Game 2 vs. Marshall Game Thread

[TheRef]

Starting lineup for 3:18 First Pitch

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-ZXINlIcAAiSkO.png:large

Weather Update: Radar still looks like scattered showers/t'storms moving across the river right now. Expect off and on showers through the first half of the game. Winds will slow down a bit as we get this front to go by us. Keep a rain jacket handy, and you'll need it.

[engie]

Lineup 1-7 has looked incredibly consistent thusfar this year...

[BeardoMSU]

Are the games today not on SEC+ or watchespn?

[TheRef]

Are the games today not on SEC+ or watchespn?

Nope....no games on SECN+ today due to the basketball game. We don't have the capability to broadcast more than one event right now. Not enough personnel. Should be solved by next year.

[Smitty]

Good lineup.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Lineup 1-7 has looked incredibly consistent thusfar this year...

But people said all last season that Cohenzz has to meddle!!***

I'm sure the more consistent lineup this year it has nothing to do with us hitting much better and more consistently than last year.**

[Saltydog]

year. Anyone know or have I missed something?

[TheRef]

Not sure...but we're about to get a good bit of rain.

I asked this on the previous game thread was wondering also.

[msstate7]

Score?

[TheRef]

B3 1-0 Marshall

[smootness]

Score?

1-0 Marshall in B3.

We can't seem to get the bats going early, which is kind of weird.

[smootness]

Robson has walked twice.

And was caught stealing to end the 3rd.

1-0 Marshall after 3.

[starkvegasdawg]

If you're at the game get your poncho out. You're about to need it.

[engie]

Tie it on a double with a visibly shaken new picture -- guy coming up with runner on second and no outs who hit a 2B last AB -- f'n early count sac bunt...

[engie]

followed by a K from Spruill...

Need Heck to get this guy in here.

[Saltydog]

nt

[Jacksondevildog]

Probably won't see Gentry this year due to injury.

[engie]

I don't know for sure. Seems like he may be nursing some minor arm difficulties...

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Probably won't see Gentry this year due to injury.
^^^ I've heard this as well

[sandwolf]

Heyyy! Rooker with a 2 run homer!

[engie]

Rooker BOMB on 3-0....

3-1 MSU as the rain delay begins...

[ScottH]

Help me...

Is this a complete game if its washed?

[Saltydog]

relief guy or maybe even a good set up guy..........

[sandwolf]

The game will resume tomorrow, after our game with Alabama A&M.

[smootness]

The game will resume tomorrow, after our game with Alabama A&M.

It looks like we'll actually finish this game first, then play the A&M game.

[smootness]

So it will essentially be the start of B5 with a 3-1 lead. Bases were cleared with 0 outs right before the delay, so we'll basically start that half inning over fresh and have 4.5 to play.

[DudyDawg]

Is the completing of this game the only one we have tomorrow or do we play another full one?

[smootness]

Is the completing of this game the only one we have tomorrow or do we play another full one?

Marshall and A&M play at 11.

We finish this game with Marshall after that game.

Then we play a full game with A&M.

[DudyDawg]

Marshall and A&M play at 11.

We finish this game with Marshall after that game.

Then we play a full game with A&M.

Gotcha. Thanks

[Quaoarsking]

We'd probably be better off not getting our game with Alabama A&M in.

[state66]

Where's that Aaron Dominguez pitcher or whatever his name is been? Didn't he redshirt last year?

[oldwave]

Bump. Playing and hitting, Spruill with RBI, 4-1 Dogs.

[maroonmania]

Diffendurfer, gotta love that name.

[maroonmania]

Houston gone wild. 2 straight walks on 9 pitches after getting the first 2 outs in the 6th.

[maroonmania]

Get Houston out of there. Gives up 2 runs on 3 walks an a single.

[preachermatt83]

man Daniel Brown is Lingo 2.0

[preachermatt83]

hey Engie or Smoot... Post up the third basemen batting stats again now.. Something tells me Spruill is leading the bunch..

[Smitty]

Scary end to the inning.. K but couldn't throw runner out at 1B on a ball that got away from Walker then Hump misplayed his flyball but caught it.. Almost had a tie game there.

[I seen it dawg]

Inning and score? Also I assume the next game will be on Secn+.

[preachermatt83]

Inning and score? Also I assume the next game will be on Secn+.

mid 7.. 5-3 us.... yes on next game sec+

[DudyDawg]

mid 7.. 5-3 us.... yes on next game sec+
Daniel brown pitching?

[smootness]

Daniel brown pitching?

Yes. 3 Ks in 1.1 IP.

And preacher, I believe Spruill has hits in each of the last 3 now, he's picked it up. I have nothing against him, I want somebody to step up at 3rd. I just didn't understand why you were claiming he was hitting well when he had 1 hit earlier.

[maroonmania]

bot 7 and Holland pops out with bases loaded 1 out. Humphries now up with bases loaded 2 out.

[maroonmania]

Humphries Ks. Very disappointing not to score anything in that inning. Could have blown it open.

And to add, I didn't realize it but Jim just said AL A&M beat Marshall in both games they played this weekend.

[I seen it dawg]

Thanks maroon. Would be nice if someone could provide some adequate play by play

[preachermatt83]

Bases juiced and we have a pop up to 2nd and two k's LOOKING!!! That crap drives me nuts! Holland popped up, Spruill and hump K'd.

[maroonmania]

Marshall gets leadoff man on with a single in the 8th but lose him trying to steal.

