State vs the Nasty Bunch game thread

[Coach34]

Bracewell with 2 K's so far

[Coach34]

6-4-3 DP to end the 2nd...good job Heck

[messageboardsuperhero]

1-0 Dawgs.

Armstrong scores on a Collins single + error by left fielder.

[rcsteph1]

I'm trying to get the game on TuneIn radio...

[jbjones]

I'm trying to get the game on TuneIn radio...

You likely won't; I've noticed where you'll hear the regular programming on TuneIn, and the Web (if their site offers a stream). However, terristial radio is the MSU game feed. Frustrating.

[messageboardsuperhero]

1-0 State going to the top of the 3rd.

[TippahDawg]

I'm listening to the game on TuneIn on WMXI out of Hattiesburg

[rcsteph1]

You likely won't; I've noticed where you'll hear the regular programming on TuneIn, and the Web (if their site offers a stream). However, terristial radio is the MSU game feed. Frustrating.

Finally found one that worked for me. It is WRKS The Zone in Jackson if you wanna give it a try

[MarketingBully01]

1-0 State going to the top of the 3rd.

Two pop outs by our trusty pop out lead off king Vick. He is DH'ing? That is literally the dumbest move Cohen has done since he got here.

[Coach34]

105.9thezone.com not carrying it?

[rcsteph1]

105.9thezone.com not carrying it?

That's where I found it on Tunein

[jbjones]

I've got it locally, I just like to use TuneIn sometimes. Thanks. And thanks to TippahDawg for the confirmation. I've never been able to find it via TuneIn.

[rcsteph1]

I've got it locally, I just like to use TuneIn sometimes. Thanks. And thanks to TippahDawg for the confirmation. I've never been able to find it via TuneIn.

Gotcha. I'm in Birmingham. Tunein has been pretty good to me over the wknd while I was away from tv, and again tonight. I don't know why haven't thought to use it before this past weekend.

[messageboardsuperhero]

1-0 State going to the bottom of the third.

[rcsteph1]

We need to see some bats wake up...

[rcsteph1]

Pirtle HBP on first with one out

[messageboardsuperhero]

2-0 State. CT gets an RBI single. Still in the bottom of the third.

[rcsteph1]

CT singles up middle to score Pirtle from second 2-0 Bullies. with 2 outs

[messageboardsuperhero]

We need to see some bats wake up...

We've been hitting balls hard tonight. Looking good so far.

[I seen it dawg]

What's the lineup?

[messageboardsuperhero]

2-0 State going to the top of the 4th. Heck gets a hit, but CT makes a base running mistake and runs State out of the inning.

[rcsteph1]

What did Bradford do.... evidently took too big of a turn. Baserunning errors hurt

[rcsteph1]

We've been hitting balls hard tonight. Looking good so far.

That's good to hear. They were absent over the wknd.

[Lefthandersrule]

As Jim is talking up CT he gets caught off the base for the final out.

[Coach34]

What's the lineup?

Rea hitting 4th...Collins catching

[DudyDawg]

Is the game on hailstate tv?

[rcsteph1]

Vickerson DH
Detz 3b
Pirtle 2b
Rea 1b
Bradford LF
Heck SS
Armstrong CF
Collins C
Brown RF

[Lefthandersrule]

No HailState radio

[rcsteph1]

I'll tell ya one thing i've noticed tonight these commercials on tunein are almost half of the inning. it wasn't like that over the wknd

[Coach34]

shit...2-2

[messageboardsuperhero]

USM ties it 2-2.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Collins guns down a runner. Star in the making.

2-2 going to the bottom of the fourth.

[rcsteph1]

Collins throws hm out at 2nd

[Coach34]

Collins keep throwing runners out...Randolph keeps catching on weekends

#Cohening

[messageboardsuperhero]

Collins with another single that was close to being a double. He is by far our best catcher.

Bulldogs on 1st and 2nd with nobody out.

[rcsteph1]

Vickerson up with bases loaded

[messageboardsuperhero]

Vickerson grounds into a double play, but State scores. 3-2 State.

[rcsteph1]

And he hits into a DP but scores Armstrong

[CadaverDawg]

Collins keep throwing runners out...Randolph keeps catching on weekends

#Cohening

Haha so true

[messageboardsuperhero]

3-2 State going to the top of the 5th.

We should have gotten more than one run there...

[MarketingBully01]

Vickerson grounds into a double play, but State scores. 3-2 State.

