[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady inching his way down in the lineup. I like that bc it means guys are starting to hit

[Dawgfan6]

How long of a leash does billingsley get?

[Dawg61]

Game is on ESPNU today @1pm Central

[I seen it dawg]

How long of a leash does billingsley get?

As much as possible but everyone but Gordon should be ready. Can extend self and Price today.

[CadaverDawg]

How long of a leash does billingsley get?

Should be out the first sign of trouble. We have fully rested Self and Price....if Gary or Andy allows us to dig a big hole before seeing them, we should all be pissed

[I seen it dawg]

Hope we score a couple of runs. One time thru lineup should be minimum but if he can get thru twice that's optimal.

[The Federalist Engineer]

How long of a leash does billingsley get?

Six consecutive balls and he should go, if he last six pitches, I'm good with that

[Dawg61]

Six consecutive balls and he should go, if he last six pitches, I'm good with that

Oh man please don't start the game with 6 straight balls

[CadaverDawg]

Uh oh, on pregame Gary just said "we hope to get 4-5 out of JB, then we have Tristan, and could get more out of Plumlee or Barton, and hopefully they can get us to the 7th or 8th where we can get to Self and Price."

He had zero sign of Self coming in before usual

[Dawgfan6]

I'm not 100% sure Hendu and Canny want to win a lot of these games. The more they run Barton and Plumlee out of the pen, the more I think these coaches want to lose.

Coach GH said, 'we hope....' he did not inscribe it in stone that Self would not/could not come in before the usual cast of characters.....Give the coaches a little credit for having a little grasp of the significance of this game......

[CadaverDawg]

Did I say he inscribed it? And it would be easier to give them that credit had they not let us get beat with Self and Price on the bench last weekend. Not saying they won't learn from it, but all we have is previous results to base it on right now. I hope to see Self by 5th inning unless JB is having the game of his life

[Thick]

Why is Bragg not in the line up?

[Todd4State]

I'm not 100% sure Hendu and Canny want to win a lot of these games. The more they run Barton and Plumlee out of the pen, the more I think these coaches want to lose.

You really don't think they want to win these games? That's crazy.

I think they want to make sure that we have a Self and Price ready for the postseason.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum should be lighting it up ahead of Rooker, but due to his piss poor plate discipline he still gets nothing but breaking balls. With any discipline he would get tons of fastballs to crush. He's been disappointing this year to me...for his lack of adjusting.

[CadaverDawg]

Great inning, K's our best 3 hitters. Not a good sign

[DownwardDawg]

Nasty. That slider is filthy.

[Dawg61]

Slider is unhittable but it is a ball every time if we can just keep from swinging at it

[CadaverDawg]

We're going to get smoked today. At least we got 1 though

[MarketingBully]

How many balls in the dirt did we swing at in the first?

[MarketingBully]

Don't swing at the sliders and we will be okay. Key is to swing at his fastballs and only expect fastballs. The A&M pitcher is the same as JB. He didn't throw his slider for a strike but you go down 1-2 or 0-2 and your toast.

[mstatefan91]

Why wouldn't you walk him to setup a double play ball? It was 3-0 count. Would have put runners at corners with 1 out. Instead, RBI SAC

[MarketingBully]

We're going to get smoked today. At least we got 1 though

They only got 1 in the first. It's going to take more then one run to win this game.

[Saltydog]

expectations. The most surprising is Girdley and/or Brown.

[maroonmania]

And again a walk or wild pitch helps lead to a run.

[msstate7]

Why wouldn't you walk him to setup a double play ball? It was 3-0. Would have put runners at corners with 1 out. Instead, RBI SAC

I like that strategy late in games, but not early

[maroonmania]

How many balls in the dirt did we swing at in the first?

As free swinging as we are and as much as we refuse to walk I honestly wonder why other coaches' don't instruct their pitchers not to ever throw us strikes unless they have to.

[MarketingBully]

If we swing at shit in the dirt it will be a long day.

[CadaverDawg]

The way we swing at shit pitches, this guy may throw a no-hitter today. This plate discipline is pathetic

[mstatefan91]

WTF are we swinging at? That breaking ball isn't that good.

[diamonddawg17]

It doesn't matter how we pitch today if we don't hit.

[maroonmania]

The balls we swing at aren't even close to the strike zone. Macnamee's at bat there was comical.

