Regional Championship Game Thread vs La Tech

[War Machine Dawg]

Hump bounces out to SS. 3-0 Dawgs after 3. Lucky as hell Collins and Rook bailed out #TheMeddler

[War Machine Dawg]

I'm thinking I don't understand baseball at this point. Game 4 for la tech, 350 batter, and we give them an easy out

Because it isn't baseball. It's #Cohening

[CadaverDawg]

I'm thinking I don't understand baseball at this point. Game 4 for la tech, 350 batter, and we give them an easy out

You understand it perfectly. We just have a coach that has moments of blockheadedness like no other

[CadaverDawg]

Hump is out? Why? The hand?

[Leroy Jenkins]

Or a 1 pitch ground out. Great strategy

http://e.lvme.me/fzrtozl.jpg

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Zac! Pitch with a lead

[Brando]

Hump was taken out. Hope its nothing serious...

[War Machine Dawg]

C'mon, Zac. Give us a shutdown inning here. Keep the momentum snowballing.

[Bully13]

LOVING ME SOME zaK!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Get ahead, Zac. Quit falling behind.

[War Machine Dawg]

LOVING ME SOME zaK!!!!

Dammit, can't believe I just now figured out what you're doing. I like it! Apologies for my earlier rant.

[CadaverDawg]

K

[Bully13]

zaK is dealing

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaK with K numbah 2 this inning.

[IMissJack]

Houston is bringing some heat

[Bully13]

Dammit, can't believe I just now figured out what you're doing. I like it! Apologies for my earlier rant.

LOL WMD, you actually caught me. I just had a good comeback. LOL

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit, why is it so hard to have a clean inning? Gotta walk somebody after striking out 2 in a row. I hate a damn walk. Especially with a 3-0 lead

[War Machine Dawg]

4 pitch walk with 2 outs. Damn!

[CadaverDawg]

Throw strikes, Zac

[CadaverDawg]

Shit. Now headcase Houston has replaced zaK suddenly

[War Machine Dawg]

Mound visit by Wes.

[maroonmania]

Hope we are getting someone warm in the pen. That's the issue with Houston, he can be doing great and then just lose the strike zone.

[CadaverDawg]

Get him a fresh lid

[IMissJack]

Anyone hear anything on Humphreys?

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Zak does sweat like a pig.

[CadaverDawg]

Don't lose him

[CadaverDawg]

YES!!

[Bully13]

HOLY SHIT!!! ZAKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

[War Machine Dawg]

zaK Ks the side! Number 7 for him. Up to 70 pitches through 4.

[Hypnodawg]

ZaK is all over it! Hail state

[CadaverDawg]

z........a.......K!

[mparkerfd20]

Houston has turned into an elite pitcher the last 2 starts

[Engine]

ZaKKK strikes out the side. BLM protesters storm the field afterwards.

[MarketingBully]

Zac strikes out the side going to bottom of the fourth up 3-0.

[ScoobaDawg]

You go ZacKKKKKKK Houston.

At 71 pitches... keep focused and get 2 more innings.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bot 9; Miami with runner on 3rd; 2 down.

[maroonmania]

Well, whatever Wes told him must have worked.

[CadaverDawg]

Houston has turned into an elite pitcher the last 2 starts

Better than Hudson right now

[War Machine Dawg]

Zak does sweat like a pig.

Doesn't help that it's probably humid as hell tonight, either.

[mstatefan91]

I hope Hump is ok. Be nice to see Cody get a base hit.

[CadaverDawg]

Miami walk off win

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Bot 9; Miami with runner on 3rd; 2 down.

Damn bloop single over 2nd scores the run. Miami wins.

[War Machine Dawg]

You go ZacKKKKKKK Houston.

At 71 pitches... keep focused and get 2 more innings.

Like!

[War Machine Dawg]

Miami walk off win

Damn! Was rooting for Long Beach.

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Miami bloop single over 2nd wins it. fart

[Percho]

Houston growing up tonight, boys!

