We all know what last game was... That said, if we somehow win this next one, we are some resilient SOBs.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

**** game 3

[Bothrops]

We gonna have to light up the bats to win this one.

[wasabaka]

And OM has moved a half game ahead of us in the SECW standings. Thanks Cohen!

This game is a MUST win.

[confucius say]

Started yet?

[msstate7]

And OM has moved one game ahead of us in the SECW standings. Thanks Cohen!

This game is a MUST win.

Higher rpi already... Quite possible they could take our place as a team flirting with a national seed if we lose again today

[CadaverDawg]

I started drinking when Cohen was choking away the first game, so I apologize in advance if we lose this game and I go batshit crazy. Cohen has driven me to drink. I think I'm still in shock over game 1. Cohen deserves a punch in the ****ing face. From all of us.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

**** game 3
Ditto

[CadaverDawg]

Higher rpi already... Quite possible they could take our place as a team flirting with a national seed if we lose again today

Yep. And they get A&M at home (like us, except we got swept bc MSU), so they are in a great position to earn a Natty Seed. We're in great position to lose one, so I fully expect us to take advantage.

[CadaverDawg]

**** game 3

I hear ya, coldsleeve. I'm numb

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

And OM has moved a half game ahead of us in the SECW standings. Thanks Cohen!

This game is a MUST win.

Lose this and Alabama will be ahead of us in the standings. Is there a chance of getting a national seed if we finish in the bottom half of the division?**

[CadaverDawg]

Lose this and Alabama will be ahead of us in the standings. Is there a chance of getting a national seed if we finish in the bottom half of the division?**

Ouch. That truth hurt right there

[Brando]

Lose this and Alabama will be ahead of us in the standings. Is there a chance of getting a national seed if we finish in the bottom half of the division?**

If we loose ONE series that we have left, we wont get a national seed.

[ScoobaDawg]

Storm system 40 miles out. might get an hour in before half to stop for a break.

[ScoobaDawg]

I started drinking when Cohen was choking away the first game, so I apologize in advance if we lose this game and I go batshit crazy. Cohen has driven me to drink. I think I'm still in shock over game 1. Cohen deserves a punch in the ****ing face. From all of us.

You..Emotional? Really...neeeevvvverr

[msstate7]

We need to score right here

[MarketingBully]

If you just throw strikes, we should shut Alabama down. We need 4-5 runs this game to win.

[ScoobaDawg]

We need to score right here

Thats generally the gist of why you play..

[ScoobaDawg]

2 up 2 fly outs....

[ScoobaDawg]

Well at least he had to work for that one... ground ball ... 3 up 3 out

[msstate7]

Thats generally the gist of why you play..

In a shortened game, whoever falls behind first will press. It'll probably be us

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

I started drinking when Cohen was choking away the first game, so I apologize in advance if we lose this game and I go batshit crazy. Cohen has driven me to drink. I think I'm still in shock over game 1. Cohen deserves a punch in the ****ing face. From all of us.

Same. Literally went to store to get another bottle of Jack after that shit show.

[MarketingBully]

Great, 1-2-3 for MSU.

[TUSK]

Ouch. That truth hurt right there

... and Bammer has Arkie and AU remaining... (and SC)...

[Brando]

I see we have the same damn small ass strike zone from the ump...

[MarketingBully]

How was that not a strike on 2-2?

[DawgPoundtheRock]

Storm system 40 miles out. might get an hour in before half to stop for a break.

It'll give the bullpen time to rest.***

[msstate7]

Attention miss state pitchers... Bama is the WORST hitting team in the sec. Make them hit to get on!!!

[MarketingBully]

As I said, if we throw strikes....

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

We are so ****ed in this game. Thanks Cohen.

[MarketingBully]

Going to top of the second scoreless.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Jesus it's infuriating to have felt so good about this team and to see that our conference record is 11-9. I know that y'all still say we have a chance at a national seed, but it doesn't seem like national seeds usually sport an 18-12 conference record.

[CadaverDawg]

You..Emotional? Really...neeeevvvverr

Haha, I'm passionate about my dawgs man

[msstate7]

Make em pay

[MarketingBully]

Rooker gets a two base error to get to second. Good job keeping him out of the lineup for game two Cohen.