[Dawg61]

We are going to have to force him to strike us out looking a couple times cause he is only gonna throw balls till we make him throw strikes

[MarketingBully]

What is the deal with our hitters? Shit...

[MarketingBully]

The at bats that inning looked little league

[Saltydog]

swinging at that shit. NO plate discipline whatsoever. It's pathetic. If it's breaking, don't swing at it, period until he can show he can consistently throw it for a strike.

[CadaverDawg]

1 run will be enough, we swing at EVERYTHING. 5 K's through 2 innings....embarrassing bullshit

[maroonmania]

We are going to have to force him to strike us out looking a couple times cause he is only gonna throw balls till we make him throw strikes

Whatever you are smoking pass it over. The team refuses to LOOK at anything.

[MarketingBully]

You look freaking fastball and lock on to it. You don't swing until you get a fastball. That kid has not thrown a strike without us swinging on that slider.

[Dawg61]

We'd be better off with no bats while we are at the plate right now. Atleast then we won't swing at balls anymore.

[MarketingBully]

Another huge game and shitty start.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Omg

[CadaverDawg]

Billingsley just isn't gonna get it done as a starter. Another HBP and gift baserunner to lead off an inning. Makes me want to break something

[maroonmania]

And we start the inning off by gifting a lead off man with the HBP. The constants walks, HBP and wild pitches from this staff are infuriating.

[msstate7]

Coming into game, kolek had 54 k's in 64 ip. We've k'd 5 times in 2 ip. Wow

[civildawg]

I mean I know our pitching staff is taped together but we give the most free passes I've ever seen

[CadaverDawg]

I'd rather start Blaylock or Gordon than Billingsley next Sunday

[Saltydog]

thing you have to do is pound the zone and he can't do it.

[maroonmania]

Billingsley just isn't gonna get it done as a starter. Another HBP and gift baserunner to lead off an inning. Makes me want to break something

I don't understand in a game like this why you wouldn't start Self. By the time we get to his "normal" inning to pitch the game will probably be out of reach.

[msstate7]

Lovelady is a terrible thrower. I wouldn't stop running on him

[MarketingBully]

Screwed. Gotta give Billingsly quick hook. Gotta go to Self as soon as possible.

[maroonmania]

Man in scoring position with no outs for TA&M without the aid of a hit. Same ol' same ol'. PUT SELF IN BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Two walks to lead off the 2nd...get his ass out of there, that's unacceptable for a veteran. Go to Self now bc we already may not be able to come back

[MarketingBully]

We can't lose this series guys.

[maroonmania]

Screwed. Gotta give Billingsly quick hook. Gotta go to Self as soon as possible.

Pisses me off we didn't start him.

[CadaverDawg]

Don't worry guys, We'll bring Self in to keep us within 8 runs later on

[CadaverDawg]

We can't lose this series guys.

Too late

[maroonmania]

Looking at being down 3-0 now with just a hit here. At least Self and Price will be fresh for Georgia.

[CadaverDawg]

This shit pisses me off. If we keep running JB out there every week, we're conceding a game per series. We are going to lose 2 of 3 before our best two arms throw a damn pitch in the series...think about that. It doesn't get any dumber than that

[MarketingBully]

The ironic thing is JB is just as on as the A&M guy but we swing at everything.

[msstate7]

Good job, JB... 1 more

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Omg

[WSOPdawg]

why would we want to pitch to the #9 hitter when we can hit him and load the bases for the leadoff hitter? Lets go Dogs!!!

[msstate7]

Danger danger

[maroonmania]

Game could be over here with one swing.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Lol hit the #9 batter to load bases..

[MarketingBully]

Great job Billingsly giving up zeros!

[maroonmania]

Whew!!

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Whew. Never a doubt**

[WSOPdawg]

Big K. 1-0 aTm going to the 3rd.

[msstate7]

If we're going to jolly, please leave JB in there

[MarketingBully]

Two HBP and a walk but allows no runs lul.

[MarketingBully]

He has decent stuff today but he lost the slider a couple of times and hit two batters. He isn't that much off from the A&M dude. Our guys have to be patient at the plate.

[msstate7]

Luke was on that fastball
Lovelady hit
We gonna be fine

[Saltydog]

with anything that isn't straight.....

[msstate7]

Dang it, Poole... that was a freaking hanger. Gotta pound that one

[preachermatt83]

Magnum is the most undisciplined hitter I've ever seen.

