Vandy game 1

[msstate7]

Still raining in Starkville? Chances we play tonight?

[Bulldog1]

Raining now, but according to Twitter, still slated for 6:30 start.

[Doc]

Rain has pretty much stopped but have had a lot of rain today. Nothing official but I think they try to play ball.

[preachermatt83]

Not that it means anything but Cohen and Corbin have been seen together twice today.

[starkvegasdawg]

Rain all but done for today. Still overcast and about 57. A cool damp 57.

[jacksondawg]

Looks like the team is taking the tarp off the field right now.

[MaroonFlounder]

Here is my fear.

Pilk pitches another gem but gets a no decision or a loss.

[Bulldog1]

Lineup
1)Mangum
2)Stovall
3)Allen

Good start. We need you, pilk

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

jay powell

[Bulldog1]

jay powell

Thanks

[msstate7]

Tv hitting on pitch count. Pilk not gonna go long at this pace

[Skydawg1]

Good 'ol Pitch-count Pilkington.

[msstate7]

Vandy has the worst lineups I have seen

[Drugdog]

Vandys unis are butt ugly

[Bulldog1]

Nice work, Pilk.

[Bulldog1]

Stovall walks. 1 on, 1 out for Tanner Allen

[msstate7]

Good job, hunter

[Bulldog1]

Good job, hunter

Nice to see him take pitches... Learn from him, Jake.

Vanderbilt Ace has No Academic Major - another Vanderbilt baseball Scam:

Big chunk of the team has no major or is in “general studies”

Brent Rooker graduated with two business degrees, on the flip side

[msstate7]

Awful, Luke. You lost that AB when you offered at that first breaker.

[Bulldog1]

LA strikes out
Water is wet

[Bulldog1]

Leave 2 on base. Going to 2nd, scoreless

[Todd4State]

I don't know if it's a scam as much as fallacy that the baseball players care about the Vanderbilt education. They're there because their coach can get them to MLB.

0-0 score right now.

[Coach34]

Awful, Luke. You lost that AB when you offered at that first breaker.

It's SEC pitching time now. No more pretenders

[msstate7]

Very nice pilk.

We really need to find a way to get 2 this weekend. Mizzou is really bad, so we could potentially start 4-2 in sec with a series win this weekend

[Drugdog]

Drinking already

[msstate7]

It's SEC pitching time now. No more pretenders

Bad start for him for sure. He had been laying off that pitch for the most part and driving outside to RF. That AB looked like same ol Luke. Tighten up, LA

[Bulldog1]

Very nice pilk.

Would be good for confidence. I’m saving my melt for a few weeks.

[Bulldog1]

Dang it, Hatcher hits into double play.

[Bulldog1]

First pitch fly out to center ends the inning.

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Dang it, Hatcher hits into double play.

no patience

[Bulldog1]

Inside the park home run. Are you serious?

[TNDawg35]

I'm watching the bases loaded on SECN and Ark is gonna beat the brakes off us... However I'm starting to think a lot of people are gonna do that this yr...

[msstate7]

2 is probably 1 too many runs for us.

[Skydawg1]

Inside the park home run. Are you serious?Triple, plus error is the official play.

[msstate7]

I'm watching the bases loaded on SECN and Ark is gonna beat the brakes off us... However I'm starting to think a lot of people are gonna do that this yr...

Yeah, well they are the 2nd best sec team, so probably so

[msstate7]

Triple, plus error is the official play.

Who is the error on?

[Skydawg1]

Who is the error on?Mangum.

[msstate7]

Mangum.

He having a hell of a week

[Skydawg1]

He having a hell of a weekI personally saw him get burned Wed night down in Biloxi. Maybe he should play deep, like his walk up music album title.

[msstate7]

Jake with a walk!

[msstate7]

What a catch by vandy catcher. A freshman... I am jealous

[msstate7]

Stovall has 2 walks and Jake has 1. That is crazy

[msstate7]

3-1 pitch is the one that got him. It was low

[Bulldog1]

3-0 count, end up hitting into a double play. I’m going to be sick.

[moss818]

Man this team is hard to watch.

[99jc]

Man this team is hard to watch.

This is one shitty team...how did it get this bad.

[Bulldog1]

This is one shitty team...how did it get this bad.

Having a coach sexting in the dugout during practice certainly didn’t help.

[Saltydog]

more I see the more I realize we're going to finish last in the West.

[moss818]

But damn Pilk can deal! What a waste of an ace.

[msstate7]

Atta boy, luke

[Drugdog]

I tried to watch. Too painful. pitiful.

[sack07]

I tried to watch. Too painful. pitiful.

What, specifically, was too painful to watch?

[Todd4State]

This is one shitty team...how did it get this bad.

Poor roster management in recruiting under Cohen- which is why we are starting a ton of freshmen. Trying to cut corners by recruiting too many JUCO players who aside from 2016 haven't produced for the most part. A ton of pitchers getting hurt and having to recover. And then Cann apparently being too full of himself and more interested in his sidepiece than his actual job.

I think that pretty much sums it up.

2-0 Vanderbilt.

