And your Cohen lineup is...

[I seen it dawg]

Expected lineup. Elih getting his much needed night off. His bat is starting to drag. Hope Cyr lights it up.

Yeah, I know Elih is a beast, but I've been puzzled why we won't DH him one game a weekend and let Kruger catch. He's definitely earned a breather, although I'll be surprised if he doesn't PH at some point. Completely with you on Cyr. He needs a good showing so Cohen will finally use him on the weekends.

[msstate7]

See mangum taunting the catcher? Haha

[wasabaka]

Good first inning by Cyr. Mangum is quickly becoming my favorite bulldog in a long time.

Join the club... I've been mangum's biggest fan for awhile now. Love this kid

[wasabaka]

Jake stealing signs at 2nd again lol

[Saltydog]

NT

[Brando]

Horrible about by Rooker.

[wasabaka]

Smith has got a pretty nasty 2 strike breaking ball.

[msstate7]

Hump!

[wasabaka]

Nice hit Reid! Dawgs up 1-0.

[chef dixon]

I thought this pitcher was right handed

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Good deal! Needed to jump on them early. Offense needs to take some pressure off our young pitchers.

[msstate7]

I thought this pitcher was right handed

I laughed

[wasabaka]

I thought this pitcher was right handed

Humphreys says it doesn't matter to him.*

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump doin' work! Hope he can hit .270 this year.*******

[msstate7]

Go to RF Collins... Gonna stay outside

[Saltydog]

limb.....

[Dawg496]

If someone could post updates, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance.

[War Machine Dawg]

If someone could post updates, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance.

I'll do my best. Having my birthday celebration currently.

[wasabaka]

I'll do my best. Having my birthday celebration currently.

Well happy birthday then!

[Dawg496]

I'll do my best. Having my birthday celebration currently.

Happy Birthday! and don't sweat it too much

[wasabaka]

Tough AB by Collins so far. Eating up pitches.

[CadaverDawg]

Collins is consistent.

[wasabaka]

Swinging K ends the inning. 1-0 Dawgs going into the top 2nd.

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins tries to take out Gridley on deck when he Ks.

1-0 Dawgs after 1.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Collins is consistent.

Probably most consistent on team this year.

[Brando]

Collins gets to many good pitches and either misses or fouls them back cause he is trying to hit a moon rocket to left field. Hit the ball up the middle or the other way Collins... DAMN!!!

[chef dixon]

Tough AB by Collins so far. Eating up pitches.

Yep, not the best result but that's gotta frustrate this pitcher going forward

[msstate7]

Collins is consistent.

Haha... I can live with that k though. He worked the pitcher

[wasabaka]

2 out walk by Cyr.

[Brando]

Mid 2nd. Dawgs 1-0

[War Machine Dawg]

Cyr gets the next guy to pop out into foul territory. 1-0 Dawgs headed B2.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I like what I'm seeing out of Cyr. Hopefully can build some confidence and help us tourney time.

[msstate7]

I hate bortles... Nice play

[Brando]

End of 2. Dawgs still 1-0

[Saltydog]

fielding hasn't been good lately.

[wasabaka]

Double play! 6-4-3

[BayouDawg]

Great double play! Need one more out Cyr

[BayouDawg]

I hate a 2 out walk

[Saltydog]

NT

[BayouDawg]

Cyr has a nice 2 seamer

[BayouDawg]

Nice! 3 solid innings by Cyr headed to the bottom of the 3rd 1-0 Dawgs

[mic]

Get this kid some runs ...

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Remind me again why Small has been pitching on weekends and Cyr sits in the dugout?

Small 10 inn. 15 ER
Cyr 15 inn. 0 ER

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I've gotten to the point where I expect Mangum to get a hit every time up. Disappointed when he doesn't! ha

[JohnnyQuid]

lowe still hot

[wasabaka]

Lowe single up the middle. 2-0 Dawgs

[msstate7]

lowe still hot

Think it's just Lowe is good. I love his approach at the plate

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I can't see this guy lasting much longer. Need to run him out. And to think this was their #2 to start the season.

