Need vandy to get this comeback

Insert Fred Sanford grabbing his chest

[I seen it dawg]

Huge opportunity with them not starting their Sunday guy

[preachermatt83]

Bad time for Jake to get in a slump.

[I seen it dawg]

I'm not a fan of Rooney but he made a good point about hitters trying to do too much. Swinging at a lot more pitches out of the zone. This lefty is sneaking it up on us.

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy tanner. This kid gonna be really good

[I seen it dawg]

Great job tanner running the bases

[I seen it dawg]

That's what a clean up hitter does!! Great job henderson pulling your head out of that hat you call an ass.

[I seen it dawg]

Great inning and hitting by 2,3,4. Rowdiest and Allen both with 2 strike hits, Allen being a baseball player and running the bases hard, and then Stovall in 4 hole driving in the 2nd run.

[I seen it dawg]

Great job Mac with a 2 strike rbi double. I'm gonna piss foambat7 Off but look how different the offense is without a dead out in 4. And he may start hitting a little bit now that hes out of the 4 hole. **** you Henderson.

[msstate7]

I have said from the first time Alexander was in the 4-hole he should be 6-7th. Never changed my position on it.

That was a horrible strike 3 call, and I don't care who was batting

[I seen it dawg]

We swing at too many breaking balls when ahead in the count. Got to clean that up in summer.

[Bulldog1]

That's what a real cleanup hitter does.

[dawgoneyall]

Which of these freshmen were cohen vs Cann gets.

[I seen it dawg]

Nice job Foscue keeping the inning going. Allen and Foscue are gonna be hell the next 2 years

[msstate7]

Which of these freshmen were cohen vs Cann gets.

Allen is Cann. Rest are Cohen

[msstate7]

Nice job Foscue keeping the inning going. Allen and Foscue are gonna be hell the next 2 years

Foscue is gonna be super. I really like his glove in addition to his bat. He's real deal

[I seen it dawg]

Pitching change in the first for Ky. We have to keep the foot on the gas tho as we inexplicably used up France yesterday instead of him being the Sunday starter. We have less than awesome options on the mound today. Gonna need great outings from JB, neff, Gordon, and mcquarry.

[parabrave]

Wow just watched LA at bat. Will someone give him a valium to settle him down. He posture is like a kid with ants in his pants with all that dam movement, swinging the bat, stomping his forward foot it looks like he is Tony Manero in the box,. No wonder he strikes out so much.

[MarketingBully]

I didn’t know the batters box line was a part of home plate. That ump was bad on that strike 3 call on Alexander.

[MarketingBully]

Why swing at the first pitch there? Nothing you can do with that curveball but bat it into the ground.

[MarketingBully]

That should have been an error not a hit. Error for Alexander.

[msstate7]

Strike outs are actually way down...

Freshman year = 24.39%
Soph = 25.78%
Junior = 14.10% (3rd best among starters)

[MarketingBully]

Holy shit we have no range in the infield.

[I seen it dawg]

**** you henderson. Billingsley can't even challenge these guys.

[I seen it dawg]

Great reaction baseball play by Stovall. Huge

[MarketingBully]

Then Stovall makes that play. Wow! What a play by Stovall.

[msstate7]

Gutsy play by Stovall. Great throw

[I seen it dawg]

Thank Rooney captain obvious

[I seen it dawg]

Too slow a reaction by Billingsley. We just aren't aware quickly enough

[MarketingBully]

Nice. He’s giving us the outside strike.

[Leroy Jenkins]

The game is more fun for me if I imagine what Bob Uecker would be saying every time they show Henderson.

[I seen it dawg]

Thank you large strike zone. We sneak out of that inning with no damage. We better get the pen up when they get back t top of lineup. Billingsley is not gonna hold these guys down.

[msbulldog]

STRIKE 3! Way to go Bill!

[msstate7]

Who follows JB today, neff?

[I seen it dawg]

Now do your job Mangum and pull a ground ball

[msstate7]

Can Florida win the sec today? If they can and do, would they potentially rest singer and kowar?

