UIC Game 2

[confucius say]

For those who care and aren't throwing in the towel (count me in), does anybody know who UIC is throwing today and what his numbers are?

I see our path to 4 wins as:

Pilk, JB/DM, DM/JB, and Gordon as starters

Pilk goes 7+ today making whole bullpen ready for Sunday

Gordon going 5 Monday and piecing together last 4 innings (Mangum may be an option)

Hit, hit, hit, hit!!!

[DownwardDawg]

What time do we play? I'm still looking forward to it. I think we win today and then maybe one more. Who knows, anything can happen.

Are we on tv?

[CadaverDawg]

We're going to win today. These guys are too gritty to go 2 & through

[Bully13]

We're going to win today. These guys are too gritty to go 2 & through

I don't see grit. Just giving up walks, getting behind in the count while our guys 1st pitch swinging at benders in the dirt.

[Dental Dawg33]

Dont ever count this team out until it's over. I went to the games yesterday. It's a miracle southern won, they shouldn't be looking forward to playing USA. State didn't play overly bad, USA just played really well. The first pitch that Gordon threw that that kid hit in to the next county was a bad sign. But we kept grinding. We had some really hard hit balls. These kids will come out battling today. Just hope it's not as hot as yesterday's 1pm game.

I'm a USM fan, and we tend to come to big brother's board and act like children after wins, Bc we don't do it often. We didn't even beat MSU yesterday, and it was still the biggest win of our season. We have such an inferiority complex.

Did all 10 of their fans come over here?? Good grief. Who wudda thunk? Are they as bad as ole miss fans? I wouldn't know even though I live in the Hattiesburg area because they never talk about sports.

[CadaverDawg]

Just announced that the game is delayed. No start time yet.

Even though I agreed with starting Gordon...this was my one fear, rain. If rain suspends the game and we only get 4-5 out of Pilk, that will be awful

Super Regionals and OMAHA are an expectation for MSU... anything else is a bad year for us...

[Dental Dawg33]

They aren't as bad as ole miss fans, but it was blatantly obvious yesterday they enjoyed us losing. One of my good friends is a southern fan and is who I went with yesterday. I cheered for southern the first game, but after watching our game with a lot of the same gold company around me, Ill be rooting for USA today

[somebodyshotmypaw]

For those who care and aren't throwing in the towel (count me in)

I'm with you. I refuse to throw in the towel.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Southern Miss owes us for saving their Athletic department 3-4 years ago... so there's that.

[NCDawg]

I don't see grit. Just giving up walks, getting behind in the count while our guys 1st pitch swinging at benders in the dirt.

I don't see the grit either. Can't throw the ball over the plate and can't hit in the clutch.

[Dawg61]

I'd rather see Rooker pitch than Gordon pitch the rest of this season. Dude got his confidence shattered yesterday after the 1st pitch. Consider him on the 8 month DL for a broken mental.

I'll remind you of that Monday night

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

This time of the year is all about who's hot and who's not. Unfortunately, our bats are not hot. Our pitching, even when hot, is middle of the road. Yesterday was a bad day for both, which will result in a loss. Bottom line, USA is a better team than we are. They may well prove to have been the two seed when it's over.

Overall, we exceeded expectations and played above our heads most of the year. Cann showed us a glimpse of what's to come. If we can hold on to even 2 of the signees that are expected to be drafted high, that's a big win. We'll most likely have to piece together a roster next year, but I expect Cann to be playing with a full deck beginning with the new Dude in 2019.

I'm ready to match LSU's success in the form of 6 straight national seeds as they attained this year. We have the resources to do that.

how long's this weather delay expected to last?

Twitter say it'll be somewhere between 3 & 5 pm before we start

Please post updates as you get them if you don't mind.

Yes and yes

[CadaverDawg]

Cannizaro is with his family at a local establishment eating lunch....so if that tells you anything, it may be a while

[I seen it dawg]

Yeah that's not good for getting started in the next couple of hours.

[confucius say]

Looking at the radar, it looks like this evening at the earliest.

We have 47 weather guys on here. One of you tell us what the deal is.

[Cooterpoot]

Screw it. I'm headed to a Keg and Barrel and will get drunk all day.

