Arkansas Game 2 Thread

[Brando]

Well, I made it early yesterday and we kicked ass. Lets do it again today. Also, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who offered their prayers and concerns to my family and I. #HAILSTATE and as always, #NMstillsux

[msstate7]

Wanna see some better swings from rooker and hump tonight

[SaintDawg]

Would a CGSO from Sexton be too much to ask?

[Dawg496]

Would a CGSO from Sexton be too much to ask?

I've been thinking he was gonna throw a no-no this year.. maybe today.

[mstatefan91]

I'll be there again today.

Hope tomorrow will be for the title.

This team is so good. Mangum, Lowe, Humphreys, Rooker, Collins, Kruger, and Robson are all hitting so well. Then you add Hudson, Sexton, and now Pilkington in the rotation. Just crazy how much talent this team has.

[Brando]

I believe Sexton gonna deal tonight. Arkansas looked like rhey were just going through the motions and didnt give 2 shits about being there.
Cadaver, I picked up a fresh 12 pack and its on ice just for bud. I feel like getting tore up tonite any damn way... where the hell is my gas mask.....

We're really good. I just hope we don't get into many bullpen games in the postseason. If we have a weakness, that's it

[smootness]

We're really good. I just hope we don't get into many bullpen games in the postseason. If we have a weakness, that's it

Definitely, but I do think our bullpen is at least decent. Rigby has been really good, Houston has walked a lot but has still been really good, Blake Smith has been very good, especially of late. Same with Daniel Brown. And I'm fairly comfortable with Cyr, Billingsley, Breaux, and James as well. Not the strength of our team, obviously, but I don't think it's a big liability, either.

Our bullpen is our weakness but there isn't a handful of teams we have played that have better bullpens. Of course not many people have starters better either and having Hudson and Sexton helps limit how much we have to pitch out of our bullpen.

[Brando]

We're really good. I just hope we don't get into many bullpen games in the postseason. If we have a weakness, that's it

I think our bullpen is actually pretty good. It just seems sometimes they are either Really On, or cant throw a strike like the Bama game. There have been games where they habe shut people down. It just seems like if one is on, they are all on. if one cant throw strikes, none of them throw strikes.

[AlmostPositive]

Over / under for the number of errors ARK commits: I'm going to say 4, one
less than last night, and 4 more than the numbers of runs I expect from them..

[Brando]

Thats what Imbtalking about Cadaver!!!!

[AlmostPositive]

Anyone think the Cheaters are going to help us out tonight? #NotAllThatConfident

[Brando]

Anyone think the Cheaters are going to help us out tonight? #NotAllThatConfident

Nope. They are gonna get that ass handed to them. Hell I wouldnt be surprised if they lost on purpose just so wouldnt win the West outright.

[MarketingBully]

I think the two best teams in the league in my opinion are A&M and us. When you look at Florida's lineup, it doesn't really put any fear into you. Sure, they have great pitching and Shore is money but you can shut their hitting down.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Hello boys. Did anyone see Jace in the LSU dugout??

[CadaverDawg]

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Had on his camo pants and LSU shirt. Couple of guys standing next to him laughing. I'm sure he was shooting the shat.

[AlmostPositive]

This is the part where ARK starts losing

[MarketingBully]

1-2-3 go the Hogs in the first. State coming to bat.

[JohnnyQuid]

nice start for sexton

[RocketDawg]

Nice start for Sexton. Hope it doesn't get cold there ... the boy got his money's worth on his barber visit today. :)

[Dolphus Raymond]

If the roles were reversed, and Ole Miss needed us to win one or two for them to win the SEC, I would be hoping we got swept. I know my logic is twisted, but that's just me. Hell, I can't honestly say that I am pulling for Ole Miss to beat A&M so we can win the SEC. Sure, I may say it but, in the back of my mind, I guess I'm hoping they get swept and don't get to host a regional. Talk about cutting off my nose to spite my face.

[BulldogBear]

So, are LSU and UF gonna try to play two 7s tomorrow?

[War Machine Dawg]

Anyone else having problems with WatchESPN? My stream keeps freezing and jumping. Poor quality, too. Could be a shitty internet connection on my end, although it was just fine last night.

