Game Thread: vs OK (Act II)

[msstate7]

McQ cramps

[I seen it dawg]

Need 6 more outs out of laloosh

[Dawg61]

Seriously did Mangum say Bitch as he crossed home plate?

https://media.giphy.com/media/GB7AfEnRyAPcI/giphy.gif

[Bothrops]

Mangum is one hell of a ball player.

[Dawg61]

McQ cramps

How do you get cramps from pitching?? That's like a golfer getting cramps from walking

[CadaverDawg]

4 pitch walk after putting up 8 runs? Only MSU

[Bdawg]

Remember the rule is Gordon isn't allowed to pitch until we are up 15

I was just about to ask is this enough to bring him in to throw strikes and eat some innings for you without too much damage.

[parabrave]

Get him the f out of there Hend.

[I seen it dawg]

Muther****er

[MarketingBully]

I really don’t understand leaving Denver in. He’s obviously hurt and what kind of grip does he have to throw anything?

[Pit Bull]

Good start.....but remember I said it would take 15-20 runs per game to take 2 from OK. Scoring this many this fast makes me nervous (see Samford game). Pitchers have to throw in strike zone and let OK batters beat us.....not us beat ourselves.

[Dawg61]

I really don’t understand leaving Denver in. He’s obviously hurt and what kind of grip does he have to throw anything?

I ain't buying he's hurt. Suck it up buttercup.

[MarketingBully]

Take him out. This is how a big inning starts.

[Bulldog1]

Got to pull him.

[Todd4State]

Is McQuary breathing out of the wrong eyelid again?**

[MarketingBully]

This is just dumb as hell Henderson!!!

[I seen it dawg]

Unbelievable. Taking until they get a strike and we can't throw one

[CadaverDawg]

Get him out before this is a game

[Bdawg]

Please throw strikes or get him out

[ShotgunDawg]

McQuarry is brutal. Just shameful

[Dawg61]

Dude just throw some ****ing change ups till you can locate, shit

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time for a double play ball.

[I seen it dawg]

Great changeup. Let's get a 2 ball

[Bdawg]

McQuarry is brutal. Just shameful

Hell he took a shot in the hand. Hendo is brutal

[Jack Lambert]

Henderson ball. Keep them in when they should come out and take them out when they should stay in.

[MarketingBully]

I just don’t like this decision. That was close to a three run bomb.

[CadaverDawg]

Dude just throw some ****ing change ups till you can locate, shit

Exactly

[KOdawg1]

Something about McQuary that I've noticed is that everytime the ball is hit in the air, he points at it. Earlier this year, he did it on a home run hit off him. Just thought it was kind of funny

[Dawg61]

It's him wishing for it to be a routine fly ball. I know from experience lol

[Dawgcap]

I may be wrong but if you want a kid to not be weak you have to expect him to excell in tough situations

[Bulldog1]

Great job getting out of it by McQ.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Throwing strikes, getting outs. Good recovery McQ

[Dawg61]

Now he looks good enough to get another inning, Denver is bipolar between batters

[I seen it dawg]

Great recovery laloosh. Need 3 more outs out of you

[MarketingBully]

Man, Denver has battled. He’s a tough kid. Henderson gambled and it paid off.

[BulldogBear]

Vandy up 14-5

[MarketingBully]

If Denver had a good pitching coach next year, you could see a big improvement in him. He has electric stuff.

[CadaverDawg]

Good job Denver. It's one run, keep throwing strikes

[LC Dawg]

Great job by Denver so far. We would have all taken one run through 3 if it was offered.

[bostondawg]

Stretch Denver as far as we can.

[Dawgcap]

Thank you! Let a kid grow up in a tough situation

[Dawg61]

I may be wrong but if you want a kid to not be weak you have to expect him to excell in tough situations

You aren't wrong and you can't pull him every time the first sign of trouble happens in the 3rd inning. Gotta develop his toughness on the mound. Unfortunately you don't do it in the regionals though. We should be developing this through the season not post season.

