South Alabama Baseball Game thread

[preachermatt83]

Is there any way anyone knows of to watch tonight's game?

[BayouDawg]

I think you can watch it free on south als website

[BayouDawg]

Gojags.com or something like that

Correction it's usajaguars.com

[preachermatt83]

Awesome. Thanks man!!

[Boodawg]

Always go check out MSU's website on their baseball schedule page. Go to the game being played, and any broadcast is usually listed to the left. TV, Radio, and Live Stats. There is normally a link of where you can watch it, as is the case with tonight's game.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Quick note that their field's name is "Stanky Field"

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Guess like Troy, S. Bama sells beer at their games. That'd be Yuengling not Yengling.

[Spiderman]

Guess we are crashing their shitty little bush league website.

[Spiderman]

it is so stupid and arcahic to still be held to the S. Baptist mores in the SEC and not serve alcohol at games.

Yea I edited it.. clearly Boo is the one with the brain and I was complementing him.

[ScoobaDawg]

You mean someone motivated to F*cking Figure it out instead of always being dependent on everyone else in life? Pretty damn good.

[ScoobaDawg]

Skelton moves to 3rd on a single by Stovall.
Runners on corner with Magnum up. 1 away

[ScoobaDawg]

damnit hit to 1b and they gun down Skelton at home.

[ScoobaDawg]

damnit, ground out 5-3 to get out of the inning. 0-0 middle 3rd.

[I seen it dawg]

Scoop any lineup and who is on bump?

[I seen it dawg]

Nm got the link going. Plumlee on bump.

Nice job plum. Top 4 0-0

Is it just me, or does their stadium look like they got finished building it and realized they forgot the dugouts?

[I seen it dawg]

Lol jag coach giving them the business over mac getting hit. 2 on 1 out for us

[ScoobaDawg]

Is it just me, or does their stadium look like they got finished building it and realized they forgot the dugouts?


Yea something is weird about them... very short and wide.

[klong-dog]

Holy cow he is a K machine!!

[I seen it dawg]

No score. 2 dogshit at bats with 2 in scoring position by Poole and Belmont. Got to be better than that.

[bulldogcountry1]

Poole is consistent.

[ScoobaDawg]

Lol jag coach giving them the business over mac getting hit. 2 on 1 out for us

Damnit... 2 on... runners at 2nd and 3rd and we get a K and groundout. Still 0-0 middle 4th.
Ford in to pitch now. Vansau in for Poole.

Plumlee 3 Ip, 1 hit, 2 bb, 4k's on 54 pitches.

[BulldogtheMS]

Poole is struggling with the slider. He's got to get that figured out

[I seen it dawg]

Great outing by Plumlee. Poole got jerked bc his little ass didn't run when he struck out on a ball in the dirt. He deserves to sit his ass on the bench. Very encouraging to see Ford. He could be big for us down the stretch.

[ScoobaDawg]

3 up 3 down including 1 k. to the 5th we go.

[I seen it dawg]

1-2-3 for Ford. Welcome back kid.

[bulldogcountry1]

If Ford can be productive, that would be a big shot in the arm.

[maroonmania]

The back end of our order seems to keep getting worse rather than better.

[I seen it dawg]

We are struggling with our intensity at the plate tonite. Understandable from this wkd.

[GTHOM]

Is it just me, or does their stadium look like they got finished building it and realized they forgot the dugouts?

THE STANK

[GTHOM]

Quick note that their field's name is "Stanky Field"

THEEEE STANKKKKKKKKK

[ScoobaDawg]

Barton in for Ford. 2 on. 1 away

Ford gave up back to back walks. USA popped up a bunt directly to rooker for the one out.

[I seen it dawg]

This ump behind the plate is ****ing horrible

[ScoobaDawg]

Barton hasn't been close. another walk. bases loaded

[ScoobaDawg]

Crap. 1-0 ...

[Skydawg1]

We're in deep doo.

