4 pitch leadoff walk

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Blowing towards right bleachers

Detz 0-2

Detz advances runner to 2nd. Out at first

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Wes first pitch flyout to cf. Vick advances to 3rd

Ball hit hard

[CadaverDawg]

Alright Pirtle, how about a clutch 2 out hit right here

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle 1-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle bloop over shortstops head but he makes a dandy play to save the run

[CadaverDawg]

What a damn catch

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Groundout to britton

[CadaverDawg]

he makes a dandy play to save the run

Too much listening to Jim Ellis for ^this^ guy

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Yeah sorry. 32 years of listening to him

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Fitts locating well

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Gavin collins catching

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

2-2 popped foul

[CadaverDawg]

Your feed is way ahead of mine, Ennis. You called that groundout about a minute or 2 before it happened on HailState. Weird

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Nasty breaking pitch gets the K

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I have my own camera feed from green monster

[maroonmania]

What a damn catch

And he actually made it look effortless.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-2-3 inning for fitts

K looking with a nasty hook backdoor

[CadaverDawg]

I'm sorry, but Jim Ellis is just horrible. I want so bad to love his call of the game, but he just doesn't do a good job anymore. On the K, he said, "here's the 2-2 pitch, and Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww he really fooled him on that one". Never even said that he struck him out or that it was called a strike. If I had been listening and not watching I would have thought it was a good looking pitch that was called a ball. So frustrating.

[starkvegasdawg]

Wind has a bite to it. Probably take a rocket launcher to get one out today.

[CadaverDawg]

And he actually made it look effortless.

Yea, he made that look WAY easier than it was. 99 times out of 100, that drops and we're up 1-0

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck lookout!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck Ks looking on a nice pitch

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown shows bunt

So far this Vandy pitcher is looking better than anyone they've pitched this weekend.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Armstrong 2-2

[CadaverDawg]

This guy is tough.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Armstrong just misses a double

armstrong grounds out to 3rd

1-2-3

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Leadoff flyout to left that may have been gone without wind

[blacklistedbully]

Worrisome that Fitts is getting a bunch of flyouts?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Nasty breaking ball to K looking

[CadaverDawg]

Use one word to best describe Trevor's beard....

Go...

[maroonmania]

Fitts looking pretty dang good himself.

[CadaverDawg]

Use one word to best describe Trevor's beard....

Go...

Gross

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

No. Not with wind. Brandon larson couldnt hit it out today

[CadaverDawg]

Worrisome that Fitts is getting a bunch of flyouts?

Naw, not in this wind.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

0-2 on coleman who could have been in the movie Willow

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Ring him up ump!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Coleman looks at another good one. Ump sucks

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Ball 4. Bullshit.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Id steal coleman here

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Big pitch here

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Fitts gets out of it. Groundout to pitcher

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

I got to take a 10 minute break

[CadaverDawg]

Here is Coleman's view from the outfield grass....

[maroonmania]

Good escape there. Fitts got himself into some trouble there off the walk and wild pitch.

[maroonmania]

Here is Coleman's view from the outfield grass....

Honey, I shrunk the outfielder!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Honey, I shrunk the outfielder!!!

Haha, that's what I typed into google to find that picture. "Honey I shrunk the kids"

[CadaverDawg]

1st pitch pop out by Britton

[CadaverDawg]

Base rip by Collins

Line drive into left center

[maroonmania]

Dang, Vick has got to get that upper cut out of his swing.

[CadaverDawg]

Fly out to right by Vickerson.

Not making this guy throw many pitches all the sudden

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Boogity boogity boogity

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Flyout to rf

[CadaverDawg]

Detz with a fly out to right to end the inning.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Leadoff single

Warm up Lingo

[CadaverDawg]

Nope

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

2-2. Runner was moving

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Full count

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Dude hits a bomb to right. Just foul

[CadaverDawg]

They are starting to key in on Fitts. I really think we need to have someone ready in the pen

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

K looking on a questionable call.

Runner goes and collins guns him

2 out

[maroonmania]

Does Collins have a gun or what.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

0-2

[CadaverDawg]

Scratch that!! Strike em out throw em out DP! Welcome back, Collins

[preachermatt83]

Here is Coleman's view from the outfield grass....

http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m627/Disneydisneydisney/pretrip%20report/_DSC0049_zps666a6b99.jpg

I literally LOL'ed.. Good grief that was funny! #garycoleman

[maroonmania]

K looking on a questionable call.

Runner goes and collins guns him

2 out

Hitters should know you can't take a borderline pitch when you already have strike 2 with this ump by now.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Fitts k looking

[MetEdDawg]

Fitts getting out of spots today. This is going to be a fun game. 1 run could win it.

