Memphis at Mississippi State Baseball Game Thread

[Political Hack]

sound sucks over HailState right now. awful.

[Political Hack]

Bracewell starts with a quick K.

[Political Hack]

Pirtle to Rea for out #2.

[jbjones]

So, I guess it's Hailstate only? I get basketball @LSU on the normal 100.7

EDIT: I found it. Rock on Hack.

[Political Hack]

K again.

4 batters. 1 hit. 2 Ks and a 5-4 out.

[engie]

So, I guess it's Hailstate only? I get basketball @LSU on the normal 100.7

EDIT: I found it. Rock on Hack.

What station did you find it on?

[chainedup_Dawg]

Something about our lineup tonight is not sitting well with me, really hope they prove me wrong though.

[jbjones]

107.9, or whatever that station is out of French Camp.

Edit, correction, 107.9.

[Political Hack]

Armstrong with a lead off hit in honor of preachermatt.

[Political Hack]

bases juiced 2 outs.

[Political Hack]

Strike out. leave 3 on.

0-0 after 1.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

CT had a horrible at bat with bases loaded 1 out. Memphis pitcher seemed to be having control issues and CT swings at the first pitch that was high and inside and gets an infield fly rule out.

[msstate7]

Sounds like same old ct

[Will James]

Glad we got these Adidas bats to bunt a man over from 1st for our 9 hole hitter and Derek ****ing Armstrong

[mparkerfd20]

Looks like our Achilles heel came back from last season. We still can't hit for shit when it counts.

[msstate7]

Looks like our Achilles heel came back from last season. We still can't hit for shit when it counts.

Offense has been my concern. It still is. We strike out way too much for a team with no power. Strikeouts without the threat of the longball isn't good

[Political Hack]

bottom of 3rd.

0-0 still. 1 down 1 on.

[Joe Schmedlap]

On Sunday we didn't have very many hits at all, yet we had some huge hits at key points of the game. I think we had a couple of guys look like special Olympics participants during sacrifice bunt attempts though.

[Political Hack]

long at bat for Pirtle. ends up grounding out for the 2nd out but Rea made it to 2nd.

[Political Hack]

pop out for the 3rd out.

0-0 after 3.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Kyle Hann can flat out play defense. Our MIF is sick defensively.

[MarketingBully01]

pop out for the 3rd out.

0-0 after 3.

We will get to this pitcher soon enough. He has been living on the edge all three innings. Tonight has been us being impatient such as swinging at the first pitch and popping up. I don't think we have struck out though. We have made contact tonight.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Hann has made a couple of nice plays at short.

[Will James]

Armstrong...

[messageboardsuperhero]

Somebody's just going to have to get a hit. Six LOB so far, and I think four of those have been in scoring position.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Memphis's bats sound like the old bats. Hit like them too.

[Saltydog]

CT as last year in that AB (dropping his shoulder and popping up to the infield).

[MarketingBully01]

Bradford Pirtle error combo got that run home.

[Saltydog]

great pitching two years ago but couldn't score runs. I see this team being a lot like that squad.

[MarketingBully01]

CT as last year in that AB (dropping his shoulder and popping up to the infield).

And CT screwed up a very catchable ball which he had in his glove that they called a double. Should have been a 2 base error on Bradford.

[MarketingBully01]

Terrible call on the out call of Rea at second. The second baseman didn't even get to the bag! Was bullshit.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Awful call on Rea- he was easily at second in time. And of course, we strand another runner in scoring position.

[MarketingBully01]

Memphis up 1-0 going into the sixth. We better wake the heck up or we could be staring 2-2 in the face.

[TopconDog]

I know this is only game 4,but our hitting is starting to worry me some.

[HailState39110]

CT gonna CT

[MarketingBully01]

I know this is only game 4,but our hitting is starting to worry me some.

It's down right awful. Please don't play this lineup again...

[Political Hack]

1-0 with 1 out on the bottom of the 6th. Going to their bullpen. two men on 1 and 2.

[Saltydog]

nt

[Political Hack]

based loaded. 1 out.

Pinch hitter Cody Brown in with one out.

[Political Hack]

we're flipping the lineup over. four new guys in this inning.

[bully99]

Has Cohen had a quality offensive team since he's been here.

[Political Hack]

Cody delivers a two RBI shot to right center.

runners at the corners.

[MarketingBully01]

Cody delivers a two RBI shot to right center.

runners at the corners.

I think Brown deserves the shot at leading off.

[Political Hack]

another hard hit ball results in another run.

3-1 state.

Rea brings in another. 4-1.

[Political Hack]

I think Brown deserves the shot at leading off.

me too. Him being a lefty, having speed, and getting on base a lot is a great sign.

[Political Hack]

another pitching change.

4-1 State in the 6th. 1 down and runners at 2nd and 3rd. Brining in a lefty.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Bradford with 4 less than impressive at bats.

