Lets go Murray State Lets go

[parabrave]

Racers up 5-1 BTM of 3rd. Hope you got some semi fresh arms in the Pen.

[Turfdawg67]

Don't jinx it!!

[DownwardDawg]

I just don't see them beating Mississippi.
The rebs will probably end up in Omaha. They had a cakewalk of a regional.

[ZedFedder]

5-3 now.

[ZedFedder]

9-3 Murray State

[Tater]

When MSU beats OM I'm happy.

But this is a game to 20 imo.

[EdwardDrayton]

LET'S GO RACERS!!!

[parabrave]

Well MUSTATEs 3rd base coach has a big set of marbles.

[Tater]

Announcers are correct. This is the highest leverage moment of the game. If MSU can get through this half inning still up 5 or more runs, then it's sitting pretty.

[EdwardDrayton]

Today I'm a Murray State fan. Where the hell is Murray State??!!??

[Tater]

Today I'm a Murray State fan. Where the hell is Murray State??!!??

West Kentucky. In the town of Murray. Their football stadium is quite interesting from the road. One half of a grandstand and kind of a towering view down at ya. Drove through there when I was doing a road trip from Starkville to Evansville Indiana a few weeks ago.

[Turfdawg67]

Didn't their bball coach have ties to State and there were rumors we might offer him after a good run in the Tourney? A few years back...

[EdwardDrayton]

That must have been farther to the west of us when we went to the Indy500 last year.

[Tater]

Hate to break it to ya but that was more than a few years back. Mcdonald was fired in like 2014 from Murray State lol

[parabrave]

Dam Gut telling me the the rebs will pull this one out of their ass/

[EdwardDrayton]

Dem Swayze fans startin' to 'pucker up' a bit!!

[Tater]

That must have been farther to the west of us when we went to the Indy500 last year.

Depends which way you went. Did you go Nashville / Louisville way (likely if you did I-40)? Or did you go Evansville / Bloomington way?

[EdwardDrayton]

Dam Gut telling me the the rebs will pull this one out of their ass/

Maybe. But even the best start to tighten up and try to do too much down seven in the 7th.

[Tater]

Dam Gut telling me the the rebs will pull this one out of their ass/

Nah I'm feeling really good after shutting out the 1-2-3-4 in their lineup in bottom 6. That long fly out to center that pretty boy 2 hole hitter watched was demoralizing to them.

[EdwardDrayton]

Depends which way you went. Did you go Nashville / Louisville way (likely if you did I-40)? Or did you go Evansville / Bloomington way?

Nashville Louisville

[Tater]

Nashville Louisville

Then yea that's west of ya. Probably easier roads. ****in Lexington, TN was annoying to drive through.

[BeardoMSU]

Lolz. Hate to see it

[EdwardDrayton]

Racers pouring it on!!!!

[Tater]

Lolz. Hate to see it

But even more than that. Ya love to see it

[CaptainObvious]

What will Bianca's Retirement Speech be like? You know since State fired Lemonis and hired O'Connor the Bearsharks aren't going to stand for losing to Murray State. 12 runs on 19 hits. MSU has only walked once and has hit zero home runs but has 12 runs! Wawawawa

12 runs on 19 hits so far

[Turfdawg67]

Sorry, basketball coach.

[EdwardDrayton]

Lil Mikey looks like he'd rather be somewhere else. Ya know, like Thailand, where he could feel tall. *****

[Tater]

Sorry, basketball coach.

Pretty sure it was baseball. He was a GA under Polk. I don't remember any Murray State basketball coach this century having ties to us.

[Tater]

Schutte is out of gas. Gotta get him and negotiate 8 more outs.

[EdwardDrayton]

You have one job with a nine run lead. Throw strikes.

[Tater]

You have one job with a nine run lead. Throw strikes.

Kid threw 119 pitches friday night and then 40 today with 5 Ks. He's done more than his fair share. Coach tried to steal two more outs against the 8/9

Need a guy to get a double play ground ball here.

[Tater]

welp this was the wrong kid to put in

[EdwardDrayton]

Aaaack!!!

