[pdawg10msu]

Solid lineup! Let's roll!

[Brando]

Beer is cold, ribs are done, daughter and wife are out of the house shopping, NM lost and is sitting at home crying.... all I need now is a #Hailstate win and I can call this a GREAT DAY!!

[msbulldog]

Beer is cold, ribs are done, daughter and wife are out of the house shopping, NM lost and is sitting at home crying.... all I need now is a #Hailstate win and I can call this a GREAT DAY!!

I'm hoping you can call it a GREAT DAY too!

[msstate7]

How did Virginia get such an easy bracket? Bryant (?) as a 2-seed

[pdawg10msu]

Can't say the same. Business meeting at 630 but they do better when I don't watch so maybe it's a good thing!

[CadaverDawg]

Wow, I thought Elih was Sexton's designated catcher?

Let's roll. I like the lineup

[CadaverDawg]

How did Virginia get such an easy bracket? Bryant (?) as a 2-seed

Yep, what garbage

[drunkernhelldawg]

We set to start on time?

[CadaverDawg]

We set to start on time?

Yep should be

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Let's do this boys. I think Sexton steps up tonight and shows out.

[jbjones]

Mangum! first pitch base hit..let's get it dawgs!

[wasabaka]

Hail State! Take care of business tonight, boys.

[wasabaka]

Mangum is a full grown man!

[confucius say]

why we visitors? Both us and csf were home yesterday, would think it would go to highest seed

[War Machine Dawg]

Beer is cold, ribs are done, daughter and wife are out of the house shopping, NM lost and is sitting at home crying.... all I need now is a #Hailstate win and I can call this a GREAT DAY!!

I'd argue it's already a great day. But a #HailState win would make it a PERFECT DAY!

[msbulldog]

There you go! Good start!

[RocketDawg]

Mangum is much better left-handed. Maybe he should quit switch hitting.

[War Machine Dawg]

why we visitors? Both us and csf were home yesterday, would think it would go to highest seed

I'd assume we lost the coin toss. And because baseball home/away rules are apparently communist.

[ScoobaDawg]

Nice hit by Magnum to start

[ScoobaDawg]

Pop out to 2b by Kruger

[wasabaka]

Mangum is much better left-handed. Maybe he should quit switch hitting.

As long as he's probably been seeing lefties from the right side of the plate, he probably wouldn't do much better batting left handed against them. Plus, he still makes good contact most of the time from the right side, but they always seem to be hit right where a fielder is placed. He'll figure it out.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Well looks like the freshmen likes the high fastball as his out pitch. Hopefully we can lay off them.

[ScoobaDawg]

fly out to lf by lowe

[msstate7]

Come on Collins

[ScoobaDawg]

Magnum stranded at 1st base. Come on Sexton

[msstate7]

What was that pitch? Fastball?

[jbjones]

Atta boy, Sexton...swinging K. 1 down. Keep it up.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Atta boy, Sexton...swinging K. 1 down. Keep it up.

Damn; when you posted this, my tv is showing 2 pitches.

[wasabaka]

What was that pitch? Fastball?

Looked like it. Right down the gut. Oh well.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Sexton is coming out dirty!!

[jbjones]

Damn; when you posted this, my tv is showing 2 pitches.

Yeah, my bad, I'm gonna chill out...listening on the radio. Way ahead of the interwebz feed.

[wasabaka]

Great reaction by Holland there on a hot shot to Lowe. Two down.

[msstate7]

Looked like it. Right down the gut. Oh well.

Yeah, if he can throw the fastball by us, it might be a long night

[wasabaka]

Good job Sexton. 12 pitch inning with one single.

[wasabaka]

Yeah, if he can throw the fastball by us, it might be a long night

He set Gavin up well with off-speed stuff to get that third strike, though. We will be okay.

This team reminds me of Oregon, who we destroyed. Great pitching and no offense. We will do our damage against this guy the second or third time through the lineup.

[CadaverDawg]

Did y'all see Virginia get beat on the walk off bomb? Ha.

Miami is trailing too. I'm rooting for Miami to lose now that OM is out. Any other top seeds too.

[War Machine Dawg]

Man, Rooker hitting it on the screws again after a tough couple of weeks. That's damn good to see.

