State vs BearSharks- Game 2

[Coach34]

C'mon Fitts

[mstatefan91]

Why is Fox Sports South showing the Cardinals game? Aren't we supposed to be on that channel?

[Coach34]

Jesus Cohen- Britton hits the ball well yesterday and you reward him with a seat on the bench. How about sitting Detz's sorry ass?

[Coach34]

Sac bunt in the 1st inning. **** I hate college baseball right now

[Coach34]

Men on 1st and 2nd- no outs...and we give them an out on a bunt.

[mstatefan91]

Sucks that college baseball doesn't reward power hitting

[mstatefan91]

Men on 1st and 2nd- no outs...and we give them an out on a bunt.

We scored. Chill out

[Coach34]

Why is Fox Sports South showing the Cardinals game? Aren't we supposed to be on that channel?

It's on for me

[starkvegasdawg]

Had we not bunted we would not have scored that inning more than likely.

[CadaverDawg]

We scored. Chill out

How? I'm counting on you guys today

[mstatefan91]

It's on for me

Yeah I was on the wrong channel. Apparently, there is a regular FSS and a FSS for Cardinals baseball.

[mstatefan91]

How? I'm counting on you guys today

First two runners on. Sac bunt to advance the runners to 2nd and third. Sac fly by Rea to bring in a run.

[starkvegasdawg]

Have to say I like the unis. Maybe someone can sneak in the locker room and burn the Astros version.

[Coach34]

Fitts gives up a 2 out double to Right center

[mstatefan91]

Two outs. One man on 2nd for TSUN in top of 2nd

[mstatefan91]

Get out of the inning on a fly out. No damage done

[Coach34]

line out to CT to end the inning

Dawgs coming up B2....1-0

[mstatefan91]

lead off single by Armstrong

[mstatefan91]

Great we are bunting Hendu....

[Diggs]

Win or lose... crowd looks damn good on TV.

Team seems to be feeding off it as well.

[mstatefan91]

Never mind. In field single. TSUN gets the out at 2nd

[Coach34]

CT lines out to CF

2 out

[mstatefan91]

CT lines out. Hendu on first. Two outs. Humphries up to the plate

[mstatefan91]

Stupid bats

[mstatefan91]

End of 2. 1-0 Good guys

[mstatefan91]

3 up 3 down. On to the bottom of the third

[Coach34]

Fitts looking good- 3 up-3 down

[Coach34]

Heck lines out to LF. We are at least hitting the ball hard

[mstatefan91]

Detz with a single

[Coach34]

Detz groundball single to RF

[Coach34]

Pirtle bloop hit to CF- 1st and 2nd- 1 out

[mstatefan91]

Pirtle with a single. Guys on first and second with 1 out and Rea up to bat

[mstatefan91]

Rea is gonna get pitched around this time

[Coach34]

Fatboy flys out down the RF line- 2 out

[mstatefan91]

Not sure why Detz didn't advance to third there

[Diggs]

RF for Ole Miss getting in a good workout early.

[Coach34]

Collins single to RF- Detz scores- 2-0

[mstatefan91]

Good guys up 2-0 on Collins single

[maroonmania]

Collins with a clutch hit. Picking up the slack for Rea.

[mstatefan91]

Bases loaded. 2 outs

Armstrong hitting everything thrown to him

[Coach34]

Armstrong single to RF- bases juiced

[maroonmania]

Dang, Armstrong with ANOTHER hit but we can't score Pirtle. It was the smart move though because Pirtle would have been dead at the plate.

[mstatefan91]

Bull shit

[Coach34]

Hendu K's

2-0 headed to 4th

[maroonmania]

Too much to ask for 3 hits in a row I guess. Hendo Ks. Sad part was that strikes 2 and 3 were in the dirt.

[Coach34]

6 hits thru 3 innings for us today- all singles of course

[Coach34]

pop-up to CT- 1 out

[Coach34]

single to CF on 1-2...1 on- 1 out

[maroonmania]

6 hits thru 3 innings for us today- all singles of course

One thing that will make it tough for us to score much on OM with just some singles is that so far their pitchers throw strikes and they aren't kicking it around in the field. We really need walks, HBP and errors to score much at this point.