[MarketingBully01]

4-1 Dogs heading to Top 7th. We didn't score until we almost wiped the initial lineup out with pinch hitters.

[Political Hack]

inning over and Mitchell in to take us down the stretch.

[MarketingBully01]

That was a tailor made double play ball. Where was Britton playing? It looked like he was playing normal depth at SS. Ugh...

[messageboardsuperhero]

Where was Britton on that? Was he not in DP depth? That should have been an easy double play.

[AFDawg]

inning over and Mitchell in to take us down the stretch.

He looks like somebody draped a napkin on a toothpick. But he's probably my favorite player on this team.

[MarketingBully01]

Where was Britton on that? Was he not in DP depth? That should have been an easy double play.

I agree a ball hit that slow and in that area it was hit should easily have been fielded. Looked like Britton was playing in the middle of third and second.

[MarketingBully01]

Get Britton out of there...

[Political Hack]

son of a...

error on Britton on what should've been a double play to end the inning.

instead it's one out and 4-3 Dawgs with runners at 2nd and 3 rd.

[Political Hack]

they tried a bunt squeeze and missed. Randolph caught the ball and just tagged the runner out.

2 down.

[MarketingBully01]

they tried a bunt squeeze and missed. Randolph caught the ball and just tagged the runner out.

2 down.

This is one of those games you don't care that you won by one you just want to get of it with a win. Not playing well at all...

[Will James]

Yeah my MF boy Lingo. K's gonna K.

[maroonmania]

Extremely shoddy defense tonight. First run to Memphis given up when Bradford and Pirtle couldn't make plays and now Britton throws away a DP ball to give up 2 more runs when the inning should have been over. Britton's throwing has always been his Achilles heel.

[Political Hack]

Lindgren comes in and gets a Knto end the inning.

Dawgs up 4-3.

[MarketingBully01]

son of a...

error on Britton on what should've been a double play to end the inning.

instead it's one out and 4-3 Dawgs with runners at 2nd and 3 rd.

Britton's head is just not in the game between missing a double play ball because he wasn't lined up right at double play depth and erroring the throw on a ball he got that should have been a double play to end the inning.

[Political Hack]

still 4-3 going to the 8th.

[Political Hack]

Britton's head is just not in the game between missing a double play ball because he wasn't lined up right at double play depth and erroring the throw on a ball he got that should have been a double play to end the inning.

yeah. he seems a little off tonight but I'm not worried about him.

[MarketingBully01]

yeah. he seems a little off tonight but I'm not worried about him.

Sure, I am not worried about him but any more of that crap tonight and we lose this game.

[Will James]

Lindgren so sick.

1st round swag

[messageboardsuperhero]

Four batters faced- Four Ks. Lindgren has made Memphis his bitch tonight. Good to see him bounce back after a shakey first outing.

[MarketingBully01]

Lindgren so sick.

1st round swag

Yeah, that slider is really on tonight.

[Political Hack]

4-3 bottom of the 8th.

Cody leads it off with a strikeout. Detz pops out to shallow center. Rea up.

[Political Hack]

Memphis coach just got tossed for bitching about the ball call.

[RossDawg82]

4-3 bottom of the 8th.

Cody leads it off with a strikeout. Detz pops out to shallow center. Rea up.
I would love an insurance moon shot right here.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Memphis coach just got tossed for bitching about the ball call.

And I don't blame him. He should have rung Rea up there.

Really, his zone has been REALLY inconsistent all night.

[Political Hack]

Rea pops out to center. 8th over. headed to 9th up by one.

[MarketingBully01]

Holder time. Right call in my opinion. We need to shut the door on this game. We played like crap but if we can just get out of this game with a win I'll take it.

[Political Hack]

holder gets a pop fly and then strikes out the next batter only to see him run to 1st on a past ball.

1 down. runner on first.

[MarketingBully01]

Yep, gotta love the strike out passed ball. We just aren't playing well.

[maroonmania]

Now Randolph is going to pot.

[Political Hack]

runner takes 2nd and Randolph's throw was way off and ended up in center field.

[Dallas_Dawg]

Another runner on base after a Holder strikeout this time.
Randolph isn't used to catching Holder or Lindgren.
Damn as I type, Randolph loses another in the dirt and throws a wild throw to second .
Runner on second, 1 out

[Will James]

Defense ****ed up this one

[Dallas_Dawg]

Mother ****er.

[Political Hack]

hit to left center. runner scores to tie it up and the go ahead run is at 2nd.

[messageboardsuperhero]

If we lose this, it's all on the defense.

[maroonmania]

Boy, don't need to take a loss here and go 2-2 already if we want to try and be a national seed down the line.

[MarketingBully01]

And the lineup we had all the chances I the world but what did we strand 10+?