[CadaverDawg]

Looking like an easy inning for the CSF pitcher. Not good. I wanted to jump on this guy early

[Crystal Balls]

Is the game on direct TV? Can't find it.

[msstate7]

Rooker hit that ball on the skinny part of the bat. He could be a 15 hr guy next season if he returns

[wasabaka]

Reid just cannot hit RHP.**

[msbulldog]

Yeah, my bad, I'm gonna chill out...listening on the radio. Way ahead of the interwebz feed.

Yeah I saw 2 balls whe Sexton tossed the ball to first to end the inning.

[CadaverDawg]

Good to see Rooker & Humphreys squaring up the RHP. We need to grab an early lead somehow

[wasabaka]

Is the game on direct TV? Can't find it.

ESPN3 only.

[Dawg Tired]

Need a huge favor, I'm on the road on a 6 hour drive home. Can anyone provide a link to listen to the game? Thanks in advance.

Download the OOB "Out of Bounds" app, & it has a listen live link where you can get the game

[MSUDawg13]

We're much better than this team. We just need to get some timely hits and play good defense behind sexton. If we do that, nothing to worry about

[Crystal Balls]

ESPN3 only.
Thanks

[CadaverDawg]

Well, 2 hits thru 2, but nothing to show for it. I hate letting this freshman settle in

[wasabaka]

That is, if they are carrying the game. I haven't checked, but I listened to several games through them this year. I'm watching ESPN3 on my phone.

[RocketDawg]

ESPN strikes again: "The Bulldogs inhabit where the Rebels usually are.", referring to the fact that we're using the visitor dugout.

Edit to correct: Actually, I think he said "The Titans inhabit where the Rebels usually are."

[msstate7]

Good grief.

[RocketDawg]

Collins just made his error du jour ....

[MSUDawg13]

That bounced off his foot!! Foul ball

[wasabaka]

Wow, Gavin. WTF was that? That's not what Sexton needs tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

****ing Collins. I swear, he ALWAYS kicks it around behind Sexton. Shit

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Collins drives me absolutely crazy.

[msstate7]

****ing Collins. I swear, he ALWAYS kicks it around behind our entire staff. Shit

Fify

[wasabaka]

We have to make routine plays if we are going to go any further in this tournament.

[maroonmania]

Collins is just defensively uncoordinated. Geez.

[CadaverDawg]

We have to make routine plays if we are going to go any further in this tournament.

Yep. Sexton now ruins a double play, but at least he got 1.

Not liking our defensive start

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I hope Stricklin puts in an organ in the new stadium. We need something between pitches, etc. to keep the crowd in it. Currently sitting on their hands.

[jbjones]

Damn, I hate walks...2 on, 2 out. 0-0 the score.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

The defense better sharpen up. We're giving too many extra outs.

[CadaverDawg]

Seems like our defense is very good reactionary players, but when they have time to make a play, they think too much & screw it up

[MSUDawg13]

Sexton's got that changeup working tonight. He's turning it over both ways for strikes

[RocketDawg]

I hope Stricklin puts in an organ in the new stadium. We need something between pitches, etc. to keep the crowd in it. Currently sitting on their hands.

Yeah, that would be the finishing touch to a real nice stadium. Organs are traditional in baseball. Just need someone to play it regularly, but that shouldn't be hard to find around the university.

[wasabaka]

I hope Stricklin puts in an organ in the new stadium. We need something between pitches, etc. to keep the crowd in it. Currently sitting on their hands.

This is a definite must. And hire the Braves guy that was on the organ when we played at Auburn. He was hilariously awesome.

[msstate7]

I said earlier today we couldn't have walks and errors... Not a good start

[CadaverDawg]

I hate a damn walk. Good grief. Error + walk and now we're about to be trailing

[jbjones]

Yeah, that would be the finishing touch to a real nice stadium. Organs are traditional in baseball. Just need someone to play it regularly, but that shouldn't be hard to find around the university.

I agree, that's an awesome idea! Surely we have a classical organist in the area or on our payroll already.

[RocketDawg]

I hate a damn walk. Good grief. Error + walk and now we're about to be trailing

Nope, got out of it.

[War Machine Dawg]

I hate a damn walk. Good grief. Error + walk and now we're about to be trailing

You were saying?

