Mizzou Game Two Thread

[TheRef]

Here's your starting lineup:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BlmpgmXCAAEfwGe.png

Wes Rea is not playing....Cohen listens...Cody, CT, and Jake in the OF with Armstrong at the DH. Detz on first. Britton on third. Collins catching...looks good to me.

[msstate7]

I like it too. We're gonna score today

[preachermatt83]

I like it too. I just wish I could figure out what Hendu has done to make cohen mad. I mean he is one of the best hitters we have.. anyway, glad Cohen decided to bench Rea.

[MarketingBully01]

It's Cohenz matchups obsession. Mizzou is throwing 3 right handers.

[preachermatt83]

It's Cohenz matchups obsession. Mizzou is throwing 3 right handers.

he can really go overboard on that sometimes

[blacklistedbully]

Just gotta get Ross past the 1st inning. Lately seems like he can be a bit shaky in the first, then settles down for the duration. If they are gonna beat Ross, they'll probably need to score in the first.

[DawgPoundRock]

game on radio on the gulf coast?

[Will James]

The Mizzou feed is one camera behind the plate looking through the netting....

What the ****, high school stuff.

[Will James]

Cody Brown triple, Detz groundout.

1-0 MSU

[monroedawg5646]

That didn't take long

[BulldogBear]

Gotta head back to work. Will only be able to follow the game via thread so someone please summarize each inning if you're able. Thanks.

[msstate7]

Really like Cody brown

[I seen it dawg]

Holy shit we scored

[I seen it dawg]

Hoopty ass video feed. Collins k for out 1

[MarketingBully01]

It's Cohenz matchups obsession. Mizzou is throwing 3 right handers.

So aside from the triple, the lefties lineup is sucking 6 up 6 down after the triple. 1-0 MSU going to the bottom of the second.

[Will James]

Pirtle error, Ross threw a pick away,

Man on 2nd

[Bucky Dog]

Kinda figured Rea would sit after he pinch hit for him last night. Let's see what happens for the next few games.

[Will James]

1-0 MSU

End 2

[I seen it dawg]

The Mizzou feed is one camera behind the plate looking through the netting....

What the ****, high school stuff.

I watched a half inning and contacted CBS and cancelled. ****ing horrible. Make sure you follow the canceling rules strictly or they will hose you.

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing for Mizzou in the second, 1-0 MSU going to the Top of the Third.

[preachermatt83]

Heck of a play by Detz there. Rea gonna be on the bench for a while

[I seen it dawg]

And we come back to game from break and it's damn 2-0 count. Why can't we ever get it right. Bart read this and fix it!!!

[MarketingBully01]

3-1 and Vick hits a lazy fly ball to the outfield...great.

[MarketingBully01]

He needs to quit screwing with this lineup. After the triple, 8 straight retired by a guy who is 0-4 in the SEC and a 5+ ERA.

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing in the third for us, going to the bottom of the third MSU up 1-0. Mitchell going to need to pitch the game of his life if we can't figure out their worst starting pitcher.

[MarketingBully01]

Freshman mistake by Cody Brown in the outfield and Mizzou has tied it up.

[maroonmania]

Freshman mistake by Cody Brown in the outfield and Mizzou has tied it up.

Yep, not having Henderson in the outfield cost us there.

[maroonmania]

Nothing doing in the third for us, going to the bottom of the third MSU up 1-0. Mitchell going to need to pitch the game of his life if we can't figure out their worst starting pitcher.

If you want us to figure out an opposing starting pitcher we will probably need to schedule Alcorn for another game.

[MarketingBully01]

Mizzou ties it up in the bottom of the third. Going to the top of the fourth tied 1-1

[MarketingBully01]

If you want us to figure out an opposing starting pitcher we will probably need to schedule Alcorn for another game.

This guy Kentucky tagged for 12 runs last week. We have to get to this guy. We need to score 6+ runs and I will feel a bit more comfortable with our lineup. Otherwise, we have to be one of the worst lineups in the SEC. Hitting 265 as a team? That is pathetic.

Seriously, while I do believe Cohen does well at running a program I used to believe that he was a good hitting coach but I don't believe that any longer. We have been offensively challenged ever since Cohen has been here. That can't all be coincidence. Even our better teams under Cohen have still lived and died on pitching and defense.