[CadaverDawg]

Holland, stop swinging

[CadaverDawg]

Hahaha

[War Machine Dawg]

Black Hole singles. 1 on, 1 out

[CadaverDawg]

Black Hole singles. 1 on, 1 out

Singles? Ha, he struck out, but reached on pass ball

[CadaverDawg]

Wake up, Holland. Damn son

[CadaverDawg]

Free swinging Mangum down 0-2

[War Machine Dawg]

Mangum grounds to 2B, advances Black Hole. 2 away.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum swings at a ball. Grounds out

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

Free swinging Mangum down 0-2

Never saw a pitch he didn't like...

[Duckdog]

Wes: throw strikes you son of a bitch
Zack: Aight

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger chops out to 3B. 3-0 Dawgs after 4. Back to ZacKKKKKKK

[CadaverDawg]

To the 5th

3-0

[jbjones]

Wes: throw strikes you son of a bitch
Zack: Aight

hahaha...I like it.

[confucius say]

with houston's pitch count up, who you going to first out of the pen?

[CadaverDawg]

with houston's pitch count up, who you going to first out of the pen?

Rigby

[War Machine Dawg]

with houston's pitch count up, who you going to first out of the pen?

Depends on how far Houston can goes. Despite the pitch count, he hasn't thrown a whole lot of high stress pitches. He might could throw 120 or so tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

I was wondering if ULL might be pretty damn good after they spanked Zona....but now Zona is struggling mightily with Sam Houston...so maybe Arizona just isn't a good 2 seed

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaKKKKKKK gets the first guy. 1 away

[CadaverDawg]

That bogus ruling on the ITP grand slam is going to be the difference in LSU beating Rice. That pisses me off. LSU is lucky & that rule is bush league

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaKKKKKKK gets the second guy. 2 away

[confucius say]

Rigby

He threw a good bit Friday. I think we would use him if we needed to, but if we can keep a cushion, I dont think we will. Hump being a no go could change things though.

[Brando]

This dumbass anouncer just called their leadoff hitter Jacob Robson... idiot!!!

[maroonmania]

Well, concerned that we've lost one of our best late inning options to pitch and that's Humphreys. Sure hope he is at least OK to pitch by the Supers.

[Bully13]

that tailing fast ball by ZAKKK is nasty

[confucius say]

That bogus ruling on the ITP grand slam is going to be the difference in LSU beating Rice. That pisses me off. LSU is lucky & that rule is bush league

I missed that. What happened

[DancingRabbit]

That bogus ruling on the ITP grand slam is going to be the difference in LSU beating Rice. That pusses me off. LSU is lucky & that rule is bush league

Whiskey kicking in? Starting to slur your words.

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaKKKKKKKK adds another K! Number 8. 3-0 Dawgs headed B5.

[Hypnodawg]

ZaKKKKKKKK!

[CadaverDawg]

Well, concerned that we've lost one of our best late inning options to pitch and that's Humphreys. Sure hope he is at least OK to pitch by the Supers.

Hoping Cohen pulled him as a precaution since we're up and facing righty's. Let that hand treatment begin right away

[CadaverDawg]

Whiskey kicking in? Starting to slur your words.

Lol it is!

[War Machine Dawg]

Hoping Cohen pulled him as a precaution since we're up and facing righty's. Let that hand treatment begin right away

Probably getting it X-rayed, make sure nothing's broken.

[msstate7]

That bogus ruling on the ITP grand slam is going to be the difference in LSU beating Rice. That pisses me off. LSU is lucky & that rule is bush league

I'm lost. Fill me in please

[AlmostPositive]

So it took all season, but we found our Sunday starter...

[Bully13]

0-2 opposite field hits stimulates my groin. especially to start off an inning.

[War Machine Dawg]

Lowe single starts the inning.

[DancingRabbit]

Nathaniel singles, lead runner on. Let's get some more runs!!

