Arkansas Game 3 Thread

[defiantdog]

Short has thrown 2 strikes all inning it seems

[Brando]

At this rate he's going to walk everybody. Pitching scared. Need a K or DP here.

He done got rattled. Cant throw a strike now...

[RocketDawg]

Looks like he may walk in the tying and maybe winning run. Back to our game ....

[msstate7]

Well a tie for sec not so bad

[MarketingBully]

Collins swings at a shitty pitch. Game goes to top of the seventh State up 6-2.

[BulldogBear]

Well a tie for sec not so bad

No, 2-2 count

[Brando]

Melton pops up. 2 outs.

[msstate7]

1 more short

[BulldogBear]

Bear game.

Pop up to 1B foul territory. Bears are one out away but bases juiced.

[Brando]

Ballgame!! NM wins.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

YES!!!!

[RocketDawg]

Who's the announcer set up in the Tiki Lounge? I probably should know but don't.

[Dawg61]

YES!!!!

[BulldogBear]

Ballgame!! NM wins.

Haha! Hail State!

Thanks to TAMU for losing

[msstate7]

Good job, om... Hope you don't win another game

[RocketDawg]

A&M loses!!

[Brando]

Who's the announcer set up in the Tiki Lounge? I probably should know but don't.

Isnt Kevin Gross? I know his last name is Gross...

[smootness]

Holy crap, I can't believe everything has fallen into place.

[notsofarawaydawg]

Hoddy Toddy Bitches . you still going down hard for cheating !!!!!

[MarketingBully]

Gabe Gross is the announcer at the tiki lounge.

[maroonmania]

Thank you Bears!

[RocketDawg]

We've still got to win this one though. Seems highly likely, but one never knows.

[Brando]

Gabe Gross is the announcer at the tiki lounge.

Gabe! Thanks for that.

[MarketingBully]

Shit. Should have gotten to that ground ball. Two on one out.

[RocketDawg]

Gabe Gross is the announcer at the tiki lounge.

Thanks.

[RocketDawg]

I guess we could recommend one less scholarship loss to OM FB for winning that game.

[smootness]

I guess we could recommend one less scholarship loss to OM FB for winning that game.

Nope, game's already over. We don't have to give them a thing.

[RocketDawg]

Our game is on the main SECN channel now. 404-1 on Dish Hopper.

[RocketDawg]

Nope, game's already over. We don't have to give them a thing.

Good point ....

[smootness]

HOLY CRAP, MANGUM! Probably my favorite player ever already.

[RocketDawg]

Good Lord, Mangum is not human. What a catch and double play!

[Dawgowar]

Nope, game's already over. We don't have to give them a thing.

They owe us a lot more than one game.

[Brando]

Mangum is an absolute MONSTER!!

[MarketingBully]

What a play by Mangum yet again! Double play ball and no damage done! Bottom of the seventh up 6-2!

[RocketDawg]

Mangum can't get drafted till after his junior year, right?

[AlmostPositive]

Mangum can't get drafted till after his junior year, right?

Eligible next year, I'm afraid

[smootness]

Mangum can't get drafted till after his junior year, right?

He can actually get drafted after next year because he'll be old enough. But he'll have a ton of leverage and seems like the type who may come back at least for his junior year.

[RocketDawg]

They owe us a lot more than one game.

Yeah, I was being overly generous with that tongue-in-cheek suggestion .... Caught up in the moment I suppose.

[RocketDawg]

Way back when I was a kid, probably in the late 50s, the Cardinals had a starting pitcher named Von McDaniel who was only 18. Might've been 17 when he went with the cards. Had a brother, also a pitcher, named Lindy McDaniel. The rules have changed since then.

You can be drafted out of HS...

[msstate7]

SS needs to keep tag on runner stealing... Mlb guys steal outs quite a bit doing that

[RocketDawg]

Any idea of the attendance today? Looks like it might make the Top 50.

[maroonmania]

Rooker is awful at the plate this weekend. Let some fast balls down the middle go by and strikes out on a ball in the dirt.

[JoseBrown]

Our 15 MAGNUM is a freaking beast- "Charlie Hustle 2.0"

[RocketDawg]

You can be drafted out of HS...


OK. Wasn't sure what they were doing these days. Good thing they didn't notice Mangum in high school. But we didn't either really from what I've heard.

[maroonmania]

A case there where if we had bunted Rooker we score a run on the Hump fly ball.

