Southern Miss @ State

[Lord McBuckethead]

Top of 2 - State 2, USM 1 at the moment. Runner on 2nd.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Back to back plays.
Stallman didn't know we only had one out and didn't make a throw to the plate to keep them off the board.
Next throw, catcher drops the ball and allows a clean steal.
Luckily our pitcher made some pitches and got out of it with a grounder to second. Could have just gifted them two runs.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Bud Light, like having sex in a canoe. ****ing too close to water.

[Pinto]

Stallman proves once again we are not a fundamentally sound baseball team.

[EdwardDrayton]

Stallman has a prepaid ticket on the short bus back to the dorm today.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah, that was bad. But Hines having his first good looking at bat this season a minute ago. Maybe sitting him has taught him he isn't Barry Bonds.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How the hell did Bryce get that ball out with this wind?

[EdwardDrayton]

Yeah, that was bad. But Hines having his first good looking at bat this season a minute ago. Maybe sitting him has taught him he isn't Barry Bonds.

That was a very good looking at bat by Hines. Gives us hope.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Lemonis was a bit pissed about that breakup at 2nd. Dude was going to be safe at first either way.

[GolfDawg]

To me it just looked like Stallman?s head his the fielder. Seemed in the baseline. Should that interference have been called?

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are going to get 2 more runs next half inning. Calling it.

[EdwardDrayton]

To me it just looked like Stallman?s head his the fielder. Seemed in the baseline. Should that interference have been called?

Did not seem clearly to meet the criteria for interference.

[DawgFromOxford]

Pruett struggling with strikes today

[KOdawg1]

Ross Highfill is horrible behind the plate. Like it's a win for him to just catch the ball.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Who is the as$hole that is whisting the entire dang pitch sequence?

[Lord McBuckethead]

gave up a free run due to walks.

[Coursesuper]

Ross Highfill is horrible behind the plate. Like it's a win for him to just catch the ball.

Awful

[KOdawg1]

Walks score.

Throw strikes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

My boys are going to put some runs on the board this half inning to make up for subpar fielding/pitching/catching.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Walks score.

Throw strikes.

With this wind, they should be elevating pitches. I take that back. Our pitchers would probably give up 20 line drives.

[Lord McBuckethead]

USM guy pitching up. hmmm. Don't know if I would do that to lefties.

[Lord McBuckethead]

And there we go. Ace almost took that one deep on his hands.

[EdwardDrayton]

SULLYSTACHE!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

And then Sulliven hits a 470 foot line drive shot that barely cleared the wall.

[KOdawg1]

I really like Sullivan.

[MoreCowbell]

Where can you stream it?

[DawgFromOxford]

STACHE SMASH!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Told you guys we would get 2 runs. Just felt right.

[KOdawg1]

I really like Nolan Stevens.

[EdwardDrayton]

POWER BALL AT THE DUDE!!

[Thick]

Back to back!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Maybe hines can remember to hit a single?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nope, lazy pop up. Hines just not swinging well.

[Lord McBuckethead]

ESPN app has the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We are going to get 2 more runs next half inning. Calling it.

Nailed it.

[EdwardDrayton]

Nope, lazy pop up. Hines just not swinging well.

Didn't pay off that time but still like what he's doing at the plate today.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, throw strikes. Keep the ball low. Mix speeds. Get three grounders real quick and get back to the plate.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Gosh dammit. You have to eat that one Ace.

[Lord McBuckethead]

That should be an error all the way. He could have made the play, he didn't

[Lord McBuckethead]

Nothing like a 2 bagger that bounces a total of 73 feet.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well that is two grounders. We need two more.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright, throw strikes. Keep the ball low. Mix speeds. Get three grounders real quick and get back to the plate.

Pitch is doing it so far. Don't give anything to this hitter. If anything it helps putting him on first.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How does our Right Fielder not have sunglasses on?

[Coursesuper]

How does our Right Fielder not have sunglasses on?

What? That was to harsh. Sometimes you just can?t see it.

[EdwardDrayton]

For those in the know, what is Interdisciplinary Studies as a major?

[Lord McBuckethead]

So all three of their runs are due to F ups by our players. Great. All 4 of ours are due to Homers, right?

[Lord McBuckethead]

It is basically nothing. They take a bunch of classes that add up to nothing.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Doesn't look like he was wearing sunglasses. Maybe he was, but it looked like he wasn't. Granted, the camera men at the Dude kind of suck. They never zoom in.

no idea what "Say you have not idea what you?re..." means.

[Lord McBuckethead]

8, 9 and 1 coming up.
Lead off walks usually means a run. Just can't ground it to 4 or 6.

[Lord McBuckethead]

This pitcher cannot handle someone squaring to bunt. Keep doing it.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Out of 9 pitches, that guy threw only one strike. Nice. What an outing.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How the heck was Cheese not going to send Cupp? You make them make a play.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn, that was a sneaky good bunt by Chance.

[BeardoMSU]

I wish every inning was like this, lol.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I hope they are scared of Hines, because he is really really really due.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I wish every inning was like this, lol.

All simple non-selfish plate appearances.
How did that guy not throw out Hines at first.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Second baseman scared of our guy on 3rd.
You almost have to PH for Highfill.