[CadaverDawg]

I missed that. What happened

LSU hit a ball down the line and it got stuck under the bench in the bullpen. The outfielder threw his hands up & then tried to get it since the ump just stood there. Then the play was stopped after all runs scored, & the ruling "according to LSU's field rules", was that once the player makes an attempt to get the ball, it's no longer a stoppage. Bush league shit lead to a grand slam, now LSU is going to win 4-2. All 4 runs on that play

[CadaverDawg]

So it took all season, but we found our Sunday starter...

Or our Friday night guy

[AlmostPositive]

Former Dodgers minor leaguer Whatsisname should be given more opportunities to shut up.

[Bully13]

3-1, man on 1st with no outs. I like these situations.

[Bully13]

shit

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins pops out to CF. 1 on, 1 away

[HSVDawg]

I missed that. What happened

Deichmann for LSU hooked one just inside the line with the bases loaded. It immediately bounced under a wooden bench in the RF foul territory bullpen area that was in the field of play. RF for Rice immediately threw both hands up indicating he couldn't reasonably field the ball and was expecting a ground rule double to be signaled. Umps never signaled anything, so RF had to try and get the ball out. It was lodged way under there so of course he couldn't get to it. Turned out to be an inside the park grand slam.

[Bully13]

there we go. get men on , make contact, things happen.

[CadaverDawg]

3rd infield hit for Robby

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson singles, Lowe advances to 3B on a bad throw. 1st & 3rd, 1 away, Rooker up

[confucius say]

Just an aside, but Robson's speed has caused two errant throws. He was safe anyway on both so they were both singles, but the errant throws allowed a runner to go from second to third both times. Little things; speed never slumps.

Oh and he has three infield singles tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

Whacha say Rook?

[Bully13]

they are rattled. we're about to blow this bitch wide open. well shit. RBI though.

[CadaverDawg]

Sac fly! Rook just missed a bomb

[War Machine Dawg]

Rooker hits one to the track, Lowe tags and scores. 4-0 Dawgs

[ScoobaDawg]

Rooker is seeing the ball damn good... wow... just about 5 feet short but gets the job done.

4-0 MSU

[confucius say]

Rooker is a hell of a hitter when he doesn't pull off. Can always tell he is locked in when you see him hitting the ball to right center.

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Need rogue to teach rooker how to put a little more oomf in that

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson nearly picked off. 1B dropped the ball, thankfully

[msstate7]

Need rogue to teach rooker how to put a little more oomf in that

Nice

[CadaverDawg]

Need rogue to teach rooker how to put a little more oomf in that

Hahahaha

[War Machine Dawg]

Rooker is seeing the ball damn good... wow... just about 5 feet short but gets the job done.

4-0 MSU

I have no idea how that stayed in the park. He crushed it. Ball is dying tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

Battle him Cody

[War Machine Dawg]

Need rogue to teach rooker how to put a little more oomf in that

http://i.imgur.com/12k4RJv.gif

[CadaverDawg]

Damn. Ugly

[War Machine Dawg]

Cody Ks to end the inning on a failed check swing. 4-0 Good Guys after 5

[MarketingBully]

Not surprising Cody Brown strikes out. He is on a long slump.

[CadaverDawg]

4-0 Good guys headed to the 6th

[99jc]

is cody the best option to replace hump?

[MarketingBully]

You almost could put in Mike Smith there rather then Cody. Smith is a plus runner and has had more hits this month.

[CadaverDawg]

1 down

[War Machine Dawg]

Zac gets the first guy to ground to SS. 1 away

[Really Clark?]

Need rogue to teach rooker how to put a little more oomf in that

Just tweak his stance a little and he would hit 30 HR.***

[confucius say]

If we had this Houston all year we might have been 25-5 in conference play. I know bama couldnt hit, but lt can.

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaKKKKKKKKK gets K number 9. 2 away

[CadaverDawg]

ZaK

[AlmostPositive]

If Houston can keep pitching this way, we may win 50 games this year.

[DancingRabbit]

Damn, Zac pitching a 1-hitter with 10 K's

[CadaverDawg]

KKKKKKKKKKKK

[Bully13]

za KKKKKKKKKK

[Engine]

I LOVE WES JOHNSON

[cujo]

If Houston can keep pitching this way, we may win 50 games this year.

