Game 3 Thread

[ScoobaDawg]

For the record- and I'm not making this up- I saw Rea at the Veranda last night. I didn't see him drinking anything though.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Todd4State again.

[I seen it dawg]

For us to make any sort of postseason noise, he HAS to be a factor for us at the plate. Period.

Totally agree

[I seen it dawg]

Grounder to Rea. 2 down.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Man, Laster is so good when he controls the inside part of the plate.

[I seen it dawg]

Single to left.

[messageboardsuperhero]

I like going to Lindgren here. This is UT's best hitter. Helluva job by Laster though.

[I seen it dawg]

Lindgren in. Like it here.

[I seen it dawg]

Great ****ing job by Laster. Helluva performance.

[Todd4State]

How dare he go out the night before a game.**

I've always thought it was unusual that some people think that us fans expect our players to be firmly entrenched in whatever sport that they play without any down time.

[Todd4State]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Todd4State again.

True. I have to get in the groove again.

[MarketingBully01]

Lindgren in. Hopefully he will close them out and we can walk off again. :)

[CadaverDawg]

As good as Lindgren is...he makes me nervous. Prolly bc of the walks and the fact that our D typically sucks behind him for some reason.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Lingo with the hammer!!

[I seen it dawg]

Ring him up.

[CadaverDawg]

And right on cue...Filth. He's just nasty

[Will James]

1st rounder with the K!

[Will James]

Righty in...

Mass subs commence!

[CadaverDawg]

Righty in...

Mass subs commence!

"Grab a bat and warm up, Vickerson"

-Cohen

[msstate7]

Sick of UT's 3b. He's really good

[messageboardsuperhero]

We've hit a couple of balls hard off this guy already. I like our chances of getting to him.

ETA: Well, I spoke too soon.

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing in the seventh, going to top of the eighth tied 3-3.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Throw strikes Lindgren. They can't hit your shit, so just throw it over the plate.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Lingo..no walks

[Coach34]

Bracewell is burnt
Holder may have an inning

Who we got after Lindy?

[MarketingBully01]

I'd ride Lindgren. They won't hit him. He just needs to throw strikes.

[Coach34]

great play by Pirtle

[DawgSaint]

Another great play by Pirtle

[Coach34]

Ole Miss and Jawja 1-1 in 9th

[Coach34]

Walker is soooo much better behind the plate

[messageboardsuperhero]

Pirtle is the best 2B in the SEC. It would be a crime if he doesn't make the All-SEC team.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Walker is soooo much better behind the plate

Truth. It makes me wonder why Randolph was Lindgren's designated catcher...

[MarketingBully01]

Let's get us some runs here and win it with a 1-2-3 ninth.

[Bucky Dog]

So does Cohen let Reid hit against rightie? I say he should but he won't.

[Will James]

JakeVick at the plate

[Bucky Dog]

And, let's PH Vickerson!!!!! Cohen is on drugs!

[maroonmania]

Oh joy, Vickerson sent in to pinch hit.

[CadaverDawg]

Told ya

It's Vickerson

[Coach34]

I like him hitting Vick myself

[MarketingBully01]

So does Cohen let Reid hit against rightie? I say he should but he won't.

I don't mind Vick PH'ing here. Let's see if he comes through.

[Coach34]

Humphries wasnt going to touch that RH'ed slider

[Will James]

#Cohening

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Vick. He's gonna get a hit

[Bucky Dog]

Wtf CT?!

[messageboardsuperhero]

And Cohen runs us out of an inning again on that hit-and-run... He wasn't expecting them to pitch out twice in a row.

[DawgSaint]

Good grief....that decision from a freaking Senior

[DudyDawg]

That was just awful.....

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief

[Will James]

Cohen HAD to do something... AGAIN. Just has to make it about himself.

[Bucky Dog]

Vick blisters one to short. We really took advantage of that.

[MarketingBully01]

And Vickerson screws us but the hit and run there was not a good call. Let Vick work the count and get on via the walk. If our guy doesn't go, it's 3-1. Wow, Cohen over managing again!

[maroonmania]

Dang, if Bradford had kept going he would have EASILY been safe. Gosh quit giving away outs on the bases. Wouldn't have mattered though, inning was over as soon as Vick came up to bat.

[CadaverDawg]

Quit MEDDLING, John! Shit

[messageboardsuperhero]

Good grief....that decision from a freaking Senior

What bad decision did CT make? That was Cohen's call.

