Tallahassee Regional: MSU vs NE

[EdwardDrayton]

Play ball. Finally.

[Thick]

Three up three down?.these announcers are blowing NE!

[Tater]

that was not very softball lineup in softball field of us

[maroonmania]

Three up three down?.these announcers are blowing NE!

Yep, just listening I don't see how we even stand a chance.

[EdwardDrayton]

Three up three down?.these announcers are blowing NE!

Just take care of business and that will shut their blowholes.

[maroonmania]

I really don't get the Ben Davis start. I hope it works out.

[EdwardDrayton]

I really don't get the Ben Davis start. I hope it works out.

Have not been a fan of this pitching nonsense. But, yes, hope it works out.

[maroonmania]

Dang, Ace Reese looked like he was playing shallow left field.

[msstate7]

lol, we gonna get our butts kicked for not taking them serious

[Coursesuper]

Walks score

[maroonmania]

I don't think this pitching matchup is going to work out well.

[maroonmania]

Walks score

Yep, they get a run on one legitimate single.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Just survive this early rush of adrenaline from them and we will be fine. We also probably will have a delay at some point. It is very good we got this one going so the delay could run their starter as well.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I don't think this pitching matchup is going to work out well.

We will be fine. They have no power. Power will win in this stadium.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ok Hines, BE SMART

Edit: It’s like he does not even try to be competitive

[maroonmania]

Hines swinging out of his shoes.

[Saltydog]

Hunter continues to break records..........The all time K king at MSU..........

[Coursesuper]

What a non competitive at bat.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hines swinging out of his shoes.

I am past ready for him to not be in our program any longer. It is an almost auto out at this point.

[State82]

I am past ready for him to not be in our program any longer. It is an almost auto out at this point.

Especially against a southpaw.

[maroonmania]

Powell with the clutch double!! :)

[StarkVegasSteve]

Joe 17 Powell. The Damn Fireman

[maroonmania]

Sanders!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Sub 2 ERA my ass. Run this bum!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Shuttin' the blowholes. Good guys 3-1.

[Travelingdawg]

He?s already at 46 pitches.
Good inning!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Davis just threw 3 strikes and this idiot called them all balls.

[Saltydog]

Need to get outta this jam. Davis is not sharp at all tonight. He's throwing a lot of pitches too.

[maroonmania]

Defense a constant issue with this team.

[State82]

Walk these guys and they will score. Simple as that.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Defense a constant issue with this team.

We just are not very good at it. Lemonis leaving did not change that.

[magrooder]

Defense a constant issue with this team.

We have zero range up the middle

[maroonmania]

Need to get outta this jam. Davis is not sharp at all tonight. He's throwing a lot of pitches too.

Yep, probably going to end up using a lot of bullpen arms tonight.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Need to get outta this jam. Davis is not sharp at all tonight. He's throwing a lot of pitches too.

Well he is going to need to give us 5. I imagine we hoped that he would be at about 75 at that point and he may be at 95 or 105.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Huge to get out of that one.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

[maroonmania]

Well, could have been worse I guess. But they have 2 runs on one hit that left the infield.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well, could have been worse I guess. But they have 2 runs on one hit that left the infield.

I mean we have only had 2 leave the infield and we have 3 runs

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ace needs to find one right here. This guy is teetering on the brink of a collapse.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hines try not to suck.

[maroonmania]

Oh no, what a time for Hines to come up.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I will take it. Drove in the run.

[maroonmania]

Hines hit it well. Chance with a double!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Guys this Brian Chance guy is pretty good. Where has he been all year?

[maroonmania]

This umpire will run up a pitch count because he doesn't give the pitcher anything.

[EdwardDrayton]

BOOM!!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Holy shit!!!! FIREMAN!!!! FFFFFFIREMAN!!!!!

[maroonmania]

Powell again!!

[msstate7]

lol, we gonna get our butts kicked for not taking them serious

Good call, DA

[EdwardDrayton]

What a turn at the plate this season for Joe. Amazing.