Why not us?

[CadaverDawg]

Zac may need to be our 1st night guy going forward. His last two outing have been phenomenal

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaKKKKKKKKKK with K number 10 to end the inning! Ties a career high for ZaKKKKKKKKKK. Up to 93 pitches now.

4-0 Good Guys headed B6.

[SaintDawg]

That is a grown man pitching for us tonight. Full grown. Machine.

[MarketingBully]

Yep, this is who you pitch to get to the championship series in Omaha.

[War Machine Dawg]

Zac may need to be our 1st night guy going forward. His last two outing have been phenomenal

Don't screw with the rotation now. That's #Meddler stuff. Keep going with Huddy, Sex, ZaK. Pilkington if we need a #4.

[Engine]

Hudson, Sexton, and Houston can win us a Natty

[BeardoMSU]

Don't screw with the rotation now. That's #Meddler stuff. Keep going with Huddy, Sex, ZaK. Pilkington if we need a #4.

This.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Gridley & Holland need to take some damn pitches

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

Any news on reid? It looked serious.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Gridley & Holland need to take some damn pitches

Haha Holland

[War Machine Dawg]

Black Hole rips a 1 out single into left.

[CadaverDawg]

This.

I wasn't being serious...just pointing out he's had "ace" stuff lately

[ScoobaDawg]

Houston is focused. Super impressed.

[War Machine Dawg]

Mangum grounds into a FC, forces Black Hole at 2B.

[AlmostPositive]

These announcers are godawful

[Bully13]

I don't think I've seen us score from 1st on a double all year long. I'm ready for one.

[CadaverDawg]

Go ahead & hit you a bomb, Kroog

[MarketingBully]

Any news on reid? It looked serious.

Didn't look serious to me. I think it was more precaution.

[War Machine Dawg]

Kruger smokes an IF single to 3B. 1st & 2nd, 2 out

[CadaverDawg]

Lowe up with men on 1st & 2nd

[Bully13]

what the 17? 2 in a row in the dirt

[CadaverDawg]

Shit Nate. Lookin like shit this ab

[BayouDawg]

Haha Holland

Screw the Dutch**

[War Machine Dawg]

Lowe with an IF single!!!!! Bases juiced, 2 away

[CadaverDawg]

Infield single for Lowe. Ha

Collins granny time. I'll call my shot.

[War Machine Dawg]

About to have a pitching change, it seems. LA Tech manager coming out to the mound.

[CadaverDawg]

Screw the Dutch**

Lol

[War Machine Dawg]

Infield single for Lowe. Ha

Collins granny time. I'll call my shot.

Collins backwards K on 3 pitches.

[confucius say]

As much as Mangum and Robson like to be off the bag even when the pitcher is not on the mound or rubber, somebody might try the hidden ball trick against us. Just a late night thought.

[ScoobaDawg]

Sweetness24/7 ‏@TheEastonColvin 39s39 seconds ago
Atkins(6-1) has thrown 42.2 innings, 28 H, 7 R, 12 BB, 54 K. He also has 9 saves.

BREAK IT OPEN COLLINS!!!!! 2 out hitting is what we have done so well ALL SEASON.

[War Machine Dawg]

LA Tech bringing in their closer. Might as well.

[Bully13]

"who are wearing maroon and white as opposed to red"?

[CadaverDawg]

Anticlimactic

[War Machine Dawg]

Collins grounds out to SS to end the inning. Damn! Still 4-0 Good Guys after 6.

[CadaverDawg]

"who are wearing maroon and white as opposed to red"?

I know, what the hell was he talking about? ****ing doofus

[War Machine Dawg]

Dunno why Collins didn't take a couple of pitches. See if he's throwing strikes.

[AlmostPositive]

"who are wearing maroon and white as opposed to red"?

LT also Bulldogs

[maroonmania]

Just seems lately we have a lot of trouble getting a big hit with guys on the sacks to break a game open. Other than the 9 runs against SEMO its been a while since our offense really scored much against a good team.