[Coach34]

that was on CT- you dont ****ing stop you moron....he keeps running and he is safe

[Coach34]

What bad decision did CT make? That was Cohen's call.

and would have been a good one had CT not been an idiot

[Bucky Dog]

Cohen HAD to do something... AGAIN. Just has to make it about himself.

I don't mind him running there, CT just screwed up!

[MarketingBully01]

Cohen has killed us these last two games. If we are lucky, we can go 2-0 in these games. Cohen is not on his game this weekend.

[maroonmania]

Cohen HAD to do something... AGAIN. Just has to make it about himself.

Quit this hit and run crap. We would have much better odds if we just went with more straight steals if we are determined to do something.

[DawgSaint]

What bad decision did CT make? That was Cohen's call.

Ummmm yea...Cohen yelled stop running CT!!!!

[Will James]

The hit and run is a dumbass play too. Good grief our coach can't help himself. CT is a retard there too but blockhead made the call.

[Todd4State]

What bad decision did CT make? That was Cohen's call.

Cohen didn't tell him to stop running in the middle of the bases, I assure you of that.

[DudyDawg]

I didn't mind the hit and run call. I like it there with those two guys to avoid getting doubled, but you're screwed if they pitch out. And how on earth does ct stop, and that half ass swing. That's awful

[Coach34]

Lindy is just nasty

[LiterallyPolice]

That was LITERALLY the worse play I've ever seen.

[maroonmania]

I don't mind him running there, CT just screwed up!

CT screwed up big time. You can NOT stop running in that situation.

[MarketingBully01]

Tennessee is not going to hit Lindgren. We need to win it in the ninth though.

[messageboardsuperhero]

This is true... CT shouldn't have stopped running.

[messageboardsuperhero]

We have nobody who can block Lindgren's slider.

[Will James]

Our catchers suck aGAIN.

[Saltydog]

nt

[HoopsDawg]

I'm glad we got Vickerson's left handed bat in the lineup there. That's just smart baseball from the intense bastard.

[Will James]

Get in the dugout John.

"Ahhh we need a K here" - John

"Yeah that's what I do." - 1st rounder

[maroonmania]

Same old same old, runners reaches on a Lindy strikeout.

[Saltydog]

nt

[CadaverDawg]

If Lindgren had Slauter or Ammo, he'd be even better. And that's hard to imagine

[maroonmania]

I'm glad we got Vickerson's left handed bat in the lineup there. That's just smart baseball from the intense bastard.

I've seriously come to the point that I wish Vickerson wasn't on the team so Cohen wouldn't have the option to bat him. Pretty bad attitude given he's probably a starter next year given our options.

[DawgSaint]

If Lindgren had Slauter or Ammo, he'd be even better. And that's hard to imagine

Exactly why he will be a very high draft pick

[Coach34]

OM wins in 10th 2-1

[Coach34]

rut rohhhhh

[DawgSaint]

Now have to be careful with slider...which is not good and we all know why

[maroonmania]

You watch, the runner now at 3rd that was on via the strikeout will score via a wild pitch.

[Bucky Dog]

Nice block

[Saltydog]

nt

[DawgSaint]

Now have to be careful with slider...which is not good and we all know why

As soon as type that great block

[messageboardsuperhero]

OM wins in 10th 2-1

Of course they did... It don't think they've lost a 1-run game at home all year.

[DawgSaint]

Wow...Just wow

[Will James]

Need a leadoff HR here so Cohen doesn't have to bunt.

[Bucky Dog]

Lingo is one intense bastard!

[messageboardsuperhero]

Walker redeems himself.

[Coach34]

throw the damn ball Walker

[maroonmania]

Well, we were fortunate. Lindy flirted with the wild pitch twice but we escaped.

[Todd4State]

That was close.

[Bucky Dog]

Cody Brown with a walk off??

[DawgSaint]

Need a leadoff HR here so Cohen doesn't have to bunt.

Well we all know his home runs come in the same game...it just might happen

[MarketingBully01]

You watch, the runner now at 3rd that was on via the strikeout will score via a wild pitch.

Walker doing a great job back there. Lindgren strikes out three and two count as outs. 3-3 bottom of the ninth.

[maroonmania]

We better win here because we've got NO dependable pitchers available today past Lindy.

[DawgSaint]

No way second pitch was strike

[messageboardsuperhero]

No way second pitch was strike

It wasn't even ****ing close.

[Bucky Dog]

Rea sucks again***

[maroonmania]

Man, Rea had a pitch to hit there but missed and Kd.

[MarketingBully01]

Neither of the two pitches were strikes both were high.

[MarketingBully01]

Ugh, 1-2-3 in the ninth going to extras tied 3-3.