[wasabaka]

Good. Second time through the order coming up after Holland. We should start seeing some damage done to this freshman.

[CadaverDawg]

Well, 2 choices...

1) Start scoring some damn runs

OR

2) Clean up the defense and throw strikes

Otherwise...we will be playing early tomorrow

[War Machine Dawg]

I agree, that's an awesome idea! Surely we have a classical organist in the area or on our payroll already.

Plenty of music students who play the organ on campus.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

No damage down, but damnit guys! Tighten up the ship!

[CadaverDawg]

You were saying?

Like a charm, wmd

[CadaverDawg]

I thought organ music was just piped in, No?

[Brando]

BlackHole Holland!!!

[MSUDawg13]

We'll hit this guy second time through the order. He's nothing special

[maroonmania]

Good grief this CSF pitcher works slow.

[CadaverDawg]

Holland with a rip. He is seeing the ball well the last month

[wasabaka]

I thought organ music was just piped in, No?

It wasn't at Auburn. It was a real organ played by the Braves' organist since Atlanta was away that weekend. He was great.

[RocketDawg]

Holland is hitting a LOT better lately. If we get through Omaha, he'll be batting .300. :)

[wasabaka]

I thought organ music was just piped in, No?

Although I'm sure most college parks just pipe it in. We need a real one at the next version of The Dude.

[MSUDawg13]

Let's see a hit and run here. Put some pressure on them early

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I just turned on the stats on HailState....it's ahead of the game. Saw where Holland got his hit before it happened on tv.

If we hit a grand slam, y'all want me to tell you before it happens?

[CadaverDawg]

It wasn't at Auburn. It was a real organ played by the Braves' organist since Atlanta was away that weekend. He was great.

That's cool

[MarketingBully]

Holland has done well over the past month. Remember, he was batting at one point .175

[CadaverDawg]

I just turned on the stats on HailState....it's ahead of the game. Saw where Holland got his hit before it happened on tv.

If we hit a grand slam, y'all want me to tell you before it happens?

No! Ha

[wasabaka]

Mangum got fooled on that AB. Doesn't happen often.

[CadaverDawg]

Shit Jake. Quit swinging at everything. He swung at all balls

[msstate7]

We'll hit this guy second time through the order. He's nothing special

K'd mangum... Must have good stuff

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Mangum too anxious there.

[wasabaka]

Kruger rip!

[wasabaka]

Just need a deep fly ball here, Lowe.

[Dawg Tired]

Thanks for your help. Not sure if it loaded correctly. I didn't see the play button at the top of the page.

[msstate7]

Mangum got fooled on that AB. Doesn't happen often.
Mangum is a good hitter with runners on, but he's freaking Ted Williams with no one on

[CadaverDawg]

Kruger doubles! Get em in, Nathaniel

[jbjones]

Clemson (1 seed) getting stroked by OK ST (2 seed) 7-0. Wow.

[RocketDawg]

I just turned on the stats on HailState....it's ahead of the game. Saw where Holland got his hit before it happened on tv.

If we hit a grand slam, y'all want me to tell you before it happens?

Kinda sad that the stats are ahead of the ESPN stream. I guess somebody has to actually type them in. We must be near a minute off real time.

[MSUDawg13]

K'd mangum... Must have good stuff

He swung at 2 curveballs that bounced before the plate. This guy isn't as good as the guy we faced yesterday.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Lowe....get 1 in at least. Come on

[jbjones]

Dawgs!!! Holland scores! 1-0. Lowe RBI.

[msstate7]

Dagws!!! Holland scores! 1-0. Lowe RBI.

Slow down haha

[RocketDawg]

Dagws!!! Holland scores! 1-0. Lowe RBI.

Just happened on television. We're way behind.

[wasabaka]

Dagws!!! Holland scores! 1-0. Lowe RBI.

Haha I thought you were going to chill.

[MSUDawg13]

1-0 good guys!! Good AB Lowe

[CadaverDawg]

RBI Lowe

Good job Nate!

[jbjones]

Haha I thought you were going to chill.

I am...I am...sorry...I just get excited and can't help it...

[msstate7]

How have I gone all year without knowing lowe's brother is a potential 1st round mlb guy out of HS?