[ScoobaDawg]

Rooker knocks one to lf 5 feet short of the wall but the fielder drops it...
Rooker advances to 3rd on a WP

[ScoobaDawg]

GET HIM IN....1 away... DO YOUR JOB

[ScoobaDawg]

Hump base hit to RF!!!! 1-0

[MarketingBully]

Why did we not play Rooker in game 2? He is too valuable to keep out of the lineup. Runner on third with one out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Big hit, Hump! 1-0 Dawgs

[MarketingBully]

Rooker hits a three run Homer and has a big first game and we keep him out for what? Doesn't make sense. Shit like that puzzles me.

[War Machine Dawg]

Why did we not play Rooker in game 2? He is too valuable to keep out of the lineup. Runner on third with one out.

Because the #Meddler was full blown #Cohening before the game even started when he made out the lineup card.

[State82]

Our national seed chances are just slightly above zero.

[RocketDawg]

Need Roku/WatchESPN help. Saw the first game OK, but then tried to get the second game today and I get a message "Unable to watch video - need to reauthenticate". What does that mean and how is it done? It's supposed to be automatic I think.

[MarketingBully]

We have failed on every hit and run the Meddler has called today.

[ScoobaDawg]

Hump running keeps the double player from happening. ROBSON out at 1st
gridley knocks in to right field HUMP scores...2-0 DOGS!!!!

[War Machine Dawg]

Gridley with a big knock to score Hump. 2-0

Games and situations like this tell you who you really are. I expect this team to bounce back.

ETA: forgot to hit enter 45 minutes ago

[MarketingBully]

This is a much more potent lineup just putting Rooker into it. You only deal with one weak hitter in the lineup in Alexander. This lineup will produce runs. Once Robson gets his feet under him move him to first or second and either have Mangum bat first or second. Then 3-7 has a bunch of big bats in it.

[War Machine Dawg]

2-0 Dawgs headed B2.

Would be great if we could throw up a zero here.

It's hooked to my television, not computer.

Rooker had to be unavailable period in the game. Too many situations we would have seen him. Dunno if he violated a rule or what. Cohen is hardheaded -- but he is certainly trying to win and everyone including him knew Rooker's bat would have helped us in a half dozen situations there.

[msstate7]

Gridley with a big knock to score Hump. 2-0

Gridley has really stepped it up offensively from last year. He could be really good next season

[ScoobaDawg]

Storms about 15 miles out.. will be getting within range of lightning warnings within next 15-20 minutes likely.

[msstate7]

[War Machine Dawg]

Pilk rolls through his half. 2-0 Good Guys after 2. Top of the order up in the 3rd.

[MarketingBully]

What we needed. Pilk threw up a zero there. 1-2-3 going to the top of the third.

[I seen it dawg]

We run a little league ship where we got to let some guys play sometimes.
He's the ****ing captain!!! #unorthodoxing

[engie]

My boy is growing up. And finally in a situation we can't much give him the quick hook.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Give him credit- Cohen pulled all the right strings in that second inning.

[I seen it dawg]

Pilk rolls through his half. 2-0 Good Guys after 2. Top of the order up in the 3rd.

He's the only guy we have right now that pitches with tempo. Everybody needs to take a lesson.

[msstate7]

Is this Andy Phillips calling game? Remember him and Travis chapman putting on a show at Dudy Nobel when I was in school

[engie]

We run a little league ship where we got to let some guys play sometimes.
He's the ****ing captain!!! #unorthodoxing

Because he isn't trying to win*

[I seen it dawg]

Because he isn't trying to win*

Well it works 65/100 I guess

[Bucky Dog]

Storms about 15 miles out.. will be getting within range of lightning warnings within next 15-20 minutes likely.

Will we stay over and play tomorrow if it is rained out? It can through Jackson earlier and lasted less than two hours to move through. I would assume we will get it in tonight after a delay.

[I seen it dawg]

Hopefully Pilkington doesn't get a runner at third with 2 strikes and 2 outs next inning. To a .173 hitter. Bring the hook!!!!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Will we stay over and play tomorrow if it is rained out? It can through Jackson earlier and lasted less than two hours to move through. I would assume we will get it in tonight after a delay.

