,2,5,6, and 7

[Cowbell]

All world Minor Leaguers. They will be lucky to get a cup of coffee in the majors.

That's what everyone said about Westburg......

[DawgFromOxford]

Tell everyone to leave their bat on their shoulder. Dude is 50/50 on if he'll find the strike zone

[DawgFromOxford]

Kohler swung at a ball that bounced in front of home... What are we doing

[Brobi-wan]

Kohler swinging at stuff that Jack Nicklaus would see in the masters.

[mparkerfd20]

Next run wins it for TaM cause we aren't getting a hit off this guy period.

[archdog]

Well someone is going to have to try to ambush that damn hanging slider.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Honestly just tell Long, Powell, Jordan, and Hines to take every pitch. Maybe they will get walked or get hit. That is the only shot they have of getting on base.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Next run wins it for TaM cause we aren't getting a hit off this guy period.

Most likely will get it here. Dohm has to face 3,4, and 5. And unlike ours, theirs actually does damage.

[KOdawg1]

This game is ova

[Activated Alpha]

Honestly even if this team somehow makes it to Omaha we will see exactly the same results we are seeing now. We can?t hit elite pitching and have trouble with the non elite pitching.

[archdog]

I feel like this game was lost when we couldn?t plate the 8 guys in scoring position with Hines and Jordan up. It may not be 8 but it feels like it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I will say we have handled Montgomery really well. Also, who gives a shit if it is 104 off the bat? It was a grounder dead into the shift

[archdog]

We are as good as aTm. Dohm getting screwed by the Ump.

[archdog]

That looked foul.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We are as good as aTm. Dohm getting screwed by the Ump.

We are as good as any team in America. The difference is that they have managers who make great in game decisions and ours doesn’t.

[Brobi-wan]

Honestly even if this team somehow makes it to Omaha we will see exactly the same results we are seeing now. We can?t hit elite pitching and have trouble with the non elite pitching.

Does that mean we are an elite pitching team? These guys are one of the best hitting teams in the nation.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I feel like this game was lost when we couldn?t plate the 8 guys in scoring position with Hines and Jordan up. It may not be 8 but it feels like it.

It was lost when we had guys standing on 3rd in back to back innings and couldn’t get them home.

[ScoobaDawg]

Heading to the 9th tied up.

Come on long be our savior...

[StarkVegasSteve]

Do we pinch hit here? Can we pinch hit here?

[GolfDawg]

Calm down fellas. Gotta play all 27 outs (maybe more tonight). Seems like some of you already forgot that fact despite what happened last night.

[Political Hack]

I'd feel better if we'd learn how to play no doubles with 2 outs...

[StarkVegasSteve]

Heading to the 9th tied up.

Come on long be our savior...

In the words of Morris Buttermaker, “Turn into it Stein!”

[archdog]

Hopefully we can survive to extras and get Cortez out.

[ScoobaDawg]

"big league stuff"
But yet he can't find the zone if Noone helps him

[StarkVegasSteve]

Somehow this is going to end up with Chance and Mershon on 2nd and 3rd and we will get no runs.

[archdog]

Bunt.

[ScoobaDawg]

Well long made contact and almost... Got it out of the infield

[Political Hack]

99 to the dome!

[ScoobaDawg]

Chance took one off the noggin. Ouch

[CaptainObvious]

Long the Third got all of that one back to the pitcher!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well long made contact and almost... Got it out of the infield

Almost…..got it past the pitchers mound.

[ScoobaDawg]

What's your name Son.....

[Activated Alpha]

Does that mean we are an elite pitching team? These guys are one of the best hitting teams in the nation.

Other than our bullpen which has been more than shaky to be considered elite we have a good staff. They?ve done their jobs this year outside a few blown games. It?s our lack of capitalizing with runners on bases. Once Hines and Jordan can hit up to their talent level then we would be a very good and dangerous team

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hell I would steal here

[archdog]

I would have bunted on the first pitch.

[Cowbell]

You have to pinch hit for long

[HoopsDawg]

Nice AB by Mersh. He makes swing decisions later than everyone else.

[archdog]

Well Hines gets a shot.

[DawgFromOxford]

ok Hines if there's ever a time to get past your issues now is the time

[HoopsDawg]

You have to pinch hit for long

We can't bc Powell is the DH.

[ScoobaDawg]

Mers hbp with full count.
****ing A wtf. Lemonis just challenged. This is stupid

[KOdawg1]

Lemonis is a moron

[Political Hack]

Why are we challenging this?

[mparkerfd20]

Horrible horrible horrible challenge

[archdog]

Another 17n stupid challenge. Can anyone text the coaching staff after we get hosed and tell them to challenge instead of this crap.

[HoopsDawg]

Another horrible challenge by the decision maker.

