[CadaverDawg]

I like the lineup. Still hate Lovelady at 6, and I really wish we could get Vansau & Macnamee in the lineup at the same time somehow though

[HoopsDawg]

I don't understand no Macnamee. He's earned the right to be in the everyday lineup.

[CadaverDawg]

I don't understand no Macnamee. He's earned the right to be in the everyday lineup.

I agree, but now that Poole is hitting who do you replace? I guess starting Vansau vs RHP could give us the option to pinch hit Macnamee if they switch to a lefty at any point

[msstate7]

Not sure vansau vs rhp is upgrade over macnamee vs rhp

[preachermatt83]

Gordon pitching?

[CadaverDawg]

Gordon pitching?

Yep, Billingsley game 2

[state66]

Two full 9 inning games?

[WSOPdawg]

I like the lineup. Still hate Lovelady at 6, and I really wish we could get Vansau & Macnamee in the lineup at the same time somehow though

Seems it would make more sense to move Lovelady down to the 8th hole to take advantage of his bunting in front of Stovall, Jake & Rooker.

I agree

[Percho]

I'm happy Cole found a niche on this team. Good first inning.

[CadaverDawg]

Good inning by Gordon. 2 K's. If he will keep the fastball down in the zone, he can be effective. Would be great to get 5-6 out of him

[WSOPdawg]

Mangum continues to hit the ball hard, he's gonna bust out soon.

[CadaverDawg]

We're teeing off on this guy, but their D is playing incredible through 1

[WSOPdawg]

All right Cole, stop nibbling and pitch the damn ball!

[WSOPdawg]

atta boy, DP 6-4-3.

[msbulldog]

Thank goodness for DP's.

[Dawg61]

Nice fail on both wearing home jerseys

[Brahmabull]

Umpire sucks again!!

[msbulldog]

Dammit!

[CadaverDawg]

That ump should be suspended for that strike 3 call on Lovelady

[Percho]

Why did not Poole hit that 2 - 0 pitch?

[CadaverDawg]

Stop walking people, Cole! Damn I hate a walk

[CadaverDawg]

Why did not Poole hit that 2 - 0 pitch?

It was exactly what you should be sitting on 2-0...a belt high fastball down the middle. And he stood there like a garden gnome

[CadaverDawg]

Another walk. Good God. Walk 9 & 1 to lead off the 3rd....this will 100% lead to 2+ runs

[WSOPdawg]

Crap, he's walked the 1st two to lead off the 3rd.

[CadaverDawg]

1-0 Bama

Walks = Runs

[CadaverDawg]

3-0

****ing walks.

[CadaverDawg]

And it's going to get worse...Plumlee warming up.

Well, hope we can win game 3 in a little while. We needed a sweep, but we aren't winning this one

[MarketingBully]

Cole Gordon is not a Saturday guy. Move his ass to Sunday and let Billingsly start Saturday's.

[CadaverDawg]

It's 1-0 if you throw ****ing strikes Gordon

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I doubt we see Mangum pitch rest of the year.... he made a routine throw from CF to second and grabbed his arm and bent over in pain....

[MarketingBully]

And it's going to get worse...Plumlee warming up.

Well, hope we can win game 3 in a little while. We needed a sweep, but we aren't winning this one

It's frustrating as **** we have to start him. This Alabama explosion is 100% on him because of freaking walks.

[CadaverDawg]

Time for Mangum and Rooker to wake up the bats

[CadaverDawg]

Gridley singles in Rooker after a double, and its 3-1 Bama

[WSOPdawg]

damn, how many lucky-ass web gems are they gonna make on us this weekend? Nice try Vansau.

[MarketingBully]

That Bama outfielder looked like he trapped that ball. Wish we would have challenged it (if you can do such a thing). Hard to catch a ball when your glove is faced down.

[MarketingBully]

damn, how many lucky-ass web gems are they gonna make on us this weekend? Nice try Vansau.

That's three so far and but the outfielder didn't catch the ball he just did a great job selling it and Baseball is one of the only sports where follow through and selling it to the umpire gets you outs.

[WSOPdawg]

Dangit Jake, ball bounced 5 ft in front of plate and u swing???

[WSOPdawg]

All right, Jake picks up his 1st hit of the series and ties the game 3-3. Rooker up with 2 on and 1 out.

[CadaverDawg]

Don't see Rooker fail in situations like that often. Just needed a ground ball or fly ball but he K'd

[MarketingBully]

New ballgame though at 3-3. If Plumlee can give us a few innings, we will be in good shape. If we win this game, I think we will sweep. That is why I think it's big to take this first one. We need to get into their bullpen though.

[msbulldog]

Good job Cody

[CadaverDawg]

Another botched call by the ump...Vansau clearly safe at 1st but called out

[Mjoelner34]

How close was the play at first on the bunt. Apparently we're afraid to show replays on our multi-million dollar scoreboard.

[msbulldog]

SAFE!

[MarketingBully]

Why didn't Cann run out on that call? He was safe by half a step. Terrible call.

[CrazyEyeKilla]

Looked like he was safe.

[MarketingBully]

How close was the play at first on the bunt. Apparently we're afraid to show replays on our multi-million dollar scoreboard.

Safe by half a step wasn't even a tie.

[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady smokes a double! Dawgs lead 4-3!

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief. Bases loaded 1 out for Stovall & Mangum and we get nothing bc we have no plate discipline. Shit

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

what's the rule on running into the ball? automatic out unless a fielder touches it?