[I seen it dawg]

Pile on let's go

[CadaverDawg]

Would love to see Stovall heat up

[Dawg61]

Great recovery laloosh. Need 3 more outs out of you

I want him to throw a complete game now so we can give him the nickname laloosh as a compliment

[Dawg61]

41 straight 40 win seasons is absurd, murder isn't funny I deleted this comment

[Goldendawg]

Get the run back and add more. Put a 20 spot on them and set how they adjust. Hail State!

[Dawgcap]

If we make it 2 more innings, you tell Cole Gordon we are up 2-1. Finish 2 innings. Make these kids grow up. You will always be weak if you don’t put them in adverse situations. Build their confidence

[MarketingBully]

Why swing at that?

[I seen it dawg]

Not close let's go

[Todd4State]

If we make it 2 more innings, you tell Cole Gordon we are up 2-1. Finish 2 innings. Make these kids grow up. You will always be weak if you don’t put them in adverse situations. Build their confidence

Hell no on Gordon unless we have a really short leash with him. Like the first guy gets on- you pull him right then and there.

OOC games is for "growing up"- not an elimination game in a regional with your season on the line.

[msstate7]

I'd pull that guy if I were Oklahoma for tomorrow

[I seen it dawg]

Need to get back in their pen

[MarketingBully]

Just don’t ****ing swing and he walks a ton but we are free swinging up there. Jeez.

[Bdawg]

Man dang. How many curves in the dirt will we bite on?

[MarketingBully]

Hell no on Gordon unless we have a really short leash with him. Like the first guy gets on- you pull him right then and there.

OOC games is for "growing up"- not an elimination game in a regional with your season on the line.

Agreed.

[CadaverDawg]

Why are we swinging? Take pitches and get deeper in their pen

[CadaverDawg]

Need to get back in their pen

Yep. Take pitches

[MarketingBully]

Why are we swinging? Take pitches and get deeper in their pen

Exactly. I doubt he could throw consecutive strikes by himself.

[Bdawg]

Just don’t ****ing swing and he walks a ton but we are free swinging up there. Jeez.

Time to tighten our strike zone and really make them work for it. Hell we just help their pitch count by swinging at trash

[CadaverDawg]

THROW STRIKES

[Dawg61]

Ok enough of this interview ESPN

[I seen it dawg]

Why are we calling 6 straight change ups. Let's go sylvester

[MarketingBully]

THROW STRIKES

The kid is hurt and probably can’t grip worth a shit. Get him out and put someone else in.

[CadaverDawg]

Great, now we bring in the only guy that can blow an 8 run lead

[MarketingBully]

Here we ****ing go. Hopefully Gordon is on. Henderson loves him some Gordon. Pisses me off but it is what it is.

[Bulldog1]

Gordon time.

[Dawg61]

Oh **** Gordon is coming in

https://media.giphy.com/media/hOJQfco0iaPPa/giphy.gif

[Bdawg]

OK come on Cole!!! Make us all eat our words. Just throw strikes but not belt high grooved ones.

[MarketingBully]

Great, now we bring in the only guy that can blow an 8 run lead

If we lose this game it’s all on Henderson. No reason to warm Gordon up and go with him. But Henderson thinks this gives us the best chance to win.

[BeardoMSU]

Oh **** Gordon is coming in

https://media.giphy.com/media/hOJQfco0iaPPa/giphy.gif

Hey! That's my gif***

[I seen it dawg]

We will know quick.

[Dawg61]

Gordon needs to grow a gnarly stache. At least that'd be impressive.

[I seen it dawg]

Do pitchers even work on throwing first pitch strikes?

[BeardoMSU]

We will know quick.

Yep.

[Dawgcap]

Hell no on Gordon unless we have a really short leash with him. Like the first guy gets on- you pull him right then and there.

OOC games is for "growing up"- not an elimination game in a regional with your season on the line.
I disagree. If Denver is gassed. Give Gordon a leash but not 2 batters. You want guys with balls then make him grow them. Guess we may find out. I love the opportunity for him. Roast me if I’m wrong but I give him several batters

[Saltydog]

to need more runs!