[mstatefan91]

Now I like the stupid bats

[Harrydawg]

Who called Armstrong to be our best hitter this season? Raise your hand.

[maroonmania]

Wooooh, I thought that one was gone. Would have been anywhere but Dudy Noble.

[Coach34]

Flyout to warning track- Hendu grabs it. 2 out

[Coach34]

Pirtle error...1st and 2nd- 2 outs

[mstatefan91]

E4 should be out of the inning..

[Coach34]

line out to Armstrong in LF- headed to B4- 2-0 Cohen over Bianco

[Harrydawg]

Fly out to left end of inning.....whew ww

[Coach34]

Humphreys hits a bullet off the pitcher who grabs it and throws him out. Humphreys has hit the ball hard twice with nothing to show for it

[Coach34]

Heck K's...headed to T5....2-0

[Coach34]

Single up the middle...Heck almost made a great play on it

Leadoff man on

[Coach34]

Here comes Lindgren

[BulldogBear]

I don't know why but I thought this game was later. I work till 5:30pm. Told my wife we were gonna watch it together. Ooops. Be watching Vikings on DVR I guess. Sounds like we're doing okay.

[Coach34]

Lindgren's bill is so flat he must iron it

[Coach34]

and a K

1 out

[starkvegasdawg]

Didn't thinks Fitts doing too bad. Thought he may have gone a little longer.

[Coach34]

Detz shows why he aint Britton- infield hit...1st and 2nd- 1 out

[Coach34]

Didn't thinks Fitts doing too bad. Thought he may have gone a little longer.

Fitts was on borrowed time- I like the move

[mstatefan91]

That has to be an out

[Coach34]

High chopper to Rea- runner beats the throw with Lindy covering

bases juiced- 1 out

[maroonmania]

Tough call but a bad one. Lindgren's left foot WAS on the bag with the ball before the runner at 1st.

[mstatefan91]

And we are having a meltdown... Typical

[Coach34]

Thats why you have to play Britton- we are in a jam cause Detz couldnt make a play

[Coach34]

wild pitch- 2-1

[maroonmania]

This team is truly snakebit. We absolutely cannot do anything right.

[maroonmania]

One hit for OM and this one is over. We've already got our 2 runs for the game.

[msstate7]

Good grief

[mstatefan91]

Get him out

[Coach34]

groundout to Pirtle- 2-2...man on 3rd...2 outs

[mstatefan91]

Tied at 2. Joy. This is like watching little league

[Coach34]

line out to CT...headed to B5- 2-2

[mstatefan91]

End of the inning. Thankfully

Edit: Top of inning. You knew what I meant...

[maroonmania]

I really won't mind when this season is over. This team is very painful to try and watch. We can't hit and then we have some of the worst luck in the field of any team I've ever seen. Just like last weekend with the one game at LSU that we had a chance to win we lose it on a misplay in the field. OM should not have even scored that inning but got 2 to tie us up.

[MarketingBully01]

Good grief

This team is one of the worst about concentrating. Sure, we got screwed by the ump on the call at first but Will's boy Lindgren has to hold on to the damn ball there. Hopefully that settles him down because he is looking like he had a late night on the town last night. Terrible terrible defensive and pitching inning. Detz proved that inning that he is not a third baseman. I would either play Humphreys or Britton there exclusively.

[DapperDawg]

They got 2 runs on hits that never left the infield. Face it, guys, this is a below average baseball team. Same song, different verse.

[mstatefan91]

And another single by Detz

[MarketingBully01]

Worst luck in the field? We have errored at least twice as many times as they have called errors on us. Our score keeper has to be one of the worst about deciding what is a hit and what is an error. No way our fielding percentage should be as high as it is.

[mstatefan91]

They got 2 runs on hits that never left the infield. Face it, guys, this is a below average baseball team. Same song, different verse.

Below average? No.
Below the standard that we have grown accustomed to? Yes.

Another single by Pirtle. Two on, no outs

[maroonmania]

This team is one of the worst about concentrating. Sure, we got screwed by the ump on the call at first but Will's boy Lindgren has to hold on to the damn ball there. Hopefully that settles him down because he is looking like he had a late night on the town last night. Terrible terrible defensive and pitching inning. Detz proved that inning that he is not a third baseman. I would either play Humphreys or Britton there exclusively.

