MSU vs USM - Regional Championship Game 1 5:45 Start

[ScoobaDawg]

DAMNIT... Sorry guys I accidentally deleted the game thread...

Let's try this again...

[ScoobaDawg]

No start time set. weather delay

[mstatefan91]

I was starting to wonder.. Guessing the start time to be 2:30

[CadaverDawg]

Billingsley pitching for us
Colt Smith pitching for USM

And yes, not only does ED know more than Ole Miss fans about Ole Miss sanctions...we also know more than USM fans about USM baseball apparently...

From last night's thread:


I thought Colt Smith has been their Fri guy most of the year. They'll start him tomorrow


I think Keys will start.

Colt Smith has been in the bullpen warming up the past 2 games. If Keys implodes, they'll bring in Smith.

[JoseBrown]

Jim will be back for a 1:30 update..

[Pedro Cerrano]

Billingsley pitching for us
Colt Smith pitching for USM

And yes, not only does ED know more than Ole Miss fans about Ole Miss sanctions...we also know more than USM fans about USM baseball apparently...

From last night's thread:

Report was that Keys MAY start but people were expecting Smith. I'm not sure what the deal was with Smith warming up in the pen. Starting Keys never made sense.

Interesting to see what they do with the weather.

If they try to start this afternoon, there will almost certainly have a delay in the middle of the game. If they start around 7, things should be cleared out and they probably wouldn't be interrupted....but they would only get one game in. How do they weigh out possibly getting two games in but risking an interruption with one (which is a wild card and you never know how it will affect a team) vs. no interruption but only getting one game in.

This thing should have started at 10 or 11 this morning.

[Quaoarsking]

So if there will be another delay a few innings in, do we start someone else and let Billingsley take over after the delay?

[ScoobaDawg]

Today's game highlights will be brought to you by....
What can he not do???

[CadaverDawg]

I wonder if our players ever get on ED during rain delays? I would. I'd be like, "Damn Jake, they're saying they could roll that shit up to the plate and your free swingin ass would swing at it, Haha".

[CadaverDawg]

So if there will be another delay a few innings in, do we start someone else and let Billingsley take over after the delay?

Ha, I don't know...JB has been known not to go but 1 or 2 innings at times. He may getbpulled before the 2nd

Question is...who would you start? Mangum? Barlow maybe? (I'm setting this one on a tee for you, I seen it)

[mstatefan91]

Definitely Price.. Definitely

[CadaverDawg]

Definitely Price.. Definitely

Not a bad thought. Puts a lot on Self's shoulders on the back end...but I guess it's been that way for several weeks now

[mstatefan91]

Unfortunately Price hasn't been the same since that ankle sprain. Really hope he recovers his mojo, if not this year, then by next season.

[LC Dawg]

We need to get another pic of TNDawg35's cheesecake posted before first pitch.

We need to get another pic of TNDawg35's cheesecake posted before first pitch.

Great point. Where you at, TNDawg?

[preachermatt83]

This rain has been going on for like 5 days strait.

[BuckyIsAB****]

They should have started at about 9 AM instead of making us sit in the dugout all day

[preachermatt83]

I will be shocked if there is any baseball played in hattisburg today.

[yjnkdawg]

They should have started at about 9 AM instead of making us sit in the dugout all day

1PM sure wasn't the ideal game start time.

[bulldogsmsu]

1PM sure wasn't the ideal game start time.

Still no projected time on start?

[yjnkdawg]

I will be shocked if there is any baseball played in hattisburg today.


Looking at the NWS NO/Baton Rouge radar. It looks doubtful.

[mstatefan91]

Yeah I didn't understand why they didn't start at 9 or 10 am.

[msstate7]

Rain really doesn't help us imo. Plumlee and pilk will still be done. They get their game 1 starter back tomorrow

[msbulldog]

Tin hat conspiracy: USM knew what the weather was going to do, why didn't they the move the games up?
After all they move on to the super if we don't get all the games in.

[Dawg61]

Rain really doesn't help us imo. Plumlee and pilk will still be done. They get their game 1 starter back tomorrow

Disagree, Pilk can give us a couple innings in game 2 cause he's gonna have to

[confucius say]

So do we. And ours could start today for that matter.

[Jack Lambert]

It will end up hurting both teams in the Super.