[Bulldog1]

Walked the 9 hole hitter again.

[CadaverDawg]

How can we have so many pitchers that can't throw strikes?

[CadaverDawg]

Skelton isn't helping out. Stay squatted and frame it!!

[Dawg61]

https://i.gifer.com/PgcT.gif

[CadaverDawg]

HUGE DP!

[IMissJack]

Big DP right there.

[Bulldog1]

Big double play!

[ShotgunDawg]

How can we have so many pitchers that can't throw strikes?

It's unreal & speaks to the atrocious recruiting we've had on the mound

That's one thing Schloss will fix real fast

[BulldogBear]

Good play Stovall!!


Vandy up 17-6

[MarketingBully]

Rather be lucky then good. Great double play. Maybe this settles Cole down.

[CadaverDawg]

It's unreal & speaks to the atrocious recruiting we've had on the mound

Yep

[Dawg61]

How can we have so many pitchers that can't throw strikes?

It really is amazing. What's more amazing to me is how do they have a scholarship to an SEC baseball rich program without developing the ability to locate their pitches by the time the get to college? It's like a basketball player not being able to make layups. All of them.

[I seen it dawg]

Wheeeeeewwwwwwwwww

[MarketingBully]

We need Cole to finish this out. He can do it if he gets his head right. That double play could be the catalyst.

[Bdawg]

Skelton isn't helping out. Stay squatted and frame it!!

No s***!!! He bounces around more any catcher I've ever seen. Thought he screwed Cole on one of those curve balls.

[MarketingBully]

Henderson’s bullpen moves working tonight. If Cole goes the rest of the way, we are in as good a shape as we can be for a winner take all game.

[I seen it dawg]

Need to,scratch. Get in their pen

[ShotgunDawg]

It really is amazing. What's more amazing to me is how do they have a scholarship to an SEC baseball rich program without developing the ability to locate their pitches by the time the get to college? It's like a basketball player not being able to make layups. All of them.

The thing about strike throwing is that it's hard to improve.

You can improve it with delivery adjustments, but generally it's about hand-eye coordination, which you either have or you don't.

Saying that, we signed these guys when they weren't throwing strikes. Think about that

[Bulldog1]

We need Cole to finish this out. He can do it if he gets his head right. That double play could be the catalyst.

Yep. Would be awesome if Cole went all the way.

[CadaverDawg]

No s***!!! He bounces around more any catcher I've ever seen. Thought he screwed Cole on one of those curve balls.

We're so bad at all of the basic shit of baseball. It's amazing

[BeardoMSU]

Good job, Cole.

[Dawg61]

They beaning Skelton cause he's been tossing dirt on their shoes??

[MarketingBully]

How do you miss that bad on a fastball unless it’s intentional?

[CadaverDawg]

It really is amazing. What's more amazing to me is how do they have a scholarship to an SEC baseball rich program without developing the ability to locate their pitches by the time the get to college? It's like a basketball player not being able to make layups. All of them.

I know! It's got to be mental

[CadaverDawg]

Take pitches

[HoopsDawg]

I really want to go into tomorrow with Keegan, Neff, Self, and Blake Smith available. That means we need Cole to go deep with maybe Marsh.

[ShotgunDawg]

The thing about strike throwing is that it's hard to improve.

You can improve it with delivery adjustments, but generally it's about hand-eye coordination, which you either have or you don't.

Saying that, we signed these guys when they weren't throwing strikes. Think about that

If you study Schloss' teams at TCU, while he usually had a pretty big pro prospect on the mound, he ALWAYS had a Friday night baller that threw 88-90 mph with plus command of three pitches.

His big time pitching prospects usually pitched on Saturday.

[msstate7]

I really want to go into tomorrow with Keegan, Neff, Self, and Blake Smith available. That means we need Cole to go deep with maybe Marsh.

