Dawgs vs. Kentucky

[RossDawg82]

Ross is on the bump. This leads to the question, would you rather pitch by committee tonight and save Ross for the Florida game? Part of me thinks yes since Kentucky is starting a freshman and they are a nine seed. What are your thoughts?

[Bucky Dog]

Anybody go the lineup and what time do we start?

[ClancyDawg]

Still need WJ unlocked.. Michelle agrees

[DudyDawg]

Why is Vick hitting second. I just don't think he's there yet to deserve dh and batting second if we are gonna use a lefty there, use Detz IMO

[ClancyDawg]

I tend to agree

[Bucky Dog]

Not sure about the uniforms!!

[CadaverDawg]

Post a pic of the uniforms

[ClancyDawg]

And on cue Vick hits one thru the 6 hole

[rcsteph1]

I know I'm probably the only one but I kinda like the uni's tonight.

[DudyDawg]

And on cue Vick hits one thru the 6 hole

First time state has gotten a hit and I wasn't thrilled. Just cause we said that haha. But still I don't want him at second, if he is going hit

[DudyDawg]

They apparently have five lefties in the lineup. Probably should've shuffled that against Ross......!

[CadaverDawg]

Play by play? We batting?

[Bucky Dog]

Play by play? We batting?

Single by Vick then 4-6-3 by Pirtle. Bottom of first now one out and man on first for KY

[rcsteph1]

one out walk for Ross. AJ Reed up

[ClancyDawg]

I bet AJ Reed's WAR is ridiculous

[DudyDawg]

I don't think I've ever seen a college team shift. We just did it for reed. And it worked. #Cohening works in the post season I suppose.

[rcsteph1]

We played the shift. Get Reed at first. 2 outs Runner on 2nd

[DapperDawg]

I wonder if these baggy (horrible) uniforms will affect the teams play.

[MetEdDawg]

I know I'm probably the only one but I kinda like the uni's tonight.

I really like them too. I've always been a fan of charcoal grey. People hate Adidas on here but at least they are working for us and giving us options. You can't complain these look anything like TAMU, you can't complain that they aren't unique. I guess some on here could complain they say Hail State and are too far away from our traditional stuff but I like them a lot. We are trying to brand Hail State and I'm fine with that. It's something people ask me about constantly so I think it's working to some degree to at least separate us from OM and get us a little name recognition.

[rcsteph1]

Fly ball out. Leave one stranded.

[Bucky Dog]

I like how aggressive we are being at the plate. Swinging at a lot of first pitch strikes.

[rcsteph1]

I agree. If I heard right the other night, the announcers said that Adidas wanted us to be "their Oregon" equivalent

[DudyDawg]

Seth heck is quietly a favorite for first team SEC SS. At least the stats say so. Especially since he led the league in field percentage. He's a really solid shortstop and would love to see him hit second every day next season with some more pop in the three and four holes

[rcsteph1]

Cody brown grounds to short get collins out at 2nd, bad throw Brown moves to second. 2 outs Hendu at plate

[Dawg61]

We look like baggy aluminum foil

[breazy]

hendu groundout to second

[Bucky Dog]

I agree. If I heard right the other night, the announcers said that Adidas wanted us to be "their Oregon" equivalent

CT might trip over his pants!!

[rcsteph1]

Thomas flies out to Bradford. 1 out

[Dawgcentral]

Somebody tell the Kentucky pitcher he's allowed to shave his neck.

[ClancyDawg]

Dive for the ball Rea!!!!!

[Bucky Dog]

Rea should have had that ball. Went right under his glove.

[rcsteph1]

Single past rea. runner on first one out

[DapperDawg]

Ross not looking too good so far.

[Bucky Dog]

Damn that should have been a DP but Ross bobbled it! LSU?!

[rcsteph1]

Ball smoked back up the middle. Runners on 1st and 2nd

[Dawg61]

Ross takes a full windup before throwing to 2nd

[msstate7]

Damn that should have been a DP but Ross bobbled it! LSU?!

Let's hope this ends better

[Dawg61]

Ross escapes

[Bucky Dog]

FO to CF. Going to top of 3 0-0

[rcsteph1]

Fly out to Bradford. Going to top of 3rd 0-0

[preachermatt83]

if we lose this game, Ref better hide! We need his Play by Play!!!

[breazy]

rea lead off single past the sliding second baseman

[rcsteph1]

Rea singles past 2b

[DudyDawg]

Wes hammered one on the ground at the 2b who tries to slide/backhand it and it skips over into right. Probably should've made the play but Wes put a good swing on it

[ClancyDawg]

GD that was stupid

[breazy]

and now he's stealing bases lol. man on 2nd 0 outs

[Bucky Dog]

Rea is really trying to take everything opposite field it seems like. Sharp single and he steals second!!!!!