[StarkVegasSteve]

This is literally just comedic tragedy. Our two supposed superstars are now going to K/fly out and we are going to get zero runs

[Activated Alpha]

Here?s to Hines hopefully hitting up to his talent level. And why are we challenging this?

[archdog]

Yeah, just ask your damn batter.

[ScoobaDawg]

Somehow we retain the challenge.

Cortez is gone

[Political Hack]

At least Cortez is gone.

[Cooterpoot]

This guy coming in has a damn gourd on his shoulders

[archdog]

Alright. We get a new pitcher. Now is the time Hines. Hit a 17n ball to the oppo gap right here. Do not pull the ball against a left hander. Just ride it the other way. For the love of God.

For once in your damn career. Discover how easy the game could be if you used both power alleys.

[mparkerfd20]

Now we have a chance. That pitcher was going to K both Hines and DJ no questions asked.

[Thick]

Wtf is Lemonis doing? Mershon said it hit him in the foot while at first. Last challenge burned on a hit batter that even the batter said happened!

[CaptainObvious]

Well with the 2 guys coming up we need 2 wild pitches to get this run home.

[KOdawg1]

I hope he comes in and is wild

[Political Hack]

Somehow we retain the challenge.

Cortez is gone

Home plate took his mask off immediately and walked in front of the plate. If was a dead ball call before he rounded 2nd.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Now we have a chance. That pitcher was going to K both Hines and DJ no questions asked.

Now they will just most likely K

[Pinto]

When folks ask why others want Lemon fired, crap like this is exhibit A

[HoopsDawg]

Hines going for the platinum sombrero

[StarkVegasSteve]

Do we double steal?

[archdog]

Got to send the runners.

[Cooterpoot]

Double steal and pray for a ball to OF

[Activated Alpha]

Now we have a chance. That pitcher was going to K both Hines and DJ no questions asked.

This pitcher will also K Hines and Jordan

[archdog]

Dammit. Hines. Just don?t swing.
I would rather you K than hit a weak ass grounder to 2nd.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Blown away he laid off at least one.

[Brobi-wan]

This is it

[archdog]

Holy shit. It was the squib he needed to break out of it.

[StarkVegasSteve]

One of his best hits all year and did not get past the pitchers mound. Now GD Dakota, GET A HIT

[Brobi-wan]

Now Jordan just needs to hit one hard

[ScoobaDawg]

Holy shit. Hines with the 15 foot swinging bunt they can't make a play one. Bases loaded for Jordan

[ScoobaDawg]

Damnit. Shallow RF popup. No sac.

Dudes losing money

[Cooterpoot]

Game thread lock

[ScoobaDawg]

Freaking hughsak up the middle base hit.

2rbi for the lead

[archdog]

Good hit Hujsak.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Lets Go!!!

[mparkerfd20]

That damn Hujsak!!!!

[archdog]

Mersh may have missed third.

[ScoobaDawg]

Seriously about knocked the pitchers left leg out from under him. Beautiful hitting

[Brobi-wan]

Why was the other one closed?

[bobtail bob]

Hugsack is clutch

[EdwardDrayton]

RAINMAKER!! BOOOOOYAAAAH!!!

[archdog]

We will take that. Now just get in there and make them earn everything.

[StarkVegasSteve]

7,8, and 9……CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR

[archdog]

Unstoppable negativity. Also that thread was unlucky. This new one has a different feel.

[HoopsDawg]

Why was the other one closed?

Some douchbag mod closed it.

[ScoobaDawg]

Stupid forum

[Cooterpoot]

Why was the other one closed?

Taylor Swifts tits

[KOdawg1]

Man, where would this team be without Hujsak?

[StarkVegasSteve]

Time to shut it down TD

[Brobi-wan]

Actually seeing TD two times consecutively. WILD

[ScoobaDawg]

Some douchbag mod closed it.
F*ck.off This crappy forum software is why. Feel free to leave dipshit

[Activated Alpha]

Hugesack with ice water in his veins

[StarkVegasSteve]

Time to end it TD

[KOdawg1]

Keep it closed Scooba, what the hell

[Commercecomet24]

Hujsak is just a flat out baller. Clutch. He hit a dang good pitch too. Shortened up and just let it travel and put it in play.

[DawgFromOxford]

Davis please do your job

[StarkVegasSteve]

Keep pounding Davis!!!

[HoopsDawg]

Go Dohm 7th and 8. Davis 9th. Don't overthink it.

Thank you Lemonis!

[ScoobaDawg]

What a job by this team.

We should be hosting now boys

[DawgFromOxford]

Let's go!!!!!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

LFG!! See y’all in Starkville next weekend!!!

[archdog]

Two walk offs in a row. Next game, let?s score those runs earlier. Atleast we made aTm burn some pitchers.

[BeardoMSU]

Hujsak and Davis coming up clutch!

[Activated Alpha]

Does this mean we are hosting now?

