[msbulldog]

Thanks Cdawg, gonna be a good one. Caller on 105 said cars were already lined up 1 hour ago.

[CadaverDawg]

Thanks Cdawg, gonna be a good one. Caller on 105 said cars were already lined up 1 hour ago.

Good to hear. Hope it's packed, and hope we win

[The Federalist Engineer]

We need Denver to be strong tonight and give us 7 shutout innings, we need a complete staff for Auburn...a bulldog blow out would be perfect tonight.

[CadaverDawg]

We need Denver to be strong tonight and give us 7 shutout innings, we need a complete staff for Auburn...a bulldog blow out would be perfect tonight.

Ha, 7 would be insane! I hope like hell he can go 7...we win easily if he does. I'd be satisfied with 3-4+

[WSOPdawg]

cool, we got one of the best calling our game tonight in Ben McDonald. Let's go Dogs!!!

[civildawg]

One of the announcers keeps calling it trustman park

[Big4Dawg]

Let's hope he can get out of the 1st

[msstate7]

Might wanna get the pen up...

[Saltydog]

NT

[smootness]

Why go to 2nd there?

[msstate7]

Why go to 2nd there?

Thought he could turn 2 I suppose.

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

That burns me up. Get ahead 0-2 and then continuous stream of junk out of zone

[VandelayIndustries]

Mcquarry and the walks UGH

[RocketDawg]

He's a little wild (to say the least). But he somehow gets out of the inning.

[CadaverDawg]

Lol he threw 30 pitches in the 1st and didn't give up a run

[starkvegasdawg]

And we're out of it.

[WSOPdawg]

Out of it with no damage.

[CadaverDawg]

McQuary still needs to learn how to "pitch", instead of "throw". He has good stuff, but no command.

[CadaverDawg]

I should turn it off til the 6th...we don't decide to show up at the plate until then

[Saltydog]

shit.....

[msstate7]

Ugly start... still 0-0, but this doesn't look promising

[MarketingBully]

Ump is expanding the zone naturally.

[Activated Alpha]

How many strikeouts do we have now through 2 innings?

[msstate7]

Speedster lovelady with infield single haha

[MarketingBully]

How many strikeouts do we have now through 2 innings?

Two.

[MarketingBully]

If McQuery can settle down and throw strikes, we will be fine. We have a much better offense then Ole Miss does.

[Activated Alpha]

Two.

Ok, just tuned in. McDonald said he had an easy 1st so didn't know if we struck out multiple times as well

[MarketingBully]

I hate when an ump expands the strike zone because the catcher sets up outside. If the ball is off the plate, it's a ****ing ball.

[MarketingBully]

McQuery needs a quick inning here.

[Percho]

I swear it looks like an accident to me when he throws a strike.

[VandelayIndustries]

4 walks

[MarketingBully]

I hate umps. Ole Miss got that call last half inning.

[msstate7]

Om can't hit the ball and we just keep letting them walk

[Percho]

Has no clue where he is throwing the ball.

[MarketingBully]

Can we depend on any pitcher to throw strikes? That is the biggest reason why we have to come from behind a lot.

[Saltydog]

that sucks for them......Potential first round guy there too......

[CadaverDawg]

McQuary just likes a challenge*

[MarketingBully]

that sucks for them......Potential first round guy there too......

Yep going to have Tommy John surgery. Can we get rid of travel ball?

[MarketingBully]

McQuary just likes a challenge*

If he'd freaking throw strikes, we would be fine and he could get himself into the sixth or seventh inning. With his pitch count where it is, he will be lucky to go four.

[Mjoelner34]

Good thing we pitched around Kessinger.** He's batting about a buck fifty.

[msstate7]

that sucks for them......Potential first round guy there too......

Sucks for more than just the kid and South Carolina. South Carolina plays Kentucky and lsu coming up. I think lsu and certainly Kentucky are still very much in the race with us for sec title.

[CadaverDawg]

Ha, 7 would be insane! I hope like hell he can go 7...we win easily if he does. I'd be satisfied with 3-4+

Like I said earlier

[msstate7]

Get it started, hunter

[CadaverDawg]

Jake "whatever you throw, I'm swinging" Mangum

[CadaverDawg]

You'd think with the hurt hand, Jake would try patience at the plate

[Saltydog]

when there was nothing but Park and Rec. ball.