Its everything, Detz being uncoordinated, bad call at first, wild pitch but one we could have gotten an out on if we catch the ball at home. Unreal.

[Coach34]

Pirtle singles...1st and 2nd- no outs

[maroonmania]

Rea just can't get a clutch hit.

[Coach34]

Rea pops up to 2nd...1 out

[MarketingBully01]

And Rea pops out....

[msstate7]

Should've bunted Wes. I'd rather have Collins with 2nd and 3rd than Wes 1st and 2nd

[MarketingBully01]

We have to score at least 5 runs to win this game. That would take a little pressure off Lindgren.

[msstate7]

We are the least clutch team like ever

[mstatefan91]

Single, single, pop up, pop up. I predict a strike out here to end the inning...

Edit: It is Armstrong.. Could be wrong

[maroonmania]

Damn, Collins pops up a ball at his shoulders. First 2 on and it looks like we won't even score.

[Coach34]

Collins fouls out

[MarketingBully01]

This lineup is shit at times. Two pop outs with runners on first and second. You has to put some power in this lineup or we won't win too many series the rest of the way.

[Coach34]

Armstrong fouls out...inning over

[MarketingBully01]

Two on no one out and three pop ups. Just shit.

[mstatefan91]

I was wrong. Another pop up ends it..

[msstate7]

Garbage

[MarketingBully01]

The thing I don't understand the most about today is we are playing station to station baseball. No hit and runs no stealing no bunting people over. This is shit baseball right now.

[DapperDawg]

Single, single, pop up, pop up. I predict a strike out here to end the inning...

Edit: It is Armstrong.. Could be wrong

If you expect that, you see the writing on the wall.

[MarketingBully01]

I don't understand this team. We are built on defense and pitching right? But our defense has some lapses that will lose us some games and our pitching this weekend has been just average. Add our lineup woes and we are a cluster **** of a team right now.

[msstate7]

I don't understand this team. We are built on defense and pitching right? But our defense has some lapses that will lose us some games and our pitching this weekend has been just average. Add our lineup woes and we are a cluster **** of a team right now.

This team is a mess. We have no identity at all.

[maroonmania]

I seriously don't know if we will score again. :(

[msstate7]

I seriously don't know if we will score again. :(

Rea killed all momentum. Trent was on the ropes and we let him off the hook. Rea has to advance runners at the very least, but of course he didnt

[MarketingBully01]

We have no power and we aren't moving runners around. We aren't stealing bases attempting hit and runs so in order to score 1 run you have to put together 4-5 hits. It's the most rediculous thing I have seen.

[maroonmania]

I don't understand this team. We are built on defense and pitching right? But our defense has some lapses that will lose us some games and our pitching this weekend has been just average. Add our lineup woes and we are a cluster **** of a team right now.

Yep, we made 4 screw-ups for them to get their 2 runs all in the same inning. We are just a very shaky team right now.

[MarketingBully01]

We better hope Lindgren follows that shit inning with the outing of his life. If we win, we will win 3-2 in extra innings.

[maroonmania]

We have no power and we aren't moving runners around. We aren't stealing bases attempting hit and runs so in order to score 1 run you have to put together 4-5 hits. It's the most rediculous thing I have seen.

Armstrong has been getting on base a ton and is the fastest guy in the league but we rarely straight steal him.

[msstate7]

Lindgren makes me nervous. I hate it when he's on the mound

[maroonmania]

And we gift OM with another base runner.

[msstate7]

And we gift OM with another base runner.

They gift us an out. Good deal

[maroonmania]

Lindgren makes me nervous. I hate it when he's on the mound

I agree, never feels like he is in control of the situation.

[MarketingBully01]

Heading to the bottom of the 7th tied 2-2. Let's see how many hits it takes for us to even threaten....

[MarketingBully01]

What is the deal with all of the freaking pop ups?

[msstate7]

Another pop up. Our hitters make me sick

[maroonmania]

We seriously make EVERY pitcher we face look like an All-American.