[preachermatt83]

There is no way jordon Anderson is worse than vansau

[Drugdog]

Can we hit it out of the infield?

[Bulldog1]

Breaking ball in the dirt, swinging strike 3. Inning over

[msstate7]

Can we hit it out of the infield?

We just got a linedrive single to lf

[Bulldog1]

There is no way jordon Anderson is worse than vansau

It’s nearly impossible

[Saltydog]

in the year? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[msstate7]

What a terrible decision by pilk

[preachermatt83]

That's crap is not on Pilk. FoamBat was late getting to the dang bag. He brings absolutely nothing to this team.

[preachermatt83]

Who?

You are an idiot.

[msstate7]

Nice, pilk

[Coach34]

FoamBat has successfully surplanted Hump as the most overrated baseball player in State history

[msstate7]

FoamBat has successfully surplanted Hump as the most overrated baseball player in State history

Overrated, lol... I am one of like the 5% of State fans that do not hate on the kid all day, every day

[msstate7]

I do not think you can let Skelton hit again in this game.

[HoopsDawg]

I do not think you can let Skelton hit again in this game.

nope, but we will. Smart move would be to PH hit for him with Mac next AB and bring in Gilbert.

[MaroonFlounder]

It’s a shame this team can’t get Pilk any runs. It will be a theme all year. He could have double digit losses and a sub-3.0 ERA.

[DawgRockur]

That's crap is not on Pilk. FoamBat was late getting to the dang bag. He brings absolutely nothing to this team.

Please don't be a sheep/follower and use this "nickname" because your idol started it.
This "nickname" is disgusting and should be done away with forever. Pitiful to hear our fans degrading our players like this.

Grow the 17 up and call the kid by his name.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Vansau should sit the bench. He has been the most disappointing player this year for me. Skelton is better than Gilbert IMO but that aint saying much.

Both of them look like they think they are out before they step in the box

[HoopsDawg]

might have to move him to Sunday's.

I've been saying it for months, Stovall should be our catcher.

[BuckyIsAB****]

I've been saying it for months, Stovall should be our catcher.

Who plays 2nd?

[Bully13]

our hitting is a steaming pile of fresh shit.

The nickname is childish and not a great comment on the intelligence of those who use it.

[HoopsDawg]

Who plays 2nd?

Rowdey or Tanner Allen. They both came in as middle infielders.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Rowdey or Tanner Allen. They both came in as middle infielders.

Id be fine with that. I think we know what Skelton is. Both those kids are going to be good for us

[MetEdDawg]

I've been saying it for months, Stovall should be our catcher.

I'm shocked we moved him so quickly from catcher. Yeah he's short. But that kid right now is better than any catcher we have on the team. Dude had a cannon from behind the plate in high school and a ridiculous pop time. I clocked him between 1.95 and 2.05 on multiple occasions in high school.

As far as this team goes, we basically have holes all over our lineup. Alexander is a hole. Skelton is a hole. Vansau is close to hole. Macnamee is close too. I'm stunned we haven't just committed to the youth movement. I get we probably want Anderson to wait. But why at this point? There's no way he's worse than this, so we must be wanting to RS him. Which is dumb. If he can play, he needs to play because we are going to struggle to make a regional if we can't hit. Go freshmen with the few solid upperclassmen and roll the dice.

[Skydawg1]

Haha...LA with another stellar error allows two more to score.

[HoopsDawg]

Yikes, 2 run error from LA.

[msstate7]

Luke deserves to be ripped for that

[BuckyIsAB****]

LA I try taking up for you and you shit the bed.

Making it hard. 7 must be furious

[preachermatt83]

Good grief

[Bulldog1]

If he ain’t gonna play defense, put Westburg in.

[Bully13]

2 more runs. unearned. we now have more errors than hits.

[msstate7]

LA I try taking up for you and you shit the bed.

Making it hard. 7 must be furious

He has to make that play. 3 errors with our offense on a Friday night in sec equals same winning % of a 16 seed vs a 1

[HoopsDawg]

Agree 100%. Here's the deal, neither Skelton nor Gilbert are going to be our catcher next year. So go ahead and move Stovall back there where he was the gatorade player of the year in Alabama. And this allows you to move Rowdey to 2B and play Jordan Anderson in LF. I don't care if Jordan hits .200, he has a ton of upside and he will figure it out.

Problem is, Henderson is basically a lame duck coach so I'm not sure he cares about the future.

[Coach34]

The nickname is childish and not a great comment on the intelligence of those who use it.

yeah- it's nothing like "headshotpeters" or "nickgotti"...its a ****ing nickname you whining woman

[msstate7]

Out, but I love that swing from allen. Hit to opposite field with authority

[preachermatt83]

You are an idiot.

Nice call.

[msstate7]

Nice call.

You said it was not on pilk for waiting so long to throw to 1st. You were wrong... pilk has to take the out. You really should change your user name. You give your profession a terrible look by ripping kids. Preachers have a higher calling imo. Fire away

[DawgRockur]

Hey, moron... c34 didn't start that nickname.

