State vs Fla- Rubber Game

[Coach34]

Cmon Houston- shit

[preachermatt83]

Way to battle Houston.

[RocketDawg]

Got out of another close call inning.

[Tbonewannabe]

Not really. That's the smart play to go on contact to keep the DP from happening. Usually though he should have tried to get in rundown to get runners to second and third.

In his defense, the catcher didn't actually tag him out.

[Coach34]

there we go....get it in the zone and let the D work. 2 good innings out of Houston today. Good job

[Westdawg]

Score???

[preachermatt83]

Rooker needs to go yard here.

[preachermatt83]

Score???

1-0 dawgs. Top 7

[MarketingBully]

In his defense, the catcher didn't actually tag him out.

But he never touched home plate to give himself an argument.

[Ralph]

Score???

1-0 good guys T7

[cbrunt29]

Score???
1-0 dawgs top of the 7th

[Ralph]

Rook

[preachermatt83]

I would never throw Rooker anything but breaking balls if I were pitching to him.

[Percho]

I would not bunt here.

[shoeless joe]

Jobu got the fastball called... Appreciate that

[Tbonewannabe]

But he never touched home plate to give himself an argument.

True. I don't think he actually realized it or he would have touched the plate and made his case to the ump.

[preachermatt83]

We have to score rook here. And I wouldn't fuss about a bunt here.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, rooker... At least hit ball on right side, holland

[JohnnyQuid]

big double by rooker. time to make something happen

[Coach34]

Now? I'm ok if we bunt. It's the 7th and 1-0 game

[Political Hack]

That's a BS called strike 2.

[preachermatt83]

Holland is so pitiful.

[Bucky Dog]

Do NOT bunt him!!!!!

[cbrunt29]

And we can't get it down

[msstate7]

If holland doesn't advance the runner, sit him a long time. I don't like the bunt call, but it's the call... Get it done

[Bucky Dog]

Now? I'm ok if we bunt. It's the 7th and 1-0 game

But he's already in scoring position. Swing the bat is my philosophy.

[War Machine Dawg]

Holland is so pitiful.

I keep wondering why Stovall doesn't get a chance at 2B or 3B. The kid looked damn good early.

[Ralph]

That wasn't a bomb????

[JohnnyQuid]

Holland is so pitiful.

you were saying?

[cbrunt29]

HOLLAND

[preachermatt83]

thats a dinger.

[CadaverDawg]

That's a Homerun!!!

[msstate7]

Atta boy, holland... Way to avenge yourself

[Ralph]

Top of wall. Wow. Never seen holland stroke one like that

[cbrunt29]

Game of inches...

[Political Hack]

3-0. Woo hoo!!! That left the yard folks.

[msstate7]

Just run, holland... Let the umps call it

[War Machine Dawg]

WTF???? How was that not out?!

[Bucky Dog]

That's a ****ing HR!!!

[JohnnyQuid]

I keep wondering why Stovall doesn't get a chance at 2B or 3B. The kid looked damn good early.

He's played 2nd the past 2 games I believe

[Coach34]

and we dont bunt- and hit a double. Thank you Holland

[preachermatt83]

you were saying?

He was asked to lay down a bunt and twice he pulled back on strikes does not change Bc he gets a hit. I'm glad though that he didn't lay down the bunt. Lol.

[CadaverDawg]

Did Rooker not score??? What was he doing??

[shoeless joe]

Metals bent

[War Machine Dawg]

That's a damn homer. **** this shit. We're getting prison raped by the umps.

[CadaverDawg]

Please tell me Rooker scored

[Ralph]

Did Rooker not score??? What was he doing??

Guess he was waiting to see if a tag was needed then they called it dead?

[Coach34]

Did Rooker not score??? What was he doing??

Rooker was tagging

[JohnnyQuid]

He was asked to lay down a bunt and twice he pulled back on strikes does not change Bc he gets a hit. I'm glad though that he didn't lay down the bunt. Lol.

if you say so

[preachermatt83]

My question is why did the runner on 2nd not score??