[maroonmania]

Brown walks the next man. Walks have been a problem for our bullpen today.

[maroonmania]

Next man gets a single to 2nd where the pitcher didn't get over in time to cover 1st base.

[Smitty]

5-4

[maroonmania]

Very poor play on our part. Got the man on 1st in a rundown and he stayed in a rundown long enough that the baserunner from 2nd scored. 5-4 now.

[smootness]

Yeah, this is not a good game from us overall. We just need to get the win and then hammer A&M again.

[Smitty]

Line single into CF. Man on 1st, 2 out. Thats the tying run on 1st.

Fitts in.

[maroonmania]

Brown gives up another single. Hopefully we are bringing in Fitts.

[I seen it dawg]

True closer game. Let's see how Fitts performs

[Smitty]

Infield hit.

1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

[smootness]

Fitts got the out after giving up an infield single. 5-4 headed to B8.

[maroonmania]

Yeah, this is not a good game from us overall. We just need to get the win and then hammer A&M again.

I would take the one run win if we can get it but this one is much tighter than it should be. Marshall with the tying run at 2nd now.

[Smitty]

Flyout to RF

Whew.

Lets get 3-4 here and stop messing with this scrub ass team

[maroonmania]

Thank goodness for the Marshall baserunning blunders to help us in that inning or it likely would be a tie game at least now.

[smootness]

How good is Wright State in baseball?

[preachermatt83]

goin to bottom 8th leading 5-4

[msstate7]

How good is Wright State in baseball?

I'd say equal to OM... Rubber game tied at 2 in 4th

[smootness]

Lineout from Rooker, then single from Robson on a ball that the pitcher tipped that rolled to the 2B.

Yet another example of Robson turning anything other than a routine play into a base hit.

[smootness]

I'd say equal to OM... Rubber game tied at 2 in 4th

Haha touche.

Have they been any good recently? Just wondering what that means for Ole Miss.

[smootness]

Another hit from Gridley. 2 on, 1 out for Cody Brown.

[Saltydog]

nt

[smootness]

Rea pinch hit for Brown and flied out, Robson tagged to move to 3rd. Runners on the corners, 2 outs for Vickerson.

[msstate7]

Haha touche.

Have they been any good recently? Just wondering what that means for Ole Miss.

No idea

[smootness]

Vickerson bunted down the 3rd base line for a hit, Robson scored.

2 on, 2 outs for Britton, who replaced Spruill at 3rd last inning. 6-4 State.

[preachermatt83]

Vickerson has 2 hits today

[preachermatt83]

No idea

they were not any good last yr

[smootness]

Britton with an RBI hit, Gridley scored. Vickerson got in a rundown and was tagged out to end the inning.

Good to see from Britton, bad baserunning from Vickerson.

7-4 State after 8. Fitts still in to close it out.

[Smitty]

Yeah MF Britton singles to left.

Vickerson again doesn't run the bases right and gets out but the run scores.

7-4 going to the 9th.

[preachermatt83]

britton with a rbi hit. Vick thrown out at 3rd. Going to 9th leading 7-4

[smootness]

It looks like Smith is in defensively in RF in place of Rea.

That's great to see. Maybe one or both plays in the next game. Either way, both should be good to go for Arizona.

[oldwave]

Rea and Smith both playing is very good to see.

[preachermatt83]

smith is in RF.

[Noxdog]

they were not any good last yr

They won their regular season conference last year, 25-4.
Lost Horizon Tourney champ game.

[smootness]

1 down in the 9th.

[preachermatt83]

sorry... im behind you guys for some reason

[smootness]

They won their regular season conference last year, 25-4.
Lost Horizon Tourney champ game.

Ok, thanks, this is what I was looking for.

Probably not terrible for Ole Miss, even if they lose the series. Obviously not good, but probably won't hurt their RPI a ton.

[DudyDawg]

Good to have Rea PH. Maybe he will start game 2

[smootness]

2 down now, nobody on.

[preachermatt83]

They won their regular season conference last year, 25-4.
Lost Horizon Tourney champ game.

dang, I must have misheard.. I could have sworn I heard on their broadcast that wright st was like 15-14 last year.. I guess I misheard.. maybe I was thinking about marshall.. my bad.

[smootness]

Good to have Rea PH. Maybe he will start game 2

Yep, and Michael Smith is in RF now.

[DudyDawg]

Yep, and Michael Smith is in RF now.

Awesome. Getting them back is going to be good.


How's fitts look? Throwing good pitches? Command good?

[smootness]

Grounder to 2nd to end it. State wins 7-4.

[Noxdog]

dang, I must have misheard.. I could have sworn I heard on their broadcast that wright st was like 15-14 last year.. I guess I misheard.. maybe I was thinking about marshall.. my bad.

I prob would not have if I was'nt at home with the flu this past week and watched some of their game before ours on FRiday.

[smootness]

Awesome. Getting them back is going to be good.


How's fitts look? Throwing good pitches?

I'm not sure, just listening. He pitched 1.1 IP, gave up one hit and I believe all 4 outs were ground ball outs.

I think he'll be pretty good in that role. Won't come in and shut people down but will get a lot of ground balls and will probably be effective.

[smootness]

It looks like Wright State did go 25-4 in conference but were 35-22 overall. Is the Horizon League really bad?

[I seen it dawg]

Wright has a couple of,guys that can swing the bat a a good looking closer for what that league is.