[DudyDawg]

I've liked watching walker catch. Not made too many mistakes although he got a little sketchy w the throw. I like his energy tho. He's moving a lot talking to the ump and stuff not just catching the ball and throwing it back. Makes me wonder why Randolph has played so much

[messageboardsuperhero]

Those two runs we gave up in the first inning off of 1 lousy infield single is the difference in this game.

[Todd4State]

And again, our all-world talented hitters come through again. Good thing we never try to manufacture runs.**

[Todd4State]

Those two runs we gave up in the first inning off of 1 lousy infield single is the difference in this game.

If we start Laster, we are home right now.

[MarketingBully01]

Those high fastballs shit head ump called strikes changed Rea's swing. He was looking for a high fastball and the pitcher threw it down the middle.

[DudyDawg]

Those high fastballs shit head ump called strikes changed Rea's swing. He was looking for a high fastball and the pitcher threw it down the middle.

Yeah the first one was a but questionable and rea didn't say anything, then the second was even worse and he had a word or two for the ump. Everyone is up there guessing what's a ball or strike bc of this inconsistent zone

[MarketingBully01]

Preston Brown killed us in A&M and this game. We should seriously just hold him out the rest of the season until he is better. No sense in pitching him if he isn't ready.

[DawgSaint]

We really need to find a way to win it in the 10th

[MarketingBully01]

Going to the bottom of the tenth still 3-3.

[MarketingBully01]

I think Laster should start next Saturday against Alabama as our third starter.

[Bucky Dog]

I absolutely hate taking a first strike!!!!

[Coach34]

This team this year just isnt very likeable...they dont do anything that makes you respect them

[MarketingBully01]

1-2-3 going to the 11th tied 3-3.

[Coach34]

Lindy manning up today

[maroonmania]

Boy, we aren't even threatening to score any more.

[Will James]

Please bunt UT

[msstate7]

Leadoff single. Lindgren getting tired. I'm worried

[CadaverDawg]

Lingo with more bad luck. It's crazy how many weird infield singles he gives up

[mparkerfd20]

Got a feeling UT will win this one. Hope it's just gas.

[messageboardsuperhero]

That hit wasn't on Lindgren. He got the guy to pound it in the ground. There's nothing more you can do.

[CadaverDawg]

Leadoff single. Lindgren getting tired. I'm worried

Why you say he's tired? It was a good pitch and wasn't hit hard

[messageboardsuperhero]

Lingo with more bad luck. It's crazy how many weird infield singles he gives up

It really is. He gives up more lucky infield hits than anyone I've ever seen.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Thanks for the bunt failure UT.

[Will James]

College hitters can't bunt. It's so stupid. Bunt fails lead to K's.

Thanks UT. Dumbasses.

[DawgSaint]

Huge K for Lindgren...big time pitch

[CadaverDawg]

I'd hate to have to bunt that nasty shit

[DudyDawg]

Can't believe it took us this long into the year to realize we need to use a guy twice a weekend consistently that averages 17 k per nine. God he's nasty

[DawgSaint]

Slider is nasty today

[Will James]

Filth

[msstate7]

Why you say he's tired? It was a good pitch and wasn't hit hard

Bc I worry

[CadaverDawg]

Can't believe it took us this long into the year to realize we need to use a guy twice a weekend consistently that averages 17 k per nine. God he's nasty

Yep. This has been a head scratching year

[CadaverDawg]

Bc I worry

Haha, yes you do

[DawgSaint]

Great pick by Rea

[messageboardsuperhero]

Atta boy Lindgren. Now let's get a run.

[DawgSaint]

Great pitching after lead off single...now let's walk off!

[MarketingBully01]

Now our 4, 5, and 6 guys up. Should do it here IMO.

[DudyDawg]

That was closer than I would've liked it at first

[maroonmania]

We aren't making good contact with anything right now.

[Will James]

Hey it's Garner!

[DudyDawg]

Daniel garner to PH. I love that

[DawgSaint]

Wow ..kid last names is Wormsley....wonder how many times he fought on the playground

[CadaverDawg]

Wouldn't it be something of he went yard here

[DawgSaint]

Garner!!!!!

[maroonmania]

Garner being brought back from the dead for an AB.

[Bucky Dog]

And a rip to the wall for a double!!

[messageboardsuperhero]

Garner with a double. Alright Rea, we need you again.

[msstate7]

Will they pitch 2 rea?

[Will James]

Better late than never John. Vick is a lefty so he MUST hit better than Garner against Righties!!!!

Better late than never John

[DawgSaint]

How great would this be for Rea????

[CadaverDawg]

Garner say "F you, John".

