SBW vs Florida Friday game thread

[msstate7]

What's weather looking like?

[mstatefan91]

No rain now. Radar doesn't show much. Maybe a shower or two during the game. Idk past that.

[cbrunt29]

Good to see Vick back

[War Machine Dawg]

The Meddler just can't help himself. Back to the lineup with a midget ass slap hitter in the 4 hole. I'd say unbelievable, except it's entirely believable and predictable.

[blacklistedbully]

We should bunt!

[msstate7]

Welp, on to the Braves' game

[War Machine Dawg]

Only 1 out in the 1st and Laster has already allowed 3 runs. Single, double, walk, bases clearing triple. They're ripping him. Anyone still want to stick with their feeling we'll take 2/3 this weekend?

[War Machine Dawg]

Welp, on to the Braves' game

They're sucking too. Going to be a long, boring ass summer waiting on football. Guess I'll have to find a MLS team to follow. Kinda thinking the Sounders.

[mstatefan91]

Umps are awful. Pitching looks worse

[Drugdog]

Anybody want to bet if we get a runner on in the first that we bunt.

[msstate7]

Only 1 out in the 1st and Laster has already allowed 3 runs. Single, double, walk, bases clearing triple. They're ripping him. Anyone still want to stick with their feeling we'll take 2/3 this weekend?

This could end up being a good game to get Paul young some work. We done tonight.

And yeah, I think I change my prediction

[BulldogBear]

Only 1 out in the 1st and Laster has already allowed 3 runs. Single, double, walk, bases clearing triple. They're ripping him. Anyone still want to stick with their feeling we'll take 2/3 this weekend?

Sigh. Whimper. Business as usual I see.

[Bothrops]

We won't win a single game unless we can get some balls out of the yard this weekend.

[Drugdog]

Show some damn pride guys.

[Homedawg]

Wind blowing straight in. Won't be any by us

[Drugdog]

We won't win a single game unless we can get some balls out of the yard this weekend.

Yard or infield?

[War Machine Dawg]

4-0 Gators headed bottom 1. Time to play for 1.

[msstate7]

They're sucking too. Going to be a long, boring ass summer waiting on football. Guess I'll have to find a MLS team to follow. Kinda thinking the Sounders.

Yeah we'll probably suck eventually, but it's 2-2 in 3rd and we're 6-3 overall. I'll watch this tonight

[War Machine Dawg]

Brown IF single to start, Vick lines into a 4-3 DP.

[Bothrops]

Yard or infield?

Yard. Over the wall.

[starkvegasdawg]

Brown IF single to start, Vick lines into a 4-3 DP.

Shoulda bunted.***

[War Machine Dawg]

Yeah we'll probably suck eventually, but it's 2-2 in 3rd and we're 6-3 overall. I'll watch this tonight

Won't lie, I have it on. We're about to blow a golden opportunity to take a lead after having 2nd & 3rd, 1 out. Simba may be all-world with his glove, but he sucks with a bat.

[msstate7]

Yard. Over the wall.

Then we fricked

[War Machine Dawg]

Shoulda bunted.***

Sadly, you know Cohen is probably thinking that. "Woulda only been one out instead of two."

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins singles, but Robson can't do anything. To the 2nd, 4-0 Gators. I must be a masochist for continuing to watch this team.

[msstate7]

Florida 4 hits = 4 runs
Us 2 hits = 0 runs

Please recruit some more singles hitters, cohen

[War Machine Dawg]

Nice running over-the-shoulder, basket catch by Rea on a popup in foul territory. 1 out.

[JohnnyQuid]

At least all hope is out the way early tonight. Don't buy much into matchups but think they have a solid RH lineup vs laster tonight.

[JohnnyQuid]

Laster doesn't look sharp at all. Falling behind alot

[msstate7]

It's 4-0. Why are we using one of our best relievers? We aren't scoring 4 tonight

[JohnnyQuid]

And as I said that he's done for the day
Mintz in

[JohnnyQuid]

It's 4-0. Why are we using one of our best relievers? We aren't scoring 4 tonight

Hope springs eternal

[War Machine Dawg]

Pitching change. Laster out, Mintz in. Laster only makes it 1.1. Mintz inherits a 2-0 count. **** this mid-count change bullshit.

