Super Regional Thread. Gm1. Corndogs vs Cheesecakes....

[preachermatt83]

That was at codys freaking ankles

[MarketingBully]

Man vs boys... ESP with the zone Lange gets

He's getting a full 6 inches off the plate.

[HereComesTheSpiral]

So is this where we get butt hurt for years about a pitch close to our hitters heard like the coonasses

[Activated Alpha]

Feel like we are just playing with fire...

[maroonmania]

Man vs boys... ESP with the zone Lange gets

Still pissed we didn't try to squeeze in another run in the 1st inning. Just getting a 2nd run would have been huge. We haven't even threatened to score since then.

[preachermatt83]

This ump sucks

[MarketingBully]

I call bullshit on that strikeout against Cody.

[LC Dawg]

If Lange keeps getting that strike zone against Rooker he won't hit anything tonight. He's getting in a hole on strikes that should be balls.

[msstate7]

Just a matter of tom

[msbulldog]

That 3rd strike was below the knees.

[preachermatt83]

Still pissed we didn't try to squeeze in another run in the 1st inning. Just getting a 2nd run would have been huge. We haven't even threatened to score since then.

With a force at home?

[sandwolf]

Damn....in 6 innings pitched, Lange has 3 innings worth of strikeouts.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Lange is a good pitcher but it's not right he gets calls that Pilk can't get

[Bothrops]

This ump sucks

Home cookin'

[BeardoMSU]

Ok, Pilk, give us a 1-2-3 inning on 9 pitches.

[BayouDawg]

We look completely lost at the plate. Rooker whiffed at a meat ball.

[maroonmania]

He's getting a full 6 inches off the plate.

With Lange getting the strike calls he is getting there is NO way we will score again unless he just hangs one and we knock it out.

[Hypnodawg]

Lang is getting calls that pilk isn't, that is for sure

[MarketingBully]

Damn....in 6 innings pitched, Lange has 3 innings worth of strikeouts.

On balls that are six inches off the plate and at the ankles. A lot of pitchers would have that many strikeouts with that zone.

[preachermatt83]

It's obvious we are not getting the same strike calls Lange Is.

[maroonmania]

We look completely lost at the plate. Rooker whiffed at a meat ball.

Well we look lost because we are up against one of the top 2 or 3 pitchers in the country who has his stuff working.

[ShotgunDawg]

Lange is a reliever in MLB. Can't pitch backwards like he does and have success as a starter in MLB.

Funny thing is that his curveball is rarely a strike. It's a pitch recognition problem.

[msstate7]

Where was the 0-1 pitch?

[preachermatt83]

We look completely lost at the plate. Rooker whiffed at a meat ball.

Man it was. It was a hanging curve that he should have smashed.

[Saltydog]

NT

[preachermatt83]

Lange is a reliever in MLB. Can't pitch backwards like he does and have success as a starter in MLB.

Absolutely correct.

[msstate7]

So best case right now is pilk gets us to the 8th... gonna need 2 from self

[BayouDawg]

Well we look lost because we are up against one of the top 2 or 3 pitchers in the country who has his stuff working.

And he's getting calls a half foot off the plate

[NCDawg]

Appears our only hope is to hold them scoreless. We can't hit this guy.

[Saltydog]

NT

[preachermatt83]

Can't do that Pilk.

[preachermatt83]

The ole 131 is the breaking ball inside.

[maroonmania]

With a force at home?

Well it probably would have needed to be a suicide squeeze but it was our best chance to make contact.

[The Federalist Engineer]

92 pitches for Pilk...20 extra pitches caused by Ump

[preachermatt83]

We better get to hitting. 1 run will not win this game.

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

Outstanding

[msbulldog]

Yes!

[preachermatt83]

Pilk!!!

[sandwolf]

Yes sir!!

[msstate7]

We desperately need a long inning

[MarketingBully]

NT

Ask and you shall receive....:)

[BayouDawg]

Pilk is competing tonight!