[CadaverDawg]

Mangum has become a damn near auto out

[msstate7]

Jake will get eat alive by upper minor pitching. You can't swing at every pitch. The announcer really said Jake could have a .500 obp? Lol... he'd have to hit .490 bc he never walks

[MarketingBully]

Mangum is not a lead off hitter at this stage. He has to have bat discipline. Swinging at everything is not a guy you lead off.

[VandelayIndustries]

Magnum is so frustrating to watch hit

[WSOPdawg]

2nd time thru the lineup, heres hoping JB can maintain control of the game.

[confucius say]

Has JB gotten ahead on any batter? Geez. Throw strike 1.

[msstate7]

Both of these pitchers are really deceptive today... guys swinging at bad pitches

[msstate7]

Great call, Cann/Henderson

[WSOPdawg]

Way to go Dogs - going to the 4th down a run.

[MarketingBully]

Great inning there by JB. We need our hitters to start hitting now. Only down 1.

[Percho]

Have to quit trying to pull the breaking pitch.

[msstate7]

Bottom of our order got better swings than the top's 2nd look

[maroonmania]

Boy, we just are NOT going to take a walk. Cody goes down on a 3-2 count on a pitch in the dirt.

[MarketingBully]

Our guys just not seeing it today. We need to just watch balls go by and extend this asshats pitch count.

[MarketingBully]

Cann has to just tell them watch a few balls go by. They obviously aren't going with the if it's not a fastball don't swing mantra. That slider has not been close to the strike zone.

[MarketingBully]

****...how did that ball get out?

[msstate7]

Might do it. We can't adjust to 1 pitch... we deserve to lose

[preachermatt83]

Dang!

[Activated Alpha]

Update?

[msstate7]

Update?

2-0 aTm b4

We couldn't hit their pitcher's slider with a tennis racket though

[maroonmania]

Dang!

On the bright side at least nobody was on base. Meanwhile Self and Price continue to get more rest.

[MarketingBully]

That would have been a lazy fly ball at the Dude. In this Cracker Jack box it was a home run...

[maroonmania]

That would have been a lazy fly ball at the Dude. In this Cracker Jack box it was a home run...

That pitch was grooved right into the hitter's happy zone.

[Activated Alpha]

I don't see how one doesn't wait back on the slider. If it's been consistently a ball then Cann needs to tell our hitters to be more patient at the plate

[msstate7]

3-1 bama 4th

[maroonmania]

well Billingsley got about 4 inches off the outside corner on that strikeout.

[WSOPdawg]

Time to get some runs. If our guys can lay off that damn slider, we can get some base runners and change the dynamic of this game. Let's go!!!

[msstate7]

Poole's leap at the wall makes me feel good about my vertical haha

[MarketingBully]

We have to be patient at the plate if we are going to come back. Still plenty of baseball and only down by 2.

[mstatefan91]

All of you giving Billingsley sh*t need to hush. This is on the bats right now.

[CadaverDawg]

Self and Price shoulda brought a cooler of beer to each game this series. At least that way they coulda been drunk watching us lose this series without them. That's how I might finish this one

[diamonddawg17]

On the bright side at least nobody was on base. Meanwhile Self and Price continue to get more rest.

They are going to end up getting so much rest that they are rusty when they finally get to pitch.

[MarketingBully]

Get Brag in there and move Brown to the outfield. Macnamee looks like a little leaguer out there.

[MarketingBully]

That should have been a 4 pitch walk instead 2-2 to Macnamee.

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

60 pitches thru 4.2... we in trouble

[mstatefan91]

Self and Price shoulda brought a cooler of beer to each game this series. At least that way they coulda been drunk watching us lose this series without them. That's how I might finish this one

Game shouldn't be out of hand at 2-0. That's the bats. Not the pitching. You know this.

[maroonmania]

We are going to have to start taking some pitches just to try and get this guy out of the game. At this pace he will throw a complete game and maybe not even reach 100 pitches.

[MarketingBully]

Undisciplined batting screwing us today.

[mstatefan91]

For 17's sake, keep the damn bat on your shoulder. We look like a team of idiots.

[maroonmania]

Game shouldn't be out of hand at 2-0. That's the bats. Not the pitching. You know this.