[maroonmania]

If we lose this, it's all on the defense.

Yep, just keep compounding our problems. Let the go ahead runner get to second on an overthrow.

[Pollodawg]

Is Memphis good or are we just playing like pure garbage?

[MarketingBully01]

If we lose this, it's all on the defense.

Pirtle, Bradford, Randolph, and Britton all have screwed up on the defense.

[Joe Schmedlap]

Bad news bears defense

[maroonmania]

Another Britton error. Memphis takes the lead. Pathetic.

[MarketingBully01]

Is Memphis good or are we just playing like pure garbage?

We are playing like shit and Memphis is good enough to capitalize.

[msstate7]

Overrated. We're grossly overrated. Hate it, but it's true. We have pitching and that's it.

[maroonmania]

MAJOR choke job tonight is about all you can say.

[Bully13]

well shit...we are letting memphis come to town and jack off in our hair.. how nice..

[MarketingBully01]

Another Britton error. Memphis takes the lead. Pathetic.

We can't afford to play him if he plays like this. Humphries would be better at short.

[Political Hack]

Randolph and Britton having a terrible inning.

Down 5-4 now on what should be 2 errors and 2 allowed stolen bases.

[Joe Schmedlap]

Britton has been shitastic tonight, utterly shitastic.

[smootness]

Well, the Britton experiment is over. If he hurts us on D, then he's completely useless.

[Jacksondevildog]

Randolph isn't the answer behind the plate. At least not now.

[War Machine Dawg]

Another Britton error. Memphis takes the lead. Pathetic.

I have no clue why we pulled Hann. He was playing well. Cohen loves his ****ing match ups, though.

[smootness]

Let's go Hann and Collins. Their offense is clearly better, and their defense can't be worse than this.

[Bully13]

we are supposed to be a top team and we are playing like a bunch of 17ing pussies.. wake up pussies..

[bully99]

John Cohen crootin?

[quickstrike2]

Just can't have guys out there for their defense that ends up not playing good defense.

[Political Hack]

shit. run scores on a shot to Rea. he recovered to get the out at first but we're down two now.

[msstate7]

Pathetic. We have potential, but we aren't very good right now.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Horrible, horrible defensive performance tonight. No sugar coating it.

[Will James]

Overrated. We're grossly overrated. Hate it, but it's true. We have pitching and that's it.

If Woody crawls in his hole then its 2012

[MarketingBully01]

Gotta feel for our pitchers tonight. Just shitty shitty defense.

[Political Hack]

the worst inning so far this year is finally over.

[msstate7]

With our offense do you have any confidence we'll get 2 runs? I have none

[Political Hack]

we've probably left 30 runners on in 4 games. that can't happen.

and if it does you sure as hell can't commit 3 errors and win.

[Pollodawg]

I don't think we have the bats to come back in all honesty.

[maroonmania]

You can't be as anemic as we are offensively and be this shitty defensively. I agree that at this time we are way overrated. All you need to do to slow us offensively is not walk our hit our batters. That is most of how we get on base because we don't even normally hit the ball that hard.

[Bully13]

nice way to lose. by being pussies. get last year's success out of your heads jackasses. wake the 17 up.. you lose tonight because we don't have what it takes.... this 17ing game is over.. I hate to get excited about anything thing...God it sux being a MSU fan.. same 17ing shit for 4 decades. 17 me runnin' ..

[MarketingBully01]

I saw this coming. I just wanted to get out of this game with a one run win but no. Randolph had to allow a passed ball to by him on a fastball? A breaking pitch at least you can understand but a fastball? Then Britton doing what he does...ugh just ugh...

[msstate7]

I don't think we have the bats to come back in all honesty.

Walks or HBP = prob only chance

[Political Hack]

Memphis pitcher looks shakey on first two pitches. could be hope!!!

[Political Hack]

single. 1 on.

[Bully13]

ok..single...watch us 17 this up\

[Pollodawg]

Walks or HBP = prob only chance


I fail to understand why our sticks are this anemic year after year it seems.

[Political Hack]

waaaaay outside to CT. this guys all over the place.

[Political Hack]

waaaay high to CT. 2-0.

tit high strike. 2-1

[Bully13]

I lived in memphis for 12 yrs. i hate memphis... I'm drinking and extremely pissed right now..

[Political Hack]

so the he swing at a chin high strike.

full count.

[msstate7]

2-1 and ct swings at that? He's terrible

[Bothrops]

It's very early but not looking too promising considering the league we're in.

[Political Hack]

walks. 2 on. 0 down. Vickerson up.

[bully99]

This team overacheived last year people. Offense has struggled during Cohen tenure.

[Pollodawg]

Bradford is so overrated it isn't even funny.

[Bully13]

Why can't someone else get on an then another go yard right now?.... because we can't ..that's why...shit

[msstate7]

Thank you for laying off that ct. You're only gonna pop it up anyway. LAY off that pitch!

