Game 3 Thread sponsored by the Will James Bunting Academy

[I seen it dawg]

Let's finish these ****ers off today. Anybody got the lineup?

[BulldogBear]

Ennis or anyone that can give fairly regular updates, you will be appreciated. I MIGHT be able to listen today. It kind of depends on what I'm doing. Got some spousal obligations to fulfill this afternoon. One is the kind that makes you forget about baseball though there ares supposedly some correlations!! The others, not so much.

[Coach34]

Why in the **** are we starting Brown on the mound again?https://twitter.com/

[I seen it dawg]

****

[ClancyDawg]

Why in the **** are we starting Brown on the mound again?https://twitter.com/

I'm sure Cohen has something that says Bama is worse vs RHP. Even so, you have to look at WHO the pitchers are, not just the hand they throw with. I don't get it either.

[preachermatt83]

Why in the **** are we starting Brown on the mound again?https://twitter.com/
I would have went with Laster but I gotta say that I can see Brown starting. He looked very good against Auburn.

[Five-tool Poster]

Look at their lineup, easy to tell why Brown should start. We'll face a team in the SEC tourney that would be more favorable for Laster.

[BulldogBear]

I would have went with Laster but I gotta say that I can see Brown starting. He looked very good against Auburn.

This ^

[Bucky Dog]

Why cant we type **** anymore? Its shows up as ****! Do we have to start typing 17?

[I seen it dawg]

Bc I cuss too much

[CadaverDawg]

Anybody got a lineup?

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Ill be giving play by play

[Coach34]

Heck
Detz- DH
Pirtle
Collins
C.T
Hendo
Rea
Armstrong
Britton

[I seen it dawg]

I like it vs the lefty

[Bucky Dog]

Why not Hump vs Lefty? But good lineup.

[starkvegasdawg]

Counting on the board for updates. I'll be at my daughter's dance recital. Which means aside from watching her class dance I will be staring at my phone for updates to avoid watching a bunch of 4 year olds look like the keystone cops on stage.

[BulldogBear]

Ill be giving play by play


Thanks good sir

[Air of The Dawg]

ditto

[ClancyDawg]

I hope our tv angle is better than this UF-UT game

[CadaverDawg]

Is it on TV?

[ClancyDawg]

Have to listen to Dick Cross' voice calling this one

[ClancyDawg]

Is it on TV?


CSS or ESPN3

[State82]

Early returns showing no help so far from AU or Vandy.

[CadaverDawg]

CSS or ESPN3

Thanks.

[I seen it dawg]

This guy looks like shit. Can't see how he is effective. He may beat us but he shouldn't make it out the 3rd

[I seen it dawg]

Heck rip single

[BulldogBear]

Early returns showing no help so far from AU or Vandy.

At least neither Vandy or SC can sweep. If we win today we are solid 3rd.

[I seen it dawg]

Detz with a k. 1 down.

[I seen it dawg]

Pirtle grounds out. 2 down heck on 2

[I seen it dawg]

Collins grounds out. Bottom 1 no score.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

sorry guys, my appleTV is messing up. I cant see game yet.

[ClancyDawg]

Lead off home run for Bama off Preston

[I seen it dawg]

Well that was fn quick. First pitch bomb. Ball tailed right back over the middle.

[msstate7]

Well that was fn quick. First pitch bomb. Ball tailed right back over the middle.

Makes me sick bc it should be laster starting IMO

[I seen it dawg]

I wanted Laster too but Preston can beat these guys. Prob now is he can't control the fn strike zone. As I type he walks a guy.

[ClancyDawg]

K then a 4 pitch walk

[I seen it dawg]

Man on 1 out.

[MarketingBully01]

Makes me sick bc it should be laster starting IMO

Is Brown even fully healed? That is 4 runs he has given up in not even three full innings.

[MarketingBully01]

Last week it took 3 runs before we took him out. How long do we go with Brown?

[I seen it dawg]

Behind another hitter. And hopefully cohen pimp slaps him

[MarketingBully01]

See this is why you pitched Mitchell yesterday.