So the time when if he pops up he doesn't hurt us as bad but no he has to hit a made to order double play. He is just not our lead off guy. He just isn't.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Woodruff coming out to pitch now... Very interesting...

[chainedup_Dawg]

And bringing in Woody ??

[mathistondawg]

I wish they would Tele vickerson from lead off

[maroonmania]

Everything is tough sledding for this team. Its bad enough we have so much trouble hitting enough to score runs but we have a senior giving away outs on the basepaths. I don't care if the SEC competition does lighten a little after this weekend, if you are only scoring 3 to 4 runs per game EVERY game will be close and difficult.

[Coach34]

Woody got some confidence- keep running him out there

[messageboardsuperhero]

1-2-3 inning for Woody.

Just based on what I can infer, it sounds like Woody changed his fastball a little bit to sacrifice some velocity to give him better movement and location. Maybe changed the grip and went to more of a two-seamer? I don't know, but he has been really really good lately.

[whosyourdawgy]

He's still hitting 94 on the gun so he hasn't lost too much velocity

[messageboardsuperhero]

Another damn base running error. Pirtle gets thrown out at 3rd.

[Lefthandersrule]

More of a cut fastball for Woody. More of a get over strike.

[messageboardsuperhero]

My biggest issue with this team right now is that we have guys that are supposed to be seasoned veterans who continue to make very dumb mental errors- both at the plate and on the base paths. It's very frustrating.

3-2 State going to the top of the 6th.

[Coach34]

1-2-3 inning for Woody.

Just based on what I can infer, it sounds like Woody changed his fastball a little bit to sacrifice some velocity to give him better movement and location. Maybe changed the grip and went to more of a two-seamer? I don't know, but he has been really really good lately.

He looked like he has some real 2 seam action on the ball Friday

[Bucky Dog]

Vickerson!! He is not getting it done

[DudyDawg]

So I guess if woody is going to start this weekend that means it'll be fitts Friday and Ross Saturday

[Martianlander]

So I guess if woody is going to start this weekend that means it'll be fitts Friday and Ross Saturday

Not a bad rotation.

[messageboardsuperhero]

3-2 State going to the bottom of the 6th.

It sounded like Woodruff wasn't quite as sharp that inning, but he still got out unscathed.

[Harrydawg]

Woody will be ready to roll Sat or Sunday, love this move to get him some innings!

I think he is close to being what we hoped he'd be!

[Lefthandersrule]

I agree. We need to see what's up with Brown first.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Okay, runner at 3rd with one out. We have got to score in these situations.

[Homedawg]

Will James where are you. Bc it's close to lindgren time. Like now.

[messageboardsuperhero]

And of course we screw it up...

[Big4Dawg]

What happened?

[messageboardsuperhero]

Those were the situations we capitalized on when we were winning- that's how we have to score, and when we don't execute in those situations, we're in trouble.

3-2 State going to the top of the 7th.

[messageboardsuperhero]

What happened?

Runner thrown out at home on a ground ball in the infield.

[maroonmania]

Never seen an MSU team struggle so mightily just to get a run across the plate even when the other team is trying to gift wrap it for them.

[messageboardsuperhero]

3-2 State going to the bottom of the 7th.

Woody's had to go to the stretch in each of the last two innings and has looked pretty good in it- good sign.

[maroonmania]

And when we don't bunt we hit into an inning killing double play.

[messageboardsuperhero]

3-2 going to the top of the 8th.

Our situational hitting is just horrendous right now.

[DudyDawg]

Woody only threw 50 pitches so be certainly would be able to start on Sunday. Or if Preston feels better, he could see Sunday start with woody and lindy being used out of pen. Lot of options for us right now in the rotation

[messageboardsuperhero]

Tie game. ****.

[Homedawg]

Woody only threw 50 pitches so be certainly would be able to start on Sunday. Or if Preston feels better, he could see Sunday start with woody and lindy being used out of pen. Lot of options for us right now in the rotation

Preston had an MRI. Don't look for him.

[ShotgunDawg]

I would not start Woody. He is getting his feet underneath him in the pen, and is eating quality innings. Later in the season I would look to possibly start him, but, for now, we need to stick with what is working. With Woodruff and Lindgren piggy backing on 2 out of 3 games on the weekend, we stand a good chance.

[messageboardsuperhero]

There's no excuse for this to be a tie game right now. We should have at least three more runs right now.

