[Dawg61]

Anyone care to post the inning by inning at bats is the MAN!! Thanks

[godlluB]

I'm swinging in the rain
Just swinging in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds.
So dark up above
Baseball's in my heart.
And I'm ready for love

Damned..lightning.

[DudyDawg]

Radar looks like this is only heavy patch, should be clear by around first pitch and after, per radar

[godlluB]

Yeah, but I may need a canoe to get to our trailer.

[Political Hack]

when HailState says it's going to start at 6, why doesn't it start at 6?

[Dallas_Dawg]

First pitch at 6:20? Hailstate TV won't launch till yhen

[Political Hack]

gotcha. couldn't get the radio show to come on at 6 which was bugging me, but now I finally got it and it's a political bitch fest about Obamacare. Terrible.

[Dawg61]

Haha sounds terrible

[messageboardsuperhero]

I like the lineup.

Can't post it because I'm on my phone- but Vickerson is leading off.

[jbjones]

gotcha. couldn't get the radio show to come on at 6 which was bugging me, but now I finally got it and it's a political bitch fest about Obamacare. Terrible.

100.9 FINALLY went to Jim around 6:20. It was a short pre-game. Anthem is playing now. Play ball, Dawgs!

[MetEdDawg]

Anyone listening online NOT through Hail State? Want to listen online but can't find it. Please post the link if you can and thanks in advance.

[jbjones]

Anyone listening online NOT through Hail State? Want to listen online but can't find it. Please post the link if you can and thanks in advance.

My experience in the past has been that the "listen live" link on 100.9's page just plays normal programming. You have to be local over-the-air to get the actual game-call.

[bully99]

The station is blacked out on the internet. Unbelievable

[Political Hack]

impressive at bat and pitching.

[Thick]

impressive at bat and pitching.

That's all we get???

[msstate7]

impressive at bat and pitching.

Care to elaborate? I'm sneaking around checking this while having dinner with my wife

[jbjones]

1-0 Catamounts. Woody hit the first guy, walked the second, fanned the third, and just gave up an RBI single to Right. Henderson made it a close play at the plate, but the runner was safe. Apparently, the wet surface of the infield didn't really slow the ball down that much, Jim thought. Runners on the corners.

[Rick Danko]

We down 1-0 tough at bats so far from WC

[Political Hack]

I tried the HailState TV thing a few years ago and it was awful. this is great. the HD is great and you can just stream it to your TV via an HDMI cable.

[bully99]

Eastern Michigan 6-5 over Clemson

[jbjones]

2-0 Catamounts. Rea had a quick one go off of his glove; Sounds like he should have made the play, and normally makes that. Bullpen active.

[Thick]

2-0 WC.

[jbjones]

That's the end of the top of the inning, 2-0. I've got some stuff to take care of, so I may not be able to update as much here shortly.

Edit: I think Woody had 2K's 2 walks and 2 hit batsmen?

[Dallas_Dawg]

Woody looked shaky at best. Not what we wanted to see

[jbjones]

Vickerson strikes out. Detz popped it up to SS. 2 Away.

[jbjones]

Pirtle hits the first pitch to the outfield. 3-up and down for the Dawgs.

[Political Hack]

that guy is a monster.

[bully99]

I'm gonna say this as the season starts , I have a lot of questions about this team offensively.

[msstate7]

Wasn't woody pretty much unhittable in our scrimmages? Hope it wasn't bc we aren't good offensively. I'm sorta concerned about our offense

[msstate7]

I'm gonna say this as the season starts , I have a lot of questions about this team offensively.

Me too

[Political Hack]

top of the 2nd

2-0 WC

3 up 3 down for the dawgs in the first.

[jbjones]

40 pitches for Woody. Just walked the lead-off batter. Ross M working in the pen.

[Political Hack]

Woodruff threw 40 pitches in the first and walked the 1st batter of the 2nd on a full count.

[msstate7]

40 pitches for Woody. Just walked the lead-off batter. Ross M working in the pen.

I thought Evan Mitchell moved on

[Political Hack]

another walk.

[jbjones]

I thought Evan Mitchell moved on

Ross Mitchell. Woody has been pulled, and Ross is in.

[Political Hack]

they're pulling Woodruff.

[Political Hack]

that was a tough outing. 2 runs on 1 hit and 1 error.