Well, in a game where you may not score but 2 or 3 runs you have to have your best pitchers out there to keep you in the game. Billingsley has done a decent job so far but he is not the kind of pitcher in the SEC that is normally going to win you a 3-2 game. Self might have a chance to do that.

[I seen it dawg]

You guys act like it's me out there pitching. This guy is dealing. And we don't exactly have major league guys throughout our lineup. And JB is pitching like shit but has only given up a manufactured run and a fly ball that went out of this bandbox. Shit.

[Activated Alpha]

Need to work more counts like LA did. I know he struck out at a high fastball, but he at least saw two fastballs there

[Activated Alpha]

You guys act like it's me out there pitching. This guy is dealing. And we don't exactly have major league guys throughout our lineup. And JB is pitching like shit but has only given up a manufactured run and a fly ball that went out of this bandbox. Shit.

Every week, some pitcher is dealing against us. Now if it's been every now and then I can understand, but every damn week? No, our hitters aren't adjusting to his slider.

[CadaverDawg]

Game shouldn't be out of hand at 2-0. That's the bats. Not the pitching. You know this.

Oh I know, JB is doing his job...just making the observation, bc we coulda used them Thursday night when it was 3-1, instead of bring in BP Plumlee and giving up the grand slam, for example. I just hate losing a series without even pitching your two best arms. Pisses me off

Today it's our lack of plate discipline and inability to adjust at the plate that is losing it

[I seen it dawg]

Some of you are ****ing stupid with this let's just start self today. It's not the way it works. You don't just run the kid out there to do something he hasn't attempted to do this season. Jb gave us 12 outs with only giving up 2 runs. 100% of you guys would have taken that. We had to get 15 outs to get to self and Price. And we are on schedule. Just have to scratch some runs.

[diamonddawg17]

This game is on our hitting not pitching. People are so quick to jump on the pitchers but this game is all on the hitters.

[mstatefan91]

Well, in a game where you may not score but 2 or 3 runs you have to have your best pitchers out there to keep you in the game. Billingsley has done a decent job so far but he is not the kind of pitcher in the SEC that is normally going to win you a 3-2 game. Self might have a chance to do that.

What proof is there that Self or Price can work 6 innings or so? I'm being genuine. The most I've seen either pitch is 2, maybe 2 and a third innings.

[preachermatt83]

Pitching has zero to do with today... we just can't hit this guy. We keep swinging at his slider out of the zone.

[CadaverDawg]

You guys act like it's me out there pitching. This guy is dealing. And we don't exactly have major league guys throughout our lineup. And JB is pitching like shit but has only given up a manufactured run and a fly ball that went out of this bandbox. Shit.

The reason he's "dealing" is bc we're undisciplined. If we had given our guys the take sign the first few innings we'd either have 10 walks, or we would be ripping fastballs right now. When you swing at everydamnthing they throw, "dealing" just requires throwing sliders in the dirt.

[I seen it dawg]

Need to work more counts like LA did. I know he struck out at a high fastball, but he at least saw two fastballs there

I don't disagree with this.

[I seen it dawg]

What proof is there that Self or Price can work 6 innings or so? I'm being genuine. The most I've seen either pitch is 2, maybe 2 and a third innings.

Shocking observation

[I seen it dawg]

I hope like hell thats a pitch around. Which it should have been

[CadaverDawg]

This game is on our hitting not pitching. People are so quick to jump on the pitchers but this game is all on the hitters.

Nobody is saying this game is on pitching...we're just wondering how we can go a full series, lose 2 of 3, and not see Self or Price at all til it's basically over. Wish we had put Self in there at 3-1 Thursday night, knowing what we know now. When you have a limited staff, you gotta cut the runs off with your best when you still have a chance.

[MarketingBully]

The reason he's "dealing" is bc we're undisciplined. If we had given our guys the take sign the first few innings we'd either have 10 walks, or we would be ripping fastballs right now. When you swing at everydamnthing they throw, "dealing" just requires throwing sliders in the dirt.

Yep, their pitcher is even still throwing sliders on the first pitch to us knowing we will swing.

[MarketingBully]

I hope like hell thats a pitch around. Which it should have been

It was.

[preachermatt83]

I like Barlow here. Jolly shouldn't be throwing right now imo

[msstate7]

What proof is there that Self or Price can work 6 innings or so? I'm being genuine. The most I've seen either pitch is 2, maybe 2 and a third innings.