[LC Dawg]

Pilk is giving us a chance. He's pitching a hell of a game. We've got to extend some at bats against Lange and give him some rest.

[BeardoMSU]

OK, bats.....Wake. The. ****. Up. **** you Jobbu!

[MarketingBully]

We desperately need a long inning

I just want to add one or two insurance runs and have Pilk just get us to the eighth and hand it over to Self.

[confucius say]

Scratch for one here. Let's go!!! 2-0 would feel huge in this one

[preachermatt83]

Mangum never looks at pitches and now he looks at a hanging curve ball.

[msstate7]

Mangum hitting ball in air. Gives himself no chance bc he has zero pop

[Saltydog]

NT

[confucius say]

Vansau. It's 1-0 and you take a fastball in for a strike?? Then it's 2-1 and you foul off a fastball. Get your front foot down and get the hands there.

[msstate7]

Jake needs to drop a bunt. These flyballs are terrible

[preachermatt83]

Pilk is giving us a chance. He's pitching a hell of a game. We've got to extend some at bats against Lange and give him some rest.

Amen.

[msstate7]

Thank you, hunter

[BeardoMSU]

Can't believe Lange didn't get that strike call, lol. I'll take it, though.

[preachermatt83]

Come on Elijah. We need you to do something here.

[confucius say]

Good walk Vansau.

Pinch hit for Gordon this inning if a guy is on?

[Saltydog]

NT

[BayouDawg]

Lang has left that curve ball hanging 3 times in the last two innings. Maybe we can barrel one up soon.

[msbulldog]

Bullshit calls for strikes.

[confucius say]

I liked the hit and run on 0-0 there. Trying to manufacture smn.

[preachermatt83]

Squared him up. Just to somebody.

[msstate7]

Macnamee needs to hit the iron this offseason. Turn these warning track shots into HRs

[preachermatt83]

Lovelady looks he's terrified at bat.

[preachermatt83]

Crap!

[msstate7]

Jump for no reason... lsu showboating haha

[IMissJack]

1 freaking hit? Reminds me of Uecker in Major League.

[confucius say]

Lovelady almost with a huge bomb. Geez.

Get us one more pilk.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Got good cuts that inning

[BayouDawg]

Man I thought lovelady had him one. Maybe we're starting to recognize lang's stuff.

[BeardoMSU]

Josh gave it a ride.

[Saltydog]

Nt

[preachermatt83]

If we can hold them here I think we will have a good top of the 8th. Lange is ha going curves left and right now.

[BeardoMSU]

Got good cuts that inning

Yep. Hopefully we can get into him with 9-1-2 coming up next....

[msstate7]

After those 2 deep flies will PM let Lange face top of order next inning?

[preachermatt83]

Calling it now, Cole goes yard next inning.

[LC Dawg]

Lovelady gave that a ride. Lange is not as sharp as he was. Need a quick inning from Pilk here.

[Saltydog]

NT

[Bothrops]

That was an hr just about anywhere else.

[preachermatt83]

If we can hold them here I think we will have a good top of the 8th. Lange is ha going curves left and right now.

Hanging

[EdDawg]

I must have missed that we were playing at TD ameritrade. These balls seemed to be getting crushed but getting caught at the wall.

[preachermatt83]

This will be a big inning for LSU

[msstate7]

Uh oh... that's why I want Alexander at 3b and Cody in lf

[preachermatt83]

That's how u pitch to a sac bunt.

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

That last inside pitch was a strike...bullshit not getting that call.

[Saltydog]

NT

[preachermatt83]

Uh oh... that's why I want Alexander at 3b and Cody in lf

Please get off that. Alexander is not going to play.

[LC Dawg]

Plumlee?

[Bothrops]

Yep, this bridge is on the verge of collapse

[confucius say]

Take the out!!!

[BayouDawg]

When's the last time we had an actual 3b? Don't get me wrong I love Cody. It just seems like forever since we didn't have to just plug someone there and hope for the best.