[CadaverDawg]

Just when I think they're getting to Fitts, he steps up and mows em down. I love the way Fitts battles

[CadaverDawg]

Time for a Wes Bomb

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Donkey 3-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Donkey ropes one to left center. Caught

[CadaverDawg]

Wes is hitting ropes today, just right at them

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle 2-2

[CadaverDawg]

How many pitches has this guy thrown? Any idea?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle hit by pitch

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Id say he is around 50

[Will James]

Heck can rope the damn ball.

I don't like the hit and run play.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck ropes a dp to 3b

[CadaverDawg]

Id say he is around 50

I was hoping 60, but you're prolly right

[maroonmania]

Gosh, just not getting any breaks today. If Heck's ball is one more foot to the left it goes down the line and Pirtle probably scores with the running start. Instead its a DP.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Can't blame Heck or Pirtle for that one- that was just a great play.

[starkvegasdawg]

Game starting to get the feel of a 1-0 affair. Both pitchers dealing and ball not carrying at all.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Vandy shows bunt
0-1

[CadaverDawg]

Gosh, just not getting any breaks today. If Heck's ball is one more foot to the left it goes down the line and Pirtle probably scores with the running start. Instead its a DP.

No doubt. We caught some breaks on Fri and Sat...gonna have to straight up out work them today to get the W. First team to score may very well win.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Fitts 2-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Groundout to ss

Crowd filling in. Attendance much better than any year since 2001

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Flyout to right

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-2-3 on flyout to right

[CadaverDawg]

This game is moving along quickly. If we could scratch a run across right here it would be huge

[starkvegasdawg]

Vandy pitcher just threw #61.

[CadaverDawg]

Vandy pitcher just threw #61.

Good deal, thanks.

We need to work this dude this inning and get him out of there

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown groundout to 2nd

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Armstrong robbed by 1b

Why the hell was the 1b playing almost to 2nd?

[starkvegasdawg]

We're playing some major atom ball today.

[CadaverDawg]

Need Hendo in for Brown. Good things happen when Henderson is in the lineup

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Bunky Ks on 3 pitches

[CadaverDawg]

Not exactly the inning I was hoping for.

We only have 1 hit so far. Ouch.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Bunt out to pitcher. Mini me can fly

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Flyout to rf

[CadaverDawg]

Coleman gets eaten up on the bunt attempt

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvtapxzo0c1r0ix14o1_500.gif

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-2-3 inning

Fitts gets flyout to center

Fitts dealing. Great performance.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's get some runs, boys!!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

collins ropes double to leadoff

[CadaverDawg]

Why is Randy getting any playing time, again?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Vickerson shows bunt

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Why is Randy getting any playing time, again?

Bc with ross and preston throwing so many low balls in dirt, he is better at blocking

That is it and all

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Bunts collins to 3rd. Infield in

[Will James]

Don't like that bunt. Play for more than 1.

[CadaverDawg]

Nice job, Vick

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Id walk detz to get dp ball with donkey

[smootness]

Collins is going to be so ridiculously good.

[bully99]

Didn't see that bunt coming**

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Detz 3-0

[Will James]

So glad we bunted..... ****! Just quit meddling John

[bully99]

Cohen is so DAMN PREDICTABLE

[CadaverDawg]

If it was Britton or Armstrong on deck, I would agree Will...but not with Detz on deck. I liked it

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Detz hits to first. Collins caught in rundown. Detz to 2b

[starkvegasdawg]

Piss poor base running there.

[maroonmania]

Boy, we really needed a fly ball from Detz there.

[CadaverDawg]

Yea, that was on Collins, not Cohen

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Donkey misses his pitch to hit. 1-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Donkey grounds out to 3rd to end it

[maroonmania]

EVERY ball we hit on the infield is RIGHT at an infielder.

[CadaverDawg]

Wasted opportunity there. Can't have those and expect to sweep.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Damn, we aren't catching any of those breaks today. Vandy just always seems to have guys right in front of our hard hit balls.

[shoeless joe]

Piss poor base running there.

Huh? I'm listenin on radio but sounded like we were goin in contact versus seeing the ball thru. That is a planned approach not just bad base runnin. He stayed in the run down long enough for detz to get into scoring position so we still need a hit to score. No harm as far as that goes.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Leadoff single

[CadaverDawg]

Get him out of there. It's time. Fitts never goes this long

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Collins loses ball. Runner to 2nd

[CadaverDawg]

Get Fitts out of there, John. Don't ruin a great performance by leaving him in too long. Bring in Lindgren

[CadaverDawg]

We've got an entire bullpen at our disposal. Bring in a strikeout pitcher to get out of this jam.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

3-1 could be fitts last pitch

[CadaverDawg]

3-1 could be fitts last pitch

Should have been last pitch the batter before this

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Single to right. Runners on corners. No outs

[msstate7]

Still can't believe detz blew it. We'll most likely pay for that fail

[maroonmania]

Wasted opportunity there. Can't have those and expect to sweep.