No. That's against sec rules

[I seen it dawg]

Shit that was a perfect pitch to Lowe

[War Machine Dawg]

Will we stay over and play tomorrow if it is rained out? It can through Jackson earlier and lasted less than two hours to move through. I would assume we will get it in tonight after a delay.

Don't think so. If we're rained out, that's it. SEC rule on getaway day.

[Bucky Dog]

No. That's against sec rules

I was thinking since it is a Sunday I thought we might.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Lowe has not seen a pitch on the inside part of the plate all weekend... I don't know why he continues to try and pull off on every pitch.

[RocketDawg]

Did it send you a code and a website to go enter it?


Didn't mean to quote engie

No, just said it needed to re-authenticated. Pushed the OK button, then it goes back to the menu of what shows are available ... I pick the game and it does the same thing all over again. Been through the menu and can't find where you put in the required information. I seem to remember it just did it automatically once I told it I had Dish when I first turned it on some months ago.

[I seen it dawg]

Why aren't we running for Lowe? #unorthodoxing

[Saltydog]

Not sure. Maybe reboot router and try againb

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger & Collins reach, but no one can score. 2-0 headed B3.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If A&M loses two today it's gonna be a dirty, damn shame we blew that first game.

[Bucky Dog]

We need a DP badly!!

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a bitch. Catch the ****ing ball, Luke. Shit shit shit

[War Machine Dawg]

Our boy LA goes E4. 1 out, runners 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Damn!

[mic]

Everybody wanted Belmont back

[MarketingBully]

If Pilk is starting, we are going to have errors in the field.

[I seen it dawg]

Cohen finally makes a good move today.

[msstate7]

Come on Luke...

[mic]

Well there is 2 on and we are up 2-0 . We better go to the pen....

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Lol. Cohen pulled Alexander.

[Bucky Dog]

And Cohen just take Luke out of the game during the inning after he drops a low throw from Collins! WOW!!!

[msstate7]

Everybody wanted Belmont bout..

Still want him... At SS

[War Machine Dawg]

Everybody wanted Belmont bout..

We want him at SS. Shit happens. It's frustrating, but he's been our best infield defender so far.

[wasabaka]

Holland in at 2nd. Did Luke tweak something on that failed catch, or is this move just due to the error?

[mic]

Still want him... At SS

He is where he needs to Be.

[Bucky Dog]

That's pretty embarrassing for Cohen to do that shit.

[War Machine Dawg]

Holland in at 2nd. Did Luke tweak something on that failed catch, or is this move just due to the error?

No, purely the error. Although I'm assuming Cohen interpreted him as loafing after the loose ball or something.

[mic]

Cohen finally makes a good move today.

I agree... And is his only AB game one, he looked like he half assed tried to bunt..
Too bad we can't jerk Cohen for bonehead moves...

[msstate7]

That's pretty embarrassing for Cohen to do that shit.

Why not pull Collins now?

[Saltydog]

recall seeing a middle IF taken out during the middle of an inning after one error.

[ScoobaDawg]

Guess there was enough hot air over tuscaloosa to break the line of storms up.... looks like wont have any delays

[Bucky Dog]

Why not pull Collins now?

Exactly

[War Machine Dawg]

Big K by Pilk. 2 away.

[wasabaka]

Huge K there.

[msstate7]

recall seeing a middle IF taken out during the middle of an inning after one error.

The problem with it is now we can't ph for holland.

[War Machine Dawg]

Pilk works out of the jam. 2-0 after 3.

[messageboardsuperhero]

Pilkington refuses to put people on for free... That's just about all it takes against this team. Keep it up.

[MarketingBully]

That is big for Pilk. This time didn't let the error get to him. That was a good mound visit by Johnson. I agree though with taking LA out right there. How the hell do you drop that ball?

[War Machine Dawg]

E4 and the leadoff man reaches.

[War Machine Dawg]

That is big for Pilk. This time didn't let the error get to him. That was a good mound visit by Johnson. I agree though with taking LA out right there. How the hell do you drop that ball?

Shit happens. See it all the time.

