State vs Mizzou- Game 2

[Coach34]

Magnum
Kruger
Lowe
Collins
Robby
Rook
Marrero
Grid
Holland

Hump getting the day off so he doesnt extend his strikeout lead even further on the team. 95 with a slider gonna be tough sledding tonight

[I seen it dawg]

Best lineup ever

[msbulldog]

On it. GO DAWGS!

[CadaverDawg]

I'm fine with this lineup, but I don't like how the last 3-4 games we're seeing a lot more meddling with the lineup than we'd been seeing. It's as if when Robson returned, Cohen's lineup meddling returned with it. I was enjoying the semi-consistent lineups and continuity we were starting to see. Hope it's not a trend. I love Robby being back in, but batting 5th makes zero sense imo

[War Machine Dawg]

You had to figure #TheMeddler was gonna want to play with the toys once he had more to play with.

And C34 can eat a dick for rooting against Hump. He's only hitting .331. But .270 will be a successful season for him.*****

[CadaverDawg]

Why does Collins take a 2-0 fastball down the screws? What exactly is he looking for there? He should be sitting fastball and looking for his 9th bomb...not taking as if he's a 9 hole guy looking to walk

[War Machine Dawg]

Why does Collins take a 2-0 fastball? What exactly is he looking for there? He should be sitting fastball and looking for his 9th bomb...not taking as if he's a 9 hole guy looking to walk

#PopUpCollins. He's a bad DH. Occasionally runs into a bomb, but doesn't pitch hunt well.

[Coach34]

who is rooting against Hump? He is batting .500 vs LHP's- but RHP's are abusing him. He leads the team with 38 K's...Rooker has 32...and the next one is Kruger at 25....RHP's own his ass. He is a .220 hitter vs RHP's

Even Cohen is sitting him tonight- I mean damn- can it be more obvious????

[maroonmania]

Hope this guy doesn't score because of another defensive play we can't complete. Questionable slide but Holland should have held onto the ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Holland shut the **** up and hold on to the baseball

[I seen it dawg]

Grid sucks. Can't play short in sec.

[maroonmania]

Nice play by Gridley to get us out of the inning with no damage.

[Coach34]

the last 13 SEC games- Hump is:

12/47- .255....with 15K's

[War Machine Dawg]

Sexton looks good early. 0-0 headed B2.

[I seen it dawg]

Poll question...

All time best left fielder? Hump or Rusty Thoms?

[EdDawg]

Not going to blame holland for that. He had a spike go into the underside of his wrist, so more than likely his hand went numb on impact.

On the other hand I hope he smacked the guy pretty hard in the helmet on the pick off later.

[mic]

Poll question...

Come 32.....

[DawgPoundtheRock]

Guys, for some of us this is the only access we have to this game. The more detail the better. Thanks

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Hello boys. Sorry I'm late. Need to get this one. Looks like we may have a chance to pick up a game on A&M. They are down 5-0 in bot of 5th. Going to need to be patient with this guy. Can't help him any. We may only see 1 hittable pitch per ab. Got to make sure we're on it.

[jbjones]

Scoreless T3, Missouri with runners on 2nd and 3rd after a hit, walk, wild pitch. 1 out.

[I seen it dawg]

We worry so ****ing much about runners. Just work on the hitter and pound the zone. ****ing terrible.

[maroonmania]

Danger of getting into a bad spot here. We will be lucky to get 4 or 5 runs tonight.

[RocketDawg]

Sexton not looking so good now. After a walk, a wild pitch, and a big hit to right, we're down 2-0.

Their ace pitcher looks pretty darn good.

[jbjones]

Ring's double puts Missouri up 2-0. Fly out...2 down.

[MarketingBully]

Sexton got too cute. This could be danger zone.

[I seen it dawg]

Not going to blame holland for that. He had a spike go into the underside of his wrist, so more than likely his hand went numb on impact.

On the other hand I hope he smacked the guy pretty hard in the helmet on the pick off later.

It's only Holland. He is out by 6 feet. Got to pick your glove up and pop tag him.

[War Machine Dawg]

We worry so ****ing much about runners. Just work on the hitter and pound the zone. ****ing terrible.