[BayouDawg]

I've gotten to the point where I expect Mangum to get a hit every time up. Disappointed when he doesn't! ha

I know! Dude is special and he's only a frosh

[JohnnyQuid]

this ump has one gigantic outside corner atm

[JohnnyQuid]

Think it's just Lowe is good. I love his approach at the plate

no argument here

[BayouDawg]

Headed to the 4th 2-0 Dawgs

[msstate7]

I understand bianco's frustration with getting the name wrong, but he came across as a jerk

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bianco is really a good guy. Know him personally.

[Big4Dawg]

Can someone go punch those kids on the left who keep dancing

[msstate7]

Good job, Collins

[BayouDawg]

That's the second time Cyr has hung a breaking ball on an 0-2 count.

[msstate7]

Bianco is really a good guy. Know him personally.

Heard the same

[msstate7]

Keep an eye on cyr... That ball had a charge to it

[BayouDawg]

I understand bianco's frustration with getting the name wrong, but he came across as a jerk
Well you know what they say, if it looks like a dick and walks like a dick it's probably an ole miss douche bag

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I wonder if we recruited Gohlson since he was from Columbus?

[msstate7]

We may have found us a pitcher, boys

[BayouDawg]

Headed to the bottom of the 4th 2-0 dawgs

[mic]

Get the kid a few runs here... Let's get him thru 5 to qualify for the W...

[BayouDawg]

We may have found us a pitcher, boys

Yep Cyr has done a great job. He started leaving some balls up this past inning so it may be time to get the pen going

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Chicks sitting out on the berm drinking beer and I'm in here with you guys. Damn.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I wonder if we use Collins for popup practice for our outfielders?

[Political Hack]

Inning? Score?

[Dawg61]

Little too high and tight there Old Misses

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bot of 4. 2-0 good guys

[BayouDawg]

Bottom 4 2-0 state. 1 on 1 out for Cody brown

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bullshit

[BayouDawg]

Damn you Errol

[BayouDawg]

We can run ourselves out of innings faster than anything I've ever seen

[msstate7]

Gridley needs to keep his feet down while sliding

[BayouDawg]

Headed to the top of the 5th 2-0 state

[GreenheadDawg]

Cody brown pops up more anybody ever in the history of baseball

[msstate7]

Please don't blow the lead, zac

[Brando]

Cody brown pops up more anybody ever in the history of baseball

No more than Pop-Up-Collins.

[BayouDawg]

Gridley needs to keep his feet down while sliding

He looked like he was on a damn slip 'n' slide. But I'll give it to error Robinson that was good awareness to get the tag on the foot

[Homedawg]

We can run ourselves out of innings faster than anything I've ever seen

So you disagree running even though he beat it by 2 feet and it was pure ass luck? Ok...

[Homedawg]

No more than Pop-Up-Collins.

Not even close. Collins is a damn pop up machine. It's awful.

[BayouDawg]

come on zach just pound the zone

[War Machine Dawg]

Good outing from Cyr. Now give him some damn weekend innings, John.

[msstate7]

I like that Houston

[BayouDawg]

So you disagree running even though he beat it by 2 feet and it was pure ass luck? Ok...

No I loved the hit and run. It was just a bad break with the low pitch and grid had his feet flailing around in the air

[Dawg61]

Idk what the radar gun is saying but that looks every bit of 95mph

[msstate7]

I love striking out Errol. Good job, zac

[War Machine Dawg]

Good job, Houston. He's definitely better with a clean inning.

[Brando]

Excellent inning for Houston. Going bottom 5. Dawgs 2-0

[BayouDawg]

Nice Houston way to attack! Headed to bot 5th 2-0 state

[Dawg61]

Damn can we get a ****ing radar gun SECNetwork already?! He's touching 96-97 and I wanna see that displayed!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I think Houston gets in trouble when he tries to overthrow. Nice inning there.