Self vs Texas Tech...
5.0 ip 1 h 1 er 1 bb 7 k

[I seen it dawg]

This is how you matchup an inning to get 3 outs. Just have to execute.

[preachermatt83]

Nothing but FB's there... hmmm

[CadaverDawg]

Self vs Texas Tech...
5.0 ip 1 h 1 er 1 bb 7 k

Yep. Damn facts*

[mstatefan91]

Self vs Texas Tech...
5.0 ip 1 h 1 er 1 bb 7 k

Didn't realize that. Would have been a big gamble but then, every game is for this team.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Barlow...get us out of trouble and let's see if we can put a ball in play

[confucius say]

Blue is giving 5-6 inches off outer black if you set up there. Just stay there.

[msstate7]

Gotta keep it here

[CadaverDawg]

Attaboy Barlow

[msstate7]

What an ugly swing. Great job, Barlow

[I seen it dawg]

Great job jolly after the walk and Barlow to finish. We are running out of outs

[MarketingBully]

So three more outs to get to Self and Price. Our bats have to wake up!

[preachermatt83]

I hope Henderson stays here for a long time.

[confucius say]

Great job!!!

Now scratch for smn offensively. See the slider up. And I'd get up in the box and on the plate. He is living outer half when he throws fastball. Hasn't come in all day.

[mstatefan91]

Alright. Take the first pitch at least unless you get the one you want. Probably won't though. Our approach has been absolute shit.

[CadaverDawg]

For the love of God can we have some good ab's this inning? Maybe draw a walk or two, elevate pitch count, hit a gap or two? Leggo

[I seen it dawg]

Yep. Damn facts*

And it's first series then he gets arm trouble and we settle him into his current role. **** it let's let him throw 75 pitches twice a wkd.

[Percho]

Right's go opposite field.

[CadaverDawg]

And it's first series then he gets arm trouble and we settle him into his current role. **** it let's let him throw 75 pitches twice a wkd.

Yea because that's exactly what we're all calling for**

[CadaverDawg]

Lovelady only guy hitting, haha

[I seen it dawg]

Great at bat. Let's scratch. Lovelady with a hit.

[preachermatt83]

That dang lovelady hitting it.

[mstatefan91]

God knows.. we got a hit!

[CadaverDawg]

Consider pinch running here? Gotta find a way to get something going

Guess not since we need 2, not 1 anyway

[Percho]

We have 2 and he has both.

[I seen it dawg]

Yea because that's exactly what we're all calling for**

And I was being stupid as well making a point. I agree with you on throwing him earlier Friday night instead of Plumlee. It's the people that want to just start him out of the blue bc he is one of our best pitchers. It just doesn't work that way. There is a reason he's so damn good in the role he is in. Well how about leaving him the role he is in so he can stay dominant instead of tasking him with something he's not preparing his arm and body for.

[msstate7]

aTm closer (kilkenny)...
43.2 ip 46 h 16 er 14 bb 42 k
3.27 era
1.36 whip

Good numbers, but not great. Glad he's no shut down

[Dawg61]

Nice!!

[preachermatt83]

I'd safety squeeze here

[CadaverDawg]

I Gotcha . Agreed

[I seen it dawg]

And there we go. Poole with a double

[MarketingBully]

Patience is amazing for batters...imagine that.

[maroonmania]

What proof is there that Self or Price can work 6 innings or so? I'm being genuine. The most I've seen either pitch is 2, maybe 2 and a third innings.

None, if Self can give us 3 or 4 shutout innings to start the game that's more valuable than coming into the 6th or 7th with us already down 2 or 3 runs. Yes, we would still need some pitchers to get us some middle innings but the longer you are in the game the better.

[CadaverDawg]

I'd safety squeeze here

Lol with Lovelady at 3rd??!

[mstatefan91]

Damn good back to back at bats. If only there was someone faster on than Lovelady..

[preachermatt83]

Mangum watches FB down the heart and swings at crap.

[CadaverDawg]

2-1

[msstate7]

Atta boy, bottom of order and nice hitting mangum

[I seen it dawg]

Now that's a team at bat by jake. Pull the ground all to get the run and advance Poole. They better walk rook

[preachermatt83]

We need Rooker to get one in the air here

[mstatefan91]

I'll take it

[CadaverDawg]

Shit

[preachermatt83]

Lol with Lovelady at 3rd??!