Need to score a couple here. Keep scoring and hopefully we can ride Cole

Saying that, we signed these guys when they weren't throwing strikes. Think about that

I don't understand how any college program is looking to sign a player that can't throw strikes first. I'd much rather sign a guy throwing 86-88 but can locate all day long over 91mph but walks every other batter.

[Bdawg]

We're so bad at all of the basic shit of baseball. It's amazing

It really is astounding. Schloss is going to s*** a brick when he sees this stuff.

[HoopsDawg]

Need to score a couple here. Keep scoring and hopefully we can ride Cole

Absolutely, France should be available tomorrow too. At least for 3 innings.

[Dawg61]

Oklahoma brings in a bean pole that can't locate. We'll fix his control issues here.

[Dawgcap]

We are up 9-1. Some are bitchin cause we don’t throw strikes but expect us to pull them the first time of adversity. Get on some ass when needed but trust a guy sometimes.

[MarketingBully]

Why are we free swinging?

[Dawg61]

He swung at that

https://media.giphy.com/media/26uflvEHc5sxZ6OC4/giphy.gif

[CadaverDawg]

Stop swinging!!

[Bdawg]

WHy are swinging at bouncing crap. Are we playing cricket or something? Narrow the damn strike zone!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

I don't understand how any college program is looking to sign a player that can't throw strikes first. I'd much rather sign a guy throwing 86-88 but can locate all day long over 91mph but walks every other batter.

Agree. I don't get it either

[MarketingBully]

We are helping Oklahoma out with this free swinging bull shit.

[MarketingBully]

Love a high ball out of the zone is a strike.

[Bulldog1]

We just swinging at EVERYTHING.

[Todd4State]

We are up 9-1. Some are bitchin cause we don’t throw strikes but expect us to pull them the first time of adversity. Get on some ass when needed but trust a guy sometimes.

Yeah but then about 35% of our fans would be upset at the coach for yelling at the player.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Well two of those pitches have not been strikes all night.

[Bulldog1]

We swing at balls bouncing but take pitches on the black.

[CadaverDawg]

We are up 9-1. Some are bitchin cause we don’t throw strikes but expect us to pull them the first time of adversity. Get on some ass when needed but trust a guy sometimes.

The adversity comes because they don't throw strikes

[Dawg61]

We just swinging at EVERYTHING.

They trying to get to the hotel in time to play some Fortnite

[KOdawg1]

We're getting too swing happy. They're struggling to throw strikes too, but we're helping them out

[Lord McBuckethead]

Love a high ball out of the zone is a strike.

Yep. That was outside by 6 inches. McQ says 17 you ump

[MarketingBully]

Man, we are helping them out way too much with this free swinging bullshit. Gautreau needs to eat into them. They have a different approach then they did at the beginning of the game. We need to keep scoring and not get complacent.

[HoopsDawg]

Need to keep our focus at the plate and keep having quality AB's. Don't want any bad habits forming for tomorrow.

[Todd4State]

If you study Schloss' teams at TCU, while he usually had a pretty big pro prospect on the mound, he ALWAYS had a Friday night baller that threw 88-90 mph with plus command of three pitches.

His big time pitching prospects usually pitched on Saturday.

I'm looking forward to having a competently coached and recruited pitching staff.

A lot of our guys look like they did as freshmen- except for maybe Small.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Then we watch two go by.

[RocketDawg]

Just turned the game on ... been out to dinner. Looks like the black uniforms are working ... maybe I'll have to learn to like them.

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Cole! Stay in this groove!

[Dawgcap]

Yeah but then about 35% of our fans would be upset at the coach for yelling at the player.

Ha! Screw them! You want balls and toughness make your guys perform. I know it’s a regional but now is the time to tell everyone on your staff to grow up and finish. We are up 9-1.

[Dawg61]

Some trash talking going on with Gordon and Oklahoma. I love it

[Pit Bull]

Gordon is a like an unopened box of chocolates.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Did Gordon almost have an Immaculate Inning going

[CadaverDawg]

Struck out the side! Make us all eat crow, Cole F Gordon!