[CadaverDawg]

Lol he pitched 100+ yesterday...he will not pitch again in this Regional. Not a chance. Plumlee and Gordon might, but not Pilk

[It_Could_Happen]

Lol he pitched 100+ yesterday...he will not pitch again in this Regional. Not a chance. Plumlee and Gordon might, but not Pilk

He threw 97 pitches yesterday. I would be shocked if we see him at all today or tomorrow for that matter. I think if it gets down to the 9th inning of one game maybe he can give you an out but that would be it. I'm not for it though. No use in risking the kids arm next year over 1 game.

[confucius say]

Fixing to have a little window to get started here. If what's just below hburg misses to the east, the next potential significant rain is bt red stick and Nola.

[Quaoarsking]

3:30 first pitch. Should be able to get both games in today.

[Goldendawg]

Any chance we get a game in this afternoon. What's going on with the weather there?

[Dawg61]

Lol he pitched 100+ yesterday...he will not pitch again in this Regional. Not a chance. Plumlee and Gordon might, but not Pilk

Here's a quote about Davidson's pitcher (Davidson is the team that eliminated UNC and is going to their first Super ever)

"Durin O’Linger: As if 330 postseason pitches wasn’t enough, Davidson’s ace followed up Friday’s 94-pitch outing with 34 pitches in relief Sunday to secure a trip to the super regionals."

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/college/article154359459.html

[Dental Dawg33]

My buzzard buddy that is there just said 3:30

[yjnkdawg]

Tin hat conspiracy: USM knew what the weather was going to do, why didn't they the move the games up?
After all the move on to the super if we don't get all the games in.


I think that was one of the reasons that they chose to play in the first game of the regional, although some said that was what the players wanted and it was to give them more rest. The games can still be played tomorrow, but the percentage of rain tomorrow is 70% and mainly after 1PM.

[TNDawg35]

Ask and yall shall recieve... I told yall its over... somone tell Gordon if he hits a couple bombs, ill buy him all the tamales he can eat!!!

So? Is Davidson's guy a projected top 10 pick next year and our 2018 Ace? No chance in hell AC risks that. Zero percent

[Dawg61]

I am not going back and forth over Pilk. It is my belief he can give us 2 innings in game 2 if needed. I will stand alone in that thought I guess but y'all will start asking for him in game 2 in a tight game with the pressure on for us to close the game out. Maybe we will get lucky and we don't see that scenario.

We ready now.

[oldwave]

He is something like a 24 year old 5th year senior with absolutely no pro future. He could care less about arm damage.

Could "not" care less

[Goldendawg]

Why have none of this regional's games been on any of ESPN's tv channels when so many other regional games have? I've watched all MSU games on WatchESPN of course. Just wondering why this regional didn't rate TV.

[CadaverDawg]

He threw over 110

There is very little chance Pilk would pitch but if in game 2 we were up by one with runners on in the 9th u can bet he would come in to get the last couple of outs.

[Dawg61]

Hahaha, Dawg61 did you know this before posting that link? Hahahaha

Yes, I was a pitcher too and I strongly believe pitchers are babied in current baseball with the pitch counts. Each pitcher should be viewed differently based on their mechanics, how much effort/stress they put into each pitch and how often they are in high stress innings. A guy like Ross Mitchell could throw 200 pitches and run a 1/2 marathon 4 hours later if needed. Someone like Trevor Rosenthal however needs to have his pitch count monitored heavily cause he goes max effort on every pitch.

I was a pitcher too, and I agree with everything you just said. However, that doesn't change the point of what we were discussing, which is that Pilk is done this Regional. If you want to debate pitchers being babied these days...I'm in total agreement with you

[CadaverDawg]

Highly doubtful. But I hope we get to find out

[TNDawg35]

If Pilk comes in and gets a few outs in GM2, he gets 2 cheesecakes!!

Guess we will find out Cann's mindset on this soon enough. Mark me down as thinking he will run Pilk out for 1-2 innings in game 2. I have no problems admitting when I am wrong.

[Dawg61]

If Pilk comes in and gets a few outs in GM2, he gets 2 cheesecakes!!

Haha if we win a natty I am making Cheesecake Factory t-shirts for this board and yours will be free of charge

Starting to look like we may not get to play at all. Lots of storms building in New Orleans area and moving NE.

Have they ruled out the 3:30 start yet?

[CadaverDawg]

Official word: If not completed by Tuesday, the higher seed advances.