[Tater]

take the ****in glasses off four eyes

[EdwardDrayton]

And they leave him in. Wow.

[EdwardDrayton]

He must really not like what he has left in the pen.

[BeardoMSU]

I hate walks more than I love HRs....

[Activated Alpha]

This is where Murray St loses this game

[StateDawg44]

Yeah this is rough. Really need this pitcher to come in and throw strikes.

[Coursesuper]

I hate walks more than I love HRs....

Walks are killers, can catch em.

[EdwardDrayton]

Unbelievable

[Tater]

Yea. 20 was the number to feel safe. Didn't break it open enough unfortunately.

[EdwardDrayton]

Stuck your pu$$y a$$ elbow out there. Get your pu$$y a$$ self back in the box.

[Activated Alpha]

He stuck his arm out so obviously should be a strike, but they should just accept it and put him on base. Dude is going to jack a 3 run HR in this at bat. You can just sense it

[Coursesuper]

This should be 0-1.

[msudawg1200]

Murray State is out of pitching. They are finished.

Glad I was wrong

[EdwardDrayton]

Glad I was wrong

Amen to that brother. Still another long six outs to go though.

[Tater]

Momentum shifted back a little with the challenge. Need to get a few more runs here in top 8th to quell this crowd

[Tater]

Murray State is out of pitching. They are finished.

OM is about out too. 20 is the. number.

[CaptainObvious]

If you are going to host a regional in Oxford, please ask the cameramen not to embarrass out STATE with the crowd shots of all the shirtless bubbas and their sister dates! My goodness!

LOL!!!

[Tater]

All of a sudden the zone expands.

[Coursesuper]

Wide plate for the Confederates

[CaptainObvious]

Fawley stole 2 strikes for them on the second batter.

[Tater]

6-7-8 coming up. Gotta hold them scoreless here. Hopefully the zone stays tall and wide.

[Coursesuper]

Fawley stole 2 strikes for them on the second batter.

Yes he did

[Tater]

this kid's curveball is cooked

[Coursesuper]

Eduardo Perez is just awful.

[BeardoMSU]

Walkssssss!!!

Please God, a dp.

[BeardoMSU]

Thanks for answering my prayer, God****

[Tater]

yep

[Activated Alpha]

3 run HR to the 9 hole hitter? Yeah OM will host Duke

[EdwardDrayton]

Dam Gut telling me the the rebs will pull this one out of their ass/

I blame para for this debacle. ***** :)

[DownwardDawg]

3 run HR to the 9 hole hitter? Yeah OM will host Duke

When I saw their regional, I figured they would make the CWS.

[Coursesuper]

When I saw their regional, I figured they would make the CWS.

Duke won a good regional in a tough park.

[Thick]

Why is he not bringing in the lefty closer? This is some MSU pitching shit here!

[EdwardDrayton]

From a different perspective, Murray State setting it up to crush their Webel soul. *****

[Quaoarsking]

1 more inning to go!

[mparkerfd20]

Murray needs about 8 runs to ice it. Think they are out of pitching

[CaptainObvious]

12 isnt going to win it. Murray out if pitching.

[Tater]

Murray needs about 8 runs to ice it. Think they are out of pitching

Yep. Need to get to 20 in the top of the 9th here. Top of the order up. Let's get some insurance.

[EdwardDrayton]

Murray needs about 8 runs to ice it. Think they are out of pitching

Not sure I'd bet it even with eight more. But the dude seems to have found a decent hook to get three more outs.

[msstate7]

Is Elliott a pro prospect?

[HoopsDawg]

Is Elliott a pro prospect?

Yes. This is ridiculous

[Tater]

Bianco does not care about kid's arms. Don't know how any parent could want their kid to go there and pitch.

[msstate7]

Yes. This is ridiculous

Just reckless. I would have a damn fit if I were Elliott's dad

[msstate7]

If OM were to get 1 run, I wonder how many Bianco would let him throw.

[Tater]

I know it's tempting because it looks like he randomly found his curve and changeup, but I just can't go back to that kid. He gave you everything he had.