[preachermatt83]

Pilk is done.

[LC Dawg]

WTF Pilkington? He's giving you an out.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Great job Pilk, 102 pitches in warrior performance

[msstate7]

Please get off that. Alexander is not going to play.

He played last inning vs usm. In a 1-0 type game defense is just as important as a hit

[preachermatt83]

Just don't give up more than 1 here and I'm happy.

[maroonmania]

Good gracious, if they want to give you the out then TAKE the out! A freaking walk when they are wanting to bunt?

[Activated Alpha]

Ugh, gotta get out of this

[preachermatt83]

He played last inning vs usm. In a 1-0 type game defense is just as important as a hit

Yea as a def sub is fine...as a starter absolutely not.

[BayouDawg]

Great job Pilk, 102 pitches in warrior performance

Yep he competed his tail off tonight.

[msstate7]

2-1 lsu in 3,2,1...

[preachermatt83]

Great job Pilk, 102 pitches in warrior performance

Outstanding job.

[confucius say]

A routine ground ball and a walk. Geez

[LC Dawg]

This is a big spot for Plumlee. I hope he's up for it. Double play would be nice.

[MarketingBully]

Why the **** didn't we let them get the bunt down? How was walking the guy better then taking one out and a guy at second?

[BayouDawg]

And now I need some xanax as we turn it over to our bullpen.

[Saltydog]

NT

[msstate7]

Yea as a def sub is fine...as a starter absolutely not.

Cody at 3b Cole at dh vansau in rf doesn't make us better than Cody in LF vansau at dh and Alexander at 3b. In fact, it makes us worse defensively

[confucius say]

Holding that order scoreless through 6 is unbelievable. Great job.

Plum won't full them, so hope they hit it at people.

[preachermatt83]

Take the out and go on. Jeez

[preachermatt83]

Cody at 3b Cole at dh vansau in rf doesn't make us better than Cody in LF vansau at dh and Alexander at 3b. In fact, it makes us worse defensively

Alexander hitting makes us worse. Period.

[Activated Alpha]

I hope someone is eating cheesecake

[maroonmania]

Even the ball the LSU guy bunted was not a strike.

[confucius say]

Just hold them to one run here Plum

[msstate7]

Plumlee put some mustard on that

[preachermatt83]

Throw strikes!

[preachermatt83]

Plumlee put some mustard on that

How fast?

[msstate7]

How fast?

92-3

[preachermatt83]

What a throw!!!

[confucius say]

MANGUM!!!!!

Suck it PM

[BayouDawg]

It's times like these I truly hate mini me for his boulder tossing training regimen

[Dawg61]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Jake!!!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

MANgum!

[sandwolf]

Yes Sir!

[preachermatt83]

Please don't punch the wall.

[BeardoMSU]

****ing Jake! Now lets hope they don't **** us on review.

[maroonmania]

Great throw Mangum!

[BayouDawg]

Hosed! Hunter renfroesque!

[msstate7]

Good throw. Great tag

[confucius say]

He's out. Damn PM is such a whiny prick.

[MarketingBully]

Mangum style!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Plum!

[smootness]

Holy crap!!! Yes!!!!

[LC Dawg]

Woooooo!!!!! My neighbors probably are wondering what the hell just happened at my house.

[Saltydog]

all year.

[RocketDawg]

Was he out at home? I didn't think so in real time, but it looks like he was in the replay.

That's why we pay Jake the big bucks. **

[preachermatt83]

They are reviewing it

[confucius say]

Good throw. Great tag

Reverse that

[preachermatt83]

He's out

[confucius say]

No way that is overturned

[msstate7]

Reverse that

Look how far he comes with that tag

[NCDawg]

When did they start reviewing so many baseball plays?

[drunkernhelldawg]

what a play!

[BayouDawg]

I wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest if they had reversed that

[RocketDawg]

Call stands.

[Dawg61]

They were trying there best to **** us over, no sir!!