[maroonmania]

Good things always happen when you walk the bases loaded.***

[ScoobaDawg]

and another run.. "infield" single for the rbi 2-0

[ScoobaDawg]

DAMNIT LUKE... inning should be over but he goes 5-3 and they score again. 3-0

[Skydawg1]

Lineout to Rook. Inning over. 3-0

[bulldogcountry1]

Why didn't Alexander go home there?

[maroonmania]

Pitiful inning.

[ScoobaDawg]

a line drive rocket thank goodness for Rooker. 3-0 after 5

[I seen it dawg]

Poole and Belmont showing out tonite

[maroonmania]

Why didn't Alexander go home there?

Belmont doing work.

[Spiderman]

Listening to the game on 105.9, and I'm usually either on threre or z 106.7.

And I don't care if it's nice, mean or if I go to hell, but I hope John Morgan ,of Morgan and Morgan, dies a horrible death from Butt Aids

[ScoobaDawg]

Rooker 0-3 with 2 k's tonight

[Skydawg1]

Belmont doing work.He thought there were 2 outs...?

[Activated Alpha]

Glad we are still performing like a top team in the SEC during our midweek games

[maroonmania]

Offense sucking big time at the moment. 1 run now in the last 15 innings.

[maroonmania]

He thought there were 2 outs...?

Apparently so.

[ScoobaDawg]

Mid 6th still 3-0 USA

[bulldogcountry1]

Hot garbage

[ScoobaDawg]

Harrison Bragg takes over at 3B & Brant Blaylock is now in at LF

Stovall can't come up with the routine grounder and runner on at 1st base now.

[Bully13]

As negan would say, "this is what shit tastes like".

[ScoobaDawg]

4-6-3 no damage. 3-0 USA after 6.

[ScoobaDawg]

USA pitcher at carrer high 74 pitches. Come on guys. get some runs off him now.

[ScoobaDawg]

Barlow pinch hit for E MacNamee.

Barlow with the lead off walk

[I seen it dawg]

Bragg is feast or famine. It seems.

[Activated Alpha]

Announcer just said SA pitcher coming in to get out of a jam. We have just 1 guy on with 2 outs...with Skelton coming up. That's a jam?

[HoopsDawg]

Bragg is feast or famine. It seems.

He should have 30 more AB's at this point.

[HoopsDawg]

Barlow pinch hit for E MacNamee.

Barlow with the lead off walk

I just don't get the pinch hitert there with a pitcher. MacNamee has shown enough promise that he needs to be in the lineup every day. Give him as many AB's as possible.

[maroonmania]

Now 1 run in 16 innings.

[HoopsDawg]

Now 1 run in 16 innings.

If Mangum and Rooker go 0-6 we are in deep shit.

[msstate7]

Offense on the way, jolly in at 1b

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Now 1 run in 16 innings.

I was worried about this game and the Bama series coming into today, now I feel really nervous about the Bama series.

[ScoobaDawg]

A Mahoney to p for Jacob Barton.
H Stovall to ss.
H Vansau to lf.
B Blaylock to cf.
Ryan Gridley to 2b.
Brent Rooker to rf.
Trey Jolly to 1b for Jake Mangum.

[Bulldogg31]

Cannizzaro waving the flag or looking for a spark?

H Stovall to ss.
H Vansau to lf.
B Blaylock to cf.
Ryan Gridley to 2b.
Brent Rooker to rf.
Trey Jolly to 1b for Jake Mangum.

Did I miss a USA 5-spot or something? Why are we quitting? I hate giving up when the game is in reach.

[HoopsDawg]

A Mahoney to p for Jacob Barton.
H Stovall to ss.
H Vansau to lf.
B Blaylock to cf.

What's going on? Is he making a point or something?

[Activated Alpha]

Just don't think we care to win this game...

[ScoobaDawg]

runners on the corners for usa. 1 away

[ScoobaDawg]

bases loaded. walked the cleanup hitter. 1 away

[ScoobaDawg]

nobody up in the bullpen either...

[ScoobaDawg]

sac fly to cf. 4-0

[I seen it dawg]

What's going on? Is he making a point or something?

Got to get some guys ABs. Not gonna do it on the wkds.

[HoopsDawg]

Got to get some guys ABs. Not gonna do it on the wkds.