[rcsteph1]

WES REA WITH A STOLEN BASE

[breazy]

sac bunt puts rea on third.

[DudyDawg]

and now he's stealing bases lol. man on 2nd 0 outs

Hahah when hit and runs go wrong!! Knocked the second basemans glove off to be safe. Maybe would've beaten it anyways tho hah! Britton bunts him to third one down

[Bucky Dog]

Cue Clancy/WK on the sac bunt

[rcsteph1]

Took the ball and glove with his slide. Britton bunts him over to third with one out now

[breazy]

hate bradfords stance, bring the bat down so it's not the first thing you have to do before swinging. Think it would speed him up a little bit

[ClancyDawg]

Cue Clancy/WK on the sac bunt

Correct

[Bucky Dog]

I don't like the bunt there either! Swing the damn bats. It's the third freaking inning!!!

[ClancyDawg]

Too big of a cut CT!!!!!

[Dawg61]

Bradford K

[breazy]

bradford k's swinging on a belt high fb

[msstate7]

Horrible by ct. He's been good lately, but that was terrible

[rcsteph1]

CT strikes out. 2 down Rea on third

[ClancyDawg]

I don't like the bunt there either! Swing the damn bats. It's the third freaking inning!!!

Against this shitty pitcher we need to pounce. Agreed.

[DapperDawg]

What the **** is Cohen doing with this lineup? Last night's did well, so let's change it up again and put Vickerson at #2. Jesus Christ!

[breazy]

rea stranded on third by groundout to second

[ClancyDawg]

"They are 17th in the nation in walks.. They are a team that puts the ball in play"

Anyone else catch that? Announcers are retards.

[rcsteph1]

Vickerson grounds out to 2nd Strands Rea on Third

[msstate7]

What the **** is Cohen doing with this lineup? Last night's did well, so let's change it up again and put Vickerson at #2. Jesus Christ!

That inning wasn't Vicks fault. Ct has to put the ball in play there

[messageboardsuperhero]

Absolutely terrible AB by CT. You have got to put the ball in play there.

We probably lead the country in runners left on third with less than two outs.

[rcsteph1]

"They are 17th in the nation in walks.. They are a team that puts the ball in play"

Anyone else catch that? Announcers are retards.

I was scratching my head on that one

[Bucky Dog]

Don't start this again Cohen. You already have a guy in scoring position at second with no outs in the third inning. Let Britton swing. He is left handed and even if he grounds out he more than likely advances the runner anyway. Don't give up the outs this early.

[RougeDawg]

This announcer is basically repeating everything I've said about hitting and approach. CT not choking up there and shortening his swing is the reason he K'd. He was taking huge swings when all we needed was contact. Non disciplined AB and it all goes back to coaching. Cost a run.

[DudyDawg]

That inning wasn't Vicks fault. Ct has to put the ball in play there

I agree that run is on CT taking three home run hacks there. But I really don't like Vick at second

[preachermatt83]

if we gave any kind of run support to Ross he would never lose. Its like we refuse to hit when he is pitching

[msstate7]

I agree that run is on CT taking three home run hacks there. But I really don't like Vick at second

Gotcha. Not crazy about it myself

[breazy]

ross has to frustrate the crap out of hitters. He's one of those guys you know you can hit, but then you get up there and he's making you look stupid despite only hitting like 82 lol.




oh and leadoff groundout to ross and second batter grounds out to 2nd

[ClancyDawg]

I agree that run is on CT taking three home run hacks there. But I really don't like Vick at second

Its on CT 40% Cohen 40% and JV 20%

[ClancyDawg]

I said only a few days ago the shifts would be the next movement in college ball and Cohen would be an early leader in it.

Will James on the cutting edge aGAIN

[breazy]

super shift on for wood/whaterver his name is ground out to mid second(is that a thing)?

[rcsteph1]

if we gave any kind of run support to Ross he would never lose. Its like we refuse to hit when he is pitching

Makes no sense

[ClancyDawg]

I don't think we should bunt here.

[breazy]

leadoff single to left field

[Dawg61]

63 games in a row for Pirtle!! Wow

[ClancyDawg]

I don't like the H&R either, but better than a bunt. Come on just let them hit this pitcher is not good.

[Bucky Dog]

Awfully close play at first

[breazy]

high chopper to seccond close play at first on hit and run. man on second, one out uk's coach visiting the mound

[rcsteph1]

If the hit and run wasn't on there that was a chance of a double play. However, I think Heck was safe

[Bucky Dog]

Collins is going to rip this 2-0 fastball.