[RocketDawg]

RBI Lowe

Good job Nate!

His mother will kill you.

[wasabaka]

How have I gone all year without knowing lowe's brother is a potential 1st round mlb guy out of HS?

It's been mentioned a few times. He's not going to college, though. That's why no one has made a big deal about it.

[RocketDawg]

How have I gone all year without knowing lowe's brother is a potential 1st round mlb guy out of HS?

I'd never heard that either. Maybe he'll come to State instead.

[CadaverDawg]

His mother will kill you.

Ha, notice I called him Nathaniel earlier?

[maroonmania]

Watching Collins hit lazy fly ball popups gets a little old. And Mangum has got to stop swing at EVERY ball in the dirt. Nice to get 1 but we should have gotten 2.

[Percho]

I don't think Collins has a clue as a hitter.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Long Beach St beating Miami 1-0 in top of 5th. If we make to Omaha, somebody said we are paired up with Miami super. Would love to see Miami stay at home.

[MSUDawg13]

How have I gone all year without knowing lowe's brother is a potential 1st round mlb guy out of HS?

First I've heard of it too. Is he projected to be a pitcher or position player at the MLB level?

[wasabaka]

Thanks for your help. Not sure if it loaded correctly. I didn't see the play button at the top of the page.

It's there at the top left of the page under the ZONE logo. It's a right-facing arrow inside a circle next to the words "Central Mississippi's Spo..."

Just click the circle and it will load and play. I just checked it, and they are carrying the MSU broadcast tonight.

[RocketDawg]

Got a line of minor storms/rain heading to Starkville. Looks like maybe 30 minutes out.

[CadaverDawg]

Got a line of minor storms/rain heading to Starkville. Looks like maybe 30 minutes out.

Noooo

[Bully13]

nobody on, 2 outs , 2-2 count and you hit the batter. pitcher should be charged with an error in that situation.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I love it when a pitcher comes right at them when it's 1-2 or 0-2. Way too many waste pitches in my opinion. Everybody is looking for it.

[CadaverDawg]

Another free pass

[msstate7]

First I've heard of it too. Is he projected to be a pitcher or position player at the MLB level?

Apparently as a 3b. He also pitches though. Committed to fsu. Another interesting fact is their dad was a 5th round pick, but didn't sign... I guess to be a pilot in the military.

http://www.crawfishboxes.com/2016/5/30/11812886/2016-mlb-draft-profile-joshua-lowe-3b-rhp-ga-hs

[CadaverDawg]

nobody on, 2 outs , 2-2 count and you hit the batter. pitcher should be charged with an error in that situation.

Haha I'm with you

[MSUDawg13]

This ump is giving nothing below the knees.

[wasabaka]

I don't think Collins has a clue as a hitter.

He's done well this year, especially lately. Yes, you still get some Ks and popups with him, but he has improved his average to .308 this last half of the season.

I'm just happy when he contributes more runs on offense than he gives up on defense. If we have a positive Collins Factor at the end of the game, it usually means we win.

[CadaverDawg]

This ump is pissing me off

[CadaverDawg]

****ing ump cost us there.

And the HBP.

I swear, can we go 1 inning without a walk or an error?

[wasabaka]

Ump is tightening up.

[CadaverDawg]

Oh my Gosh, BLUE! You piece of shit!!

[CadaverDawg]

Go after him Austin! Quit nibbling & letting him even the count

[Bully13]

throw 17 ing strikes. you've got a .210 hitter at the plate with a 1-2 count. I guess the ump may be blind too. just watching the computer though.

[wasabaka]

Got eeem! Sexton gets out of it with a swinging K.

[msstate7]

Big k

[Bully13]

we got out of it

[CadaverDawg]

Sexton better stop walking folks or his pitch count will end his night early. 53 pitches already through 3. Not good

[maroonmania]

Fortunate to get the guy to go after that 3-2 pitch to get out of the inning. I really wish Sexton would quit nibbling so much after he gets guys 0-2 or 1-2. He is running his pitch count up unnecessarily.

[War Machine Dawg]

Shit Sexton has thrown a lot of pitches. But most of that is his fault for the damn walks. He needs to get his shit together and eat up some innings to save our pen a little bit. We really need it after Hudson's bed shitting yesterday.