[StarkVegasSteve]

God bless Virginia Commonwealth University

[Brobi-wan]

We host now.

[EdwardDrayton]

Starkville here we come!!!!

[KOdawg1]

What a gutsy damn win.

Think we just locked up our hosting spot.

But why stop here? Keep winning baby

[magrooder]

Frickin Vanderbilt whistler. I hope he gets strep throat

[CaptainObvious]

Chris Lemonis should be SEC Coach of the Year!

[Cowbell]

I wish we could just leave the tourney now. Just bow out and rest our pitching and get ready for next week

[HoopsDawg]

F*ck.off This crappy forum software is why. Feel free to leave dipshit

Douchebag spotted. Haha

[GolfDawg]

On the highlight of Hujsaks hit they showed our dugout and the whole team is getting hyped but Dakota is just standing there with zero reaction. Really odd.

[Commercecomet24]

Y'all noticed how the last several weeks we've been winning the close ones!? Team has learned how to close. These games would've been losses early on.

[HoopsDawg]

I wish we could just leave the tourney now. Just bow out and rest our pitching and get ready for next week

Nah, we're winning it. Lo tomorrow. Then Pico.

[DEDawg]

Dude is a massive competitor. He is not happy with himself. I love his mentality he will bounce back

[Commercecomet24]

Listen to Hujsak talk about his abs the last two nights. Dude goes up there with an approach and knowing what he's looking for.

[BeardoMSU]

Y'all noticed how the last several weeks we've been winning the close ones!? Team has learned how to close. These games would've been losses early on.

Tyler Davis coming in the game late with lead is starting to feel Sims-esque

He's got the swag right now.

[Commercecomet24]

Nah, we're winning it. Lo tomorrow. Then Pico.

Might as well win the hole freaking thing. Stay hot!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Listen to Hujsak talk about his abs the last two nights. Dude goes up there with an approach and knowing what he's looking for.

He changes his approach with two strikes….real novel concept there.

[HoopsDawg]

He really stays on the ball doesn't he.

[Commercecomet24]

Yes and our starters are pitching awesome. Add Dohm to middle relief and Hardin and Davis 8-9. Dang we gonna give folks heck

[archdog]

Yep. Just rewatched it. Mershon missed third on his turn.

[Commercecomet24]

He really stays on the ball doesn't he.

Yeah he does and he actually chokes up with 2 strikes and gets shorter, doesn't try to do to much. He's the most complete hitter we have. And the dude hustles his butt off!

[MoreCowbell]

I do not understand RPI. Duke is ahead of us but we have a better W/L record, tougher SOS, 16-2 vs 11-12 Q1 wins. And before you say we have 4 Q4 losses they have 3. RPI makes no sense.

[archdog]

Dude is a massive competitor. He is not happy with himself. I love his mentality he will bounce back

He will bounce back the moment he realizes that a double is infinitely better than swinging to hit it out of the stadium every swing because he is way over swinging. Sometimes a solid swing with the barrel in the zone is better.

[bobtail bob]

Tyler Davis coming in the game late with lead is starting to feel Sims-esque

Nobody needs to let this be lost from this game . Dude came in and busted their ass

[Brobi-wan]

If Hardin can get some swagger back we will be set.

[GolfDawg]

Nobody needs to let this be lost from this game . Dude came in and busted their ass

Yes. He was fantastic. Another great start by Khal against a great lineup too.

[MoreCowbell]

We just jumped ahead of them to 19

[StarkVegasSteve]

I still do not understand the path Hujsak took to that ball in the gap. Did he think he was going to catch it?

[HoopsDawg]

I still do not understand the path Hujsak took to that ball in the gap. Did he think he was going to catch it?

It was a bad read. It happens. He came here as a SS.

[Commercecomet24]

I still do not understand the path Hujsak took to that ball in the gap. Did he think he was going to catch it?

If you've ever played at the Met the lighting is not great and he may have thought he had a shot to catch it. Don't know if that's the case but that's my thought.

[archdog]

Yeah, because he is looking to hit, not swinging for the fence on every pitch.

[archdog]

We just jumped ahead of them to 19

Point is, it shouldn?t be close.

[BeardoMSU]

Yes. He was fantastic. Another great start by Khal against a great lineup too.

And Khal didn't have close to his best stuff, but he battled.

[Todd4State]

Nice win! Beat Vandy and we can be off on Friday. Hujsack is playing well. I expect MSU to host.

[Todd4State]

He changes his approach with two strikes….real novel concept there.

The results are shocking!**

[Todd4State]

I do not understand RPI. Duke is ahead of us but we have a better W/L record, tougher SOS, 16-2 vs 11-12 Q1 wins. And before you say we have 4 Q4 losses they have 3. RPI makes no sense.

It's far from an exact science. It could change some as results from the west coast drop in.

I found it interesting that the SEC Tournament had a sign promoting KPI.