#Meddling Cohen is calling the pickoffs from the dugout.

[maroonmania]

Sexton has been his own worst enemy lately. Last week it was the balk, this week it was the walk followed by a wild pitch to give Mizzou 2 runs.

[Percho]

I was saying before that double with 2 balls already walk that guy.

[RocketDawg]

Couldn't help but notice that Vandy is ahead of A&M 4-0 and UMiss is down 2 to Georgia.

[MarketingBully]

Sexton also relies too much on the batter to swing and miss. They haven't chased that first ball pitch too much tonight.

[jbjones]

Couldn't help but notice that Vandy is ahead of A&M 4-0 and UMiss is down 2 to Georgia.

Very nice. I was doing something and couldn't hear Jim's score update.

And we're out of the Inning. 2-0 tigers.

Gridley, Holland, Mangum due up.

[Mjoelner34]

We worry so ****ing much about runners. Just work on the hitter and pound the zone. ****ing terrible.

Exactly!

[maroonmania]

Couldn't help but notice that Vandy is ahead of A&M 4-0 and UMiss is down 2 to Georgia.

UMiss is up by 2 now. Have to give them credit, they never look all that impressive but they keep winning. This dude we are facing tonight is a very good pitcher. Hated to see us give Mizzou the extra run off the wild pitch.

[maroonmania]

We haven't hit a solid ball off this guy yet tonight.

[msstate7]

We better work counts bc I'm not sure we're gonna hit this guy... Get to the pen

[jbjones]

2 down pretty quickly. C'mon Mangum!

[War Machine Dawg]

Popout to short starts B3. Holland quick ground out. 2 away.

[maroonmania]

We better work counts bc I'm not sure we're gonna hit this guy... Get to the pen

Exactly, this guy is cruising right now.

[War Machine Dawg]

Mangum with an IF single.

[jbjones]

Just a machine...we have a base runner...Kruger up.

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, Kruger. We need baserunners. Make 'im work.

[MarketingBully]

How the hell is the ump giving him that batter box strike? Unreal.

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger with a backwards K to end the inning. 2-0 Bad Guys after 3. Houck under 40 pitches so far.

[Coach34]

Magnum may be the best leadoff hitter we have ever had. So impressive

Vandy up 5-0

[maroonmania]

Right now, I don't see us scoring 2 runs against this pitcher.

[msstate7]

aTm getting beat... Om winning... Of course mizzou's ace is gonna be his best

[MarketingBully]

Hopefully Sexton's ****ing around doesn't cost us this game.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Right now, I don't see us scoring 2 runs against this pitcher.

He's definitely in a groove. We've got to make sure we don't give them anymore runs. They are a bad hitting team. Walks and passed balls are the main things that will hurt us, as seen last inning. Offensively, we've got to be patient and wait on hittable pitches. This guy won't give us many. We can't swing at his first pitch and expect to get base hits.

[jbjones]

Missouri down in order; Robson runs the last out down deep...

[MarketingBully]

Offensively, we've got to be patient and wait on hittable pitches. This guy won't give us many. We can't swing at his first pitch and expect to get base hits.

Agreed. If we can get his pitch count up, he won't go too far into the seventh or so. I don't see them scoring any more runs if Sexton just throws strikes.

Yep, should be no worse than 1-0. Sexton gave them a 1 out walk after a single and then tacked on a wild pitch. Can't do that when you are facing a pitcher like Mizzou has going tonight.

[jbjones]

1 down, after Lowe's groundout.

Collins on 1st after a base hit.

3 hits for the Dagws thus far.

[maroonmania]

Agreed. If we can get his pitch count up, he won't go too far into the seventh or so. I don't see them scoring any more runs if Sexton just throws strikes.

We aren't even trying to extend counts right now. First pitch swinging most of the time. Collins just got a hit but it was on the first pitch.

[jbjones]

Robson walks.

Rooker up!

[maroonmania]

Need a big hit here to get back in the game.

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson draws a walk. Good AB. Would be a nice time for Rooker to go yard.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If he throws one mistake pitch the whole game, I wish he'd do it right here.