[MarketingBully]

Cole feeling it. That double play was the difference imo.

[IMissJack]

Cole has the Uncle Charlie working right now.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Think he threw two balls to the 3rd guy. Almost had it.

[msstate7]

Need Cole to get us to the 7th, at least.

[ShotgunDawg]

Struck out the side! Make us all eat crow, Cole F Gordon!

He looked like a top 5 round prospect right there.

It would almost be less frustrating if these guys weren't talented. It's the teases that frustrate you.

Awesome job Cole!

[Dawg61]

Damn I love this version of Fight Club Cole

https://media.giphy.com/media/xUZ5mu5QpmLM4/giphy.gif

[KOdawg1]

I like this Cole Gordon. Idk what happened to the other guy, but I hope he stays away

[IMissJack]

Some trash talking going on with Gordon and Oklahoma. I love it

OK was doing some mouthing during the Samford game yesterday too.

[IMissJack]

How about taking a few pitches...

[CadaverDawg]

Why tf aren't we working into their pitching depth right now? Good grief

[MarketingBully]

Need Cole to get us to the 7th, at least.

I think Cole could complete it. Remember last year against Florida? He has that type of stuff working. The key is being able to throw the slider and curve over for strikes and then keep them off balanced with the fastball. He’s got decent stuff but his confidence is the key.

[HoopsDawg]

I'd get Gilbert in at Catcher to rest Skelton. Also, find a spot to get Jordan Anderson an AB.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm all for more runs, but it ain't the worst thing for these innings to be quick & Cole keep his rhythm.

With how we are trying to save pitching, Cole getting deeper in this game is almost more valuable than an extra run or two

[HoopsDawg]

Are these assholes throwing at us?

[Dawg61]

Oklahoma wants to fight we can fight

[MarketingBully]

These fastballs in are intentional.

[I seen it dawg]

It's time to drop a muther****er. That's enough

[Todd4State]

If they want to hit us we need to start stealing bases up 9-1.

[Commercecomet24]

Trying to beat us up cause they know we gotta play em again tomorrow

[Dawg61]

Gordon needs to bean a dude bottom inning

[CadaverDawg]

I'd wait till about the bottom of the 8th with a couple outs

[I seen it dawg]

These pussies think they are OU football

[Bulldog1]

Yep

[Todd4State]

I'd wait till about the bottom of the 8th with a couple outs

I'd just keep talking shit to them.

[KOdawg1]

Wish we still had Wes Rea. They'd think twice before throwing at us then

[msstate7]

First pitch first hitter with a heater on the numbers in bottom 6
Don't trust Cole to finish an inning after that

[CadaverDawg]

Alexander is starting to square it up

[HoopsDawg]

Good swing Luke, way to hit it hard.

[MarketingBully]

Our hitters need to wake the **** up. We need to act like 9 runs isn’t going to win this thing.

[Dawg61]

These pussies think they are OU football

Break out the Georgia Football chant

[IMissJack]

Just let Cole keep doing what he did last inning, no distractions.

[I seen it dawg]

Drill somebody right here

[msstate7]

Our hitters need to wake the **** up. We need to act like 9 runs isn’t going to win this thing.

Hopefully fatigue isn't setting in some. Been a long day between playing 1.5 games, heat, and delay

[Lord McBuckethead]

Luke is just swinging late. He needs to shorten up and look to square one up. Just a .1sec late.

[Dawg61]

Wish we still had Wes Rea. They'd think twice before throwing at us then

If you had to pick between fighting Wes Rea or Cole Gordon who you picking?

[I seen it dawg]

Good swing Luke, way to hit it hard.

Tried to go the other way. Novel approach

[Johnson85]

If they want to hit us we need to start stealing bases up 9-1.

We need to be doing that regardless. the more time we get, the longer leash we can have for pitchers and the more we can save fortomorrw.

[Todd4State]

If you had to pick between fighting Wes Rea or Cole Gordon who you picking?