[bulldogcountry1]

Top of the wall and off that metal cover beyond the wall

[shoeless joe]

Metal whatever it is is dented

[CadaverDawg]

Mingione should be fired if Rooker didn't score on that

[Political Hack]

Complete horse shit. No way. It hit the metal bar behind the wall.

[preachermatt83]

If we don't score two runs this inning we deserve to lose.

[CadaverDawg]

Rooker was tagging

The guy turned his back! Learn to run the bases. Jesus H.

[msstate7]

Mingione should be fired if Rooker didn't score on that

He should be fired any way

[Percho]

How in the does rooker not score?

[maroonmania]

Did Rooker not score??? What was he doing??

Exactly, I can't believe Rooker moved one freakin' base on that.

[preachermatt83]

Mingione should be fired if Rooker didn't score on that

Yup.

[Bdawg]

How does that hit the top of the wall and bounce up and back in. Just saw that pole on the fence. Guess it could have hit that.

[IMissJack]

Looked gone to me.

[bulldogcountry1]

Top of wall. Wow. Never seen holland stroke one like that

He got robbed at home a couple weeks ago.

[msstate7]

The guy turned his back! Learn to run the bases. Jesus H.

Both runners... Their job is to run full speed. It's the umps job to call a homerun

[shoeless joe]

Mingione should be fired if Rooker didn't score on that

He was tagging...there's no outs. Don't take chances there

[CadaverDawg]

I am dumbfounded that Rooker didn't score. Holy shit that is a massive **** up. If we don't score this inning I'm going to be beyond pissed. Get your head out of your ass, Mingione. You ****ing clown

[maroonmania]

It would be so MState now if we somehow don't even score.

[Tbonewannabe]

How does that hit the top of the wall and bounce up and back in. Just saw that pole on the fence. Guess it could have hit that.

Apparently physics doesn't apply at UF's field.

[99jc]

Complete horse shit. No way. It hit the metal bar behind the wall.

If we lose it will be on the players

[Coach34]

Mingione should be fired if Rooker didn't score on that

Rooker was tagging and the ball bounced right back to the OF'er- not much you can do there

[Political Hack]

This is the most M-State thing ever.

[CadaverDawg]

He was tagging...there's no outs. Don't take chances there

What?? Are you kidding? Even if tagging he should run when the guy gives up on it. Holy shit

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Jake

[99jc]

Absolutely

[CadaverDawg]

We get it guy, you want an "RS" stat. STFU

[War Machine Dawg]

Text from my buddy: "These guys are trying their damnedest to convince themselves the umps got it right." So true. They're making my ears ****ing bleed.

[99jc]

We should be up 3-0

[CadaverDawg]

Put it in play, Jake.

[CadaverDawg]

I am furious

[99jc]

Take a drink

[War Machine Dawg]

Bases juiced. Good AB from Mangum.

[Ralph]

Bases juiced for Marrero

[msstate7]

Mangum gives a tough ab every time. I love this kid

[CadaverDawg]

Take a drink

Ha, this is just such a big potential win. We can't waste opportunities like that. Rooker has got to score there. No excuse

[Bucky Dog]

Simmer down CD. We need to hit thes douche bag announcers up on Twitter!!

[preachermatt83]

Bases juiced no outs. We better leave this inning up no less than 3-0

[Ralph]

Elih!

[CadaverDawg]

ELIH!!!!

[Coach34]

great job of battling by Mangum

[CadaverDawg]

Simmer down CD. We need to hit thes douche bag announcers up on Twitter!!

I'm in! Haha

[Political Hack]

Man I wanted 2 there but 1 and no outs is fine.

[maroonmania]

Well hard to blame the umps on that. There really was no hard evidence that it hit anything but the top of the fence. I just can't believe it bounce on out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Marrero couldn't have thrown it out there any better.

[Bucky Dog]

Eat a dick Florida and announcers!!