[maroonmania]

The outside strike the ump is giving to the Mizzou pitcher against right handed batters is not even hittable. He didn't give those strikes with Robson batting from the other side.

[jbjones]

If he throws one mistake pitch the whole game, I wish he'd do it right here.

No kidding. Sounded like that world-class slider damn near got away from the catcher on the 1-2.

[jbjones]

Damnation. Hard hit to 3rd. 2 down. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

Marerro up.

[War Machine Dawg]

The outside strike the ump is giving to the Mizzou pitcher against right handed batters is not even hittable. He didn't give those strikes with Robson batting from the other side.

Like it or not, once a pitcher gets a rep they get certain calls. Huddy gets them, too.

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, Elih. Need a hit, kid.

[maroonmania]

Well, Rooker tagged it pretty good but can't get it by the 3rd baseman.

[jbjones]

Lined to 3rd...very hard it sounds like. Missouri 2-0. Headed to T5.

[maroonmania]

Gosh, I thought was into LF when Marrero hit it. Getting a bad feeling about tonight's game.

[msstate7]

Funny thing is I don't think we would've made either of those plays at 3b

[War Machine Dawg]

You've gotta be kidding me. Marrero absolutely hammers one and the 3B makes a leaping grab to rob him of extra bases. Must be nice to have someone without a permanent E5 attached to his name at 3B.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

This guy is a hell of a pitcher. Watch where the catcher sets up and watch where he throws it. He hits his spot about every time. Those that are just off the plate are meant to be just off the plate. This guy knows how to pitch. He'd be 8-0 instead of 4-4 if he played for us.

[MarketingBully]

Elih has tagged it hard twice. I think we will get to them. Just have to hold them to two runs. I think we win this game if we hold them to two runs here. Our hitters are starting to make good contact with him.

[MarketingBully]

Gosh, I thought was into LF when Marrero hit it. Getting a bad feeling about tonight's game.

I'm not. He isn't going to go deep into this game. Another run through the top of the order will net us at least 3-4 runs. We are starting to tag him.

[maroonmania]

Funny thing is I don't think we would've made either of those plays at 3b

Yea, Missouri had a reputation of being bad in the field but so far their defense has been better than ours the first game and a half.

[MarketingBully]

This guy is a hell of a pitcher. Watch where the catcher sets up and watch where he throws it. He hits his spot about every time. Those that are just off the plate are meant to be just off the plate. This guy knows how to pitch. He'd be 8-0 instead of 4-4 if he played for us.

He missed all over the place last inning.

[MarketingBully]

1-2-3 goes Mizzou. 2-0 Mizzou bottom of the fifth.

[War Machine Dawg]

Sexton get 'em in order. Still 2-0 Tigers headed B5.

[msstate7]

Getting a bad feeling about tonight's game.

Ive had it all day. How often do you see a team go off offensively only to follow it up with nothing the next day? Then you have a pick time mlb arm on the mound, so I knew this would be tough.

If ours and OM's scores stay the same, we're in 3rd place in the west and om is the higher rpi team. OM's rpi is gonna stay high too bc of aTm series coming up. We need to get it going tonight bc om could be neck and neck with us for national seed with a loss

[maroonmania]

Gridley deserved that blooper after getting hosed on that first pitch by the ump.

[CadaverDawg]

Why are we bunting? Wtf

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

He missed all over the place last inning.

Read what I said. Those that were off the plate, in other words, were balls, were meant to be balls. Watch him this inning. The ball is going right where the mitt is.

[maroonmania]

Why are we bunting? Wtf

Because Holland sucks at the plate. Of course he can't even get a bunt down either.

[CadaverDawg]

Finally get the leadoff on & we **** it up while trying to play for 1 run in a 2-0 game. Stupid Cohen

[War Machine Dawg]

Playing for 1 in the damn 5th. Potential 1st round pick on the mound and we're giving him a free out. #TheMeddler gotta #meddle.

[maroonmania]

Dang, that 3B sits right on the line.

[I seen it dawg]

**** holland make a damn effort. Terrible.

[MarketingBully]

Holland is just garbage.