[msstate7]

What did mangum hit in HS? .800?

[msstate7]

Kruger? What was that?

[BayouDawg]

Nice piece of hitting by magnum. He's the best freshman I've seen in the maroon and white in a while

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

What did mangum hit in HS? .800?

Sr .504
Jr . 457
So. .414

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger grounds into the 5-4-3. 2-0 Dawgs after 5.

[msstate7]

Sr .504
Jr . 457
So. .414

I was joking about .800, but I really did think he probably pushed .500

[BayouDawg]

Kruger hits into the 5-4-3 double play. Headed to the top of the 6th still 2-0 state

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I was joking about .800, but I really did think he probably pushed .500

Didn't start in the 3rd grade on his HS team, but did play a good bit.*

[BayouDawg]

Come on Houston attack the zone

[msstate7]

Didn't start in the 3rd grade on his HS team, but did play a good bit.*

Haha

[BayouDawg]

Dang that was a perfect bunt.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bianco must have read my post from earlier today with the bunt to Collins. I was just glad to see him field it cleanly and get it off.

[wasabaka]

Houston getting dinked for cheap hits. 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Damn, a bunt and the luckiest blooper ever.

[Brando]

O lord, here comes these damn seeing eye hits....

[wasabaka]

Bianco must have read my post from earlier today with the bunt to Collins. I was just glad to see him field it cleanly and get it off.

Yes, that was actually a great play by Gavin to make it close. Just too perfect of a bunt.

[War Machine Dawg]

O lord, here comes these damn seeing eye hits....

Just hope Houston keeps his damn head in the game. Shit like this is what's made him implode so far.

[War Machine Dawg]

Hell yeah, pop out in foul ground. 2 away. C'mon, Zac, BEAR DOWN!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Stovall!!!!

[wasabaka]

What a play by Stovall!!!!

[msstate7]

Big time play, lil backwoods

[BayouDawg]

When you make a team have to string together bunt and seeing eye singles to score runs without helping them out with walks and errors you'll win a lot of games.

[War Machine Dawg]

What a ****ing play!!!!! Stovall saves a run and ends the inning on a ridiculous diving grab. STILL 2-0 Dawgs headed B6.

[I seen it dawg]

Dammit Houston get the ball out,of the middle of the plate on 0-2. 2 horrible pitches he got away with.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

When you make a team have to string together bunt and seeing eye singles to score runs without helping them out with walks and errors you'll win a lot of games.

True dat.

[Bully13]

Holy shit did our 2nd baseman just do that?

[wasabaka]

Holy shit did our 2nd baseman just do that?

By far the best defensive play we've had all year.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Need to get our leadoff guys on.

[CadaverDawg]

Are we really gonna let this clown throw a complete game? Come on, guys!

[CadaverDawg]

By far the best defensive play we've had all year.

Clutch timing too

[War Machine Dawg]

Are we really gonna let this clown throw a complete game? Come on, guys!

If we win, he can throw 15 innings for all I care.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Gave him a hit on that. I'll take it.

[CadaverDawg]

If we win, he can throw 15 innings for all I care.

Ha, it worked.

Oh and I agree

[BayouDawg]

lowe reaches on an E-4. Need to capitalize here

[CadaverDawg]

This pitcher they put in looks like he's been making moonshine up in the hills of Tennessee

[War Machine Dawg]

lowe reaches on an E-4. Need to capitalize here

Nope, they scored it a hit. Probably should've been an E, but I'm not complaining. Lowe's earned a few of those after all the at 'em balls early in the season.

[msstate7]

Rooker is having a terrible night

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Rooker, get a freaking clue. Take 2 fastballs and then swing at an 0-2 waste pitch? Shit man, you're better than that

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

This pitcher they put in looks like he's been making moonshine up in the hills of Tennessee

He was cookin' on that at bat. damn it.

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, Hump. Need a hit.

[Skydawg1]

Rooker is having a terrible nightWeek.