[confucius say]

You should lose a mound visit if you request a replay and lose. Just like losing a timeout in football.

[preachermatt83]

Cole going yard.

[Activated Alpha]

Now wake the bats up and get some runs Dawgs!!

[maroonmania]

When did they start reviewing so many baseball plays?

They review most all close scoring plays.

[confucius say]

Look how far he comes with that tag

Not as far as the throw was

[RocketDawg]

I wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest if they had reversed that

If he'd been called safe, that would have stood too. Very close play. I'm still not sure.

[CadaverDawg]

Gonna give away another out here. Gordon coming up

[msstate7]

Cole going yard.

I'll settle for a walk, single, hbp, anything

[Red Sox Dawg]

He's out. Damn PM is such a whiny prick.

Huge mangina.

[confucius say]

If he'd been called safe, that would have stood too. Very close play. I'm still not sure.

You must have a little tv. It was very clear on mine

[preachermatt83]

Almost

[shoeless joe]

I think he is as safe but no way to reverse it.

Gordon just missed it

[BayouDawg]

Cole going yard.

I thought he got that one!

[Dawg61]

Gordon keeps swinging like that he's gonna be hitting HRs

[msstate7]

Cole seen what 5 pitches tonight?

[MarketingBully]

If he'd been called safe, that would have stood too. Very close play. I'm still not sure.

He was out. Lovelady's foot blocked the guy from touching home plate.

[maroonmania]

Thought Gordon got more of that one. Wasn't really even that close to going out.

[confucius say]

First base open. They pitch to Rooker?

[preachermatt83]

Atta boy Stovall. He's squared it up all night.

[LC Dawg]

Great job Stovall. Get him home guys.

[BayouDawg]

We're seeing the ball a lot better. We've been making good contact the past two innings

[confucius say]

He was out. Lovelady's foot blocked the guy from touching home plate.

How are people not seeing that. Hell both announcers said he was out clearly

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Stovall finally gets to Lang..

[maroonmania]

Just one run here would be huge!

[LC Dawg]

Thought Gordon got more of that one. Wasn't really even that close to going out.

Ball seems to be dying in the outfield all night.

[CadaverDawg]

Helped us by walking Rook. He hasn't been close to hitting Lange.

[Saltydog]

and Cody to come through here. I don't think one run is going to win it.

[Percho]

I would bunt grid and take one shot of cody scoring two

[LC Dawg]

Drive it to the gap Gridley.

[maroonmania]

Ball seems to be dying in the outfield all night.

Be better to have Bragg in that spot. Everything to RF is getting knocked down.

[confucius say]

Grid fouled two fastballs straight back. Means timing was good. Just missed both

[BayouDawg]

2 good cuts by grid

[preachermatt83]

Gridley wgat are u freaking doing.

[confucius say]

Damn it we needed that wild pitch with a guy on third

[maroonmania]

Gridley strikes out on a ball 2 feet off the plate.

[CadaverDawg]

Good grief, Gridley. That thing bounced 15 feet in front

[LC Dawg]

What was Gridley swinging at?

[BayouDawg]

Well atleast we have 2 in scoring position. Dang Grid gotta be more disciplined than that.

[maroonmania]

Damn it we needed that wild pitch with a guy on third

If Gridley had taken the pitch you would have 2nd and 3rd with still just one out.

[CadaverDawg]

That guy on 3rd could be the diff btwn a W & L. This is where you need to come thru to beat a team like this

[msstate7]

I know gridley automatically out, but I wish he'd run there anyway... maybe catcher throws ball away

[drunkernhelldawg]

Time to come through

[IMissJack]

Yeeeeessss

[CadaverDawg]

Cody F Brown

[msstate7]

Cody!!!

[Dawg61]

**** YES CODY BROWN!!!!!!!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

DAWGSSSSSS!!

[The Federalist Engineer]

Cody By God Brown

[LC Dawg]

Hell yeah Cody!!! Suck on that Lange!