[maroonmania]

And Holland is a useless AB as usual.

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks John (Cohen and Holland)

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Why are we bunting? Wtf

He can't make contact swinging. Might as well set it up for one run at least.

edited to add....he can't make contact bunting either.

[BulldogBear]

Finally get the leadoff on & we **** it up while trying to play for 1 run in a 2-0 game. Stupid Cohen

Sigh. I was thinking the same thing.

[War Machine Dawg]

Dammit, Mangum with an easy fly out. Kruger up, 2 out.

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger first pitch swinging, grounds out to SS. 2-0 Tigers after 5.

[maroonmania]

Missouri is playing awesome in the field. Already have made 3 or 4 plays that we wouldn't have.

[MarketingBully]

We couldn't hit that UGA pitcher either but kept it close enough to win in the eighth. This guy isn't pitching a complete game. Wear his ass down and win against their bullpen.

[CadaverDawg]

We're gong to lose this game.

And it may just be because we're losing...but there's something about Cohen meddling, the dugout clowning, and a shitty team shutting us down, that is making me nauseous and taking me back to last year.

[CadaverDawg]

We couldn't hit that UGA pitcher either but kept it close enough to win in the eighth. This guy isn't pitching a complete game. Wear his ass down and win against their bullpen.

What makes you think he can't go the distance? I love the optimism, but nothing backs your theory

[TopDog58]

We're losing this one.

And it may just be because we're losing...but there's something about Cohen meddling, the dugout clowning, and a shitty team shutting us down, that is making me nauseous and taking me back to last year.

Y'all are a bunch of ******s

[MarketingBully]

Now we are losing it. We can't let them score more runs. Shit Sexton.

[msstate7]

We aren't winning this game

[CadaverDawg]

Y'all are a bunch of ******s

You don't come around game threads often, eh? A reverse jinx is my specialty...however, it looks as if I'm right. Mizzou threatening again.

[EdDawg]

Ballgame

[maroonmania]

Aside from the pitching, they have totally outplayed us defensively. They score 2 here and this one is going to be difficult to come back in.

[EdDawg]

Wtf?

[CadaverDawg]

Wtf are you doing, Elih?? We are imploding

[maroonmania]

What the heck is Marrero doing? We don't deserve to win playing stupid like that.

[DownwardDawg]

Wtf?

IDK

[EdDawg]

This is our Sunday game.

[MarketingBully]

What the **** was that? Marrero should be benched just on principal after that one.

[maroonmania]

Wtf are you doing, Elih?? We are imploding

And that's why we will likely never sweep anybody. We always sh*t the bed in one game every weekend. I mean how long in his life has Marrero been playing catcher and he doesn't make the throw down to first to record the out?????

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Elih is playing his way to the bench for the rest of the year.

[CadaverDawg]

It would be so Cohen for us to lose the series to these Schmucks at home & lose a National Seed

[HSVDawg]

Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket....get Marrero the **** out of there.

[maroonmania]

Good lord, should be 2 outs now. Thanks Elih.

[EdDawg]

We better go ahead and make sure we have a 4th starting pitcher. We won't win 3 straight games in a regional.

[War Machine Dawg]

We aren't sweeping anyone this season. This team just has no killer instinct when it comes to taking 3. They're happy to take 2.

[maroonmania]

Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket....get Marrero the **** out of there.

And this guy is the son of a pro catcher?? Inning should be over.

[CadaverDawg]

Big K. Come on, Austin...1 more

[maroonmania]

We better go ahead and make sure we have a 4th starting pitcher. We won't win 3 straight games in a regional.

Not with our defense.

[War Machine Dawg]

Wow. Houdini'd outta the jam! Still 2-0 Bad Guys headed B6. We need some runs.

[CadaverDawg]

We took that guy out with 2 strikes on the #9 batter last weekend.

Sexton has stones

[maroonmania]

Well at least we are still in the game. Austin Sexton showed a lot of guts getting out of that.

[EdDawg]

4 outs with runners on 3rd and 2nd. Huge break

[MarketingBully]

And three straight outs after the bases were loaded. Still 2-0 going to bottom of the sixth.