[Brando]

Good for Holland! He has hit some balls hard right at people!

[CadaverDawg]

Holland!

[msstate7]

Holland has been an asset lately... Good job, holland

[RocketDawg]

Good for Holland! He has hit some balls hard right at people!

He's been hitting a lot better lately. Not necessarily getting a hit, but hitting the ball hard.

[confucius say]

I love jake mangums emotion. I dig that shit

That's what I like most about him. That and he is an awesome player.

[Brando]

Boy Holland screwed that 2nd baseman up bigtime!!! Haha

[CadaverDawg]

Boy Holland screwed that 2nd baseman up bigtime!!! Haha

Yep, great job

[RocketDawg]

Boy Holland screwed that 2nd baseman up bigtime!!! Haha

I was surprised they didn't call interference on him.

[CadaverDawg]

KRUGER!

[RocketDawg]

Racking up a few more runs. I think we have it in the bag now.

[MarketingBully]

Now up 9-2 going to the top of the eighth.

[AlmostPositive]

Not at all a stretch to say we are playing the best baseball of any college team in the country.

Thanks for the effort and excellence guys... you're making a lot of old guys smile.

[maroonmania]

Clutch 2 out hitting that inning by Holland and Kruger!!! 6 MORE OUTS!

[Brando]

Not at all a stretch to say we are playing the best baseball of any college team in the country.

Thanks for the effort and excellence guys... you're making a lot of old guys smile.

Yep id say we are. Guys we have something very special going on right now!! Enjoy the ride!!

[CadaverDawg]

Throw strikes! We're up 7 for goodness sakes

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy Brown. 5 more

[Dawgowar]

Me watching this in baseball - excited, hopeful, believing. Me if this were football.....electroshock, screaming, breathing heavy and hands over face going "please. Please. Pleeeeaaase"

That is why I love MSU BAseball - I can enjoy it.

[msbulldog]

Not at all a stretch to say we are playing the best baseball of any college team in the country.

Making this old guy grin largely!

[CadaverDawg]

Strike 3!

4 more

[CadaverDawg]

Brown gettin ripped

Better than walks. Big lead. 9-3

[maroonmania]

Daniel Brown not fooling anyone at the moment.

[RocketDawg]

Looks like we've got a lot of old guys here. :) I was at State when the baseball field was tiny ... had wooden bleachers if I remember correctly. Not many went to the games back then.

[RocketDawg]

Might want to replace Brown ... 9-4 now with 2 outs.

[CadaverDawg]

Ok, get his ass out of there. Brown trying to EKU this shit

[JohnnyQuid]

I was surprised they didn't call interference on him.

owed him that one. he slid like he'd never done it before but dude kind jabbed him in the head earlier.

I was already celebrating but looks like we're gonna make this interesting

[MarketingBully]

That was disappointing. Brown should have pitched much better then that. Leaving balls up this team will hit them.

[Goldendawg]

I'm ready for that slightly overweight (politically correct term, maybe) woman to sing ASAP!

[RocketDawg]

Didn't we blow a big lead against some mid-week team back near the first of the season?

[maroonmania]

One more hit now and it goes to 9-6. Should have kept the hitter at first and let the guy go to third.

[RocketDawg]

I'm ready for that slightly overweight (politically correct term, maybe) to sing ASAP!

The fat lady? I don't do PC ....

[Dawgowar]

I'm ready for that slightly overweight (politically correct term, maybe) to sing ASAP!

The Fat Lady. The MF'ing Fat Lady needs to sing her plump, gelatinous arse off RIGHT FREAKING NOW!

[AlmostPositive]

I'm ready for that slightly overweight (politically correct term, maybe) to sing ASAP!

"lady" ?

[JohnnyQuid]

That was disappointing. Brown should have pitched much better then that. Leaving balls up this team will hit them.

browns really an enigma. has elite stuff but he's hit or miss. been better lately definately prefer him in a setup role

[confucius say]

Didn't we blow a big lead against some mid-week team back near the first of the season?

Eastern ky. And don't bring that crap up please, ha.

[JoseBrown]

Throw strikes dammit!

[maroonmania]

Well, at some point we will have to bring Humphreys in again.

[Brando]

Good gosh, now we cant throw a damn strike!!

[RocketDawg]

And Smith is wild.

[GreenheadDawg]

****ing bullpen

[confucius say]

Throw strikes!!