[mparkerfd20]

I see Woodruff still sux

[Dawg61]

Rough start

[cbrunt29]

Tough to see Woodruff struggle on opening night.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Nevermind already posted above

[jbjones]

Ross!! with the K.

Edit: I think he threw an 86 fastball (pretty good for Ross) and then followed it up with a 68 at the knees. That poor bastard didn't stand a chance!
Edit-2: Another offspeed pitch retires the side. Ross Mitchell comes in and gets it done.

[Saltydog]

I think we go as far as out pitching takes us.......

[msstate7]

Ross Mitchell. Woody has been pulled, and Ross is in.

Was referring to woody pitching like Evan

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Man I hope Woodruff can get it together. He just had no control on his fastball tonight.

[jbjones]

Was referring to woody pitching like Evan

Yeah,I realized that a few minutes later; I'm doing too many things at one time...didn't catch it.

[Political Hack]

Mitchell looks solid so far, but they're playing small ball now with the big guy on the mound.

[Political Hack]

nice double play.

[Political Hack]

RM is carving them up now. 3 K's.

just need some O.

[Saltydog]

and making our hitters look bad in doing it........

[Political Hack]

Henderson having a good at bat.

full count.

[Political Hack]

so much for that. frozen over the outside corner.

Their SP has 4K's.

[jbjones]

Britton with the BB! First Dawg base runner.

[Political Hack]

Brit walks. Runner on... finally.

[Political Hack]

[jbjones]

9 outs, 5 strikeouts, 4 flyballs.

[Political Hack]

he's faced 10 batters in 3 innings.

[bully99]

I think we need one of these to pick people up.
Maaaaaaarrrrrrrrroooooooonnnnn

[jbjones]

I think we need one of these to pick people up.
Maaaaaaarrrrrrrrroooooooonnnnn

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!!!

Vickerson with a sliding catch in shallow Left!!

[Political Hack]

great sliding catch by Vickerson.

[Coach34]

My boy Britton gonna have a good season

[jbjones]

6-4-3 for the 2nd time tonight ends the 4th. Nice!

[Political Hack]

6-4-3 again. Mitchell looking solid.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Gotta get these bats going.

[Political Hack]

6-4-3 for the 2nd time tonight ends the 4th. Nice!

you must be a little ahead of me. I'm going to let you take play by play because we're saying the same thing. I'll just add color (I.e. snide remarks when things don't go well for us).

[jbjones]

you must be a little ahead of me. I'm going to let you take play by play because we're saying the same thing. I'll just add color (I.e. snide remarks when things don't go well for us).

Was gonna let you have it. I'm going to be busy in a few minutes. Keep at it...and the snide remarks!

[cbrunt29]

7 K's for WCU's pitcher thru 4 innings.

[Political Hack]

Rea goes down looking and made a comment to the ump walking off.

2-0 WC top of the 5th.

[Dawg61]

7 K's for WCU's pitcher thru 4 innings.

Offer him a scholarship

[Political Hack]

good play by Wes to get the tag down the line.m
1 out.

[bully99]

Bot 8 bears 7 Stetson 0 I only know this because that game is on radio and ours is nowhere to be found.

[jbjones]

Also, it's windy as hell about 20 miles East of campus. I'm reading 15-18 NNW right now. Geez...and now back to Hack for the game call..how 'bout it Hack?

[Political Hack]

Detz gets a guy from third.

2 outs.

[Political Hack]

Mitchell with a K on 3 pitches. hardly and pitches that innong, which should help get Mitchell into the late innings. Great outing for him so far.

His change of speed is significant enough to notice on TV. Pretty impressive.

[Political Hack]

Frankenstein is still in going into the bottom of the 5th.

[jbjones]

Mitchell with a K on 3 pitches. hardly and pitches that innong, which should help get Mitchell into the late innings. Great outing for him so far.

His change of speed is significant enough to notice on TV. Pretty impressive.

Bulldog fans, don't forget that Lindgren is still in the pen...and I see C.T. getting it done for the Dagws...that's a hit.

[Political Hack]

a hit. a hit. a MF hit!!!!

CT is on.

[Political Hack]

Garner with a long fly out to center.

[Political Hack]

Henderson up with 1 out. Be interesting to see if we try to advance the runner here.

[Political Hack]

0-2 to Hendo.

[Political Hack]

1-2. Hendo battling at the plate.

[Political Hack]

Hendo strikes out again but has had two of our better at bats. At least he's making Lerch fight for it.