So does that mean we can finish ON Tuesday? Or it has to be completed BEFORE Tuesday? This is a damn joke, we should have completed one game this morning

[It_Could_Happen]

If this thing comes down to the seeding rule, I don't know that I would ever recover from that. Southern getting to advance without us even getting to play would just be a garbage way for this thing to end.

[confucius say]

Yes

[HSVDawg]

Rain really doesn't help us imo. Plumlee and pilk will still be done. They get their game 1 starter back tomorrow

They aren't going to throw their Game 1 starter on 3 days rest in a non-elimination game. And they may not throw him at all if it jeopardizes him being full strength in the Super Regional. If we can take the first game that their ace doesn't pitch, we move into "anything can happen" territory in the 2nd game, and that's really all we can ask for. I think we benefit more from the extra day than they would.

[confucius say]

Yea I was just thinking, only MSU fans could have a 3+ page baseball game thread with no game.

Just wait till Hevesy conversation comes up

[preachermatt83]

Tarp back on. If we don't get anything in today then game 1 should be played at 9am Tmr and then game two whenever possible after that

[CadaverDawg]

If this thing comes down to the seeding rule, I don't know that I would ever recover from that. Southern getting to advance without us even getting to play would just be a garbage way for this thing to end.

It would suck, but another way to look at it....our chances aren't great of beating them 2 straight with our remaining pitching. So we'd always be able to say the only way they could beat us in a Regional is to have it rained out and it given to them.

[CadaverDawg]

Just wait till Hevesy conversation comes up

Hev likely was behind the decision to play at 1pm instead of 10am today.*

[confucius say]

Carskadon is saying by end of Tuesday. Stupid rule is stupid.

Lazy ass just didn't want to wake up before noon**

[preachermatt83]

I suspect we get one in tonight. When the sun goes down and the temp decreases a bit I suspect the rain will subside until temps begin to rise tomorrow. So play one tonight and one at 9am. U knw southern is praying for continued rain

[yjnkdawg]

According to the NCAA rules the games can be played on Tuesday. There is a 70% chance of rain Tuesday. Mainly after 1 PM. Wash Rinse Repeat.

Yep. Recruited a 2 star meteorologist to give him weather reports.

[ScoobaDawg]

Will be this be the first time a team will end their season in the playoffs on a winning note?

[I seen it dawg]

So if there will be another delay a few innings in, do we start someone else and let Billingsley take over after the delay?

[whataburger]

USM wanted to play at 10 and the NCAA said no.

[bgover4]

Ha, I want to beat USM bad but we are playing for the right to go to Baton rouge on short rest. IT will be great to claim that we made a super but the outlook on the baseball season looks about as dreary as the weather from here on out.

I will say if USM goes they have no chance. We cold probably make it go all 3 games if we can get Pilk back by game 2.

Anybody watching the AM Houston game? What a ****ing joke Houston is with their AstroTurf mound. Whole field for that matter. NCAA should never let them host.

[It_Could_Happen]

Is it a rule every game must be played in Hattiesburg? What about a neutral site? I know there is a turf field in Jackson. Troy and La Lafayette are also turf. Go somewhere the forecast will let you play a double header.

If I were betting, I'd agree. Who knows though? We were worse in '11 and almost took down Florida who was much better than lsu this year

You would think. But the rain was gone by 620 Saturday and the 1.7 inches received was too much to get the field ready, allegedly. Had until 11 to start.

If we can't finish out the Regional because USM's field is unfit they should have to forfeit.

Southern Miss should have to wear Ole Miss's "A League of Their Own" powder blue uniforms in the Supers if they get handed this Regional due to rain

USM should have called somebody that knew how to properly install an underground drainage system and which system would work.

Flash flood watch until 7 pm in Louisana... all that is heading towards Hattisburg after that...

There's a turf band field across the street. Just drop down some bases and a temporary fence.

I think bad field conditions favor the home team because they are better used to the field, the foul lines and probably have played under similar weather related conditions.

[CadaverDawg]

1 walk = 1 run

[CadaverDawg]

Rooker is back up there guessing like he did last year

Swing at first pitch slider? Take second pitch fastball strike? C'mon mane.

[Irondawg]

We are going to have to score 6-8 runs to probably win this game

[Lance Harbor]

Did MC Hammer puke a Camaro and then USM made it their jersey?

[Irondawg]

Anybody that throws mangum a strike on the first pitch is an idiot

[drunkernhelldawg]

How'd the run score?