[I seen it dawg]

Or hit a double. Westburg scores to make it 4-0. Lets go Rowdey pull a ground ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Can Florida win the sec today? If they can and do, would they potentially rest singer and kowar?

No way i would. Keep their rotation going where they are. No disruption. Now in tournament and next wkd i would limit their innings but you still go thru the routine,

[msstate7]

Rowdey is team leader in ops

[I seen it dawg]

Nice job rowdey then Allen. We are hammering their ass now. Got to keep scoring. And Kentucky going clown show in left field.

[msstate7]

No way i would. Keep their rotation going where they are. No disruption. Now in tournament and next wkd i would limit their innings but you still go thru the routine,

I agree... just dreaming a little. No way O'Sullivan passes up a chance to stick it to Cohen anyway

[I seen it dawg]

Great job hunter driving the run in . Great team unselfish at bat. 7-0 us with 1out.

[I seen it dawg]

I agree... just dreaming a little. No way O'Sullivan passes up a chance to stick it to Cohen anyway

I go about 75 pitches with starters and get bullpen guys some work. They havent had to a whole lot so far and they will be needed in post season.

[I seen it dawg]

Mac with a foul out on 3-1 count. Ugh

[I seen it dawg]

Great inning. Keep winning every inning. 7-0 to B2

[I seen it dawg]

Billingsley only chance is to keep getting the outside call

[MoreCowbell]

First game I?ve watched this year(busy few months). We look terrific are we just playing out of our minds or are we going to collapse eventually today?

[I seen it dawg]

Great inning right there's. That's what you have to do after scoring get a quick clean inning and get offense back up

[MoreCowbell]

Also, the frosh look really good. We should be really good in 2020

[Bulldog1]

Just got back to be able to watch the game again. Up 7-0. Great start so far!

[I seen it dawg]

First game I?ve watched this year(busy few months). We look terrific are we just playing out of our minds or are we going to collapse eventually today?

Made a very big lineup change that has sparked us.

[I seen it dawg]

Just got back to be able to watch the game again. Up 7-0. Great start so far!

You haven't been watching? Gtfo of here!

[I seen it dawg]

**** Foscue swinging at that 2-1 shit

[I seen it dawg]

Foscue with a big break. Another runner on

[Bulldog1]

You haven't been watching? Gtfo of here!

Turned it over to the Braves game. Don't want to bring bad luck lol. Keep score posted.

[I seen it dawg]

Kentucky is on the ropes big time. We have to get a few here. Boot by SS on a 2 ball.

[Bulldog1]

Alright now I'm watching the State game. I can't help it. If it brings bad luck, I'll turn it. Haha.

[Bulldog1]

Need to score these 2 runs here.

[I seen it dawg]

Turned it over to the Braves game. Don't want to bring bad luck lol. Keep score posted.

Haha you leave and Foscue on on a groundball, they kick a 2 ball, then wild pitch runners up. Good job

[I seen it dawg]

**** yeah Westburg! 2 run double. 9-0

[Bulldog1]

2 run double down the lf line by Westburg. Good job.

[I seen it dawg]

Attaboy jake! Selfless at bat right there! Movesnrunner over

[I seen it dawg]

Bad at bat by rowdey. Can't strike out with a runner in third less than 2 outs.

[I seen it dawg]

Let's win another inning. Up 9-0 to B3

[parabrave]

Alright now I'm watching the State game. I can't help it. If it brings bad luck, I'll turn it. Haha.

You must've turned on the Braves when Biddle went in.

[msbulldog]

Can Florida win the sec today? If they can and do, would they potentially rest singer and kowar?

Looking at the standings, I don't think anybody can catch Florida as of yesterday.

[msstate7]

Looking at the standings, I don't think anybody can catch Florida as of yesterday.

They clinched a share yesterday.

[Bully13]

Mercy Rule no longer applied these days?

[msbulldog]

They clinched a share yesterday.

I believe that's what I just said 7.

[msstate7]

JB has 6 k and 0 bb in 3 ip on only 42 pitches

Wow

[I seen it dawg]

Won another inning. Keep the pedal down.

[msstate7]

I believe that's what I just said 7.