[JohnnyQuid]

**** this mid-count change bullshit.

I hate it.

[msstate7]

Hope springs eternal

Yeah, I suppose. Hoping for tonight could cost us another loss tomorrow or Sunday though

[JohnnyQuid]

Mintz get out of it with 4-6-3. Still 4-0 bottom 2nd

[War Machine Dawg]

Mint gets out of the jam. 4-0 Gators after 1.5.

[RossDawg82]

I think I would enjoy pitching against this team. Nothing intimidating at all

[JohnnyQuid]

That was quick.

[Drugdog]

We can't hit the ball out of the infield.

[msstate7]

Cohen has gone from playing to a natty to complete garbage in 2 years

[msstate7]

Please pull mintz so we can use him in a competitive game

[JohnnyQuid]

Please pull mintz so we can use him in a competitive game

Yea we should. I'm still pissed it took 2/3 of the year to use him properly - something wrong with our evaluation there.

[msstate7]

Yea we should. I'm still pissed it took 2/3 of the year to use him properly - something wrong with our evaluation there.

We won't though. We'll use mintz in a game we have no chance and then use Ross in a 1-run lead tomorrow in the 7th. Lose both games bc of stupid pen management

[War Machine Dawg]

I think I would enjoy pitching against this team. Nothing intimidating at all

Not with the way the lineup is constructed tonight. It would suck if we bunched Collins, Hump, and Rea in the middle of the order. But The Meddler say "matchups, mane."

[War Machine Dawg]

We won't though. We'll use mintz in a game we have no chance and then use Ross in a 1-run lead tomorrow in the 7th. Lose both games bc of stupid pen management

You mean Sunday. Believe they've already postponed tomorrow's game and announced a DH for Sunday.

[msstate7]

You mean Sunday. Believe they've already postponed tomorrow's game and announced a DH for Sunday.

Either way. You know what I mean though.

[JohnnyQuid]

Popup k groundout. weak

[BulldogBear]

#matchups

...this is the part of the game where managers/coaches are caught overthinking more than any other aspect IMO

[JohnnyQuid]

Mintz is dealing

[War Machine Dawg]

Mintz cruising now, but still down 4-0.

[JohnnyQuid]

Leadoff single for vickerson. Let's get back in this mother****er damn

[msstate7]

Hey war... Simmons made up for it there

[JohnnyQuid]

Collins k. Meh

[msstate7]

Leadoff single for vickerson. Let's get back in this mother****er damn

I like your enthusiasm, but we'll be lucky to get 1, much less 4

[JohnnyQuid]

That was a horrible call strike 3 on reid. This ump is shit

[JohnnyQuid]

2 out single for wes. 4-1

[msstate7]

2 out single for wes. 4-1

Need holland here

[JohnnyQuid]

Passed ball 2nd and 3rd 2 down for holland , 2-2 count

[JohnnyQuid]

Double to the gap 4-3. Holland thrown out at 3rd. We'll take it!

[War Machine Dawg]

Dawgs cut the lead in half. 4-2 bad guys after 5.

[msstate7]

Passed ball 2nd and 3rd 2 down for holland , 2-2 count

Atta boy holland. Come on gridley

[War Machine Dawg]

Hey war... Simmons made up for it there

No doubt. That was a laser. If he could be just a little more consistent at the plate.....

[RossDawg82]

I like your enthusiasm, but we'll be lucky to get 1, much less 4

😆

[smootness]

I'm confused.

[msstate7]

Atta boy holland. Come on gridley

Watching live stats haha didn't know holland got thrown at 3rd. Why though holland?

[Quaoarsking]

What was the Cohen argument about? The Florida 3B tagging in the face?

[maroonmania]

Good inning for us though I do hate making the 3rd out at 3rd base. Not smart.