[Activated Alpha]

What a turn at the plate this season for Joe. Amazing.

I think you gotta give Geaut credit for him

[StarkVegasSteve]

Good call, DA

You know 7 I will give it to you, you call yourself out if you are wrong

[EdwardDrayton]

Good call, DA

Easy on yourself 7. Looks like we're gonna take the pitching decision off the table with our bats.

[msstate7]

You know 7 I will give it to you, you call yourself out if you are wrong

Nothing makes me happier than to be wrong when it means state succeeds

[Coursesuper]

What a turn at the plate this season for Joe. Amazing.

Just think if he would have had the start from the beginning.

[EdwardDrayton]

I think you gotta give Geaut credit for him

Maybe. Some have said Joe just needed more ABs. I'll leave it to those who are closer to it to make that call.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Now we need for Davis to have a clean inning and begin to kill their spirit.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Well Reeves leaving is less than optimal. Buckner needs to step up.

[Activated Alpha]

Did anyone see what happened with Ace?

[maroonmania]

Reeves? What happened there?

[EdwardDrayton]

What happened to Ace??!!??

[The Federalist Engineer]

What the heck? Ace Reece comes off?

[maroonmania]

If Davis can just throw strikes we should be good. But that's easier said than done.

[StarkVegasSteve]

What the heck? Ace Reece comes off?

It was REEVES not REESE

[maroonmania]

Is Dylan Cupp even still on the team??

[Activated Alpha]

It was REEVES not REESE

Oh he was over by 3rd base getting evaluated so I thought it was Ace

[Pedrioa is King]

Was he limping? What?

[The Federalist Engineer]

It was REEVES not REESE

Less Bad but still bad. No contact on video. Just tweeked something?

Cupp still on the roster?

[No BS Dawg]

He fielded the grounder from Hines and looked like he pulled up gimpy. Favoring his lower back/hip area it appeared.

[Coursesuper]

Is Dylan Cupp even still on the team??

Must not have made the roster, you would have expect him to transfer.

[EdwardDrayton]

It was REEVES not REESE

It was Sawyer??!!?? What happened???

[Mjoelner34]

Don't know what happened but the way he walked to the dugout is how I walk when my sciatica is acting up or when I'm about to crap my pants.

[EdwardDrayton]

JP says it's Sawyer's back. Just locked up on him. Hopefully just muscle spasms and he'll be OK.

[maroonmania]

Less Bad but still bad. No contact on video. Just tweeked something?

Cupp still on the roster?

Yep, there was no contact. Is Cupp still around was my question as well? Don't remember the last time Buckner played.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Ace looks like he is pressing a bit right now.

[StarkVegasSteve]

In other regionals: St. Mary’s 6 Oregon St 4 Top 8

[BankerDog]

Must not have made the roster, you would have expect him to transfer.

He went home last night because his dad was in a really bad car wreck.

[Coursesuper]

He went home last night because his dad was in a really bad car wreck.

10-4

[StarkVegasSteve]

Another clean inning from Davis. Skated around some trouble but a really solid start for him tonight so far.

[EdwardDrayton]

Ben's bled the adrenaline. Smooth as silk now.

[Thick]

This is not his best night either. He?s not ?on? tonight.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need to keep our foot on the accelerator. We do not need to give them any sort of confidence. This kid is better than the guy who started.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Brian Chance baby!!!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Ben starting to show a little fatigue. Short leash now.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Another solid inning from Davis. Be very interesting to see what we do with him in the 6th.

[The Federalist Engineer]

He went home last night because his dad was in a really bad car wreck.

Dang sad

[maroonmania]

He went home last night because his dad was in a really bad car wreck.

Oh goodness, sorry to hear that. Now even more important that Reeves be available tomorrow.