[MarketingBully]

Rooker and Mangum better start hitting if we want to do anything this year.

[msstate7]

If rooker doesn't warm back up, I think we about to fade in sec standings

[CadaverDawg]

Rooker, they aren't going to throw you strikes with an open base! Take the walk or hit a MISTAKE PITCH....don't chase their unintentional walks

[WSOPdawg]

I guess Denver is just destined to pitch from behind all night long.

[CadaverDawg]

McQuary is consistent....consistently down 2-0 to every hitter

[msstate7]

Rooker, they aren't going to throw you strikes with an open base! Take the walk or hit a MISTAKE PITCH....don't chase their unintentional walks

And hunter don't steal with rooker batting... rooker can drive you in from first and rooker won't see anything good with 1b open. Dumb running there imo

[MarketingBully]

Rooker, they aren't going to throw you strikes with an open base! Take the walk or hit a MISTAKE PITCH....don't chase their unintentional walks

He let a fastball go by that went right down the middle. This Ole Miss pitcher is daring him to hit his fastball. This does not bode well if both Mangum and Rooker go on a slide.

[Bully13]

If rooker doesn't warm back up, I think we about to fade in sec standings

Rookers gotta start going opposite direction on outside pitches. Can't be trying to pull everything.

[Bully13]

Looks like word is out on how to pitch him. He needs to adjust.

[MarketingBully]

Looks like word is out on how to pitch him. He needs to adjust.

Shit they are just straight up challenging him with fastballs. He just isn't hitting them.

[Percho]

Rookers gotta start going opposite direction on outside pitches. Can't be trying to pull everything.

Been trying to pull outside pitches for a week or two.

[WSOPdawg]

scoreless after 3, we got'm right where we want them.

[MaroonFlounder]

Denver is living a charmed life.

[Saltydog]

has been lucky up til this point.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Got to give him credit. He's been in a bind all game and has grinded it out so far.

[WSOPdawg]

Atta boy Denver, he starting to settle in now.

[msstate7]

He's made some really good pitches to get out of jams. Wish he'd make those pitches before he gets in trouble

[MarketingBully]

Love McQuary's breaking pitch and fastball. If he can get his change up working, he will be a great pitcher for us.

[msstate7]

Luke has had 2 good swings with nothing to show for it.

[msstate7]

Rooker snap out of it big guy

[WSOPdawg]

Rooker snap out of it big guy

He's due. No time like the present.

[Activated Alpha]

Well it was nice talking about a triple crown with Rooker while it lasted

[WSOPdawg]

Booooo-yah!!!!!!! Rooker!!!!!! 3-run bomb!

[RocketDawg]

Did he just snap out of it? :)

[msstate7]

Atta boy, rooker... we gonna miss this kid. Trustmark is a tough park to hit it out too

[MarketingBully]

BOOM number 17!

[WSOPdawg]

and Gridley made a run for back-to-back HRs but out at the track.

[msstate7]

That's a hr in probably every other park we play in this year

[Dawg61]

What a STUD!!!

[MarketingBully]

Man, if we can win the SEC get Cann the COY and Rooker the POY with an SEC triple crown, I'd take that even if we didn't do well in the post season.

[Saltydog]

nt

[WSOPdawg]

3-0 Dogs after 5, bring it home boys!

[VandelayIndustries]

Hell of a job by McQuarry to go 5 scoreless

[MaroonFlounder]

Denver over 100 pitches. Pull him? He's in position to get win #1 as a Bulldog.

[Mjoelner34]

Well we got hosed by the umps twice in a row there. First, Fortes was off the bag when he caught the throw from Kessinger then Lovelady's ball was foul.

ETA: Make that THREE times!

[I seen it dawg]

Why go to 2nd there?

Really? He went there to get an out and keep force in play.

[WSOPdawg]

Ump missed that damn call, Tanner was in there.

[MarketingBully]

lol he was safe at second. The one sport where Umps can consistently get calls wrong and nothing happens.

[MarketingBully]

Over the past week, I'd say we have gotten screwed by the second base ump 5-6 times.

[Dallas_Dawg]

lol he was safe at second. The one sport where Umps can consistently get calls wrong and nothing happens.