[AlmostPositive]

Rebelz up 2-0

[IMissJack]

Rebs up 3-0

[MarketingBully]

Nothing doing for State 0-0 going to the top of the second.

[AlmostPositive]

Rebelz up 3-0 assholes are going to hep us!


still top of the first, no outs,

Plenty of time for them to fold

They'll host even if they get swept.

[RocketDawg]

Anyone else having problems with WatchESPN? My stream keeps freezing and jumping. Poor quality, too. Could be a shitty internet connection on my end, although it was just fine last night.

Yes, I am. It's frozen now for the third or fourth time since 6:30. One time when it finally came back on it had the resolution of an old VHS tape, but that cleared up. Don't know if it's my ISP or ESPN that's having the problem.

Edit: I just went back to the Home screen and reloaded WatchESPN. The game loaded OK but I have the crappy resolution and no audio at all. I think it must be an ESPN problem.

[MarketingBully]

Sexton! Ugh....

[JohnnyQuid]

Well mother****er

[MarketingBully]

Second and third no one out on a Sexton error....

[msstate7]

Wasn't a bunt, but it turned out like one. If I were playing us, I'd bunt a lot... Our pitchers are poor fielders of bunts

[IMissJack]

LSU not helping yet. Down 1-0 FL has bases loaded in 3rd.

[War Machine Dawg]

E1 puts runners on 2nd and 3rd, 0 out in the second. Need Sexton to work some magic here.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

LSU-Fla 2 - 7's tomorrow. Not sure why they didn't play 2 - 9's today.

[MarketingBully]

He was up 0-2 on that asshat before. Why even throw a ball in the strike zone?

[MarketingBully]

Great Arkansas up 1-0 with runner on third with one out. This is what Sexton does. 8-9 runs will be what it takes to win the game.

[RocketDawg]

Crap ... they scored while my game feed was down. Sexton needs to tighten up a little.

[JohnnyQuid]

heck of a play by collins

[BulldogBear]

Not having trouble with espn app here. Sounds like connection. Mine does that a lot in a place I know where the internet is less than superb, but no problem here at house.

[RocketDawg]

LSU-Fla 2 - 7's tomorrow. Not sure why they didn't play 2 - 9's today.

Thought they were going to continue last night's game where it left off. They're starting over?

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Wow...really fortunate to only give up 1 run that inning.

[MarketingBully]

Nice, great play by Sexton to get out of the inning. 1-0 Craperbacks going to bottom of the second.

[BulldogBear]

LSU-Fla 2 - 7's tomorrow. Not sure why they didn't play 2 - 9's today.

Maybe TV schedule? Since it's Friday... IDK

[RocketDawg]

Well, we got a bit lucky on that play at home. Only down 1-0 at the moment. Hopefully the bats will wake up this inning.

[JohnnyQuid]

Well that was big. sexton did a good job blocking the plate guy never touched it

[smootness]

Great Arkansas up 1-0 with runner on third with one out. This is what Sexton does. 8-9 runs will be what it takes to win the game.

Good grief.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Thought they were going to continue last night's game where it left off. They're starting over?

Now that you mention it, I"m not sure. Was told this today from someone who usually knows. I would think they would pick up where they left off, but then do they play that one in 7 or 9? Maybe both will be 7, but they start first one where they left off. I don't know.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Wow! Puk just went out of the game for Florida. Back issues again. That may impact them down the road. Definitely this weekend.

Now saying stomach issues. Fla having to go to their pen early.

[MarketingBully]

1-2-3 go the Dogs. 1-0 Hogs going to top of the 3rd.

[BulldogBear]

Gators' starter done in B3. LSU runners on corners, no outs, trailing 1-0

[RocketDawg]

I suppose it doesn't really matter because it was scoreless through 2 when the game was called last night I think. I guess starting over would give them some more substitution options if needed.

[msstate7]

Wow! Puk just went out of the game for Florida. Back issues again. That may impact them down the road. Definitely this weekend.

I bet his dad or uhhh... Agent has told him to not throw a pitch if he gets so much as a headache.

[BulldogBear]

Gators' starter done in B3. LSU runners on corners, no outs, trailing 1-0

LSU base hit up middle ties it 1-1. Still no outs with runners on corners.