[breazy]

4 pitch walk, man on 1st and 2nd 1 out

[blacklistedbully]

Yep, I think ump Irby may have screwed us there. Whatever happened to, "tie goes to the runner"?

[ClancyDawg]

Yep, I think ump Irby may have screwed us there. Whatever happened to, "tie goes to the runner"?

Not actually in the rule book

[breazy]

Not actually in the rule book


convenient for a game with so many "unwritten rules" lol

[Bucky Dog]

This has to be our inning right here!

[breazy]

ground ball to second, ball bobbled, only got the runner going to second..men on 1st and 3rd, 2 outs

[Dawg61]

Gift drop needs to be taken advantage of

[ClancyDawg]

Sweet!

[Dawg61]

Wow gift PB 1-0 good guys

[breazy]

wild pitch runner on 1st advances to 2nd, runner on 3rd stays put


another wild pitch both runners advance

score msu 1 uk 0

[Bucky Dog]

Pick up the second run Hendu

[breazy]

hendu walked, runners on 1st and 3rd, 2 outs

[Dawg61]

Big Wes heating up?

[Bucky Dog]

Rea needs to clear the sacks here.

[Bucky Dog]

This pitcher is over throwing. Let Wes swing at this 2-0 pitch.

[breazy]

UK having a pow wow, pitching change coming uo

[Bucky Dog]

They are brining in a HIgh School lefty with a 7.54 ERA

[breazy]

rea walks, bases juiced, britton at bat 2 outs

[breazy]

and a first pitch chopper to first for the third out

[DapperDawg]

Britton has returned to his horrible batting self, of old.

[Bucky Dog]

Shit. Britton GB to first for third out.

[rcsteph1]

way to go britton, leaves bases loaded

[msstate7]

Why did he swing at first pitch? Should've been take sign

[Bucky Dog]

That's actually where I would have been ok with Britton taking a strike. That pitch was on his hands. If he is going to swing make it be perfect.

[breazy]

didnt realize mitchell came from such pedegree

[maroonmania]

So far not getting any key hits. Didn't get Rea home from 3rd with 1 out and left the sacks full there with Britton. On another note, are we playing in our pajamas tonight? I wouldn't mind the tops if we were not wearing the exact same color pants. Looks like a onesie.

[breazy]

thomas hits hung curve ball out of park

[blacklistedbully]

Shit. HR ties it.

[Bucky Dog]

The bomb ties it at 1-1

[Dawg61]

Ugh Ross just misses the all-time record by 5 outs I think

[maroonmania]

Ross is having a lot of trouble keeping the ball down tonight and they finally made him pay. I don't think I have ever seen him with so many fly ball outs.

[rcsteph1]

Well shit

[breazy]

bunt fielded by mitchell 0 on 2 outs, game tied at 1

[breazy]

groundout to second for third out. goin to top next inning lol

[ClancyDawg]

Can't play for one early

Good thing is we have Ross pitching and they have some shitty freshman.

[msstate7]

Hope stranding all these runners doesn't bite us

[DapperDawg]

Hope stranding all these runners doesn't bite us

It will. We've reverted back to retardation at the plate.

[Bucky Dog]

If we get 3 runs for Ross that will be enough.

[breazy]

leadoff opposite field hit by bradford to left field

[Bucky Dog]

Pirtle is on fire! Do we bunt here Will?

[DapperDawg]

Did the announcer just say "out on the left coast"?

[blacklistedbully]

Lead of batter on. Successful sac bunt follows. Runner at 2b, 1 out

[breazy]

vickerson sac bunt, bradford to second, 1 out runner on 2nd

[Bucky Dog]

Pirtle is on fire! Do we bunt here Will?

The answer is yes for Pirtle to drive Bradford in. I've been drinking tonight!

[breazy]

yes...sadly(in reference to left coast question)

[ClancyDawg]

Pirtle is on fire! Do we bunt here Will?

I would have hit away.

[RC3]

Take the handcuffs off our team. We proved last night we can get in a groove, hit and string some runs together. Just play some baseball dammit

[breazy]

pirtle fly out to center, 2 outs runner still on 2nd

[blacklistedbully]

Fly out to shallow center, 2 down, runner stays at 2b

[ClancyDawg]

Take the handcuffs off our team. We proved last night we can get in a groove, hit and string some runs together. Just play some baseball dammit

Agreed. The pitchers we are facing tonight are horrible.

[breazy]

heck w/ single to right center, bradford scores 2-1 dogs

[ClancyDawg]

My boy Seth MF Heck!