If someone can share it with them, then someone can still catch them, right?

[MoreCowbell]

Either I only watch when he is in the zone or Jacob Billingsley has been the most underrated pitcher the last year and a half. When he is locked in he can shut down any lineup. He seems to have that clutch gene. Again, it could just be me only seeing him when he is on.

[I seen it dawg]

Terrible let up inning on offense. Can't have those today

[msbulldog]

If someone can share it with them, then someone can still catch them, right?

Arkansas can tie, I don't know if they have played, hence tiebreaker.

[msstate7]

All about walk rate with JB. It was 5.43 bb9 entering game.

[msstate7]

Terrible let up inning on offense. Can't have those today

Yeah, pretty pathetic

[I seen it dawg]

I hate seeing it but foambat is a mess at the plate. He should have gotten a mental day off or 2 about 2 weeks ago. Hate it for the kid regardless of what foambat7 thinks.

[Quaoarsking]

So what was Mingione complaining to the umpires about?

[msbulldog]

Yep, I think you have seen selective games,

[Leroy Jenkins]

LA O-fer-the-series? Probably.

[msstate7]

I hate seeing it but foambat is a mess at the plate. He should have gotten a mental day off or 2 about 2 weeks ago. Hate it for the kid regardless of what foambat7 thinks.

Define mess... results are obviously bad, but 0-9 on series with 3 bb and 1 k. Sometimes balls don't fall. He isn't striking out

[I seen it dawg]

Great at bat but Billingsley wins. Damn

[I seen it dawg]

Define mess... results are obviously bad, but 0-9 on series with 3 bb and 1 k. Sometimes balls don't fall. He isn't striking out

Eye test.

[Bully13]

Define mess... results are obviously bad, but 0-9 on series with 3 bb and 1 k. Sometimes balls don't fall. He isn't striking out

Is he making good contact?

[I seen it dawg]

Great job JB!

[Bulldog1]

Alexander has 3 hits in the last 3 sec series.

[Bulldog1]

JB doing pretty good!

[Bulldog1]

Reminder to everyone- Today's game is on SEC Network (Channel 611 for Directv).

[msstate7]

JB doing pretty good!

His sec era is now better than pilk's

[Leroy Jenkins]

Someone wake up Henderson, he's on TV after the break.

[Bully13]

Reminder to everyone- Today's game is on SEC Network (Channel 611 for Directv).

Son of a bitch. I'm assuming they'll replay it hopefully. Damn. I get so used to never being able to watch them. I check all the time but failed to do so this time. damnit.

[msstate7]

Mize should win going away... mize 13 k9 to 8.8 k9 singer

[Bulldog1]

Son of a bitch. I'm assuming they'll replay it hopefully. Damn. I get so used to never being able to watch them. I check all the time but failed to do so this time. damnit.
I'm pretty sure all 3 against Florida next weekend are on TV as well.

[MarketingBully]

Great statement in a game that is a “must win.”

[msstate7]

I'm pretty sure all 3 against Florida next weekend are on TV as well.

Just Friday Saturday on ESPNu

[Bulldog1]

Just Friday Saturday on ESPNu

Yep. My bad.

[I seen it dawg]

Play Westburg at SS!!!!!!!!

[msstate7]

Small and JB so far have dominated this Kentucky lineup

[msstate7]

Come on OF

[MarketingBully]

Our fielders really don’t help our pitchers sometimes...

[Leroy Jenkins]

The ole "I got it, you take it".

[I seen it dawg]

**** you henderson. Neff sitting in the pen. Get him out with some great confidence and now he's given up 5 and counting.

[I seen it dawg]

Henderson you do that kid no justice. Unreal.

[MarketingBully]

Henderson left JB in too long. Should have started Neff in the sixth and called a day.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Hi. I'm Gary "A beat behind" Henderson.

Hendersoning

[msstate7]

Great outing, JB. If we catch a flyball, he gets thru 6 with 2 er. Little bad luck before a nice swing got em

[I seen it dawg]

Henderson can't be allowed to make decisions. Teach pitchers how to pitch sure but anything else no.