Forgot the ***

[Dawg61]

shit he woulda been safe

[MarketingBully]

How the hell does our guy not come home on that? The throw was off.

[maroonmania]

Goodness, you've got to try to score there. Stupid.

[preachermatt83]

Dang it!!!

[I seen it dawg]

**** Rooker can't hit it deep enough and rf with a strong throw.
Let's go grid

[msstate7]

Rooker is our best player by far, by damn, rook... fastball and you can't get run in

[mstatefan91]

Why? Why? Why? I swear..

[maroonmania]

How the hell does our guy not come home on that? The throw was off.

Our baserunning is just crap all around. This freaking game should be tied.

[preachermatt83]

We blew our chance

[CadaverDawg]

Well damn. That was our chance

[MarketingBully]

That's ballgame. Poole beats that throw home easily.

[civildawg]

Gosh our base running is so stupid. You got to chance it there

[mstatefan91]

Chicken shit base running. That's on the coaches.

[MarketingBully]

Rooker is our best player by far, by damn, rook... fastball and you can't get run in

That's on Poole and the third base coach. That ball was deep enough.

[I seen it dawg]

Shit 2-1. Rooker has to drive that run in. Scratched one out which is big changes the game. Keep shutting them down at the plate. We will get another run.

[CadaverDawg]

Our baserunning is just crap all around. This freaking game should be tied.

When we need to go, we don't....when we need to stay, we don't. As limited as our chances have been today, I think you gotta try it and make the dude make a godd throw

[I seen it dawg]

That's on Poole and the third base coach. That ball was deep enough.

No it wasn't. With 2 outs you try. With 1 out you don't.

[Activated Alpha]

Poole couldn't have known the catcher would have botched the catch, but it would have beaten Poole for sure

[MarketingBully]

No it wasn't. With 2 outs you try. With 1 out you don't.

That wasn't even a good throw. The ball didn't even make it to home plate. Poole can fly. You tie it up there.

[mstatefan91]

No it wasn't. With 2 outs you try. With 1 out you don't.

With 2 outs the inning is over when the ball is gloved? You can only try that with 1 out...

[preachermatt83]

Barlow is a good pitcher.

[MarketingBully]

Poole couldn't have known the catcher would have botched the catch, but it would have beaten Poole for sure

Did you see where the ball ended up? The catcher wasn't at the plate. Poole is one of our fastest runners. The way the pitcher was dealing and on the road you try to score there.

[CadaverDawg]

Barlow is a good pitcher.

Kiss o death

[mstatefan91]

Barlow is a good pitcher.

When he's on

[MarketingBully]

Well....

[maroonmania]

When we need to go, we don't....when we need to stay, we don't. As limited as our chances have been today, I think you gotta try it and make the dude make a godd throw

Yea, if the catch made was the first out then no you don't risk it. But you've got to try to score when its the second out. Just not good enough odds that the next guy will get a hit. If he gets thrown out he gets thrown out but the guy was running sideways to get to the ball in the OF anyway.

[preachermatt83]

Crap. He golfed that one.

[CadaverDawg]

And there's the bomb with Self and Price still chillin

[confucius say]

No it wasn't. With 2 outs you try. With 1 out you don't.

It was two outs when the RF caught it. No different than trying to score from second on a two out single.

But I can't blame Poole for not going. Throw would have beaten him by 5 steps.

[I seen it dawg]

That wasn't even a good throw. The ball didn't even make it to home plate. Poole can fly. You tie it up there.

Lol yeah because the catcher came up the line to smother it like he is taught. It was right on line one hop to the plate like it's supposed to be. I can't help you.

[preachermatt83]

That was a good pitch. Hitter just smashed it

[I seen it dawg]

And there's the bomb with Self and Price still chillin

It's left on left. He got beat.

[CadaverDawg]

Now our brief momentum is dead, lead back to 2, Self coulda kept it at 1. It's like we refuse to give ourself the best chance to win

[CadaverDawg]

It's left on left. He got beat.

He shouldn't be in there. Almost just cost us another one too

[Activated Alpha]

I say you bring Self in the 7th

[MarketingBully]

It was off enough Poole scores there and the catcher sure as shit isn't in position to tag him out had Poole gone.