[maroonmania]

Boy, this pitcher is mowing us down. Glad he didn't start the game.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need to get the bats going. This kid has really stymied us. And yes it is weird saying that up 7-2 but our bullpen has been an adventure all year so my confidence still is not high.

[Quaoarsking]

Update: The 3 and 4 seeds won in the corresponding regional

[Saltydog]

Surprised we're bringing in McPherson. Figured we would save him for tomorrow.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Here comes McPherson. Hope this is better than Hoover.

[Quaoarsking]

Hope he can go the rest of the way, 4 solid innings.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hope he can go the rest of the way, 4 solid innings.

Yea we really need him to finish this out. Only using 2 arms would be HUGE.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Huge performance from Ben Davis - now MSU has a weekend rotation to win this regional - McP looking good

[StarkVegasSteve]

Great inning.

[maroonmania]

RM looked good in that inning.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Boy, this pitcher is mowing us down. Glad he didn't start the game.

Need to tag him. Get some runs scored. Keep this breezy for McP

[Coursesuper]

Here comes McPherson. Hope this is better than Hoover.

Defense put him in a bad spot over there.

[Brobi-wan]

USM getting slammed

[DownwardDawg]

Great inning.

Wow. Really was a great inning.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Had they started this kid we would have been in some trouble.

[maroonmania]

Had they started this kid we would have been in some trouble.

Yep, our offense looks pitiful at the moment.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Yep, our offense looks pitiful at the moment.

Ace is really struggling. He needs to get this out of him tonight. We need him full tilt tomorrow

[Mjoelner34]

The Fighting Lou Gherig's are about to take out the Buzzards. Up 11-4 in top of the 9th.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Sullivan has had some great ABs tonight.

[StarkVegasSteve]

And……here comes a K

[parabrave]

Dam good AB by Sullivan. 11 pitches.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Need another clean inning from McPherson. A quick one like last time would be ideal.

[Coursesuper]

Sullivan has had some great ABs tonight.

Most mature hitter on the team, fantastic approach.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Note on the FSU pitcher - he seems to have struggled biggly lately

9 Runs in the last 10 innings - two games that he did not get past the 5th.

versus plus opponents, only one good start. Duke, UNC, Notre Dame Dame, and Miami tagged him

[CarolinaDawgs]

Not another team in the country has the numbers 52 an 49 playing up the middle. Damn spring training lol

[Mjoelner34]

Damn what an inning!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Hell of an inning from Ryan. Clean inning and quick inning.

[maroonmania]

Game moving along briskly. No score change since the 3rd.

[maroonmania]

Columbia skulldragging USM 11-4 in the 9th. Confederates down by 1 to Murray St. in the 8th.

[Cowbell]

If one of you is at the game, please buy this pitcher a coke and a bus ticket to Starkville

Seeing kids like this every year makes me wonder what the heck we are doing with kids on the roster who cant throw strikes

[StarkVegasSteve]

Great job by Ross right there. Now Gatlin needs to come through

[StarkVegasSteve]

GET. THE. GAT.

[parabrave]

Big hit by Sanders.

[EdwardDrayton]

Highfill gots some motor in dem feets.

[EdwardDrayton]

Jobu take fear from bats.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I know we are up 7-2 but that really felt like an insurance run to stretch it to 8-2

[maroonmania]

Big hit by Sanders.

Who would have ever thought that Sanders and Powell would give us the offense they have this year??

[maroonmania]

Down goes USM. OM has 3 outs left down by a run.

[Cowbell]

Someone remind me of Powell's eligibility again (I can't believe I'm asking this)

[DownwardDawg]

I know we are up 7-2 but that really felt like an insurance run to stretch it to 8-2

I agree! I wanted that 8th run bad!!

[parabrave]

Get the pen warmed up/

[StarkVegasSteve]

Someone remind me of Powell's eligibility again (I can't believe I'm asking this)

He is out after this year.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Get him out. He has lost it.

[maroonmania]

Man, all of a sudden RM has lost the strike zone.