Safe all day. Did anybody make out what that cocksucking announced said at the end?
One announcer said we had a case to complain and the other said "doesn't matter, _________"
Sounded almost like he didn't think he was live

[mstatefan91]

Horrible call. Tanner was easily safe. Some questionable calls tonight.

[I seen it dawg]

Love reading the board 6 innings in when we don't score 12 in the first.

[msstate7]

Good Lord, mangum.

[Saltydog]

Let's don't blow it here.

[MarketingBully]

Mangum.....

[WSOPdawg]

that was just damn dumb of Jake, no reason to throw and he had no chance of getting him. God he makes some boneheaded plays, now another runner at 2nd.

[CadaverDawg]

Why would they leave him in there at 110 pitches after the double? Poor coaching decision

[I seen it dawg]

Jerk Mangums ass out of the game right now. That was total little league dogshit. What the ****

[Bothrops]

Denver McQuary did good tonight.

[msstate7]

Is that finger on mangum's glove or throwing hand?

[WSOPdawg]

Nice job, Denver.

[smootness]

Really? He went there to get an out and keep force in play.

Yeah, I was saying instead of going to 3rd. That seemed like the obvious play.

[WSOPdawg]

throwing hand

[I seen it dawg]

Get mcquarry ready to throw Sunday vs AM.

[msstate7]

throwing hand

I would think the word is about to be out to run on mangum.

[msstate7]

That's a DP ball, mangum, if you hit cut off man

[I seen it dawg]

I would think the word is about to be out to run on mangum.

Everybody knows he's hurt. What he just did was dumb. No reason to not just lob it in to 2nd. Renfroe doesn't throw that guy out.

[msstate7]

They're running on mangum. That ball was a good throw though

[MarketingBully]

Mangum again....

[WSOPdawg]

That's a DP ball, mangum, if you hit cut off man

yep, we should be out of the inning up 3-1.

[I seen it dawg]

Get your head out of your ass jake. You have completely butt****ed this inning.

[MarketingBully]

At least one of those runs was on Mangum....

[Activated Alpha]

Update?

[I seen it dawg]

We are up 3-2 T7. Rooker hit a 3 run bomb

[WSOPdawg]

Update?

3-2 dogs top of 7th

[msstate7]

So much for om playing for series this weekend. This is their best reliever

[mstatefan91]

2nd play was on Gridley as much as Mangum. The ball was in there in time. Gridley didn't glove it.

[Ari Gold]

Hopefully someone besdies Cann lit Mangum's ass when got back in the dugout..

[I seen it dawg]

Short hopped him bc he loafed and got surprised

[I seen it dawg]

Hopefully someone besdies Cann lit Mangum's ass when got back in the dugout..

You would think...

[Dawgcap]

This is a big mid week game for both! Gotta battle now

[msstate7]

I've watched a lot of OM games this year and this douche on the mound is one of the best relievers I've seen this year.

[The Federalist Engineer]

We have much trouble with Feigl

[I seen it dawg]

Swing at shit first pitch again. Tired of watching that shit.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I've watched a lot of OM games this year and this douche on the mound is one of the best relievers I've seen this year.

Mostly against us, he has a busher ERA, but is lights out on us

[Dawgcap]

Great play on Mangum

[I seen it dawg]

3-2 us B7

[MarketingBully]

Do umps/refs like to **** us in every sport? Another bang bang play that goes the other team's way.

[mstatefan91]

That's a good pitcher

[mstatefan91]

Do umps/refs like to **** us in every sport? Another bang bang play that goes the other team's way.

Pitcher beat Mangum by a foot. That was a good call

[MaroonFlounder]

The 1-run lead is gonna have to hold up. We ain't gonna do shit with this guy.

[mstatefan91]

Son of a bitch

[MarketingBully]

Pitcher beat Mangum by a foot. That was a good call

If he had called him safe, no one would have flinched. It was a very bang bang play.

[mstatefan91]

If he had called him safe, no one would have flinched. It was a very bang bang play.

Get upset about it all you want but I'm not gonna get on an ump for making the right call. Even if it goes against us.

I will ride one for the wrong call against us though.