[HoopsDawg]

I'm fine with this lineup, but I don't like how the last 3-4 games we're seeing a lot more meddling with the lineup than we'd been seeing. It's as if when Robson returned, Cohen's lineup meddling returned with it. I was enjoying the semi-consistent lineups and continuity we were starting to see. Hope it's not a trend. I love Robby being back in, but batting 5th makes zero sense imo

There is no fcking way I would have changed our lineup after Game 1 where we put up 19 hits. No fcking way. And I'm sorry, but Kruger would be my catcher the rest of the year. Marrero will have his time next year.

[MarketingBully]

We need a big inning here so we get back to a boring positive thread!

[HoopsDawg]

Best lineup ever

The best lineup ever was last night.

[maroonmania]

The best lineup ever was last night.

Yep, and this pitcher is significantly better than the guy we saw last night.

[maroonmania]

Come on Robson, please take a pitch going out of the zone.

[msstate7]

Gotta break... Make em pay

[maroonmania]

And finally a miscue from the Mizzou defense.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Rooker is reading that breaking ball great. Hope he can lock in on one.

[maroonmania]

OK Elih, here is a chance to make amends.

[maroonmania]

We will take the charity.

[MarketingBully]

You were saying about the errors?

[HoopsDawg]

Thank you Howard.

[msstate7]

Marrero deserved some good luck there

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Take it however we can get it. Would be nice to tie it at least. Pitch count creeping up there.

[MarketingBully]

Got the run we needed and that pitcher isn't finishing the game.

[msstate7]

That was a heck of a pick and throw

[maroonmania]

Dang, Collins would not have made that play in a 100 tries. Tie game if it gets through but it doesn't. Only got the one run though due to the 2 errors.

[MarketingBully]

That was a heck of a pick and throw

He also made a crucial error too so it looks like feast or famine with that kid.

[jbjones]

In case you missed it, and by the looks of it you have, the Dawgs have scored, 2-1 tigers headed to the seventh.

[maroonmania]

Unfortunately now, Holland leads off the 7th.

[maroonmania]

Dang this ump is so inconsistent on the corners. Will give you a foot off the plate to a right handed hitter and nothing to you on the corner against a left handed hitter.

[MarketingBully]

He barely missed an extra base hit before striking out. I think this is his time to either get a hit reach on a walk or error.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Unfortunately now, Holland leads off the 7th.

I would tell him to take the first two pitches. If one's a ball, I'd tell him to take until he gets strike two. Best chance is a walk with him.

[MarketingBully]

Called it! :)

[maroonmania]

Holland is ON! What a stroke!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If he bunts Mangum, I will know he is officially an idiot.

[maroonmania]

Bang bang play. Fortunate to stay out of the DP.

[maroonmania]

Dang, we just can't get anything by someone down the line.

[HoopsDawg]

watched Denver Mcquarry play tonight. MSU signee. Kid is a stud. Hit two rockets and has a hose at SS. Houston looks like they are on their way to the 4A State title.

That a boy Lowe!!

[jbjones]

Tied on the Lowe double! 2-2.

[MarketingBully]

Tied ****ers!

[msstate7]

Atta boy, lowe

[maroonmania]

Huge hit by Lowe!

[RocketDawg]

They're trying to give us the game with errors.

[MarketingBully]

So, two runs off three of their errors. You guys were saying how great their defense was?

[MarketingBully]

Going to top of the eighth tied 2-2.

[msstate7]

So, two runs off three of their errors. You guys were saying how great their defense was?

They've made tough plays and booted routine ones

[MarketingBully]

Sexton gets a reprieve here. Let's see if he just throws strikes.

[maroonmania]

So, two runs off three of their errors. You guys were saying how great their defense was?

I was actually saying their reputation was a bad defense but they were excellent through the first 5 innings. They have given us 2 runs with shoddy defense though the last 2 innings.

[Percho]

Sexton is throwing more strikes than are being called.

[MarketingBully]

I was actually saying their reputation was a bad defense but they were excellent through the first 5 innings. They have given us 2 runs with shoddy defense though the last 2 innings.

That's why they play nine innings.

