Dawgs vs Va Tech

[EdwardDrayton]

Thankfully Flo Sports has upped their game.

[SaintDawg]

I was just about to start a game thread.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

This pitcher ain’t fooling us. We’ve made good contact

[EdwardDrayton]

Top half of the 1st in the books. Dawgs leave two but take the early lead 1-0.

[DawgFromOxford]

Would've liked to score the guy from third as well but 1 is better than none. Offense looks decent after the top of 1. Time for Tomas to do his thing

[SailingDawg]

Is the game on YouTube? Radio?

[Skydawg1]

No radio. I'm using the hailstate app for the "radio" broadcast.

[EdwardDrayton]

Tomas Toomuch for the Hokies in the first. Two strikeouts and a fly out.

[DeltaChicagoDog]

WFCA broadcast yesterday's game, radio and online, but not doing today's game for whatever reason. I enjoy listening to Jay and Neil, and not sure if flotown has both radio and video broadcast rights tied up?

[parabrave]

Chance and Teel having a very productive weekend/

[Tater]

Oh boy. Reese and Teel going at the same time.

[parabrave]

Go to HailState hit the audio button on the game Menu. Listening to it now. Dam Reece. The gamecast is about 45 seconds ahead of the radio broadcast.

[Skydawg1]

4-0 ACE reece 2 run blast.

[SaintDawg]

uh-oh, spaghetti-os! boom! that was a laser

[EdwardDrayton]

Ace DESTROYED that pitch.

[DeltaChicagoDog]

Go to HailState hit the audio button on the game Menu. Listening to it now. Dam Reece

Big time thanks!

[parabrave]

Who is starting tom?

[Coach34]

Reese and Stallman’s balls were just crushed. Tico consistently 95

[Coach34]

****ing drop

[EdwardDrayton]

That's just stupid filthy.

[Tater]

"He. gets. on. base."

[parabrave]

Who is warming up?

[parabrave]

We don't make that DP last year.

[Coach34]

Another baserunning mistake because we don’t teach baserunning

[Tater]

Damn I didn't even get to make the say the line Bart joke

[Coach34]

We can’t even throw the ball around after a strikeout without throwing into RF.

[Tater]

Better commentary on our fielding is that even our fans make errors.

[Tater]

Feels like we were trying to steal an inning to win tomorrow.

Oh wow a coach knowing it was time

[Tater]

Regardless if that run counts or not we need to pile on here.

[SailingDawg]

No radio. I'm using the hailstate app for the "radio" broadcast.

Thanks!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Sully with a brain dead play. He has not gotten better from last year. Bevis and Chone are better players.

Rather have Chance or Frei DH or even Ace DH to upgrade defense

[Coach34]

One thing we do coach is bunting

[somebodyshotmypaw]

6-2. Bases still loaded. Time to blow this one open.

[Tater]

Regardless if that run counts or not we need to pile on here.

Hi it's me from the future. Are you from the further future.

[Tater]

"He. gets. on. base."

Someone said that Bryce Chance is the Branden Vincent of Jake Mangums and man... I kinda agree.

[Tater]

Man if Reese could get another homer here... Let's get a 10 run rule and save some arms again.

We can play to win tomorrow / tuesday right now.

[Thick]

Am I crazy, or are we much more aggressive stealing bases and constantly applying pressure on the pitcher/catcher? I love it, but we don’t seem to be particularly fast as a team.

[Tater]

As Juan Soto for the Mets showed last year Smarts is more impactful than raw speed.

[Thick]

I thought Sweeney was fastball/hard slider. Where did this change up come from?

[The Federalist Engineer]

Sweeney was an inspired Portal pickup by Parker. I was shocked by Sweeney and the poor USC numbers but this dude is an asset.

[SaintDawg]

Now this FloSports garbage feed is screwing up

[Thick]

I thought Sweeney was fastball/hard slider. Where did this change up come from?

[DawgFromOxford]

Jacob Parker says give me more playing time!