Gordon.

[KOdawg1]

If you had to pick between fighting Wes Rea or Cole Gordon who you picking?

Cole. I ain't messing with that grizzly bear

[Leroy Jenkins]

Luke is just swinging late. He needs to shorten up and look to square one up. Just a .1sec late.

He's late because he's bewildered by anything that moves on two planes.

[IMissJack]

Unbelievable how we got eliminated at home in '89. Thanks for bringing that up announcer.

[Dawg61]

Cole. I ain't messing with that grizzly bear

I ain't fighting Gordon, I'll distract Wes by tossing him a can of Copenhagen

[KOdawg1]

I ain't fighting Gordon, I'll distract Wes by tossing him a can of Copenhagen

Lol nice

[Lord McBuckethead]

That Cole throw was a strike.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Ump ****ed Cole by not punching that guy out.

[CadaverDawg]

Ump screws us on the missed strike, then the guy hits a double. Bullshit

[MarketingBully]

Too good a pitch on 1-2...

[HoopsDawg]

crap, I can only assume Cohen targeted McDonnel.

[IMissJack]

He should have thrown the curve there.

[CadaverDawg]

This game may be close soon. Need more runs

[Dawgcap]

Now you see what he has. Leave him in

[CadaverDawg]

crap, I can only assume Cohen targeted McDonnel.

What?

[CadaverDawg]

crap, I can only assume Cohen targeted McDonnel.

What?

[CadaverDawg]

Big K

[HoopsDawg]

What?

Schloss pulled his name out of the hailstate job.

[msstate7]

At the very beginning of this coaching search, shotgun said big name coaches would use our opening for a raise. I agreed with him. Looks like we were right then, but let schloss fool us

[MarketingBully]

So glad those idiots didn’t send that second run.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cole strikes out the side again. Keep hot kid.

[Dawg61]

Westburg and the banana are going down in MSU baseball HOF

[KOdawg1]

As long as Cole keeps throwing strikes, leave him in there.

[msstate7]

This game may be close soon. Need more runs

Thank God we didn't plunk the first hitter that inning

[Lord McBuckethead]

Time to send Mangum.

[Bdawg]

Freaking smashed!!!

[Todd4State]

Thank God we didn't plunk the first hitter that inning

That's why I don't like hitting batters. I don't mind knocking them down, talking shit to them, or stealing bases with a big lead though.

[Leroy Jenkins]

Suddenly we are the Bronx Bombers.

[Goldendawg]

I think Gordan can finish now. Put 20 on them and let them know how it feels! Also, plunk a couple of them. Hail State!

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Love our fans throwing all the whooping crap back at the Oklahoma fans

[bostondawg]

Do you guys think this coaching search BS drama distracts the players when they read about it tonight at the hotel?

[Pit Bull]

Rally Nana!!!!!......err well.....its better than Rally Possum or Refried CornDog!

[LC Dawg]

If Schlossnagle let that shit leak while we are playing a regional game then I hope we get to play them next year for some payback.

[Todd4State]

Do you guys think this coaching search BS drama distracts the players when they read about it tonight at the hotel?

Nah.

[HoopsDawg]

Westburg swung the bat really well vs UF and was on a roll until he got hurt. I'm glad he's back in the lineup. I think he's going to hit an extra base hit tonight.

prediction came thru

[Lord McBuckethead]

Give Gordon another go.

[mparkerfd20]

While I'm extremely extremely pissed about Schlossjackass, Cole Gordon has kicked ass tonight

[msstate7]

Start pilk or France?

[HoopsDawg]

Start pilk or France?

Great freaking job Cole Gordon!! I'm starting France, then I'm going to James, then I'm closing with Self. Those are my 3 guys.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Alright. Cole is slowing up a little. Dig deep and get us to the 9th.

[KOdawg1]

Start pilk or France?

France with James, Neff, and Self out of the pen.

[Goldendawg]

Gordon may be tiring. who finishes?