Ima start another thread for UMISS game and LSU game uodates

[RocketDawg]

Gators' starter done in B3. LSU runners on corners, no outs, trailing 1-0

Hate to hear that the guy's injured, but Florida losing won't help us much unless we turn things around in this game. I know it's early in the game, but they don't look great so far.

[MarketingBully]

Four pitch walk by Sexton lead off man on.

[AlmostPositive]

LSU ties it...

Looks like Puk must have gotten hurt...he's out... That is outstanding for us.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I bet his dad or uhhh... Agent has told him to not throw a pitch if he gets so much as a headache.

Saying it's stomach issues. Got ahold of some bad boudin.

[RocketDawg]

Nice play by Collins!

[MarketingBully]

Thank God Sexton didn't try to field the bunt. Successful sacrifice by Arkansas man on second one out.

[RocketDawg]

Sexton is a little wild tonight. Who comes in for him when needed?

[MarketingBully]

Pop up now two outs.

[msstate7]

Saying it's stomach issues. Got ahold of some bad boudin.

Good. Dude is a top 3-5 pick. Don't wanna see him get hurt

[MarketingBully]

Great job by Sexton with the K. Going to bottom of the third. Ark up 1-0. Come on bats wake the F up!

[smootness]

I realize this is a big game and we really want to win, but can we chill for a sec?

[msstate7]

I realize this is a big game and we really want to win, but can we chill for a sec?

No. If you aren't freaking out, you don't care enough**

I'm chill myself... Listening to state and watching wisler and the braves

[msstate7]

I'm no expert, but I think this mangum kid is good

[RocketDawg]

I'm really having trouble watching the game with WatchESPN dropping out every 30 seconds.

This is a good reason not to "pull the plug" and go with streaming television as your primary.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Here comes A&M. Bases loaded, 1 out.

[msstate7]

I must be way ahead of you guys

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Damn Rebels. Shot to 3rd and they gun down runner at the plate. Next guy hits a routine grounder to 2nd and the guy boots it. 3-1

[RocketDawg]

On TV, we have bases loaded, 1 out, and the Arkansas pitching coach is at the mound. It's 7:29:18

[RocketDawg]

Tied game on a long sac fly by Lowe.

[MarketingBully]

Great job with the Sac Fly tied up at 1-1.

[msstate7]

On TV, we have bases loaded, 1 out, and the Arkansas pitching coach is at the mound. It's 7:29:18

Yeah, I'm a good bit ahead of you

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

And just like that, they're tied 3-3.

[BiscuitEater]

I must be way ahead of you guys


Me too

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, I'm a good bit ahead of you

If we score again, let us know. This is too tense. :)

[RocketDawg]

Now my TV game feed is gone again! For about the tenth time.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

And just like that it's 6-3 Aggies. You can't depend on those damn Rebels for anything.

[msstate7]

Why is there such a delay on watchespn?

[RocketDawg]

Why is there such a delay on watchespn?

Dunno. Maybe to eliminate "cussing"? :) It's been like that all season though. Seems like it's between 1 and 2 minutes.

[War Machine Dawg]

Why is there such a delay on watchespn?

Must be having problems on their end.

[RocketDawg]

Is Robson a switch hitter?

[MarketingBully]

Nice! 3-1 State on throwing error! :)

[RocketDawg]

Fantastic error by the Hogs! Let us score 2 runs.

[MarketingBully]

A base hit here could open things up. Second and third for Humphreys.

[MarketingBully]

Intentional walk to load up bases for Marrero.

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson forces an error, Dawgs score 2. 3-1 Good Guys lead!

[RocketDawg]

Intentional pass to Hump. Load the bases with 2 outs.

[BiscuitEater]

Bases juiced .. Eli up.

[War Machine Dawg]

Marrero grounds out to 2B. 3-1 Dawgs after 3.

[MarketingBully]

Dogs strike for three up 3-1 going to top of the fourth. I'd say their pitcher is reaching his maximum pitch count. At 61 now and never been above 63.

[BulldogBear]

Must be having problems on their end.

Nah, it's always way behind. Had to watch a lot of the softball games on it. When I was at the SECT and there was an interesting or controversial play, I could get out my phone, sign on and watch the "replay" live.

[maroonmania]

Marrero is no better than Holland at the plate right now. We should be batting Gridley 7th, not Elih.