[MarketingBully01]

Armstrong needs to lead off period. Please put him in that spot tomorrow Cohen

[MarketingBully01]

Detz walks, Pirtle at the plate.

[MarketingBully01]

Pop up again?!?!?!?!?!

[mstatefan91]

Another pop up

[maroonmania]

All you have to really do to look like an All-American pitcher against us is to throw strikes. That's it.

[MarketingBully01]

Rea is 1-22???? Talk about shit.

[msstate7]

Will Wes k or pop up? Drama...

[Bucky Dog]

All 28 hits in our last three games are singles!

[Diggs]

Will Wes k or pop up? Drama...

I'm going pop up

[msstate7]

All 28 hits in our last three games are singles!

Always hated PEDs in baseball, but someone please juice our team

[mstatefan91]

Rea with a huge walk!!!!!!!111!!!!

[MarketingBully01]

2 on 2 out Collins batting and Ole Miss with a pitching change.

[maroonmania]

Maybe its back to the Polk philosophy, our home crowds just put too much pressure on our players for them to be able to perform properly.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Will Wes k or pop up? Drama...

He'll flip his bat through the zone almost before the catcher catches it on ball 4. I'm waiting for the umpire to call that a swinging strike. OM's dugout certainly wanted it.

[MarketingBully01]

Our team is using PDD (Performance De-enhancing Drugs).

[MarketingBully01]

Yeah, I thought he threw his bat a little too early and it does look like he swings at it.

[mstatefan91]

Bases loaded 2 outs. Come on Armstrong

[maroonmania]

Please walk another one!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

It's infuriating how many fastballs we watch go down the middle of the plate for strike one.

[MarketingBully01]

Pop ups pop ups pop ups....

[maroonmania]

Crap, no joy in watching this team. Lazy fly ball leaves the bases juiced.

[msstate7]

Stranded 10. Can we please recruit hitters that can hit one in the gap every now and then?

[starkvegasdawg]

We have to lead college baseball in number of runners stranded.

[MarketingBully01]

This team has to be the "least clutch" of all time. We have loaded the bases twice this game with shit to show for it.

[HailState39110]

You wonder if Armstrong didn't have the green light to swing at that 1-0 pitch because it was served up and he sat and watched it

[msstate7]

We have to lead college baseball in number of runners stranded.

I bet we do lead the nation in % of total hits being singles.

[MarketingBully01]

Lindgren's and our defense brain fart of an inning is the difference in this game.

[Bucky Dog]

Hump will knock in the winning run. I'm calling it!

[MarketingBully01]

What do you want to bet Genius match ups guy since the relief pitcher is right handed will start doing his match ups bull shit next inning for us.

[MarketingBully01]

If he bats. Genius Cohen will probably pinch hit for him.

[MarketingBully01]

Take Lindgren out....

[Coach34]

hit and a walk- 2 runners on with 1 out in the 8th

[msstate7]

Hope holder has it today

[Coach34]

Here comes Holder

[MarketingBully01]

Lindgren didn't really have it. That kid has to come out there and be on instead of taking 2-3 batters to calm down. If we lose, he should get the loss. He has to pitch better then he showed today especially if we are going to score 2 runs behind our defense and pitching.

[Coach34]

Holder with the K

2outs in the 8th

[BulldogBear]

We have to lead college baseball in number of runners stranded.

Actually, we probably do for the last decade. We've had some fine years in that timeframe, but stranded runners has been a general problem for a long time now.

[Coach34]

Lindgren didn't really have it. That kid has to come out there and be on instead of taking 2-3 batters to calm down. If we lose, he should get the loss. He has to pitch better then he showed today especially if we are going to score 2 runs behind our defense and pitching.

Detz being at 3rd cost us this game. Britton makes that play and we dont get in all that trouble

[maroonmania]

We CAN not make a damn play!

[Bucky Dog]

Shit Wes!

[MarketingBully01]

Rea needs to sit.

[Coach34]

Error on Rea- wow

bases juiced

[starkvegasdawg]

There's that leading defense shining through.

[msstate7]

Sit Wes rea!!!! No offense and now defense failing

[Bucky Dog]

Detz bails him out!

[starkvegasdawg]

Way to bail Rea out there.

