[KOdawg1]

1. CF Aidan Teel
2. 3B Ace Reese
3. DH Noah Sullivan
4. 1B Reed Stallman
5. 2B Gehrig Frei
6. SS Ryder Woodson
7. RF Jacob Parker
8. C Kevin MIlewski
9. LF Bryce Chance

[KOdawg1]

Tico on the bump. Need him to eat some innings tonight after using all our best arms last night.

[KOdawg1]

Efficient inning.

1-2-3 with 2 Ks. Only 14 pitches.

[parabrave]

Big hit by Sully/

[parabrave]

Come on guys/

[maroonmania]

Ground rule double screws us over again. I said as soon as that ball hopped over the wall we wouldn't score. Reese and Stallman both let very hittable pitches strike them out looking. Our offense is struggling in SEC play. No other way to put it.

[KOdawg1]

That was an absolutely pathetic AB by Stallman.

Runners on 2nd and 3rd and all you have to do is put the ball in play.

[maroonmania]

Yep, if Frei's AB had been with one out we would have at least scored one.

Can't disagree with you/

[maroonmania]

TV looking sharp so far.

[Cowbell]

I'm definately beginning to question our hitting coach now that we are facing quality pitching

[KOdawg1]

2 innings in a row where he's had a leadoff walk.

Punish them for it.

[Bdawg]

Heck of a bunt that I didn?t like! Ha

[parabrave]

And he can bunt.

[KOdawg1]

I didn't have 6'5 Kevin Milewski having a bunt single on my bingo card tonight

[parabrave]

Now it's time for Reese to hit a long out. Dammit Chance keep the ball off the ground Well right idea bad execution.

[KOdawg1]

There you go Teel

[parabrave]

There you go Ace.

[parabrave]

Good situat hit Reed.

[Coach34]

Gonna get in their pen early tonight

[maroonmania]

Gonna get in their pen early tonight

Yep, we need to because once it gets to ours who knows what will happen. Used most of our best bullets last night. Got 4 but wish we could have gotten one more big hit to get 6 or 7. Woodson certainly hit it hard enough but, as usual, our luck has it go right to the 3rd baseman.

[maroonmania]

TV actually looks like our Friday night ace pitching on Saturdays.

[KOdawg1]

Exactly what you need after a big inning.

10 pitches. 3 Ks.

[SaintDawg]

TV is dealing

[Tater]

We need to stop scheduling these RPI killing 190+ small southern schools. Need to play against real competition.

[maroonmania]

Guess we should have bunted Milewski again.

[KOdawg1]

Gonna get in their pen early tonight

Good. Will only help us tomorrow.

[maroonmania]

Goodness, an error and a passed ball gives Vandy a man in scoring position with no outs.

[Coach34]

TV actually looks like our Friday night ace pitching on Saturdays.

We have 2 #1's

Hopefully the other one is not really hurt

[maroonmania]

Afraid 4 runs is not going to do it tonight. Error to open the 4th leads to 2 Vandy runs.

[Coach34]

cmon Parker- stop going so breaking ball heavy.

[maroonmania]

Seems as if you keep the ball up on Reese he has a lot of trouble with it. Its the lower pitches that he hits well.

[maroonmania]

Way to go Sully!

[maroonmania]

8 pitch inning for TV. We needed that.

[HoopsDawg]

cmon Parker- stop going so breaking ball heavy.

Amen

[KOdawg1]

Beans has popped up twice tonight with RISP.

Not like him at all.

[maroonmania]

We have 5 runs but we've wasted a ton of opportunities to have more like 8 or 9 runs.

[99jc]

that inning was on BOC that was just stupid to have a home run hitter bunting again we got lucky on the first bunt he needs to quit overthinking and let the man hit.

[mparkerfd20]

Tomas is just filthy tonight

[EdwardDrayton]

TV feelin' it big.

[99jc]

cmon Parker- stop going so breaking ball heavy.

5 strikeouts in a row I think not!

[SaintDawg]

TV is dragging his nuts all over that mound. Damn it!

[R2Dawg]

Tomas is just nasty.

Get Mcpherson back and I like our chances to make a deep run.

[KOdawg1]

His slider has been filthy tonight.

Let him start the 7th.

[Activated Alpha]

Need more runs Dawgs. This is the worst Vandy pitching in a long time

[maroonmania]

Our offense continues to muddle along without doing anything. I have no confidence that 5 runs will hold up once we have to go to the bullpen.

[EdwardDrayton]

His slider has been filthy tonight.

Let him start the 7th.

Yep. Then go get him. He deserves the ovation he's gonna get.

[Coach34]

5 strikeouts in a row I think not!

Didnt say stop throwing it. But 9 times in 11 pitches causing him to lose location with his FB giving up 2 runs was bad pitch calling

[maroonmania]

Need more runs Dawgs. This is the worst Vandy pitching in a long time

Yep, I had thought we were going to be able to lean on our offense. Apparently I was wrong.