[I seen it dawg]

Collins working hard back there. Hope Laster is getting hot in a hurry.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit he's not close. 4th pitch he has thrown 58ft

[CadaverDawg]

Brown is overthrowing. Trust your sink and quit trying to blow by them, Preston

[preachermatt83]

Collins working hard back there. Hope Laster is getting hot in a hurry.

Bracewell is the one in the pen I believe

[MarketingBully01]

I'd yank him and shelf him this year. We are fine with the three starters we have (includes Laster) let him fully heal and have him for next year. This continuing to pitch him does not bode well for his confidence.

[ClancyDawg]

Another walk. Going to the pen.. Bracewell

[I seen it dawg]

Ball 4 in the other batters box. Get this shit off the mound

[ClancyDawg]

Just not a good call to start Brown. Everyone could see that.

[MarketingBully01]

Yeah, should have gone Laster to begin with but bring in Bracewell. I can see the A&M game all over again...

[I seen it dawg]

Thank you. Bracewell coming in men on 1st n 2nd

[Coach34]

Butch is as much to blame as Cohen on the decision to start Brown

[msstate7]

Ball 4 in the other batters box. Get this shit off the mound

It was a dumb decision to start Preston anyway. Laster and bracewell are pitching much better than him right now

[I seen it dawg]

Preston Brown needs to grow some ****ing stones and compete. He didn't compete at all today. Sorry ass performance. Glad it was a quick hook.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

hopefully bracewell gets us out of this down only 1.

[MarketingBully01]

Why did we start Brown? Why didn't we start Laster? He is our third best starting pitcher and it looks like he won't see the field in a very important game. We will have to score a ton to win this game.

[ClancyDawg]

Butch is as much to blame as Cohen on the decision to start Brown

I can't understand how that is allowed to happen.

[I seen it dawg]

Butch is as much to blame as Cohen on the decision to start Brown

I'd be surprised if it isn't Butchs call.

[Todd4State]

Something's not right with Preston. We need to just shut him down for now.

[ClancyDawg]

hopefully bracewell gets us out of this down only 1.

And right on cue double play!

[I seen it dawg]

I can't understand how that is allowed to happen.

Well because Butch has autonomy and so far seems to do a pretty good job with pitching. It happens a lot.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice job Ben. 1-0 them to 2nd

[Todd4State]

I can't understand how that is allowed to happen.

You have to trust your pitching coach to an extent- but if the pitching coach makes a call like this and it doesn't work, then he has to answer to Cohen.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

one pitch DP!!!

[MarketingBully01]

Luckily Bracewell bails Brown out. Hopefully, Bracewell's curve is working and can shut Bama down. We are getting no help from anyone in the SEC such as Auburn or Vandy. Going to have to win this for a bye.

[thedawg]

Something's not right with Preston. We need to just shut him down for now.

The word is the Drs suggested to Preston to have shoulder surgery and hes trying to play through it

[msstate7]

The word is the Drs suggested to Preston to have shoulder surgery and hes trying to play through it

If this is true, Cohen should step in.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

preston hasn't looked good since returning from injury. probably need to sit him for the year. laster has been lights out. we can still get 3 out of lindgren today. we have plenty of pitching left.

[I seen it dawg]

You have to trust your pitching coach to an extent- but if the pitching coach makes a call like this and it doesn't work, then he has to answer to Cohen.

He made the call and hoped the Auburn game was an anomaly. Butch was wrong and it wasn't. Only down 1-0.

[Todd4State]

Well because Butch has autonomy and so far seems to do a pretty good job with pitching. It happens a lot.

Correct. And it depends on the manager. If the manager has a background in pitching like Bud Black, then he handles more of the pitching. If the manager has a hitting background then the pitching coach usually has a lot more input.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1 pitch flyout to center by CT

Richard Cross calling the game. barf

[I seen it dawg]

Ct flys out for first out. Hendu up

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

butch, in my book, has earned the right to do what he wants. he is as good as it gets in the country. he has proven that.