[Ralph]

2-0 dawgs no outs bases still juiced for Lowe

[msstate7]

Come on lowe

[Coach34]

seeing eye bloop- attaboy

[CadaverDawg]

Bust it open, Nate! Come on!

[CadaverDawg]

Anything but a K here, Lowe.

[War Machine Dawg]

Nate needs to stop trying to hit it out. That "proposal" swing won't do shit.

[Ralph]

seeing eye bloop- attaboy

Coach if you're in front of tv it's on SECN. Looks like you may be on delay from watchespn

[CadaverDawg]

SHIT

[IMissJack]

Can't take that Lowe

[Ralph]

Let's go Reid

[Bdawg]

Has that ump called that shit all day?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[msstate7]

Nate needs to stop trying to hit it out. That "proposal" swing won't do shit.

Been watching andrelton Simmons it looks like

[maroonmania]

Man, too close to take. Now a DP gets them out of this mess. Got to have more runs!

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, Hump

[CadaverDawg]

Our base running sucks ass. The fact that we have only scored 1 this inning should get Mingione removed from 3rd base coach. Garbage

[War Machine Dawg]

Been watching andrelton Simmons it looks like

Or old Andruw Jones footage.

[Political Hack]

Hump can't catch up with anything today. Looks a little uncomfortable. Hopefully he can shake it here.

[Bucky Dog]

That ball was outside though. Reid!!

[Political Hack]

Sit him.

[Ralph]

If we only get 1 run out of this holy shit

[War Machine Dawg]

****ing garbage

[99jc]

Damn these 17ers just make contact

[msstate7]

Hump is f'n killing us today

[IMissJack]

This guy has a great slider and curve.

[CadaverDawg]

Unreal. What a poor job by Lowe and Hump

[JohnnyQuid]

speaking of pitiful , hump looked bad

[CadaverDawg]

Come on Gavin, save us dammit. Shit

[GreenheadDawg]

Our 3 and 4 hitters strike out with the bases juiced. That's sad

[msstate7]

So, pop up to cf, middle infield, or LF? Gavin is straight trying to kill it

[CadaverDawg]

No way Gavin gets a hit here

[GreenheadDawg]

These announcers love them some UF. They are slobbing all over their knob

[Bucky Dog]

Chill guys! We got this. The announcers are worse than worse and their fans and players are rednecks. We deserve this win. We have outplayed them.

[99jc]

17 it going to cut grass now

[Ralph]

Way to go, MEAT OF THE ORDER

[Coach34]

Hump cant hit a good RHP. He is 2-11 vs RHP's this weekend. If we gonna play him- got to slide him down

[IMissJack]

ouch

[CadaverDawg]

Damn damn damn damn damn

[msstate7]

Gavin is not a good hitter

[Political Hack]

Screw the blue. Cost us a run.

Hump needs to come out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins needs his ass planted on the pine for a few games. **** he's worthless right now. He makes up for not hitting with shitty D.

[CadaverDawg]

**** these umps, **** Mingione

[cbrunt29]

Pitiful.

[Coach34]

Lowe cant K there either- terrible job when we had a chance to put them game away

[Tbonewannabe]

Gavin just looks like garbage swinging the bat. He looks like he is in a HR hitting contest.

[Bdawg]

Son of a.......

[IMissJack]

Are the announcers UF's version of Bart and Matt?

[mparkerfd20]

I'm madder than hell

[msstate7]

So, pop up to cf, middle infield, or LF? Gavin is straight trying to kill it

Middle infield it is... Gavin is so predictable with his bad swings

[CadaverDawg]

Collins needs his ass planted on the pine for a few games. **** he's worthless right now. He makes up for not hitting with shitty D.

This^

Anybody that calls Hump out but doesn't say shit about Collins, should shhh

[msstate7]

**** these umps, **** Mingione

Rooker should've scored and holland should've been on 3rd... That's 1 more run. Hope it doesn't bite us

[War Machine Dawg]

Are the announcers UF's version of Bart and Matt?