[Dawg61]

2 quick outs attaboy JB, keep doing that

[Dawg61]

YES!!! 3 low stress quick ground balls out by JB, very nice inning

[bostondawg]

How'd the run score?

USM had runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs, singled up the middle.

[LC Dawg]

Nice inning by Billingsley.

[bostondawg]

Vansau lead off single. Hoping we get continued production from the bottom of the lineup.

[drunkernhelldawg]

USM had runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs, singled up the middle.

thanks

[LC Dawg]

Lovelady would get thrown out on a hard hit ball to the outfield.
I appreciate what he's done for us though.

[bulldogcountry1]

Lovelady grounds to third, the third baseman ranges over, dives, spins around, ties his left shoe, and throws out Lovelady at first.

[mparkerfd20]

We can't ever seem to get the big hit with 2 outs

[preachermatt83]

Our inability to do anything with runners on early will be what costs us this game

[CadaverDawg]

And of course, we strand 2 more. That's why we aren't going to win tonight. The bats. I never dreamed the bats would be what failed this team if you had asked me a month ago. But then again, shitty approaches lead to shitty results.

[Irondawg]

Yep had an opportunity there. Hunter just missed a double in that last ab.

[bostondawg]

4 runners stranded through first 2 innings. Gotta find that clutch hitting.

[mparkerfd20]

I'll take these groundouts all day long. Keep it up JB.

[CadaverDawg]

The Eagles will talk about beating us today for decades. Y'all get ready...nothing worse than 10 people talking about beating us

[msstate7]

I'll take that as progress. Once a runner was in scoring position, almost positive Cann put the take sign on till hitter got a strike. You don't see us taking

[LC Dawg]

Southern has a 2 out run scoring hit. We have failed at it twice. That's the ball game so far.

[Dawg61]

JB with another clean inning, 7 in a row retired

[LC Dawg]

The footing in the outfield may affect this game before it's over. I hope it's to our advantage.

[LC Dawg]

I'll take that as progress. Once a runner was in scoring position, almost positive Cann put the take sign on till hitter got a strike. You don't see us taking
Let's see what Mangum does.

[Dawg61]

Brown hit up the middle, 2 ducks on the pond 1 out, USM pitcher scuffling

[bostondawg]

Mangum ribeye! 1-1!

[msstate7]

Let's see what Mangum does.

Figured Cann put take on

[LC Dawg]

Good job Mangum!

[LC Dawg]

Figured Cann put take on
Oh yeah. No way he takes that first pitch otherwise. I'm surprised they can make him take a pitch.

[smootness]

How did Mangum not take 2nd on that throw?

[msstate7]

Oh yeah. No way he takes that first pitch otherwise. I'm surprised they can make him take a pitch.

Hopefully that RBI will make mangum rethink jumping the gun so early

[Apoplectic]

Ha dick cross insulted by color guy saying this is the matchup people in Mississippi were looking forward to

[CadaverDawg]

Damn you Vansau. Every damn time we need you to put us ahead you strikeout

[msbulldog]

Pitcher chased.

[Dawg61]

USM goes pitching change after 1 pitch to MacNamee, starter was at 58 pitches

[Apoplectic]

Garbage atbat by van

[LC Dawg]

We need to give Billingsley a cushion to work with. Let's see if Macnamee can be clutch.

[Saltydog]

holding my breath.

[CadaverDawg]

Macnamee will strand 2 more here.

[NCDawg]

Damn you Vansau. Every damn time we need you to put us ahead you strikeout

Yeah, he seems to do that pretty often. Not a good clutch hitter.

[gravedigger]

Is the sec network/ESPN doing?

[LC Dawg]

Balk. We'll take it.

[CadaverDawg]

Balk scores 1

2-1!

[Dawg61]

Pitcher just balked, 2-1 dawgs

[CadaverDawg]

Not feeling too good about Haywire being up right here

[Activated Alpha]

Holy crap Lovelady!!!

[CadaverDawg]

HAYWIRE BOMB!!!!!

[bostondawg]

Lovelady hitting bombs, he doesn't want to sprint to first.

[Dawg61]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!! 3 RUN BOMB BY LOVELADY!!!!! TAKE YOUR TIME TROTTING THE BASES BABY WE KNOW YOU WILL!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Atta boy, lovelady

[LC Dawg]

Damn Lovelady! Give 'em hell!
It's great to see him do that. He's worked his ass off.

[ScoobaDawg]

LOVELADY knockss it off their billboard BOOOOOM

[BeardoMSU]

Cole almost got that one, too.