[MarketingBully01]

The word is the Drs suggested to Preston to have shoulder surgery and hes trying to play through it

I think after his performances they need to shut him down have the surgery and get ready for next year. We will need him more next year then right now.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

need hendu to get going. he is sucking hind tit during sec play

[I seen it dawg]

Hendu walks

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

full count. hendu with a good at bat so far.

[Todd4State]

The word is the Drs suggested to Preston to have shoulder surgery and hes trying to play through it

I'm not surprised. Usually the first sign of a pitching injury is loss of command.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

hendu walks.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

donkey up. DP city.

[ClancyDawg]

Rea leads the conference in K's and adds to that.

[I seen it dawg]

Kea with a 3 pitch k. All fastballs. 2 out.

[CJDAWG85]

Very generous K zone so far.

[MarketingBully01]

Wow that ump is giving that strike on the outside of the plate around 6-7" off the plate for that Alabama pitcher.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

donkey Ks on 3 pitches.

[I seen it dawg]

Da grounds out. 1-0

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

groundout. heading to bottom of 2nd.

[MarketingBully01]

Kea with a 3 pitch k. All fastballs. 2 out.

Yeah, the strike out was set up by the very generous outside part of the plate. No one can hit the ball almost a foot off the plate and that ump is giving the Alabama pitcher that spot.

[deltadawg99]

Wes Rea being Wes Rea with the strike out.

[CadaverDawg]

This guy is not even throwing well, and he's shutting us down. You can tell John has the whole team looking to poke it through the right side...notice all the weak grounders opposite field. It's a good approach if you DRIVE it oppo instead of sticking your ass out and poking it oppo like we're doing.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

3 pitch strikeout for brace

[I seen it dawg]

And another k. 2 down. Ben dealing so far.

[MarketingBully01]

This guy is not even throwing well, and he's shutting us down. You can tell John has the whole team looking to poke it through the right side...notice all the weak grounders opposite field. It's a good approach if you DRIVE it oppo instead of sticking your ass out and poking it oppo like we're doing.

It also helps that when he misses his spots outside that the ump gives him a strike.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

4 pitch strikeout for brace.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

DP, you must be ahead of me. If you are going to do play by play, Ill lay low

[MarketingBully01]

Exact pitch that has been a strike for the UA pitcher just called a ball... Interesting.

[maroonmania]

Late to the thread but WHY in the world would we start Brown again rather than either Laster or Bracewell? Sometimes tough to understand how Cohen's brain works but after the last couple of weeks its been pretty obvious that Brown has lost his effectiveness since the injury because he can't keep the ball down.

[CadaverDawg]

It also helps that when he misses his spots outside that the ump gives him a strike.

Yea, but he's consistent with it. We have to adjust.

I agree this ump is bad with that outside strike though

[I seen it dawg]

****ing walk to 8hole hitting 182 with 2 outs. FOCUS

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

ump wont give us the same plate

[CadaverDawg]

Yea, but he's consistent with it. We have to adjust.

I agree this ump is bad with that outside strike though

Scratch that...inconsistent. Brace just threw same pitch, called ball 4

[CadaverDawg]

Don't walk 8 & 9

[I seen it dawg]

Exact pitch that has been a strike for the UA pitcher just called a ball... Interesting.

Bc Gavin set up inside and had to reach across the plate. Ben has to control the zone better and locate. Now with 2 easy outs he's all over the place. It's why he doesn't pitch more.

[I seen it dawg]

Come on Ben locate

[MarketingBully01]

Bullshit, that ball was a strike the whole game except on a 3-2 count....

[CadaverDawg]

Let him hit it, Ben

[CadaverDawg]

Shit

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

how is that a ball? this ump blows.

[MarketingBully01]

Bc Gavin set up inside and had to reach across the plate. Ben has to control the zone better and locate. Now with 2 easy outs he's all over the place. It's why he doesn't pitch more.

Their catcher was doing the same thing. I know what you mean but he isn't hitting his spots at all either. Watch when he is out there next inning. He is all over the place.