[msstate7]

1 more sexton

[maroonmania]

And North Mississippi wins again.

[msstate7]

Great defensive alignment, Cohen

[MarketingBully]

I'd like to get two runs here and get their 5,6, and 7 hitters in the ninth.

[RocketDawg]

Wonder if Mullen is keeping up his training. He sure looks a lot better since he lost all that weight. And he's obviously in better shape.

[War Machine Dawg]

Some serious #Cohening about to happen here. Let 'em hit, you #meddling bastard!

[maroonmania]

Dang any hit to the outfield gets Robson in. Why waste an out to get him to 3rd?

[I seen it dawg]

Great move by Cohen. Our best bunter and now defense is set

[RocketDawg]

Well, the bunt worked and worked better than planned. Another (uncalled) error on Missouri.

[maroonmania]

Of course that works too.

[War Machine Dawg]

Dang any hit to the outfield gets Robson in. Why waste an out to get him to 3rd?

No shit. And Cohen catches a ****ing break because Mizzou is self-destructing. He tried his damnedest to give them an out.

[RocketDawg]

Missouri's infield is really screwing their great pitcher.

[maroonmania]

Can Humphreys pitch this weekend?

[msstate7]

Mizzou's great pitcher has to be wondering why the heck he went to mizzou

[War Machine Dawg]

Do you dare squeeze here? I'd think about considering it's Robson at 3B.

[HoopsDawg]

The meddler working magic.

[RocketDawg]

Mizzou's great pitcher has to be wondering why the heck he went to mizzou

I certainly would be if I were him.

[K9 Avenger]

EVERY coach/manager in America bunts in that situation....some of u guys need to take a drink

[War Machine Dawg]

Marrero battling here.

[War Machine Dawg]

Helluva AB by Marrero there. Bases juiced!

[sleepy dawg]

Excellent at bat...

[War Machine Dawg]

Gridley does his job! 3-2 Dawgs lead!!!

[RocketDawg]

3-2 Dogs on a sac fly to left.

[maroonmania]

Nice lick Grid.

[Dawg496]

Damn great AB by marrero

[msstate7]

We aren't winning this game

Idiot

[War Machine Dawg]

Looks like that's all for Houck. We're in their bullpen! 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, Holland due up.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Idiot

haha. We all thought it. You had the guts to say it!

[maroonmania]

This is where its a killer to have no other 2nd basemen. We have to let Holland bat here.

[MarketingBully]

If Holland gets a basehit here, we could really get some insurance.

[War Machine Dawg]

This is where its a killer to have no other 2nd basemen. We have to let Holland bat here.

Was just thinking that. We desperately need Belmont to get healthy....not that he's hitting much better.

[War Machine Dawg]

Holland with a sac fly. 4-2 Dawgs

[MarketingBully]

That's the insurance we need. 4-2 good guys.

[msstate7]

Great job, holland

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I'll say this....if we had that pitcher, we'd be #1 in the nation. And would have won most, if not all, of those series that we only took 2.

[RocketDawg]

4-2, another sac fly to left by Holland.

[maroonmania]

Good job by Holland in that situation.

[CadaverDawg]

WoooooooHooooooooo

Big big comeback

Reverse jinx lives on!!!

[AlmostPositive]

Johnny Balsamo!

[RocketDawg]

Going to the top of the 9th with a two run lead.

[MarketingBully]

Good hitting and coach calls that inning.

[Percho]

Idiot

Talking to yourself again?

[msstate7]

I'll say this....if we had that pitcher, we'd be #1 in the nation. And would have won most, if not all, of those series that we only took 2.

Sexton as a Sunday guy would put us right there with Florida for best rotation in country

[MarketingBully]

So would you try to let Sexton pitch a CG or put in Humphreys?

[Percho]

I'll say this....if we had that pitcher, we'd be #1 in the nation. And would have won most, if not all, of those series that we only took 2.

Amen to that.

[msstate7]

Talking to yourself again?

No one else will listen

[CadaverDawg]

The meddler working magic.