[msstate7]

Mostly against us, he has a busher ERA, but is lights out on us

4 something ERA, you right. Every time I see the kid he's shuting everyone out. His k rate is good

[Dawgcap]

Not really. He was out

[mstatefan91]

One away and one on first. Let's go

[mstatefan91]

Wild pitch. Stolen base. One out. Runner on second.

[MarketingBully]

If Lovelady throws that to second, we nail the guy at second. He didn't even make it to second.

[WSOPdawg]

jeepers

[MarketingBully]

Holy shit. Key stone cops.

[I seen it dawg]

OM 1sr and 3rd 1 out. Barlow in to face lefty

[MarketingBully]

So Lovelady chooses not to throw a guy out at second who slides and never makes it to second so he would have been tagged out. Bortles was the guy who went to second. Now runners at the corners with 1 down because of a Hunter Stovall bobble.

[MarketingBully]

Troy beat Auburn.

[WSOPdawg]

C'mon Barlow, need a K here.

[Dawgcap]

Holy shit. Key stone cops.

It's ugly but the keystone cops would be down 6-8 by now. Time for a dp

[I seen it dawg]

Nm

[I seen it dawg]

Troy beat Auburn.

Happens. Doesn't mean shit for the wkd

[WSOPdawg]

Way to go Dogs!!! On to the 8th up 3-2.

[I seen it dawg]

Haha attaboy Barlow. 6-4-3 out of the inning. T8 up 3-2

[The Federalist Engineer]

DP on Ole Miss! Yes! - It just sounds magical, "DP and Ole Miss" right next to "Lethal Injection and Ole Miss"

[Dawgcap]

Yessss!!!

[MarketingBully]

Happens. Doesn't mean shit for the wkd

Oh I know just thought it was relevant since we play them next.

[mstatefan91]

Big double play

[I seen it dawg]

It is

[MarketingBully]

Nice! And Cann makes another right move bringing in Barlow. Bianco thought he would be cute and Cann still outcoached him lol.

[The Federalist Engineer]

The OM pitcher is a Tommy John recovery kid

[Dawgcap]

Nice! And Cann makes another right move bringing in Barlow. Bianco thought he would be cute and Cann still outcoached him lol.

Coaching the keystone cops is tough

[WSOPdawg]

Allright, leadoff double by Rooker. Let's get some insurance.

[MarketingBully]

Lol pitching to Rooker with the game on the line. Lol.

[Ari Gold]

That's on Bianco batting that shitbird 42 he is the DH. You PH for him there . I would have jerked his ass in Inning 1 swinging at the 2-0 bases loaded pitch that was in on his hands..
t

[msstate7]

I hate this. Gridley can advance rooker without bunting... he might drive em in

[The Federalist Engineer]

Why bunt, runner in scoring position...playing for the wild pitch?

[WSOPdawg]

Damn, the umps missed another one and this time its in our favor.

[Dawgcap]

Out!

[Mjoelner34]

Well, umps still owe us a couple. Stevie Wonder umping at 2nd.

[WSOPdawg]

Gridley!!! That's give the TCUN fans something to bitch about. 4-2 Dogs!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Haha **** you shitbirds

[msstate7]

That's why you don't bunt gridley, cann

[MarketingBully]

Out!

You enjoying trying to troll me? Lol, won't work because we are up 4-2.

[The Federalist Engineer]

O.T. Mike Bianco does not look 49-years-old, looks more like 59

[RocketDawg]

Over the past week, I'd say we have gotten screwed by the second base ump 5-6 times.

Just got payback on the earlier call.

[mstatefan91]

There you go marketingbully.

Missed call by an ump leads to an RBI

[WSOPdawg]

That's why you don't bunt gridley, cann

Yep, u got your 3, 4 & 5 hitters coming up with no outs and Rooker on 2nd. Why give an out? Hit away.

[MarketingBully]

Well, umps still owe us a couple. Stevie Wonder umping at 2nd.

Agreed.

[MarketingBully]

There you go marketingbully.

Missed call by an ump leads to an RBI

Yeah, I'm loving this shit.

[I seen it dawg]

Why bunt, runner in scoring position...playing for the wild pitch?

To have him at third with one out late in game it's a good move.

[I seen it dawg]

That's why you don't bunt gridley, cann

Bunt was the right call.