[CadaverDawg]

Oklahoma St may be about to win the Clemson regional. Good news for us since that's on our side of the bracket. OSU leads 8-2 in the b7

[Leroy Jenkins]

I know, what the hell was he talking about? ****ing doofus

Both teams are Bulldogs

[CadaverDawg]

Come on Zac, throw strikes. If you want to stay in

[confucius say]

Get the pen ready

[CadaverDawg]

Both teams are Bulldogs

I know, but it was still a wtf statement he was making

[Bully13]

lead of 17ing walk.... c'mon Zak

[CadaverDawg]

Walk. Shit. Get him out

[War Machine Dawg]

Damn! Houston with a leadoff walk to start the 7th.

[Bully13]

c'mon blue

[CadaverDawg]

Leadoff walks usually score. I'm sure this one will too

[War Machine Dawg]

I'd give a digit for a DP right now.

[Bully13]

Zak ain't got it right now. ... get the bullpen ready

[War Machine Dawg]

Houston over 100 pitches now. Starting to see a little action in the pen.

[Bully13]

atta boy....88 mph though...

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit, here we go. 2 on 0 outs. Robson with an awful jump

[War Machine Dawg]

Single popped into CF. Robson got a late break on it. 2 on, 0 out.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Wes leaving him in

[Bully13]

well 17. couldn't capitalize and now LA Tech threatens. 1st and 2nd and nobody out. should have had that ball in center. 17

[maroonmania]

TERRIBLE play by Robson. He totally misjudged that ball. Should have been an easy out.

[CadaverDawg]

We're about to blow this lead. All those chances to stretch it, and we didn't.

[War Machine Dawg]

atta boy....88 mph though...

Yeah, ZaK is gassed. Humidity has taken the starch out of him.

[CadaverDawg]

Not sure I like this

[Bully13]

not sure I like this. I think Zak is gassed.

[maroonmania]

Dammit, here we go. 2 on 0 outs. Robson with an awful jump

No jump. Ball was on its way down before he ever started forward.

[War Machine Dawg]

Please give us a free out here. Please!

[Bully13]

damn. fouled STRAIGHT back. Zak ain't fooling them right now. don't like this.

[CadaverDawg]

Shit Zac. Missing badley

[War Machine Dawg]

93 on that one. Adrenaline pumping a little now for zaK.

[maroonmania]

Hope we don't end up regretting blowing so many chances in this game to extend to a big lead.

[CadaverDawg]

They're about to shrink our lead to 2 on 1 pitch

[War Machine Dawg]

This guy is fouling off everything. Hell of an AB.

[AlmostPositive]

"fow-elled back" where did they get this dipshit?

[CadaverDawg]

Gonna walk him

[confucius say]

how many foul balls is that? geez

[CadaverDawg]

Shit

[CadaverDawg]

****ing walk

[confucius say]

great at bat by that kid. great outing houston

[smootness]

Does Houston not have anything but a freaking fastball?

[maroonmania]

You knew where that was going. Zac just can't keep throwing strikes over and over.

[War Machine Dawg]

Walk. Bases juiced. I'm guessing that's it for ZaKKKKKKKKKK

[CadaverDawg]

Now the tying run at the plate. Unreal.

We're about to blow this damn lead. Why leave him in that long after such an outing. Shit

[mstatefan91]

Fuk fuk fuk fuk

[Bucky Dog]

Great outing for Houston!! Let's get a DP for a run here and shut them down bullpen!!

[maroonmania]

Robson picked a horrible time to misplay a lazy fly ball.

[BayouDawg]

great job Zak! Standing ovation well deserved. Don't really understand why they waited til the bases were loaded to make a change though

[MarketingBully]

Dumbest decision all year by Johnson. Could have put in Rigby with two guys on. When Houston doesn't have it he doesn't have it. He didn't have it and should have been taken out before the bases loaded. Hope this doesn't turn into us playing tomorrow.

[War Machine Dawg]

ZaK done, Rigby in. I'd trade a run for 2 here.