[maroonmania]

The other teams we play seem to have no trouble, just a HBP, a walk and one lousy single and they have a run.

[msstate7]

Come on southern walk 4 in a row

[maroonmania]

There's no excuse for this to be a tie game right now. We should have at least three more runs right now.

Agreed, we have 10 hits and 0 errors and we are freakin' tied with a team with 6 hits and 3 errors.

[maroonmania]

Nobody should be surprised if we lose the series to OM this weekend. We are so offensively challenged its ridiculous.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Agreed, we have 10 hits and 0 errors and we are freakin' tied with a team with 6 hits and 3 errors.

That's flat out embarrassing. We have zero situational hitting right now.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 9th.

[CadaverDawg]

Lindgren is straight filth.

We need Collins to reach base, then a Hendo sac bunt, then a game winning single. Boom.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, 3 feet from a walk off bomb

[CadaverDawg]

Henderson should NEVER see the bench. Ever

[DownwardDawg]

Henderson should NEVER see the bench. Ever

What's happening???

[CadaverDawg]

Henderson is twice the player Armstrong is. People's infatuation with Armstrong over Henderson is mind boggling to me

[CadaverDawg]

What's happening???

Collins hits a foul bomb, then pops up.

Henderson battles and draws a walk.

Man on 1st with one out.

3-0 count on Vick

[CadaverDawg]

Walks Vickerson.

Men on 1st and 2nd in the bottom of 9th, 1 out, Detz at the plate

[CadaverDawg]

Delete

[maroonmania]

I personally think its Armstrong and Henderson over Vick myself. I would put Armstrong and Henderson as 1 and 2 in the order if it was up to me especially against a left hander.

[msstate7]

Detz's last 2 at bats have been bad

[CadaverDawg]

Detz pops out in foul territory. Jesus, we are awful. Great approach Alex

[CadaverDawg]

Soft line out by Pirtle.

Going to the 10th

[maroonmania]

And that is why we suck donkey balls right now. 2 chances to get a walk off hit from our 3 and 4 slot hitters and we get 2 pop ups.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Going to extras. We get two on base with just one out and once again find a way to screw it up.

[CadaverDawg]

Guy walks Henderson, then walks Vick on 4 straight, and then Detz and Pirtle swing at the first damn pitch.

[msstate7]

Guy walks Henderson, then walks Vick on 4 straight, and then Detz and Pirtle swing at the first damn pitch.

Senior leadership baby

[CadaverDawg]

Our defense will have to get a safety to win this ****er. I'm starting to lose my patience with this offense. And I've got tons of patience with Cohen.

[Original48]

From the misery loves company department...Unlv 10 Ark 6 in the 8th

[CadaverDawg]

Lindgren ANOTHER K.

[maroonmania]

I'm certainly losing a TON of confidence in Cohen as a hitting coach. Almost all of our returning starters have regressed at the plate from last year.

[CJDAWG85]

Detz needs to sit. He just isn't the same hitter without Renfroe behind him.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen is taking out Lindgren? Bringing in Holder

[messageboardsuperhero]

Guy walks Henderson, then walks Vick on 4 straight, and then Detz and Pirtle swing at the first damn pitch.

That's exactly what I was talking about with regard to veterans making stupid mistakes. Detz and Pirtle should know better than to swing at the first pitch in that situation from a guy who can't find the zone.

[CadaverDawg]

I guess we've decided to save Lindgren for the weekend, but this is an important game. I won't be surprised if they rip Holder.

[CadaverDawg]

Holder with a K.

14 K's tonight and we're tied

[CadaverDawg]

Pop out to end the inning.

Heading to bottom of 10th.

[Lefthandersrule]

Come on Dawgs!!!!!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Why in the name of hell did we DH Vickerson and have Henserson on the bench to start this game?

I'm really starting to wonder if Cohen just throws darts at a roster to make the lineup

[maroonmania]

Good gracious, Wes Rea is becoming an automatic K.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Rea with yet another K. Dear lord, his slump is our biggest offensive issue right now, IMO.

[msstate7]

Sick of rea. He is killing this team. We count on him and he's the easiest out on the team save britton

[CadaverDawg]

Rea sucks

[CadaverDawg]

At this point, I'm wondering which Rea/Ray sucks worse at MSU.*

[CadaverDawg]

Bradford grounds out. 2 down

[msstate7]

Rea sucks

Yes he does. Cohen sucks for not sitting his fat butt too

[messageboardsuperhero]

We are anemic right now. Going to the top of the 11th.