[Todd4State]

Henderson you do that kid no justice. Unreal.

But he didn't get his six innings in yet.** #Hendersoning

[MarketingBully]

Henderson can't be allowed to make decisions. Teach pitchers how to pitch sure but anything else no.

Henderson has had a -10 coaching affect this year. We have lost 10’games as a direct result from his coaching decisions.

[Todd4State]

Great outing, JB. If we catch a flyball, he gets thru 6 with 2 er. Little bad luck before a nice swing got em

That's not bad luck. That's bad baseball.

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Great job JB!

amazing what happens when you don't walk people

[msstate7]

That's not bad luck. That's bad baseball.

Bad luck for JB.

[MarketingBully]

So pitcher bobbles the ball at first and he’s out and we don’t challenge the call?

[MarketingBully]

I really hate Henderson. He’s absolutely worthless. I don’t mind us keeping Gautreau but Henderson has to go no matter what.

[Bully13]

How does a pitching coach constantly leave our pitchers in for too long?

[Todd4State]

I really hate Henderson. He’s absolutely worthless. I don’t mind us keeping Gautreau but Henderson has to go no matter what.

I'll be 100% honest- I want all of them to go. I want a completely new start. Now if Gautreau stays because he is one of the new coaches guys by coincidence that's fine. If it is Schlossnagle I hope he brings his current hitting coach though and moves Gautreau to Mike Brown's spot.

[Todd4State]

How does a pitching coach constantly leave our pitchers in for too long?

Being a pitching coach and being a head baseball coach are totally different- like being an offensive coordinator and a head football coach.

Pitching coaches don't get carte blanche on managing the pitching staff. Sure, they have input but the final call is the head coach's.

[MarketingBully]

Here we go. No confidence when Henderson is involved.

[MarketingBully]

Cole Gordon? Lol

[MarketingBully]

Why isn’t Foscue at third????

[Bully13]

Being a pitching coach and being a head baseball coach are totally different- like being an offensive coordinator and a head football coach.

Doesn't leaving in a pitcher when he's gassed cause injuries?

[MarketingBully]

Now 14-8....Cole Gordon on the mound. What could go wrong?

[Todd4State]

Doesn't leaving in a pitcher when he's gassed cause injuries?

It can.

[Bully13]

Welp. Let's hope we can hold 'em to 5 in the bottom.

[MaroonFlounder]

Need some insurance runs.

No, seriously.

[MarketingBully]

Welp. Let's hope we can hold 'em to 5 in the bottom.

Henderson tried his darndest to **** this up. Luckily 14 runs is hard to overcome.

[Todd4State]

Here's what I predict will happen. We will start Gordon off in the 9th (when it should be Blake Smith). He'll give up a couple of runs and then we will go to Blake Smith with two runners on. We squeak by 14-12.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn travesty Westburg hasn't been playing everyday

[MarketingBully]

Here's what I predict will happen. We will start Gordon off in the 9th (when it should be Blake Smith). He'll give up a couple of runs and then we will go to Blake Smith with two runners on. We squeak by 14-12.

If we are patient at the plate, we should score more runs off this scrub UK is pitching.

[MaroonFlounder]

All the freshmen except Hatcher have progressed as the season unfolded

[Pit Bull]

I agree... just dreaming a little. No way O'Sullivan passes up a chance to stick it to Cohen anyway

Been told Sullivan will indeed do the "Gator Chomp" to the crowd after they win.

[Bully13]

insurance.

[Todd4State]

Edit my prediction to 15-12.

[Bully13]

Let's get some more. may need 'em.

[MaroonFlounder]

Sure could have used some of these runs yesterday

[MarketingBully]

Nine run lead to protect in the ninth. I think we got this..

[MarketingBully]

10 run lead to protect in the ninth. I think we got this...

[MaroonFlounder]

Enjoy it.

Because we will be able to count on one hand the number of runs scored by the home team next week...in all 3 games.

UF starters will all be top mlb draft picks.

[Bully13]

What's our record for runs scored in SEC play? Can't believe how pissed I was when I discovered the game was on t.v. and I missed watching the 9 runs we had already scored. LOL.