[I seen it dawg]

That was a strike. But Ben isn't around the zone consistently so he won't get borderline or close pitches. Fn locate and he will get those calls. Walking 8&9 with 2 outs is inexcusable and shows lack of toughness.

[CadaverDawg]

Jesus. 2 K's and then implosion

[I seen it dawg]

And now a cross up

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

pass ball. 2nd and 3rd. 2 outs.

[I seen it dawg]

Cruising along then shit down you're leg. ****

[maroonmania]

Exactly, those same pitches were strikes to us in the top half of the inning.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

1-2 count

[CadaverDawg]

Good Grief. hbp

[I seen it dawg]

Get this fn trash out of here. Goddammit it's why you don't pitch Ben. ****ing compete out there captain.

[maroonmania]

Whew, that could have been bad.

[MarketingBully01]

Then get out of it. Top of the third 1-0 Bama.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

bracewell hits him. bases loaded. bring in lindgren.

[CadaverDawg]

Whew!

[I seen it dawg]

Somebody needs to kick Ben in the nuts in the dugout. Or scream at him or something. Top 3 still 1-0 miraculously.

[MarketingBully01]

Now if I know SEC umpiring that plate will get dang small now. Hopefully starting this top of the inning.

[Todd4State]

That was close.

[CadaverDawg]

We need to score some damn runs. Somebody show some stones and hit the ball like a man. Doesn't matter how good we pitch if we can't score a damn run.

[CadaverDawg]

This ump is a damn joke

[MarketingBully01]

WTF, this ump is calling chaser pitches strikes. That first pitch was a ball off the plate. This guy really really sucks.

[Todd4State]

This ump probably got pissed at someone in our dugout yelling at him about the strike zone.

[maroonmania]

Ump getting ridiculous calling the strike at Britton's ankles.

[CadaverDawg]

We have to swing at everything bc this ump sucks ass. I'm not one to ever bitch about umps, but Jesus, EVERYTHING this guy throws is not a strike, Blue!

[deltadawg99]

Hitting and catching is going to keep us from making a deep run. Lots of line drives and pop outs

[Air of The Dawg]

WTF,
this ump is calling chaser pitches strikes. That first pitch was a ball off the plate. This guy really really sucks.

He be ready to head to the house.

[maroonmania]

Boy, we need Vandy to come through because I don't get a good feeling about our chances today.

[MarketingBully01]

Finally he called that pitch a ball.

[CadaverDawg]

Lefties hit this guy better than righties on the year, yet we start a Right hand dominant lineup?

[LiterallyPolice]

Boy, we need Vandy to come through because I don't get a good feeling about our chances today.

I know these scenarios have been discussed a lot.... But refresh my memory: if USC wins and we lose... Do we lose the bye?

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Gavin, need a big rip here

[I seen it dawg]

We wonder why Preston (may still be hurt), Woody, Bracewell don't pitch more....they have no stones. You have to be a mean bastard to pitch in this league and they are far from it. We have to have guys like Ross and Trevor...run out there and bring it. Win or lose they are going to compete til the end and give us a chance.

[MarketingBully01]

I know these scenarios have been discussed a lot.... But refresh my memory: if USC wins and we lose... Do we lose the bye?

Yep.

[I seen it dawg]

We need a gapper

[CadaverDawg]

Damn

[maroonmania]

Dang Collins, what are you swinging at? Not showing discipline at the plate.

[I seen it dawg]

K burger. 2 left. 1-0 them bottom of 3

[mparkerfd20]

Collins has sucked at the plate as of lateml.

[MarketingBully01]

Lowest seed we can be is 3 highest is 5. If Vandy wins, we will be 4. If we win today, we are 3 regardless.

[maroonmania]

I know these scenarios have been discussed a lot.... But refresh my memory: if USC wins and we lose... Do we lose the bye?

As I understand it, yes. LSU and SC would both pass us for the bye.