[maroonmania]

CODY!!

[confucius say]

Downtown Cody brown baby!!!!

[Percho]

My theory paid off just wasn't done as I called it.

[BeardoMSU]

Hot damn!!!!!!

[preachermatt83]

Whoooooo!!!

[smootness]

Cody Brown is insane.

[BeardoMSU]

My theory paid off just wasn't done as I called it.

Lol, we'll let you slide.

[confucius say]

Vansau give us one more baby

[The Federalist Engineer]

If Manieri were a Cheesecake - he would be "Runny Diarrhea"

[BayouDawg]

Cody is as clutch as it gets!

[confucius say]

I'm glad we will never have to face Lange again

[LC Dawg]

If Manieri were a Cheesecake - he would be "Runny Diarrhea"

Hahahahahaha!

[BeardoMSU]

I'm glad we will never have to face Lange again

This^^ Lol.

[maroonmania]

How long do you wait to go to Riley Self?

Assume it's 3-0 going to b8, how long leash you give plumlee? I'd love to not use self tonight if possible

[Cloak]

No walks.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

How long do you wait to go to Riley Self?
If a runner gets on with less than two out I'd go to him. Two outs I might let two get on.

[confucius say]

This is big making Hess throw tonight. He is their nest arm in the pen.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Let's pick up this run too

[msstate7]

Maybe it's better to go self and save plumlee for tomorrow

[BeardoMSU]

Maybe it's better to go self and save plumlee for tomorrow

Yeah, I agree. Plumlee is better for long relief if the starter gets in trouble.

[maroonmania]

Assume it's 3-0 going to b8, how long leash you give plumlee? I'd love to not use self tonight if possible

Get this one nailed down and he wouldn't have to pitch until Monday if needed.

[confucius say]

Stay with plum for now.

[preachermatt83]

I'd stick with plum here

[confucius say]

See if plum can get them out. As long as he does, stay with him. Self is not a sure thing anyway.

[preachermatt83]

No free passes.

[confucius say]

Get ahead!!! Geez

[LC Dawg]

Our guys need to stay focused. LSU has some dangerous hitters. No free passes and no errors. Let's get six outs and give Manieri a fresh tampon for bed.

[msstate7]

I know it's not over at all, but if we hold on, does lsu go walker tomorrow? I hope not... poche not great imo

[preachermatt83]

Good grief plum just throw strikes.

[maroonmania]

Well this one is far from over. Especially if we start walking folks. Now 2-0 against Roberson.

[preachermatt83]

Our guys need to stay focused. LSU has some dangerous hitters. No free passes and no errors. Let's get six outs and give Manieri a fresh tampon for bed.

Absolutely

[preachermatt83]

Get that gomer outta there

I know it's not over at all, but if we hold on, does lsu go walker tomorrow? I hope not... poche not great imo

Zip it

[Bothrops]

This game is far from over

[msstate7]

Get self ready

[LC Dawg]

We've got a 3 run lead Plumlee. Throw strikes!

[maroonmania]

I would go to Self now!

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Get somebody else right now Cann

[BayouDawg]

Dear lord plum! You have one job! Throw strikes!

[Saltydog]

[preachermatt83]

Mangum covers ground in a hurry

Mulkey sighting. Gag me

I don't wanna jinx it, but I don't think they've shown Kramer's mom once tonight.

[preachermatt83]

NT

Haha! Horse face!! Hahaha!!

[preachermatt83]

Please go to self.

[BayouDawg]

And of course their big bat comes up with a chance to tie it with one swing. Freakin walks

[Bothrops]

I think we'll need more runs to hold on

[maroonmania]

Is he really not going to bring in Self for Deichmann?

[confucius say]

I'd go Barlow here for lefty lefty, but he isn't ready. Price or self

[Saltydog]

a dinger or two. Damn, we need an out here.

[CadaverDawg]

You don't walk anybody, and this Deichman at bat isn't nearly as scary