Yep, hate to be defeatist, but blowing that scoring opportunity gives me the sinking feeling we will lose this game. And now Vandy with 1st and 3rd no outs. I would bring in Lindgren.

[bully99]

THAT'S yalls boy John. Doing more dumb managing.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren ready and coming in

[Will James]

Come on Lingo is ready to go. Need K's here bad!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

THAT'S yalls boy John. Doing more dumb managing.

Dude, shut the hell up. You annoy everyone

[CadaverDawg]

Why the **** is Fitts still in the game? You have Lindgren who is a strikeout machine, yet we leave Fittsin too long to ruin a great performance? Why?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Fitts staying in

[CadaverDawg]

THAT'S yalls boy John. Doing more dumb managing.

You're awful. If his poor managing leads us to series wins every weekend, I'm cool with it.

[Joe Schmedlap]

What's the score?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

0-2

[bgdog]

THAT'S yalls boy John. Doing more dumb managing.

Yea that Idiot managed his way into taking the series against #3 Vandy with some of the best pitching in the country.

Now people are disappointed that he might not sweep the #3 team in the country.

What an asshole.

[Will James]

Good K there!!

[msstate7]

Big k. Fitts with a hell of a start

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Strikeout!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Here comes lindgren. Need a strikeout or dp

A gym by fitts

[bully99]

Ennis you're the one who annoys people. Everybody on here is bitching, but you call me out.

[CadaverDawg]

Huge K. Cohen looked pretty good on that decision, eh bully99?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Ennis you're the one who annoys people. Everybody on here is bitching, but you call me out.

Incorrect. We are talking baseball. You are a 5 year old throwing shit against the wall

[CadaverDawg]

Ennis you're the one who annoys people. Everybody on here is bitching, but you call me out.

Because we're bitching about situations, not about the coach in general. You know damn well why people single you out. And if you can't take it, quit posting dumb shit. You obviously love attention...learn how to deal with the negative attention you bring on yourself, is my advice

[smootness]

THAT'S yalls boy John. Doing more dumb managing.

I'm really not joking when I say this - your constant criticisms of Cohen without anything so much as a slight positive is probably the most insane thing I've ever seen on any message board ever. And as you can imagine, that's saying quite a lot.

[msstate7]

Dang. Outsmarted us there

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren with a horrible decision

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Double steal attempt

[maroonmania]

Now if we had done that we would have botched it and everyone would be all over Cohen.

[Will James]

Pirtle picked a good time to drop a ball

[starkvegasdawg]

And we self destruct here in the 7th.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Wow. We pick them off and pirtle drops the damn ball.

[Joe Schmedlap]

Inning and score? I've been working and missed the game up to this point. Thanks.

[msstate7]

Good k lindgren

[smootness]

Lindgren with a horrible decision

Yep. I appreciate the competitiveness, but the runner was scoring there - you have to take the out.

[Will James]

Big K!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren gets the k

[starkvegasdawg]

Inning and score? I've been working and missed the game up to this point. Thanks.
1-0vandy in the 7th.

[shoeless joe]

Corbin's approach in this inning has been identical to what we would have seen from Cohen. Guess he sucks too**

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-0 vandy. 2 down. Runners on corners.

Top 7th

[Joe Schmedlap]

Thanks.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren throwing these dirt balls with collins catching makes me nervous

[starkvegasdawg]

Ok. 9 outs to get the lead and get the sweep

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Groundout to 2nd

[messageboardsuperhero]

Good job to hold them to one run.

[MetEdDawg]

Corbin's approach in this inning has been identical to what we would have seen from Cohen. Guess he sucks too**

But some in our fan base are going to call Cohen crappy because we didn't sweep Vandy or because we might lose 1-0. Shit happens. We can still win this but I can't wait to see how many morons come out and start to call out Cohen if we lose this game 1-0

[Homedawg]

Pirtle picked a good time to drop a ball

Yea he dropped it but the guy was going to be safe at third anyway. Your boy shouldn't have thrown it. He should have run right at him.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Lindgren def made 2 bad decisions in the inning but it ended up not costing us

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle 3-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Pirtle leadoff walk after 0-2

[CadaverDawg]

Alright, here's our chance

[Will James]

95 MPH on the warmup pitches

80 MPH off speed

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Another new pitcher

[Will James]

Yea he dropped it but the guy was going to be safe at third anyway. Your boy shouldn't have thrown it. He should have run right at him.