[CadaverDawg]

throw 17 ing strikes. you've got a .210 hitter at the plate with a 1-2 count. I guess the ump may be blind too. just watching the computer though.

Ump is terribly inconsistent...especially on the outside corner strike

[IMissJack]

Man, Clemson is getting chippy with the ump, probably upset that OSU has 11 hits in 3 innings and trail 8-1.

[War Machine Dawg]

throw 17 ing strikes. you've got a .210 hitter at the plate with a 1-2 count. I guess the ump may be blind too. just watching the computer though.

Exactly. These guys can't hit. Put it over the plate and let them get themselves out. It ain't rocket surgery.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Between Collins E and the hit batter, Sexton has thrown 19 more pitches than necessary. I hate crap like that.

[War Machine Dawg]

Man, Clemson is getting chippy with the ump, probably upset that OSU has 11 hits in 3 innings and trail 8-1.

To be fair, he was safe at the plate. That said, when the ball beats you by that much, you're out.

[Percho]

Sexton better stop walking folks or his pitch count will end his night early. 53 pitches already through 3. Not good

If this ump would call few strikes there would be no walks. I would even give up a few to us for a few.

[CadaverDawg]

Robson, you aren't Derek Jeter...quit swinging at everything & work the count. Good grief

[CadaverDawg]

Between Collins E and the hit batter, Sexton has thrown 19 more pitches than necessary. I hate crap like that.

Yep. And instead of using the ump to our advantage...we're swinging at everything this bastard throws. Doesn't matter if it bounces 10 feet in front of the plate

[wasabaka]

Robson, you aren't Derek Jeter...quit swinging at everything & work the count. Good grief

He's a leadoff hitter. That's just the mentality they have.

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson, you aren't Derek Jeter...quit swinging at everything & work the count. Good grief

There's a fine line between aggressive and overly aggressive. More often than not, we're on the wrong side of that fine line.

[MarketingBully]

Terrible at bats there in the fourth. Just bad. Going to the bottom of the 4th 1-0 State.

[maroonmania]

Well we certainly aren't doing much to get the CSF's pitcher's pitch count up. Wish Robson, when leading off the inning, would lay one down the 3rd base line and force them to make a defensive play.

[CadaverDawg]

He's a leadoff hitter. That's just the mentality they have.

Leadoffs are supposed to work counts, not swing at everything. Robson, Gridley, Holland...should never see less than 3 pitches IMO

[Bully13]

Yep. And instead of using the ump to our advantage...we're swinging at everything this bastard throws. Doesn't matter if it bounces 10 feet in front of the plate

agreed. just signed in to espn 3. not a good 3 at bats there.

[CadaverDawg]

Well we certainly aren't doing much to get the CSF's pitcher's pitch count up. Wish Robson, when leading off the inning, would lay one down the 3rd base line and force them to make a defensive play.

Yep, or at least work the count a little.

[wasabaka]

These depressed and anxious teenager commercials are making me want to pull my hair out. I think I'm getting depressed and anxious being forced to watch them over and over. I guess I should tweet out the useless hashtag they are pushing and that will make everything okay?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Crowd is dead. They keep talking about playing in front of all these people, but it sounds like there are 2,000 people there. Sometimes we sit there and wait for something to happen instead of putting pressure on the other team. Buy the organ.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Wow. UConn, down 5-1 to Florida has come back to tie it 5-5

[msstate7]

Listening to Jim and I forgot we offered pitching coach job to csf's guy

[wasabaka]

Listening to Jim and I forgot we offered pitching coach job to csf's guy

I'm happy with who we got in the end, but that wouldn't have been bad, either.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Listening to Jim and I forgot we offered pitching coach job to csf's guy

Glad we got who we did, but CSF leads nation in ERA, so sounds like we'd have been ok either way.

[CadaverDawg]

Wow. UConn, down 5-1 to Florida has come back to tie it 5-5

Would be great if they got knocked out. I would rather not face SEC teams in Omaha if we make it

[CadaverDawg]

Come on Austin. Work ahead

[wasabaka]

Would be great if they got knocked out. I would rather not face SEC teams in Omaha if we make it

Agreed

[CadaverDawg]

GOOD INNING!!