WJ Fall American!

[DapperDawg]

Thank you, Heck. Amazing what happens when you swing away against a guy with an era nearing 8.

[Bucky Dog]

I'm starting to love Seth Heck. Huge two out clutch hit to bring home CT.

[msstate7]

Didn't like the sac, but can't argue with result. Big hit heck

[breazy]

collins groundball hit through right side 1st and 2nd 2 outs

[grinnindawg]

Maroooon ..... Really Dark Gray ....... Maroooon ... Really Dark Gray ......

[rcsteph1]

Cody Browns time lets keep getting these two out singles/

[ClancyDawg]

Balk!

[preachermatt83]

Maroooon ..... Really Dark Gray ....... Maroooon ... Really Dark Gray ......

I laughed!

[breazy]

balk, runners on 2nd and 3rd 2 outs

[breazy]

I laughed!

me too

[ClancyDawg]

That's only 3 balls Cody... Nice try though

[breazy]

4 pitch walk. bases juiced 2 outs. nm balk pitch doesn't count

[ClancyDawg]

Swinging 3-0! Cody rounding first then correcting was SCARY!

[breazy]

infield hit to first, runners 2nd and 3rd 2 outs

[Bucky Dog]

Holy shit! Cody swings on 3-0 and smokes it to 1B and a run scores!

[Dawg61]

3-1 yea baby

[breazy]

new pitcher coming in

[msstate7]

Jim brought up good point. Did Cohen turn brown loose on 3-0?

[ClancyDawg]

Jim brought up good point. Did Cohen turn brown loose on 3-0?

He had no clue of the count earlier in the AB, may have forgotten there too.

[rcsteph1]

Jim brought up good point. Did Cohen turn brown loose on 3-0?

It looked like collins was asking the same question when he got to third

[breazy]

lazy fly to right by henderson, going to bottom of 5th, 3-1 good guys

[ClancyDawg]

Damn lazy fly out

[Dawg61]

Kentucky trash in RF has his entire shirt unbuttoned

[msstate7]

Come on Ross. Make it stand up

[breazy]

lead off basehit, almost picked off at first. collins can't catch lol

[ClancyDawg]

Kentucky trash in RF has his entire shirt unbuttoned

Somehow he left Harlan alive

[msstate7]

Ross is making me nervous tonight

[breazy]

sac bunt failed, mitchel got runner at second. man on first, 1 out

[ClancyDawg]

We'll take that free out with y'all down two morons. Lead runner is icing on the cake.

[breazy]

hot ground ball to second, low throw to second, get lead runner, but hitter is safe. 2 outs runner on first

[breazy]

another rocket to pirtle at second, hitter out, 3-1 top of the 6th

[Bucky Dog]

Do NOT bunt!

[ClancyDawg]

Hit the ball Mattchew

[RTO Dawg]

"Death by a thousand paper cuts"

[breazy]

rea w/ line drive base hit up the middle. man on 1st, 0 outs

[ClancyDawg]

Holy shit 8" outside

[ClancyDawg]

See what happens when you swing.

Let CT hit this garbage fool and let's end this thing.

[breazy]

basehit ground ball past third, men on 1st and 2nd no outs

[Bucky Dog]

Look what happens when we swing away!!

[Bucky Dog]

Do NOT bunt!where are you Will Clancy??

[ClancyDawg]

Come on put them away John

[breazy]

sac bunt by ct, runners move to 2nd and 3rd, 1 out

[dogshiek]

Big Wes is getting a work out.

[ClancyDawg]

JV fly ball machine comes thru

[breazy]

fly ball to left, rea tags, 4-1 dogs, runner on 3rd 2 outs

[Acid mouth]

Excellent job moving runners with the bunts tonight

[preachermatt83]

vickerson has been hitting fly balls all year but never seems to do it in a sacrifice situation until now... things are coming together fellas!

[dogshiek]

"Winning on the legs of Wes Rea"

[ClancyDawg]

Problem when you play for 1 is that you sometimes get it.

[breazy]

fly ball to right, going to bottom of 6th 4-1 dogs

[ClancyDawg]

And that's why you maximize your runs. Damnit!!!!!!!!

[Dawg61]

Sloppy gives UK a run. 4-2 0 outs

[breazy]

4 pitch walk then bloop hit by next hitter, then bad news bears, then runner on 2nd, 4-2 dogs

[rcsteph1]

Sloppy ass baseball give them a run back

[ClancyDawg]

We know they can score runs in BUNCHES.

[breazy]

basehit through left side, runners on corners, no outs

[ClancyDawg]

Furious right now.