[Quaoarsking]

He is out after this year.

He needs to sue for another.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We have skirted pressure a few times tonight. That felt like the latest time.

[Mjoelner34]

Blackbears down 9-6 top of the 9th

[maroonmania]

3 more outs!

[parabrave]

Someone was looking down on Mac on that out,.

[Cowbell]

Blackbears down 9-6 top of the 9th

Is science going to allow this much fun in 48 hours.?

[Tater]

Racers up 9-6 on Oxfart Douchebros. Ducks up 4-2 on Hoe Miss. USM lost. State 3 outs from a win with a weekday starter

What a ****in day to be a dawg.

[maroonmania]

Wow, nice bunt by Buckner for a hit.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Good job Buckner. Now find it Ace!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Buckner pretty fair handling a bat.

[StarkVegasSteve]

We need Ace to flush this. We need old Ace tomorrow.

[EdwardDrayton]

SULLYSTACHE!!!!!

[parabrave]

Big hit Sullivan.

[DownwardDawg]

Hellova batter.

[StarkVegasSteve]

I would be lying if I said I didn’t expect us to do this. Northeastern is just like Fairfield 5-6 years ago. Smoke and mirrors.

[EdwardDrayton]

I would be lying if I said I didn’t expect us to do this. Northeastern is just like Fairfield 5-6 years ago. Smoke and mirrors.

Somebody shoulda told the a$$wipe broadcast crew. Sheesh.

[Coursesuper]

Down go the confederates.

[Tater]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

what a day to be a dawg

[Saltydog]

Love it.........They left the bases loaded......

[DEDawg]

Ole Miss taking that L good night

[maroonmania]

Down go the confederates.

Bases loaded 2 outs and they popped up to end it. :)

[Cowbell]

He is out after this year.

Thank you sir

[EdwardDrayton]

Hotty Toddy m'17ers. *****

LOL!!!

[StarkVegasSteve]

Somebody shoulda told the a$$wipe broadcast crew. Sheesh.

Someone should have told the a$$wipe D1 baseball crew as well who has sucked their you know what the entire season on how good they are.

[parabrave]

So the SEC 2nd place team goes down tonight!!

[EdwardDrayton]

27 game win streak my a$$.

[EdwardDrayton]

Someone should have told the a$$wipe D1 baseball crew as well who has sucked their you know what the entire season on how good they are.

LOL!!!

[EdwardDrayton]

Baseball is fun again.

[EdwardDrayton]

Dawgs!

[parabrave]

Great Job McPherson,

[maroonmania]

Good day of baseball all the way around!

[Cowbell]

Kudos to Parker for starting Davis. Freaking nutted up!

[DownwardDawg]

Baseball is fun again.

Very

[DownwardDawg]

Kudos to Parker for starting Davis. Freaking nutted up!

I agree. Power move. He threw them on the table.

[EdwardDrayton]

Kudos to Parker for starting Davis. Freaking nutted up!

Thirteen hits and eleven runs gave Ben a rocking chair from which to pitch. Props to the bats for carrying the night.

[Cowbell]

Thirteen hits and eleven runs gave Ben a rocking chair from which to pitch. Props to the bats for carrying the night.

Giving up 5 hits through 9 innings says otherwise Edward

[Todd4State]

I agree. Power move. He threw them on the table.

I loved it! Now we're set-up to throw Pico and Siary.

All we need it Pico to have the game of his life.

[Todd4State]

I would be lying if I said I didn?t expect us to do this. Northeastern is just like Fairfield 5-6 years ago. Smoke and mirrors.

YEP!

[Todd4State]

Someone should have told the a$$wipe D1 baseball crew as well who has sucked their you know what the entire season on how good they are.

Grow the game.**

[Turfdawg67]

Good call, DA

Way to put that DA in his place, MS7!

[mparkerfd20]

Hear Pico out for season. Requires surgery. Oh well for the dream.