[Thick]

Parker with a BOMB!!!!

[Tater]

Jacob Parker says give me more playing time!

From my point of view he's saying he wants less. Were in run rule territory.

[The Federalist Engineer]

This team is going to smash the MSU pinch hit HR record.

I am used to useless PH'ing and we had about 10 years of useless DH until Sully last year.

[EdwardDrayton]

"Hey Mick"

"Yeah Joe"

"He hit that a $hit ton"

"Right as rain Joe"

[Tater]

Bauer needs some more time in the oven.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Now this FloSports garbage feed is screwing up

Same thing happening to me.

[Tater]

But we are getting some good game experience for guys I just hope we don't get a cerantola level head case outta them.

Bauer taking his lumps now may mean he can contribute in post season play.

[Saltydog]

Frei shouldn't have been in the game there with the lead we had. Sanders should've been on the field. I love GF but he's going to hurt us some defensively this year. Gotta get him out late in games with a lead though.

[SaintDawg]

It’s concerning that our bullpen is giving up solo shots late in the game against these better teams. That cake dont bake in the sec.

[CaptainObvious]

State bullpen gives up way too many home runs. At some point they won?t going to be solo shots!

And Parker needs to play for Nunnallee!

[parabrave]

Get him out of there.

[Tater]

It’s concerning that our bullpen is giving up solo shots late in the game against these better teams. That cake dont bake in the sec.

We're using arms that haven't been used all year. This was Booth's first action this year

[BeardoMSU]

Uh....

[State82]

Ok. This is kinda ridiculous.

[Activated Alpha]

Just get 3 more outs guys

[The Federalist Engineer]

Booth is perfect for HR derby pitching at All Star games.

[parabrave]

Now this FloSports garbage feed is screwing up

So is Gamecast

[Tater]

So booth is a 3 batter max pitcher. Good to know and safe spot to learn how he does against good competition. Sucks to use an inning of Gleason but let's get the W.

[The Federalist Engineer]

State bullpen gives up way too many home runs. At some point they won?t going to be solo shots!

And Parker needs to play for Nunnallee!

They are using the marginal players. For experience. Now Gleason, so he is expected to end this game.

[CaptainObvious]

By the way UCLA hits HRs too.

[The Federalist Engineer]

People are going to see Bauer's 22 ERA and 400 batting average against, there won't be a Portal bidding war.

You have to invest in the development

[The Federalist Engineer]

By the way UCLA hits HRs too.

Not going to use the BP guys versus UCLA. But let hope they think Parker is going roll out Bauer and Booth in the 8th and 9th inning tomorrow

[Thick]

I’m pretty sure that we will pitch them with a “different” pitching staff. We are shuffling pitchers vs an ACC opponent up by 10-11 runs twice to kind of see where these guys might fit in during the season. We’ve never done this in a long, long time. Tomorrow will be a completely different approach.

[House33]

See ball….. hit ball……

[SailingDawg]

Homina Homina Homina !!!

[Tater]

By the way UCLA hits HRs too.

Name how many batters that Booth faced in the first 10 games. I'll give you a hint - he allowed more HRs than the answer.

Same as using Maddox Miller yesterday. Learning things about these guys. Learned Booth can melt down when faced with adversity. Learned Miller can bounce back. They are not in the top 10 in our stable.

McP
Tito
Foster
Stone
Gleason
Davis
Kirk?
Sweeney
Webb
Pitzer
Logar

------
The ones below we're trying to understand how much we can / can't use them

Miller
Billingsley
Booth
Bauer
Beliveau
Rhodes

[EdwardDrayton]

Sipping his rocks margarita as the last out is recorded, he whispered ever so softly that no one else could hear, "this team is scary 17ing good".

:)

[archdog]

Unpopular opinion, FloTV cameras and coverage is better than ESPN. Now, Flo could tell us who is at bat more often. They could give us season stats and game stats for batters and pitchers. But?. The damn cameras were nice.