[CadaverDawg]

Robson picked a horrible time to misplay a lazy fly ball.

Yep, we may lose this game right here. So many chances to blow it open, and now here we sit

[maroonmania]

Hope Rigby can throw strikes.

[ScoobaDawg]

DAMN GOOD JOB HOUSTON
Now rigby... I'll take a double play ball here.

[War Machine Dawg]

Robson picked a horrible time to misplay a lazy fly ball.

That might wind up being the biggest play, or rather non-play, of the inning.

[mstatefan91]

Let's go Rigby

[ScoobaDawg]

Dumbest decision all year by Johnson. Could have put in Rigby with two guys on. When Houston doesn't have it he doesn't have it. He didn't have it and should have been taken out before the bases loaded. Hope this doesn't turn into us playing tomorrow.

shut the **** up... He had struck out 10 and given up two hits.. You are looking back and trying to act like you knew better. You didnt..

[CadaverDawg]

Big K

[Leroy Jenkins]

Rigby Ks 1st guy on 3 pitches.

[ScoobaDawg]

HUGE k!!!!!

Now roll em

[maroonmania]

Nice strikeout!

[mstatefan91]

DP ball! Come on boys! Fuuuukkkk

[War Machine Dawg]

Rigby K!!!!! 1 away. Let's get 2 now!

[CadaverDawg]

Don't hit him Rigby

[ScoobaDawg]

ANOTHER K!!!! WOW.... get another one...any way possible

[CadaverDawg]

K!

[CadaverDawg]

Don't hit this guy, Rigby

[maroonmania]

Wow, Rigby with a 2nd K.

[mstatefan91]

Let's Fukkin Goooooo!

[War Machine Dawg]

I'll say this: When our pitchers miss, they REALLY miss. Most of them, anyway.

Rigby K x 2!!!!! 2 away!!!

[msstate7]

Wow... Great job rigby

[CadaverDawg]

YES!!!!

Rigby has GIRODOS!!!

[Bully13]

WOW..RIGBY!!!

[smootness]

Holy crap Rigby, what a beast.

[maroonmania]

Awesome job by Rigby!!

[ScoobaDawg]

robson gets the fly out ...INNING OVER!!!!! WOW

[CadaverDawg]

That was so damn big. Rigby, that is some serious stones son

[mstatefan91]

This team has balls again! Love it!

[War Machine Dawg]

Y'all are a little ahead of me now. Dammit. Gonna stop and restart during the break.

Big time stones for Rigby!

[starkvegasdawg]

Bases loaded and no outs and they don't score may have broken their spirit this game. We come out now and even score one run I bet they fold their tent and go home.

[confucius say]

kruger doesnt get enough credit for what he does behind the plate. invaluable back there

[MarketingBully]

And Rigby bails out Johnson. Houston pitched a great game but he didn't have it that inning. Glad Rigby has shown up this weekend.

[BayouDawg]

balls of steel right there!

[mstatefan91]

It's my fault tho guys. I moved seats to get more comfortable. Stupid on my part. I'm back in the floor....

[Duckdog]

Rigby!

[Bucky Dog]

You Debbie Downers need to chill the **** out!!! Great job Rigby.

[CadaverDawg]

Clemson is eliminated. Yes

[CadaverDawg]

It's my fault tho guys. I moved seats to get more comfortable. Stupid on my part. I'm back in the floor....

Tighten up! I'm doing my part, haha

[MarketingBully]

shut the **** up... He had struck out 10 and given up two hits.. You are looking back and trying to act like you knew better. You didnt..

I was screaming he should have taken him out with two men on. Rigby bailed Johnson out there.

[CadaverDawg]

Robson with the weakest 3-4 night in history. Haha

[BayouDawg]

It's my fault tho guys. I moved seats to get more comfortable. Stupid on my part. I'm back in the floor....
Atleast you "owned" it and admitted that "mistakes" were made

[confucius say]

It's my fault tho guys. I moved seats to get more comfortable. Stupid on my part. I'm back in the floor....

selfish bastard**