[ScoobaDawg]

Hump gets on base when the 2b drops the ball 3 times for an error

[ScoobaDawg]

Robson fouls the bunt attempt... swing away...

dAMNIT..STIRKOUT on a pitch way out of the zone

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Hope we don't get stuck on 2 again. Won't be enough.

[the59dawg]

Gave them 5 outs in 3rd with no score. The no score afta that is gutsy for Pilk. The extra outs on Alex and Gavin suck. 10 walks in 1st game. 2 extra outs already in 2nd. We just have to tighten up and concentrate.

[mic]

Shit happens. See it all the time.

**** that... Light a fire under their ass.. That could have cost us a huge inning.. Get these ****ers focused .. This is a huge ****ing game.. If the casualty is Belmont so be it.. If he is competitive he will have his ass ready and focused next game...

[War Machine Dawg]

Dawgs go quietly in the 4th. Still 2-0 Good Guys headed B4.

[MarketingBully]

So we need to get it into the fifth inning before it would become official. Heading to the bottom of the fourth 2-0 Dogs.

[msstate7]

Bama coach probably told his team to just look to walk

[MarketingBully]

Lead off walk by Pilk....

[War Machine Dawg]

Shit, Holland out of position and costs Pilk a DP. We gonna pull him now?

[War Machine Dawg]

So we need to get it into the fifth inning before it would become official. Heading to the bottom of the fourth 2-0 Dogs.

I was wondering if it was 4th or 5th in a 7 inning game.

[MarketingBully]

Our middle infielders screw up an easy double play ball

[the59dawg]

Shit, Holland out of position and costs Pilk a DP. We gonna pull him now?

Nope Pilk held the ball too long. He should have thrown it immediately. Holland was waiting on the bag for the throw and he made a good try at getting it on to first.

[War Machine Dawg]

Holland ****s up ANOTHER DP! Two batters in a row. Y'all still think pulling Belmont was the right call?

[ScoobaDawg]

I was wondering if it was 4th or 5th in a 7 inning game.

Doesnt matter there is no weather out there to save us.

[War Machine Dawg]

This strike zone is garbage. Just throw it down the ****ing middle, dare them to hit, and dare the ump to call it a ball.

[War Machine Dawg]

Doesnt matter there is no weather out there to save us.

Yeah, sun's back out. I was just wondering for future reference mostly. Don't know that I ever knew which it was.

[wasabaka]

Strike zone is way too tight. Ump is horrible.

[wasabaka]

Finally! Haven't gotten that strike call all day. We'll take it!

Dawgs 2-0 headed to the top of the 5th.

[War Machine Dawg]

Backwards K and Pilk has another fairly easy inning. 2-0 Dawgs after 4. Need some more runs, although Pilk's looking damn good.

[mic]

Holland ****s up ANOTHER DP! Two batters in a row. Y'all still think pulling Belmont was the right call?

100% incorrect .. That's on Plink
Holland or Belmont it doesn't matter ..
If holland had dropped that ball and loafed after it and Cohen had pulled him I would have been all far that

[wasabaka]

We need to get a couple more runs here with the top of the order up.

[I seen it dawg]

The problem with it is now we can't ph for holland.

Can't anyway we have no more infielders.

[wasabaka]

Damn. 1-2-3 going to the bottom 5th.

[War Machine Dawg]

Quick inning for Bama. 2-0 headed B5.

[I seen it dawg]

Holland ****s up ANOTHER DP! Two batters in a row. Y'all still think pulling Belmont was the right call?

Holland was waiting on the bag. Totally on pilk

[MarketingBully]

Would love to see Pilk go two more innings and Humphreys close it out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Holland was waiting on the bag. Totally on pilk

Uhhh.....that one was Collins double clutching because Holland wasn't there. The first - debatable. The second - not a chance. But keep on.

[msstate7]

Can't anyway we have no more infielders.

We could've until we pulled Alexander. Could've ph Cody or marrero and subbed holland in for defense

[msstate7]

One good thing about the abortion of a game earlier is it forced us to let pilk pitch longer. If that game leads to coaches having confidence in pilk to go longer, it may have been somewhat worth it

[wasabaka]

Pilkington is dealing. Still 2-0 going to top 6th.