[msstate7]

Yep, u got your 3, 4 & 5 hitters coming up with no outs and Rooker on 2nd. Why give an out? Hit away.

Cann has for the most part pushed all the right buttons this year, but I don't like his allegiance to bunting a runner from 2nd to 3rd in the middle of the lineup

[mstatefan91]

Their catcher does have a good arm. Been impressive defensively.

[West Tn Dawg]

I hate this. Gridley can advance rooker without bunting... he might drive em in

Good Call!

[MarketingBully]

Let's bat em around boys!

[msstate7]

Nice, Cody

[WSOPdawg]

way to go Cody Brownnnnnn-n-n-n-n-n!

[Dawgcap]

You enjoying trying to troll me? Lol, won't work because we are up 4-2.

Wasn't trolling just didn't agree that we played like the keystone cops and we're getting screwed.

[mstatefan91]

Bunt for a single. Runners on first and second. No outs for the good guys.

[I seen it dawg]

Worst group of umpires I've seen all yr

[msstate7]

Official scorer is a clown

[shrimp]

Brant Blaylock looks like a young Papelbon.

[I seen it dawg]

Their catcher is ****ing good.

[mstatefan91]

That was not an error

[Mjoelner34]

Worst group of umpires I've seen all yr

This past weekend was pretty damn bad.

[msstate7]

Their catcher is ****ing good.

His bat is really bad, but he's pro level on defense. He wouldn't be in college if he could hit

[I seen it dawg]

Vansau needs a lot of work

[msstate7]

Vansau needs a lot of work

We bunted gridley and let vansau swing away. If you wanna advance runners, bunt vansau

[WSOPdawg]

Damn these umps are terrible... they must be using basketball refs.

[msstate7]

lol these umps

[MarketingBully]

Lol, that swipe wasn't even close at third. They haven't gotten many of the close calls right.

[mstatefan91]

Missed call again and this one goes against us. Horrible crew

[Skydawg1]

We bunted gridley and let vansau swing away. If you wanna advance runners, bunt vansauYes, bunt Vansau. Oh, and Gridley was safe. Tit for tat.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Why risk stealing 3rd? You need a hit and you don't have Vince Coleman or Ricky Henderson stealing the base?

Someone smarter in baseball explain this to me

[mstatefan91]

Missed call against us and the commentators laugh it off. Missed call against TSUN , and they go on about it for a good 3 minutes. Typical

[WSOPdawg]

Why not let Self start the 8th and Price save the 9th?

The LH Barlow gets to pitch to a RHer?

[HoopsDawg]

Vansau needs a lot of work

I don't understand why Macnamee isn't an everyday guy.

[MarketingBully]

Missed call against us and the commentators laugh it off. Missed call against TSUN , and they go on about it for a good 3 minutes. Typical

Oh yeah agreed. It was more Dari Nokah then McDonald though. Nokah as a whole likes Ole Miss more then us.

[VandelayIndustries]

No riley self?

[MarketingBully]

Why not let Self start the 8th and Price save the 9th?

The LH Barlow gets to pitch to a RHer?

I've asked that for a couple of weeks now. I just have learned it's not worth bringing up.

[Dawgfan6]

Why not let Self start the 8th and Price save the 9th?

The LH Barlow gets to pitch to a RHer?


Dillard is switch hitter. Doesn't really matter. And he caught Self for 6 years so he knows his stuff

[WSOPdawg]

Dillard is switch hitter. Doesn't really matter. And he caught Self for 6 years so he knows his stuff

Did not know that, and that's a great answer.

[HSVDawg]

Why risk stealing 3rd? You need a hit and you don't have Vince Coleman or Ricky Henderson stealing the base?

Someone smarter in baseball explain this to me

Because there was only 1 out at the time of the steal. Just about anything in play from the guy at the plate after the steal scores the run. Or a base hit during the steal is guaranteed to score the run. He was also safe, so its hard to argue it was a bad decision, although the K definitely took away a lot of the benefit.

[bulldogcountry1]

Cannizaro is trying to get through this without using them.

[WSOPdawg]

Cannizaro is trying to get through this without using them.

Well I hope Spencer Price gets the nod for the 9th because he still has almost 3 days to rest for Friday night.