Guys like Barlow?

[I seen it dawg]

nobody up in the bullpen either...

He's in to burn then. He just needs to eat up the last 4 outs and save some arms. Just one of those games. They happen.

[I seen it dawg]

Guys like Barlow?

Apparently so. And he had a better AB than Belmont Bragg or Poole have had the last 2 weeks.

[msstate7]

Guys like Barlow?

And jolly at 1b... yeah, gotta get him some work

[ScoobaDawg]

get's the K to minimize damage. 4-0 after 7

[I seen it dawg]

I have a feeling Barlow and jolly have been performing at the plate in practice enough that they've earned a game AB.

[HoopsDawg]

To me, our lineup should be:

1. Mangum, CF
2. Rooker, 1B
3. Gridley, SS
4. Brown, LF
5. MacNamee, RF
6. Stovall, 2B
7. Bragg, DH vs Lefties-Vansau DH vs Righties
8. Belmont, 3B
9. Lovelady/Skelton, C

That's my lineup every day.

[ScoobaDawg]

Stovall reaches on a error by 2b for a leadoff runner

[ScoobaDawg]

LET'S GO Jollllyyyy

[Bully13]

This is what shit tastes like

[HoopsDawg]

And jolly at 1b... yeah, gotta get him some work

Now Trey Jolly at bat instead of Mangum. Crazy!

[Skydawg1]

runners at 2nd and 3rd nobody out. CF dropped flyball.

[I seen it dawg]

To me, our lineup should be:

1. Mangum, CF
2. Rooker, 1B
3. Gridley, SS
4. Brown, LF
5. MacNamee, RF
6. Stovall, 2B
7. Bragg, DH vs Lefties-Vansau DH vs Righties
8. Belmont, 3B
9. Lovelady/Skelton, C

That's my lineup every day.

I can live with that but I keep Stovall at the bottom. I like having his bat down there to turn the lineup over to RBI guys. Belmont and catcher are dead outs. Stovall in 9 hole gives us a better chance of getting something going with Mangum with a runner on.

[msstate7]

Wow... lol

[MaroonFlounder]

Cann gave up on this one.

[ScoobaDawg]

Wp. stovall to 2nd. 3-1 count for jolly

[HoopsDawg]

Oh my gosh. 2 errors.

[ScoobaDawg]

CF DROPS IT!!! a sure out to cf by jolly. Runners on the corners for rooker!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Good swing by jolly and he hustles into 2nd.

[ScoobaDawg]

CF catches it this time half way on the warning track. DAMN. 4-1 usa 1 away

[I seen it dawg]

Cann gave up on this one.

Big picture. We are in a spot where the wkds are more important and it takes everything we got to win 2/3. Mid week at this point has to be this way. Just the way it is. The guys playing have to compete. Maybe we find a bat in all this or create some flexibility in our defensive lineup.

And I promise you Cann expects these guys to compete to win.

[ScoobaDawg]

Sac fly line out to lf by brown. 4-2 usa 2outs

[ScoobaDawg]

4-2 going to btm 8th. Blaylock K's

[I seen it dawg]

Jesus Blaylock the catcher barely caught that.

Guys want to play...when the chance is given got to produce.

[Activated Alpha]

Jolly had a better AB then Blaylock, wtf?

[ScoobaDawg]

freaking USA just played a clip of us missing the FG this year against them....

[I seen it dawg]

Well.....

Can't really blame them, lol.

[maroonmania]

Blaylock K's

Shocker

[ScoobaDawg]

BOOM backwards K. 1 away

[sandwolf]

freaking USA just played a clip of us missing the FG this year against them.... Haha, that is actually pretty funny.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit Blaylock we may have found another arm

[MaroonFlounder]

Blaylock does nothing but strike out. Why?

[ScoobaDawg]

Bragg playing back can't make a good throw. bunt single

[MaroonFlounder]

Blaylock on both ends of the Ks

[ScoobaDawg]

Damnit... stole base to 2b. stole base to 3rd. throw it into lf. scores. 5-2 usa

[MaroonFlounder]

The personnel usage in this baseball game is straight out of the TWILIGHT ZONE.