[BulldogBear]

ump wont give us the same plate

...must think it's a football game

[CadaverDawg]

...must think it's a football game

+1

[Air of The Dawg]

Playing like p**p does not equate to wondering about seed position.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

well the umps gave us the game yesterday so we just got to play through this.

[CadaverDawg]

Ben is fortunate so far, bc he is missing spots bad these last 4 batters

[CadaverDawg]

He better get the ball down or Bama will light him up

[I seen it dawg]

Great pitch. Unreal

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

ole miss down 2 with 3 innings to go. LSU sweeps. We NEED to win today.

[MarketingBully01]

For Bracewell being a senior, he sure makes under classman mistakes. He should have let Rea get that one.

[CadaverDawg]

It's time for Rea to sit permanently I'm afraid.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

fister single to rea.

[ClancyDawg]

Same spot as ALL THE OTHERS. Ball this time

[maroonmania]

Lefties hit this guy better than righties on the year, yet we start a Right hand dominant lineup?

Because Cohen is obsessed with the "matchup" being by the book. He would as soon have lefty batting .100 against a righty as he would a righty batting .400 against a righty. Same with righty batting against a lefty. A LH hitter does normally have more trouble with LH pitching but righty batters against righty pitching isn't usually much of an issue.

[CadaverDawg]

**** you ump

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Tennessee beats florida and raises our rpi 2 spots to 27

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

K looking down the middle. 2 down. runner on 1st.

[CadaverDawg]

Ok, let's score. Can't win without scoring guys

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

groundout. heading to 4th down 1-0

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

ole miss ties it at 5

[DudyDawg]

Just got on here. Been driving all day to Houma for the night. Who started for us and how's he looking. And how are we looking as a whole

[CadaverDawg]

This isn't going to be our day, I've got a bad feeling

[CadaverDawg]

Just got on here. Been driving all day to Houma for the night. Who started for us and how's he looking. And how are we looking as a whole

Brown started, gave up a first pitch bomb. Didn't make it through the 2nd. Bracewell has pitched ok since then. Bana's only hit is the HR. Our bats suck.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

hendu on 1st. 1 out.

[Todd4State]

Just got on here. Been driving all day to Houma for the night. Who started for us and how's he looking. And how are we looking as a whole

Preston started. Gave up a first pitch home run. Then started walking people. Bracewell in doing OK so far despite inconsistent ump. Hitting about the same.

[CadaverDawg]

Rea needs to sit for good

[Todd4State]

ole miss ties it at 5

I hate Texas A&M.

[DudyDawg]

Brown started, gave up a first pitch bomb. Didn't make it through the 2nd. Bracewell has pitched ok since then. Bana's only hit is the HR. Our bats suck.
Wish we had started Laster

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

wes hits a moon rocket to cf. 2 down.

cross giving ole miss the suck job.

[CadaverDawg]

Cohen is a great coach, and I'm glad we have him. That being said... I wonder if he is embarrassed that we suck so horribly at the plate, being a hitting coach and all

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Armstrong flys out to right.

[maroonmania]

SC with bases loaded and 1 out in the top of the 8th in Nashville with game still tied at 2.

[maroonmania]

We may be 18-11 in the SEC but our offense still sucks in every way.

[BulldogBear]

Because Cohen is obsessed with the "matchup" being by the book. He would as soon have lefty batting .100 against a righty as he would a righty batting .400 against a righty. Same with righty batting against a lefty. A LH hitter does normally have more trouble with LH pitching but righty batters against righty pitching isn't usually much of an issue.

That is what I call coaching from the numbers and not doing enough coaching from the gut. Cohen is a great coach but the true legends are the ones that know how to mix both ways just when it's needed.

[maroonmania]

Come on Bracewell, that was way too good of a pitch on 0-2.

[CadaverDawg]

Too much plate on 0-2 Ben

[Todd4State]

Cohen is a great coach, and I'm glad we have him. That being said... I wonder if he is embarrassed that we suck so horribly at the plate, being a hitting coach and all

I'm sure he's not real thrilled with a few players.

I'm going to pull a Hugh Freeze and say that we just have to recruit a few better hitters so that this doesn't happen again.