[Todd4State]

10 run lead to protect in the ninth. I think we got this...

No lead is safe with #Hendersoning.

[Todd4State]

And while I predicted the score wrong- I'll edit to 18-12- I did predict that Gordon would start the inning.

Buckle your seat belts.

[ScoobaDawg]

nice play luke

[msstate7]

Funny how the sec network announcers have gushed over Alexander's defense the whole weekend while state fans bash him nonstop. Pretty sad

[Pit Bull]

Damn officials have to walk a damn mile to review a play on the tube. And he was out anyway!

[Pit Bull]

nice play luke

Nah....that was an unreal play!

[Todd4State]

Funny how the sec network announcers have gushed over Alexander's defense the whole weekend while state fans bash him nonstop. Pretty sad

My Mom knows more about sports than Dave Neal.

You know the guy that agreed with Coach O going for it on 4th down in the 2007 Egg Bowl?

[Pit Bull]

How does a pitching coach constantly leave our pitchers in for too long?

Probably because he's with our pitchers every day and has been with them for 2 years now. He likely knows their capabilities better than we do. But of course, us fans, know what's best for the team.

[msbulldog]

Wrap it in Maroon and White!

[ScoobaDawg]

HAIL STATE! Dawgs win 18-8

[Bully13]

What are the odds that all the umpires are heading straight to the bar to get ripped?

[Todd4State]

Probably because he's with our pitchers every day and has been with them for 2 years now. He likely knows their capabilities better than we do. But of course, us fans, know what's best for the team.

This is absolutely silly because there is no way to defend many of Henderson's moves.

[VandelayIndustries]

A series win next weekend get us in right?

[MaroonFlounder]

To make the SEC Tourney...


The HailState b-ball Twitter guy says we need

1 win vs UF

or

2 losses by Mizzou to TN next week.

The latter is more likely to happen.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Jessie Jackson would say - We Kept HOPE Alive!

[msstate7]

A series win next weekend get us in right?

I think so. That would really boost our rpi. Florida hasn't lost a series (ANY series) since last season. They will throw the #1 sec era pitcher Thursday and the #4 sec era pitcher Friday. Gonna be tough

[Todd4State]

A series win next weekend get us in right?

A regional? It should. That would be 14 SEC wins and a RPI in probably the 20's if not higher since it's RPI #1.

[Bulldog1]

A series win next weekend get us in right?

Yes.

[Bulldog1]

This is absolutely silly because there is no way to defend many of Henderson's moves.

It's asinine.

[I seen it dawg]

Funny how the sec network announcers have gushed over Alexander's defense the whole weekend while state fans bash him nonstop. Pretty sad

Hopefully his 9th inning will jumpstart him. He's dropped to .190 in sec play

[Bulldog1]

Same thing happens with Pilk.

[msstate7]

Same thing happens with Pilk.

Never have I called pilk a stupid nick name. I'm disappointed in whoever is responsible for pilk losing velocity, which has led to him being ineffective. I figure the coaches and S&C are just as much to blame for pilk's collapse as pilk is. Small, while very effective, has lost a bunch of velocity since pre-TJ. I've expected his velocity to improve as the season went on, but it hasn't. Our pitchers need to be gaining or at least holding steady in velocity, but they seem to be dropping. We have a problem imo

Yes, we do.

[dawgoneyall]

Did I read or hear somewhere we don't have any freshmen pitchers of this squad?

[Bulldog1]

His sec era is now better than pilk's
Not anymore. Pilk at 5.63 and JB at 5.93
Nevermind. I don't think these stats I quoted are updated yet. My bad.

[msstate7]

Not anymore. Pilk at 5.63 and JB at 5.93

Actually 6.25 era after today. JB can thank Jake and Mac for that big boost... should be 5.48 had they caught the fly ball

[MarketingBully]

Actually 6.25 era after today. JB can thank Jake and Mac for that big boost... should be 5.48 had they caught the fly ball

Yeah, that was little league stuff right there. Actually, that should have been Mac’s ball. He had the better angle but someone should have called for it.