Indeed. Good meddling that inning. Great move with Cody. Nice work, Couhnz

[MarketingBully]

I'll say this....if we had that pitcher, we'd be #1 in the nation. And would have won most, if not all, of those series that we only took 2.

Agreed.

[maroonmania]

Just what you CAN'T do!

[War Machine Dawg]

Sexton going for the CG. HBP on his first pitch. Looks like we're about to get DB or Hump.

[MarketingBully]

Humphreys it is. :)

[RocketDawg]

Sexton hits the leadoff batter, so he's gone. Not sure who's coming in.

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump coming in to pitch. #PleaseKeepItInTheYard

[MarketingBully]

Just what you CAN'T do!

It's a two run lead and we hit their catcher. He is not a + base runner.

[maroonmania]

We seem to have SO much trouble throwing strikes late in games.

[War Machine Dawg]

8+ for Sexton, runner on 1st is his. C'mon Hump, finish this thing off.

[confucius say]

who is rooting against Hump? He is batting .500 vs LHP's- but RHP's are abusing him. He leads the team with 38 K's...Rooker has 32...and the next one is Kruger at 25....RHP's own his ass. He is a .220 hitter vs RHP's

Even Cohen is sitting him tonight- I mean damn- can it be more obvious????

He also leads us in doubles and close in RBI. Plus he is pitching tonight. Nobody denies he hits lefties better, but just admit you were wrong that he would hit .270

[maroonmania]

Those were strikes!!!!

[msstate7]

Please tell me we have rigby in pen warming up

[Dawg496]

Does it look like to anyone that Hump is hobbling around on the mound?

[RocketDawg]

Important out there.

[War Machine Dawg]

Please tell me we have rigby in pen warming up

Hell with Rigby, go with DB if it comes to that.

[Bucky Dog]

He also leads us in doubles and close in RBI. Plus he is pitching tonight. Nobody denies he hits lefties better, but just admit you were wrong that he would hit .270

He meant against RHP!!! Big Papi also leads the Redsox in K's every year and hits RHP better than LHP by 40-50 points. Just sayin!

[msstate7]

Hell with Rigby, go with DB if it comes to that.

Runners on... I want the groundball guy

[Bucky Dog]

Reid has this. Girodo up!

[Dawg496]

Guys if we squint really hard and cherry pick scenarios, it's obvious that Humphries sucks.*********

[msstate7]

Reid has this. Girodo up!

That's what I really want

[War Machine Dawg]

I'd kill for a ground ball DP.

[War Machine Dawg]

Shit! Mizzou gets a pinch hit, 4-3 Dawgs, tying run at 3B, 1 out.

[RocketDawg]

I'd kill for a ground ball DP.

Well, you got one but it got by Lowe and a run scores.

[maroonmania]

The hit batter will haunt us.

[Bucky Dog]

Damnit Lowe you've got to knock that ball down!! 7 hop single through the right side.

[War Machine Dawg]

Well, you got one but it got by Lowe and a run scores.

Our infield has the range of a stiff corpse.

[War Machine Dawg]

Close the book on Sexton, btw. 8+, 3 earned.

[msstate7]

Hump finally throwing something besides fastball

[HSVDawg]

Lowe ain't quite there as a defensive first baseman. Thats one thing we definitely miss from Rea.

[War Machine Dawg]

Big K from Hump! 2 away.

[msstate7]

1 more hump

[engie]

They aren't missing anything Hump throwing here. Nervous.

[War Machine Dawg]

Looks like Hump is done. DB for a L/L matchup. #Cohening

I actually like this move. They're hitting Hump. DB is a real pitcher, not a project.

[engie]

Great time for a swing and miss!

THESE TYPES OF GAMES AGE A PERSON

[maroonmania]

Yep, Hump was not exactly looking great so I'm OK with the move.

[Bucky Dog]

Our infield has the range of a stiff corpse.

Yeah our corners don't move well.

[engie]

Hump didn't have the life on his fastball tonight. Good move here IMO... Assuming Brown from last outing shows up and not the head case...

[msstate7]

What?! No Tatum?


I kid I kid

[War Machine Dawg]

THESE TYPES OF GAMES AGE A PERSON

No kidding. My heart is in my damn throat.