[msstate7]

😆

Love to be wrong

[RossDawg82]

What was the Cohen argument about? The Florida 3B tagging in the face?

Telling the ump to stop talking to his player

[mstatefan91]

These umps are absolutely horrible

[JohnnyQuid]

These umps are absolutely horrible

terrible. they just missed another call. jesus

[msstate7]

Oh well we're gonna give it right back

[Quaoarsking]

Ball hit the bat, but umpires say it hit the batter's hand...

[mstatefan91]

Absolutely horrible

[smootness]

Simmons is now hitting .278 with an OPS well over .700. He's hit well this year, shortened his swing and going to the opposite field.

[JohnnyQuid]

1st and 3rd 1 out for FL

[msstate7]

1st and 3rd 1 out for FL

Can't give up more than 1

[JohnnyQuid]

nice play by gridley in the hole but run scores. 5-3 , man at 2nd 2 down

[War Machine Dawg]

High chopper to Gridley. Makes the throw on a close play at 1B. Run scores. 5-3 Gators, 2 out.

[JohnnyQuid]

another double for florida, 6-3

[War Machine Dawg]

Double off Mintz, 6-3 Gators. They're starting to work Mintz a little now.

[JohnnyQuid]

fitts in. guess we can pitch whoever since we have tomorrow off

[War Machine Dawg]

Butch to the hill. Mintz is done.

[War Machine Dawg]

Fitts in, runner at 2B is Mintz's responsibility.

[msstate7]

fitts in. guess we can pitch whoever since we have tomorrow off

So the lead reaches 3 again and we're burning our best reliever. Hello sweep

[msstate7]

fitts in. guess we can pitch whoever since we have tomorrow off

Florida is great hitting team. I didn't want them to see fitts unless we had a lead. If we pitch him again Sunday, they'll have seen him and know what to expect

[War Machine Dawg]

F8 to Robson ends it, but FL gets 2 back. 6-3 after T6.

[JohnnyQuid]

Florida is great hitting team. I didn't want them to see fitts unless we had a lead. If we pitch him again Sunday, they'll have seen him and know what to expect

i see where you're coming from but down 3 in the 5th and throwing in the towel would be kinda pussified. with the day off tomorrow might as well do what you can until we're just totally out of it imo.

[msstate7]

i see where you're coming from but down 3 in the 5th and throwing in the towel would be kinda pussified. with the day off tomorrow might as well do what you can until we're just totally out of it imo.

I think you have to try someone else and hope we can get back tied or ahead then use fitts. Using your closer down 3 in the 5th is freaking nuts to me

[JohnnyQuid]

I think you have to try someone else and hope we can get back tied or ahead then use fitts. Using your closer down 3 in the 5th is freaking nuts to me

I just see fitts as another reliever honestly. He's prolly the best guy we have to come in and close down games, but if we save him just for that he's not gonna pitch very much.

[War Machine Dawg]

I think you have to try someone else and hope we can get back tied or ahead then use fitts. Using your closer down 3 in the 5th is freaking nuts to me

Especially considering that *if* it works and by some miracle we come back to win, he's burned for the weekend after throwing 4 1/3 innings tonight.

[JohnnyQuid]

quick inning for us... meh

[msstate7]

I just see fitts as another reliever honestly. He's prolly the best guy we have to come in and close down games, but if we save him just for that he's not gonna pitch very much.

Save him for lead or tie

[War Machine Dawg]

Quick inning for FL. Logan gets 3 groundouts. To the 7th.

[msstate7]

Good decision to pull fitts

[JohnnyQuid]

Especially considering that *if* it works and by some miracle we come back to win, he's burned for the weekend after throwing 4 1/3 innings tonight.

if we get a win outta his 4 1/3 i highly doubt anyone would bitch. and if we're out of the game im sure he won't throw 4 1/3 and will be available sunday. simple

[JohnnyQuid]

Good decision to pull fitts

dont mind elliot getting some innings at all. just dont leave him in 4 batters too long agian

[War Machine Dawg]

Elliot? Who the hell is he? And where the hell is Paul Young?