[CadaverDawg]

Maybe I shoulda wished they kept Smith in

[BayouDawg]

Nope, they scored it a hit. Probably should've been an E, but I'm not complaining. Lowe's earned a few of those after all the at 'em balls early in the season.
Yea I'll take that all day. He deserves one after all the rockets he's hot right at people

[War Machine Dawg]

Maybe I shoulda wished they kept Smith in

Hump is battling hard. Good AB so far.

[Saltydog]

sucker for that pitch every time.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

That was about a shitty inning.

[CadaverDawg]

What are you calling John? And what are you swinging at Hump? That's awful all around. Stupid

[Skydawg1]

Crap inning.

[CadaverDawg]

We're going to keep wasting these men on base with less than 2 outs, until we blow this game.

[Saltydog]

nt

[MidTNDawg]

This pitcher they put in looks like he's been making moonshine up in the hills of Tennessee

Now we used to be pretty good at that down in the hollows of MS

[CadaverDawg]

When a team can't get momentum, we like to give them a boost by doing stupid shit to create some for them....like running a 250 pounder with 1 out.

[HoopsDawg]

What are you calling John? And what are you swinging at Hump? That's awful all around. Stupid

Cohens run us out of 2 innings so far. Par for the course. Can't just let em play, gotta call something.

[CadaverDawg]

Now we used to be pretty good at that down in the hollows of MS

Yea, that's true....but that ole boy looks like a product of inbreeding

[Tripp McNeely]

What's the crowd mix like for anyone there?

[Backwoodsdawg]

Big time play, lil backwoods

Lol if he was mine I would damn sure claim him after that !!! Dang what a catch!

[Op4isabitch]

About 35% shit eating mouth breathers, the rest are MSU fans***

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf Houston. Going great except on 0-2 and with 2 outs. That's mental midget.

[Tripp McNeely]

Nice!

[msstate7]

Houston might be done... Trouble here for sure

[wasabaka]

2 out HBP will kill you every time. 1st and 3rd 2 outs for OM. Come on, Houston, get out of it!

[HoopsDawg]

Wtf Houston. Going great except on 0-2 and with 2 outs. That's mental midget.

Just not very smart. He's throwing his most hittable pitches on 0-2, 1-2.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We can go from looking like the #4 team in the country to #40 quicker than any team I've ever seen.

[wasabaka]

2-0 to the batter, Houston done. Bringing in Billingsley.

[I seen it dawg]

****ing elementary shit on defense. Horrible play by hump. About as bad fundamentally as you can do its little league shit. And now Houston shits his pants bc I called him a mental midget.

[notsofarawaydawg]

I wonder if we recruited Gohlson since he was from Columbus?

Even if State did his dad is an Aubie fan and State was not an option. Dad's a real arrogant person so his son is where he needs to be.

[I seen it dawg]

Houston pitched good for him.

[wasabaka]

We can go from looking like the #4 team in the country to #40 quicker than any team I've ever seen.

This is the most accurate description I've seen of this team all year.

[msstate7]

Boy, I don't know about this move... I want a move, but bot sure about Jacob

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Houston pitched good for him.

We were all wanting him to start....I guess Cohen knew him better than we did. He's good for about 2 good innings, if that.

[msstate7]

We were all wanting him to start....I guess Cohen knew him better than we did. He's good for about 2 good innings, if that.

If he can give us 2 good innings every time out, he'd be valuable.

[wasabaka]

Great job Billingsley with the K!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Break that heart Billingsley!

[msstate7]

Shows what I know... Great job, Jacob

[I seen it dawg]

****ing stones!!!!!!!! Great job staying with the hammer.

[wasabaka]

I don't know that it was a strike, but we'll take it! Strands runners at 2nd and 3rd. Going to the bottom 7th, Dawgs lead 2-0.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol Favre is selling every piece of trash he can get his hands on

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If he can give us 2 good innings every time out, he'd be valuable.

I'm with you. That's why I said, "if that". If we could get two like the first two tonight, we'd have a legit closer.