[Political Hack]

I feel like Bob Ucher... "is there anybody even listening?"

pop out. 5th over.

[jbjones]

I feel like Bob Ucher... "is there anybody even listening?"

pop out. 5th over.

Paying attendance tonight is....Christ, I can't find it...to hell with it!

[bully99]

Ucla.? That you

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Lurch is legit. Woodruff's rough start hurt bad. We've only given up two hits I think.

[Original48]

Keep it coming. I'm in a rural area and can't pick up the came. #Jackson

[Political Hack]

2 outs. Mitchell pitching his ass off.

still 2-0 WC.

[Political Hack]

chopper over the pitchers head for a soft base hit. Runner on first.

[Political Hack]

top of the 6th is over. Mitchell with another K.

WC 2 - State 0.

[cbrunt29]

Mitchell with his 5th K. Hell of a game for him.

[Original48]

I don't understand why you keep giving us the score Hack. That's not how it's done!!

[Political Hack]

I'm a rookie. forgive me.

[Political Hack]

pop up in foul territory and the first baseman grabs it.

1 hit through 5.1

[Political Hack]

Vickerson was going to bunt but bailed and took the first strike.

0-1

now 0-2.

[jbjones]

Their picher is at 75 pitches....no one working in the pen. Wow.

[Political Hack]

now 0-3.

2 outs.

[Political Hack]

Their picher is at 75 pitches....no one working in the pen. Wow.

he's a beast.

[msstate7]

I thought this team would be offensively challenged and I've seen nothing to change my mind. I know their pitcher is good, but I'm worried about us scoring runs this season. Adam and renfroe were no small losses

[Political Hack]

hard hit to right field. great running coach over his shoulder by the warning track.

[Political Hack]

Going into the 7th, still 2-0 WC.

[bully99]

I thought we had a beast pitching tonight too.

[Political Hack]

Mitchell K's the first batter on four pitches.

[Political Hack]

I thought we had a beast pitching tonight too.

we do. Mitchell.

[jbjones]

I thought this team would be offensively challenged and I've seen nothing to change my mind. I know their pitcher is good, but I'm worried about us scoring runs this season. Adam and renfroe were no small losses

Yeah, they were big losses. So far, it's been tough sledding. Ross is doing his thing, though. Hopefully, as usual, he'll get the infield their double plays and get the team's confidance up. Woody's start really kinda startled us it seems. Ross will settle it down for us. It seems that's his role here...back to Hack for updates...

[Original48]

We are gonna score 5 in the bottom of the 7th.

[msstate7]

I thought we had a beast pitching tonight too.

I'm at the point where I expect nothing from woodruff

[Political Hack]

stand up double for the 1 hole hitter.

1 down and a man on 2nd.

[Political Hack]

We are gonna score 5 in the bottom of the 7th.

weve got to get into the Great Khali's pitch count.

[bully99]

I just don't see a lot of offensive pop on this team. Little power and a number of new guys who haven't proven much.

[Political Hack]

another K for Mitchell. Great performance for him tonight. 7K's.

[Political Hack]

I just don't see a lot of offensive pop on this team. Little power and a number of new guys who haven't proven much.

we've hit the ball hard a few times. they'll round it out.

[Political Hack]

2-2 count. barely missed. the IF was running in.

[Political Hack]

shit. stroke 1-hopper down the first base line scores the runner.

3-0 WC.

[Political Hack]

good play by Britton at short to come up on a hopper and get the out the first. close play

middle of the 7th.

[jbjones]

Stretch-time....not sure about Dudy Noble, but about 20 Miles East it's 46 degrees, ~6 mph NNW winds. C'Mon Dawgs!!

[bully99]

Announced attendance 7602 no idea the real number

[Dawg61]

pop up in foul territory and the first baseman grabs it.

"1 hit! 1 hit! That's all we got is one god damn hit?!" "You can't say god damn on the air" "ah Christ nobody is listening anyways"

[Political Hack]

Pirty boy to lead it off.

[jbjones]

"1 hit! 1 hit! That's all we got is one god damn hit?!" "You can't say god damn on the air" "ah Christ nobody is listening anyways"

I could quote half that movie. Definitely top 20 sports movie all-time.

[bully99]

For those watching what about the umps strike zone

[Political Hack]

Big Show stays in.

Garner at the plate.

[cbrunt29]

Garner singles!!! CT to 3rd.