[maroonmania]

Well, I take it back, of all people Detz actually makes a play.

[Coach34]

Detz makes the play- headed to B8....2-2

[MarketingBully01]

Detz finally make a play and we get out of the inning no damage done. Bottom of the 8th tied...

[Coach34]

thing is- he still fell down and had to get back up and beat the guy to the base....playing him there is a chance we shouldnt be taking

[MarketingBully01]

Greatest college baseball fans set the record. :)

[Bucky Dog]

If he bats. Genius Cohen will probably pinch hit for him.

Probably but Hump has swung very aggressively today he needs another shot.

[starkvegasdawg]

Will tsun hang a banner for us setting the attendance record today?

[MarketingBully01]

I agree but Britton is batting .080. That is pathetic.

[Coach34]

Vickerson PH'ing

[MarketingBully01]

Me being a dumb ass. Great job by Vickerson! Wow he actually did something at the plate.

[MarketingBully01]

I bet Brown PH for Humphries. Want to make a bet?

[Coach34]

I agree but Britton is batting .080. That is pathetic.

Britton batting .168...Detz hits .208 entering today

[msstate7]

Double!!! Wow

[Coach34]

double by Vickerson

[maroonmania]

Wow, an actual extra base hit.

[msstate7]

Sitting Vick results in him responding next chance he got. Wes rea needs to be given a seat

[starkvegasdawg]

Here comes the bunt for all you fans.

[maroonmania]

Sitting Vick results in him responding next chance he got. Wes rea needs to be given a seat

At this point it certainly can't hurt.

[mstatefan91]

Great PR for us out there in the outfield...

[mparkerfd20]

Double birded F you to the outfielder. DOH!

[mparkerfd20]

We have our share of idiots and I'm gonna go ahead and say that guy is a bonafide idiot.

[MarketingBully01]

Might be a hope for Humphreys to stay in there since they are putting in a leftie. Of course, he still could Be PH for and they put Garner out there. Personally, I would keep Humphreys in there. He has had two good at bats.

[Coach34]

Their college kids drinking at a game- it is what it is. No big deal

[Quaoarsking]

We now have all of the top 10 largest crowds and 17 of the top 25:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_baseball#Top_25_on-campus_college_baseball_crowds_of_all-time

[Coach34]

Humphreys also K'ed last time...I'd probably let him hit vs LH'er

[Coach34]

CT gets the bunt down....Vick to 3rd

[MarketingBully01]

He could earn some PT if he comes through here.

[Coach34]

RH'er coming in for BearSharks...I'd bat for Humphreys

[MarketingBully01]

Ole Miss using some of their pen today. I'd still let Hunphreys bat. He needs to get experience in this situation.

[starkvegasdawg]

Safety squeeze?

[Coach34]

Cohen sticking with Humphreys

[Coach34]

infield in for BearSharks

[MarketingBully01]

A long fly ball would work here.

[msstate7]

Not looking good

[msstate7]

Way to stand there hump

[Coach34]

that's why you hit for Humphreys- that was awful

[mstatefan91]

Let's just watch the ball cross the plate! Sounds good

[MarketingBully01]

Why didn't he swing there?

[mparkerfd20]

Should have pinched him. Humphreys looks like shit out there.

[maroonmania]

Humphreys looking horrible at the plate. Looks at strike 3. Wasting an out on the bunt looks to be a bad call.

[maroonmania]

Our only hope is a wild pitch.

[MarketingBully01]

The pitch we can hit we just let go by. Our approach is just plain shit.

[mstatefan91]

Looking again

[mparkerfd20]

We suck ass

[Coach34]

strikes out Heck also...runner stranded...on to the 9th

[msstate7]

Leadoff double wasted. I don't know why I waste my time on this shitty team

[starkvegasdawg]

Runner at third and two batters look at strike three. Pathetic. Just pathetic.

[Coach34]

Humphreys was overmatched- he aint ready for bigtime SEC RH'ers...he does need some swings vs LH'ers

[Bucky Dog]

Humphreys looking horrible at the plate. Looks at strike 3. Wasting an out on the bunt looks to be a bad call.

It's stupid to give up the out IMO. The runner is already in scoring position and Bradford might get a hit. Even the announcer said something about that.