[mic]

Uhhh.....that one was Collins double clutching because Holland wasn't there. The first - debatable. The second - not a chance. But keep on.

Well IF that was the case , which not sure how you could tell unless ur at the game, at least he caught it...

[War Machine Dawg]

Nice, fairly quick inning by Pilk. 2-0 Dawgs after 5. Pilk at 86 pitches. Dunno if he can CG it, but he's looking good.

[War Machine Dawg]

One good thing about the abortion of a game earlier is it forced us to let pilk pitch longer. If that game leads to coaches having confidence in pilk to go longer, it may have been somewhat worth it

Way to look for a silver lining. (But yeah, Pilk has definitely earned a longer leash. But if we aren't giving Sexton a leash, we ain't giving one to Pilk)

[War Machine Dawg]

Well IF that was the case , which not sure how you could tell unless ur at the game, at least he caught it...

Camera angle. You can see Collins grab it and double clutch his throw to wait on Holland.

[msstate7]

Until Robson gets back right, I think we should hit him 9th. We need a guy that can drive the ball hitting 6th. Hitting him 9th gives us 2 leadoff hitters

[War Machine Dawg]

Dawgs don't score in the 6th. Still 2-0 headed B6.

[War Machine Dawg]

Until Robson gets back right, I think we should hit him 9th. We need a guy that can drive the ball hitting 6th

He's actually 7th in this game. But I agree, 8th or 9th until he's gotten his timing back.

[msstate7]

He's actually 7th in this game. But I agree, 8th or 9th until he's gotten his timing back.

Dang, I'm slipping bad

[Saltydog]

used to pitching this long........

[wasabaka]

Until Robson gets back right, I think we should hit him 9th. We need a guy that can drive the ball hitting 6th. Hitting him 9th gives us 2 leadoff hitters

Agree. You could tell he was frustrated with himself after that last groundout.

[War Machine Dawg]

This strike zone is just garbage. There's no outside strike.

[War Machine Dawg]

BIG K by Pilk there. 2 away, runner at 2B.

[DownwardDawg]

Did the game end or something?

[wasabaka]

Pilkington is still dealing. Swinging K for the 2nd out, man on second. He is at 107 pitches.

[DownwardDawg]

BIG K by Pilk there. 2 away, runner at 2B.

Finally! Another update. I'm counting on you guys.

[msstate7]

1 more out, pilk... Gotta figure hump gets 7th

[wasabaka]

Base hit up the middle scores a run. 2-1 State. Still 2 outs.

[War Machine Dawg]

Damn! Bama lines a single back up the middle, run scores. 2-1 Dawgs, 2 out.

[msstate7]

Think you've gotta go hump here

[sandwolf]

2 out RBI single.....2-1 dogs

[War Machine Dawg]

Finally! Another update. I'm counting on you guys.

Ha, just a long AB.

[MarketingBully]

This is a tailor made Reid Humphreys situation on the mound.

[wasabaka]

Looks like Brown and Young in the bullpen. I hope we bring in Humphreys.

[War Machine Dawg]

Think you've gotta go hump here

Yeah, Pilk's starting to struggle with his location a little bit. He looks gassed. Betting we go with Small or whoever's in the pen, but I'm with you: Hump Time.

[wasabaka]

Brown coming out of the pen.

[War Machine Dawg]

Daniel Brown into the game.

[MarketingBully]

Daniel Brown again?

[DownwardDawg]

Oh my

[MarketingBully]

We have a kid with 6 saves and we don't bring him in an obvious situation for him? Johnson really is getting on my nerves here.

[War Machine Dawg]

We have a kid with 6 saves and we don't bring him in an obvious situation for him? Johnson really is getting on my nerves here.

I'm OK with this. Brown has been solid lately and is as much a swing-and-miss pitcher as Hump. *knock on wood*

[DownwardDawg]

We have a kid with 6 saves and we don't bring him in an obvious situation for him? Johnson really is getting on my nerves here.

Yeah, I'm not understanding this one.

[MarketingBully]

I'm OK with this. Brown has been solid lately and is as much a swing-and-miss pitcher as Hump. *knock on wood*

I'm only okay with it if we bring in Hump for the bottom of the seventh.