[PMDawg]

LSU/FL still 1-1. Going to B5

[MarketingBully]

I'd like to see Sexton settle down and just throw strikes. If he does that, three runs IMO would be enough.

[smootness]

I'd like to see Sexton settle down and just throw strikes. If he does that, three runs IMO would be enough.

Sexton is a good pitcher. He's not a shut-down ace. But you seem to be harder on him than anybody else for some reason.

[Brahmabull]

Someone give me a score. At daughters graduation.

[smootness]

Someone give me a score. At daughters graduation.

3-1 State, top of the 4th, 2 outs.

[MarketingBully]

Nice Sexton pitching better, 2 K's that inning. 3-1 State going to bottom of the fourth.

[DanDority]

Who's doing color on the SECn*? I've heard Bart call him Jay.

[MarketingBully]

Who's doing color on the SECn*? I've heard Bart call him Jay.

Not sure who he is but he is 10x better then Matt. He does our color when Matt doesn't.

[maroonmania]

As I said, I wish Gridley had been batting in Marrero's spot in the batting order last inning.

[msstate7]

Lsu up 2-1

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Reb's get 1 back; 6-4 going to B4

[MarketingBully]

Gridley with the lead off double and the hook for Campbell. Pitching change coming up.

[Dawg496]

2-1 lsu

[miketice]

If the roles were reversed, and Ole Miss needed us to win one or two for them to win the SEC, I would be hoping we got swept. I know my logic is twisted, but that's just me. Hell, I can't honestly say that I am pulling for Ole Miss to beat A&M so we can win the SEC. Sure, I may say it but, in the back of my mind, I guess I'm hoping they get swept and don't get to host a regional. Talk about cutting off my nose to spite my face.

I can appreciate that.

[DanDority]

Not sure who he is but he is 10x better then Matt. He does our color when Matt doesn't.

I totally agree! Thanks

[Dawg496]

Still praying for a rain out in college station instead

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

And just like that, it's 7-4 again.

[maroonmania]

Not a fan of that bunt.

[msstate7]

aTm up 7-4... No help from rebs

[smootness]

The heck was that? Yikes.

Magnum seems to have more trouble hitting right-handed. That was a pretty terrible AB.

[MarketingBully]

Stupid base running and a double play ends the inning with no scoring. 3-1 State to the top of the fifth.

[maroonmania]

Trying WAY too hard to manufacture a run right there. Only way Gridley scores is if Arkansas makes a bad throw.

[smootness]

3-1 State after 4.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

A&M just bunted in bottom of 4th. It happens.

[War Machine Dawg]

Mangum K, thrown out at 1B, Gridley thrown out at the plate trying to score. 3-1 Dawgs after 4.

[MarketingBully]

As long as LSU beats UF once and we sweep and A&M sweeps, I am okay sharing a title with A&M.

[maroonmania]

Stupid base running and a double play ends the inning with no scoring. 3-1 State to the top of the fifth.

Terrible at bat by Mangum as well. Swung at 2 balls that hit the dirt 5 feet in front of the plate.

[msstate7]

The heck was that? Yikes.

Magnum seems to have more trouble hitting right-handed. That was a pretty terrible AB.

Id like to see mangum's avg with runners on vs no runners on. Going off memory, it seems mangum is a whole lot better without runners on. Could press too much with runners on

[RocketDawg]

Trying WAY too hard to manufacture a run right there. Only way Gridley scores is if Arkansas makes a bad throw.

Fairly high probability of a bad throw under pressure, given what we've seen last night and tonight. Nevertheless, poor base running. We've been guilty of that several times this year.

[DanDority]

Mangum K, thrown out at 1B, Gridley thrown out at the plate trying to score. 3-1 Dawgs after 4.

And Mingione showing he is still coaching base running

[maroonmania]

Fairly high probability of a bad throw under pressure, given what we've seen last night and tonight. Nevertheless, poor base running. We've been guilty of that several times this year.

Its a staple of Cohen baseball. Do something REALLY stupid on the basepaths and see if the other team will just crap the bed to not throw you out. Rarely happens though.

[smootness]

Gonna have to score 8 or 9 to win this one**

3-1 State headed to B5.