[KOdawg1]

Run rule their ass

[DawgFromOxford]

Hines with a missile to 2nd that the guy drops. Hines safe at first. Whatever it takes to get him going

[Lord McBuckethead]

We should have pitch hit, but instead he drives the ball deep to shortstop.

[KOdawg1]

Highfill is unplayable rn

[Lord McBuckethead]

Solid inning.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Highfill is unplayable rn

I have no idea who else we have, but it cannot be worse than a guy that cannot throw out anyone and cannot hit.

[DawgFromOxford]

Bases loaded 1 out... and Highfill pops out to short stop and then we K. Unbelievable

[Lord McBuckethead]

I mean, Highfill used to hit pretty dang good when he was driving the ball. Now he is upper cutting everything and guessing. Like Hines. ARe they roommates?

[Lord McBuckethead]

I feel like Ace is about to have a solid at bat.

[Lord McBuckethead]

We should have sent Chance on the second pitch.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I feel like Ace is about to have a solid at bat.

And there we are. Nice double.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I feel like Sullivan is going to drive him home. As I typed that, he did.

[EdwardDrayton]

Noah Sullivan have yourself a day!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

I don't believe Stevens is going to get on.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Noah Sullivan have yourself a day!!!!

4-4. Solid approach all day.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I don't believe Stevens is going to get on.

Well technically he didn't reach, he cleared. He just smoked it out.

[EdwardDrayton]

Starting to feel like we're settling in as a team.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Damn, can someone do some soft toss with Hines?

[Lord McBuckethead]

No lower body. Stiff arms. Looks like he isn't sure if he is a bull or a milk cow. Dude, Hines stop banging fat chicks.

[Lord McBuckethead]

In all seriousness though. No pitcher should ever throw anything inner half and flat to Hines. Curves outer half of the plate. Guaranteed out if you get it within 6 inches of the plate.

He will not stay inside of the pitch and he definitely will not hit the ball to left field. every swing is weak sauce or a roll over grounder.

[Brobi-wan]

Absolutely shelling USM at the moment. To take one off another thread, can?t wait for the ?we?re not who we say we are.? People to show up after the next loss.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How many pitchers did they bring?

[Lord McBuckethead]

They can't have more than like 3ks for the game.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Both teams only have 3 ks

[EdwardDrayton]

Fire up the coals. It's mustard buzzard for dinner.

[Lord McBuckethead]

TURNING INTO WHAT ALL OF GAMES SHOULD BE. WE NEED 20 RUNS. KEEP ADDING THEM.

[Lord McBuckethead]

dude is scared of O'brian. Nice.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Man. Wonder if Hines can hit into a double play?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hines should own this Freshman pitcher like the boss he should be.
We will see.

[Lord McBuckethead]

first pitch, late and uppercut swing. foul.

[Ranchdawg]

Finally put a game out of reach! Something that should’ve happened earlier this year.

And USM is not the 20th best team in country! We should never ever play them in Hburg! Period!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Late on the second. Dropped in foul territory by the 3b. Hines given a gift.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Solid at bat by Hines. He looks like he is trying to be patient.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hines needs as many at bats as possible. Can we hit around again to get him another plate appearance?

[DawgFromOxford]

Solid at bat by Hines. He looks like he is trying to be patient.

Kind of. He still rolled it over to 2nd they just weren?t set up in the shift. But a hits a hit so we?ll take it

[KOdawg1]

This fanbase needed a night like tonight

[Lord McBuckethead]

Some guy just yelled, "I love you!" No idea why.

[Lord McBuckethead]

He didn't roll over it. He hit it pretty solid, but yeah the shift on he is out.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Step on their throats.

[Lord McBuckethead]

I have to leave the office now. hopefully they can hold it together for the W.
I kind of wanted 20 runs.

[EdwardDrayton]

A very impressive win over a top twenty team. Well done Dawgs.

[MoreCowbell]

Talk about a bounce back game

[Activated Alpha]

I totally forgot the game was tonight. So this leads me to a theory. I'll try it out again next time we have a big game coming up. Hope we don't need any help to sweep Queens because I love to watch baseball on the weekends....

[basedog]

I totally agree about not playing Usm in Hattiesburg.

[Todd4State]

Best offensive performance of the year. Polar opposite of Hattiesburg. I just wish Pruitt had pitched a little bit better. I wanted to see him pitch like he did against Troy. I know we made some mistakes that didn't help him to say the least.

Will be interesting to see what we do with the rotation this weekend but based on tonight I think we should let Pruitt pitch against Old Dominion next week to see how it goes.

We did manage the pitching staff much better.

Good day to be adapt. Lady Dawgs are putting whupping on Missouri.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Needed that win bad

[Coach34]

Keep telling ya'll this team is gonna hit

[bigbub50]

From hence forth, I expect every game to be like this moving forward.

[Coach34]

From hence forth, I expect every game to be like this moving forward.

ya'll expected that before today

[cheewgumm]

Just finishing up the game.

That was FANTASTIC!!

[Pancho]

this is what we should do to weak pitching in the mid week

[Lord McBuckethead]

Exactly. All midweek and Sunday games should be batting practice. Wait and drive.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We needed to hate-beat someone nice it was an instate school that D1 decided to rank.

Picking up Stallman from Campbell as a 230 hitter was very good scouting. Great hitting day.

Pruitt needing 67 pitches for less than 4 innings not super crisp.

There was a dude whistling in the stands. Should have been tossed