They have to be. Except Bart and Matt actually pretend to be objective.

[Bucky Dog]

Yeah Lowe was over swinging instead of just grooving a fly ball to the outfield.

[CadaverDawg]

We'll lose now. No doubt

Can't blow opportunity after opportunity on the road against #1 and win. I'm madder than hell

[Percho]

How many have we left on base?

[Ralph]

Rooker should've scored and holland should've been on 3rd... That's 1 more run. Hope it doesn't bite us

Got a bad feelin. Hopefully just gas.

[CadaverDawg]

Yeah Lowe was over swinging instead of just grooving a fly ball to the outfield.

We've been stroking it oppo, so why do we keep trying to pull everything?

[msstate7]

We'll lose now. No doubt

Can't blow opportunity after opportunity on the road against #1 and win. I'm madder than hell

To be fair, they've blown em too

[War Machine Dawg]

How many have we left on base?

Fewer than them.

[JohnnyQuid]

Houston looks pretty dam good today hope he gets some confidence out of it and turns it on rest of the season

[War Machine Dawg]

We'll lose now. No doubt

Can't blow opportunity after opportunity on the road against #1 and win. I'm madder than hell

They've definitely got a little momentum. Now it's time for the inevitable Houston bed shitting.

[CadaverDawg]

Houston looks pretty dam good today hope he gets some confidence out of it and turns it on rest of the season

Kiss of death

[bulldogcountry1]

There's no way Collins should still be playing defense at this point.

[msstate7]

Houston looks pretty dam good today hope he gets some confidence out of it and turns it on rest of the season

Lord willing, we have our Sunday combo with pilkington and Houston

[msstate7]

There's no way Collins should still be playing defense at this point.

He just hit. Yep Alexander should be at 3b

[War Machine Dawg]

There's no way Collins should still be playing defense at this point.

2-0 lead late, put in Belmont or Stovall

[Skydawg1]

Unbearable announcing. "You just now Florida's gonna get it done...but when?" (talking about a natty) NEVER, as long as mini-Polk is their coach.

[War Machine Dawg]

Houston Ks the side. 2-0 Good Guys after 7.

[IMissJack]

I'm impressed with Houston today.

[JohnnyQuid]

struck out the side. I'll take it - 6 more outs

[RocketDawg]

3 k's wasn't it? been switching back and forth.

[msstate7]

6 more outs, Houston... I want you to get em

[Percho]

Fewer than them.

one less MSU 9 FL 10

[shoeless joe]

Can see zac gaining confidence rite before our eyes in this game

[Bucky Dog]

Lord willing, we have our Sunday combo with pilkington and Houston

Thanks, Nuke!

[bulldogcountry1]

Houston did a little shoulder brush off after that second K.

[MarketingBully]

Yeah, he just blew by Florida's meat of the order.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's add some runs

[Bdawg]

That a baby Houston. Sit down the freakin side!!!
These two pukes on the tv are just dying to get on the field to go handjob the whole FL staff. It's really unbelievable

[CadaverDawg]

Cody having a bad day

[msstate7]

3 k's for Cody... Somebody thinks they're a hr hitter now

[RocketDawg]

Willet has the Masters sown up. Jordan would have to get a hole in one on 18 to tie. He just bogeyed 17.

[CadaverDawg]

I'm still struggling with the fact that we only scored 1 run last inning.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm still struggling with the fact that we only scored 1 run last inning.

We Are Em State. And **** these umps. It was a ****ing homer, I don't care what they ruled. Get some got-damn glasses.

[IMissJack]

The crowd in FL is really bad considering a top 10 matchup.

[MarketingBully]

I'm still struggling with the fact that we only scored 1 run last inning.

If we win 2-0, UF fans will be struggling how they had two men on and no outs and left 10 men on base and didn't score. Things could be worse.

[BankerDog]

He should be fired any way

Let's just fire the best recruiter on the team. Sure why not.