[msstate7]

I love when Collins goes up the middle... That was freshman Collins

[Maroonthirteen]

Strike 1 and 3 were outside. But yeah... I ain't complaining. The Ump has consistently had a big zone tonight.

[I seen it dawg]

Terrible bunt attempt. Breaking ball easiest to bunt.

[msstate7]

Get this bunt down, Stovall

[I seen it dawg]

He was out. Thanks.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I don't know what he was thinking, but I like it. Got to get them over now.

[msstate7]

Get this bunt down, Stovall

Oops... Cody

[wasabaka]

****ing stones!!!!!!!!

'Round these parts, those are called Girodos.

[War Machine Dawg]

Time for some #Cohening

[msstate7]

Need ya, Stovall

[msstate7]

Bet mangum gets intentionally walked

[BulldogBear]

Time for some #Cohening

2 outs. Woohoo!*

[I seen it dawg]

Jesus what a dogshit ab

[Saltydog]

Should've put the lefty up against their righty.

[War Machine Dawg]

Terrible AB from Stovall. Damn we needed a hit.

[wasabaka]

2 outs, 2nd and 3rd. Come on, Mangum, bring 'em home!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

That hurt. Been swinging at the first pitch the last 30 ab. Let's a strike go by and swings at two headed for the dugout.

[wasabaka]

Intentional walk incoming. I wish Jake would be able to punch one of these to left field and score two.

[I seen it dawg]

That's the kind of at bat that gets you removed from starting. Almost as bad as hump throwing the ball to third base earlier.

[War Machine Dawg]

2 outs.....bases juiced.....got 'em right where we want 'em......

[wasabaka]

No such luck. He was throwing 15 feet off the plate. :D

[War Machine Dawg]

That's the kind of at bat that gets you removed from starting. Almost as bad as hump throwing the ball to third base earlier.

Hurry back, Belmont.

[klong-dog]

What a horrendous ab by Stovall. Damn I hope that doesn't come back to haunt us. Kruger needs to step up here.

[wasabaka]

That's the kind of at bat that gets you removed from starting. Almost as bad as hump throwing the ball to third base earlier.

Not with the defensive play at 2nd he had earlier.

[Bucky Dog]

Yeah you don't bunt to get to the nine hole hitter IMO.

[Tbonewannabe]

Alexander gets back, we need to move Gridley to 2nd. Stovall isn't hitting better than Alexander.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We should be hitting this guy. Longest stint has been 2 inn vs. Murray St.

[klong-dog]

Damnit that sucks. To be alil guy, he's got to be more disciplined than that.

[msstate7]

We should be hitting this guy. Longest stint has been 2 inn vs. Murray St.

Om could probably say the same about cyr

[Bucky Dog]

Bunting fails to produce a run AGAIN!!

[smootness]

Good gosh, what a terrible time to bunt. We bunted with Cody Brown to get to Stovall, so we basically gave them 2 outs, then took the bat out of our most clutch hitter's hands. That's the definition of over-managing.

[msstate7]

Hindsight and all, but maybe you ph holland for Stovall. Lefty vs rhp

[CadaverDawg]

Why did we not PH Marrero for Kruger?

[I seen it dawg]

Muther****ing horrible 2 at bats by Kruger and Stovall. The Stovall at bat there are no words for how ****ing bad that was. Can't swing at that garbage and have to be disciplined enough to put the ball in play. Situational hitting. And Kruger...Jesus were you the only one on the planet that didn't know you were getting a first pitch curveball??? Christ son sit on it on first pitch and hammer it. If you miss it then you miss it. Terrible terrible terrible

[BulldogBear]

It's all fun and games till somebody K's on a crap at bat. Then as Tyrion would say, "Your joy turns to ashes in your mouth."

#cohening

[I seen it dawg]

The bunt call was fine. If Stovall is gonna start he has to put the damn ball in play there. If you hit for him with Holland you may as well start holland.

[msstate7]

Why did we not PH Marrero?