[DudyDawg]

That's why I love it!!! Hasn't batted in ten years and then goes out there aggressive and strokes one! We need as much gap power as we can get.

[Will James]

Wild pitch. Britton to 3rd.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Papi

[Bucky Dog]

How about a flair over second Wes?!

[DudyDawg]

How bout another pass ball please

[Will James]

That's why I love it!!! Hasn't batted in ten years and then goes out there aggressive and strokes one! We need as much gap power as we can get.

He was probably supposed to take till a strike, try to get hit and get to 1st, PR to steal and try to hit him in. Instead he attacks!

[Todd4State]

Will they pitch 2 rea?

They'll probably walk him.

[Bucky Dog]

We don't need a HR Wes!

[Bucky Dog]

****

[messageboardsuperhero]

How many runners have we left at third this weekend?

[DawgSaint]

Good grief

[MarketingBully01]

Top of the 12th coming up, sheesh. 3-3.

[DudyDawg]

Aaaaaaaand a lazy fly to shallow right. Mississippi State University: we get it done when it counts

[maroonmania]

We just CAN NOT get a clutch 2 out hit. This team just can't do it.

[Todd4State]

That's why I love it!!! Hasn't batted in ten years and then goes out there aggressive and strokes one! We need as much gap power as we can get.

I hope this gives Garner some confidence and more playing time. I think this is only his first or second SEC hit.

[CadaverDawg]

This team is as clutch as an Automatic

[MarketingBully01]

As a plus, their closer is more then likely done. He looked gassed those last two batters.

[Saltydog]

nt

[messageboardsuperhero]

WOW. Thanks for the inexplicable two out bunt.

[maroonmania]

I'm telling you, you folks that think someone is going to come in and easily take away the SS job from Heck are in for a surprise.

[MarketingBully01]

Nothing doing for Tennessee, going to the bottom of the 12th 3-3

[Bucky Dog]

Why bunt there?!! Did they think it was only one out? I'm guessing the guy missed a sign because that didn't look like he was bunting for a hit.

[Bucky Dog]

BUNT!!!!!!! Here you go Will. I know we both agree it is time for a bunt.

[maroonmania]

How long can this game go? Is there a time deadline?

[Will James]

Here it comes.

[Will James]

Don't bunt 2-0 please.

[Coach34]

I'm telling you, you folks that think someone is going to come in and easily take away the SS job from Heck are in for a surprise.

It's his arm- not his glove. Heck is going to be an All-SEC 2nd baseman next year

[messageboardsuperhero]

How long can this game go? Is there a time deadline?

There's no deadline for today.

[Coach34]

thats why you bunt there

[Will James]

Casino doesn't win every time!!

(Prepares for ignorant Todd)

[Bucky Dog]

This is MS State baseball. Two errors, walk the bases loaded, then we probably win on a WP or sac fly.

[Will James]

thats why you bunt there

What about last night? Still a bad percentage play. Glad it worked, its about time it did.

[maroonmania]

We will now end up with bases loaded nobody out. So that would give us maybe a 10% chance to score?

[Bucky Dog]

And Detz can hit a fly ball damnit!!!

[Coach34]

I disagree because of the circumstances...pressure is different at this point in the game as opposed to earlier

[Will James]

Need a classic Detz walk here.

[Will James]

What the **** Detz?!

No approach.

[Bucky Dog]

That's all you can do on a 2-0 count Detz??!!!

[Coach34]

**** me thats awful Detz

[DudyDawg]

And Detz can hit a fly ball damnit!!!

And he did!!! About 175 feet......

[messageboardsuperhero]

Are we seriously about to **** this up?

[maroonmania]

It's his arm- not his glove. Heck is going to be an All-SEC 2nd baseman next year

I don't care, Britton's got a rocket but he can't handle all the plays needed at SS. I'll be surprised if anyone takes the job from Heck. No, he doesn't have a MLB SS arm but he's got a good enough arm to continue to be a very good college SS.

[DawgSaint]

Unreal

[Bucky Dog]

We suck nut sacks in clutch situations!

[msstate7]

It's not just detz. This whole team stinks situationally.

[maroonmania]

We are incredible, TAKE a strike Detz

[DudyDawg]

Are we seriously about to **** this up?

In no way would that surprise any of us

[Bucky Dog]

Sit on it Walker!!!

[Bucky Dog]

We are incredible, TAKE a strike Detz

No you don't take there with bases loaded.

[msstate7]

Will tenn force us to score?

[Will James]

Will James Fall American Cody Walker!!