[wasabaka]

9 pitch inning. Just what we needed.

[CadaverDawg]

Let's get some runs, boys!!!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Would be great if they got knocked out. I would rather not face SEC teams in Omaha if we make it

Would suit me to not see any other SEC teams in Omaha. I'm not that SEC guy who pulls for everyone to make it.

[RocketDawg]

These depressed and anxious teenager commercials are making me want to pull my hair out. I think I'm getting depressed and anxious being forced to watch them over and over. I guess I should tweet out the useless hashtag they are pushing and that will make everything okay?

Yeah, but the guy playing the piano is pretty good.

Not sure I understand the "squareheads" that Honda has, but I'm old.

[MarketingBully]

Gridley made more plays that inning then he did in Hoover and CSF goes 1-2-3. Going to top of the fifth 1-0 State. We need more runs!

[msstate7]

I'm happy with who we got in the end, but that wouldn't have been bad, either.

Yeah, Cohen obviously did a great job scouting coaches

[Mutt the Hoople]

It ain't rocket surgery.
Or Brain Science.

[Dawg61]

Need some offense

[CadaverDawg]

Just poured a whiskey.... Let's see what it does

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Man; wish he would have pulled that a little more.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn, Gridley drilled it

[wasabaka]

Yeah, but the guy playing the piano is pretty good.

Not sure I understand the "squareheads" that Honda has, but I'm old.

That one would be a much more effective ad if the little boy at the end who touches the car instantly turns from a squarehead into a normal kid. Just my thoughts as a person who has nothing to do with creating advertisements.

[Duckdog]

Just poured a whiskey.... Let's see what it doesYou're behind

[Bully13]

the teams from outside the SEC, especially the ones you would not expect to impress have done so. not convinced the SEC is that much better than the rest of the nation at this point.

17, just missed a dinger at the warning track.

[wasabaka]

Let's go Mangum, get a 2 out rally started.

[confucius say]

Thanks for your help. Not sure if it loaded correctly. I didn't see the play button at the top of the page.

Yea its been being on there all year, but I tried it yesterday and the "play" icon was no longer at the top of the page. not sure what the deal is.

[wasabaka]

He's going to keep feeding Jake that 12-6 curve in the dirt. He needs to lay off of it.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum swings at E V E R Y T H I N G

[RocketDawg]

Mangum just can't hit this guy. He's swinging at everything.

[maroonmania]

You can tell they do a good job of scouting hitters. SECOND straight time Mangum has struck out and EVERY pitch has been in the dirt. Mangum has gone after all of them.

[MarketingBully]

What is the deal with this pitcher? Why are we swinging at so many bad pitches. How many of those balls would actually be strikes if we didn't swing?

[wasabaka]

He's going to keep feeding Jake that 12-6 curve in the dirt. He needs to lay off of it.

Damn. Three of them in a row, and he swung at all three. Cohen needs to pull him to the side and coach some hitting.

[msstate7]

Mangum may not see another fastball in the postseason

[CadaverDawg]

That was pathetic. Get your head out of your ass, Mangum

[maroonmania]

Mangum swings at E V E R Y T H I N G

He does swing at everything in the dirt.

[Bully13]

how many balls in the dirt are we going to swing at tonight?

[msstate7]

What is the deal with this pitcher? Why are we swinging at so many bad pitches. How many of those balls would actually be strikes if we didn't swing?
Movement

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Mangum is just way to anxious. He's swinging at everything up there. Cohen needs to talk to him and make him take the first two pitches next ab.

[CadaverDawg]

We've got to start working some counts. Too aggressive. Adjust

[99jc]

Mangum just can't hit this guy. He's swinging at everything.

I DONT THINK THEY HAVE THROWN HIM A STRIKE YET.

[maroonmania]

If I was pitching to Mangum I would aim everything to land in front of the plate.

[wasabaka]

Mangum may not see another fastball in the postseason

He usually hits curve balls well. But this one has great 12-6 action on it, which he probably hasn't seen that much. Cohen needs to have a talk with him and straighten him out.

[maroonmania]

I DONT THINK THEY HAVE THROWN HIM A STRIKE YET.

Good scouting. They probably won't throw him anything else in the zone until he shows some discipline.

[Dawg61]

Nice play Kruger!