He'd have to catch... Day off

[Maroonthirteen]

Was the Take on for Kruger? I can see him taking that 1st strike but the 2nd strike was high and over the middle. He should have ripped that pitch.

The take had to be on. Had to be......

[CadaverDawg]

Muther****ing horrible 2 at bats by Kruger and Stovall. The Stovall at bat there are no words for how ****ing bad that was. Can't swing at that garbage and have to be disciplined enough to put the ball in play. Situational hitting. And Kruger...Jesus were you the only one on the planet that didn't know you were getting a first pitch curveball??? Christ son sit on it on first pitch and hammer it. If you miss it then you miss it. Terrible terrible terrible

Yep

[I seen it dawg]

Why did we not PH Marrero for Kruger?

His bat head is bad slow right now. He's tired and needs a break.

[wasabaka]

8th inning meltdown incoming?*

[maroonmania]

Bunting fails to produce a run AGAIN!!

Wasn't a good move with Stovall coming up. He's just not ready for prime time. Seems to strike out in every key situation late in games.

[CadaverDawg]

Our pitching staff throws more 0-2 meat than any staff in the country. Good God

[klong-dog]

Falling in love with the curve Billingsly did there.

[CadaverDawg]

His bat head is bad slow right now. He's tired and needs a break.

It would have been the perfect counter to them walking Mangum to get to the RH Kruger. Might have caused a pitching change

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bortles can tie this game in two seconds

[maroonmania]

8th inning meltdown incoming?*

Yep, already give up a single on an 0-2 pitch.

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy great job!

[klong-dog]

This shit only happens to us. Wtf

[wasabaka]

Collins has to read that ball off the bat better. That was a play for the 3rd baseman.

[Brando]

Here we go. Gotta make it interesting of course..

[I seen it dawg]

And shit

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

We can have the weirdest shit happen to us. I swear.

[rcsteph1]

I despise the 8th inning

[Saltydog]

situation though......

[cheewgumm]

I haven't watched every game, but of the ones I've watched, I've never seen State give up more indield hits.

It's crazy the weird ways people reach and the mistakes we make.

[cheewgumm]

I thought the pitcher NEVER fields on plays like that.

As a pitcher I was always taught to get out of the way.

[Bucky Dog]

Double play would solve a lot of problems.

[Brando]

Bring Hump in to finish it off in the 9th. If he is gonna close, use him...

[klong-dog]

D. Brown here?

[BulldogBear]

D. Brown here?

Not yet but he is the only one warming up currently.

[klong-dog]

Lordy I go Brown here, lefty on lefty.

[smootness]

The bunt call was fine. If Stovall is gonna start he has to put the damn ball in play there. If you hit for him with Holland you may as well start holland.

Stovall is nowhere near as good a hitter as Brown. So no, it wasn't a good call.

[BulldogBear]

Dodged a bullet there. Would a lile another run or two.

[wasabaka]

Yes! Got out of the 8th unscathed. Let's get an insurance run and bring in Reid to close it out!!!

[Maroonthirteen]

Billingsly sitting em down with the slider.

[cheewgumm]

I couldn't take Billingsly out until he messes up.

[HoopsDawg]

Lol, cohening! That's 4 outs he's given them.

[I seen it dawg]

****** mental midgets

[wasabaka]

Jeez, bad read by Rooker there. Now 2 outs.

[klong-dog]

Boy we can lose em on the bases as much as anyone

[wasabaka]

Lol, cohening! That's 4 outs he's given them.

That wasn't Cohen. Nobody would send Rooker in that situation. Rooker read the ball in the dirt and thought it would be easier than it was.

[I seen it dawg]

Stovall is nowhere near as good a hitter as Brown. So no, it wasn't a good call.

The bunt call was fine. Stovall has to put it in play period.

[maroonmania]

So we aren't going to pitch Humphreys in the 9th?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Collins with one thing on his mind right here.

[I seen it dawg]

So we aren't going to pitch Humphreys in the 9th?

Not now