[mstatefan91]

That is a cracker jack box... But.. get Barlow out now

[CadaverDawg]

What the **** are we saving Self for??? He shoulda started this inning if not the 5th! He hasn't pitched in a week!

[I seen it dawg]

With 2 outs the inning is over when the ball is gloved? You can only try that with 1 out...

Yeah my wording is shit. He has that play in front of him and can see it. He's hosed there if he goes. Like run into and out without sliding.

[CadaverDawg]

Now a walk, and we're doing exactly what we all said prior to the game....we aren't going to see Self until this series is decided and we lose it

[MarketingBully]

Now our brief momentum is dead, lead back to 2, Self coulda kept it at 1. It's like we refuse to give ourself the best chance to win

Agreed there. Bad baserunning move and not starting Self here made a huge difference.

[I seen it dawg]

What the **** are we saving Self for??? He shoulda started this inning if not the 5th! He hasn't pitched in a week!

I agree. I know they had leftys coming up but shit.

[Activated Alpha]

You have to get Barlow out now

[I seen it dawg]

I say you bring Self in the 7th

Agree he should have started the inning. We got too cute. Bad decision. I was yelling to go self. Barlow did his job in the 5th. Let him leave on that. Now he's mind****ed.

[CadaverDawg]

Homerun, near homerun, walk, walk....thanks coaches

[I seen it dawg]

Going to the pen too late for self. 3-1 AM game not over.

[msstate7]

Now self comes into a mess. Shit pitcher management this inning. Once we scored, you go self no question starting the inning

[CadaverDawg]

It's over. We had a chance but yet again got too ****ing cute and waited to bring in the guy that could have held them at 2 . That's two weekends in a row. Get your head out of your ass, Henderson.

[MarketingBully]

I hate that we usually never give Self a clean inning. He can give us 2-3 innings since we haven't used him all weekend. We are really bad about extending pitchers when we don't have to.

[maroonmania]

Homerun, near homerun, walk, walk....thanks coaches

At minimum we should have brought in Self to start the 6th when we got it back to 2-1.

[I seen it dawg]

And the AM hitters are little league softballers when they hit a home run. Just total bush league shit. Guy goes Warren Morris on a solo bomb in 6th that didn't win the game.

[CadaverDawg]

Those Aggie fans are weird ****ers

[maroonmania]

It's over. We had a chance but yet again got too ****ing cute and waited to bring in the guy that could have held them at 2 . That's two weekends in a row. Get your head out of your ass, Henderson.

Its the little things that determine these SEC series. We don't send the runner to tie the game and we don't start Self in the 6th and give up another bomb to make it 3-1.

[CadaverDawg]

Yep, whole program is weird and softballish

[CadaverDawg]

Those two decisions caused a 2 run swing, or more

[msstate7]

Bama 4-1 in 7th.

[MarketingBully]

Does Holman have Tourette's or something? He has ticks at the plate.

[I seen it dawg]

At minimum we should have brought in Self to start the 6th when we got it back to 2-1.
Yes

[MarketingBully]

Watch Self keep them at 3 and just shut them down...

[I seen it dawg]

Watch Self keep them at 3 and just shut them down...

Well you would hope so

[CadaverDawg]

That guy that raised his arm after the HR should get a rib shot next ab....what a douche

[Activated Alpha]

We are still in this. Just need to continue to be selective at the plate and get baserunners

[I seen it dawg]

I hate that we usually never give Self a clean inning. He can give us 2-3 innings since we haven't used him all weekend. We are really bad about extending pitchers when we don't have to.

So we are bad about extending pitchers but you want self to go 5 innings? Ok

[I seen it dawg]

We are still in this. Just need to continue to be selective at the plate and get baserunners

+1

[CadaverDawg]

We are still in this. Just need to continue to be selective at the plate and get baserunners

I think it's over. Hope you right though

[MarketingBully]

Should be 2-2.

[I seen it dawg]

That guy that raised his arm after the HR should get a rib shot next ab....what a douche

Hell they had a guy skip around first base this series. Just total bush league. Drill ****ers

[I seen it dawg]

Now self comes into a mess. Shit pitcher management this inning. Once we scored, you go self no question starting the inning

You were finally right

[I seen it dawg]

Cody looking slider there

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy Mac. Let's scratch.

[maroonmania]

We are going to need someone to go yard. That's our best hope.

[CadaverDawg]

Guy adjusted to our adjustment, and is beating us with fastball now