You are high but glad I'm still living rent free in your dome

[Will James]

First pitch 97. Gas

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Need wills boy to connect

[Homedawg]

You are high but glad I'm still living rent free in your dome

So he shouldn't have run at him? Further proof your an idiot

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck 1-1

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Looks like heck hbp but it hit handle of bat???

[PMDawg]

So he shouldn't have run at him? Further proof your an idiot

You're.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck lazy fly. Swung at ball 3

[Will James]

So he shouldn't have run at him? Further proof your an idiot

He was 25 feet off the bag you idiot. A simple catch by Pirtle guarantees an out. Running at him makes a CLOSE play back at second. You reach for anything and look retarded.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown 0-2

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown Ks looking

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

This guy is nasty

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Armstrong check swing. Out at first

[CadaverDawg]

Ugly

[Homedawg]

He was 25 feet off the bag you idiot. A simple catch by Pirtle guarantees an out. Running at him makes a CLOSE play back at second. You reach for anything and look retarded.

25 ft? On tv maybe. Not at the game bro. U still are crickets from earlier thread. Try making up more shit.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

95 MPH on the warmup pitches

80 MPH off speed
This pitcher is really really good. It's gonna be tough getting even 1 off him

[CadaverDawg]

I'm a little surprised we didn't try to play small ball there with a 1-0 deficit and the beast on the mound. Sound have probably tried to cause some chaos by bunting Brown and/or Armstrong to make that guy cannon one past the first baseman.

Hindsight is 20/20 though

[Will James]

Speed demon was gonna be safe. Need 2 here

[smootness]

He was 25 feet off the bag you idiot. A simple catch by Pirtle guarantees an out. Running at him makes a CLOSE play back at second. You reach for anything and look retarded.

No, he's right on this. Running at the runner is the right move. You make the runner commit, then throw it ahead of him, not behind him. Even if Pirtle had caught that, it would have been a close play at 3rd.

[Homedawg]

He was 25 feet off the bag you idiot. A simple catch by Pirtle guarantees an out. Running at him makes a CLOSE play back at second. You reach for anything and look retarded.

I can see where a guy whose closest baseball playing is on an xbox would know!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Heck makes an error

Leadoff runner on

They call it a hit?

[Homedawg]

No, he's right on this. Running at the runner is the right move. You make the runner commit, then throw it ahead of him, not behind him. Even if Pirtle had caught that, it would have been a close play at 3rd.

Trying to convince him? Good luck

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

No. Will has a chart that says otherwise. Anyone that has played little league knows you run at him

[Will James]

25 ft? On tv maybe. Not at the game bro. U still are crickets from earlier thread. Try making up more shit.

Rent free

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Vandy steals second

[bully99]

There's a handful on here that think they are experts and so much smarter than everybody else. Nobody can have a different opinion. Pathetic.

[Vandelaydawg]

You are high but glad I'm still living rent free in your dome

His lord of all Lindy gives up an inherited runner on a bunt. The asylum must be scrambling

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Infield single. Runner on corners. No outs

[Will James]

No. Will has a chart that says otherwise. Anyone that has played little league knows you run at him

If Pirtle catches a ball he's out.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

There's a handful on here that think they are experts and so much smarter than everybody else. Nobody can have a different opinion. Pathetic.

You bring nothing to the discussion. You just bitch at cohen. You probably wanted raffo

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

He is out but that doesnt mean that is how you play the play. Have you ever played baseball?

[MarketingBully01]

25 ft? On tv maybe. Not at the game bro. U still are crickets from earlier thread. Try making up more shit.

Dude, that would have been an easy catch for Pirtle. He screwed it up. Even our announcers said if Pirtle catches the ball it's an easy out in a run down. Will James is correct here. Our defense is screwing us between Heck, Pirtle, and Collins twice. They have done more to manufacture these runs then Vandy. But we took 2 out of 3 so that is a good.

[smootness]

If Pirtle catches a ball he's out.

Definitely not a guarantee. And if Lindgren runs at him, he's out.

[Will James]

His lord of all Lindy gives up an inherited runner on a bunt. The asylum must be scrambling

You would have brought in someone else?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Need a k here

[MarketingBully01]

Sigh, figures. I guess Bart and Jim and my eyes are wrong too Homedog and Smoot....

[Will James]

Definitely not a guarantee. And if Lindgren runs at him, he's out.

No... He wasn't THAT far off. He immediately turns runs and dives back into 2nd making a CLOSER play than if Pirtle catches the ball and throws it to Britton getting him out by 30 feet. What about that do you morons not understand.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Nice K!

[CadaverDawg]

Lets face it....our lack of being able to hit the studs they've pitched today is where we will lose this if we lose it. Tip your cap to their staff today if we lose, and say we took 2 of 3 from the #3 team in the country.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

We have 2 hits today. Both by collins

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Need another good pitch