[JohnnyQuid]

It's only fitting we do this the mississippi state way. where all fans are so nervous u couldn't shove a greased bb up their ass. wouldn't know how to act otherwise

[AlmostPositive]

Arkansas has nothing to lose and they are making it work for them. Smith needs to treat this like a one run game. We'll be fine if he does.

[RocketDawg]

Well, at some point we will have to bring Humphreys in again.

How about right now before it gets out of hand.

[confucius say]

****ing bullpen

If we have a weak spot, that's it, no doubt.

[RocketDawg]

Out of it, finally.

[MarketingBully]

Thank goodness but our meat of our order is up and we are still leading 9-4. 9-4 Dogs going to bottom of the eighth, three outs to go!

[msbulldog]

WHEW!

[MaroonFlounder]

CHANGE PITCHERS!!!

[JoseBrown]

Finally! Good job Blake Smith. That's what happens when you throw strikes...

[Goldendawg]

I too wanted to say that tremendously FAT lady, but I had gone from "Wrapping It in Maroon and White" to nervous way too fast! Didn't want to jinx anything, anyway!

[Brando]

They just showed thw bracket and it looks like we will get the winner of Ky and Bama, then of we win that one, we Fl or LSU....

[AlmostPositive]

Ready to wrap it in fat ladies.

[MaroonFlounder]

The bullpen does not get enough work in live games.

[MarketingBully]

I just think Arkansas can also hit left handed pitching. Their lineup is filled with righties. 4 runs off of our left handed pitching.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Dogpile or not? What are we doing? Save it for Omaha? I vote save it. Act like you have bigger things coming.

[JoseBrown]

2334

Not a great shot. Hope you can see it..

[Brando]

Dogpile or not? What are we doing? Save it for Omaha? I vote save it. Act like you have bigger things coming.

I was wondering that myself...

[RocketDawg]

When's our first game in Hoover? I guess I could look the schedule up ....

[smootness]

Dogpile or not? What are we doing? Save it for Omaha? I vote save it. Act like you have bigger things coming.

I don't care, go nuts.

[MarketingBully]

To the top of the ninth we go, Dogs up 9-4. Three more outs to a championship.

[RocketDawg]

Dogpile or not? What are we doing? Save it for Omaha? I vote save it. Act like you have bigger things coming.

No, there's too great a chance of injury. It's happened before.

[Tbonewannabe]

I don't care, go nuts.

It has only been almost 30 years since we won the SEC. Why would we dogpile?

[JoseBrown]

When's our first game in Hoover? I guess I could look the schedule up ....

Wednesday at 4:30.

We get winner of Kentucky vs Alabama.

Oh, and dogpile!! They deserve it!!

[RocketDawg]

When's our first game in Hoover? I guess I could look the schedule up ....


We're going to Florida tomorrow, but coming back Friday. If the timing's right, could stop on the way back and see our game Friday (assuming we play).

[RocketDawg]

Excellent pitching on that first out.

[msstate7]

The team should do whatever they feel like in celebration. They earned it

[JohnnyQuid]

The team should do whatever they feel like in celebration. They earned it

I'm with ya. this shit don't happen much ****ing enjoy it

cos I'm bout to celebrate myself. might step outside and ring the ole bell

[RocketDawg]

Anybody still want to fire Cohen?

[maroonmania]

Umpire screwed us over there!!

[JohnnyQuid]

Anybody still want to fire Cohen?

never jumped on that train, thankfully.

[RocketDawg]

never jumped on that train, thankfully.

Me either.

[MarketingBully]

Wtf is this shit....

[RocketDawg]

Wtf is this shit....

I guess we had to make it "interesting". I could do with bland right now though.

[RocketDawg]

K. One out away.

[RocketDawg]

Did. SEC Champs!

[MarketingBully]

SEC CHAMPIONS BABY! Woooooooooo!

[Dawg61]

SO SWEET!!!!!! Hail State!!!!

[RocketDawg]

No dog pile, but a champagne celebration. Or Mountain Dew maybe ....

[maroonmania]

Cohen can stay!!!

[Goldendawg]

No dogpile! This team looks like they have been there before and will again!!!!!

[JohnnyQuid]

What a fun year. love this team

[msbulldog]

[DancingRabbit]

[Dolphus Raymond]

Yes.

[AlmostPositive]

[AusTexDawg]

How 'bout them Diamond Dawgs! Love the grit and fire that this team has.

[maroonmania]

Great, great team accomplishment. Winning the SEC in baseball in just as difficult as winning the SEC in football.