[JohnnyQuid]

Elliot? Who the hell is he? And where the hell is Paul Young?

he pitched against a&m sunday. he did a decent job for a couple innings then we left him out there to give up a granny after he started getting in trouble.

[JohnnyQuid]

and elliot looks pretty decent again. another guy who didnt pitch till seasons over halfway over.

[msstate7]

and elliot looks pretty decent again. another guy who didnt pitch till seasons over halfway over.

We might have some decent pen guys if our starters go deeper. Guys like mintz, Elliot, and fitts don't need to go multiple innings

[War Machine Dawg]

Another quick inning in the 6th. To the 7th, still 6-3.

[JohnnyQuid]

We might have some decent pen guys if our starters go deeper. Guys like mintz, Elliot, and fitts don't need to go multiple innings

idk im good with mintz for 2-3. dont know enough about elliot. just depends on fitts

[I seen it dawg]

Cohen and Butch fn suck.

[msstate7]

Another quick inning in the 6th. To the 7th, still 6-3.

Scoring 3 in the 4th and giving 2 of them back in the 5th was the deathblow. Situational hitting, power hitting, no pen depth, lack of power arms, and not being able to get shut down innings are some of our weaknesses... In other words, we're not good. I'm finally accepting it

[JohnnyQuid]

rea just chased a speedster down at 2nd from 1st on a pickoff. ha!

[War Machine Dawg]

Nice pickoff by Elliot. Rea with a diving tag. 2 away.

[War Machine Dawg]

The thing is, you can tell it isn't physical talent. Our guys are capable of competing. It's mental combined with shitty coaching.

[War Machine Dawg]

Elliot with a quick T7, including 2 Ks. Stretch!

[JohnnyQuid]

elliot pitching well. glad we decided to start pitching him halfway thru the SEC season.

[War Machine Dawg]

elliot pitching well. glad we decided to start pitching him halfway thru the SEC season.

I really wonder what the **** we do during fall ball and winter practices.

[JohnnyQuid]

I really wonder what the **** we do during fall ball and winter practices.

ross throws BP**

couldnt resist. but seriously, idk it sure is frustrating tho. we might have bullpen roles figured out by the time SEC tourny gets here.

[JohnnyQuid]

2 out inf single for holland

[War Machine Dawg]

Hey 7, Gomes goes yard T8. 6-5 Braves.

[JohnnyQuid]

i really dunno how gridley is hitting 270, seems like he hasnt had a hit in forever (i know he has just.. idk). anyway, going to the 8th

[War Machine Dawg]

Gridley pops out. Shore still in control after 7. Only guy who can hit him right now is Holland.

[msstate7]

Hey 7, Gomes goes yard T8. 6-5 Braves.

Then FF crushes one. Markakis what 4-4 tonight?

[War Machine Dawg]

Elliot done. Hudson out to the hill for the 8th. I like this.

[War Machine Dawg]

Then FF crushes one. Markakis what 4-4 tonight?

Don't know, but that's looking like money well spent through 2 weeks. He's done nothing but hit so far.

[JohnnyQuid]

Hudson in. At least we're getting these guys some inning where it matters, i can buy into that.

[msstate7]

i really dunno how gridley is hitting 270, seems like he hasnt had a hit in forever (i know he has just.. idk). anyway, going to the 8th

Probably does his best hitting when games are out of control

[JohnnyQuid]

Probably does his best hitting when games are out of control

2 out singles with nobody on base.

[JohnnyQuid]

and hudson witha quick inning. young guys stepping up

[War Machine Dawg]

Hudson sails through T8. Still down 6-3.

[msstate7]

and hudson witha quick inning. young guys stepping up

Id get him out of there. Let him end tonight with some confidence

[JohnnyQuid]

these popups make my eyes bleed

[JohnnyQuid]

Id get him out of there. Let him end tonight with some confidence

prolly not a bad idea, thinking who else we even have to throw. myles gentry maybe or houston

[War Machine Dawg]

Shore may go the distance and not throw 100 pitches, despite giving up 3 runs. We suck.