[Saltydog]

NT

[CadaverDawg]

Walk

Here we go

[MarketingBully]

And Brown walks a batter....

[wasabaka]

Damn. Ahead 1-2 and he ends up walking him.

[BossDawg]

Good lord just get the f'n out!!!! This is sooooo frustrating!

[msstate7]

We pulled a lefty with a rh hitter up only to go to another lhp. Just weird

[War Machine Dawg]

Shit, lost him after getting ahead 1-2. NOW we need to go to Hump.

[DownwardDawg]

Can we bring in humphries now?

[MarketingBully]

BRING IN HUMPHREYS OUR FREAKING CLOSER!!!!!!!

[MarketingBully]

Here is what I will say. If the roles were reversed, Alabama would bring in their closer 100%.

[DownwardDawg]

Here is what I will say. If the rolls were reversed, Alabama would bring in their closer 100%.

1 batter ago

[wasabaka]

I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with Humphreys being able to pitch. We haven't used him in forever it seems like. When was the last game he closed? Last weekend?

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, DB. Get outta this.

[MarketingBully]

I'm beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with Humphreys being able to pitch. We haven't used him in forever it seems like. When was the last game he closed? Last weekend?

There isn't anything wrong.

[wasabaka]

Holy shit that was a strike!!!

[wasabaka]

Brown got bailed out by the batter on that one. Swinging K ends the inning. 2-1 going to top 7th.

[msstate7]

Thank you for swinging at that

[state66]

My god our bullpen blows. Holcombe bailed brown out there. He looks like hes got 0 confidence standing on the mound.

[ScoobaDawg]

3 more outs... Scoring in the top would be nice but just 3 more outs.

[War Machine Dawg]

Brown gets out of the jam. 2-1 Dawgs after 6.

[BossDawg]

3 more outs... Scoring in the top would be nice but just 3 more outs.

We'll go down 1-2-3.

[ScoobaDawg]

Here is what I will say. If the roles were reversed, Alabama would bring in their closer 100%.

The roles aren't even reversed and bama just brought in their closer to start the 7th

[MarketingBully]

Gee look, Alabama bringing in their closer while our closer stays out in the outfield or we could have used him to close the previous game but oh wait we pitch ran for him. None of our pitchers are even close to six saves.

[ScoobaDawg]

We'll go down 1-2-3.

well two outs before watchespn shows the first pitch...

[ScoobaDawg]

Gee look, Alabama bringing in their closer while our closer stays out in the outfield or we could have used him to close the previous game but oh wait we pitch ran for him. None of our pitchers are even close to six saves.

Actually...Hump has 5 saves

[MarketingBully]

If Humphreys isn't in for the seventh, Johnson is terrible.

[wasabaka]

And 1-2-3

[MarketingBully]

Actually...Hump has 6 saves

Hump was who I was talking about.

[MarketingBully]

I meant to say none of our other pitchers are close to six saves even.

[War Machine Dawg]

Dawgs go in order in the 7th. 3 more outs! #PleasePitchHump

[wasabaka]

Brown still in.

[ScoobaDawg]

loganlowery ‏@loganlowery 2m2 minutes ago
Humphreys did warm up in the pen while the Bulldogs were batting.

[wasabaka]

Like I asked earlier, is there a problem with Humphreys that we don't know about?

[MarketingBully]

Shit. What are we doing? This is just impossible to explain. What are we doing? Why isn't Hump pitching? Give yourselves a ****ing chance on the mound Cohen/Johnson.

[ScoobaDawg]

Come on Arkansas too we wasted your one chance

[wasabaka]

I don't understand this at all. I hope Brown proves us wrong.

[ScoobaDawg]

STRIKEOUT!!! 1 away

[MarketingBully]

This is flat out playing with TNT. Nothing wrong with Humphreys.

[War Machine Dawg]

DB K. 1 away!

[Dawg496]

1 more out

[MarketingBully]

I don't understand this at all. I hope Brown proves us wrong.

I don't care if he proves us wrong or not. He is not our closer. Hump is. This is just plain dumb any way you look at it.

[ScoobaDawg]

Lineout to LF!!!! 2 away

I completely agree.

