MI State vs MS State

[jbjones]

Looks like a 1940 (7:40) pitch. Local folks can pick up the game on 100.9. The broadcast will resume at 1935 (7:35).

[It_Could_Happen]

Bases loaded no outs and get one run. Terrible AB's from heck and Robson.

[bully99]

Except for Wes Rea , amazing how small we look. Look like a Jr high team next to msu green

[bully99]

Woody lasted only 2.1 so far 2 runs

[It_Could_Happen]

That's not gonna cut it.

[rrog17]

Maybe they should try him out of the pen.

[Saltydog]

inning he's pitched and he's yet to impress me. Control still an issue.

[maroonmania]

I'm very concerned that Woodruff is going to end up being this year's Evan Mitchell. Great stuff but doesn't have a clue where its going. Just can't locate his stuff well enough to be truly effective.

[bully99]

Should be just as worried about the offense as the pitching.

[Todd4State]

Maybe they should try him out of the pen.

I would move him to Sunday first. I think we would get a more favorable match-up at that time rather than him locking up against the other teams ace. Lindgren needs to be the Friday starter right now- with Fitts following him on Sat.

[bully99]

Great catch by bradford

[maroonmania]

What a ridiculous strike 3 call on Rea.

[MafiaDawg]

Woodruff blows. He's done. Mid week relief guy. Sorry bud.

[jbjones]

How about Ross!!!? Man...6 pitches that inning.

[bully99]

If woody is done,then it gonna be a long year.

[maroonmania]

Heck with our best hit ball of the night even if it was an out.

[maroonmania]

Robson is so disappointing, strikes out on a 3-2 pitch at head level. I thought he would be so much better than he is.

[bully99]

Can't you say that about a lot of players.

[Bucky Dog]

Score update please

[bully99]

Bot 6 2 1 green. Ct 3. For 3

[RossDawg82]

We have 0 clutch hitting

[Saltydog]

play small ball but this shit is not small, it's micro...........

[bully99]

Top7 2 1 green robson 0for 3 3ks
Umpire is a joke

[maroonmania]

Our pathetic offense appears well on its way to wasting another good outing from Mitchell. And Robson should be replaced by Hendo immediately. He gives us nothing at the plate.

[bully99]

This team is puny

[bully99]

Heck makes routine plays,but he doesn't have s strong arm

[RossDawg82]

Is it me or does it seem like the fun isn't in our program like lady year.

[Todd4State]

We need Henderson and Garner in the lineup rather than Robson and Cody Brown. With those two, our hitting is a LOT better. I'll also say Gavin Collins over Cody Walker. We're hitting with six guys right now.

I actually thought Robson and Brown have a much better chance to become really good contact hitters than Hendo or Garner. No?

[rrog17]

It's not fun when you aren't very good.

[engie]

Exactly.

Collins and Henderson were getting hot -- so we sat them. Same really with Garner. This lineup is 6 deep at best.

One gripe I have about Cohen is sitting guys right when it seems they are getting hot and really starting to figure it out. That can take you out of a groove in a hurry as a hitter...

[maroonmania]

Robson rarely ever makes contact.

[maroonmania]

And this team is one popup and lazy fly ball after another. At least try to make the other team have to make plays.

[bully99]

B b b but oh nevermind

[msstate7]

We stink

[bully99]

Florids lost again 6 0 Illinois
Bama lost 2 0 to ulala
Bears in extras

[Todd4State]

Baseball is as much about now as anything. Robson might be a better player in the long run than Demarcus- but right now Demarcus has more experience and is playing better. Garner is also playing better. It's not so much like football where it's- OK, you are the slot guy, you are the QB, you are the OT.

For all we know Robson and Brown may end up having better years than Demarcus and Garner- but right now Garner and Henderson are playing better. If that changes, we should also make changes accordingly.

[engie]

B b b but oh nevermind

Yep. It's the shitty recruiting**

Has nothing to do with facing the best draft prospect in the B1G on the hill...

[Political Hack]

no contest right now. I agree. I've thought Brown has been solid in spots already this year though and getting those guys reps early in the season is good... so long as we don't lose because of it.

[engie]

VanVossen 120 pitches in now...

[bully99]

Rea hit pinch runner green going to pen.

[engie]

And we chased him. Good. Time to open the flood gates now...

[Bucky Dog]

Update

[bully99]

Kirk Gibson's son plays lf for the green

[bully99]

B8 2 1 green 2 on no out

[bully99]

Boot boot tie

[MadisonDawg]

1st and 3rd 2-2 no outs

[bully99]

Ct 4 for 4

[Bucky Dog]

Damn. We can only score with HBP, walks and errors it seems like.

[bully99]

Blown call at plate

[maroonmania]

The umpire just screwed us ROYALLY! Why is we can't even get a decent call at HOME!

[smootness]

This ump completely sucks. I have no idea how umps can be that consistently bad.