[CadaverDawg]

Heck with a K

[maroonmania]

Maybe LSU's pitching wasn't as great last weekend as we thought. We just totally suck on offense.

[CadaverDawg]

For the love of God, pinch hit Garner or Humphreys!!!! Collins is a Freshman and he's one of our best bats right now. Bench these worthless veterans until they get their heads out of their asses!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Holder with a K.

15 K's for our staff tonight.

This feels like the baseball version of the 3-2 football game

[messageboardsuperhero]

We have scored 19 runs in the last 8 games- 2.375 runs/game. It just seems like everyone is in a terrible slump right now.

[CadaverDawg]

Unfortunately, defense can't score in baseball

[CadaverDawg]

Heading to the bottom of the 11th.

Collins and Henderson will be up this inning, so now's our chance. It's a shame that I look forward to 8 and 9 to come up in the order bc they're better than the heart of the order. So many things wrong with that

[Dawg61]

Score a run!!!

[Bully13]

ok, just tuned in, this sux

[msstate7]

CD... Your boy got on

[CadaverDawg]

Armstrong walks to leadoff

[Dawg61]

How much trouble would we get in if we just bought a bunch of MLB bats and used them instead of these shit metal bats? Start a revolution MSU!!

[DudyDawg]

Armstrong, Hendu, Collins. Sounds like a good 1-2-3 to have start the game to me right now

[CadaverDawg]

CD... Your boy got on

Every time in talk bad about DA he plays well, so I'll continue. Ha.

My boy Henderson will come through with the game winner though...watch. HenduTheClutch

[CadaverDawg]

Armstrong, Hendu, Collins. Sounds like a good 1-2-3 to have start the game to me right now

Yep!

[messageboardsuperhero]

Runner on 2nd with no outs- here's our shot.

[CadaverDawg]

Hell yea, a balk! Armstrong to 2nd

[starkvegasdawg]

Bunt him to 3rd?

[messageboardsuperhero]

Why are we bunting with Collins? He's been our best hitter.

And with Armstrong on 2nd, he likely scores on a base hit either way.

[CadaverDawg]

Bunt him to 3rd?

The way we're hitting, I let Collins and his hot bat hit

[msstate7]

How much trouble would we get in if we just bought a bunch of MLB bats and used them instead of these shit metal bats? Start a revolution MSU!!

If we're willing to get in trouble, sneak in some of those old ones

[Pollodawg]

I wanted to believe, but damn if we just aint that good.

[Coach34]

Why are we bunting with Collins? He's been our best hitter.

And with Armstrong on 2nd, he likely scores on a base hit either way.

#Cohening

[CadaverDawg]

Sac bunt, Armstrong to 3rd.

Hendu will get it done.

[DudyDawg]

I'm guessing they will walk Hendu

[msstate7]

Vick up. K or popup?

[CadaverDawg]

Intentionally walking Henderson

[CadaverDawg]

They will walk Vick too, to set up the force at any bag

[DownwardDawg]

Vick up. K or popup?

DP

[msstate7]

Bases loaded for detz.

[msstate7]

Detz gonna rip a hit here

[starkvegasdawg]

Safety squeeze?

[CadaverDawg]

If anybody can screw this up, it's this team. Detz will bat with the bases juiced and 1 out. If we blow this, I'm going to bed

[DudyDawg]

I would've pitched to Vick. He woulda screwed it up for us

[Original48]

You like the bunt?? Then keep bunting!! SUICIDE SQUEEZE BITCH!!

[CadaverDawg]

Just hit a sac fly, Detz. We should be good at this the way we fly out all the damn time

[DudyDawg]

Detz walk of grand slam calling it now

[CadaverDawg]

Sad to say, but I hope they walk Detz. May be our only shot

[CadaverDawg]

0-2 count already to Detz

[messageboardsuperhero]

Wow, thanks for handing us the game on a silver platter USM. Walk off wild pitch. Dawgs win.

[DudyDawg]

Wild pitch walk off. Seems about right

[CadaverDawg]

Wild pitch!!! We win!! Hahaha

[mstatefan91]

Wild pitch. Game over

[CadaverDawg]

I figured they would have to lose it, bc we weren't gonna win it

[SignalToNoise]

Sad to say, but I hope they walk Detz. May be our only shot

Wild pitch. Close enough.

[Martianlander]

Again-thanks for the thread guys.

[Dawg61]

Win is a win!!