[basedog]

Yeah that's not good for getting started in the next couple of hours.

I like the delay, hope we play late today and South Ala/Usm gets postponed till tomorrow.

[msstate7]

If today is a wash, not pitching pilk last night is looking worse and worse with rain in the forecast tomorrow and Monday too in Hattiesburg

[msstate7]

I like the delay, hope we play late today and South Ala/Usm gets postponed till tomorrow.

Only thing I don't like about it is if we somehow fight our way back to a championship game, we'll most likely face usm/USA ace

[confucius say]

If we are the only game today, I'm guessing there would be two games tomorrow and two games Monday (if necessary).

My usm buddy said they are meeting at 2pm to either announce another delay or us playing at possibly 4pm

Had to look him up haha

I'm no meteorologist, but I do read ref and starkvegas' weather threads

[RocketDawg]

Radar doesn't look good at all for playing any time soon.

[basedog]

And I'm ok with that, there ain't no high draft choices on either Usm or South's team. At least our 6 or 7 pitchers will be fresh. If we don't start scoring 7 or 8 runs it matters not.

When u get in losers bracket, clutch hitting is the key. Go look at the scores around the country with how many runs the winners score!

[Dawg61]

They don't have an ace their pitching sucks just like ours

[Cooterpoot]

Beers cold

You are winning this thread

[basedog]

+1

It's about hitting now, Usm may have the best hitting lineup, South Alabama is playing the best ball right now (their Coach is the ex South Carolina pitching Coach). I know nothing about the Chicago bunch, doesn't matter about anyone really, it matters what we do!

Looks like we may get started around 4:30.

[Dental Dawg33]

Latest update from usm buddy is they are meeting again at 3:30 to determine our start time. It's starting to look like USM/USA may not play

[basedog]

Btw, 10 walks last night, ok it hurt but they hit 2 bombs to zero to ours. As I've stated, the ball flies out as we did show warning track power last night****

Dang even Rooker is in a funk, what is he now 2 for 22 or something close to it huh? I probably would move him to bat 3rd with Brown behind him now. Actually it's all a crap shoot as we just ain't hitting every much and it doesn't look like we will do much damage.

Wait till next year****

[yjnkdawg]

Still could have more rain moving in from LA unless it breaks up. The NWS' hourly forecast shows highest percentage from 4 to 6 PM with a 90% chance.

[Dental Dawg33]

Looking at my radar, it looks like it's about to pour in the land of the buzzard for the next 2-3 hours

I wanted to save pilk yesterday, but I was wrong. We could've potentionally gotten 2 starts out of pilk with this weather

You and me both. Heard a rumor that we may start Denver tonight? Someone please tell me that is in fact a rumor

If that's true then we may not see Pilk on the field until next year.

Makes it a lot easier in these situations if you knew what the weather was going to do, but the weather can be very unpredictable.

We will be lucky to play at all today. Going to be raining until at least 630

Maybe they launched a sounding balloon, from the ball park, to get all the viable weather data? Hmmmm nah they didn't.

[yjnkdawg]

Baton Rouge/NO Radar shows more heavy rain moving toward Hattiesburg,

[CadaverDawg]

Hindsight 20/20, but damn I wish Cann had gone against the 65% of us that wanted Gordon in game 1. Oh well.

We still woulda lost. Pilk ERA 3.13 MSU runs scored last night 3. Idk why y'all are torturing yourselves over this. We let some scrub throw a complete game against us. Pilk couldn't stop our bats from being shit last night either.

We do have stats to look at. Pilk faced USA this year...

7.2 ip. 4 h 0 er 2 bb 13 k

Should have started self last night

It's not about yesterday's result now...it's about how we'd be able to potentially get 2 starts out of Pilk now if he'd pitched yesterday. McCarty and Bell will now be able to pitch again if their teams make it to the Championship on what looks like late Monday at best, but likely Tuesday.

Not that we knew....just bad luck. Can't change it now, but at least Cole may be able to go again if we can win a few

[TXDawg]

Any idea what time we play the first game tomorrow?

Very doubtful he shuts that team down twice in the same season. Y'all had your chances to bitch before Gordon pitched and it was crickets. Bitching about it now is weak sauce. Stick to the hot sauce bruh.