[messageboardsuperhero]

We did not deserve to win that game, but I'll take it.

[DawgSaint]

Bailed out....but I'll take it

[Bucky Dog]

Classic walk off walk!!! No hits and we win. Pitiful but I will take it.

[DudyDawg]

Cody Walker, the rich man's Zach Randolph

[DawgSaint]

A walk off with no hits

[MarketingBully01]

A walk off walk by Walker! 4-3 Dogs win! Couldn't draw it up better! :)

[maroonmania]

Thanks Mr. Ump.

[CadaverDawg]

Speechless

[starkvegasdawg]

That's how you win a baseball game MSU style.

[maroonmania]

Its still very hard to like this team.

[messageboardsuperhero]

That ump screwed both teams all day.

Again, when will the SEC start to hold umpires accountable for their performance.

[Todd4State]

Will James Fall American Cody Walker!!

We don't win if Cody Brown doesn't bunt there.

[Coach34]

#Cohening

[Coach34]

and we are now 16-11- tied for 3rd overall in the SEC

[Todd4State]

Classic walk off walk!!! No hits and we win. Pitiful but I will take it.

And yet we have a fan that expects us to get three hits in a row.

[Todd4State]

and we are now 16-11- tied for 3rd overall in the SEC

I think I saw on twitter that this is the first time we have had .500 or better three years in a row since 1999-2001.

[Will James]

We don't win if Cody Brown doesn't bunt there.

And you know this how exactly

[Will James]

And yet we have a fan that expects us to get three hits in a row.

Worked against Auburn.

[maroonmania]

No you don't take there with bases loaded.

Yes you do because a walk was our best chance to win which eventually WAS how we won.

[maroonmania]

and we are now 16-11- tied for 3rd overall in the SEC

and I believe now 6-0 in extras.

[Bucky Dog]

Yes you do because a walk was our best chance to win which eventually WAS how we won.

I meant that with no outs and Detz being a fly ball hitter that is one you look to drive IF it is a fastball strike. Just my opinion. And yes we won in typical MSU fashion!

[Todd4State]

And you know this how exactly

Because of the fact that we scored in that last inning and Cody Brown's batting average.

Exactly the same way you know that we would have scored if we hadn't bunted.

[MarketingBully01]

We did not deserve to win that game, but I'll take it.

And Tennessee did? We pitched well enough to win. They got all three of their runs off a hurt Preston Brown who probably shouldn't have been pitching. They got cheap runs in the first but overall I would say our pitching gave us a chance to win and did well. Laster/Lindgren were lights out. We just capitalized enough to win the game. I really don't have much to bitch about this game. When we pitch like we have the last two weekends, we should be in enough games to have a chance at the end. We just need Cohen to not try to over manage so much. We should have won this isle the ninth but our team showed enough grit this weekend to show me some things. All of our goals are still in front if us and we are still just one game out of the west. Proud of our guys this weekend gutting these two wins out.

[Todd4State]

Worked against Auburn.

One inning out of how many? Against a team that has won I believe one game on Sunday which was today?

[Dawgface]

and we are now 16-11- tied for 3rd overall in the SEC

That is amazing.

[Todd4State]

And Tennessee did? We pitched well enough to win. They got all three of their runs off a hurt Preston Brown who probably shouldn't have been pitching. They got cheap runs in the first but overall I would say our pitching gave us a chance to win and did well. Laster/Lindgren were lights out. We just capitalized enough to win the game.

All of our goals are still in front if us and we are still just one game out of the west. Proud of our guys this weekend gutting these two wins out.

Exactly. The biggest mistake today was pitching Preston Brown. And that's hindsight.

[Will James]

Because of the fact that we scored in that last inning and Cody Brown's batting average.

Exactly the same way you know that we would have scored if we hadn't bunted.

Your sample size of one is truly amazing. Like I said, bunting isn't 0% and not bunting isn't 100%. Your te one who thinks in black and white. We had a higher chance of winning by not bunting. It worked, awesome! But the casinos still hang chandeliers.

[C222]

Tied for 3rd overall in the SEC?? Reading through these game threads you would think we were in last.

[MarketingBully01]

Tied for 3rd overall in the SEC?? Reading through these game threads you would think we were in last.

Did you add anything whatsoever to the game thread discussion at all? Just wondering.

[preachermatt83]

Did you add anything whatsoever to the game thread discussion at all? Just wondering.

of course he not. he is useless on this board.

[MarketingBully01]

It's his arm- not his glove. Heck is going to be an All-SEC 2nd baseman next year

And when that FSU kid comes in to take over short stop next year, our infield won't miss a beat.