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Way to go Kruger! Only thing he didn't do was get a kiss from the diamond girl.

[Bully13]

17, bh to center, 1 out, man on 1st

[CadaverDawg]

I hate all these weak ass throws over, when we never show an actual Good pickoff move. Stupid

[Bully13]

this guy on 1st is gonna run

[maroonmania]

Collins will end up costing us this game.

[wasabaka]

Damn it Collins!!!

[Brando]

Holy hell, were gonna get burnt playing with fire..

[CadaverDawg]

****ing Collins. He's going to lose us this damn Regional

[ScoobaDawg]

Got a line of minor storms/rain heading to Starkville. Looks like maybe 30 minutes out.

Its dying as it moves east north east. should just be a sprinkle..no delay

[Bully13]

holy dick

[MSUDawg13]

Don't give them this game. This team is not good

[MarketingBully]

Collins is the shittiest defensive third baseman Cohen has ever had.

[Percho]

Between this ump and Collins we are in for a long night.

[starkvegasdawg]

Can't be giving extra outs. Runs are at a premium.

[wasabaka]

We would probably be just as good with three infielders, and sticking Collins in the outfield as a rover.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Collins has been a detriment so far. Damn man come on.

[CadaverDawg]

We are facing a team that cannot string enough hits together to beat us...so we're going to hit people, walk people, and make errors to help em out.

We will lose the lead right here

[msstate7]

Wish we had played Stovall at 3b some. In postseason play a porous 3b can get you sent home asap

[99jc]

HE is a liability for sure he sucks defensivly

[Bully13]

is that 2 17ing errors already on our 3b?

[jbjones]

****ing Collins. He's going to lose us this damn Regional

Sexton says, "F-you...I do it myself".

[Brando]

Sexton gotta nut up here...

[wasabaka]

Sexton says, "F U Collins. I do it myself!"

[Bully13]

helluva a pitch there to get the 0-1 by sexton; then follows up with a great tailing pitch for 0-2

[jbjones]

Sexton says, "F U Collins. I do it myself!"

Nice...

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

LOVE IT!! Most every hitter is sitting on a waste pitch on 0-2. Pitchers don't go right at them enough. That's twice Sexton has made it work tonight.

[Bully13]

GO 17 yourself Pinkston!!! that was a strike. all of them were , go 17 yourself

[starkvegasdawg]

Sexton says, "F U Collins. I do it myself!"

Jobu approves.

[CadaverDawg]

BIG!

Unfortunately, we can't hit this guy so we're gonna have to shut em out

[wasabaka]

Sexton says, "F-you...I do it myself".

Haha. Great minds...

[MarketingBully]

Man, Collins has been very lucky this game. Sexton escapes trouble caused by Collins going to the sixth 1-0 State. Score some damn runs!

[Brando]

GO 17 yourself Pinkston!!! that was a strike. all of them were , go 17 yourself

Tell us how you really feel about him.... hahaha

[Bully13]

Sexton bales out Collins.

[99jc]

I think we score this inning

[wasabaka]

BIG!

Unfortunately, we can't hit this guy so we're gonna have to shut em out

Third time through the lineup. Here comes some hits...

[CadaverDawg]

Collins is due a bomb, bc he usually does something good at the plate just when I'm ready for Cohen to bench him due to his shitty defense

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

I would feel real comfortable with 3 runs tonight. But let's go ahead and settle for 6 to be sure.

[jbjones]

Sexton bales out Collins.

That's what a team does. I like it.

[IMissJack]

BIG!

Unfortunately, we can't hit this guy so we're gonna have to shut em out

Just told my son if they score 2 we lose as long as this guy is in there.

[MarketingBully]

We need to get this kid's pitch count up.

[Dawg61]

**** we need more runs

[jbjones]

Lowe with a single, now Collins up. Let's see if he can return the favor....

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief, if we would just be disciplined at the plate...we would have about 10 walks. QUIT ****ING SWINGING AT EVERYTHING

[msstate7]

This pitcher is good as advertised

[Percho]

We are swinging at everything hoping for a hit and they are taking everything hoping for a walk.

[Dawg61]

Nice hit Lowe!

[Bully13]

another 17ing dirt strike out. holy 17 guys
