TRYING TO AVOID SWEEP - game 3 @ Arkansas thread

[BulldogBear]

With an hour gone and no game thread I figured it was business as usual but lo and behold.... we are ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth. Dare we hope?

[msstate7]

Reynolds 2-2 with rbi
Shut out going thru 4 on Sunday
We're winning 1-0

Twilight zone****

[sandwolf]

Wow, nice catch by Hump....I thought that was gone.

[Percho]

great catch

[Percho]

then stupid baseball

[msstate7]

Reynolds 3-3

[sandwolf]

Damn Heck is awful with runners in scoring position.

[msstate7]

Damn Heck is awful with runners in scoring position.

I thought he was pretty much awful all the time

[msstate7]

And here comes trouble

[sandwolf]

I thought he was pretty much awful all the time

I thought that too, but I went back and looked at his numbers since the beginning of April and prior to this series he was like 8 for 26 (.308) or something like that......but he only had 1 rbi. So I think the reason it feels like he has been so horrible lately is because he seems to only get hits when it doesn't really matter.

[sandwolf]

Wow, Cody Brown......just wow. What a great play.

[BulldogBear]

Vick with a strange hit. Better them than us!

[BulldogBear]

1-1 game in the late innings. Cohen must be licking his chops.

#buntcity

[BulldogBear]

Good decision to go home. Vickerson scores to make it 2-1 MSU!

[sandwolf]

Stupid ****ing base running.

[BulldogBear]

Well, Collins follows that TOOBLAN style. Inning over. No big inning but Dawgs lead 2-1 at the stretch.

[dawgoneyall]

More over coaching with the shift.

[RossDawg82]

Rbi double here we come

[msstate7]

Rbi double here we come

Won't need a double now. Will fitts blow this game too?

[maroonmania]

Fitts' wildness just makes him a poor choice as a closer. 3 breaking balls in the dirt not even close then walks him with a high one. 2 on with one out now.

[RossDawg82]

Won't need a double now. Will fitts blow this game too?

10:1 odds in yes

[BulldogBear]

Can we please avoid the eighth inning disaster????

[JohnnyQuid]

Daniel brown in this spot scares me

[msstate7]

Why am I even listening to this crap?

[maroonmania]

This is so laughable. Brown wild pitches runners to 2nd and 3rd.

[RossDawg82]

This is gonna get bad

[RossDawg82]

If we lose I would cancel the stadium expansion

[msstate7]

Bases loaded. Cohen should be fired simply for fielding this pathetic team

[maroonmania]

Bases loaded. Cohen should be fired simply for fielding this pathetic team

And we don't even make people earn hit. Our pitchers can't throw strikes.

[msstate7]

If we lose I would cancel the stadium expansion

Raising money will be like pulling teeth soon

[maroonmania]

Zac Houston in, game over.

[JohnnyQuid]

Out pens inability to just come in and throw strikes with a lead is beyond frustrating

[RossDawg82]

2nd sweep in a row, most likely will have at least 2 more the next couple weeks. It's hard to imagine serious changes not happening on this baseball staff. This is worse than basketball IMO. At least some guys on basketball at least tried. This is horseshit

[msstate7]

Houston! Atta boy

[sandwolf]

Yep, that was a big time strike out for Houston.

[confucius say]

Great job! Some of you need to step back from the freaking ledge. No, we are not going to regionals and we are not good. But some of y'all need to tap the brakes.

[msstate7]

Hopefully houston's nutts just dropped. Great job kid

[sandwolf]

There we go Houston! Showed some balls and got us out of it.

[maroonmania]

Houston got us out of it! He was about a millimeter from walking in the tying run on the 3-2 pitch with one out but luckily got the call on the low outside corner.

[BulldogBear]

Great job Houston! Can we get some 9th inning 'shonce!?

[DistrictDawg92]

score?

[sandwolf]

2-1 State

[RossDawg82]

2-1 dogs. Robison on 2nd with 1 down

[maroonmania]

See this is the kind of game that I would totally disagree with Todd on. We shouldn't have to hold a team to ONE run on Sunday to get a win. This team shouldn't be on our bullpen but it is. This game should already be pretty much put away.

[Percho]

deserve to lose after a bonehead play like that

[sandwolf]

Why do we steal Robson there?

[DistrictDawg92]

why steal robson there with rea at bat? a hit scores robson no matter where it is.

[maroonmania]

We are freakin' idiots, its a wonder we've ever won a game. Robson thrown out trying to steal 3rd with 2 outs when we've got our hottest hitter at the plate in Rea.

[State82]

That was just incredibly stupid

[RossDawg82]

Horrible coaching. Just horrible and if I'm Rea I'm letting Cohen know that

[msstate7]

Zac!

[maroonmania]

Why do we steal Robson there?

Apparently we are morons.

[msstate7]

Zac Houston, where have you been lately?

[maroonmania]

Zac K's the first 2 in the ninth. Where has this been all year?

[sandjunky]

He cut his mullet

[maroonmania]

Oh well, we have to give the free pass. Winning run to the plate.

[JohnnyQuid]

These announcers just said John cohen would make a great little league coach. I laughed, was in the context of him going out to teach during innings but still

[msstate7]

I'll take it. If fitts showed up, we'd have taken the series

[maroonmania]

And for the record, that is our 7th win this year where we have scored 4 runs or less.

[BulldogBear]

See this is the kind of game that I would totally disagree with Todd on. We shouldn't have to hold a team to ONE run on Sunday to get a win. This team shouldn't be on our bullpen but it is. This game should already be pretty much put away.
Yep, got this one done Cohen style but that says more about Arkansas than us.

[DawgFromOxford]

Hard for me to get excited about baseball anymore but glad to see our guys win one. Still some fight in there somewhere.

[Maroonthirteen]

EUREKA! I'm just glad we avoided the sweep.

Info graphics says their pitcher is 4-1. I assume that includes today? Wow, his first loss.

[Smitty]

Info graphics says their pitcher is 4-1. I assume that includes today? Wow, his first loss.

1. W-L is meaningless
2. W-L is even more meaningless for a relief pitcher.