[maroonmania]

That is what I call coaching from the numbers and not doing enough coaching from the gut. Cohen is a great coach but the true legends are the ones that know how to mix both ways just when it's needed.

I'm not sure batting a much weaker hitter just to get a "matchup" is even in the book. Yes, for equivalent hitters it makes sense but having a matchup just for the sake of having a matchup is dumb.

[ClancyDawg]

That is what I call coaching from the numbers.

What Cadaver stated means its specifically not coaching from the numbers. The gut tells you to go with a matchup, the numbers say thats not always going to be the case.

[maroonmania]

Well, if we don't win today it looks like we will be playing on Tuesday. SC up 3-2 in the 8th now still with the bases loaded and 1 out.

[BulldogBear]

Tennessee beats florida and raises our rpi 2 spots to 27


Nice. Now we need to come thru and get some help from Faggies to hang our banner****

But TAMU is that school that seems to never win (or lose) when you need them to. SEC has one in every sport.

[deltadawg99]

Big strike out

[BulldogBear]

17 TAMU. Ole Miss now up 6-5

[ClancyDawg]

Bunting skills must not be taught in high schools anymore. If your name isn't Vanderbilt you likely are going to have issues with it.

[Todd4State]

Nice. Now we need to come thru and get some help from Faggies to hang our banner****

But TAMU is that school that seems to never win (or lose) when you need them to. SEC has one in every sport.

Everyone talks about what a great fit they are for the SEC- and they just seem to 17 things up.

[Todd4State]

17 TAMU. Ole Miss now up 6-5

Shocking**

I sincerely hope they lose out in the SEC Tournament and get left at home.

[BulldogBear]

Well, if we don't win today it looks like we will be playing on Tuesday. SC up 3-2 in the 8th now still with the bases loaded and 1 out.

So, why would SC have tie breaker over us?

[Todd4State]

So, why would SC have tie breaker over us?

Because they beat Ole Miss two out of three.

[CadaverDawg]

Doesn't matter, bc if we lose we are a 2 seed at best anyway. Not that I feel we have a shot at hosting regardless. Would be nice to win the tourney, but other than that, a bye means nothing if we lose today

[BulldogBear]

Because they beat Ole Miss two out of three.

Highest ranked common opponent?

[maroonmania]

I believe SC gets the tiebreak over us due to results against OM. They took 2 from OM while we only took 1. I'm still amazed we are going to finish no worse than 18-12 in the league. That is squeezing about as much as you can from a team with an offense as anemic as ours.

[Todd4State]

Highest ranked common opponent?

Highest in the SEC standings.

[I seen it dawg]

We have to win. SC blowing it open

[CadaverDawg]

Man, this ump can kiss my ass.

[Todd4State]

Not to mention Woodruff was supposed to be our ace and that didn't happen- and then we lost Preston Brown to an injury. AND trying to see if he was "back" cost us at least the Texas A&M game and possible this one. And damn near the Tennessee game on Sunday.

[BulldogBear]

Highest in the SEC standings.

That's what I meant.

What really sucks is thinking that if we had just say... 10 more clutch hits this year we might be outright champions of SEC regular season

[BulldogBear]

Any update on Girls?

[Todd4State]

That's what I meant.

What really sucks is thinking that if we had just say... 10 more clutch hits this year we might be outright champions of SEC regular season

Or if we didn't puss out on Ole Miss on Sunday.

[maroonmania]

2 freakin' hits so far. To me this is by far the most boring to watch "good" MSU team ever.

[CadaverDawg]

Any update on Girls?

Our batting order is full of em today?

[Air of The Dawg]

Ouch.....

[maroonmania]

Not to mention Woodruff was supposed to be our ace and that didn't happen- and then we lost Preston Brown to an injury. AND trying to see if he was "back" cost us at least the Texas A&M game and possible this one. And damn near the Tennessee game on Sunday.

Just shows how poor we are on offense when we are already postulating that Brown giving up a solo HR in the first is possibly going to cost us this game.