[I seen it dawg]

Bad throw but you got to eat that ball Bragg. Can't let that get to the OF. Maybe part of the reason he can't get on the field, Roger ****ing dorn ole. Terrible.

[ScoobaDawg]

and a walk...

[Skydawg1]

Yes, I think we are in "Win the SEC or bust" mode. Fine by me. We only have one more midweek game after this one, not counting the game in Pearl vs Ole Miss, and it's at home vs Troy. I think our RPI can survive tonight. It cannot, however, survive Bama taking this weekends' series.

[I seen it dawg]

Ok maybe we don't have an arm. Got to get it in the area code

[maroonmania]

Seems so easy to understand. Not sure why some can't

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

When's the last time our catchers have caught someone stealing? People aren't running at will on us but I don't think we ever actually get them when they do try.

[ScoobaDawg]

and a caught stealing. good job. 2 away

[I seen it dawg]

Nice pick grid. Give us another out and let's see if we can scrounge something up

[ScoobaDawg]

single,sb. jags are timing blaylock perfectly.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol this plate umpire is straight garbage

K's to end the inning. to the top of the 9th. down 5-2

Who knows who is batting...

[I seen it dawg]

Let's go Skelton know it's ****ing 2 strikes. Embarrassing.

[ScoobaDawg]

K Pilkington pinch hit for A Mahoney.

[msstate7]

Pilk with an AB. This is just stupid

[ScoobaDawg]

Pilk K's... WTF is he batting for

[ScoobaDawg]

price now PH for bragg WTF... final batter of game

[ScoobaDawg]

PRICE SINGLES to rf hahaha

[msstate7]

Pilk K's... WTF is he batting for

Dumb. He's starting Thursday night. Anything could happen there... hit by pitch or pull a hamstring running to base

[I seen it dawg]

Yeah I like getting guys ABs but Pilk and Price are a little much.

[I seen it dawg]

Lol and Price smokes a ball into the gap.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Pilk with an AB. This is just stupid

I 100% understand why we're not concerned with this game, but I would at least like to get actual hitters some ABs

[ScoobaDawg]

Prices slips rounding 1b.
Skelton K;s to end the game. 5-2

[Activated Alpha]

That was strange

[I seen it dawg]

Bragg doesn't deserve to hit again after the Roger dorn play in the 8th

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I 100% understand why we're not concerned with this game, but I would at least like to get actual hitters some ABs

Like Bragg. Maybe Cann's pissed about our intensity or focus or something of the sort

[msstate7]

Listened to radio... what'd he do?

[I seen it dawg]

Like Bragg. Maybe Cann's pissed about our intensity or focus or something of the sort

I would have hit for Bragg. Just like he yanked Poole for not running after striking out on dirtball. Bragg just straight whiffed on a bounced throw on a steal and never attempted to get in front of the ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Listened to radio... what'd he do?

Roger Dorn

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

ok so I tuned in during the 7th stretch & I admit I know very little about the strategic side of baseball but WTH did I just watch?

Did we rest the whole 2 deep?

That was ugly. I bet we have a spirited practice tomorrow.

I'm afraid we're just that thin right now to be honest. I think we are anyway.

[I seen it dawg]

There was some of that. But guys need game at bats at some point and we needed to sit as much of our wkd pitching as possible. Plumlee pitched good and we had a Parker ford sighting so that's good news.

[I seen it dawg]

That was ugly. I bet we have a spirited practice tomorrow.

And a couple of guys (Poole,Bragg) called out. I damn sure would

[ScoobaDawg]

ok so I tuned in during the 7th stretch & I admit I know very little about the strategic side of baseball but WTH did I just watch?

Quite simply Cann gave up on the game when we were down 2 runs.. it is what it is.. but that sucks...

[Todd4State]

I take it back. I think Cann just did it because of the shitty effort to make a point.

[Todd4State]

100% agree.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I would have hit for Bragg. Just like he yanked Poole for not running after striking out on dirtball. Bragg just straight whiffed on a bounced throw on a steal and never attempted to get in front of the ball.