[BayouDawg]

I'm still struggling with the fact that we only scored 1 run last inning.

That was the most Mississippi state inning ever. It had a little bit of everything. The umps shafting us, bad base running, and anti clutch at-bats. It was like a greatest hits inning

[cheewgumm]

This broadcast has basically been " my my look how great the Florida players are."

Horrible.

[msstate7]

Why does hump play in the field over rooker? Rooker seems to have better speed and hump's range is really bad

[RocketDawg]

We Are Em State. And **** these umps. It was a ****ing homer, I don't care what they ruled. Get some got-damn glasses.

I really don't think it was. They got it right. Strange bounce for sure though.

[msstate7]

Let's just fire the best recruiter on the team. Sure why not.

He may be great off the field, but his judgement at 3b is really bad in games

[Percho]

This broadcast has basically been " my my look how great the Florida players are."

Horrible.

If we win today, they will go home thinking they won two.

[War Machine Dawg]

Why does hump play in the field over rooker? Rooker seems to have better speed and hump's range is really bad

Who cares? Unlike another player in our lineup, Hump catches what he gets to and actually hits the damn ball.

[Political Hack]

This broadcast has basically been " my my look how great the Florida players are."

Horrible.

Belmonte went to Florida. They're finally talking about "what if Mississippi State actuall wins this game?"

[bulldogcountry1]

Rooker: "but curveball, bats are afraid."

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Zach. This thing is far from over. Not convinced 2 runs wins it

[Ralph]

Just poured another Jack and ginger

[MarketingBully]

This is a guy who before today had 29 strikeouts in 20 innings or so. Probably the best closer in college baseball and you guys are acting like he is a scrub pitcher. I agree to a certain degree the lead is precarious at best however I much rather be up 2-0 then down 2-0.

[War Machine Dawg]

As much as our #Meddler loves to #meddle, why the hell are we not putting in defensive subs with a 2 run lead late on the road against the number 1 team in the nation? I mean, if I can think to do it, surely a guy getting paid $500K to do it can.

[msstate7]

Who cares? Unlike another player in our lineup, Hump catches what he gets to and actually hits the damn ball.

I'm not talking about pulling him out the lineup. Wondering why he isn't the dh instead of rooker

[RocketDawg]

Was afraid Collins would drop that popup.

[Tbonewannabe]

Why does hump play in the field over rooker? Rooker seems to have better speed and hump's range is really bad

Only thing is Hump has a better arm. Is Rooker completely over his injury? Didn't he hurt his ankle early in the year?

[CadaverDawg]

As much as our #Meddler loves to #meddle, why the hell are we not putting in defensive subs with a 2 run lead late on the road against the number 1 team in the nation? I mean, if I can think to do it, surely a guy getting paid $500K to do it can.

Prolly bc our pen gave up 10 runs to EKU in an inning, ha

[CadaverDawg]

No walks, Zach!

[Ralph]

F. A walk.

[RocketDawg]

Crap. Another walk. Tying run at the plate.

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit! I hate a damn walk

[War Machine Dawg]

Only thing is Hump has a better arm. Is Rooker completely over his injury? Didn't he hurt his ankle early in the year?

And you lose the DH if you put Hump in to pitch as DH.

[Duckdog]

Would you salty bastards get positive. We are going to win this bitch!

[CadaverDawg]

**** this ump

[Ralph]

This ump. That's 3 that could've been strikes

[msstate7]

Pull em...

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a bitch, Zach. Throw strikes!

[War Machine Dawg]

"He doesn't have a homerun on the year, but he's a power guy." #TVAnalysis

[JohnnyQuid]

strikes. the announcers instantly praying for fatigue to set in on houston

[MarketingBully]

This ump is rediculous. He needs to be consistent.

[Bucky Dog]

Would you salty bastards get positive. We are going to win this bitch!

Exactly! No matter how bad or lucky these announcers keep saying we are!