[Bucky Dog]

Thrown out on fly ball or what?

[rrog17]

No doubt he was safe.

[smootness]

Thrown out on fly ball or what?

Squeeze, Pirtle was clearly safe...ump was standing right on top of it and completely blew the call.

[bully99]

HP ump is a pos

[engie]

Now we get to see Garner...

[smootness]

Boom, Garner!

[jbjones]

GARNER!!!

[MadisonDawg]

Garner=clutch

[engie]

And there it is...Should close that book on who should DH going forward...

Garner single 3-2 MSU

[bully99]

3 2 maroon

[Bucky Dog]

Description please!

[Political Hack]

score, inning, etc???

[maroonmania]

Man, Daniel Garner HAS to be in our lineup as DH. He comes through big again.

[bully99]

4 2

[MadisonDawg]

4-2 Bottom 8

[jbjones]

4-2 Dogs, 2 down. 8th.

[smootness]

4-2 now after a misplay by the 2B, bottom 8 with 2 outs.

[Political Hack]

nice. thx

[maroonmania]

Our offense appear to getting the ump off the hook.

[jbjones]

That's the end of the 8th. We got 3 runs on 4 hits, 1 MI St error.

Edit: Tell ya what, that play at the plate sounded like a serious mis-call. Bart made it sound like it was an easy call.."by a mile" for us.

[Bucky Dog]

Rebs were about to lose in 11th but get help from ump when runner was called safe at third and allowed tying run to score.

Edit: Tell ya what, that play at the plate sounded like a serious mis-call. Bart made it sound like it was an easy call.."by a mile" for us.

I don't know about 'by a mile' but he was clearly safe watching it live. His hand was all over the plate when he was tagged.

[jbjones]

Yeah, he did say that his hand was "past the plate" when the tag was applied...I did hear "by a mile"..ya know...radio.

Holder apparently warming up in the pen.

[bully99]

Mitchell still in holder warming up 1 out

[msstate7]

Really happy to see a clutch hit. Wonder if Ross finishing this is an indictment of holder

[jbjones]

Ross ****ing Mitchell....Dogs Win, 4-2.

Dogs, 7-4 now.

[bully99]

Winner

[smootness]

Ross Mitchell is a beast.

[smootness]

Really happy to see a clutch hit. Wonder if Ross finishing this is an indictment of holder

He's still got a finger issue, right? Probably just want to keep him rested as much as possible. And Mitchell was dealing.

[bully99]

Plate ump was bad all night not just the blown call

[Todd4State]

For those bitching about our offense- we kick their ass if we start Demarcus and Garner. See the eighth inning for reference.

Good to see Holder up in the pen too- that probably means his finger is better.

[Todd4State]

He's still got a finger issue, right? Probably just want to keep him rested as much as possible. And Mitchell was dealing.

Rumor was he had an infection in his finger. If that's true- some antibiotics can clear that up soon.

[Todd4State]

Really happy to see a clutch hit. Wonder if Ross finishing this is an indictment of holder

No. It's an indictment that we have three more games to play this weekend. If it were me, I would use Holder in a blowout and see how he responds.

[jbjones]

Cohen thinks W.IL will start a lefty, which will "change our lineup some".

Fitts will start the first game tomorrow.

[Todd4State]

Translation- Demarcus and Garner start.

[maroonmania]

Really big win early in the year. To have dropped that one after the effort Ross Mitchell gave and to have a run stolen from us by the ump would have been killer. Kudos to Mitchell and clutch hitting by Garner.

CT had a really good game. Demarcus got the squeeze down but was robbed by the umpire. Rea started the rally and Pirtle had a good game as well.

[Homedawg]

I'm very concerned that Woodruff is going to end up being this year's Evan Mitchell. Great stuff but doesn't have a clue where its going. Just can't locate his stuff well enough to be truly effective.

There is a big difference between the two, Mitchell missed big. Woodruff doesn't. He needs to trust his stuff and he'll be fine. He hasn't pitched in 2 years w a legit arm. No comparison.

[msstate7]

He's still got a finger issue, right? Probably just want to keep him rested as much as possible. And Mitchell was dealing.

Had no idea holder has an injury issue. I'm working on my new house and I'm certainly not on top of all things msu right now. I'll get back on top of things soon. Thanks for info

[I seen it dawg]

Rumor was he had an infection in his finger. If that's true- some antibiotics can clear that up soon.

And to stay away from that bitch

[Todd4State]

It's a very unusual injury as well, so it's hard to know how the recovery is going to go.

[Todd4State]

And to stay away from that bitch

LOL.

[Dawg61]

Nice win! Ross Mitchell is a GOD!!

[Op4isabitch]

Rumor was he had an infection in his finger. If that's true- some antibiotics can clear that up soon.

I was always told the best thing for a finger infection was to soak it in sider.