[Tater]

coaching malpractice

[msstate7]

coaching malpractice

I doubt he has any options

[Tater]

there's that expanded zone. good shit on consistency

[Tater]

I doubt he has any options

they had someone warming up.

[EdwardDrayton]

Soul crushing! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Tooty Hooty!!!! LOL!!!

[Tater]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT LETS ****ING GO

[Coursesuper]

That’s the best way possible!!!

[Quaoarsking]

Wow, that pitcher really nutted up when it mattered.

[CaptainObvious]

Dude gutted it out!

[Activated Alpha]

**** yeah!! Don't listen to me. Om ain't hosting shit

[Mjoelner34]

Will they fire a #10 National Seed coach who hosted a regional and made it to the regional final? LOL

[No BS Dawg]

OM will now try to get Duke to play the super in Oxford so they can still say they are hosting a super regional.

[Vandownbytheriver]

That kid willed that last inning. Got to love a bunch of misfits going in and taking 2 out of 3 from the “best offense in college baseball.” Now let’s go UALR and Miami!

[Turfdawg67]

Pretty sure it was baseball. He was a GA under Polk. I don't remember any Murray State basketball coach this century having ties to us.

No, it was definitely basketball. I don't get those two sports mixed up very often... I'm guessing it wasn't Murray State, some team with a similar name? Millsaps? Anywho, doesn't matter, 17 Old Miss!

[Tater]

If OM were to get 1 run, I wonder how many Bianco would let him throw.

Same. And their logo is pretty badass. Reminds me a lot of the Fresno State team that won it all a few years back. Only way those kids all play this well is in that particular group together. And who the hell doesn’t love an underdog? Even being in the SEC, the damn cock stroking by the media before the tournament was a little overboard.

[Cowbell]

I will personally donate to getting that rebel killer to come pitch here next year!

Lol!

[Todd4State]

Is Elliott a pro prospect?

He'll get drafted. Not sure that he will make it to MLB though. He seems more like a relief pitcher prospect to me with his arm angle and clutch gene. The arm injuries and age concern me.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Will they fire a #10 National Seed coach who hosted a regional and made it to the regional final? LOL

How can you fire a coach that made a Regional Final?

That's outrageous!

Had they just found a way to keep Mendes, Doyle, Fischer, Saunier, and JT Quinn they would probably Omaha favorites right now. This game is evil.

The kid that looks hapless today is the dude that ends up solid or the top-overall draft pick some other place.

[DownwardDawg]

[fieldcorporal]

Hate to break it to ya but that was more than a few years back. Mcdonald was fired in like 2014 from Murray State lol


Ron Greene, Murray st grad, coached basketball here after kermit, before Hatfield. He was SEC coach of the year in his only year at Miss State. 1977-78 I think.

He left to return to Murray st.

Bob Tyler was the main reason he left.

[Mjoelner34]

While the students are still in the outfield, maybe they can get them to help take down their club-level wedding tent in the outfield that is 500 feet from home plate.

[BeardoMSU]

Gotta spread some rep. Well done, Todd.

Still not who I'm thinking. This guy coached a Cinderella into the Sweet 16, and was a hot name when, I think, we were looking for a coach. Man... sucks I can't remember. Right before Jans... oh well.

ETA... McMahon??

[Todd4State]

Well done Todd!!

You can't and that's why it's hilarious. I guarantee you that over 50% of their fans want him gone and you can't do it now.

Steve Prohm was the hot coaching name back in the mid 2010's. Bama graduate and everyone thought he'd end up there. He was a name mentioned for us after Rick Ray when we ended up hiring Howland. He went to Iowa State. Ended up getting fired there, and now is back at Murray.

[Turfdawg67]

Shaheen Holloway with St. Peter's beat McMahon. Murray State has never made the Sweet 16.

It was McMahon...

Another name that was mentioned as a potential replacement was Matt McMahon, the coach at Murray State at the time. Sports Illustrated reported that McMahon was considered a strong candidate, particularly for his success at Murray State.

I?m glad we hired Jans instead. He is most likely on his way out at LSU next year