Hey, sheep.. thanks for proving my point. I never said he did. But, of course, you bring his name up. Sheep.

[preachermatt83]

I'm done with henderson.

[Bully13]

whole lotta not give a 17 going on.

[DawgRockur]

Henderson knows he is not going to be our head coach. I just hate that his effort is showing this as well.

[preachermatt83]

You are making yourself look dumber with every post

[preachermatt83]

Now this we agree on

[msstate7]

I would use McQ here. No reason to burn anyone of consequence

Wonder if he's got that "I don't care" attitude a little more tonight cause Cohen was courting Corbin so much today

[msstate7]

James, you ok, dude?

[preachermatt83]

Says the "preacher" calling someone dumb.

Yea, cause stating the obvious is so sinful. Good grief.

[preachermatt83]

James, you ok, dude?

Looks like he don't have a clue where the ball is gonna go when he releases it.

[parabrave]

Somebody go head slap the whistler/

[DawgRockur]

Wonder if he's got that "I don't care" attitude a little more tonight cause Cohen was courting Corbin so much today

Hope you're right. Just can't see Corbin leaving Vandy. He's built an elite program in one of the best cities in America.

[preachermatt83]

Was that fastball from James just 83 mph?? What's up with that.

[Skydawg1]

Somebody go head slap the whistler/Maybe one of our fans not huddling under the upper deck will go take him out.

You are prob right, I doubt he leaves but that ain't stopping Cohen from courting him. Lol

Wes Johnson is laughing at this.

[msstate7]

If that is an accurate reading and he is this wild, bad, bad sign

[preachermatt83]

That FB was 82!!! That's not good!! He's been throwing 90+

[preachermatt83]

If that is an accurate reading and he is this wild, bad, bad sign

Exactly.

[preachermatt83]

Wes Johnson is laughing at this.

+1

[msstate7]

We are not winning tonight, but we need to score a couple to feel better going into tomorrow.

[Bully13]

at this point, what difference does it matter?

[msstate7]

at this point, what difference does it matter?

Shut up, Hillary lol

[msstate7]

Skelton just had our best AB of the game. Nice job

[HoopsDawg]

I wish we had a power hitter or 2. It's tough to single teams to death.

[msstate7]

Esp with 4 singles lol

[Bulldog1]

At least I have the Braves to look forward to. Hopefully they don’t suck too.

Best case... wildcard contender

In reality though, I think they will be around a .500 club, which is an upgrade. Next year, we make noise

[preachermatt83]

What we are getting is a preview of what we are gonna look like at the plate every single weekend in sec play.

[HoopsDawg]

would have been a tough catch, but that's 2 bad angles from Mangum.

[Bulldog1]

Let me go bump the Braves thread- I have some comments about today, and I’d hate to hijack this game thread.

He has to learn when to just play the ball off the wall too.

[Bulldog1]

And watching the other SEC teams, they can SMASH. Will be a long season

Albies hitting ball out from left and right side? That was great

[HoopsDawg]

And watching the other SEC teams, they can SMASH. Will be a long season

I look at next year as the official opening of the new dude. Of course, next year could be a struggle too if we don't get some legit pitchers into school.

By the way, JT Ginn has already hit 8 homers this year. And I heard he was hitting 97+ on the gun.

[Bulldog1]

Albies hitting ball out from left and right side? That was great

That was awesome. What was up with that lineup today, sans Albies?

[preachermatt83]

By the way, JT Ginn has already hit 8 homers this year. And I heard he was hitting 97+ on the gun.

Unless we screw up this hire Ginn will play for the maroon and white. He will be draft eligible after his sophomore year.

Not for me I know but I think we get him.

Would be great, but I think these kids sometimes put this info out for leverage purposes. Would love to be surprised

[HoopsDawg]

You really think ginn will be here?

not really, but the dude hits so good. I don't think he wants to quit hitting. MLB wants him as a pitcher.

[Liverpooldawg]

yeah- it's nothing like "headshotpeters" or "nickgotti"...its a ****ing nickname you whining woman

Yep, childish and represents the intelligence of those who use it to a T.

[msbulldog]

Commerce Comet knows Ginn and his dad and he seems to think we get him.

One of the posters on here who is good friends with his family said it would take first round money for him to go. He and his family are huge Bulldog fans so I think there’s a chance we get him but teams know he’ll be hard to sign. If we can get a Dan McDonnell or a Schlossnagle here, we will be setup pretty sweet anyway imo as those guys are as elite as elite recruiters you can get. Especially McDonnell who imo could hit the ground running with the contacts he already built up when he was at Ole Miss.

[maroonmania]

I think I'm in the boat just to go ahead and blow off this year and primarily play the young guys and see what happens. At least if we do that we might be pretty good next year. I'm thinking we are going to continue to suck this year no matter what we do because we can't score.

OM folks believe that McDonnell is waiting for Bianco to leave so he can come "home" to oxford.

I just flipped to the OM game and TN has a guy throwing 94,95,96.

[Bothrops]

[Saltydog]

years anyway.

years anyway.

Define rape and pillage. We play 8 scheduled times... how many wins they get?