Bragg got benched in a game right before SEC play after coming in late, just like today. Seems like he took his time on a throw to first allowing the runner To beat out the throw and straight up made a throwing error in the same inning. McQuarey pinch hit for him the next inning.

[I seen it dawg]

Quite simply Cann gave up on the game when we were down 2 runs.. it is what it is.. but that sucks...

I view it differently. Have to see if guys can perform when given the opportunity. If not they can't be expected to be used in the wkds. These are sec baseball players so they need to be expected to do something when given the chance. If not maybe they don't need to be here. But you don't really know until you put them in a game. And that can't happen on the wkds unless it's a blowout which we don't play any.

And people want him to get consistent at bats...he may be one of the guys that won't be around after June. With Cann if you can't put forth effort, at a minimum, you won't be around. Got no time for that shit. We will find someone else that's as good or better than you that will at least put forth the effort we require. Pretty simple.

I get your point and at first agreed. then I remembered the score. We needed to get our offense going for this weekend not plug and play other pieces.
But we can agree to disagree. Cann is the coach and he is doing damn good.

So he was making a point. I will say this, our hitters from Mangum on down have to stop chasing pitches a foot out of the zone.

I admit I've wanted him to have more chances thinking (maybe hoping) that the previous time he got pulled was just a one-off. I was listening to the radio tonight so I was unaware of what he did today, but I'm changing my stance on him if that kind of effort is a consistent thing with him.

Cannizaro on radio said he sent a message to team w substitutions. Said we weren't ready to play.

[MarketingBully]

When you get down to it, it is absolutely amazing the coaching job that Coach Cann and Henderson are doing. Being 25-14 with who we have is dang amazing.

[I seen it dawg]

Yep and I'm afraid even Rooker is getting a little too happy at the plate. He will reign their ass in.

Agree 100%. Truth is, 39 games is not a huge sample size in baseball. Hopefully we can keep beating the odds.

But I heard Bragg was better option than Belmont

[basedog]

Motivation is a wonderful thing.

[HoopsDawg]

But I heard Bragg was better option than Belmont

There were a couple of posters that said that, but not many. Personally, I wanted him to DH more.

[Tripp McNeely]

So, we're heading to b8 at South Alabama down 4-2 and they play the last 2 minutes of our football game against them on their Jumbotron in between innings...well played Jags...well played!

[HoopsDawg]

Motivation is a wonderful thing.

I hope that we weren't ready to play. It may be that we just can't hit the baseball. Mangum and Rooker had an off night on the same night and it got ugly.

[MagicDawg]

I guess the silver lining is that there will certainly be room on the CL sports front page for Mississippi State Baseball news tomorrow, am I right?

[Todd4State]

I agree. I think if you play Bragg it probably is best at DH.

I hope that we weren't ready to play. It may be that we just can't hit the baseball. Mangum and Rooker had an off night on the same night and it got ugly.

Honestly, I think this was...

We're on the road at place we didn't want to be playing a game we didn't want to be at. Our guys were checked out mentally tonight. You then compound it by a thin roster and you get what we got tonight.

And that's unacceptable. But I think Cann will take care of it and I'm looking forward to us playing very well this weekend.

We're not a good hitting ballclub the last few games. Someone besides Rooker has to step up...looking at you bottom of the lineup.

There were a couple of posters that said that, but not many. Personally, I wanted him to DH more.

For this year, that should absolutely be his role. Work on fielding in off-season.

But I heard Bragg was better option than Belmont

Belmont is 4/27 the last 7 games- thats .148. My Grandmother is a better option

If your grandmother can play the hot corner, put her ass in. Or maybe she could DH for Belmont

That's true but South Carolina has a really, really good pitching staff too. Clark Schmidt and Will Crowe are both rated top 50 draft prospects by MLB.com. I didn't like our chances there because of that and it being on the road. But fortunately we won two. My guess is looking at the stats for some of the pitching staffs coming up we'll see some improvement. Nonetheless you are correct, others have to step up.


Like I said I think tonight our guys couldn't get themselves up and just didn't perform at the plate. Which is unacceptable. And I think it's just a matter of going back to basics.