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing for the dogs (surprisingly) in the fourth, going to the bottom of the fourth tied 1-1

[preachermatt83]

CT has been hitting well lately. I'd move him up to Second in the lineup.

[MarketingBully01]

Mitchell taking care of business 1-2-3 for Mizzou going to top of the fifth tied 1-1

[Coach34]

Kentucky also has that little ass field...there are balls hit there for doubles and HR's that are outs in DNF and other places

[MarketingBully01]

Vick doesn't need to be in the lineup and I would have the outfield of Henderson, Armstrong, and Bradford keep Detz at First and DH Humphreys instead of this lineup. Have that lineup in for Right handers or left handers. Only pull the matchup bull shit in pinch hit situations.

[I seen it dawg]

Armstrong bunted to 3rd. 1 out

[MarketingBully01]

Kentucky also has that little ass field...there are balls hit there for doubles and HR's that are outs in DNF and other places

All the SEC teams he has played have hit him hard. Why else would you have an ERA of 5+?

[msstate7]

Crap!!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Are you kidding me? Wtf

[MarketingBully01]

Yeah, dumb luck by a ball hitting off the 3rd base umpire and they throw out Armstrong at the plate. Runner on second two outs.

[whosyourdawgy]

No way to sugar coat anything. Our offense is Anemic and whatever bad adjective you want to use. No power at all, and the punch and Judy's aren't even punch and Judying!

[HailState39110]

Armstrong thrown out at home. To be a small ball team we sure do suck at it

[I seen it dawg]

We've Benin snake bitten by a viper

[MarketingBully01]

Nice we do get a run finally, MSU up 2-1.

[I seen it dawg]

Brown 2 out hit for RBI then picked off. 2-1 to 5th

[MarketingBully01]

Freshman Brown gets picked off of first but he got the hit to put us ahead. MSU up 2-1 going to bottom of the fifth.

[UMCDawg16]

No way to sugar coat anything. Our offense is Anemic and whatever bad adjective you want to use. No power at all, and the punch and Judy's aren't even punch and Judying!

You do realize the only power we lost from last year's team is Renfroe, obviously Rea isn't hitting but power isn't our thing. How many power hitters did UCLA have last year? College baseball is no longer about power with the new bats. If you can't play small ball and pitch, you lose.

[msstate7]

Geez. We can't hold a lead

[MarketingBully01]

My gosh we are sucking this weekend. Two wild pitches and we are tied.

[maroonmania]

Geez. We can't hold a lead

Because we just aren't very good.

[MarketingBully01]

Shit heads lost us the lead again. Tied 2-2 going to the top of the sixth.

[MarketingBully01]

Does Detz even have a hit this weekend? He was 0-5 yesterday I think he is 0-8 overall.

[maroonmania]

My word, can we not have ONE SEC game where we score 7 or 8 runs offensively especially when we are not facing a dominant pitcher?

[MarketingBully01]

We should score 6-8 runs against this guy. Struggling like we are against this guy is concerning.

[I seen it dawg]

LSU beats OM 2-0

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing in the 6th for us, going to bottom of the sixth tied 2-2

[preachermatt83]

considering we call ourselves a "defensive" ballclub, we sure do make a lot of errors.

[msstate7]

If we're gonna play someone solely bc of defense, errors are unacceptable

[msstate7]

considering we call ourselves a "defensive" ballclub, we sure do make a lot of errors.

We have no identity bc we have poor leaders

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing in the 6th for us, going to bottom of the sixth tied 2-2

Error on Coach's boy Britton and runners on the corners two outs. If we win this game, it will be because Mizzou gives it to us. We sure as shit don't deserve to win it.

[MarketingBully01]

Our score keeper has saved us otherwise we could have triple the amount of errors.

[MarketingBully01]

We got out of the inning with no damage done. Going to the top of the seventh, 2-2 tied.

[MarketingBully01]

This is disappointing because we really never fixed our lineup problems even taking Rea out. Same song different verse.

[preachermatt83]

plz PH Hendu for Britton here!!

[MarketingBully01]

Two on one out pitching change for Missouri.

[I seen it dawg]

2 on 1 out into their pen. Back to the game. If it's a lefty could see Rea for Britton and move Detz to 3rd.