[War Machine Dawg]

Sexton just wastes too many pitches after getting ahead. He runs his pitch count up unnecessarily.

[MarketingBully]

1-2-3 go the Hogs in the fifth. 3-1 MSU to the bottom of the fifth.

[MarketingBully]

Gonna have to score 8 or 9 to win this one**

3-1 State headed to B5.

He didn't look good early but has settled down and we had a great three run spot to help. I corrected my position earlier in the thread once I saw he settled down. Early he didn't have his best stuff at all.

[Dawg496]

Lsu 3-2

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

How do you "reply with quote" on a post several back without your response being buried way back? Is that possible?

[HoopsDawg]

Marrero is no better than Holland at the plate right now. We should be batting Gridley 7th, not Elih.

Are we really going to play Marrero over Rooker in a super?

[Dawg496]

4-2 lsu

[maroonmania]

Our offense looking pretty anemic tonight. Thank goodness for the big Arkansas error are we would be sitting 1-1.

[DancingRabbit]

How do you "reply with quote" on a post several back without your response being buried way back? Is that possible?

Your post will still appear at the end of the thread, at the time it's posted.

[MarketingBully]

1-2-3 goes State, still up 3-1 going to top of the sixth.

[msstate7]

Are we really going to play Marrero over Rooker in a super?

If he and sexton work well together, I would. How well sexton pitches game 2 is pretty important

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Your post will still appear at the end of the thread, at the time it's posted.

Testing 1,2,3

[maroonmania]

Are we really going to play Marrero over Rooker in a super?

Apparently we are not wanting to overdo Kruger at the catcher spot. And if you DH Kruger then Marrero has to go behind the dish.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Testing 1,2,3

But mine never does....

[Brando]

LSU up 4-2.

[msstate7]

aTm 8-5... Om has runners 1st and 2nd, no outs

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

aTm 8-5... Om has runners 1st and 2nd, no outs

HR leader at the plate!! And he promptly K's

[RocketDawg]

But mine never does....

Assuming you're on a computer, go down to the lower left corner on the pulldown and set it to "Default Style". See if that works.

[DancingRabbit]

But mine never does....

Must be your viewing settings.

[MarketingBully]

Sexton doing work. Dogs still up 3-1 going to bottom of the sixth.

[HoopsDawg]

Apparently we are not wanting to overdo Kruger at the catcher spot. And if you DH Kruger then Marrero has to go behind the dish.

I think he can handle it in the postseason. It forces us to put Robson in 5 hole which I don't like either.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

If we, LSU, A&M and So. Carolina hang on to win.....Fla will be in 4th place after tonight.

[MarketingBully]

Two strikeouts and our guys have not swung the bat. Come on Robson and Humphreys! Terrible at bats!

[maroonmania]

I hope 3 runs is enough. Not getting the feeling we are going to score anything else tonight. This pitcher is mowing us down.

[MarketingBully]

Shit inning by our hitters, 1-2-3 going to top of the seventh MSU 3-1.

[MarketingBully]

I hope 3 runs is enough. Not getting the feeling we are going to score anything else tonight. This pitcher is mowing us down.

He isn't mowing us down. We aren't even swinging the freaking bat!

[MarketingBully]

That pitcher is hitable we just aren't swinging at pitches at all.

[MarketingBully]

Shift bites us in the ass that time. Two out base hit.

[MarketingBully]

Nice Austin strikes out the batter for the third out. 3-1 State going to bottom of the seventh.

[msstate7]

If lsu loses this series, do we have to worry about them as a 2-seed in usm regional?

[MarketingBully]

See very hittable. Gridley lead off double.

[MarketingBully]

Gridley at third with one out after sacrifice by Holland.

[MarketingBully]

They are intentionally walking Mangum.

[MarketingBully]

Two on with one out now with Kruger up.

[Brando]

If lsu loses this series, do we have to worry about them as a 2-seed in usm regional?

I think they are pretty much a lock to host their owm regional. I would think that is...

[RocketDawg]

They are intentionally walking Mangum.

To get to Kruger. That shows the respect they have for Mangum.

[Brando]

Damn this ump has a heck of a zone behind the plate... It been likenthis the whole game? I have been woth family and just caught the last couple innings.