[Political Hack]

[Original48]

Who is the idiot who predicted 5 runs in the bottom?

[jbjones]

[Dawg61]

Thanks Hack for the updates. Very much appreciated.

[Political Hack]

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Why dont we just start mitchell? Im sick ot this shit.

[Political Hack]

ms aegis leave two stranded in the bottom of the 7th.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

We seem to struggle with teams that are black and purple..

[Political Hack]

quick first out. 6-3

[Political Hack]

quick 2nd out. 4 to 3.

3 pitches. 2 outs.

[jbjones]

If you haven't noticed, Bulldog fans, and by the traffic here you haven't, Ross Mitchell is back to last year's form.

[Political Hack]

hit up the middle. base hit. runner on first. 2 outs.

[Political Hack]

they officially changes that error earlier to a hit.

[Pollodawg]

We need to get this last out and slow the game down in the bottom of the 8th we can still win this one. We'll just need a few heroics.

[LC Dawg]

Thanks for updates. No internet or radio so keeping up by phone.

[Political Hack]

3-0 count. Mitchell in a hole.

[Pollodawg]

WCU is a pretty damn solid team, too.

[bully99]

Still a bad night for rea

[starkvegasdawg]

***this is horrible. Pathetic. Our offense is inept. We should be up 10 runs in this game. Fire Cohen. We would be winning if we bunted more. Unless we tried to bunt in this game in which case what the hell is Cohen thinking bunting in those situations.***

That about cover everything? If so, tip of the hat to the wcu pitcher tonight. Time to see if we can put together a late rally.

[Political Hack]

grounder to Britton, steps on 2nd. bottom of 8th coming up.

[Pollodawg]

Early season losses sting, but they truly mean nothing in the grand scheme of baseball. It's a long season. Best thing we can do as fans is sit back and enjoy it, not freak the hell out.

[OldFatDog]

Why dont we just start mitchell? Im sick ot this shit.

Instant Classic. Wow. This is the first game of the season. Exactly what shit are you referencing. This one game? Or carry over shit from last year which ended up being a pretty good year?

[Political Hack]

Sasquatch still in. pitch count up to 100.

Fly ball by Britton to CF. out 1.

[Political Hack]

Randolph up. 1-1

Godzilla starting to lose a little control. 2-2 off a hard foul ball.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Instant Classic. Wow. This is the first game of the season. Exactly what shit are you referencing. This one game? Or carry over shit from last year which ended up being a pretty good year?

How about all of last season. Our starter would last 2 innings if we were lucky, get in a jam and then mitchell would save the day for 5 innings.

Why not just start him for 5 innings instead of playing from behind half the game?

[bully99]

For those watching was woody off a little? a lot? Umpires stroke zone?

[Political Hack]

ground out to 2nd. 2 down.

Vickerson up.

[Political Hack]

strike zone looking a little generous on some hits.

0-2

[Dawg61]

How about all of last season. Our starter would last 2 innings if we were lucky, get in a jam and then mitchell would save the day for 5 innings.

Why not just start him for 5 innings instead of playing from behind half the game?

He struggled as a starter I think. For whatever reason he's unbelievable after the 2nd inning. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

[Political Hack]

pitches. not hits. beer.

[CJDAWG85]

I'm frozen

[jbjones]

For those watching was woody off a little? a lot? Umpires stroke zone?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too. All I have is radio, and let's be honest....Jim isn't exactly going to say how they're calling it. Some broadcasts he does..but tonight, that's not the case.

[Political Hack]

K. done. Vickerson K's for the 3 rd time tonight.

going into the 9th and it's 3-0 WC.

[bully99]

So Vickerson and Rea have hat tricks ?

[Political Hack]

Mitchell still in ground out to 3rd.

[Political Hack]

So Vickerson and Rea have hat tricks ?

[Political Hack]

[Political Hack]

Voltron is out. new blood on the mound.

"so you're saying there's a chance..."

[Political Hack]

2-3-4 holes up.

[Original48]

Jim getting radio listeners back to play two batters in. Refreshing Hack seems to be the way to go.

[Political Hack]

3 straight balls to the lead off hitter...

[Political Hack]

[bully99]

Ellis has been doing this for years. He needs to retire.

[Political Hack]

[Political Hack]

[Dawg61]

I'm frozen

Wanna say thanks to Hack for the major play-by-play duties. You did fine. It's a long season, we'll all get better.