[I seen it dawg]

His bat is really bad, but he's pro level on defense. He wouldn't be in college if he could hit

Well he will learn to hit at this level

[msstate7]

Alexander with a nice pick

[Dawgcap]

Oh yeah agreed. It was more Dari Nokah then McDonald though. Nokah as a whole likes Ole Miss more then us.

Totally agree!! And wasn't trolling before! I'm old and my pessimism has never worked for us so I'm trying to be more positive! It's worked lately!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good job Barlow

[bulldogcountry1]

Well I hope Spencer Price gets the nod for the 9th because he still has almost 3 days to rest for Friday night.

If we can pull this one off without using either, it will feel like winning two games.

I expected Barton there instead of Billingley.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Why not let Self start the 8th and Price save the 9th?

The LH Barlow gets to pitch to a RHer?
Barlow has pitched pretty well recently, I'm glad we gave him a chance to get more than one or two batters. Midweeks are the time to try it. And I'd imagine Cann would prefer not to use Self or Price today if possible. Especially since Price rolled his ankle Saturday

[I seen it dawg]

Really nice play by Belmont. Another quality outing by Barlow.

[MarketingBully]

Totally agree!! And wasn't trolling before! I'm old and my pessimism has never worked for us so I'm trying to be more positive! It's worked lately!!

Oh no worries. We are all Dogs so we all root for the same team. Just need 4 more outs for our 29th win! Let's go Dogs!

[Percho]

Just listening to the announcers I would think the best team is losing!

[I seen it dawg]

Mix in a strike ****

[Dawgcap]

Oh no worries. We are all Dogs so we all root for the same team. Just need 4 more outs for our 29th win! Let's go Dogs!
I did call the dp in the 7th now time for a 4-3 out

[WSOPdawg]

A 4-17n-pitch walk -- C'mon Billingsley!!!

[MarketingBully]

He's going to have to go with our big guns if he wants to win this game.

[I seen it dawg]

Come into the game and ****ing compete. That was a ****ing pathetic effort.

[WSOPdawg]

Way to recover Belmont!!!

[msstate7]

Way to recover Belmont!!!

Bout gave me a stoke

[Dawgcap]

I did call the dp in the 7th now time for a 4-3 out

Ok 5-3 out!! Ha

[I seen it dawg]

We got real lucky there. Pathetic by Billingsley to come in with that trash.

[I seen it dawg]

T9 4-2 us

[WSOPdawg]

FWIW I'm liking the blonde in the red jersey behind home plate. She got some nice legs.

[Dawgcap]

FWIW I'm liking the blonde in the red jersey behind home plate. She got some nice legs.
I'm old but she showed up in the 2nd inning

[mstatefan91]

Ugly at bat

[msstate7]

Alexander has hit 3 balls well with nothing to show. I like the hard contact even if no results yet

[WSOPdawg]

I'm old but she showed up in the 2nd inning

You're never too old for a little eye candy at the ballpark.

[I seen it dawg]

Wtf hunter. So stupid

[mstatefan91]

Stupid base running. Stupid stupid stupid

[msstate7]

We run into more outs

[WSOPdawg]

Wtf hunter. So stupid

I like that catcher's arm and hustle... you can tell he's nothing but a ballplayer.

[HSVDawg]

Alexander has hit 3 balls well with nothing to show. I like the hard contact even if no results yet

He's started to go with the pitch more. I like the change in approach as well.

[smootness]

You can be aggressive and smart at the same time. We're certainly aggressive, but we're not very smart.

[WSOPdawg]

All right, here's Riley.

[mstatefan91]

Self on to close it

[WSOPdawg]

That's just nasty - 3 straight from Riley. Take a seat!

[Dawgcap]

You're never too old for a little eye candy at the ballpark.

Ha!

[I seen it dawg]

Win. **** those shitbirds.

[WSOPdawg]

Ballgame, that's a 4-game sweep for 2017. way to go Bulldogs.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Good win, SEC quality RPI victory. Glad we only have one Midweek left.

[mstatefan91]

Dawgs win 4-2! #HailState

[MarketingBully]

Great win! Wtg Dogs! Now let's get 2-3 this weekend against Auburn!

[starkvegasdawg]

This is our state.