[CadaverDawg]

Oh lord. Hump in to pitch vs one of their best power bats with a 2-0 count and runner on base.

It's never easy

[msstate7]

strikes. the announcers instantly praying for fatigue to set in on houston

They said last fastball was 88... God heard their prayers I suppose

[CadaverDawg]

"He doesn't have a homerun on the year, but he's a power guy." #TVAnalysis

Haha

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm fully expecting a loooooooooong bomb to tie it.

[Percho]

That ump killed us there.

[CadaverDawg]

Scary spot here

[War Machine Dawg]

Baseball gods, please let us have someone warming up in the pen. Where is Small?

[CadaverDawg]

I'm fully expecting a loooooooooong bomb to tie it.

Yep.

[msstate7]

Oh lord. Hump in to pitch vs one of their best power bats with a 2-0 count and runner on base.

It's never easy

I never thought we'd pitch this well to start with today, but I'm really nervous about hump here. He could certainly make up for those 2 missed rbi's here. Go get em, hump

[blacklistedbully]

Have not been on or following this thread, just watching the game, so don't know if anybody is seeing what I think I'm seeing. That said, I am watching this game wanting to beat the ever-loving shit out of this umpire!

It sure seems to me he is VASTLY favoring UF. I have seen pitches 16 inches off the plate called strikes for UF, and pitches on the black, or just off for us called balls EVERY DAMN TIME!

Am I wrong?

[Tbonewannabe]

Announcers just said UF had us exactly where they wanted us because the bottom of the order is up.

[JohnnyQuid]

Scary spot here

was thinking the same thing. nervous now

[RocketDawg]

Have not been on or follwong this thread, just watching the game, so don;t know if anybody is seeign what I think I'm seeing. That said, I am watching this game wanting to beat the ever-loving shit out of this umpire!

It sure seems to be he is VASTLY favoring UF. I have seen pitches 16 inches off the plate called strikes for UF, and pitches on the black, or just off for us called balls EVERY DAMN TIME!

Am I wrong?

You pretty well summed it up.

[msstate7]

Announcers just said UF had us exactly where they wanted us because the bottom of the order is up.

Their bottom of lineup has been on fire lately...

[msstate7]

Come on hump

[Duckdog]

SON OF A BITCH!

[War Machine Dawg]

What the ****?! That was strike 3

[CadaverDawg]

Shit. Walked him

[JohnnyQuid]

mother****er

[CadaverDawg]

I hate ****ing walks. Why do we walk so many!

[Ralph]

Didn't like pulling Houston there

[Tbonewannabe]

Ump continues to nut punch us with his shitty strike zone.

[cbrunt29]

We're in trouble

[CadaverDawg]

Gonna hand em this one via walks

[baseballfan]

I don't think we should have pitched Hump. We have a lot of good pitchers waiting for innings. Hump needs to work on his defense and leave pitching to the pitchers. This logic we need to let our pitchers hit.

[BankerDog]

Ump's strike zone is right in the wheel house. Thought Houston's walk had another strike in it and the last pitch by Hump was a strike.

[Duckdog]

What the ****?! That was strike 3

It's hard to win a close game when the umps are going balls deep

[GreenheadDawg]

We come to the beginning of the end. We lasted till the 8th inning

[blacklistedbully]

I swear to God, we should send a video of these pitches to the SEC offices. This guy is an absolute disgrace, IMO. Game should be over already.

[War Machine Dawg]

Moon shot for a FL win now. Is Small up throwing yet?

[cheewgumm]

The strike zone has tightened up

[CadaverDawg]

We've gotten a great pitching performance and our O is gonna lose this one

[Tbonewannabe]

Ump continues not to give us the low strike that he is giving to UF.

[cheewgumm]

That was a stike

[CadaverDawg]

"The Dreaded Eighth"

[Saltydog]

Nt

[Ralph]

WTF Thad a strike

[Tbonewannabe]

17ing POS ump.

[cheewgumm]

Good lord