It was nice to see us in 1080p resolution at a minimum.

It's a HUUUUGE improvement over what they have been in the past.

[Activated Alpha]

If we win tomorrow, the wool would be thick to epic proportions

[Tater]

Oak did not mention Foster when talking about his arms tomorrow. Davis & Stone might be the move tomorrow. Move Foster to midweek.

[99jc]

If we win tomorrow, the wool would be thick to epic proportions

And we will be ranked #1 come Monday

[Tater]

It's a HUUUUGE improvement over what they have been in the past.

MLB park has top tier cameras. I wouldn't read that as Flo is better than ESPN. Check them on even playing ground.

[EdwardDrayton]

No. Not better than ESPN. Just miles ahead of what Flo has been in the past. And that's not saying a lot because they were TERRIBLE.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Oak did not mention Foster when talking about his arms tomorrow. Davis & Stone might be the move tomorrow. Move Foster to midweek.

Foster is not ready to start versus mid-majors at home. He can't start versus SEC or ranked teams.

[mparkerfd20]

Freshmen or not, up 10 or not, I don't care. I'm sick of giving up 3-5 runs in the 8-9th innings. Hopefully that shit is over soon.

[ZedFedder]

Freshmen or not, up 10 or not, I don't care. I'm sick of giving up 3-5 runs in the 8-9th innings. Hopefully that shit is over soon.

You have to look at who is pitching. We were up 10, so there was room to trot those guys out.

[DawgFromOxford]

Freshmen or not, up 10 or not, I don't care. I'm sick of giving up 3-5 runs in the 8-9th innings. Hopefully that shit is over soon.

Of course you'd rather not give up homeruns but up that big, I'd rather give up a HR rather than a walk. Get in the game and pound the zone. If they hit it they hit.

[WSOPdawg]

Oak did not mention Foster when talking about his arms tomorrow. Davis & Stone might be the move tomorrow. Move Foster to midweek.

We're in great shape regarding the arms we have available. Hopefully aTm can work UCLA's pitching tonight while we can rely on Duke Stone with Ben Davis, Maddox Webb, Pritzer and Burns.

While it's still pre-SEC, it's been a while since I've been this excited for a game of this magnitude.

[Bdawg]

Freshmen or not, up 10 or not, I don't care. I'm sick of giving up 3-5 runs in the 8-9th innings. Hopefully that shit is over soon.

How about just just chill and enjoy the ass kicking we are putting on people and let the coaching staff figure out who they can trust down the road. Up 10 is the optimum time to experiment.

But did they have the cameras on the players parents and girlfriends for 45 minutes of the game and talk about some random stupid thing like a kid wearing a sombrero doing the 6...7 BS in the stands for 15 minutes of the game?

This is why ESPN is the superior product.*********

Nice.

[Todd4State]

Think about this. We are using freshmen pitchers in the late innings of a prestigious pre season tournament against P4 teams because we are kicking everyone's ass. Like we did against Delaware.

[Todd4State]

Freshmen or not, up 10 or not, I don't care. I'm sick of giving up 3-5 runs in the 8-9th innings. Hopefully that shit is over soon.

Personally I prefer it not stop because the whole reason it's happening in the first place is because we're about to run rule these teams.

Or talk about how LSU is the best team in the nation the entire broadcast like they do in Basketball, Kentucky, or FB, BAMA. If you really want a good broadcast get Jefferson Sports or TBS coverage. They will at least have 75% coverage of each Cheerleaders ass,

[maroonmania]

Is Andrew Raymond ok? Was he just taken out as a precaution? Was listening to the MSU broadcast and know he got hit by a Bauer fastball after it bounced up off the ground.

[Brobi-wan]

I’m not going to hate on the occasional sports MILF sighting.

[Coach34]

Stone announced starter tomorrow. LFG!!!

[Coach34]

Parker is now 4/12 with 2 bombs. He is going to be a force and will continue to push the others.

Good chance he starts against UCLA.