GAME OVER

[ScoobaDawg]

BULLDOGS WIN!!!! 2-1

[jbjones]

Way to go DAWGS!

[dawgoneyall]

i have nothing to add.

[BossDawg]

Whew!!!

[War Machine Dawg]

WRAP IT IN MAROON AND WHITE!!!!!

[wasabaka]

I'm glad we won this series, but once again, this should have been a sweep. We aren't going to go far if we can't maintain focus for three games against an inferior team.

[JohnnyQuid]

Shoulda been a sweep but I'll take 2 outta 3 every time

[MarketingBully]

Glad we won but still a dumb decision to not pitch your best there to close w game.

[Saltydog]

Need him down the stretch if we're going to make a run at the West Championship or deep into post season play.

[RocketDawg]

Would've been nice to sweep, but we take what we can get. At least we got two of them.

[wasabaka]

This was way too close for comfort.

You can say that about most of our relievers. Its always the walks and HBPs that make them so unreliable. I have to believe something is wrong with Humphreys pitching wise or he would have been brought in. If so makes me feel a little more forgiving of Cohen in the first game today.

[Bucky Dog]

We should have swept and been in first in the west no doubt about it. But the Meddler couldn't help himself!!!

[dawgoneyall]

i have nothing to add.

Well I will add....Cohen had done a very good job. He was left the worst program in the SEC and has elevated our program to near the top. But that is no excuse for being a complete asshole that even our fans can't stand. Either he has to have a compete character make over or get him out of here an hire a coach with about at least 2 degrees of character.
I have been a Cohen defender before...that is over.

[TUSK]

Congrats on the (series) win, guys!...

[messageboardsuperhero]

Very proud of the team. Daniel Brown finally has a good role. Konnor Pilkington pitched fantastic as well- MVP of the game, by far.

Still disappointed in the first game... We seem to be allergic to sweeping people. But 2/3 on the road will work just fine.

[Jacksondevildog]

We need to sweep Missouri next weekend.

I didn't really follow this game very closely. Did something happen with Cohen? I mean making stupid coaching moves doesn't make someone an asshole.

Nothing was wrong with him. He was warming up while we were batting to go in the seventh the second game. He is our closer that didn't even sniff the field today because dumb shit Cohen pinch run for him in game one. Could have used him and he would have shut Bama's bats down and we would have swept Alabama today possibly. A guy who can throw 94-96 and has a great breaking pitch would have sat these ****ers down.

Why would Cohen not use him at all today if he's OK to pitch? If there is anything you can say about Cohen its he wants to win.

I have no idea what that guy is talking about.

[Homedawg]

Actually, if they catch a fly ball we lose 2. So 2 of 3 was right. But I was uber pissed about not throwing strikes. That's a joke in game 2.

[mparkerfd20]

I have been and will be a Cohen tolerator, but will never be a Cohen Supporter

[ScoobaDawg]

A&M jumps back up on Ark 8-6 in the 6th.

[smootness]

The good news is, that is the best team we will play from here on out, it was on the road, we didn't play particularly well today, and we still won the series. I would say there's a decent chance we win 7-8 of our last 9 SEC games. We're 12-9, and I think we can get to 20.

19-11 is about the best we can hope for. We can't seem to sweep anyone and to get to 20 we would need to sweep 2 of our next 3 series. I just don't see that happening.

Remove Alexander after an error....then on the post-game gave some lame ass excuse.....

[War Machine Dawg]

Why would Cohen not use him at all today if he's OK to pitch? If there is anything you can say about Cohen its he wants to win his way. His "unorthodox" moves have to be the reason for the W.

FIFY

The lame excuse (your words) being Belmont still with fractured wrist? Hell he didn't look comfortable out there all day...

[maroonmania]

FIFY

Well, someone HAS to ask Cohen why Humphreys didn't pitch today and if Cohen says anything other than he wasn't available (for whatever reason) then I am going to be royally pissed.

Careful on sleeping on Ark.. playing a&m very well this weekend
Ark puts one back on the board 8-7 after 6

Has Luke ever played 2b before today? Wonder if that could've been a reason for some of that discomfort

[sandjunky]

Playing 2b made him soo uncomfortable that he couldn't catch an easy throw from Collins?