[The Federalist Engineer]

That's atlot of smoke for one damn run

[CadaverDawg]

These wasted chances could end up costing us this game or this series. Our big bats have got to step up and at least put the ball in play in these RBI spots

[CadaverDawg]

what's the rule on running into the ball? automatic out unless a fielder touches it?

Yep. Poole should have been watching the ball...not sure what the hell he was doing

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

What happen with the last out with Mangum at the plate last inning?

[CadaverDawg]

Well here we go...Bama has men on 2nd & 3rd with 0 outs. We're going to lose to these clowns bc we can't put the ball in play with a man on 3rd

[CadaverDawg]

What happen with the last out with Mangum at the plate last inning?

Ball hit Poole

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Hell of a job by Plumlee to get out of that inning

[CadaverDawg]

Wow! Plumlee escapes! K, pop up, ground out...great job Plumlee!

Bama says "Hold my beer" when State says nobody is worse with RISP than us!

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

Could be my hate for all things Amory talking but Poole just ain't a playmaker. Has size & speed but no fluidity. About like viagra, makes everything harder than it has to be.

[MarketingBully]

Great job by Plumlee to get out of a 2nd and 3rd situation with no outs with a strikeout, pop up, and ground out. That was awesome! 4-3 bottom of 6th good guys.

[Mjoelner34]

From about 430 feet away in center, it looks like Rooker is pulling his head and looking into the LFL to see where the ball is going before he gets into his swing.

[CadaverDawg]

Plate discipline. We have none. Rooker K's on a slider 2 feet outside and in the dirt

[Saltydog]

has dropped almost 40 points in the last 5 games.

[MarketingBully]

Exactly, that Alabama pitcher has not thrown many strikes without us swinging at them.

[PSYCHO(thesis)DEFENSE]

nice catch by Poole

[MarketingBully]

Plumlee did his job now Self then Price to shut it down and win the series. Johnny Wholestaff to try to sweep.

[CadaverDawg]

Another K on a ball in the dirt

[CadaverDawg]

Our hitting looks like it did in February suddenly

[MarketingBully]

Please start the inning with Self and don't put Plumlee out there to face their 3/4/5 hitters.

[I seen it dawg]

Love this

[WSOPdawg]

3+ IP by Plumlee, great job Payton!

[I seen it dawg]

Great outing by Plumlee. Much needed

[CadaverDawg]

Dammit Barlow. Walks the only hitter he faces in a 1 run game. THROW STRIKES

[MarketingBully]

Why not just start with Self in the eighth? This is just dumb that he can't learn from the same exact situation last week.

[MarketingBully]

Dammit Barlow. Walks the only hitter he faces in a 1 run game. THROW STRIKES

Why not just put Self in the eighth Price in the ninth and you don't have to deal with this shit.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Riley Damn Self

[MarketingBully]

Exactly Self two batters faced and two strikeouts.

[CadaverDawg]

Self = Star

[I seen it dawg]

Why not just start with Self in the eighth? This is just dumb that he can't learn from the same exact situation last week.

Because we are trying to steal an inning and maybe save self and or Price a little. Plumlee got one and Barlow gets his guy we may be able to sneak another out from Barlow. Then we start the 9th with self and try to save Price. Just didn't work that way bc Barlow walked his guy. He got hosed on the first pitch which completely changed the at bat.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dang, I hate boarding a plane with a game still going - we need another run to make flight better

[The Federalist Engineer]

Dammit Barlow. Walks the only hitter he faces in a 1 run game. THROW STRIKES

I think Barlow was instructed to walk the guy, Taylor is Bama's power hitter

[The Federalist Engineer]

Since we can't hit clutch today, be nice to get a wild pitch or a hit batsman

[Bully13]

17

[CadaverDawg]

Our big bats have sucked ass in clutch spots today. Pitiful

[CadaverDawg]

I think Barlow was instructed to walk the guy, Taylor is Bama's power hitter

So we brought a guy in to walk a guy and then pulled him? Doubtful

You go for the series win and don't **** around at this point. A bird in the hand is worth more then two in the bush.

[Mjoelner34]

Last 2 pitches for the 2nd out were absolutely filthy!

[CadaverDawg]

Riley Damn Self!!! Dawgs Win!

Way to bail out the hitters, pitching staff! Hell of a job!

[MarketingBully]

Fifth series in a row for the Bulldogs! Great job to come back from 3-0. Awesome save by Self!

[CadaverDawg]

Another's series win for the good guys, now let's get the sweep!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Self is a superstar in the making. Freshman

[Saltydog]

in the outfield in the 7th.....

[VandelayIndustries]

Self is so so nasty, is he a true freshmen?

[The Federalist Engineer]

So we brought a guy in to walk a guy and then pulled him? Doubtful

Taylor was 3 for 3 and hits HRs, you send in a lefty to throw him nothing-to-good - walk him if he does not offer

I would do it, but I'm just a fan

[CadaverDawg]

Fair point. They coulda told him to try to get him to chase, but if he doesn't, don't let him beat us with one swing. You may be right. I think we brought him in to get him out, but weren't going to throw him anything great over the plate

[WSOPdawg]

Now time to complete the sweep. Let's go Billingsley!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Self is so so nasty, is he a true freshmen?

I believe so, yes

Just filthy. He sure does remind me of Holder out there on the mound. I feel safer with him than Price tbh

[msstate7]

At MBraves' game... when does game 2 start?

[CadaverDawg]

For those interested...the game 3 lineup has been announced and a new thread has been started. Grab your brooms and head over to the other thread

We're going for the sweep?? Hell I signed off when you said it was over at 3-0!! Dammit man!