[MarketingBully]

Shit double play to get out of the inning for the asshole hogs. State still up 3-1 going to top of the eighth.

[maroonmania]

I really wish we would have tried a safety squeeze there if we were going to give up an out anyway to bunt the guy to third. At least that would avoid the double play.

[MarketingBully]

Damn this ump has a heck of a zone behind the plate... It been likenthis the whole game? I have been woth family and just caught the last couple innings.

Yep, the strike zone has been like that the whole game. Definitely a pitcher's zone.

[Percho]

Damn this ump has a heck of a zone behind the plate... It been likenthis the whole game? I have been woth family and just caught the last couple innings.

Yes real low zone all game.

[MarketingBully]

Humphreys in to close it out.

[Brando]

Yes real low zone all game.

Good lord... The only thing you can do with those pitches is beat them in the ground, if you even touch it.

[Brando]

LSU got 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Come on #Possum!!!

[RocketDawg]

What a catch by Mangum!

[Brando]

WOW!!! WHAT A CATCH BY MANGUM!!!

[maroonmania]

Best play by an MSU outfielder I've seen in a long, long time.

[MarketingBully]

Mangum is a bad ass! That is all....

[RocketDawg]

Hard to keep up with the game with the WatchESPN feed going so often. When did Humphries come in to pitch?

[Brando]

Hard to keep up with the game with the WatchESPN feed going so often. When did Humphries come in to pitch?

Start the 8th.

[Brando]

Hump k's 2 in the 8th. DAWGS UP 3-1 going bottom 8.

[MarketingBully]

2Ks for Humphreys and one heck of a freaking play by Mangum and the Hogs go 1-2-3. Going to bottom of the eighth 3-1 State!

[smootness]

Mangum is unreal. We better enjoy him because it's probably going to be a long time before we have another freshman this good.

[RocketDawg]

Mangum will be a rich man in a couple of years.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

A&M just hit one over the border. Now up 10-5

[smootness]

A&M just hit one over the border. Now up 10-5

Oh well. One more inning and we basically clinch a top 5 national seed. That's all I really care about.

[mparkerfd20]

A&M just hit one over the border. Now up 10-5

Oh well. Even with a tie 2016 SEC Champs will look nice on the fence if LSU can beat UF.

[Brando]

LSU now up 5-4 in bottom 8th with 2nd and 3rd w/ 2 outs.

[Brando]

Oh well. Even with a tie 2016 SEC Champs will look nice on the fence if LSU can beat UF.

Ill take it everyday of the wk!!

[mparkerfd20]

LSU up 5-4 in bottom of 8. Still batting

[Brando]

LSU up 5-4 going into top 9th.

Ill take it everyday of the wk!!

Yeah, but I'd rather win it outright. Several years ago, we gave Arkansas a tough time on the boards for claiming a co-champ for the West when we beat them head-to-head (in football). I suppose that was the year we went to Atlanta and lost to Tennessee.

[MarketingBully]

Oh well. One more inning and we basically clinch a top 5 national seed. That's all I really care about.

This is what we want. All I want is an SEC overall championship. If we tie for it, so be it.

[War Machine Dawg]

Bases loaded for Hump, 0 out, Arky pitching change. 3-1 Dawgs

Oh believe me, I would much rather win it outright also. But I will still be more than happy to see that 2016 SEC Champ sign go up.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

1 down in T9 in TigerTown.

In football that is different because it is a division championship on who gets to go to Atlanta. This is baseball for an overall championship.

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm assuming we've lost the DH with Hump batting here. Damn!

[War Machine Dawg]

Exactly. There's a clear-cut "champion" in football because someone goes to Atlanta. Not so in baseball.

[Brando]

2 down in Possum town!!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

2 down in T9 in TigerTown.

[Brando]

Oh yea and Hump 17in stikes out w bases loaded....

[Brando]

Who else os watching the LSU game more than ours? Haha

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump Ks. 1 away.

[GreenheadDawg]

That's ****ing pathetic

[War Machine Dawg]

Marrero with a backwards K on 3 pitches. Bat never left his damn shoulder. Swing the ****ing stick!

[Brando]

DOWN GOES FLORIDA!!!!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

3 down in T9 in TigerTown.