[Coach34]

Our offense continues to muddle along without doing anything. I have no confidence that 5 runs will hold up once we have to go to the bullpen.

got a couple guys in a funk and its killing innings

[mparkerfd20]

7ks in a row. Dammn

[Coach34]

What a great outing....

[maroonmania]

He's at 103 pitches. Does he go out in the 8th? Not even sure who we be first out of the pen tonight?

[EdwardDrayton]

Damn. He is killin' it.

[Leroy Jenkins]

He's just dragging his nuts on 'em at this point.

[EdwardDrayton]

Seems like TV is giving a lot of looks Vandy's way. Wonder if they've been jaw jacking.

[Coach34]

Attaboy Woodcock

[Coach34]

He's at 103 pitches. Does he go out in the 8th? Not even sure who we be first out of the pen tonight?

Nahhhh- you shut him down now

If this was a Super? Yeah- let him go back out

[parabrave]

Big hit Chance,

[R2Dawg]

Chance is a baller. Just stop with the not sure he belongs in the lineup. Dude delivers all the time.

[maroonmania]

Attaboy Bryce! We needed that in the worst way.

[Coach34]

He's having a helluva season so far

[mckeen]

Bryce Chance: probably the nearest thing to a clone of Tanner/Rowdy we've had since 2021.

[maroonmania]

Oh crap, here we go with Sweeney.

[parabrave]

Sweeny in/ Glad we got those 2 extra runs,.

[parabrave]

Holy Crap Sweeny gets a SO/

[parabrave]

Dang 3 up 3 down by Sweeny

[Coach34]

Best Sweeney has looked all season

[maroonmania]

Yep, Sweeney made the 8th look easy. Good job!

[StarkVegasSteve]

I am on vodka drink number 5. We look like national champions

[Turfdawg67]

Need more runs Dawgs. This is the worst Vandy pitching in a long time

Yeah... we're winning but not by enough. 7 runs sucks!! Whah, whah... I'm a miserable State fan and probably a Bear in disguise. I never comment unless it's bitching about my 18-4 team.

God I hate our fans.

[Turfdawg67]

Oh crap, here we go with Sweeney.

You're almost as bad as closeted Alpha...

[KOdawg1]

That's the Sweeney we need. If he can replicate that, it helps us out so freaking much.

[maroonmania]

Boy, the ball is not carrying tonight. I thought that one from Frei was gone.

[Coach34]

Cmon Swamp Thing- finish this

[parabrave]

Good win.

[Coach34]

Swamp Thing closes and we win the series. Nice job Dawgs!!!

[maroonmania]

Way to go Dogs! Good win.

[BeardoMSU]

Awesome game. Pitching was great.

[Coach34]

Now- we need to sweep to get that Top 8 seed cred

[The Federalist Engineer]

Need Sweeney to close this down for his confidence and save the pen.

[R2Dawg]

Bryce Chance: probably the nearest thing to a clone of Tanner/Rowdy we've had since 2021.

Yep he is right there. Clutch, clutch.

[SaintDawg]

I am on vodka drink number 5. We look like national champions

I went through half a bottle of Knob Creek myself.

[The Federalist Engineer]

3 hitter, that's back breaking for the Corbins. Only 7 hits in two games for the Vandy kids.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I am on vodka drink number 5. We look like national champions

Take it easy, 2026 Vandy is 13-11, this is not 2019 Vandy.

[Coach34]

Take it easy, 2026 Vandy is 13-11, this is not 2019 Vandy.

Yeah but they beat LSU last weekend. They arent doorknobs- they are just trying to get right after some injuries

[AlSwearengen]

Davis last night; Sweeney tonight. I may start a thread about how shitty our bullpen looks every Thursday. Or maybe I will wait and see what they do tomorrow.

[KOdawg1]

Playing with house money tomorrow. Go sweep em.

[Coach34]

Me and Tito about to turn up. On to G3 men

[Tater]

Pretty quiet game thread and some folks who usually post during losses weren't involved

[The Federalist Engineer]

Pitching for T'morah

1- Duke
2- Pitzer
3- Burns
4- Foster
5- Gleason (1 inning on Friday)

Is Jackson Logar in the Dog House? Bring a loaded gun on the bus? Naked at Wendy's?

Yeah. I don't know what's up with Logar. He was interviewed by Bart and Charlie this week so he's still around and on the team. If McPherson is out for a little bit I think there is good chance we'll see him pitch midweek some.

[Todd4State]

To make this short and sweet- we kicked their ass in tonight.

What a fun series so far!

I don't know if this team will win a National Championship or not but MSU baseball like we want it is DEFINITELY BACK!

Valinicous was awesome tonight. The slider was clearly working. We're managing the bullpen much better so far. Milewski has shored up the defense at catcher.

BOC said Friday night that Davis might even be available for an inning today if needed. He threw less than 40 pitches Friday night.