[Dawg61]

Damn I thought Gordon just mashed another one, caught on the warning track, JB was able to take an hour nap during that 1/2 inning

[TNDawg35]

No one deserves to hit a bomb in that spot more than Josh Lovelady!! I salute you sir.....

And will eat another piece of cheesecake in your honor!

[Apoplectic]

Man keys is throwing BP

[CadaverDawg]

Josh F Lovelady

http://images4.fanpop.com/image/polls/780000/780177_1311254890237_full.jpg

[Cloak]

Lovelady deserved that one, he's a workhorse

[LC Dawg]

Time for Billingsley to eat up some innings.

[ScoobaDawg]

We need to give Billingsley a cushion to work with. Let's see if Macnamee can be clutch.

Done.

[CadaverDawg]

No one deserves to hit a bomb in that spot more than Josh Lovelady!! I salute you sir.....

And will eat another piece of cheesecake in your honor!

Yes yes yes

[msbulldog]

Lovelady for Most Valuable Grinder Of The Year!

[Todd4State]

Heck yeah Lovelady!

[Big4Dawg]

Could not have said it better myself.

[msbulldog]

No one deserves to hit a bomb in that spot more than Josh Lovelady!! I salute you sir.....

And will eat another piece of cheesecake in your honor!

You need to send Lovelady a piece!

[CadaverDawg]

Leave it to ****ing Billingsley to walk the leadoff after we spot him a 4 run lead

That pisses me the **** off

[msbulldog]

Might be getting close to the hook.

[LC Dawg]

No one deserves to hit a bomb in that spot more than Josh Lovelady!! I salute you sir.....

And will eat another piece of cheesecake in your honor!

We need to all pitch in and send him one.

[CadaverDawg]

Go get him

I swear MSU cannot stand success

[msstate7]

Unless JB can settle back in, we'll end up using all the pitching we have left to protect this lead leaving us with nothing tomorrow

[TNDawg35]

You need to send Lovelady a piece!

3 run bomb and your first ever is a whole damn cake!!

All i know is if we keep winning, 2 things are gonna happen.... 1 is im gonna be broke and 2 is im gonna fatter than i already am!!!

[CadaverDawg]

Now they want to give us an out and we can't throw a strike. I'm sorry but I am not a JB fan. How do you walk the leadoff after an offensive inning like that?

[Apoplectic]

I hate our pitching

[I seen it dawg]

Why won't someone rip his asshole out?

[Activated Alpha]

Another walk. Bases loaded 0 outs...

[CadaverDawg]

Son of a bitch, BILLINGSLEY! Damn you

[Apoplectic]

Pull his sorry ass out

[CadaverDawg]

This is ***** baseball by Billingsley. Gutless shit. We finally get a lead and Billingsley shits his pants

[msbulldog]

3 run bomb and your first ever is a whole damn cake!!

All i know is if we keep winning, 2 things are gonna happen.... 1 is im gonna be broke and 2 is im gonna fatter than i already am!!!

Well if your going to get fatter I guess strawberry cheesecake is the way to go.

[I seen it dawg]

****kng goddamit muther****ing cocksucking muther****ing **** *****. ****ing Billingsley you muther****er throw a ****** strike.

[Activated Alpha]

They aren't swinging at his breaking pitches anymore. Got to go get him

[I seen it dawg]

Billingsley you're being a ****ing *****.

[msstate7]

Cole warming up. I know we can't worry about tomorrow, but who would start if Cole comes in this game?

[Dawg61]

Unbelievable how almost none of our pitchers can throw consistent strikes, really how does that happen, how do you become an SEC pitcher without being able to teach yourself how to find the ****ing glove? It's so ridiculous

[bostondawg]

JBill has so much potential. It's all mental for him. Gotta keep your cool.

[I seen it dawg]

There you go muther****er let's go! Finish then****ing inning

[Jack Lambert]

Just saying.

[msbulldog]

He's humming em now.

[ScoobaDawg]

K! 1 away, that was a NASTY looking slider

[I seen it dawg]

Please hit a ground ball to hunter

[bostondawg]

BOOM

[Activated Alpha]

Attaboy!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Stovall

[CadaverDawg]

Oh My!!!

[ScoobaDawg]

That Ball is MOVING damn

[msbulldog]

[Lance Harbor]

[bostondawg]

Yeah I'm gonna need a bourbon with that cheesecake.