[RocketDawg]

So did Marrero. Some of those called strikes were way inside.

[Brando]

We are offically in 1st place in the overall SEC... with A&M.

[maroonmania]

Marrero is horrible at the plate. Never even swings the bat in a key spot.

[MarketingBully]

Man our hitting has sucked ass this game and not swung the bat at all.

[RocketDawg]

Firstname Lastname at the plate, according to SECN.

[Brando]

Wow, what the crap was he doing?

[MarketingBully]

Put it in play and Arkansas will boot it. 5-1 State!

[RocketDawg]

Good lord at the errors by Arkansas! Terrible throw by the SS.

[GreenheadDawg]

Good thing we are playing an incompetent team. They better get their heads out of their asses

[MarketingBully]

Going to the top of the ninth with State up 5-1.

[Brando]

Good thing we are playing an incompetent team. They better get their heads out of their asses

I agree.

[RocketDawg]

Let's hope this is the worst game we play this weekend.

[Percho]

So did Marrero. Some of those called strikes were way inside.

He knew where the ump likes them. That is on Eli.

[RocketDawg]

He knew where the ump likes them. That is on Eli.

Yeah, that's right. He's been pretty consistent with the oversized plate. Must be about a foot wider in his mind.

[War Machine Dawg]

He knew where the ump likes them. That is on Eli.

Yup. No excuse for a catcher to strike out looking this late in the game. He knows what the zone is better than anyone.

[RocketDawg]

Almost a double play ... wide throw.

[Brando]

Damn Gridley. Cant be given anyone extra chances...

[War Machine Dawg]

Dammit, Gridley botches the game ending DP. Still got the lead runner. 2 away.

[Brando]

And of course my feed stops...

[BulldogBear]

Woooooooo

HAIL STATE!

[BulldogBear]

And of course my feed stops...
Backwards K for the win!

[RocketDawg]

Dammit, Gridley botches the game ending DP. Still got the lead runner. 2 away.

Didn't matter. Game over with a SO ... and another series in the books. Going for the sweep tomorrow and I'm going to have to record it and watch it later. Gotta go to a wedding at 5:30 .... Can't get out of it.

[MarketingBully]

Ball game on an inside pitch K! Dogs win 5-1! One more game to win to get at least a share of the title! Awesome!

[msstate7]

1 win away from sec champs

[Percho]

Yeah, that's right. He's been pretty consistent with the oversized plate. Must be about a foot wider in his mind.

/And everybody is Stoval's size.

[RocketDawg]

And of course my feed stops...

Mine stopped just as Kruger hit the ball in the 8th. After it came back apparently it was turned for the DP. I've never seen it go off as much as it has tonight. Turned over to Alabama/SC to see if it holds together any better. SC is ahead 4-2 in the top of the 9th.

[smootness]

Good thing we are playing an incompetent team. They better get their heads out of their asses

You guys are hilarious.

[Bothrops]

Tied 20-9 with A&M. I think OM gets swept now.

[engie]

Fahr coinz

[RocketDawg]

Tied 20-9 with A&M. I think OM gets swept now.

Yeah, I think so too. The Bears are playing basically for nothing now (might host a regional) after losing the first two. They won't be inspired and may even throw the game tomorrow on purpose to keep us from winning outright.

[msstate7]

Fahr coinz

I'm on the fence about it right now. If he wins tomorrow, we should probably give him 1 more year

[smootness]

This is kind of crazy.

[Offshore Dawg]

Are you for real or are these *** missing. Just curious !!

[engie]

Yeah -- they are just playing to host. Will probably lose on purpose.

[msstate7]

Are you for real or are these *** missing. Just curious !!

20 wins so far in the sec is ok, but we still lost 9. 9!!!... That's a lot of losses dude. Double digit losses in the sec is unacceptable!














Yeah, I'm playing dude

[drunkernhelldawg]

Actually playing for a regular season championship tomorrow. May have to share it but still huge. 40th win too, if we get it.

[MarketingBully]

I love this. We will also be playing at 6:30 tomorrow evening which means we will know what we have to do as far as winning for an outright title or shared title. I'd love it if LSU splits with UF tomorrow, Alabama salvages game three against USC and Ole Miss wins against A&M. If that happens, it's an outright title. :). That would be awesome!