[MarketingBully01]

We have to AT LEAST get a 2-3 run lead here IMO. 5-2 would ice it IMO.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

2 on 1 out into their pen. Back to the game. If it's a lefty could see Rea for Britton and move Detz to 3rd.

Britton has a chance to redeem himself.

[MarketingBully01]

We have better RH hitters then LH hitters. Could be why we are struggling today.

[MarketingBully01]

Nice passed ball of their own. Runners on 2nd and 3rd.

[MarketingBully01]

Bases loaded with Cody Brown to bat. We HAVE to score here.

[preachermatt83]

Its all about lineup .... Batting .285 plus are - Hendu, Brown, Collins, Armstrong, CT, Pirtle.. Get these guys back to back to back to back in the order and watch our run production pick up.

[MarketingBully01]

Nice Brown another hit 3-2 MSU. PH Rea for Detz here.

[I seen it dawg]

Cody!!

[MarketingBully01]

Ugh, Detz is 0fer. He needs to break out of this here.

[whosyourdawgy]

You do realize the only power we lost from last year's team is Renfroe, obviously Rea isn't hitting but power isn't our thing. How many power hitters did UCLA have last year? College baseball is no longer about power with the new bats. If you can't play small ball and pitch, you lose.

Man you were ready to jump on that weren't you. No team wins without good pitching which we have had. And there are different approaches at the plate. To say you can't win with swinging the bat and power is just stupid though. The Rebs just whipped out asses swinging away and knocking the shot out of the ball. What I said is we have no power and our small ball hitters aren't even doing that. You have to have hits and clutch hits to score runs. We aren't doing that right now.

[blacklistedbully]

Yes! Still bases loaded and only 1 out!

[MarketingBully01]

Woot! Detz walks MSU 4-2 bases loaded for Pirtle.

[preachermatt83]

Pirtle is batting .329... That's pretty stout .

[blacklistedbully]

Let's go, Pirtle!

[MarketingBully01]

We need to blow this game open. I'd like us to get 4-5 runs here.

[MarketingBully01]

Left hander in now for Missouri.

[MarketingBully01]

Isnt Pirtle a better right handed hitter then left? Probably a dumb decision.

[MarketingBully01]

Pop out by Pirtle.

[starkvegasdawg]

Too lazy to look it up. When was the last time Demarcus actually stepped on the field during an actual game? Beginning to think Cohen must have caught him with his wife.

[MarketingBully01]

2 outs bases loaded for Heck.

[maroonmania]

Our best offense obviously comes when the opposing pitcher can't throw strikes.

[I seen it dawg]

I think today's lineup with the exception of Hendu over Vick is about the best we can put on the field.

[MarketingBully01]

Man Jim Ellis needs to retire. He loses himself in the game and he doesn't update the score near enough. Another walk MSU up 5-2.

[I seen it dawg]

Walk in a run. Mizzou sucks. Come on ct

[MarketingBully01]

And Jim has a love affair with this Missouri catcher...

[I seen it dawg]

Good inning. 5-2 mutts to B7

[preachermatt83]

feeling better now about this game, they gonna have a hard time scoring 4 more runs on Ross.

[MarketingBully01]

Bradford lines out and Mizzou gift wraps 3 runs for us. MSU up 5-2 going to the bottom of the 7th.

[preachermatt83]

Henderson going into the game for Vick

[MarketingBully01]

Vick is out Henderson is in.

[maroonmania]

It appears right now that Cody Brown is our hottest hitter. He's hit the ball hard all weekend.

[BulldogBear]

Thanks to those who are giving game updates. Got a brief chance to post. Let's put this one away.

[Bucky Dog]

So did we score 3 runs on two singles and four walks that inning?

[MarketingBully01]

1-2-3 by Mizzou in the bottom of the seventh, going to the top of the eighth MSU 5-2

[MarketingBully01]

So did we score 3 runs on two singles and four walks that inning?

Yes.

[Bucky Dog]

Thats how we do it!

[MarketingBully01]

When we win this game, we will be 1/2 a game off of Ole Miss.

[thedawg]

Im certainly not gonna bitch about mizzou shitting the bed.... The longer we can stay in the pack while struggling the better... What if we leave Columbia 10-8 and then get hot

[chef dixon]

2,3,4 hitters blast in two runs with 2 walks and a pop out, better than what we were getting!