[mparkerfd20]

I'm growing to absolutely HATE this team. Can't wait for football.

[MarketingBully01]

I disagree. At some point, your Mississippi player of the year freshman needs to do something at the plate. PH'ing him there does more bad then good. Who would we have PH'ed for him there? Brown, the Canadian? None of our left handed batters could have driven the ball to try to get that run home.

[msstate7]

That kid has more doubles this weekend than our team has this month

[MarketingBully01]

I am a dumb ass yet again what a strike by Armstrong to get him out! :)

[Coach34]

I disagree. At some point, your Mississippi player of the year freshman needs to do something at the plate. PH'ing him there does more bad then good. Who would we have PH'ed for him there? Brown, the Canadian? None of our left handed batters could have driven the ball to try to get that run home.

No way....all you did right there was show him he aint ready. He knows how overmatched he was right there and now you have a confidence drop.

The infield was in- we need a LH'ed bat to make contact. It doesnt matter what Humphreys was in high school- in SEC baseball against RH'ed pitching- he is overmatched...and 0-4 today with 2 K's looking

[Joe Schmedlap]

There are no more excuses. There can be no more denial. Win or lose today, this is a very below average baseball TEAM competing for M State this year. Maybe, just maybe they improve by the postseason, but they have not been good at all since opening day thus far.

[Maroonthirteen]

It's not so much our approach at the plate as it is the player that had approached the plate.

[msstate7]

It's not so much our approach at the plate as it is the player that had approached the plate.

I agree. I just don't think we have any hitters for whatever reason

[Coach34]

Armstrong throws the runner out at the plate....2-2 headed B9

[msstate7]

CD.., you're wrong about Armstrong. He should never sit

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Armstrong is the best player on our team right now. Who woulda guessed that at the beginning of the year?

[Coach34]

It's not so much our approach at the plate as it is the player that had approached the plate.

exactly- blame Cohen for recruiting this shit but you cant blame him for what these pussies do at the plate. They have the bat in their hands- not Cohen. He cant swing it for them

[Coach34]

Armstrong and Pirtle are far and away the best players we have

[Coach34]

Detz gets robbed in RF...1 out

[msstate7]

Wes rea please do something

[Coach34]

Pirtle singles

[MarketingBully01]

Hitting and running on 0-1?

[MarketingBully01]

No way....all you did right there was show him he aint ready. He knows how overmatched he was right there and now you have a confidence drop.

The infield was in- we need a LH'ed bat to make contact. It doesnt matter what Humphreys was in high school- in SEC baseball against RH'ed pitching- he is overmatched...and 0-4 today with 2 K's looking

He also crushed a ball that would have been a base hit had it not hit the pitcher and almost made it a 4-2 game with a ball caught at the wall...

[Coach34]

Rea K's on a 2-2 change-up

[msstate7]

What a surprise. Wes rea is terrible

[MarketingBully01]

Rea strikes out again. When is enough enough?

[Coach34]

He also crushed a ball that would have been a base hit had it not hit the pitcher and almost made it a 4-2 game with a ball caught at the wall...

yet he is still 0-4 with 2K's and batting .200...and no hits in SEC play

[MarketingBully01]

Collins is all that he has been advertised to be.

[Coach34]

Collins with a single...1st and 2nd...2 out

[Coach34]

Collins needs to be in the line-up everyday

[Coach34]

walks Armstrong on 4 pitches...bases loaded

[MarketingBully01]

Vickerson could be the hero here...

[MarketingBully01]

Vickerson goat....

[Coach34]

Vick fouls out to end the inning....14 ****ing runners left on base

[MarketingBully01]

Henderson would have been better there. Vick just doesn't have it.

[msstate7]

Vick fouls out to end the inning....14 ****ing runners left on base

14 stranded is pathetic. We don't deserve to win

[MarketingBully01]

If we win, I said extra innings 3-2. We just don't have shit in this lineup. How did we get here after making the national championship series?

[starkvegasdawg]

14 stranded is pathetic. We don't deserve to win

Reminds me of that line from Major League: "And Cerrano pops it up. He's left a small village out there today."

[MarketingBully01]

Ball game.