[Political Hack]

pitching change.

[Pollodawg]

People love Bradford, and he has done not shit that I can remember since he's been here.

[tcdog70]

Damn, you boys are being a little hard on our Dogs. it's early, chill out, we are going to be ok.

[smootness]

Gotta love in-game baseball threads. I don't know how to explain it, but it never fails.

[smootness]

Damn, you boys are being a little hard on our Dogs. it's early, chill out, we are going to be ok.

We certainly agree on this point.

[Political Hack]

full Count to Vickerson.

[Intramural All-American]

Surprised Vickerson didn't bunt here.

[Political Hack]

Vickerson with a deep out that moves Pirtle to 3rd. Runners at the corners. 1 out. still down by 2.

[msstate7]

Ball looked high

[maroonmania]

Surprised Vickerson didn't bunt here.

Exactly my question, I was shocked he wasn't bunting all the way.

[Bully13]

this is 17ing pathetic... 17ing shitphis.. losing to 17ing shitphis..

[Political Hack]

Henderson up. 2-1 count.

[Will James]

Holy dumbass shit there JC

[Political Hack]

shit. CT got gunned going to 2nd.

[maroonmania]

We are stupid. We don't bunt but then send CT to second where he gets thrown out?

[msstate7]

Great call!!! Ct must have been jogging.

[Joe Schmedlap]

CT .... Crap Tastic

[Political Hack]

Hendo strikes out. Memphis wins.

piss poor game.

[msstate7]

This team isn't good.

[maroonmania]

Just an all around TERRIBLE game for us.

[messageboardsuperhero]

This game ****ing blew. That is all.

[tcdog70]

We certainly agree on this point.

Ha Smoot, we might not agree a lot, but we don't call each other shitty names.

[quickstrike2]

I have to agree, CT just hadnt done much.

[msstate7]

Can robson play center? I'm bout sick of ct myself

[smootness]

This team isn't good.

Can I suggest just a tad bit of patience? Awful game, no doubt, no sugarcoating it. But it is baseball, and there is a little bit of it left.

[War Machine Dawg]

Can robson play center? I'm bout sick of ct myself

He's supposedly the heir apparent. Problem is, almost no one hits on this team right now. We gotta roll the dice on Garner at C and Humphries at 3B, particularly in these non-con games.

[quickstrike2]

Great hit and run with Henderson there, damn it

[Joe Schmedlap]

Guess all we can say is "that's baseball", lol.

[Bothrops]

Damn this sucks. We need some aggressive power guys at the plate. LSU lives by them.

[MarketingBully01]

That was the dumbest call I have ever seen stealing him over to second for two reasons. A) it was stupid, B) there was no way in heck Henderson could even put the bat on the ball so instead of 3-1 runners on the corners it's two outs 2-2. Odds are good that if Bradford doesn't steal that base it's bases loaded one out. Dumb dumb dumb

[Intramural All-American]

I don't understand the CT hate. He was our best hitter this weekend, and he drew a big walk in the 9th tonight. He got thrown out on a hit and run where the hitter couldn't foul it off, how do you hate him for that? The stupid decision is Cohen not bunting Vickerson.

[smootness]

Ha Smoot, we might not agree a lot, but we don't call each other shitty names.

People who do drive me crazy. I would always rather spend time with people I disagree with civilly than those I agree with who act like raging dicks to those on the other side.

That dumb steal attempt is on Cohen. I agree.

[Bully13]

we have 17ing issues right now.. they need to be resolved..

[Joe Schmedlap]

I think I saw Henderson get a runner thrown out at 2nd on Sunday on what could have been a hit and run where Henderson whiffed. If that is the case, then he has done that twice already this year. Maybe if I am coaching, I don't try that again with Henderson (who also is not very adept at the sacrifice bunt on many occasions).

[MarketingBully01]

That wasn't on Henderson tonight. No one could have put a bat on that ball. It was way outside and a crappy ball to hit and run on. Wasn't even a good count to do it.

[Joe Schmedlap]

Okay, that's good to know (I guess). Just a dumb coaching decision then to go along with turrible, turrible defense.

[tcdog70]

People who do drive me crazy. I would always rather spend time with people I disagree with civilly than those I agree with who act like raging dicks to those on the other side.

That's worth saying twice

[tcdog70]

Damn, there is more bitching on a baseball thread than on our pitiful basketball team. Hammer Cohen but take up for Ray, I don't understand.

[msstate7]

High expectations breed criticism.

I don't either. And I agree with you about not bunting Vickerson. If we execute that, we have the tying runs in scoring position and one of our hotter hitters at the plate.

[preachermatt83]

Bully13's meltdown on this thread has been hilarious. Im sorry, but he is really really mad!! haha!