[BulldogBear]

Im certainly not gonna bitch about mizzou shitting the bed.... The longer we can stay in the pack while struggling the better... What if we leave Columbia 10-8 and then get hot

This is what one hopes for. I'm all for getting hot of course but man, I wish we would visit the idea of consistent. Right now we're only consistent at sucking on offense.

[MarketingBully01]

1-2-3 for the Dogs going to the bottom of the 8th MSU up 5-2

[Air of The Dawg]

Im certainly not gonna bitch about mizzou shitting the bed.... The longer we can stay in the pack while struggling the better... What if we leave Columbia 10-8 and then get hot

Not sure if the 'naysayers' can handle that one....

[Jacksondevildog]

Really need Ross to finish complete game so we can have Lindgren and Holder available along with the rest of the pen.

[thedawg]

I can't see holder pitching tomorrow... If it's tight I can see Lindgren going an inning or two maybe three

[Jacksondevildog]

Holder could come in for an inning.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

holder threw 82 pitches. he is done.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Ross gets a DP to get out of it. 5-2 dawgs heading to top of the 9th.

[curmudgeon]

When we win this game, we will be 9-8 in the SEC, which is exactly what we were last year after 17 games. Last year we would lose three of our next four. That's not going to happen this year.

When we win this game, we will possibly be only 2 games back of the SEC lead, as Alabama is down 4-1 to Tennessee.

Our schedule is set up for us to challenge for the SEC title. Our next 10 SEC games are against the four worst teams in the league while teams ahead of us are playing tougher competition. I said that if we came out of the Ole Miss series a game back of first we would run away with the SEC title, and we came out three games back. We won't run away with it, but we will be in the hunt.

I agree but we have to figure out our lineup and third starter Sunday situation.

[MarketingBully01]

6-2 MSU runners on 2nd and 3rd one out.

[thedawg]

Third starter has to be woodruff... Him continuing to get healthy is every bit as important to us as improving at the plate

You shut your mouth. We are a bad team with a bad coach who won't make the NCAA Tournament and might come in last in the SEC.**

post more sir

[chef dixon]

Cody Brown batting average up 62 points today.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Cody Brown's been hitting really well since he hit a double off the center field wall against OM in our extra innings win. We need some hitters to get hot, doesn't matter who, and he certainly seems to be there.

[MarketingBully01]

1 run for MSU to make it 6-2 heading to the bottom of the ninth.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

ross in. 122 pitches.

[I seen it dawg]

Let's go Ross finish

[MarketingBully01]

So, who do we pitch tomorrow?

[I seen it dawg]

Woody Bracewell Bracewell woody

[I seen it dawg]

Rea in as defensive replacement

[I seen it dawg]

Dogs win. Balls out performance by Ross.

[MarketingBully01]

Nice! Dogs win 6-2 take first two from Mizzou. Now we need to sweep on Sunday.

[Air of The Dawg]

GOOD GAME !

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

It's nice to know that we haven't been playing very well at all and we are only 3 (2?) games behind first place.

[Todd4State]

It's nice to know that we haven't been playing very well at all and we are only 3 (2?) games behind first place.

That's why getting swept by LSU and losing the Ole Miss series hurt so bad. If we win 1 against LSU and then win the series against Ole Miss, we're in the cat bird seat in the West.

[State82]

Well, crap. Bama scores 3 to tie UT. 6-6 in the 8th.

[CadaverDawg]

Well, crap. Bama scores 3 to tie UT. 6-6 in the 8th.

Link?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

That's why getting swept by LSU and losing the Ole Miss series hurt so bad. If we win 1 against LSU and then win the series against Ole Miss, we're in the cat bird seat in the West.
It would have been even worse if we didn't steal a win from the jaws of defeat against OM. But yes, if we could have won 1 of the 5 games we lost against OM and LSU we'd be sitting very pretty right now.

[Dog316]

he can really go overboard on that sometimes

------
Yea, like all last year!

[Coach34]

It appears right now that Cody Brown is our hottest hitter. He's hit the ball hard all weekend.

We may have finally found a leadoff guy

[dogshiek]

Hail effing state!