[Bulldog1]

My hat's off to Cole Gordon for a great performance tonight! And the rest of the team were awesome as well! Let's win this thing tomorrow!

[Dawg61]

Start pilk or France?

I'd start James. His last inning vs Oklahoma was better than any of Pilk's and he only threw 20 pitches to Pilk's 85ish.

[Dawgcap]

Dude has thrown and done his job. Will he be a great pitcher for us next week but I bet his confidence is sky high. Great job by Denver and Cole. They did a helluva job

[Pit Bull]

Alright. Cole is slowing up a little. Dig deep and get us to the 9th.

Starting to tire a bit. Hot and muggy and Cole has thrown a lot tonight. Hope we can finish with him. Catcher and Hendy will need to keep him focused in the 9th. Just throw strikes even if OK scores a few final runs.

[Todd4State]

Start pilk or France?

I would start France or maybe James.

I bet Henderson starts Cole Marsh.

[Dawgcap]

I'd start James. His last inning vs Oklahoma was better than any of Pilk's and he only threw 20 pitches to Pilk's 85ish.

Don’t disagree but I’m throwing Pilk and telling him to be the guy every one expects him to be. Time to show he’s the 1-3 round draft guy everyone expects.

[KOdawg1]

Dude has thrown and done his job. Will he be a great pitcher for us next week but I bet his confidence is sky high. Great job by Denver and Cole. They did a helluva job

Yep. We needed them to eat these innings and they did. It gave everyone else a chance to recover and get ready for tommorow. We're in good shape

[Bulldog1]

I'd probably start France backed up with James, Self, Neff, Smith, etc.

[KOdawg1]

That interview with Westburg was actually pretty funny

[Dawgcap]

I would start France or maybe James.

I bet Henderson starts Cole Marsh.
Would you not start Pilk?

[hopsondawg22]

Gordon is pitching his best game at State. Hope he can finish with the dub.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Cole needs to go ahead and plunk this asshole.

[msstate7]

Gordon is pitching his best game at State. Hope he can finish with the dub.

You must have missed sec tourney last season

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yep. High and tight two in a row.

[KOdawg1]

9 Ks for Cole. Damn impressive

[KOdawg1]

Would you not start Pilk?

Hail naw. Pilk hasn't been worth a crap in weeks

[hopsondawg22]

Regional play trumps conference torney play everytime. But, that's just my two cents.

[msstate7]

Hail naw. Pilk hasn't been worth a crap in weeks

The best he has been in weeks though was last Tuesday vs LSU on short rest. This would be a day earlier than that.

Wonder if Oklahoma goes back to Friday starter

Neither has McQuary or Gordon. I tell him he’s my guy and it’s time to show your a top mlb talent. Give the guy who has been your #1 and tell him it’s your time to shine.

Damn I forgot about last Tuesday, you're right.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Can?t believe we got 9 innings out of McQuary and Gordon. They set us up about as well as we possibly could hope to be tomorrow.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Would you not start Pilk?

We do not have time for Pilk to give up 4 runs on 40 pitches in the 1st inning for the 5th straight game.

Put Neff out there and throw strikes tomorrow

[Todd4State]

Nice win!

13-5 MSU.

We play for the Regional Championship tomorrow at noon CT.

Plus the bats are hot. Buckle up for tomorrow, it'll be a good one

Your boy showed up and out tonight

[Dawgcap]

A big lead tonight built confidence in a couple guys for next week if we win tomorrow. Throw our Friday guy tomorrow with Keegan late, and lots of confidence against Oklahoma, as late as we can stand. If Pilk is a top 3 round draft pick it’s time to let him show it. At some point you have to trust your guys. They did tonight and we may be better because of it

[LC Dawg]

Great job by Denver and Cole tonight. They gave us what we needed.
I think our bats stay hot tomorrow. We can obviously hit this staff.

Your thinking and we don’t get 100 + plus pitches out of Gordon

[BuckyIsAB****]

I just have a gut feeling it will be another slug fest tommorrow.

Watch it be a 1-0 game though