[JohnnyQuid]

6 pitch inning. UF guy gonna go the distance. going top 9th

[War Machine Dawg]

prolly not a bad idea, thinking who else we even have to throw. myles gentry maybe or houston

Paul. Young.

[JohnnyQuid]

Shore may go the distance and not throw 100 pitches, despite giving up 3 runs. We suck.

damn near clean innings except the 1. and no walks.. that helps ur pitch count

[War Machine Dawg]

7, don't look now, but Johnson on the verge of letting the Jays tie it right back up.

[JohnnyQuid]

d brown. damn id almost forgotten about him.. jeez

[msstate7]

We suck.

Yep

[War Machine Dawg]

Hudson done. Daniel Brown in. Yay.

[msstate7]

7, don't look now, but Johnson on the verge of letting the Jays tie it right back up.

These dang al teams can hit

[War Machine Dawg]

Hell of a play by Gridley to get the 3rd out. Quick T9 for Brown.

[JohnnyQuid]

gridley with another good play at short. i can see why cohen wanted him there, he's much much better than heck at the position.

[msstate7]

gridley with another good play at short. i can see why cohen wanted him there, he's much much better than heck at the position.

If gridley was at SS for bama series, we probably win that series. I still can't believe heck didn't have enough range to catch that pop up to short left center

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins pops out. 2 outs left. 92 pitches for Shore.

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson grounds out. 96 pitches for Shore.

[JohnnyQuid]

complete game with no walks, recipe for winning.

[msstate7]

Gotta feeling o'sullivan gonna break it off in Cohen this weekend. We've used our best 2 relievers (fitts only 1 out, but seen). Florida hasn't used their pen at all and only have to worry about 14 innings Sunday.

[cbrunt29]

I'll be at the spring game tomorrow, but there's no way in hell I'm paying to watch this shit show of a baseball team.

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump backwards K to end it. Just 103 pitches for Shore. We're so terrible.

[Homedawg]

Somebody tell hump that the odds of hitting it goes up by a factor of at least 10 if you swing.

[JohnnyQuid]

Gotta feeling o'sullivan gonna break it off in Cohen this weekend. We've used our best 2 relievers (fitts only 1 out, but seen). Florida hasn't used their pen at all and only have to worry about 14 innings Sunday.

hope we steal 1

[War Machine Dawg]

I'll be at the spring game tomorrow, but there's no way in hell I'm paying to watch this shit show of a baseball team.

Considering we're playing 2 on Sunday, you're off the hook. And I'd be surprised if we have the M&W Game tomorrow, too.

[JohnnyQuid]

Somebody tell hump that the odds of hitting it goes up by a factor of at least 10 if you swing.

and it was a fastball.

need to be 2 feet out in the dirt to induce his swing**

[cbrunt29]

Good outing by our bullpen. It's not their fault our hitters have no nuts

[msstate7]

Any news on kasongo? We're a basketball school now

[JohnnyQuid]

in all seriousness, really impressed by our pen. this was a game in doubt and we put multiple guys all there and they all produced. if there was ever a silver lining this is one. hope it continues

[maroonmania]

Good outing by our bullpen. It's not their fault our hitters have no nuts

Yep, only scored 3 so essentially this one was over after FL put up the 4 spot in the 1st.

[War Machine Dawg]

7, Grilli gets his 5th save. Braves win!

[War Machine Dawg]

in all seriousness, really impressed by our pen. this was a game in doubt and we put multiple guys all there and they all produced. if there was ever a silver lining this is one. hope it continues

Gotta agree. Nice to see some young arms come in and get the job done for a change. Now if we could just hit.

[cbrunt29]

7, Grilli gets his 5th save. Braves win!
Hail Braves

[msstate7]

7, Grilli gets his 5th save. Braves win!

Me like