[CadaverDawg]

Never seen a strike zone this wide. Our team is bad enough at the plate without an ump like this

[deltadawg99]

Our hitting is so damn embarrassing

[CadaverDawg]

Start warming up Lindgren...this is usually about as far as Brace can go.

[Todd4State]

Our hitting is so damn embarrassing

Kind of hard to hit something that isn't a strike.

[DawgSaint]

Any update on Girls?

I know we took 4-0 lead into the 5th

[maroonmania]

So what time do we play on Tuesday?

[CadaverDawg]

Ballgame.

I'm going to change the mojo and just follow on here. I'm turning it off on ESPN3. Gotta get primed for postseason superstition.

[CadaverDawg]

Told you we should have had Lingo warm. I knew this would be Ben's last inning.

[Saltydog]

the shit outta Vandy and we're back to hitting like shit.

[Todd4State]

the shit outta Vandy and we're back to hitting like shit.

Good move on their part to cancel two games to get the bye by percentage points.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

bama with a solo shot. down 2-0 and bracewell finishes inning. he has pitched pretty well today

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

pirtle leadoff walk

[maroonmania]

It is so MState to have the bye until the last day and then lose it. And all we needed was for Vandy to win their series at home or Auburn to win one game at home and neither happened. Auburn's team apparently didn't even show up. They must have sent their cheerleaders to play LSU this weekend.

[CadaverDawg]

pirtle leadoff walk

My superstition off to a good start. Keep it goin Ennis...I cut it off

[maroonmania]

Close but no cigar.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Collins just misses 2 run bomb. 1 down.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

ct single to left. 1st and 2nd. 1 out.

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

pitching change

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Baby!! Somebody come through!!

[DudyDawg]

Finally arrived to a cold beer and a tv. Can anyone gimme the summary so far (besides the bomb). Any screw ups or are we just continuing the MSU "hitting" tradition

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

A&M takes 7-6 lead on ole miss. WE NEED A BOMB HERE!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

boring game. no hits really. 2 solo bombs. nothing else really.

[CadaverDawg]

A&M takes 7-6 lead on ole miss. WE NEED A BOMB HERE!

Could this be the superstition kicking in early this season??

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

we PH Cody brown for Demarcus.

[preachermatt83]

RISP with Rea up... STRIKEOUT LOOKING AND MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE!

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

Brown advances runners on a groundout to pitcher. they could've turned 2 easily?

[preachermatt83]

we PH Cody brown for Demarcus.

We take this left/right matchup stuff WAYYYYYY too serious. Geez!

[Saltydog]

fall back in it. Rea is horrible right now.

[maroonmania]

Why am I surprised Brown and Rea didn't come through with a clutch hit there? I shouldn't be.

[preachermatt83]

I am so sick of Wes Rea playing. He is my least favorite Bulldawg of the Cohen era.

[CadaverDawg]

Could this be the superstition kicking in early this season??

Nope...

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

with 2 outs and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Donkey grounds out.

[38843dawg]

Calling Rea horrible is an understatement.

[deltadawg99]

Wes rea with runners in scoring position is like Devon bell lining up for a game winning field goal.

Time to bench rea. Move detz to forts and have RH on the dh spot

[38843dawg]

And now Woodruff...

[Esmerelda Villalobos]

bringing woody in?

my guess is that cohen wasn't pitching laster today because he planned on doing it Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Quaoarsking]

Ole Miss loses. If we come back and win, we win the West.

[preachermatt83]

And now Woodruff...

Laster must be starting first game of SEC Tourney with Lingo sitting ready.

[maroonmania]

We take this left/right matchup stuff WAYYYYYY too serious. Geez!

Well I didn't mind that one too much. Brown has been hot lately and has HR power but just didn't come through.

[Bucky Dog]

Score?

[BulldogBear]

Our batting order is full of em today?

The softball game... or this one? ;)

[maroonmania]

Calling Rea horrible is an understatement.

Agree, and he had some VERY hittable pitches in that at bat.