[Bucky Dog]

We need a K or a DP right here.

[blacklistedbully]

shit...shit..shit..shit!

[Dawg61]

Ross getting pulled soon?

[messageboardsuperhero]

Man, all their weak ass grounders are finding holes this inning.

[breazy]

someone else is gonna have to do play by play. for a while

[maroonmania]

A walk, a chopper double and a seeing eye single and UK has the go ahead run to the plate with no outs.

[rcsteph1]

Here we go

[ClancyDawg]

Need a double play ball here bad. K would be great but that's not Ross

[Bucky Dog]

Damnit Collins

[DapperDawg]

We're witnessing the beginning of an epic collapse.

[Dawg61]

17 we are sloppy this inning

[blacklistedbully]

dammit, defense is failing us.

[msstate7]

Tighten up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blacklistedbully]

tying runs in scoring position, no outs. now 1 out, 4-3. 1-out, tying run on 3rd.

[preachermatt83]

after seeing Ross all night I couldn't imagine trying to hit a 95 mph fastball, Id go to Hudson.

[Dawg61]

IBB and try for the DP

[BulldogBear]

17 we are sloppy this inning

Yep, suddenly can't do anything right. Gonna take more runs to win this one I'm afraid.

[BulldogBear]

Anybody hearing Indian war drums?

[maroonmania]

I really wish there we had just held the runner at second.

[blacklistedbully]

tied up. Off Heck's glove. F@$%!!!!!

[Bucky Dog]

Shit

[rcsteph1]

we are giving this game away

[Dawgface]

They tied that up quick.

[blacklistedbully]

3 runs on just 1 hard-hit ball.

[Dawg61]

Stupid to bring the INF in there. I'd walk and try for 2 or bring in relief and try for a K. Ugly

[messageboardsuperhero]

This inning has just been a combination of shitty luck and bad defense. Ross Mitchell really has done nothing wrong.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

And the piss it away job is on

[ClancyDawg]

.......... We have to play for the big innings early....... Get cute in the 8th not early! Damn we cost ourselves so damn much. **** against this offense who you know will score!!!!

[blacklistedbully]

bracewell heating up in bullpen

[msstate7]

This inning has just been a combination of shitty luck and bad defense. Ross Mitchell really has done nothing wrong.
Lead off walk wasn't his fault?

[Dawg61]

Get him out of there

[Bucky Dog]

It's past time to pull Ross

[blacklistedbully]

now 1st & 2nd, 1 out. Bracewell coming in for mitchell.

[msstate7]

Ross has been great this year, but he's been pathetic tonight

[messageboardsuperhero]

Lead off walk wasn't his fault?

Considering it was to AJ Reed, it probably wasn't the worst thing in the world.

[ClancyDawg]

Their pitchers are garbage. We needed to PUT THEM AWAY and we didnt. After Bracewell we fall off a lot. Woody better freaking be on and not have some bull shit going on mentally.

[Dawg61]

Gotta get out of this inning tied

[msstate7]

Considering it was to AJ Reed, it probably wasn't the worst thing in the world.

4-1 at that point. I'd rather him hit his way on

[Percho]

This inning has just been a combination of shitty luck and bad defense. Ross Mitchell really has done nothing wrong.

Other than walking the lead off.

[maroonmania]

Well this game turned sour in a hurry. Something wasn't right with Ross though because he was giving up way more fly balls than normal.

[Dawg61]

Perfect curve right over the plate and ump calls it a ball. Thanks blue

[msstate7]

Come on bb

[Dawg61]

Escape it tied 4-4. That. Was. Ugly.

[ClancyDawg]

Collins should have dropped the people's elbow on Reed sliding in.

[fishwater99]

4-1 at that point. I'd rather him hit his way on

I agree, then we left him in too long.
Typical.

Need some runs now.

[msstate7]

Really good job bb

[LiterallyPolice]

Nice job Bracewell. That was ugly.... But we got a bit unlucky in spots as well.

We're still in good shape. Their pitchers haven't been dealing very well.

[ClancyDawg]

Heck can hit fellas

[msstate7]

Need an answer here

[messageboardsuperhero]

4-1 at that point. I'd rather him hit his way on

I would too, but considering it was Reed, the walk wasn't AS BAD as normal. That was Mitchell's only real mistake that inning.

[DapperDawg]

Are we really about to give up an out with a ****ing bunt?!

[Bucky Dog]

It's probably going to take 7-8 runs now to win. It's good to see Pirtle and Rea hitting well in post season.

[ClancyDawg]

Christ Cohen... Not with Collins against this dunce. Do you not expect them to score again? Come on!!
